I have become so used to the criss cross signature dresses, I expected more variations. There were faint touches of this signature, but without the black detailing.

The theme was urban warrior, hence the bullet belts, camouflage fatigue, and the open balaclava’s.

What contradicted the urban warrior theme, were the bright colours of yellow and pink, which were referred to in the notes as, highlighter pink and yellow.

Cocktail dresses, bandages dress, jackets, pants and coats were all presented in mostly dark or neutral colours.

With the lack of red carpet gowns, I got my buzz from the cocktail dresses. My favourites were the gorgeous red and green cocktail dresses, which were camouflage-esqe with a black lace overlay.

This was a very enjoyable collection, which I would like to at movie screenings, premiere’s, parties and openings.

I just wonder who will be first to wear this collection. Claire Danes or Rachel Weisz.

The lead model would cross over to the adjacent runway, whilst a following model would catch up, and they would meet at the end of the runway to pose for the photographers.

I wasn’t sure if you would get my drift, so I taped some of the action.

Isla Fisher wore a sexy strapless Matthew Williamson Pre-Fall 2009 dress, with a graphic multi-coloured print, and beaded detailing around the waist and pockets.

She wore her dress with mint green peep-toe heels, and large statement earrings.

The dress is very similar in style, to the Spring 2009 peachy dress which model Anja Rubik wore.

I do like Claire Danes’ Zac Posen Pre-Fall 2009 spaghetti strapped printed dress, with a fringed hem, but her hair and the make-up, really let her down.

Her pretty face is lost under a such a bad hairstyle. I’m not sure what happened with the make-up, but she has had much better days on the red carpet.

Krysten Ritter opted for a purple bubble hem, and pleated cap sleeved Sonia by Sonia Rykiel mini dress.

Leslie Bibb shimmered in a silver 3/4 length sleeved dress, with matching pumps.

Who knew writers were so fashion forward. Some how I can’t see JK Rowling wearing this.

Sophie Kinsella - who’s books you must have read - arrived wearing a black and white stripped Alexander McQueen column dress, with padded angular shoulders.

She completed her look with a red and black Union Jack McQueen clutch and black peep-toes.

Wendie Malick bravely opted for a very masculine 3 piece suit. Too masculine.

What a knock out.

Freida Pinto looks nothing short of breath-taking, wearing this metallic one-shouldered Zac Posen Spring 2009 mini dress, to the Directors Guild of America Awards over the weekend.

She wore her dress with matching peep-toes, and her hair and make-up were totally flawless.

The former aspiring model has only had one bad day on the red carpet, which she’s more than made up for ever since.

Amy Adams arrived wearing a shimmering Jasmine Di Milo Spring 2007 dress, with silver and nude sequin details.

What I love is how the dress is cut low at the back, as Amy tries to shake her “safe on the red carpet” image.

Amy never lets me down, safe or not, so this is another fantastic look for me.

Silver Christian Louboutin Fortuna slingbacks complete the look.

Marisa Tomei has an amazing figure, and this white strapless Dior gown shows it off by giving her a very sexy silhouette.

She completes her look with a stunning silver necklace with heart-shape details, and a purple clutch.

Taraji P. Henson strapless Kaufman Franco dress really gives her a lift.

For some reason the necklace really bothers me. The bodice has such an interesting detail on it, but the necklace distracts me.

Taraji gets better and better this awards season.

Michelle Monaghan had a baby girl 3 months ago, and is already back on the red carpet looking stunning.

She shows us her post-baby figure for the first time, wearing a white strapless Giambattista Valli Spring 2009 dress, covered in black paillettes.

Rachel Griffiths is glowing in a champagne coloured Lanvin Fall 2008 dress.

Her jewels are by Neil Lane, and her silver clutch is by Alexandra Knight.

This is a nice enough Temperley London dress for Claire Danes, with the embellished shoulders, but something is missing.

A matching embellished belt perhaps?

Now this is one Herve Leger dress you guys just have to love.

Viola Davis’ dress has a chiffon skirt, to give it such chic elegant touch.

I am glad she opted for a gold clutch, which really grabs your attention.

I love Virginia Madsen. She is always so bold on the red carpet. Never hiding behind black, never covering up.

She has it, and she’s flaunting it.

You go girl.

I am loving the sparkling details on Lisa Edelstein LBD, which is very sexy.

Terri Seymour, the ex-girlfriend of Simon Cowell, used to always be well groomed on the red carpet.

The black turtleneck dress looks fab on her, because lets face it she has the body to carry it, but the crimped hair is such a big no-no.

