Rules of Style – Jennifer Lopez

Chosen as People’s Most Beautiful Woman, Jennifer Lopez is on fire.  With her presence on American Idol and her music career picking back up, she seems to have it all.

One thing that is certain is that at the age of 41, she looks amazing and seems to have the entertainment world by the tail. With fabulous sky-high heels, dazzling short dresses that reveal her shapely dancer legs and an appreciation for her body, Jennifer Lopez certainly has some rules of style worth paying attention to.

And her style doesn’t stop there.  Take a tour through her California home as photographed in the pages of Veranda magazine, and if you’d like to read her most recent interview, as shared in Redbook click here.

Jennifer Lopez At Home

Interior designer Michelle Workman helped to create a California home for Jennifer Lopez that whispers simple elegance in Veranda magazine. With blue-grey tones and a balance of feminine and masculine touches, this spacious home has a very calming appeal. (To read the entire article, click here.)

Oscar Glamour

Watching the fashion that waltzes down the red carpet during the Academy Awards is truly sometimes more entertaining than the show itself, although this year the opening had me chuckling – any dance number with Patrick Neil Harris – I can’t help but to sit down and watch.  Now that we are able to see a bit more as to what it all entails to appear as glamorous as the actresses do, there is a bit more appreciation from myself as a viewer.

As I watched in anticipation the 2010 Oscar red carpet, wondering what Rachel Zoe and other stylists had decided to put on display, only a handful really knocked my socks off, but to be fair, there weren’t too many fashion faux pas.

Jennifer Lopez in Armani Prive was absolutely stunning. She seemed relaxed and comfortable in a fabulous gown.

You either hated Sarah Jessica Parker’s Chanel Couture gown or you loved it, and I was absolutely fawning over it.  The back of the gown is what grabbed my attention in particular.  Not just anyone who could pull it off, you would have to be a mini-me, which she is.  Lovely SJP.

SJP – Chanel Couture

While I don’t feel this photo does Sandra Bullock in Marchesa the justice it deserves, I felt this was one of her personal best Oscar dresses. The bodice is what caught my eye immediately and the intricate design is beautiful.  

I only needed to get a glimpse of Demi Moore in Versace Atelier, and I was smitten.  The beautiful soft nude pink tone just shimmered.  The hair should have probably been swept off the face, but overall, one of my favorites.

While this dress may not have been meant for the Oscars, I would argue that it still brings that touch of class that is necessary, and Nicole pulled it off well.   In a frock by Reem Acra, it seems to put her new brunette look on display which only goes to complement the dress. 

Vera Farmiga in Marchesa makes an immediate statement.  The color of the night seemed to be cranberry or gold, and she fits in perfectly.

Zoe Saldana in Givenchy looked breath-taking. 

Meryl Streep in a white gown by Chris March looks simply stunning. Bon Appétit!  (I couldn’t help myself.)

And I must end it with the most dapper gentleman of the night for more reasons than just his style.  A delicious (as Oprah would say)Tom Ford, wearing of course Tom Ford.

So, I’m curious to know your thoughts.  What were your hits and misses of the evening, and if you include SJP on the miss list, you won’t hurt my feelings.

Hopefully you enjoyed the entire evening and were able to get a good night’s sleep in for the week ahead.  Bonsoir!
