Nevermind why she even attended the SAG Awards and if she's an actual actress (P.S. I thought she did a great job of acting upset with her naked W Magazine cover on Kim & Kourtney Take New York last night. Come on Kimmie), Kim Kardashian rarely misses the chance to appear on a red carpet and last night, she hit the Screen Actor's Guild Awards in a Marchesa gown.



She tweeted that she felt like a "princess" and in case you were wondering, she did indeed step out sans extensions and fake lashes. The result? She sure looked gorgeous without her beauty "enhancers" but the gown just didn't wow me. For princess, I prefer Olivia Wilde's black and gold Marchesa gown from the Golden Globes: full-on sparkly tulle and excess.



I don't think Kim Kardashian embodies that look here; this dress is more of a purple Grecian goddess moment. And that look is equally feminine, gorgeous and sexy. The cut-outs are classy and tasteful and the embroidery is super elegant and modern.



It's admittedly not my favorite Kim or Marchesa moment, but her beauty is non-debatable. What do you guys think of this look? Glam or Sham?

And what exercises does she do for that toned back?

Swoon! Nicole Richie knows how to pick them and by 'them,' I mean men AND wedding gowns. While we totally support her wedding to Good Charlotte rockstar, Joel Madden on December 11th (he seems like the sweetest guy), her Marchesa wedding gown is what really got our attention.



Just look at it: white lace turtleneck with open neckline and a cloud of white tulle fit for a princess. I would so love to get married in that...to a rich rockstar...who adores me...but I digress.



The stunningly beautiful Marchesa wedding dress was inspired by Princess Grace Kelly's iconic gown (below), Nicole tells People Magazine, whom she sold the photos to in exchange for the mag's hefty donation to one of her fave charities.

The bride wore three Marchesa gowns in total, including one made from hand-crafted silk organza and tulle petals. Dying to see more pictures!



More details:



-They were married at Lionel Richie's house in a tent designed like a French Garden.

-Reverend Run officiated.

-Their children were a part of the ceremony. Harlow, 2, was the flower girl and Sparrow, 15 months-old, was the ring-bearer.



Pick up People Magazine this week for more photos and details from the ceremony. Congrats to Nicole on her lovely wedding gown...and oh yeah, love!

Marchesa is truly wowing me with their Spring 2010 line! The latest starlet to rock the coveted collection on the red carpet is Miley Cyrus, who wore one of their flirty, feminine dresses to last night's American Music Awards. Darling!



I don't know what I love most: the soft florals or elegant beading. It's all so pretty and posh, and age-appropriate for a Disney star (which Miley, cough, struggles with sometimes).

The bow, which Marchesa is known for, and its accompanying train is the part that throws me off. Since it's so large, it almost swallows Miley's lithe frame, making her look like an early Christmas present, don't you agree?

What do you think of her dress? Glam or Sham?



And isn't Marchesa great?



Check out her performance of "Forgiveness & Love" here.

If you are a fan of The Glamazon page on Facebook, you know that I'm obsessed with lace this season (like Leighton Meester's Marchesa jumpsuit) and Rihanna nailed the look in a long Elie Saab gown at the American Music Awards red carpet.



Her body is amazing (looks like she gained a bit more weight...applause) and the dress is sultry and romantic thanks to the gorgeous material. Rih's head full of crimson curls is where, in my opinion, the looks goes wrong. The red-on-red isn't necessarily chic and the curls so remind me of Whitney Houston in the '90s.

What do you think of Rihanna's look? GLAM OR SHAM?



Also, check out her opening performance below. Werk, Rih Rih!

While the rest of us were shopping, doing laundry or hitting the beach yesterday, Hollywood luminaries were gathering for "Unmasking" a black-tie gala at The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).





The event took place Saturday night and several Glamazons were in attendance from Kim Kardashian to Nicole Richie. Christina Aguillera performed hits "Imagine," "You Lost Me," "Beautiful," and "Fighter," backed by a 20-piece orchestra. Would've killed to here her performance!



The gowns, admittedly, didn't impress me as much...except for Kim Kardashian's that is.



Nicole Richie chose a Marchesa tulle white and black gown with embroidery and ribbon detail. While I am obsessed with Marchesa's glorious ballerina-ready dresses, Nicole Richie's gown isn't the most flattering on her.

Christina Aguillera wore a silk chiffon champagne gown by Atelier Versace with a plunging neckline and gold bead detailing around the waist.

She wore red lips and platinum blonde curls. I am soo not a fan. The hair, boobage and champagne hue makes the dress look tacky to me.