I don’t think crimped hair has been cool since the 80s.

Best Dressed Award
Wearing the colour of the season - electric blue - Kate Winslet is the only actress that made me say wow last night.

The British actress was truly outstanding wearing a stunning Narciso Rodriguez body-con gown, which hugged her in all the right places.

The deep v-neck proved again that Kate is not afraid to show off her cleavage.

She completed her look with Chopard jewels.

I particularly loved her earrings.

Best Runner Up Award
Had it not been for Kate, Evan Rachel Wood would have won Best Dressed wearing this stunning teal Monique Lhuillier Pre-Fall 2009 off-the-shoulder gown.

She accented the gown with a eagle brooch, which worked well with rest of her antique looking jewelry.

She completed her look with purple Sergio Rossi heels, and a matching clutch.

Most Dramatic Award
I like drama on the red carpet. And Teri Hatcher certainly provided that last night wearing this Monqiue Lhuillier Pre-Fall 2009 gown, which had an asymmetric bodice, folds on the skirt, a train, shoulder detail, and a black belt to finish off the look.

It all sounds to much, but it worked perfectly. Teri more than did it justice as she literally bounced with joy down the red carpet, looking particularly pleased with herself.

Most Undecided Award
I went back and forth a lot with Eva Longoria in this Jenny Packham Spring 2009 dress.

I like the dress, the colour, and the gold crystal and turquoise embellished neckline. But I really dislike Eva’s hair, and the nude mesh part of the dress.

Best White Award
There were many white gowns on the red carpet last night, but Anne Hathaway’s was the most exquisite. The actress wore a white Azzaro gown with crystal embellished neckline and belt.

This dress sees the classic beauty return to her outstanding red carpet form, we have long been admiring.

Her look was complete with Cartier jewels, and Christian Louboutin heels.

I Know You Probably Hate It, But I Love It Award
No red carpet is complete without a Elie Saab gown, and Marisa Tomei did not disappoint in this canary yellow Elie Saab Spring 2009 gown with satin floral detail.

The floral detail started on the shoulder, then cascaded down her back.

She is on fire at the moment.

Back On Track Award
After Freida Pinto’s disappointing Golden Globes gown, she was back to her best wearing a pale blue Marchesa gown.

She completed her look with a Roger Viver box clutch, and Martin Katz jewels.

Best Dressed Couple Award
Diane Lane and Josh Brolin together always make me swoon.

He was gorgeous wearing a black on black suit, whilst she shone, so elegantly, wearing a red David Meister halter gown.

Most Vibrant Award
I have not seen any movies with Viola Davis, so she was not really on my radar, but she surely grabbed my attention wearing a vibrant yellow David Meister draped stretch charmeuse one shoulder evening gown.

The colour really popped against her skin.

Best Red Award
There were a lot of red dresses on the SAG red carpet last night, but I loved the silhouette of Claire Danes’ Nina Ricci gown.

The dress was also set apart with it’s asymmetrical skirt, and its sheer cap sleeves.

She completed her look with Fred Leighton jewels and Jimmy Choo heels.

Best Couture Award
Couture doesn’t have to be about highly structured pieces. It can also be about gorgeous floaty ultra feminine pieces like this Anne Valérie Hash Fall 2008 Couture strapless gown, which Jennifer Morrison wore last night.

The lace skirt and embellished neckline look beautifully delicate.

Best Snap Back Award
The last time I saw Amy Poehler on the red carpet she was pregnant, now she has snapped back to her fabulous pre-baby figure.

The comedian also wore white, and looked angelic wearing a plunge-neck Roberto Cavalli Pre-Fall 2008 gown with a brooch detail on the empire waist.

Silver peep toes and diamond jewels completed the look.

Va Va Voom Award
WOW. I have said it before, and I will say it again. What an amazing figure Christina Hendricks has. Her racy red Carolina Herrera ruffle neck gown, does nothing but enhance it.

Glorious.

Quietly Consistent Award
Jenna Fischer does not wear anything that screams “Look At Me”, but she always manages to look fantastic.

She did so again last night wearing a dove grey silk chiffon plunge-neck Pamella Roland gown with yellow and grey beading along the empire-waist.

Best Deja Vu Award
Lisa Edelstein is wearing a red Reem Acra Pre-Fall 2009 asymmetric gown, we have seen many times before. Mainly because there is a Resort 2009 dress which looks very similar which was recently worn by Gabrielle Union.

Zac Posen’s Spring 2009 collection was full high glamour, from big metallic chandelier earrings to embellished dresses.

