Every glam event is a chance to show off oneself and often our stars use this rare opportunity to attract attention. The Oscar ceremony is one of the most expected, not only because we all want to know which films are considered the best but also to see what most glamorous women wear to it.
It is a common fact that to stand out at the Oscars is always a very difficult thing. But some women know very well how to do it. And one of these is definitely Jennifer Lopez. The singer appeared on the red carpet wearing a sumptuous strapless gown by Armani Prive.
By the way, Armani creations were extremely popular. Amanda Seyfried also wore a dress by this designer and looked absolutely gorgeous.
Vera Farmiga chose a more colorful dress from Marchesa, a real red-carpet label. The actress looked perfect.
Anna Kendrick was the embodiment of youth and chic as she wore a gorgeous Elie Saab gown to the event.
Sandra Bullock, who was named the Best Actress, sported a fabulous Marchesa frock. She opted for a silver clutch to match her outfit.

Keira Knightley graces the cover of Elle magazine March 2010 issue wearing sumptuous outfits from Donna Karan. The actress looks beautiful and confident and it’s hard to say that she can feel outrageous by talks about her poor acting skills. To me she is one of the most talented actresses in Hollywood and I absolutely loved her role in Pirates of the Caribbean. Besides, she is very fashion-conscious and knows how to dress to look stylish.
In the interview she reveals about her attitude to honesty and comments the talks about her lack of talent:
On criticism of her acting skills: “Oh, they still say that! Every time I do an interview with the English press, one of their questions is, ‘How do you feel knowing that everyone thinks you’re a s*** actress?’”

Charity is a simple way to help people in need. It’s great if you do it not for PR but because you are truly compassionate and generous.
A group of world-famous designers were asked to help raise money for a charity organisation that deals with homeless families and women who lost everything but want to get back on their feet.
The task was easy and creative – just right for a designer – to decorate small papier-mâché houses which would later be sold on auction.
Among those who found time and desire to help were Oscar de la Renta, Issak Mizrahi, Diane von Furstenberg, Vera Wang, Donna Karan, Victoria and David Beckham, Justin Timberlake and lots of other celebrities who had hardly ever dealt with designing but wanted to do something useful for people who suffer.
The houses that we got in the result were pretty little things – colorful and spirited – which might go under a Christmas tree.
Vera Wang’s house was the most delicate and exquisite. The designer decorated it with lace, crystals, and flowers. Very nice to look at!
Isaac Mizrahi made the cutest house. He used a lot of pink and sparkle.
Oscar de la Renta’s house is simple but sophisiticated just like his clothes – nothing looks out of place.

Donna Karan is a designer who can easily incorporate classic and retro into a trendy and modern piece. She always does this, no matter what she works at: clothes or accessories.
Her handbags for fall and winter are fresh and very special with those little details that make each item in her collections look unique.
There is a lot of reptile leather – a trend that has been with us for a few seasons already.
The range mostly consists of small bags: chic evening clutches, handbags for daywear and office wear. No huge totes are included, perhaps the designer decided to leave those for a summer season.

Following Ralph Lauren Donna Karan has also announced she created bags one could wear during lifetime. And again the reason for doing that is purely economic – financial crisis that makes people buy things they can wear for long.
The designer said:
I’m most passionate about my new collection of handbags. They are ‘forever bags’, handcrafted in Italy. Each bag feels good in the hand and instantly becomes a part of your look and lifestyle. When you are a city woman, like I am, you live out of your bag, which is why it has always been so important for me to get it right.”
It is good that some designers do want to meet ordinary people’s need in such a difficult time.
Not only accessories have been made under the influence of the economic downturn, but clothing too.
Donna Karan’s Autumn/Winter 2009-2010collection includes pieces that ‘can be relied upon in times of hardship and can be worn to any event.’
The 60-year-old designer explained:
Fall 2009 was all about strength and security – giving a woman timeless, sensual, tailored clothes that empower her and make her feel good.
When times are uncertain, you want clothes you can count on, clothes that will be here for a while, clothes that create a day-into-evening system with flexibility and sophistication.
I asked myself what women really love and live in and gave it a modern spin.”
I’d like all the designers to be so thoughtful.

Why I single out the necklace from other jewelry trends? Because it’s so multifaceted.
Statement jewelry is back in the game.
Stones, metals, beads, massive chains and crystals are of great value for Autumn/Winter 2009-2010.
Super massive and extravagant necklaces were in John Galliano, Marc Jacobs, Thakoon and Lanvin collection.
Plenty of metals and geometrical shapes were presented in their jewelry lines. John Galliano’s Fall 2009 collection was inspired by the Tsar Russian mood.
The pendants are round and very heavy.

Despite the fact plus size people are often desperate to find beautiful clothes their interests are again infringed!
Fashion options for bigger persons are getting fewer by the day due to economic recession. Well-known brands including Ellen Tracy and Ann Taylor have eliminated or downsized production. Besides, department stores like Bloomingdale’s have decreased space for the collections or even dropped them.
It’s almost as if certain retailers have said, “I’ll worry about losing these customers later on,” says Andrew Jassin, managing director of retail consultancy Jassin-O’Rourke Group.
Taking into consideration the fact an average American woman weighs 164 pounds and is a size 14, there are so many customers abandoned by retailers. I think this will provoke great discontent in public soon.
However, somehow we can understand the producers. Plus-size lines are expensive to make—as much as 10% more than standard ranges – because they require additional materials and special fit models and patterns.
Besides, like many other consumers, the plus-size customers don’t buy much now. And sales of big sizes (generally 16 and over) fell 8% for the 12 months from the year-earlier period, when the drop was about 4% (the information was provided by trend tracker NPD Group Inc.).

On a cold winter day you can hardly do without a hat.
Some women prefer not to wear any headwear as it may ruin hair styling and spoil the whole image. However, the hat is not only a nice accessory, it is a practical piece of clothing that keeps you warm and your hair beautiful.
This article is for those who take care about their wellness and at the same time want to remain trendy even in the icy weather.
There is a great variety of hat styles that allows each lady to make her own choice.
The main hat trend of this season is a beret. I guess berets will always be in fashion. They can become narrower or wider but they are invariably popular among women all over the world.
Monochromatic classic, bright or solemn black berets are very fashionable this season. There is one peculiarity though – this winter berets often have different embellishments and brooches.
You can wear your favorite beret a bit sideways or far backwards in style of 1970s. See for beret designs in collections by Donna Karan, Chanel, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Narciso Rodriguez, Ralph Lauren, Stephen Jones and others.
Knitted hats have always been popular among teenagers and this season they can be worn by hot beauties as well. Knitted hats are warm and nice to wear in winter.
