Best Modification Award
Vera Farmiga made the right choice at the 2010 Film Independent Spirit Awards.
As much as I love gowns on a red carpet, the Spirit Awards isn’t about that. It’s more casual, so I love that Vera shortened her Marchesa Resort 2010 red dress to make it more event appropriate.
I don’t however like her peep-toes as they almost blend into her skin-tone.
Yes it would’ve been too matchy matchy, but I would’ve preferred red heels on this occasion.

Maverick Award
Maggie Gyllenhaal arrived at the 2010 Film Independent Spirit Awards wearing Lanvin.
Maggie doesn’t conform to red carpet rules, she makes them up as she goes along.
As much as it’s my pet peeve to wear a dress without support, it would be impossible to wear a bra with this Lanvin Spring 2010 asymmetrical dress.
It would however be possible to wear this dress without tights. I guess with the thigh-high split Maggie didn’t want to feel too exposed, but then why wear the dress?
Despite that Maggie does look great, but I still feel that this Spring 2010 Lanvin collection always looks better on the runway than the red carpet.
It always looks so flat on the red carpet.

Dude Back Up & Please Shave Your Legs If You’re Not Gonna Wear A Gown Award
It’s sweet that Mr Mo’Nique is on the red carpet to support his wife, but dude back up so we can see her dress.
Yes he’s there to support her, yes he’s her rock, but it’s her time to shine so let’s see that dress and let him support you a few paces to the side.
It’s like Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise all over again.
From what I can see her beige Tadashi Shoji Spring 2010 dress is beautiful on her.
I like the length and those sparkling heels are gorgeous, but why OH WHY, would you wear a dress of this length if you’re not going to shave your legs?

Fails To Pull It Off Award
Dana Delany loves Prada. She often wears this brand to major award ceremonies.
To the 2010 Film Independent Spirit Awards last night in LA she wore a Prada Resort 2010 tribal print dress.
As much as I love the dress and she accessorized really well – some may think too matchy matchy – she fails to pull off this complicated look imo.
I feel like she wore this too look hip, rather than because she liked it or because it suited her because it doesn’t.

It wasn’t only Camille Belle who had a busy night last night.
Zoe Saldana also hit the red carpet for two events including Louis Vuitton’s ‘Glamour’s Most Glamorous’ Dinner in LA.
Like Camille, Zoe never has a night off looking anything but fabulous.
This Louis Vuitton Spring 2010 mini is a cute and sassy as her last look.
I love the poufy skirt, the adorable pink print and the cute braid in her hair.
This time she pairs her dress with beige pumps.
The only thing that’s not working for me is the black Louis Vuitton Minaudiere clutch.
It feels like they gave it to carry as she arrived at the event, rather than being an original piece of her look.

When it comes to the red carpet on current form NO ONE can compete with Camilla Belle in terms of consistency of fabulous looks.
At the 3rd Annual Pre-Oscar Hollywood Gala in LA she hit another fashionable home-run wearing a black Valentino Pre-Fall 2010 gown.
Her black gown had an open back, a bow detail on the shoulder and an embellished strap.
Her look was paired with stunning silver jewels and a sequin clutch.
J’Adore from head-to-toe.
This was her second red carpet look of last night. That alone is worth admiring.
Of her 3 looks – Marchesa, Jason Wu and this Valentino gown – which would you put up for BDOTW?

Kelly Osbourne sported a Mollie Sugden-esqe haircut and colour as she arrived at the “RADD Grey Goose Party” held at the Soho House in LA.
The svelte star dazzled in her Chelsea Rebelle Spring 2010 dress with a structured bell-shaped skirt, which appears to have a tulle hem (or it could be a shadow).
You may remember that Hayley Williams of Paramore wore a dress from the same collection with the same silhouette to the 2010 People’s Choice Awards.
Sporting a rosy glow and orange nail polish, Kelly completed her look with black pumps. *Thud*
