SAG AWARDS 2009 STYLE

The pat on the back awards aka the 2009 Screen Actors Guild Awards ended with the usual suspects winning "the actor." However, everyone knows the fashion show on the red carpet is must see t.v, especially in Los Angeles. "Slumdog Millionaire" star Freida Pinto was freakishly beautiful in a periwinkle Marchesa gown. The unusual color complemented her olive skin and I was completely in awe of her exquisite makeup and sleek updo. My new girl crush was hands down the nights biggest winner in my style book!

Starlet Rosario Dawson went old school Hollywood glamour in Dolce and Gabbana. The satin ruched gown was elegantly unexpected for the New Yorker who usually dons vivid colors for the cameras. The red lips was a nice touch, but I cant help the urge to run out to Ikea for curtain rods.

Best Supporting Actress Nominee Taraji P. Henson showed off her dangerous curves in a fitted Herve Leroux gown. I thought "The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons" star was flawlessly gorgeous. I can't wait to see what she wears to the Academy Awards in February.

I'm not used to seeing "Doubt's" Viola Davis on the red carpet, but she grabbed my attention in this vibrant marigold David Meister gown. It was the perfect hue against her mahogany skin and the Juilliard grad proved she isn't a wallflower and is definitely poised to be an A-lister.

Saucy Eva Longoria Parker can pretty much wear anything, except for this Spring 2009 Jenny Packham gown. I didn't mind the peachy color, but the rest of the dress just had too much going on. The bedazzled neckline and the can-can ruffles around her waist was Not flattering to her five foot tall figure. The matronly do' didn't help Eva's faux pas. Seriously, she really looked like a Desperate Housewife.

Muy caliente! Spanish star Penelope Cruz sizzled in vintage Azzedine Alaia. In a sea of color, she stood out in the fitted black velvet gown. Although it was simple, the couture confection was a toast to high fashion and Penelope wore it well!
