 Emmys
2000 Fashion - Red Rules!
by
Shaune Bagwell
From
crimson to claret, red was the color of choice at the
52nd Annual Emmy Awards.
Everyone from newlywed Jennifer Aniston to the inimitable
Stockard Channing to comedian Molly Shannon wrapped themselves
in sumptuous ruby.
Other notable stars that selected red were: Calista Flockhart
in a high-necked, ruffled sheath; Debra Messing in Vera
Wang; and Jean Smart in a look reminiscent of old Hollywood.
My personal favorite, however, was the breathtakingly
beautiful Rebecca Romjin-Stamos. Rebecca, however, is
one of those people who could have shown up in red burlap
and still stolen the show. |

her (Gina Davis') dress was so sheer that we got
an anatomy lesson! |

Losers... The exciting thing about awards shows are
the soaring high points and the inevitable low points
of the evening. Everyone looks forward to the seeing the
fashion disasters that wind up on Mr. Blackwell's list
and the memorable classics that are imitated throughout
the coming year. Let's start with this years' lows: Sarah
Jessica Parker in a pink, feathered Easter egg concoction.
Sarah herself was radiant, why would such a beautiful,
slender girl wear something that hid her figure so? And
then there's the matter of the feathers... never mind.

Gina Davis at first glance was fabulous. As I looked a
little closer, I realized her dress was a bit sheer. So
sheer, in fact, that we got an anatomy lesson! I often
wonder what actresses were thinking when they attempt
the nearly naked look. Didn't they check the mirror? Did
their stylist not tell them everything was showing? Perhaps
the obvious reason is to revive their careers and everyone
will write about them on the Internet...who knows?! |

Fashion Winners! In the showstopper-jawdropper
category, Heather Locklear
and Halle Berry were
the hands down winners. Heather selected a white pin-pleated
Richard Tyler gown with a train, while Halle Berry looked
every inch a princess in a black tulle ball gown. After
reviewing the fashions at this year's Emmys, I am more
excited than ever to see the fashions at next year's Oscars.
I can hardly wait for spring!
Who knows what we may see...I know what we won't be seeing...red.

| UPDATE:
March 2000 Shaune's Picks for the Oscars
Winners !! |
| |
 It's
that time of year again...Time to settle in front of the tube and
see who walks away with the top prizes of the entertainment industry.
Who will bring home Oscar gold this year? My guess is it will be a
bed of roses...
I know you've been waiting, so .... here are the rest of my predictions:
Best Actor The prize in my opinion,
will go to Kevin Spacey for his excellent portrayal of suburban depression
in American Beauty. Denzel Washington will be close behind.
My warm fuzzy favorite that I secretly wish could win? Richard Farnsworth!
Best Actress I thought Annette
Bening's performance was amazing, but my pick for this prize is Hillary
Swank. Swank's showing was an absolutely unforgettable once in a lifetime
performance... Oh shoot...I wish there could be two winners on this
one.
Best Supporting Actor This race
is a bit harder to call, but I think it will come down to Michael
Caine and Haley Joel Osmet. The award will most likely go to Osmet,
for the manner of brilliance that he carried an entire film, I mean,
he's a little kid!!!
Best Supporting Actress Although
I liked Chloe Sevigny, it's kind of hard to beat Angelina Jolie. Let's
face it, she is the girl of the moment, and while that shouldn't matter....I
think it does.
Best Picture American Beauty.
Need I say more?
Best Original Screenplay American
Beauty once again... Being John Malkovich and The Sixth
Sense were cool, but they don't threaten Beauty.
Best Adapted Screenplay Either
Cider House Rules or Election in my opinion, and I'm going
with Election, just because I'm sick of everyone else!
Well, we will have to wait until Sunday to see how my picks do...but
I'd love to hear your picks! You can e-mail them to me at shaunesb@aol.com.
See ya! |

| The
Year 2000 Golden Globe Awards |
| Los Angeles
actress Shaune Bagwell with the fashion scoop... |
The Golden
Globes are second only to the Oscars for celebrities dressing
to the nines. A colossal event indeed, this year's stars had to make
their way down the red carpet in some rather challenging weather conditions.
Taking all of this in, what amazed me was how great everyone's hair
managed to look to spite the rain. My favorite this year was the inimitable
Julia Roberts in her elegant, simple, red V-neck dress. With the complete
lack of any jewelry and straight hair, Julia's sense of style was
unparalleled.
Gwyneth
Paltrow was one of the few female attendees in  pants,
and she pulled it off brilliantly. The other pants-wearing celeb,
Lara Flynn Boyle, looked like she could have tried a little harder.
Eternal knockout Elizabeth Hurley was no exception this year in a
gown that showed just enough skin to still be classy, and I can't
fail to mention stunning Minnie Driver in a burgundy number that was
cut down to South America. Angelina
Jolie was beautiful in her silver ensemble, but was it my imagination,
or was her hair blue?
Courtney
Love donned a frock that looked like something that my cat sharpened
his claws on, and it was a complete act of God that everything managed
to stay covered. I was relieved to see that Calista Flockhart looked
gorgeous and healthy, but Best Actress Hilary Swank appeared to need
a few Big Macs! This year's event was no disappointment, and overall
everyone looked as though they pulled out all the stops. This leaves
us all to wonder what's in store for us at the Oscars...

| Special
Story: How to be Glamorous and Gorgeous on a budget in LA |
 Shopping
for quality clothes at bargain prices can be challenging, so I will
attempt to point you in the right direction based on my experiences.
One can find some really great suits and dresses for the office at
 Bebe.
The styles are conservative but sexy, think Ally McBeal. Prices are
competitive, In the 100 dollar range, and most styles are available
in petite sizes.
My pick for cute sweaters
and blouses
to pair with jeans and casual pants is Express.
Most tops are in 25-40 dollar range, and the fabrics stand the test
of time. When it comes to party
clothes, an outfit for a night out on the town, I like Rampage.
These dresses are clingy and sexy, while the pants have the cut of
more expensive designer styles. Most selections are in the 100 dollar
range, but look much more costly. Right here on the web, check out
Yoox.com. Talk about dynamite clothes for almost every occasion! Prices
won't break the bank, your order can be shipped overnight for an extra
charge, and they usually have most items in stock. Also a favorite
of mine is jcrew.com.
Casual styles for weekend wear, prices are excellent, and they too
have next day delivery. |
| "One
of this season's big hits on the runway were (Tom Ford of Gucci's)
flare-leg pants." |
|
| "So,
Shaune, what's the scoop on the latest fashions from the leading designers?!" |
 Tom
Ford, designer for Gucci,
has done it again! One of this season's big hits on the runway were
his  flare-leg
pants. Flattering on almost every woman, the flare-leg allows
the fabric to fall down over the shoe. A woman can wear a mid-heel
or a higher platform sandal, and have the illusion of being taller.
Always wonderful Dolce
and Gabbana has sheer romantic blouses that are worth the splurge
with warm weather on its' way. Velasco Andersson has beautiful movie
star satin
dresses this season. In bright colors and shiny fabrics, stars
and celebs are sure to be wrapped in these yummy confections at the
Oscars. Also keep your eyes open for DKNY's
one-shouldered beige suede mini dress
(yum!), capable of going from the office to out on the town for a
romantic dinner, this is my personal favorite. |
