In similar style to, but in vastly different capacities, our goal in following NYFW was much like those of the top celebrity stylists: Oscar red carpet looks. And after such roaring success last year we have thoughtfully made some selections for our top lady nominees (we've also included Anne Hathaway here, she deserve a chance to redeem herself this year)!
And...because we are constantly looking for ways to feel included we took the liberty of presenting our very own picks. Of course, Lauren will be attending as Leo's date and Caitlin will be on the arm of Joaquin.
It's that time of year again star-gazers, so get your red carpets steam cleaned because they are about to be the home of the greatest (and worst) of celebrity fashions! But, before scrutinizing and arguing over what we loved or loathed, let's focus on the best fashions presented on the silver screen this year. We had the opportunity to covet styles from all different decades, including the future, and some were pretty bangin'!
The envelope please...
Best Dressed Leading Male Character
Best Dressed Supporting Male Character(s)
Best Dressed Lead Female Character
Best Dressed Supporting Female Character
Best Future Fashions in a Feature Film
Best (cough, worst) Perm in a Feature Film
We're not gonna pretend we watched the BAFTAs last night...we are not that cultured. But we will freely admit to judging the fashions!
Best Dressed Lady: I mean, duh. Lupita Nyong’o in Christian Dior. Watch out J-Law, she's stealing the spotlight and now the Dior.
Best Dressed Man: Bradley Cooper. His young and dashing Robin Williams smile is lovely!
Best Matching Couple Outfit: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. They're hot and they most certainly know it.
Pillars of the Attractiveness: Eddie Redmayne and Douglas Booth, four years later & four years hotter.
Dark and Sheer Done Wrong: Lea Seydoux in Mui Mui and Maggie Gyllenhaal in Lanvin.
Dark and Sheer Done Right: Helen Mirren.
Listen up, there is a new EW cover and it's starring Jason Dohring's arms! Kristen Bell is also there.
One month.
BONUS! EW also shared this sassy clip from the movie. Watch below.
Happy Saturday.
Happy Valentines Day!
You're already single, so why not embrace your man repelling ability by revisiting one of our all time favourite posts??

In an odd turn of events we recently squabbled over who was more of a “Liz Lemon”; yes, slow day at the office. We, however, don’t construe our decidedly Lemon-like tendencies to be a bad thing as we personally admire her life choices; in particular her ability to repel the opposite sex. As two single twenty-somethings, we have also been repelling men for a few years now, but Liz possesses such finesse and aptitude. Dare we even fathom putting ourselves in the same category?! She is repelling the best of them: Matt Damon, James Franco and presumably James Marsden to come.
So if you don’t inherently repel men, allow us to provide this here helpful guide courtesy of Elizabeth Miervaldis Lemon:
(Please proceed with caution, as the following is not for the faint of heart.)
Appearance
It is always wise to wear sweatpants, pull your hair back with a chip clip and use a Velcro wallet when going out on the town. At the office, wear a dickey, no full size shirt necessary. When it comes to underwear, exclusively buy your bras on eBay, by the bag load. Also a bathing suit can make a great underwear substitute.
Eating
Don’t be afraid to express a deep love of off-brand bodega cheese curls. Food is always your priority. To be safe, make it known that you will always choose a sandwich over potential suitors. In order to show off your feminine qualities “shot gun” entire pizzas. When a guy offers to buy you a drink at a bar, always ask for mozzarella sticks instead. It is recommended that you do most of your eating in bed.
Activities
Join the WNBA’s Timeless Torches, and may we suggest maybe wearing those pants out in public while doing sunset arms frequently, just a thought. If you find yourself with some free time consider using your brain power to formulate new words to describe bodily functions. This can be done by combing existing words (i.e. Snarting) or using your name as a play on words (i.e. Lizzing). You can also begin conducting ground breaking social experiments; such as dressing up as an elderly woman, while carrying a fowl smelling gym bag and acting crazy in public, all in the name of testing human boundaries. If these activities have left you overly tired, pee in the shower to save time. NOTE: Engaging in all of the above activities will be equally effective when human repelling.
Fitness
Never ever exercise.
NOTE: For general health concerns and well-being this is perhaps better left unexamined.
Romance
Avoid sex or make it fast and only on Saturdays. On the off chance you find yourself having sex, leave your blazer on. Liz recommends Rico’s blazer shop if you need to pick one up. If all else fails in this department, find an attractive distant cousin. We are not saying it is ok to date your cousin, but if you happen to unknowingly end up on a date with a distant relative, take the night off; the man repelling should naturally take care of itself.
Demeanor
This is possibly the most important aspect of man repelling. If you manage to follow all the above guidelines and men still find you appealing, your only escape lies in your demeanor. Try to talk about and compare all men to your fake boyfriend, Astronaut Mike Dexter. Insult future mates' current jobs and discredit any of their future goals. When traveling on your love interest’s airplane, create a passenger mutiny (unfortunately, this only works when dating a pilot, but one should always be prepared). Be overly aware of and awkward when dealing with diversity, especially in those you’re dating. This works best in cases where you mistake little people for children and/or when continuing to date someone solely to prove you’re not a racist. Lastly, never ever let an opportunity to mock pass you by. Degrade his self esteem at every available turn.
Repel away.
In utter admiration,

1. Trailer for what can only be a hilarious venture: B.J. Novac has released a trailer for his new book One More Thing. It's pretty great. So apparently celebrities now make trailers for their books...?!? Whatever, we're not complaining. I mean, I know it sounds like we are complaining, but we definitely aren't...
2. The Lena Dunham book is happening: Life imitating art or the other way around? Hmmm? We dunno what to think anymore. Anyway, her real life book is coming eventually and here are some thoughts on that. Check out this cool/weird interview Lena did with the great Judy Bloom.
3. Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue: If books are too many words for you, take a gander at the annual Hollywood issue of Vanity Fair. These are some HOT (equally talented!) people, guys. Check out the sneak peak here.
