WHO WORE WHAT?.....2016 SAG Awards Red Carpet: Nicole Kidman in Gucci

 Nicole Kidman in Gucci

Nicole Kidman wore this pink, lilac and violet sequined gown from Gucci. Gucci's new designer Alessandro Michele (he's been Creative Director since last year) has been shaping up the fashion world with his "Geek Chic/70's" new look to the House of Gucci and I guess Kidman (or whoever styled her) thought she would look divine in one of his newest creations. I may have to disagree. This was a bit of a mess. While I give her points for going "out there" (as "out there" as one can go nowadays at these otherwise boring red carpet events), this style was a bit too Cirque du Soleil-meets-Valley of the Dolls...

Trompe L'oeil Gucci: While the gown may look like it is ruffled, it's a trompe l'oeil effect (an illusion) which is quite interesting in terms of the dress but I just don't think it translated well on the red carpet. Now, if she wore this in Capri with gold sandals while drinking a Campari and Soda, I would have probably thought she looked bellissima!



With that being said...What do you guys think of this on Nicole Kidman? Yay or Nay?

Nicole Kidman in Antonio Berardi Spring 2013

Emmys Red Carpet: Leave it to Nicole Kidman to wear something that was JUST shown on the runways--Hot off the London Runway (the show was only 6 days ago!), is this Antonio Berardi Spring 2013 ivory crepe bateau neckline gown with blue sequined embellishment. On the runway, the look came with a matching cropped jacket (which I think looks soooo chic!)--I kind of wished she would have worn it with the jacket but I get it: I think it's like 105 degrees out there! Do you guys like with--or without--the jacket? Let me know.

Aussie Style!

Cate Blanchett

This past weekend--on Saturday night--a brand new episode of "Style Star" debuted on the Style Network. This week the stars were Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman...yes, the Theme was "Style Star: Aussie Style".

Nicole Kidman (with then-hubby Tom Cruise)

I was asked to be one of the Style Experts commentating on these fabulous ladies' style and so naturally, I gave my "Nick Two Cents"--along with Hair Guru Ken Paves, LA Times Fashion Editor Melissa Magsaysay and my good friend Marcellas Reynolds.

And personally, I had a BLAST commenting; I love these two fashion diva/muses. It's so easy to discuss the style evolution of women that are so "Style Inspirational"--to a Fashion Designer like myself--as Cate and Nicole.

On the episode, we discussed Miss Cate and that angelic blue chiffon Jean Paul Gaultier gown she wore to the 2005 Golden Globe Awards.

I loved the asymmetry of it, the weightlessness of it and of course, how Miss Cate carried it off--down to the last 1/4 inch of that train huney!

As well as...

The yellow silk taffeta Valentino (above) she wore to win her Best Actress Oscar at the 77Th Academy Awards in 2005.

Now of course, in terms of Nicole Kidman...
There was no denying that the Christian Dior Haute Couture chartreuse silk and mink "Chinoiserie" gown (above) from disgraced (and let-go) designer John Galliano that she wore at the 1997 Academy Awards was a DEFINITE "Nicole Kidman Style Star" moment!

And one of my favorite looks from her was also this lipstick-red Balenciaga sleek silk crepe bow-necked halter gown which she wore to the 2007 Academy Awards. Love. Love. Love.

To check out what else I--and all the other "Style Star" experts-- thought of Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman and their DIVA Aussie Style....
