Pre-Pre-Show Predictions

Today is an all-day style watch in anticipation for tonight's red carpet, which seems like it's going to be a tough one to predict.

There were a lot of surprising color choices at the Golden Globes (other than Sofia Vergara in a body-con, lace-up number in her usual - red). We saw a lot of pink - Claire Danes and Emma Stone both in minimalist column dresses from Calvin Klein Collection. Natalie Portman threw off insiders, who had expected a design by Dior or Rodarte, and chose a pink Viktor & Rolf gown with beautiful red sequined rose embellishment, drawing attention to her baby bump. Green was another favorite, donned by Angelina Jolie and Mila Kunis. Other trends included unexpected embellishments (Julianne Moore's dress had a built-in necklace), and the back as the favorite erogenous zone (see Anne Hathaway's daring Armani Privé gown).

The red carpet at the SAG Awards was reflective of the Spring 2011 runway. Bold prints (see Hailee Steinfeld in Prada) and 70's inspired looks (Mila Kunis in Alexander McQueen and Tina Fey in Oscar de la Renta) were favorited. Both January Jones (in Carolina Hererra) and Nicole Kidman (in Nina Ricci) chose floor-skimming gowns from the Pre-Fall 2011 runway.

With so many daring choices made recently, I am looking forward to seeing what Hollywood has in store for this evening. While there is expected buzz over what Best Actress Favorite Natalie Portman will choose to show off her very pregnant physique, I am especially excited to see those fresh young newcomers, who have been recognized for their excellent style. Hailee Steinfeld and Jennifer Lawrence both wowed fashion critics with their sophisticated and elegant style choices at recent events. With the recent haute couture shows, these ladies could definitely be pulling out the big guns.
