I know I'm not the only one swooning over Diane Kruger's Helmut Lang leather pants. Both her and Olivia Palermo are always spotted in the most polished ensembles.

Red Carpet Report: MIU MIU Presents Lucrecia Martel's "Muta" Event
Hollywood goes Mad for Miu Miu....
The Fashion Starlets turned out last night for a chic Hollywood Soiree thrown by Miu Miu to present Lucrecia Martel's "Muta" film (you have to watch it, it's crazy!!) and also showcase the label's Fall 2011 and Noir Sunglasses Collections.
Camilla Belle in Miu Miu Fall 2011. With a name and face like Camilla Belle, how could you not attend this party and wear this French Inspired, Modern Vintage Collection! She looked like the hostess of the entire event in this Ivory Crepe shirt dress with beautiful beaded floral detail.
Diane Kruger in Fall 2011. Diane is also an actress that was meant to wear this collection. (I'm starting to think these gals just showed up so they could be the first to wear these dresses!!). Love how covered this dress is, but still gives off a sexy, chic vibe. She opted to keep the heels simple (as opposed to the more edgy runway look) which I think was a smart choice for this event.
Miu Miu Fall 2011 Campaign Covergirl Hailee Steinfeld. Although I could not find the dress Hailee was wearing, we can only assume that it is Miu Miu as she is their Fall 2011 Spokesmodel!! Clearly she was tired of wearing the Fall 2011 outfits she modeled for the campaign, so they most likely custom made a dress inspired by the new Resort 2012 Collection. What amazing style this 14 year old already has! She never seems to get it wrong and clearly loves clothes.
Kate Mara in Miu Miu Fall 2011. Kate's ensemble is another look that is not direct from the runway. Both pieces were seen in some way in the Fall 2011 collection, but maybe these are samples that might be actually "in store" or she might just be special enough to have Miu Miu make her something custom!
China Chow, in all her DIVA glory, opted not to wear something from the Fall 2011 collection and instead stuck to her more aggressive, 80's inspired look from the Miu Miu Spring 2011 collection. A perfect way to honor the brand but stick to your aesthetic!She gets 10 "Nick Verreos" points!!
Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute Gala Red Carpet: Divas and A-Listers
Red Carpet Royalty.....
Diva Supreme! (and I'm not talking about Ms. Andre Leon Talley trying to upstage her from behind!!)

Monday Night was the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute Gala honoring the memory and amazing work of the late Alexander McQueen. This event happened only days after the House of Alexander McQueen ( headed by Sara Burton) was revealed as the designer of Katherine Middleton's Wedding Gown. So you can only imagine the excitement already swirling around in the air.
The Met Gala is always such a fun Red Carpet, because it is thought of as the "Academy Awards" of the Fashion World. The Oscars are often given the label of being safe and cookie cutter by the fashion world, so this is their opportunity to put their money where their mouth is and really give us something to talk about!!
But before we get to some of the more crazy ensembles, I thought I would highlight a few of the A-listers and Divas that really looked great on the RC.
Diane Kruger in Jason Wu: She looks breathtaking and very Old Hollywood Glamour. Love how she is workin' the slit and also the return of the strappy, more delicate heels.
Ginnifer Goodwin in Topshop Unique: Love the color and Ginnifer always knows how to highlight that fabulous face. She accented it well with that STUNNING Van Cleef and Arpels necklace.
Madonna in Stella McCartney: While I am not a huge fan of this dress, Madonna is certainly vibe-ing 1930's Hollywood Glam. We are seeing a return of the Silk Charmeuse Gowns lately and there is no doubt that Madonna is looking flawless in the close-up image above.
Ashley Olsen in Vintage Dior: Love the unexpected quality of the dress on Ashley. While she stayed within her color comfort zone (black and white), it is great to see her reveal a bit more skin and style her hair in an up-do. She looks like a Parisian Chanteuse!
Mary Kate Olsen in Vintage Givenchy: Those Olsen Girls love their vintage! Love the color and ethereal quality. The Emerald jewelry is a perfect accent.
Jennifer Lopez in Gucci Fall 2011: Love this Gucci Collection and love Jennifer in this 70's inspired chiffon halter dress. Not everyone can pull off that floral bolero, but Jennifer, always the Diva, makes it work effortlessly.
Kerry Washington in Escada: Who knew her body was this amazing?! Love the color, cut and fabrication of this gown. If only she could have stopped the hairstylist from making her look like a poodle! When in doubt, pull the hair back into a Chignon!!
Ashley Greene in Custom Donna Karan: Shoot me now, but I have actually never seen a Twilight Movie, so I wasn't completely familiar with Ashley. But she certainly made an impact on me with this gorgeous Custom Donna Karan Gown. Not a style you would normally see from DK, but she looked absolutely radiant in the dress.Up next....The Wacky, Crazy and "Oh No She Didn't!" of the Met Gala Red Carpet!...

