It's been awhile since I last did a round-up of my favorite looks on the red carpet, two years in fact, and I decided what better time do this again than the beginning of awards season - starting with the Golden Globes! Before those fancy (mostly talented) A-Listers get to potentially win a statue, they first have to win the favor of every fashion critic (as well as this unqualified fashion blogger) while walking the red carpet. To be honest, I prefer the drama of the red carpet exponentially more than the actual show, so I often find myself completely skipping watching. The fashion tends to be the best part anyways! My other favorite part of these award show nights is being able to relax, unwind and converse with other people about who is wearing who. Why wouldn't I want to start this up again?

Please read on below to see the ten that stood out among all of them. Hope you enjoy!

MY BEST DRESSED

1. Beanie Feldstein in Oscar de la Renta
Why I love it: Ever see someone in a dress and just KNOW that they feel beautiful in it? Yeah, that's how I felt with this look and was eventually the reason I decided she'd be my number one. The rich color, that Blair Waldorf headband, and the stunning cat eye all come together for a beautiful ensemble. I was clapping all night long for this entire look! 

2. Ana de Armas in Ralph & Russo
Why I love it: Drop dead gorgeous, serious Anastasia vibes, absolutely glamorous! I can't think of any other adjectives right now...This was the first look I saw of the night and my jaw instantly dropped. It's super simple, which I think a lot of people were going for the year, but it still shines in all the right places with the colorful drama, the neckline and silhouette. Yes, please.

3. Phoebe Waller-Bridge in Ralph & Russo
Why I love it: The sharp, sexy and oh-so English vibes given off of this just had to be on my list. A tweed tuxedo sounds like it'd be hard to pull off, but not for Phoebe! She flexed HARD tonight and nailed it by pairing the subtle suit with a sleek pair of pumps and tousled hair. 

4. Leslie Bibb in Honor
Why I love it: A look I was not expecting to be from an actress I haven't heard of since she was on the show 'Popular', but supposedly she's still acting and is married to Sam Rockwell. Who would've known?! I'm choosing this dress particularly for that subtle ombre, which is 👌! 

5. Chris Evans in Isaia 
Why I love it: Ugh, what a gift. I'm super partial to this guy but he's been turning into an actual men's style icon for a lot of people, so I'm not mad about that. Thank you kind sir for not wearing a typical black and white tux. You're killing it in this burgundy corduroy suit, absolutely killing it. 

6. Jane Levy in Steven Khalil
Why I love it: I heard Jane arrived for the red carpet, stayed for about 5 minutes and then left to immediately board an airplane to continue filming her new show. If that's not commitment to earn yourself a place on Best Dressed lists, I don't know what is! Loving the romantic Old Hollywood vibes.

7. Saoirse Ronan in Celine
Why I love it: This was definitely more of a subtler look that I've seen her put together, however, I still enjoyed the simplicity of it. Her soft makeup and hair, the pink crystals that reflect in the light and then the hint of skin tie this together for me. 

8. Charlize Theron in Dior Haute Couture
Why I love it: I think it's a fact: the face of Dior has to wear Dior to every event she goes to. I, surprisingly, really enjoyed this dress. Yes, even with the fact that it's green. 😬 The contrast of the black bodice is definitely a helping factor and I just think this is quintessentially Charlize, which is okay in my book!

9. Kaitlyn Dever in Valentino
Why I love it: I was hesitant on if I liked this or not but the more and more I came across it, the more I leaned toward loving it. I noticed that big, puffy, exaggerated sleeves were a trend across the board for a lot of celebrities and this dress nailed that trend. The bold pink and red floral embroidery makes this dress really fun to look at, and doesn't she just look super comfortable in it?! 

10. Gugu Mbatha-Raw in Gucci
Why I love it: This was another look that I wasn't sure if I loved at first but the more I happened upon it, the more I really found myself enjoying it. She's definitely shining in this gown and "G" can stand for glamorous as well, right? Win-win!

