Hilary Swank dropped jaws all over the Vanity Fair red carpet on Sunday night.

I often forget how amazing Hilary’s body is, but every now and then she wears a show-stopping dress like this just to remind us.

“Millon Dollar Baby” seems like a lifetime ago, but Hilary’s super toned body looks spectacular in this Armani Privé Fall 2009 dress.

The black gown had a chain metal Swarovski beaded plunging bodice with a black asymmetrical satin skirt with a white lining.

Her amazing look was paired with Jimmy Choo ‘Emerald’ jeweled platform sandals, a Roger Vivier clutch and a Van Cleef & Arpels jewels.

My only problem the hair.  It’s too poufy for such a sleek look.

You may remember that Shermine Sharivar wore the runway version to the Bambi Awards last year.  I think Shermaine worked this look better.

Nice Dress, Shame About The Hair Award
Jennifer Lopez is one of the presenters at the 2010 Oscars, and she looked beautiful as she arrived with her husband Marc Anthony.

Like Amanda Seyfried she also wore an Armani Privé Spring 2010 gown.

JLo wore an iridescent icy pale pink gown with a revealing front slit and a crescent-shaped bustier that cascades into a dramatic side train.

This train was accented by Swarovski rock crystals and shimmered beautifully on the red carpet.

I loved this look, but felt disappointed by the hair.

It looked a bit messy which lead me to believe she got caught in the rain.

Ferragamo satin pumps completed her look.

In the battle of the Privé’s Jennifer wins for me as her gown has more drama, which I love.

Cinderella Moment Award
Amanda Seyfried gave us the princess moment we all hoped for on the red carpet at the 2010 Oscars tonight.

We had set visualized from the Armani Privé Spring 2010 collection for Anne Hathaway, but Amanda more than does this look justice.

The strapless Privé gown has a geometric bustier encrusted with Swarovski crystals which is fitted at the waist, but it’s that full skirt accented with the luminescent crystal effect which I really love.

After the Armani Privé Spring 2010 presentation many of you submitted red carpet wish lists for Anne Hathaway.

Whilst we’re still waiting for Anne to don one of Giorgio Armani’s stunning couture designs, we have the beautiful Queen Rania Of Jordan to admire.

The Queen wore a modified version of the Prive strapless dress with an asymmetrical cape when she show her support for the “1GOAL Education Campaign” at the Sanremo music festival.

I like the modified version as perfectly fits the moon them of the Prive Spring 2010 presentation.

Beyonce Knowles had an amazing 2009, so it wasn’t a surprise that she picked up a record 6 Grammy’s including Song of the Year for “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)”.

During her performance at the ceremony last night she sang a mix of  “If I Were A Boy” followed by “You Oughta Know”

She wore a black Atelier Versace Fall 2009 leather mini-dress with a metallic enriched bustier.

Her peep-toe Giuseppe Zanotti ankle boots were just as fierce as her dress.

This was my favourite Bey look of the night.

Beyonce collected her 6 awards wearing an Armani Privé chain metal silver and gold mini-dress.

Her breath-taking dress with dramatic shoulders was encrusted with Swarovski crystals which you can appreciate in the close up.

Bey’s look was paired with Ruthie Davis gold sandals and a supersized earrings.

We have all been eagerly awaiting the 2010 Grammy Awards just to see what Lady GaGa would wear, and the singer didn’t disappoint.

Lady Gaga, who is nominated for 5 Grammy Awards, will be dressed exclusively in Giorgio Armani Privé.

The long sleeved corseted dress – which appears to have been designed based on Look 38 from the Prive Spring 2010 presentation – is covered in Swarovski crystals and seems to have a solar system theme, complete with a spiky accessory and her heels have a touch of McQueen about them.

Giorgio Armani created a variety of pieces for Lady Gaga to wear for both the evening’s ceremony and for her special live stage performance.

Giorgio Armani says, “We hear Lady Gaga’s music everywhere we go. It is like a soundtrack of our times. In addition to her formidable songwriting skills, she is a modern fashion phenomenon. I am delighted to be creating these outfits on such an important night for her, the Grammys, and I wish her the best of luck.”

Sharing Mr. Armani’s enthusiasm, Lady Gaga adds, “I am honored to be wearing Armani this evening. The series of pieces Mr. Armani created for me are truly iconic; they represent not only beautiful fashion, but my spirit and essence as an artist. Mr. Armani is a fashion legend, and tonight would not have been the same without his touch, and his wonderful team.”

This is an amazing and surprisingly and unexpected collaboration. I can’t wait to see what she wears on stage.

I love the dress, but the wig is a tad scary.

The Armani Privé Spring 2010 collection included sleek tailored looks which embodied the shape of a crescent moon.

The moon theme was both subtle and obvious.

Suit buttons were in the shape of the crescent moon, gowns had the moon shape within the folds, whilst other pieces were accessorized with moon necklaces and clutches.

Armani presented silvery hues and exaggerated silhouettes, which would look amazing Cate Blanchett and Anne Hathaway who was in the front row.

The amazing shapes and shimmering looks were presented with a muted colour palette of black, white silver and navy.

All of the gowns were Oscar ready. Lets keeps our fingers crossed that they grace the red carpet.
