We’re right in the midst of awards season, and next up on the road to the Oscars was the 2012 Screen Actor’s Guild Awards. The Help scored big, taking home wins for Outstanding Performance by a Cast, Best Supporting Actress Octavia Spencer, and Best Actress Viola Davis.

Octavia continued to be an unofficial brand ambassador for Tadashi Shoji, following up her lavender Golden Globes gown with another creation from the Los Angeles-based fashion house. This time she opted for a grey dress that featured a beaded top, and draped skirt.

Viola literally glowed in a white and gold custom gown from Marchesa. The strapless silk chiffon dress featured gold embroidery across the waist and bust. To complete her look, her hair was styled in large, loose curls.

Solange Knowles is featured in the upcoming February 2012 issue of InStyle magazine. The singer-songwriter posed in a few retro styles and talked a bit about her sense of style and how excited she is about finally being able to spoil her new niece, Blue Ivy:

ON FINALLY BECOMING AN AUNT:
“This may sound awful, but I’m excited to let the baby do whatever it wants, in the same way my sister’s done with my son. I’m going to get her back for all those late-night popcorn sessions and just spoiling my child to no end!”

FASHION: STYLE AT THE 2012 GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS

Ruching was a hot trend of the night, showing up on dresses on several actresses including Glee’s Amber Riley, M:I 4 leading lady Paula Patton, and Golden Globe Best Supporting Actress winner Octavia Spencer.

Paula wore what was arguably the boldest hued dress of the night. Her canary yellow Monique Lhuillier gown was definitely turning heads left and right on the red carpet, and if her posing and primping were any indication, she loved every moment of it, as she should have.

The Help’s Octavia Spencer, whose Golden Globe win puts her that much closer to an Oscar, wore a lavender Tadashi Shoji gown that was tailored to perfection. Continue