Anyone watch the SAG Awards on Sunday? Yeah, neither did I! I actually didn't even have the chance to watch the red carpet while it was happening, however, it was fun to be able to find all my favorite looks at the same time afterwards. While the Golden Globes had the amazing and inspiring #TimesUp movement with every celebrity wearing black on the red carpet, the SAG Awards this year found itself hosting a wide variety of colors, prints and embellishments. I guess you could say it was back to business for the celebrities to bring their A-game?! It was nice to see the one-in-a-few celebrity still supporting the movement with the adorning button, I wish I could have seen a bit more though. If you're going to make a bold statement, an award show is a good place to start. Please see below for ten of my favorite looks!
1. Natalia Dyer in Dior Couture

Why I love it: What is not to love? I had to make her my BEST DRESSED of the entire night. The intergalactic print, paired with a lace bodice makes for the perfect silhouette on Natalia's petite frame. It also speaks highly of her personal taste and style, which I think has improved over the past year or so.
2. Vanessa Kirby in Valentino

Why I love it: For one of the first major award show red carpets I've seen her on, Vanessa did not hesitate to wow the crowd in this gorgeous floral sleeveless gown. I love everything about this - from the makeup to the accessories. Definitely makes me feel like it's spring already.
3. Susan Kelechi Watson in Rubin Singer

Why I love it: Channeling Old Hollywood, in one of three cobalt blue dresses on this list! Can you believe her and the other leading women of 'This Is Us' all showed up in this beautiful color? Serendipity, baby! This color is absolutely stunning on her and matches perfectly with her hairstyle, which I am obsessed with as well, that pulls the entire look together.
4. Brie Larson in Gucci

Why I love it: Look closer at her makeup and you'll see the main reason Brie is number four on this list. That blue eyeshadow has me reminiscing about the early 2000's and I am here for it! The sequin and crystallized Gucci gown doesn't hurt either, making for her to channel her inner femininity.
5. Chrissy Metz in kate spade new york

Why I love it: The second cobalt dress on this list! FYI: I am going to always support Chrissy on the red carpet. She has been killing it lately in regards to getting custom gowns made perfectly for her body. Did you see the custom Eloquii  dress she wore to the Critics Choice Awards? It is so inspiring to see plus-size fashion worn so eloquently and flattering on someone in the entertainment industry. She is unapologetic on the way she looks, she is fierce and funny as hell. Love you, Chrissy!
6. Tracee Ellis Ross in Ralph & Russo Couture

Why I love it: Can you gush over a white gown with a matching cape? I think you can when the daughter of Diana Ross is wearing it.
7. Daniel Kaluuya in Ermenegildo Zegna Couture

Why I love it: You can always expect the classic men's tux to hit the red carpet during award show season, however, there is always that one stand out guy that switches it up. Daniel is that person for me during the SAG Awards this year. The velvet loafers, the detailing on the suit jacket, even down to the jewelry! ðŸ‘Œ
8. Mandy Moore in Ralph Lauren

Why I love it: A vision in blue! The third and final cobalt dress on this list features an actress that I have loved for quite a long time. Mandy looks like a shimmering glitter goddess in this ultra-slimming gown that must have been designed and fitted just for her. It's a pretty straightforward look but it obviously made a statement since she is glowing in every photo that was taken of her on Sunday night.
9. Saoirse Ronan in Louis Vuitton

Why I love it: All that glitters is pink for Saoirse, in this floor length, sleeved gown. I particularly like that this pink is such a breath of fresh air. It feels light and perfect for an event like this award show.
10. Kelly Marie Tran in Mary Katrantzou

Why I love it: BECAUSE KELLY IS PURE SUNSHINE AND THIS DRESS PERFECTLY EXPRESSES THAT!

It's that time of year again! There's a buzz in the air, an excitement that can't be contained, a thrill up the spine of everyone who enjoys pop culture and fashion - it's officially the start of red carpet season y'all! The movie, television + celebrity marathon is off to a grand start with the Golden Globes last night, but there is so much more to come! This is the first time in awhile that I've been THIS excited to see what everyone is going to be wearing during award season, and I'm so ready to play my own fashion critic from the comfort of my own bed. The glitz, glamour and trends that I saw last night were exactly what I wanted from the first show of the season. Sit back, relax and enjoy these favorites of mine from the 2017 Golden Globes! Let me know who YOUR favorite fashionista (or fashionisto) was last night in the comments below.

The fashion event of the season for me, besides the different award shows, is the Met Gala. I look forward to it every year, especially since over the past few years since more celebrities are going to it. That may or may not be a good thing, but that's up to you. This year's theme, China: Through the Looking Glass, brought out quite a few beautiful looks that played on it to a T. I was a bit disappointed with a few choices from people, but Fan Bingbing is by far the stand out of the night! Once I saw her I thought everyone else could go home, but I had a few other favorites and wanted to share my top eight! So... top eight + some honorable mentions. Enjoy!
