This year's Golden Globes Award show had a Versailles moment. Strolling onto the red carpet were celebrities clad in good old fashion glamour. Yes, of course, there were some misses....as usual..but there were quite a few hits which is why my girls love this event so much. Lady Gaga in Valentino Couture The star of the night for us was Lady Gaga's "Marie Antoinette" powder blue gown. It was grandiose in style, sumptuous in cut, borderline historic costume which blew everything else out of the water. And at the end of the day....it was the way my girls like to see red carpet fashion. Let's not forget..these are actors receiving international press awards for being the best in the world of film and television art. The performers could and should have as much fun, passion and drama in the way they put themselves together as they do on the screen. Frankly...Lady Gaga delivered in a gown from Valentino Couture!!! I was so captivated by this dress, I did an extensive se...

This year's edition of the Golden Globes red carpet was as unique as the awards ceremony itself. It marked a change in culture where women stood up and spoke out against the culture of sexual harassment in the workplace. A group of 300 leading celebrities came together to launch the #TimesUp Movement--an initiative that hopes to put an end to the decades of sexual harassment, pay disparity and discrimination in both the entertainment industry as well as women everywhere who are struggling with the same issues. To mark their solidarity, many stars arrived on the red carpet, clad in black. While the gowns they wore weren't what I would call, extraordinary fashion, it was very elegant, making quite an impact on the red carpet. In fact, this was an excellent exercise in the power of black and the versatility of the basic black dress! Zoe Kravitz wore a simple black velvet sheath from the house of Saint Laurent. This dress is a staple in my dolls' wardrobe because it serves as a...

It's that time of year again....the first red carpet event of the year! The Golden Globes! My girls love these types of galas. It gives them an opportunity to rival, if not upstage the actresses present on the red carpet! In covering these events over past few years, I've noticed how the fashions at these events have become increasingly simple in line. Emphasis is placed more on the fabric rather than the cut which presents a particular challenge for choosing what to make. There were a few gowns I passed on simply because I couldn't find a similar fabric or print. Still, I was able to make a few which I share with you here. This dress, designed by Armani especially for Janelle Monae, really compliments the actress' personality. I was immediately attracted to it for its fancifulness and originality. But I wasn't sure if it was a dress I'd want after making it. However, Iman, pictured here in the dolly version, insisted on having this dress. The bodice is a simple...

Red carpet season is back beginning with the Golden Globes Awards. I still have issues with these formal events due to what I see as a lack of good old fashion glamour. For me, the dresses are lacking in interesting cut, beautiful (Italian) fabrics, and accessories. I have nothing against simplicity, so long as it's brilliant and flawless in execution. However, most of what I see today is rather.. ordinary. In part, it's the fault of the designers. Inasmuch as I am not seeing a lot of interesting dresses on the couture runways, I shouldn't expect much on anyone's red carpet. I put the rest of the blame on the stylists, who don't seem to have much in their repertoire when it comes to dressing women to look like queens. My girls were rather bored, but I refused to give them the option of coming home empty handed. So we compromised. I allowed them to improvise. The most intriguing look for all of...
