Happy Birthday to You!: Jennifer Connelly

Happy Birthday Jennifer Connelly! Today, Ms. Connelly is 40 years old. And in honor of Jen's birthday, let's go ahead and check out her most recent red carpet outing:

Dress: 3.5/4. Love the pattern and the sparkle of the dress.
Jacket: 3.5/4. Totally fierce, but not sure about how it goes with the dress.
Shoes: 4/4. So fab. These shoes could work in a variety of situations. Love them.

In or Out? Since it's her b-day and every item she's wearing is Balenciaga and she looks totally gorge for a 40 yr old, we're giving Jennifer an IN (BTW, hubby Paul Bettany is looking pretty dapper himself). Happy Birthday!

Oprah and Gayle Do Australia

You know we've never really associated tropical printed muumuus with Sydney, Australia, but then who are we to tell Oprah and Gayle they're not dressed appropriately? However, we really must comment on how unflattering such a look can be on larger ladies. Oprah, babe, everyone knows you should try to create a shape, not emphasize your lack of a waist by raiding Mrs. Roper's closet.

One Word Red Carpet Reviews: Spike TV 2010 Video Game Awards

Hello, hello dear hearts and gentle souls! So, what did we think of what our fave (or perhaps our geekiest?) celebs showed up wearing at the Spike TV 2010 Video Game Awards?

The rules are as always: Please use one word or less!

1. NPH. Gangsta.

Carey Mulligan and the Sheik

We hate to continually dote on Ms. Mulligan, but we just can't help ourselves, particularly when she looks sooooo Tippi Hedron. The Sheik may be trying really hard not to grin, but we know Carey must have totally charmed this guy.

Red Carpet: Kate Walsh in a Pantsuit

There is so much wrong with Kate Walsh's pantsuit, seen below at the Trevor LIVE evening in Hollywood, that we're not quite sure where to begin. But for your sake gentle readers, we will, of course, try.

First of all, we hate the tapered ankles, which do a fantastic job of making Miss Kate's hips look three times larger than they actually are. Plus, we have never been a fan of any variation of the harem pant. Second, it certainly looks like somebody forgot to do the flash test. Yep. That's right. Kate's bra cups are showing right through this get-up although we suppose that's better than exposing nipple. And, finally, we're pretty sure those pants are pleated. In a word, no.

In short, we think this entire outfit may be the worst move Kate's made since she left Grey's Anatomy for Private Practice. What say you dear hearts?

Angelina Jolie Circa 1984

So, here's a riddle for you, dear hearts: What do you get when you cross Joan Collins with Tammy Wynette?

Still haven't guessed it darlings? Why the answer is Angelina Jolie, of course. 

Oh, Angie, dear, what were you thinking? Between the strong shoulders in your gown and the giant aquanetted  hair, we're not sure if we've been thrown into a 1984 soap opera or a bad country song. Ange, let's tone down the hair next time, shall we?

Red Carpet: Anne Hathaway does J Lo

Never in a million years would we ever have believed that Anne Hathaway could look as good or better in a dress so typically J Lo. But here we are, dear hearts, looking at what  we think is one of Anne's best looks in awhile (although actually she's been doing must better than usual lately).

The gold lights up her whole face and the mod dress is both super flattering and super fun on Ms. Hathaway. Her entire look is both effortless and put together. And it appears that even Anne, herself, knows she looks pretty great as she's all smiles. Definitely IN.

Red Carpet: Carey Mulligan at the Moet British Independent Film Awards

 
Carey Mulligan showed up in red at the Moet British Independent Film Awards. And, as usual, Ms. Mulligan also showed up looking adorable. We love the color on her and think there's something very Hitchcock-icy-blond about her in this dress, with that hair and those shoes. In other words, there's something fabulously retro about Carey's look...which is why we're just a bit confused by the weird remote control purse she seems to be carrying.
