The beautiful Sui He photographed by Mario Testino. I love the 50s/60s vibe of the fashions in this shoot... so classic and feminine.

I know that both of these events took place a few weeks ago, and I don't usually cover these "smaller" red carpet occasions, but there were so many unique and beautiful ensembles that I just had to share them. 2014 is turning out to be a fabulous year for designer fashion, with fewer predictable designs, and many classic, yet surprising, red carpet looks.
Jessica Chastain, in Nina Ricci, took my personal "best dressed" prize away from the Critics Choice Awards. She is always superb, and here the color, style, and details of her gown suit her perfectly. (As does her hair... I gave it the "best hair" award over at my FlyGirl blog.)
Other favorites were Camila Alves in Paule Ka, also sporting a dress with beautiful color and shape, and Aisha Tyler in Tadashi Soji, wearing a classic black lace gown.
Two favorite fashion goddess took on similar looks with simple understated gowns that put their beautiful, unfussy hair in the spotlight: Cate Blanchett in Lanvin, and Amy Adams in Roland Mouret.
Cate Blanchett and Amy Adams were also stunning at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the former looking statuesque in Givenchy and the latter evoking a 1930s screen siren in Antonio Berardi.
Black and gold seems to be a popular combination in 2014, with lots of heavily decorated gowns that look like they emerged from ancient Persia, especially on blonde beauties Katrina Bowden, in Badgley Mischka, and Malin Akerman in Naeem Kahn.
One of the best looks of the night was Lupita Nyong'o, looking fresh and lovely in a turquoise gown by Gucci. Hannah Simone continued the flowery neckline trend in an elegant Marchesa gown.

Isn't it awful that cold feet make for a cold imagination,
and that a pair of woollen socks induce good thoughts!
- Franz Grillparzer
Until then, I'll wear "woollen socks."

I took a lot of outfit photos in the chill of December. This month has been even frostier, so I haven't braved the outdoors to shoot my Sunday outfits. But my hair is red again, so some shots need to happen before it fades away... ;)
How is the winter treating you?
