Celebrities

It's time to unveil our choices for the "best-dressed" list at the 68th Annual Tony awards, which took place live Sunday, June 8th at Radio City Music Hall in New York City! Being one of the glitziest and glamorous nights for those on Broadway, The Tony awards are always a thrill in fashion to see what celebrities nominated, present, and just attend as guests, decide to wear to this spectacular show!

Even though she was just presenting, our favorite Shameless starlet, Emmy Rossum, took home the award for best dressed in our eyes! She was purely elegant and divine as she shined in a silver Ralph Lauren Collection gown with a ribbed bodice and flowing satin skirt. Her old Hollywood waves and red lip tied together the look into pure red carpet perfection!

From totally "Frozen" to on fire in a radiant reddish fitted Zac Posen trumpet dress, Idina Menzel set new fashion strides for herself! She looked absolutely amazing in this gown and her makeup was flawless, as well. Even though she didn't take home the Tony for Best Actress in a Musical, she did give a spectacular performance on stage and looked beautiful doing so!

Last, but most certainly not least, our final best dressed of the evening came out on top with not only looking gorgeous, but for bringing home the Tony award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Musical award for ‘Hedwig and the Angry Inch’. That's right, Lena Hall shocked the red carpet in a dramatic midnight-blue Zac Posen gown along with edgy accessories, straight bangs, and bright red lips! Way to kill it Lena, this was definitely your night!

Nia is one badass girl! The Nevada native is a fourth-degree black belt in Tae Kwan Do. Nia To E!, "I started training when I was 8, and I started teaching when I was 12, and I was a certified instructor when I was 15. It's a good workout. It's a full body workout. I never get more tired working out than when I'm at the studio." And, she sure looks good doing it!

In the final round of the competition, Nia even related it back to learning Tae Kwan Do. When asked about the issue of sexual assault on campus, she explained the importance of self defense for women. She said, "More awareness [of the issue] is very important so that women can learn to protect themselves...I learned from a young age that you need to be confident and able to defend yourself, and I think that's something that we should really start to implement for a lot of women." We couldn't agree more!

 2. She's a Disney Princess!

Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood both set fire to the 2014 CMT Awards' stage in their black, sparkly dresses! They soulfully belted the song about being girlfriends, singing perfectly together,“Bout to tear it up in New Orleans.” While Carrie looked fantastic as usual, Miranda was just gorgeous in a gold studded, long sleeved Jovani dress style 6528. If you had any doubt that she was the ultimate country music queen, she definitely proved it last night in this dynamic mini. Paired with amazing black leather gladiator sandals and gold chandelier earrings, Miranda looked AMAZING from head to toe at the 2014 Country Music Awards Last Night.  Get Miranda Lambert's CMT Dress here:

Miranda was spectacular from the moment she walked onto the red carpet in a stunning Nude short sleeve jeweled cocktail dress with plunge neckline. She was rightfully awarded the 2014 Female Video of the year for "Automatic." If they had a best dressed country starlet award, we think Miranda would have been way ahead of the competition as she looked fabulous from her hair to her glowing skin the entire evening!

It looks like not all dream prom dates consist of hot hunk musicians and A-list actors! One Connecticut girl had her eyes on taking someone else to her prom, and he was definitely more than the average person to appear randomly on Page Six...it's Vice President Joe Biden!

Vice President Joe Biden

It turns out Talia Masseli, a student at Newington High School in Newington, Connecticut had a deep desire to have Biden escort her to her Senior Prom. She made this decision back in the Fall and took priority in writing him as soon as possible explaining, “I am inviting you so far in advance because I’m sure many 17-year-old girls send you prom invitations, and I had to beat them to it.” She later cheerily announced, “I could only tolerate a high school dance if I was to be escorted by the most delightful man in America.” Way to go Talia! If this was an election for sweetest and most confident promposal, you would have our votes!

 Even though the Vice President attending Talia's prom would have been the ultimate fairytale, Biden had a scheduling conflict that did not permit him to be in Connecticut at the same time as the event. However, Talia did receive a sweet ending! Talia got a package at her home before the prom with a beautiful corsage made of red, white, and blue flowers along with a note from Joe Biden on official White House stationary. He expressed,  “I am flattered, but my schedule will not permit me to be in Connecticut on Friday evening, but I hope you will accept this corsage and enjoy your prom as much as I did mine.” Wow, what a guy!

Talia With Her Special Corsage

Even though Talia didn't get to go to prom with her dream guy, she still has a wonderful story and an extra special gift! Vice President Biden invited her to visit Washington, DC this summer, which she plans to do!

Celebrity promposals are all the rage lately, and yet another celeb delivers on an night to remember for one lucky prom-goer: Shaun White! High schooler Carly Monzo came up with such a creative idea to ask the Olympian and pro snowboarder to prom: by using a staple in the snowboarding industry, a GoPro! Carly smartly even named her promposal after the camera, with the name GoProm. So cute!

You can watch an overview of the promposal here:

http://youtu.be/_Wzajq741yE

We were so happy to hear that Shaun White took time out if his busy schedule to surprise Carly at her prom! ABC had the scoop, and this is what they said:

"A month ago, the Montgomery County senior at Mount Saint Joseph Academy in Flourtown, and her friends got creative.

Monzo posted a video proposal online but got no response from the busy pro snowboarder, skateboarder and musician until Friday night.

A couple hours into her prom at Whitemarsh Valley Country Club, there was a special performance.

"Curtains drop and the band just starts jamming and I was like, 'Oh my goodness," said Monzo.

White appeared on stage in his tux and with his band, Bad Things. They performed three songs and invited Monzo on stage.

"To be honest with you if there wasn't pictures or video evidence, I would have thought I had a dream," she said.

The Olympian lit up social media, snapping photos with dozens of students before revealing how he made a secret trip from Austria just to surprise Monzo.

"It was really about being there with my friends, my whole entire grade got to share this moment with me and it was so awesome," she said."

We were so excited to see today's Google Doodle! Why? Because it's in celebration of Audrey Hepburn's 85th birthday! Not only that, but the doodle was done in pink and black - our favorite color combination at Rissy Roo's!

If you don't know much about Audrey Hepburn, she's an actress and fashion icon from Hollywood's Golden Age, famous for her lead role in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's. She was born on May 4, 1929 in Brussels, but moved to London in 1948 to continue training as a ballet dancer.

She is considered one of the most beautiful women ever, and rose to be a star in the film world after acting in several British movies. She has awards to prove it, too! She won an Oscar, Golden Globe, and a BAFTA for her role in the film Roman Holiday. Other than Breakfast at Tiffany's, she also starred in the classic My Fair Lady.

She was known for being a philanthropist, too! Later in her life, she devoted herself to working with UNICEF on various good causes. She died at age 63 in Switzerland after a battle with cancer.

Audrey was a stunning and admirable person in every aspect of her life, from her film roles, to being a fashion icon, to the work she did in her personal life as a philanthropist and how strong she stayed through her battle with cancer. Happy birthday, Audrey!
