Oscar fashion 2010: Red carpet gut reactions

Sarah Jessica Parker: Her pastel yellow Chanel Couture frock makes her look like a giant shapeless sack…and she’s a size 0. This looks like the dress Carrie Bradshaw wore in Sex and the City’s fifth season finale—the Hampton’s wedding. Mind you, SJP was pregnant then. Just saying.

Amanda Seyfried: Stunning in a sparkly Armani Prive gown. [...]

Grammy fashion 2010: The badly dressed boys

Though we already dissected the diva’s fashion from last night’s Grammy Awards, the men deserve a little high-style lovin’ too. But some guys, such as the ones below, kind of looked like crap. Lets examine, shall we?

shiny
Shiny Suits

There’s something about an overtly shiny suit that just screams used car salesman. And multiple fellas including Keith Urban, Mike Dirnt and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino channeled their best Cadillac Man at the Grammy’s last night by wearing oil-slicked suits that only a Jersey Shore cast member could consider classy.

military

Military Jackets

Sporting a stylish military jacket, aging rocker Alice Cooper made himself look younger. French DJ and producer David Guetta, on the other hand, just made himself look crazy. Between his spray-on skinny jeans and wife Cathy’s, uh, everything, the two looked like they were headed to a Halloween party dressed as Miley Cyrus/fashion victims/ any two members of Young Hollywood. I thought the French were supposed to be chic?

beiber

Boy as Girl as Boy

I’ll admit it, I have a slight case of Beiber fever. Whenever “One Time” comes on the radio I want to open the sunroof, pretend I just got my drivers license and drive around looking for cute boys. I also want to grab Justin Beiber’s little 15 year-old face and beg him never to talk to Lindsay Lohan or put anything white and foreign up his nose. But though it looked tame, Beiber’s Grammy’s getup was just bad (blame the satin slacks and the not shaggy enough shaggy haircut ). He looked like Annie Hall without the hat, no??

Park City or bust: Style Section L.A. does Sundance 2010

sundance1Though a rather nasty case of ADD prevents me from sitting through most feature length films, I’ve arrived at the Sundance Film Festival nonetheless. All weekend long I’ll be bringing you the style scoop from screenings, soirees and, of course, gifting suites (it wouldn’t be a proper film fest without some swag, after all). Though I’ve only been here a couple hours, I’ve so far spotted a ludicrous amount of skinny jeans, plaid shirts and knit skull caps that lead me to believe I’m at Teddy’s on a Friday night and not actually Utah.

I’m excited to (hopefully) bring you more exciting slopeside street style as my visit progresses, as well as revisit rocker Joan Jett’s leather-clad look in honor of the festival premiere of her biopic, The Runaways. I’ll also be party-hopping with a professional party crasher who lies, schemes and schmoozes his way into the biggest events in the world using a sordid arsenal of very elaborate (yet shockingly simple) tricks. I can’t wait to share his secrets (while praying I don’t end up facing charges of trespassing).

So stay tuned, check The Spiel frequently and follow us on Twitter at @StyleSectionLA for the most entertaining Sundance coverage in the land. That is, unless you’re actually interested in the movies. Then you should probably tune in to someone far less fidgety.
