VIMwatch: 2011 BAFTAs

Ladies

If it hasn't been made obvious already, we pretty much adore Brown University sophomore and British actress Emma Watson. Last night, the Harry Potter hottie chose a one-shouldered, lace Valentino gown and absolutely stunned, putting many of the others to shame.

We simply couldn't come to a decision regarding our second choice so have decided it's a tie: The always lovely Amy Adams chose a salmon-colored Elie Saab gown for the event and the Fighter actress and mother wowed us from head to toe. Also, Harry Potter star and recently engaged young lady Bonnie Wright managed to create bohemian-chic for the red carpet in a creation from Clements Ribeiro.

Gents

Always a Spartan favorite, Gerard Butler looked dapper over the weekend as he sported a classic black-and-white suit and silk bow tie.

Second only to Gerard, designer Tom Ford attended the ceremony as Julianne Moore's date and looked ravishing in what we can only assume is his own, velvet coat creation. Work that red carpet, Tom.

VIMwatch: 2011 Grammy Awards

Ladies

Attending the award show to pay tribute to Ms. Aretha Franklin, Jennifer Hudson stunned in her navy, mullet-style Versace number. She topped off the look with jewelry by Neil Lane and some fabulous Louboutin shoes.

One of our fave stars, Jennifer Lopez, is on quite the comeback press tour with multiple endorsement deals and a new stint on American Idol. JLo, seemingly, can do no wrong and last night at the Grammys was no exception as she rocked an amazing Pucci mini, looking like the prettiest disco ball we've ever seen. To add to her look, Lopez carried a Cartier clutch and sported Louboutin heels.





Gents

The men of Glee blew all the other nominees out of the water last night...by a mile. Most notable (and perhaps our favorite characters) were Kevin McHale and Darren Criss, who each ditched the classic, black tuxedo look for less conventional (yet absolutely adorable) white and gray suits, respectively.

Best Flicks of 2010

Two things we don't understand about this year's Oscars:
1. As was the case last year, ten films are up for best picture. Ten.
2. Christopher Nolan got ignored in the best director category. Come on, Inception?

Anyway, since we asked your opinion on the ultimate worst film of 2010, now we want the same thing for the best. Comment and share your thoughts.

Best Picture Nominations
127 Hours
Black Swan
The Fighter
Inception
The Kids Are All Right
The King’s Speech
The Social Network
Toy Story 3
True Grit
Winter’s Bone

VIMwatch: 2011 Golden Globes

This year's Golden Globes saw many fabulous fashion moments...and a few flops--Helena Bonham Carter anyone? Though it was tough, we've chosen our favorites below.

Ladies

Olivia Wilde, of Tron, owned the night in her lovely, princess-inspired Marchesa gown. Perhaps the best, and smartest, aspect of Wilde's look is her all around minimalism on everything but the dress. It must also be said that she looks awesome with bangs.

Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester worked last night's red carpet in not one but two major trends of the evening (neutral shades and long-sleeves) and, though many may not agree, we think she pulled them off the best. From her hair and makeup down to her shoes, Meester managed to make her untraditional Burberry dress truly stand out and looked absolutely beautiful.

Gents

Robert Pattinson rocked a gorgeous, midnight navy Gucci tuxedo. Not to mention we are loving (!) his new, shorter hair. Can you say swoon?

Though we think Johnny Depp looked great in his tuxedo-sans-tie, we're going with The Social Network's Jesse Eisenberg as our other best dressed male of the Globes. Eisenberg wore a wide peak, Dolce & Gabbana tuxedo--a vast improvement from his Mark Zuckerberg wardrobe.

VIMwatch: 2011 Critics' Choice Movie Awards

Ladies

Not only did the hilarious Emma Stone walk away last night a winner (for Best Comedy--Easy A) but she absolutely stunned on the red carpet. Stone wore a gorgeous, mesh Balenciaga halter dress. It can't be easy to pull of that much silver, but girlfriend worked it.

Our second choice for the evening is Miss Natalie Portman, who is nearly impossible not to love and also walked away a winner (for Best Actress...dare we say she has an Oscar in her near future?). Portman has been repeatedly attempting to hide her baby bump this awards season and we think this is her best look yet. For the evening she wore a simple, black-and-white Gianfranco Ferre column dress.

[Sidenote: This has us all giddy for Golden Globe/Oscar fashion. Eek!]

Gents

Oh, Ryan Gosling, how we love you AND your style. Gosling broke out the big guns last night in a purple Ferragamo brocade jacket with velvet collar. Needless to say, we think he totally rocked it. While Blue Valentine didn't pick up an award for the evening, we still have hope.

Another stylish male, John Legend, stepped up his fashion game in a shiny Gucci suit with patterned tie. Impressive showing, gents. Very impressive.

VIMwatch: 2011 People's Choice Style

It's our favorite time of year...award season! The 2011 People's Choice Awards have just wrapped and we've got our picks for best fashion of the night.

Ladies


In a lovely Farah Angsana gown and Casadei heels, Ashley Tisdale, of High School Musical fame, stole the red carpet. We love the colors and detail in this dress and not to mention her wonderfully accessorized Swarovski clutch (see photo below). We must note, however, that Tisdale's too-tan skin was not the most flattering we have seen.



Actress/Singer Selena Gomez walked home the night a winner (and performer) and managed to do it with double the style. Now, we always think this 18-year-old looks great, but tonight she truly wowed us with not one but two gorgeous choices--our favorite being the second, print dress by former Project Runway winner Irina Shabayeva with Louboutin shoes, donned during her performance with The Scene. Note: The red carpet look was a Paule Ka dress, Zanotti pumps, and accessory accents in the form of teardrop earrings and a giant ring (see miniature photos below).


