Did you watch the SAG Awards or any the pre-shows? I used to watch the red carpet and wish I was there, now I’m there and long to watch from bmw in my pj’s. Wine optional. The grass is always greener. Anyway, what I love about the SAG’s is that they’re a little less formal than the Golden Globes or the Oscar’s and everyone is much more relaxed. For some reason it’s always really hot in LA on that day. A random Sunday in January… go figure.
Because it was so warm (85 degrees) I wanted to be comfortable so I strayed from my typical black red carpet uniform. Of course I forgot my wrap and the AC was blasting backstage but I survived.
I survived another Golden Globe Awards! This was actually my fifth or sixth time (I’ve lost count) working the show and every year is so different. I wanted to share some behind the scenes pictures I took. The day is kind of a blur… lots of steaming, running around, finalizing jewelry and accessories and some fun too. Around 2 pm we make our way to the red carpet and are on a very chaotic lockdown for hours as the stars arrive and do interviews. But I won’t bore you with all that, let’s just get to the pics.
We like to wear black on the red carpet to blend in. I’ve acquired sooo many LBD’s. This one is a new fav from No Rest for Bridget. Don’t mind the fitbit on my right wrist… oops!
Right before the carpet started the cast of Entourage sort of appeared to film a scene for the movie. So fun to see!
Emily Blunt matched Louise Roe’s Grecian vibe… braids and all.
I just loved seeing Sienna back in the red carpet circut, she was one of my favorites of the night.
It’s funny to see look at the platform and see the different groupings of celebrities chatting. It’s kind of like a very glam cocktail party. Reese and Emma were more of my best dressed picks. Love a jumpsuit on the red carpet!
Kate Hudson’s gown was too pretty not to photograph.
Apologies for my lack of posting this past week… my schedule has been jam-packed and I haven’t really stopped. Yesterday was the VMA’s and today is the Emmy’s so as you can imagine that has kept me very busy. I decided to share my awards season survival kit with you today. As a stylist there are certain things I need on the red carpet like a fun LBD (you want to blend in but not be boring), comfortable heels and of course sunscreen.
This years Emmys marked my first award show working as a stylist, not a producer and I loved every second of it. Here’s a recap of my weekend starting with our prep on Saturday.
Now for my best dressed picks… I was a little underwhelmed by the fashion but did see a few standouts.
Rose Byrne (in Calvin Klein) was my hands down fav, blush and cropped? Two trends I’m dying over right now. I loved that my top picks all looked effortless but managed to have some fun with their look.
I won’t even get into the worst but there seemed to be a nod to Jessica McClintock’s 90’s prom dresses. I know the 90’s are back but I just can’t.
This week on Style School I’m dishing out my favorite Khloe Kardashian looks. Fun fact: our Birthdays are both next week and I am 3 days older than she is! Do you have a fav Khloe look?!
I'm Ashley, a professional stylist, wife, and (almost) mom, sharing my love of fashion, beauty, home decor, travel, and life in sunny Southern California!
