The Marchesa fall 2011 gown she wore last night was what happens when Elvira and Cruella de Vil (The Glenn Close version, of course) have a love child and then that love child hid inside of Helena Bonham Carter’s closet for several years before emerging and going into hiding again in Alexander McQueen’s trashbin.

And if you haven’t caught on by now, I’m talking about the Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1 premiere.
Nikki, Ashley and Kristen were all rocking the long gowns as they should have since it was their big night.
Kristen Stewart always proves that she cleans up well on big red carpets. That or her stylist really cleans her up.
Kristen was rocking a J. Mendel Spring 2012 iris and black sequin belted column dress. J. Mendel happens to be one of Kristen’s favorite designers so it’s not shocking she opted for that dress.

The couple got engaged in May and got married on Saturday, September 24th, 2011 at the Frank Cafaretta Vineyard in Napa Valley, California. Molly Sims now Mrs. Stuber looked gorgeous in a white lace customized Marchesa gown.
The former model wowed in the "Isadora" dress from Marchesa's spring 2012 collection. The gown featured a drop-waist lace sheathe over a lace skirt and appliquéd lace sleeves.
Lace, lace, lace and it looked perfect. The top half of the dress was in the same vein as the Kate Middleton royal wedding gown. Sims dress was gathered at the knees for a slight mermaid effect. The backless gown featured a sheer lace-trimmed overlay at the neckline and the effect was ultra chic and ultra slimming.

The show took place at the luxe Palm Court of the Plaza Hotel. To no surprise, the collection was filled with beautiful gowns that you will be seeing on the red carpet this upcoming award show season.
“It’s all got a watery, magical feel,” said Chapman when speaking about the show, which seemed to be inspired by mermaids.
Viewing the collection, you will see two of my faves: feathers and sheer chiffon! There was a lot of flappery fringe looks that was also seen on the runway. The first look was modeled by Karen Elson and it was a flappery style dress with beaded fringe.

I haven’t been able to get much work done this morning because I’ve been busy gawking over the dress Blake was sporting.
Blake was wearing an embroidered Marchesa red silk organza illusion cap sleeve dress with tulle ruffle skirt and she looked flawless. She matched her dress with some amazing Brian Atwood ‘Helena’ heels.
The dress actually looks really similar to the dress Emma Watson wore to the premiere of Harry Potter. Both ladies looked great in that style!
Blake is probably the only person that can manage to look hotter than the model walking the runway in the same dress.
Marchesa should have just hired her to walk the runway.

Best Dressed:
Natalie Portman is a red carpet darling. Her growing belly looked radiant in this white Azzaro strapless gown that she paired with $2 million dollars worth of Tiffany's jewelry. She looked precious. Just like a goddess! It was the perfect dress to pick up her Best Actress award in.
Mila Kunis turned heads in her red/orange strapless Alexander McQueen dress. It was fun and flirty and so different from the green Vera Wang dress she wore to the Globes. The big change shows that she’s versatile and willing to take risks on the carpet.
Julianna Margulies was on fire both on the off the red carpet. She looked great in her red Yves Saint Laurent dress. Julianna picked up best actress in a TV drama tonight. Girl is on fire!
2011 SAG AWARDS RED CARPET PHOTOS
Other notable best dressed ladies: Jennifer Lawrence looked flawless in this pink Oscar de la Renta gown from the pre fall 2011 collection. The classic updo and simple jewelry really complimented the dress. Hillary Swank in a nude Versace chiffon one shouldered dress.
Whites and nudes were a big trend on the carpet, along with reds/oranges and pinks. Lea Michele wore a studded Oscar de la Renta dress with Sergio Rossi shoes, Tiffany jewels and a Daniel Swarovski bag. She played it safe, and looked gracious.
Amy Adams looked fresh in Herve L. Leroux, Casadei shoes, Kimberly McDonald jewels and a VBH bag. The simplicity of the dress was very flattering when paired with her simple updo. It was a great change from the usual greens and blues we see Amy wearing.
Eva Longoria opted for a Hobeika nude gown with plunging neckline and drape accent. Eva always looks great on the carpet because she knows how to dress for her petite body. The plunging neckline gave her extra inches.
Kim Kardashian has become a fashion icon, but this Marchesa dress wasn't doing anything for her. She looked like she's going to prom--not a major award show.
Did Winona Ryder not get the memo about the red carpet? She looks like a runaway bride in this puffy Alberta Ferretti dress. Fashion fail!
Helena Bonham Carter always plays by her own rules. She never follows fashion trends and unfortunately lands on every Bad Dressed list--including today. Sorry Helena, love you, but this Marc Jacobs dress is so unflattering.
Christina Hendricks forgot to get dressed for the SAG awards, she left her house in this robe. Wait, what? It's a dress?! Go figure. Why Christina opted for this L'Wren Scott
Other notable fashion disasters: Julien Bowen from Modern Family was wearing a black pants suit by Malandrino and Neil Lane jewels—she looked way too casual. She looked like she was going to a club—not a red carpet.
