You may recognize this dress from a Wish List Wednesday post a couple of weeks ago. Simply put, I could not resist the urge to buy it! I refer to this little number as my, “Lady Gaga” dress. The shoulder pads remind me of her. I bought it at full price, but I am happy to report that it is now 50% off and available in every size. In fact, the entire Nasty Gal website is 50% off, but every item is final sale. Do your due dilignce and read the reviews and refer to the size charts. The material is not stretchy at all so I recommend sizing up.

I already got my money’s worth with this dress as I wore it during New York Fashion week, and again for Valentine’s Day dinner last night in SF. It has a very thin lining so I suggest wearing black undergarments including stockings underneath it. I do not want to compete with the floral embroidery so I wear it solo and add a little funk with earrings and shoes. What do you think, on a scale of 1-10 how Gaga do I look?

Three words: gaga for Gaga. This lady in white STUNNED in a Brandon Maxwell jumpsuit…but the word “jumpsuit” does not do it justice. This beautiful flowing ensemble featured a strapless sweetheart neckline tapering into palazzoo legs. The draping details on the bodice added just enough dimension while the sweeping train created drama. If there was one item I could afford to splurge on, it would be this.

Rachel McAdams was regal in emerald. Simply put, this August Getty Atelier gown is my kind of dress! When you are working with a solid color, the fine details become more important than ever. The dainty halter neck, princess seams, and thigh high slit were the perfect finishing touches. Although I would have chosen gold, the long delicate earrings and matching strappy sandals were spot on.

Alicia Vikander rocked the red carpet in a yellow Louis Vuitton gown, fit for royalty. The princess silhouette is the most forgiving on a small frame and that is just what she has got! The fitted bodice accented her slim waitlist, while the rest flared out into an asymmetrical full skirt. The silver beading created just enough pop and the coordinating silver shoes tied together the entire look.

There is no denying it – J. Lo is my style sister. I love her fashion sense and I covet her wardrobe. Over the weekend she stunned the crowd in a yellow cape gown by Giambattista Valli Couture. From every angle, she was glowing. Aside from the fabulous cape detail, the draped fabric accented her killer curves, while the thigh high slit added a steamy touch. She got it right pairing glitter pumps and a glitzy clutch with this gown.

There is something so blissful about Kate Hudson! Maybe it is the pretty blonde hair. Regardless, I admire that she opted for exposed midrif this year. You know what they say, “if you got it, flaunt it.” Two-piece matching separates remain hot commodities, and this gown by Michael Kors was simply stunning. The blush color is perfect for her complexion, while the metallic sheen made it red carpet worthy. Does anyone else adore the matching choker as much as  I do!?!

Black never fails, and Lady Gaga wore it well Sunday night in LA. Her classic off-the-shoulder gown designed by Atelier Versace, featured a flattering sweetheart neckline, fitted bodice and tapered floor length skirt. Between the black velvet and the primped goldie locks, she looks like she stepped right out of her 1940’s glam room…and I’m gaga over it!
