Jane Krakowski - No Sagging at SAG Awards

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Red Carpet Trends

Revealing on the Red Carpet

    This ladies and gentlemen, is what a superstar looks like: Beyonce wearing the heck out of a deceptively simple looking black turtleneck dress at the Gotham Magazine gala. She's gorgeous!

    This is what people are talking about when they praise Beyonce's curves. She looks like a fantasy creation, and even though she is as covered up as possible -- what kind of shoes is she even wearing? No one knows! -- nothing is left to the imagination.

    And this is how you put together an outfit for an event. Her hair: striking -- pulled back, out of the way, not fighting with the dress. The only jewelry: bold but simple earrings. She's not even wearing her 18 carat engagement ring, just some shiny red nail polish.

    She is, however, wearing 10 pounds of "You're damn right I'm fabulous" attitude, which is what really puts this in the StyleFab history books for us. Sasha Fierce rulz!

    Of course, Beyonce isn't the only celeb who goes revealing on the red carpet. The question is: Who pulls it off, and who's revealing too much?

    Keira Knightley's tattered rags look like a stiff breeze could make the actress considerably less decent.

    Someone should've told Gwyneth Paltrow that you can see right through that dress -- and we'd prefer not to.

Jane Krakowski hit the Screen Actors Guild Awards red carpet last night, looking gorgeous in a red dress with a deep, deep neckline. And from the front, it was daring, but sexy and fun. From the side, it simply looked like a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen. All we can say is that we're pretty sure she wasn't stingy with the tape.

Is this a 30 Rock trend? Tina Fey showed off her cleavage at the Golden Globes, and now Jane showed how perky she can really be at the SAG Awards. Who's next? Seriously, if Alec Baldwin shows up at the Oscars with his shirt unbuttoned past his sternum, we're going to have a problem.

Flatter Your Figure: Dressing for Formal Events

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Flatter Your Figure


Formal events are often the events for which we want to look our very best. You might be seeing people you haven't seen for a while, or meeting new people you'd like to impress. Either way, you want to look absolutely amazing.

The thing is, formal gowns often show body parts we normally keep covered, like our backs, shoulders, and arms, and they sometimes cling to our stomachs and hips in ways that are unflattering -- not exactly what we're going for on a big night out, right?

Here are some tips for working with your figure when finding a dress for a formal event:

What to wear under your red carpet dress: Victoria's Secret Very Sexy 100

Filed under: Swimwear and Lingerie, Red Carpet Trends

Well, the pre-red carpet coverage on E! (yes, I started tuning in at 4:30 -- what?!?) included a short fashion show from Victoria's Secret, and one of the items they really pushed as a must-have red carpet undergarment was the Very Sexy 100-way Strapless Convertible Bra.

On the television, I have to admit, it looks like a bit of a miracle -- they showed a couple of different necklines and types of straps, and the bra was able to accommodate them all. However, they didn't exactly get to 100 different styles, so I'm not sure how accurate the name is. Also, none of the models were particularly well-endowed, so I'd be very curious to see how the bra worked for a more busty broad who actually needed the support.

I then checked out some reviews and was pretty disappointed to see that many women who tried the bra on were less than thrilled it. It seems to be a good concept but perhaps needs a little work. At any rate, if you have a gown (red carpet or otherwise) with a neckline that seems to make wearing a bra impossible, you might want to check out your friendly neighborhood Victoria's Secret and give this bra a try. Or, if you already have, let me know what you thought of it!