Gents


Zac Efron stepped out for the evening in a Burberry suit looking as handsome as ever. Our favorite hottie is currently sporting a buzz cut as a result of his upcoming big screen portrayal of a soldier. Not to mention, Mr. Efron took home the award for Choice Movie Star Under 25.


It looks like we can't get enough of celebs named "Zac/Zack/Zach" lately because our second male choice, Zachary Levi, falls right into that category. We love it when men change it up a bit and Levi's royal blue suit does just that. Props, Zachary, props.

VIMwatch: 2010 AMA Style

Ladies

The fashion last night was A-mazing, especially as far as the ladies were concerned. That said, we would like to give honorable mention to Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus and Kelly Osbourne, who have been hitting it as of late, and to Willow Smith, who is positively fierce. (Click on the thumbnails at the bottom to check out their lovely looks!)


Our first choice is Taylor Swift. Last night, she stepped out with new hair--probably our favorite part--and we loved the "metal" look of the dress and the strappy heels. Win.


It seems as though we've been seeing less and less of Mandy Moore lately. But with the release of her new animated flick Tangled, it only fit that she showed up to present last night and we loved her look. The colors in the dress are amazing and the sequined detail is gorgeous. A truly great choice.

Gents


Honestly, we cannot not give props to the men of NKOTBSB, especially the gorgeous-looking Nick Carter. Not only was their closing performance a lovely trip down memory lane, but they all looked great upon arrival. Anyone else kind of giddy about their upcoming tour?


Our final pick of the night goes to Ne-Yo, whose style we can't help but love. He tends to always rock the hat, but it definitely works. We are also loving the scarf as lining. Work it.

VIMwatch: 2010 CMA Style

Ladies


Ms. Underwood, who hosted the 2010 CMAs, looked absolutely stunning on the red carpet in an amazingly over-the-top, gun metal Talbot Runhof gown. We also appreciate the minimalist attitude with the rest of the ensemble since the dress itself is so loud (in a good way!).


Taylor just keeps on getting fashion right (see HERE) and yesterday evening was no exception as she strutted the red carpet in a red Monique Lhuillier gown. Work it, girl!

Honorable Mention: Sheryl Crow, just for looking gorge at her age.

Gents


Keith Urban isn't always a fashion hit (though he's very good looking), but tonight we made an exception. We don't love his "country style" large belt buckle, but the suit jacket with dark jeans is something we can get on board with. The jacket's lining is fabulous.


Ty Pennington gets a shout out because his tie is fabulous and truly made his ensemble/suit. It ads the perfect pop.

Honorable Mention: Darius Rucker because we loved his undershirt.

VIMwatch: 2010 VMA Style

Ladies


To start, VIM chose Ciara because she is rockin' one of our favorite fall trends - lace. Not to mention, the R&B singer is doing it in head-to-toe Givency. Sold.


Apparently we have an all-new obsession with Selena Gomez because it feels like we blog about her a lot, but can we help it that she just hits it every time? We think not. For one, not many people can pull off metallic. Ever. But this Reem Acra number on Miss Gomez looks plain stunning and we can't wait to see what she wears next.

Gents

We fell in love with the Justins last night. Though we have two major things to say: 1) black is quite the trend and 2) seriously, when is JT coming out with new music?!


We have to give Bieber props. Though the outfit is a bit busy, we like the sneaker accent and love his vest. Biebs should however take a note from others and drop the "I'm a thug" posing, it's convincing no one. Need we remind you of Miley's months of giving paps the "peace" sign. Thought so.


Last, but not least, Mr. Timberlake. My how we've missed you. I suppose we could watch you on the big screen but it's just not the same as hearing you sing to us. Please read this and work on your next album, the world is sick of waiting. Anyway, JT hits the fashion note on the dot in this one, mostly because his shoes are just too good.

VIMwatch: 2010 Emmy style

Ladies



Golden Globe winner (for Felicity) Keri Russell, looked absolutely stunning - as usual - in this bright pink summer-y gown. We don't know how she does it, but girlfriend is always looking the epitome of class. And we love her hair, too. Check out Russell's new series Running Wilde, also starring Arrested Development's Will Arnett as the title character, on FOX.



Once again, the lovely Claire Danes was the envy of many in her gorgeous glittery gown. I mean, honestly, who doesn't love something that sparkles? And when someone can pull it off as well as Danes here, there's really nothing to complain about. Not to mention Danes took the Emmy for Outstanding Actress in a Miniseries or Movie for Temple Grandin.

Gents



Peter Facinelli apparently has time away from the Twilight films to also star in the Showtime series Nurse Jackie - who knew?! - and made an appearance at this year's Emmys looking pretty awesome. Though the hair might be what really makes this outfit, we are loving the white on white look.



Personally, we think The Office's John Krasinski can't help but be absolutely adorable. He really took that to another level at this particular award show with his fabulous silver bowtie. Love it!

VIMwatch: Teen Choice 2010 Style

Ladies

Lea Michelle of Glee was looking stunning as ever Sunday night in this gorgeous green ensemble. Note: Lea's tan shoes (this seems to be a trend among most of the starlets of the evening).

Burlesque star Kristin Bell wowed us with her slightly oriental summer dress. Not too shabby.























Gents

Ian Somerhalder from The Vampire Diaries and modeling fame looked absolutely scorching in his James Dean-esque, "bad boy" getup.

From left field, Joshua Jackson stole the red carpet looking absolutely dapper in this dark blue blazer-and-tie with dark jeans combo. We'll always have a soft spot for Pacey Witter.
