Here at Designer Desirables we will definitely be staying up way past our bedtime this Sunday to watch the 82nd Annual Awards! Obviously the Oscar’s are (supposedly) about the films (lalala) but for us its all about the red carpet dress fest! The high octane glamour, the fabulous jewels, the haute couture…. and of course the big fashion hits and misses of the evening! Take note Bjork.
First to some memorable Oscar’s fashion moments that dazzled to get us all in the red carpet, dress spotting mood…
Audrey Hepburn In Hubert de Givenchy
Audrey Hepburn led the trend for couture at the Oscars with her Hubert de Givenchy-designed gown. On this occasion she won the Oscar for Roman Holiday at the 26th Awards and looked utterly stunning, evoking her chic signature style with this etched floral sleeveless gown.
Elizabeth Taylor
For true Hollywood glamour look no further than Elizabeth Taylor who looked drop dead gorgeous at the 32nd Annual Awards. The simplicity of a draped neckline and waist were complemented with dazzling diamonds in this elegant look. Points too for the fabulous fur and statement clutch.
Goldie Hawn
At the dawn of a new decade, Goldie Hawn earned an Oscar nomination for Private Benjamin (love that film) and represented the bold fashion times in black satin with polka dots and voluminous ruffles. Note -ruffles are back this season so channel a bit of 80’s style this spring.
Gwyneth Paltrow
“I just wanted to look very sweet,” said Gwyneth Paltrow of her candy-pink Ralph Lauren dress, which she wore when she won the Oscar for her performance in Shakespeare in Love in 1999. Well that she did… although her gushing acceptance speech was a little too sweet and incredibly cringe worthy!!
Now to the nominees we will be watching and a few DD predictions!
Carey Mulligan commanded the red carpet at the Bafta’s in this striking Vionnet Dress and has seemingly come out of nowhere with her amazing performance in An Education and for her high fashion forward choices. I wonder what her pick will be for the Oscars perhaps the Best Actress nominee could pick this classic chanel gown!
Always a showstopper, Penélope Cruz stayed out of the rain at the 2010 Golden Globes (holding her own umbrella gasp!) and brought dramatic glamour in a black lace Giorgio Armani Prive gown. Ou prediction number two… Cruz could continue her award season loyalty to Armani Privé in this sculptural pink gown. Miss Cruz is up for Best Supporting Actress in her performance in Nine.
Sandra Bullock seen here in a shimmering purple Bottega Veneta ballgown looked simply beautiful at the 2010 Golden Globes with her chic up do and minimal accessories, ensuring a perfectly polished look. Bullock could up the ante on her fav look, simple elegance, with this J. Mendel intricate blue gown. Sandra is hoping to take home a little gold statue for Best Actress for her role in The Blind Side.
So there you are. There’s no other uber glam dress spectacle like it, and which ever dress you will be lusting after – it’s a complete cert that Designer Desirables will have sensational gown for your future red carpet inspired dress choice! So get clicking!

On a considerably less rainy night in LA this weekend, the fashionistas of Hollywood were dressed to the nines as Saturday saw the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Red carpet fashion was on dazzling display from all the A-lister beauties and as you probably all know we are rather keen on a spot of glamour in the Designer Desirable offices. As it’s now officially awards season we get to swoon over all the uber luxurious designer dresses, jaw dropping jewels and sexy accessories (George Clooney). So now to our favourite looks of the night….
Christina Applegate

Christina Applegate looked ethereal and very old Hollywood in a flowing Roberto Cavalli ice blue gown and sparkling jewel encrusted clutch. The recent onslaught of award festivities has had celebrities switching their over sized handbags for sleek clutches. From the Screen Actors Guild Awards to the fabulous Spring Couture shows, A-listers like Christina have been sporting an array of ultra glittery clutches embellished with crystals and gems. Take a peek at our new collection of sparkling clutches by Aftershock to exude Hollywood glam.
Mariah Carey
Ladies in red dresses were the order of the evening as brights took over the red carpet. Mariah Carey hitting all the right fashion high notes with this ravishing one-shouldered siren dress. From the old Hollywood hair, to the seamless balance of luxe jewellery & her slick date… Mariah is back on her glamour game. Love it!

Every red carpet needs some sparkle and this year we were not disappointed as the ladies dazzled in sequins and crystals! In white Marion Cotillard looked fashion-forward in her Elie Saab embellished cocktail dress with floral appliqué detail and a-mazing Chopard jewels.