Glamorous gowns were everywhere at fashion's version of the Oscars, the Met Gala. I can't pick my favorite--although, Giselle in a red Alexander McQueen is rather perfect.

SAG Awards Red Carpet
SAG GLAM...
The Forties: Sandra Bullock Takes a Risk on her Shoulder Padded and keyhole neckline Alexander McQueen gown at the 2010 SAG Awards (love it!)
In lieu of the fact that we didn't do a Red Carpet Fashion Wrap for the Screen Actors Guild/SAG Awards for the TV Guide network, I decided to give my "Nick's Take" on who I thought looked amazing and what I thought may not have worked 100%. To begin with, it seemed like there was a lot more risk taking--or people were more "adventuresome" here at the SAG Awards Red Carpet--when it came to choosing gowns and dresses.
White After Labor Day? Kate Hudson in a Pucci low back white jersey gown, 2010 SAG Awards Red Carpet
I remember when the Golden Globes used to be the award show where actresses would be a little more "risky" in their red carpet choices (Hello, remember Lara Flynn Boyle?) but now it seems that the SAG Awards is possibly the place for that. Here were some of my faves:
Diane Kruger:
When I saw Diane Kruger on the red carpet, she took my breath away: Simply gorgeous! From the top of her off-kilter chignon to the last 1/4" of the trailing hem, she was perfect. I was sure that it was a gown form a European design house, such as Chanel or Valentino and was happy to see that it was not.I n fact it was by American Jason Wu (of Michelle Obama fame) influenced from a dress in his Spring 2010 Collection (seen in the photo above). She took a risk wearing that color; many people can't pull off that shade of mustard (and I'm sure there were some people that weren't fans of it) but I think it worked on Kruger.
Marion Cotillard:
Marion Cotillard wore an Elie Saab fully beaded cocktail number from his Fall/Winter 2009 "All White" Couture Collection , estimated to cost around $20,000. I absolutely LOVED this collection but I am not sure if I would have picked this particular dress. The silhouette almost looked "padded" at the hips. Cotillard would go under the "risk taker" category in choosing this dress--at least in my "style book". The top section is sensually sublime, with it's draped cowl and asymmetrical padded shoulder-- it's the bottom half that "bugs".
Anna Paquin:
Anna Paquin was one of those who took a risk in wearing this to the SAG Awards. It's a custom Alexander McQueen dress inspired by his AMAZING Spring 2010 Reptilian-Dinosaur-Skeleton Collection. She knew that print would not make friends--especially with the "OMG what is she wearing? I just don't get it...I would NEVER wear that!" crowd (you know who you are, Khloe Kardashian of E! Fashion Police). But the fact that she "went there", well, I am giving her "Nick Verreos Points" for that.
Meryl Streep:
Alright, it's official: I love this woman! Meryl Streep looked like aristocracy straight out of "Hola!" Magazine in this printed silk gown by designer Nicolas Ghesquiere for Balenciaga Fall 2009 (I know that Salma Hayek wore it before but I think Meryl looked waaay better). The padded 1940's-like shoulders, the plunging neckline, the cinched waist: You Go Meryl! The finished up-do, black clutch, and open-toe heels were the Cherry on this "Couture Cake".
See you next time at the Grammy Awards!