There were many frills, sugar-pink cocktail dresses, Grecian dresses, animal print gowns, skirts with square cut outs, ruched cocktail dresses, and even a large canary coat/dress.

My favourite piece was the gorgeous one shoulder metallic dress, which I can imagine Kate Mara, friend of Zac Posen, will get first dibs on.

Continuing the dark romance trend, that dominated the Fall collection, Posen produced a stunning array of black dresses.

Claire Danes was in the front row wearing a stunning peachy/pink dress.

The Williams sisters were front row next to Anna Wintour wearing a Prada Resort 2009 coat over a jeweled neck-line dress which is also from Prada. I don’t know who was more intimidated.

Venus wore a lavender Zac Posen satin Neptune mini dress, whilst sister Serena wore a jade Zac Posen Maison Signature cocktail dress with a stunning necklace.

Kate Mara matched her Christian Louboutin Mad Mary Janes, with her stunning ivory belted dress.

Joy Bryant wore an off-the-shoulder Zac Posen Fall 2008 dress, which for me is not one of her better looks this week.

Leighton Meester opted for this teal halter ensemble, with gold strappy sandals.

Calvin Klein’s Spring 2009 collection was full of crisp, minimalist pieces, in mostly ivory, with some cerulean blues and nude pieces.

The look was dramatic, but the pieces were totally wearable.

The standout pieces were those that had origami folds and pleats.

Eva Mendes was of course in the front row, wearing a white trapeze dress, grey heels and a peach clutch.

Loving everything excluding the grey shoes.

I love the stand-out red on Tyra Banks, but she has pulled her hair back so tightly that she is just recognisable.

I am loving the long shot more than the close up of Serena Williams, and this is because I really do not like her eye make-up.

Leighton Meester is looking more like chic self. Playsuits continue to be a directional choice for this season, and Leighton wore a ivory one with a black trim.

She finished her look with a pair of strappy gold sandals.

I love the multiple colours on Cassie’s sweetheart neckline bubble hemmed mini dress by Coven.

A funky dress, deserves a funky shoe, and Cassie chose multi-coloured heels from Pierre Hardy.

Mena Suvari shows off the back of her stunning jewel embellished chocolate dress, as well as her tattoo.

Claire Danes wore a taffeta belted shirt dress, with a pair of gold and black strappy sandals.

Surprisingly plain for Claire.

Model Jessica Stam wore a black Prada Fall 2008 skirt, with a black top and a beige leather jacket.

I love the air of mystery the Prada skirt gives. Is she or is she not wearing underwear?

She is of course.

All the skirts from the Prada Fall 2008 collection, were presented below the knee, but actress Malin Ackerman wears a shorten mini version of the skirt.

So cute. I fall more and more in love with this collection everyday.

Claire Danes proves by wearing a simple dress, like this Calvin Klein Resort 2009 one-shouldered dress, you can have stunningly dramatic result.

J’Adore.

I am loving the colour, the sheen on the fabric, and the jewels. Everything about Eva Mendes here is pure perfection, as she OOZES sex appeal from every pore.

New mum Halle Berry showed off her post-baby shape in a body-hugging Calvin Klein Resort 2009 dress.

She has lost the weight, but maintained her assets. Spectacular.

Anna Wintour bucks the Calvin Klein unofficial dress code, by wearing a printed green dress from the Prada Resort 2009 collection.

She arrived at this event with her daughter Bee Schaffer, who wore an ivory halter dress.

Oh Leighton Meester, what happened to you?

First that multi-coloured Missoni gown and now this.

I know transparency was a Spring 2009 trend, but I am not feeling it on Leighton.

Naomi Watts is simply fabulous. Only a truly confident women would wear a black lyra dress when heavily pregnant. Love it.

Zoe Saldana is also wearing a stunning ivory sheath dress from the Calvin Klein Resort 2009 collection. She completed her look with taupe strappy sandals.

Molly Sims sparkles in a sequined black mini, with a touch of gold.

Loving the metallic top and leather skirt combo. Like Thandie Newton, Joy Bryant never puts a foot wrong.

There was a time when Ellen Pompeo used to wow us on the red carpet. Some were good, some were bad, but she always took a risk.

OK Calvin Klein does not have many dramatic pieces, but I’d have thought she would pick more than a LBD.

Coco Rocha in Calvin Klein Resort 2009. Stunning fierce as always. ♥

Jessica Szohr wore an asymmetric black and nude dress.

It is not often that she out does Leighton, but on this occasion she most definitely did.

I would have loved this dress on her more had it been just nude.