Kim Kardashian stole the show in a one-shoulder, peach gown with draped gatherings along the waist. She wore her hair in an elegant updo. Stunning!

What do you think about these looks? Who was GLAM and who was a SHAM?

You can count on Katy Perry to make a memorable statement on the white carpet. For the 2010 VMAs, the singer chose a daring Marchesa sheer dress with a white ruffle skirt.



The sheer top is super sexy, yet the elegant embroidery makes the look a tad more sophisticated. Katy Perry keeps it fun though with a head full of black curls with purple and blue highlights. Bold!

And as for her nails, she paid a special tribute to fiance Russell Brand.

I just love her funky, experimental approach to fashion and beauty! What's your take? Does she look fun and cool, or a hot tacky mess?



Decide: is she Glam or Sham?

Heidi Klum delivered yet another perfect look on the red carpet last night because, well, she's clearly not human.



She complimented her flawless makeup with a short Marchesa dress that showed off her gorgeous gams. Is the same woman that gave birth to a slew of children? Because I don't see evidence of labor on her body...anywhere. See, clearly not human.

I love the red jeweled necklace she wore to energize the dress (clearly, this was a trend of the night as Eva Longoria-Parker went for colored jewels also).



The pumps also add the perfect, final touch.



What do you think of her look, Glamazons? Glam or Sham?

Yass, Kim! No matter your opinion of Kim Kardashian (i.e...why is she calling herself a designer these days?), you have to give her credit for her glamazing red carpet moments.



Sidenote: did anyone notice last night on Keeping Up with the Kardashians that she gets her makeup done everyday? If that's the case, then she gets a lot of practice getting dolled up.



Anyway, her latest red carpet takeover involved a beautiful, Grecian-inspired gown by Marchesa and Lorraine Schwartz jewels including a pinky ring she tweeted before the show (below).

She is just stunning! I live for this look, not only for the gown but for the phenomenal makeup. She glowed and her lashes were totally giving a wow factor. Werk, Kim!

What'd you think of her red carpet look? Glam or Sham?

The glitz! The glamour! The fashions!

We live for the Oscars red carpet each season as it's way more entertaining than the actual show. Sure, winning an Oscar for your screenplay or performance is the ultimate goal (my favorite moments were Kathyrn Bigelow's historic win for Best Director and Geoffrey Fletcher's win for Best Adapted Screenplay! Yay for amazingness behind-the-scenes).

But at the Glamazons, we feel Oscars should be handed out for the best fashions as well. Choosing the right dress, makeup, accessories and hair is no easy feat, and excellence in this regard should never go unnoticed. These five beauties below wowed us on the red carpet and totally deserve recognition. Check out our picks!

I swear Sandra Bullock knew she would win the award for Best Actress. How else can one explain this stunning, gold gown by Marchesa? The shimmery, form-fitting number hugged her curves (who knew she had such a great body?!) in the most beautiful, elegant way possible. Bullock topped it off with a sassy bright lip.

Gabourey Sidibe's brilliant blue Marchesa dress flattered her figure, and made her look more feminine than ever.

Rachel McAdams channeled Spring in an ethereal, watercolor print gown by Elie Saab. Stunning!

Finally, ruffles done right! Elizabeth Banks was a radiant beauty in a Versace gown in Fall's color du jour, gray. The soft, cascading ruffles offered a feminine touch to her structured bodice. A crystal headband and diamond studs provided the perfect accent.

Nicole Richie supported her man who DJ'ed the event, Joel Madden, in a metallic Reem Acra gown with an open back and dramatic train. I'm all for a fresh look on the Red Carpet, and Richie delivered just that by channeling 70's Hollywood glamour.

Who else should have made our list? Do you agree with our top picks for best-dressed? Discuss.

Gabourey Sidibe finally got it right...with the help of Marchesa.



The look was romantic and feminine, complimented by soft, cascading waves, full lashes and diamond drop earrings. The dress was a stunning, brilliant blue which complimented Gabourey's dark skin perfectly. It was adorned with sparkling floral embellishments on the bust and waistline. Beautiful!



The silhouette is what I loved the most. The empire waist was beyond flattering on Gabourey (finally!!!). It created a waistline and balanced out her top-heavy torso. The strapless top elongated her neck while the draped sleeves camouflaged the meatiest part of her arms. Just brilliant!



I'm thrilled that several fashion designers stepped up for the chance to dress the unconventional beauty---and even happier that Marchesa was chosen. Gabourey's look at the Oscars proved that everyone can look ravishing with the right silhouette!



What do you think of Gabourey's beautiful blue Marchesa gown? GLAM or a SHAM?
