Red Carpet Fashion Awards

Eva Longoria was the host of the 2012 ALMA Awards which were held at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Pasadena, California, on Sunday evening.

The actress’ first look of the night was a Monique Lhuillier Fall 2012 gown.

Her jet-black gown with a chiffon beaded neckline, cap sleeves and a central slit is stunning, but I don’t understand why she had to do a Blake Lively all the way down the red carpet.

You may remember the time when Blake Lively wore a Lanvin gown, held to one side to ensure her shapely pins were on display as she walked down the red carpet.

Tom Ford sandals, a chic updo, coral lips and diamond stud earrings completed her look.

‘Don’t Call It A Comeback’ Award
Jessica Alba returned to the red carpet after giving birth to her second child recently.

She was glowing 2011 ALMA Awards which was held at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in California last night.

The actress opted to wear pretty Michael Kors strapless dress from the Fall 2011 collection.

Her grey print dress was cinched in at the waist with a silver metallic belt.

A sparkly silver clutch, a spiked, studded gold necklace and silver metal ring accessorized the look.

Soft, wavy hair, smoky eyes and glossy lips provided the finishing touches.

Best Dressed Award
Demi Lovato was one of many stars to take the red carpet last night for the 2011 ALMA Awards which were held at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in California.

She was a winner at the event, taking home the prize for ‘Favourite TV Actress’ for her role as Sonny in Disney’s “Sonny With A Chance.”

Demi was glowing wearing a Maria Lucia Hohan nude gown.

I think this is the best I have ever seen her.

She looks grown up without the look ageing her and the colour is divine against her caramel skin-tone.

I also can’t fault the hair and makeup as both are flawless.

Demi was by far my favourite at this event.

Best Earrings Award
Marcia Cross made a long awaited return to the red carpet at the 2011 ALMA Awards last night.

The Desperate Housewives star supported her co-star Eva Longoria, who was the host on the night.

Marcia looked breath-taking wearing a Jean Fares Couture gown.

The navy lace strapless gown with a sweet-heart neckline and bow accent was paired with most dazzling berry earrings which was complemented by a matching cuff.

That gorgeous red hair was swept over one shoulder as she completed her look with glossy lips and smoky eyes.

I wish the clutch had either matched the colour of her earrings or been navy blue.

A navy blue embellished Swarovski clutch completes her look and she gets a perfect 10 from me.

Back On Form Award
Eva Longoria co-hosted the 2011 ALMA Awards with George Lopez last night.

Eva the diva was back on top form wearing a stunning Oscar de la Renta Resort 2012 gown.

Her coral flamingo silk faille draped gown had a ruched bodice and dramatic train.

The gown fits her like a glove and she’s working it like a 6ft supermodel.

She pulled her hair up into a high bun and only accessorized with drop earrings.

It’s good to have her back on what I call “Cannes form.”

I’m off to see some more shows during Fashion Week, so I will add more lovely ladies from this event later.

The ALMA Awards aired last night, and here are the stunning gowns Eva Longoria wore.

Last year she changed 8 times during the night.  This time only 7 changes.

You’ll recognise the first gown because Emily Deschanel wore the strapless version of this stunning tulle Gustavo Cadile Fall 2009 gown at the 2009 Monte Carlo Television Festival Closing Ceremony.

The main difference is that Eva’s gown has been modified to become a one-shouldered gown with a contrast eggplant sash.

I adore this gown from the colour to the tiered skirt, and I’ve been in love with it from the very second I saw it in Cadile’s showroom.

Her second gown was also by Gustavo Cadile. This time she picked a luscious green gown from his Resort 2010 collection.

This gown also has a one-shoulder detail with a fan over her shoulder for added dramatic effect to the volume of the piece.

I don’t ever remember Eva wearing green before, but the colour is vibrant and really pops against her skin.

Eva’s next look was an Angel Sanchez Bridal Spring 2009 gown.

Thankfully this one-shoulder gown doesn’t have a sickly sweet bridal feel to it, as its quite simple with just bow detail on the bodice.

She gives this look an old Hollywood feel with her retro 50s hairstyle.

I’m really disappointed I couldn’t find a full-length version of Eva’s Carlos Miele Fall 2009 gown, as I think it would have looked spectacular on her with the dual prints and the chiffon flowing train.

Those hooped earrings are huge.

I would go as far as to say this Caroline Herrera Fall 2009 gown was my least favourite of the Fall 2009 season, and I dislike it even more on Eva.

It does nothing for her.

The other gowns brings colour, texture and vitality – this is just grey, dull, and unflattering for Eva.

Oscar de la Renta gowns were the 2 final looks for Eva on the night.

I love the blush gown with the sequin overlay. This kind of colour I really allows Eva to glow.

The black and white floral gown feels like it is swamping Eva with the 2 layers. This would be my second least favourite after the Herrera horror.
