It was a busy week in the fashion department. There were events taking place all over the globe: Vegas, New York, London, LA, and we're busy with Hollywood style events this week.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate all the amazing fashion that we got to see thanks to our favorite celebs.

Lindsay Lohan attended her first red carpet event in 9 months and she actually cleaned up well. She was spotted stealing shopping earlier in the day. But the person that stole the show was Michele Monahan in her green Roksanda Ilincic Spring 2010 dress. She looked simply amazing!

EXCLUSIVE DIET TIPS

New mom Penelope Cruz looked absolutely radiant in her sparkling red L'wren Scott dress at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards.

Penelope just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy one month ago and she's already in tiptop shape. Sure, she most likely had to wear some Spanx with the dress, but she showed off her curves in just the right places.

Skipping the Oscars wasn't an option an her sexy hubby, Javier Bardem, is nominated for Best Actor for 'Biutiful.'

The first time parents seemed to be happy to be out, holding hands and chatting with friends.

Need to shed a couple of pounds before a special occasion? Dr. Stork tells Hollyscoop how you can lose 5 pounds in 2 weeks:

"I try not to focus on numbers per se. But I do have some great tips from my new book The Lean Belly Prescription: Drink a glass of ice water before every meal and you may eat 20% fewer calories at that meal. And anytime you have the urge for a soda or any type of "sugar" water, drink a glass of ice water with a freshly squeezed lemon, lime, or orange or unsweetened iced tea. Teach your body how to crave things that are good for it."
2011 Oscars Trend Alert: Stars Seeing Red and Purple!
If you were watching the live coverage of the 2011 Oscars, you noticed one big trend from the red carpet. A lot of Hollywood’s leading ladies were sporting gowns in the red and plum family.

  • The adorable and pregnant Natalie Portman, who arrived late to the red carpet wore a plum colored Rodarte gown for her big night. The dress will look fabulous as she goes on stage to accept her award for Best Actress.


  • Scarlett Johansson is one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood so it’s almost impossible for her to look bad on a red carpet, but the dress she wore to the Oscars was a big FAIL! She rocked a one-of-a-kind dress by Dolce & Gabbana and thankfully she is so beautiful that most people spend their time staring at her face rather than that hideous dress she was wearing.


  • Penelope Cruz made her first public red carpet appearance after giving birth to her son Leo. A glowing Cruz wore a fiery-toned, sequined L'Wren Scott gown and showed the world that she’s already lost her baby weight.
Trends From the 2010 Golden Globe Awards Red Carpet
The Golden Globes red carpet featured a mix of old Hollywood glamour and laid-back style. Many celebrities steered away from trying to look too flashy and showed a casual side with messy updos and light makeup. We did, however, notice quite a few red lips accentuated on the carpet.

Keeping with that dichotomy, neutral-toned gowns were quite popular today, as well as gorgeous jewel tones. Most stars steered away from the LBD, and took a chance on a splash of color.

The green gowns worn by our fashion-forward actresses were the ones that stood out the best (i.e. actresses like Sigourney Weaver, Amy Adams, and Gabourey Sidibe all rocked different shades of green).

We loved how daring Cameron Diaz was in a gorgeous red Alexander McQueen. Sandra Bullock meanwhile kept things girly in her sheer and iridescent purple Bottega Veneta.

Perhaps the most popular trend on the carpet was the off-the-shoulder look, donned by Anna Kendrick, Drew Barrymore, and Jennifer Aniston.

The dresses did much of the talking, and jewelry was more understated with stars opting for one or two statement pieces. The predominant jewelry seemed to be platinum and diamonds. We noticed a lot of color mixed in, like tanzanite and emerald rather than standard diamond pieces.

Expect next weekend's SAG Awards to continue the trend of classic and simple gowns, with splashes of color. But this is all gearing up to what the stars will be wearing on the biggest night of the year--the Academy Awards!

2010 Golden Globes: Best and Worst Dressed List!
The theme seemed to be black and white with a hint of peach on the red carpet at the 2010 Golden Globes held on Sunday in Los Angeles.

Stars like Penelope Cruz, Jennifer Aniston and Mariah Carey all opted for the always elegant black, while Kate Hudson and Heidi Klum tried to work the white.

Christina Aguilera, Nicole Kidman and Maggie Gyllenhaal were in the peachy mood cause that's the color they chose on this gloomy day.

The beautiful ladies didn't let the rainy weather in Los Angeles put a damper on their moods.

The down-to-earth celebs held their own umbrellas while the divas had someone hold it for them!

Let's take a look at some of our favorite dresses along with some of the disasters of the night.



The Good:

Lea Michelle : Wow! She might be a newcomer but Lea looked like a pro on the red carpet. The Glee star wore a beautiful black Oscar de la Renta gown and its safe to say that she will make it on every best dressed list this year.

Cameron Diaz: Red is not always the easiest color to pull off but Cameron did it with style and grace. The actress rocked a satin Alexander McQueen gown with bold shoulders and we loved every moment of it! The only thing is that the dress would have not looked good on anyone else but Cameron because she has an amazing body and is very tall.

Penelope Cruz: She might have been a bit on the orange side with her tan but Penelope always looks elegant when she walks on the red carpet. Cruz wore a Giorgio Armani Privé black lace gown and showed us what Hollywood glam is all about.

Drew Barrymore: It was Drew's big night as she won on stage and on the red carpet. She was wearing a Atelier Versace nude gown with shoulder and hip crystal embellishments. Some didn't like her dress but she got Hollyscoop's stamp of approval.



The Bad:

Sandra Bullock: We really didn't want Sandra to be on this list but we can't help it. The deep purple Bottega Veneta chiffon gown she wore did not look great at all. The dress was pretty overall and if it was in a different material it might have been much better. Hopefully, she will impress us at the Oscars.

Heidi Klum: She never makes any bad dressed list....that is until now. Heidi showed off her body in a pale gray Roberto Cavalli fishtail gown but there seemed to be too much going on with her dress.

Kate Hudson: Marchesa rarely disappoints us on the red carpet because all her designs are usually brilliant but there was something about Kate Hudson's dress that we were not digging! The structured look was not so flattering on the actress. Her hair and makeup looked great though!

Julia Roberts: We get the term simple black but Julia's dress was just too simple! Aside from Julia's hair she did not look her best at the Golden Globes on Sunday. Her vintage YSL black dress looked like it was something that was just sitting in her closet for years and she put it on last minute and left her hotel room without giving it a second look.

Penelope Cruz rarely disappoints us with her choice in wardrobe. And last night was no exception.

She showed up to the Berlin premiere of the film Los Abrazos Rotos (Broken Embraces) donning a custom made forest green gown by Parisian couturier Hervé L. Leroux.

The floor length gown featured a one-shoulder look and a body-hugging shape that complimented Penelope’s sexy curves.

Speaking of, Penelope is the latest celeb to come under the spotlight of a possible pregnancy, since she’s been wearing looser-fitting ensembles, but her rep has denied the claims.

Famous for his ability to enhance women’s bodies with his unforgettable bandage dresses, the Parisian Couturier created his new company under the name of Herve L. Leroux in 2000. To view the collections, visit www.hervelleroux.com.
