At the premiere of Think Like A Man last week (which—side note—we can’t wait to see), the gorgeous Jennifer Hudson went for a bold look with bright blue accessories. She teamed her Gucci look with an oversized Isharya stone necklace and matching Giuseppe Zanotti suede bow pumps.

We’re really loving this look—we know it’s seen some controversy, but the contrast of the blue with the yellow in the skirt, not to mention the bright orange nails, is just so fun and youthful.

Steal her bold necklace style with this similar Isharya necklace, $270 at endless.com.

Even with the music industry losing one of the greatest voices of all time with the passing of Whitney Houston, the 54th annual Grammy Awards had to go on. The red carpet seemed smaller this year with more sophisticated dresses than in years gone by. Here are our favorites:

Sparkle Plenty

Adele, in Giorgio Armani, Carrie Underwood, in Gomez-Gracia and Kelly Rowland in Alberta Ferretti all sparkled in elegantly beaded dresses that flattered their shape and showed off their sex appeal in a demure and alluring way. We love the way Carrie’s dress, with the backless detail, and Kelly’s dress with the draping and the lower back surprised us.

Taylor Swift, in Zuhair Murad, looked like solid gold in her gilded emrboidered gown. She said this was of of her favorite red carpet gowns to wear and next to her gown she wore to the 2010 Grammys we agree.

Sleek LBDs

Gwyneth Paltrow and Rihanna, in a dress designed together with Giorgio Armani sizzled on the red carpet in curve hugging LBDs.

Reese Withersspoon, in Miu Miu, Sophia Bush, in a Olcay Gulsen dress and Chelsea Handler in Elizabeth James took to the red carpet for the Los Angles premiere of the new Movie This Means War in style. We love Reese’s sultry dress and her tousled bed head hair.

How fabulous does Katherine Heigl look across the pond at the One For the Money Paris premiere in a custom made dress by Maria Lucia Hohan? We know she looks great! We love the body conscious weaving on the front and the sexy back.

This year as we looked to identify the trends on the red carpet for the 2012 SAG Awards we realized there was only one true trend: Dazzling Gowns. The dresses, many with similar details, were all special and unique making red carpet arrivals a real treat. Below are the dresses that caught our attention.

Emma Stone, in Alexander McQueen, Michelle Williams, in Valentino, and Sofia Vergara in Marchesa showed off glamorous dresses with beautiful detailing up top.

Melissa McCarthy, in Badgley Mischka, Emily Blunt, in Oscar de la Renta, and Jayma Mays in Reem Acra stunned on the red carpet in expertly draped gowns with elegant trains.
