    Oscar Red Carpet Afterthoughts – For The Men

    The battleground for the Oscars red carpet is empty and fashion bloggers (including myself) have burnt out on writing about Kate Winslet€™s YSL gown, Penelope Cruz€™s vintage Balmain dress (I am still getting over the fact that it is 60 years old), all the one-shouldered wonders (please reference Marisa Tomei€™s pleated Versace wonder) and the unfortunate incident with Jessica Biel€™s Prada dress. Even though we did enjoy these gowns as well as Sarah Jessica Parker€™s Wonder Woman-meets-fairy princess Dior Haute Couture gown, I still can€™t help but give props to the men. Any guy looks good in a tux €“ but when it€™s a leading man of Hollywood, we have to make a big deal about it. Brad Pitt and Daniel Craig donned Tom Ford while the evening€™s host Hugh Jackman (who made the Oscars worth watching again) wore Burberry. But it was Mickey Rourke who sartorially stood out from his peers. Dressed in a white Jean Paul Gaultier suit that matched his edgy personality (with no tie, mind you) and accessorized with a necklace of his late chihuahua, Loki, he made the red carpet fashion interesting for all the guys out there.

    New York Fashion Week Fills The Shows' Front Rows With Plenty ...

    Among the fashion elite who are actually granted access to the highly-exclusive Bryant Park tents are some of Hollywood's most noted celebrities -- after all, what kind of star would you be if you weren't dressed by the best of the best in designer royalty? Some famous fashionistas like Kellie Pickler and Jessica Stroup couldn't stay away from the glamour of the runway and were spotted warming up the front row seats of several designers' shows, including Badgley Mischka, Pamella Roland, and Lela Rose; meanwhile, other more low-key VIPs saved their appearances for just their favorite style mavens, like Mickey Rourke for Domenico Vacca. While New York Fashion Week is ultimately about the clothing, many stylish starlets' presences in the front row are inevitably photographed even more frequently than the designer threads themselves (oh, the price of fame), but most celeb attendees made sure they shared the spotlight and showed their support by arriving in their favorite pieces from the headlining label, like Brittany Snow in her gorgeous beaded Diane von Furstenberg dress. I know being famous must be exhausting, but I really can't think of anything I wouldn't give to switch places with one of those front-row ticket holders just for a day (preferably Herve Leger day, please), even if I had to be Paris Hilton. Check out the slideshow for more pictures of stylish superstars, both in the audience and backstage at some of New York Fashion Week's hottest shows!
