My Top 5 Red Carpet Looks So Far

-
As you all know, I love looking at red carpets and picking out which dresses I like.  I've had a series going for a while now on looks that catch my eye; and today I thought it might be fun to share 'the cream of the crop,' as far as I'm concerned. ;)  


I went through and decided which were my favorites fairly quickly, so this list might not be entirely accurate.  But it is to the best of my current knowledge and recollection, though of course it's subject to change at a moment's notice. :-P

Some of these I've shared before and some of them are new, but you'll see an affinity for clean lines, draping, simplicity, elegance, originality, delicate jewelry & makeup accents, and thoughtful color selection in my choices.  

Hope you enjoy! :)


. . . . . . . . . . 

Actress: Rachel Brosnahan

What I love:
  • the color: absolutely the perfect shade of red for her
  • the style: it's not one I would wear myself, but it's unique without being strange, and I love it
  • the styling & makeup


Actress: Emma Watson

What I love:
  • the halter neckline
  • the gauzy swishy-ness of the skirt/slit
  • the fact that she chose white shoes to keep the continuity
  • the hairdo


Actress: Emma Stone

What I love:
  • the dual shades of pink, especially with her red hair
  • crop top pieces often remind me of Jasmine
  • how they chose the lighter shade to be the top piece
  • this is so unabashedly girly and fun: it's not really dramatic, just happy
  • the little gold clutch


Lawyer: Amal Clooney

What I love:
  • THE COLOR:  I get unreasonably excited when I see someone pulling off the color yellow, especially a light yellow
  • the ruching/pleating/whatever that is on the bodice
  • the almost pin curly hairstyle
  • the pop of red in her earrings & lip color
  • you can't really see it in this picture, but the swish is real with this dress


Model: Winnie Harlow

What I love:
  • this fabric: whatever it is, it has stars and ocean depths shining out of it and don't even argue with me
  • hair & earrings
  • the cut of the dress: it just wraps and plunges and billows into this frothy confection of aqua royalty


. . . . . . . . . . 





Heehee, just kidding. ;)  What are some of your favorite red carpet looks?  Or, do you not give a rip about such frippery?

    Oh man. You've picked some gorgeous dresses here.
    I would be most likely to pick the red one for myself. It's elegant but seems comfortable for a dress and I love jewel tones.
    The blue one is so gorgeous though and I especially love the way you described it :DDD

      Thanks!

      I love jewel tones, too. And I know, it's just such a lovely creation. <3

      Aww, thanks. I had fun trying to figure out how to describe it :D

Comments make my day. Seriously. I'd be so happy if you commented. :)

I've gotten really bad about replying in a timely manner, but it's always my intention to do so eventually. (Even though it doesn't always happen. ;))

Movies: Month in Review {February 2018}

First things first: I changed my blog look!  March 1st is the first day of spring to me, and "I will brook no argument."  So that means, for me, that SPRING HAS BEGUN!!! Obviously, I can't keep a winter blog look if I think it's spring , now, can I? ;)  What do you all think of it?  I'm pretty happy with it, though I may change the sidebar back to the right-hand side, and I might change my profile picture. And now, the post. ///// Captain America: Civil War (2016) First of all, it probably would have been better if I had seen Avengers: Age of Ultron before watching this, but no matter.  My brother was able to fill in the gaps for me. This one excited many mixed feelings in me. basically I'm holding off on sharing my thoughts about most of the characters until I can get caught up on the rest of the Marvel movies (I've watched several but am quite behind on some others), but for now: I don't know whose "te

Ivanhoe (1997) movie review

I think you all know this, but I am a rather big Ivanhoe fan.  I read the book for the first time a number of months ago and absolutely fell in love.  Well, now that I loved the book, I must needs try out the film adaptations, mustn't I? My first preference would have been for the 1982 version starring Anthony Andrews and Olivia Hussey, as I'd seen clips of that and they looked decent.  Unfortunately, however, my library system doesn't have it, and neither does YouTube or Netflix or other such commodities:(  Thus, I had to content myself with first seeing the 1997 miniseries version, which I just finished yesterday. Here are my thoughts;) Opening scene:   Why is it starting with Ivanhoe being flogged?  This makes little sense. *sigh*  Overall…I'm torn.  Certain things were done extremely well, and some were done…not so well.  The main problem, put succinctly, is that it kept making me have this reaction so many times: Seriously, though.  I mean, I loved t

BBC Robin Hood TV Series, Season 1 Review

-

First off, this part was the CUTEST. THING. EVER. *takes deep, shuddery breath* Okay, peoples. I'm going to try my very best to get through this review.  It'll be hard.  Because what even is this. For starters, let me say that I have only watched the first season of the BBC Robin Hood .  This is because the show is going off Netflix on February 9th *sniffle*, so I knew there was no way I'd be able to squeeze watched 26 episodes of a very feelsy show into a mere couple of weeks.  So I've watched the first season and will leave it at that until I can find some other way to watch the rest.  It was also because I know That Which Happens At The End Of Season Two, and I was so not  about to put myself through that when there was a danger of not being able to watch the third season.  There is a possibility that I might just skip the second season and watch the third, even though that would mean missing so much of Djaq and Will and even though I've he
