I was so excited to see the fabulous "The Insider"Co-Host Debbie Matenopoulos wearing our NIKOLAKIgown at last night's 2016 SAG Awards Red Carpet. Debbie's gown was a mint-green colored silk chiffon sequined bias-cut dress with a "Sari"-style drape and silk zibeline strapless bustier...

Nicole Kidman wore this pink, lilac and violet sequined gown from Gucci. Gucci's new designer Alessandro Michele (he's been Creative Director since last year) has been shaping up the fashion world with his "Geek Chic/70's" new look to the House of Gucci and I guess Kidman (or whoever styled her) thought she would look divine in one of his newest creations. I may have to disagree. This was a bit of a mess. While I give her points for going "out there" (as "out there" as one can go nowadays at these otherwise boring red carpet events), this style was a bit too Cirque du Soleil-meets-Valley of the Dolls...
Trompe L'oeil Gucci: While the gown may look like it is ruffled, it's a trompe l'oeil effect (an illusion) which is quite interesting in terms of the dress but I just don't think it translated well on the red carpet. Now, if she wore this in Capri with gold sandals while drinking a Campari and Soda, I would have probably thought she looked bellissima!
With that being said...What do you guys think of this on Nicole Kidman? Yay or Nay?
"Game of Thrones" actress Emilia Clarke wore this fuchsia pink silk satin ball gown from Christian Dior. I liked the color (I'm a big fan of bubblegum pink!) and I love me a good ball gown but...this was a little too Disney Princess-Meets-Prom-a-licious...

What do you guys think...Is this glamorous and elegant? Or Disney Prom-a-licious? Let me know!
"Homeland" actress Claire Danes wore this gown by Stella McCartney at the 2016 SAG Awards. blue color-blocked gown had a plunging neckline, simple and clean silhouette and slight train...
Simple Elegance: We all know that Claire is a fan of this clean and simple red carpet look; she's not a fussy gal when it comes to dressing up. It definitely works for her. And the proportions were just right for her figure. Thumbs up for Claire!
Julianne Moore in Givenchy Haute Couture Spring 2016
Actress Julianne Moore wore a citron green sequined gown from Givenchy Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2016 collection. The collection was just shown this past week at the Paris Haute Couture shows and marked the return of the Haute Couture arm of the famed French fashion house of Givenchy. I have to be blunt and honest about this: I was not a fan. Somehow--in this gown--Julianne Moore looked both frumpy and dumpy. I get that this sequined gown is Couture and hand made and costs about $50,000 if not more; and I even get the whole 70's vibe but...
It just didn't fit her right and the style wasn't flattering, especially the too wide gathered bust/bandeau section. On a good note, I liked the color.
What did you guys think? Is this Chic? Or Frumpy and Dumpy?
Rachel McAdams in Elie Saab Haute Couture Spring 2015
Rachel McAdams looked STUNNING in a handmade gown from Elie Saab Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2015 collection. The ball gown featured sequined lace applique that was hand-sewn onto a mini polka dotted mesh base. The style had a high neckline and extended shoulder-sleeves. Notice also the length: on the model (right) the gown had about 3-4 inches of the polka dotted organza fabric at the bottom, yet on McAdams, it was hemmed up as you can see that the sequined lace ends at the bottom of the gown. It was obviously altered from the sample worn on the runway by the 5' 11" tall model to fit the length of Rachel McAdams who is a more "real woman" 5' 4".
Actress Rooney Mara wore this black silk tulle gown from Valentino at tonight's 2016 SAG Awards. The gown was simple, with a gathered bust, waistband and softly flared skirt. It was a very Fashion Minimalist look, which to be honest, was slightly on the boring side. To add to the minimalist "theme", she barely accessorized the look and kept her hair to a simple yet severe slicked-back bun. She looked like a Russian ballerina...

"Room" actress Brie Larson wore this baby blue silk crepe draped gown from Atelier Versace. This gown was just featured in the most recent Atelier Versace Spring/Summer 2016 collection during last week's Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week shows. The collection was inspired by Athletics, the Rio Olympic Games and Sportif themes. The dress has a side front slit and diagonal draping across the bust and hips, and is embellished with sequined "knot" accents.

Larson said that this was the first dress she tried on and it was done and done, as they say.
"The Danish Girl" actress Alicia Vikander looked stunning in this shimmery multicolored paillette gown from Louis Vuitton. the gown featured a high neck, long sleeves and side slit. The metallic paillettes (sequins) were in white, black, gold, silver and copper sewn in a patchwork motif...
I loved the patchwork "print" look of this gown...reminiscent of a Gustav Klimpt painting!
Loved the stacked peep toe pumps with gold piping as well!
