Red Carpet Fashion: People's Choice Awards 2010

It's started! I'm already lusting after dresses, craving shoes and ready to test out the newest nail polish trends (yes polish trends!) I also saw some trends being sported including a key hair look on a few lovely ladies. Plus one gorgeous fashion newbie who is usually a fav of mine took a big risk that's getting different responses. So here is my list of top fashion choices from this year's People's Choice awards!

Diane Kruger. I mean can the girl do no wrong? 2009 was certainly her fashion year - she looked smashing at every red carpet and press junket and here she does it again! Herve Leger, strappy sandals, and bangles (one's from H&M - score!) round out an awesome look (take note - this is one right way to do pleating) Plus her hair - TDF (to die for) I'm loving this whole look.

Ginnifer Goodwin is so damn cute I can't stand it. With her Twiggy inspired hair, cream skin and green eyes she literally looks like a doll. This navy and white Christian Lacroix dress is perfect for her and right on trend with the Black and White thing going on now. Plus how can you not love that amazingly gorgeous shoulder corsage? Ummm.. I'll take one please Thanks!

Carrie Underwood usually a fan of the long sparkles went pretty out of the box with this Christian Cota dress. The nude color with black netting is very avant-garde. Rocking her trademark blond locks and long lashes how can she not be country music's sweetheart? Plus the bride-to-be is sporting a big ol rock on her left hand and who wouldn't be glowing with excitement about that? :)

While this hasn't been fashion critics favorite pick I had to add it in. If it's Short, Sparkly and Funky - you know I'm going to love it. Jessica Alba's tan from her Mexico holiday vacation makes the silver stand out even more in her structured Antonio Berardi mini. The origami shape is very cool and I am dying over those Burberry platforms. Decked out in jewelry all from Cartier (including this awesome onyx panther ring) I had to pick her as a personal fav. Plus she's got the same medium length soft locks that we've seen on Carrie and Diane Kruger. Makes me want to chop my hair right now!

My one back-and-forth choice of the night - Katie Cassidy. Usually I am crazy over her fashion choices (a la here & here) and she is definitely a fashion risk taker which I can soooo appreciate. Her Talbot Runhof cocktail dress I think could have done without foiled accent fringe. I love the color and the draping at the waist. Plus her messy braid is totally something I would rock. But I'm still not sure about the overall look.. I'm still just... "Meh"

So all in all the trends spotted: cute medium length curls, black and white/monocromatic, galactic looks (both dresses and clutches), straight shiny hair (pulled to one side on Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman), plus a little vintage glam (for those looks check out Ginnifer Goodwin, Sandra Bullock, & Oliva Wilde). What are your thoughts?!?
