The 2011 Espy Awards (short for Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Award), which awards the top professional athletes year in and year out was held at the Nokia Theater July 13, 2011 in Los Angeles, California. Always a part of Hollywood’s hottest Entourage, Emmanuelle Chriqui, who plays “Sloan” on the hit HBO show, looked F-A-B-O at last night’s Espy Awards!

Sloan was one of many presenters for the night and killed it in a black strapless Herve Leger by Max Azria dress! If the dress wasn’t smokin’ enough, the actress paired it with gorgeous, vibrant strappy platform sandals- LOVE! Can’t wait to see more of Sloan this summer on HBO’s Entourage, whose 8^th and final season premieres on July 24, 2011! (Vinnie Chase, you should have never given her to E for Mandy Moore!!) Get in the Entourage with some of these similar cuts from Faviana's Fall 2011 Collection! So similar in design, fit and skirt that you'll feel part of the gang too!

Performances may have been hot at last night’s 2011 Billboard Music Awards (I mean did you see B?), but the Red Carpet was aflame!  Looking for a Red Carpet look? Take a page from Queen B, Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez and Kelly Rowland! They were bringing the noise in more ways than one!  Check out the sizzling songstresses and their Billboard’s choice.  Award winning or not, they were all on top!

Sophisticated in her long sleeve stretch Lanvin pre-performance, Beyonce, who later gave a killer performance with her new single “Who Run the World”, was presented with the Millennium Award for her career achievements (thus far, because you know she won’t quit!). Go B, Go!  BFF Kelly Rowland looked HOT  in her fuchsia Max Azria mini.  Destiny’s Child reunion, pleaseeeee!? In a stunning sequin blush Ellie Saab, Taylor Swift continued her run, earning Top Country Artist and Top Billboard 200.  She was also nominated for Top Artist and Top Billboard Album nominee.  Presenter Selena Gomez rocked in Dolce and Gabbana (her boy Bieber<3 had a BIG night, taking home an armful of awards and matching in D&G… if that isn’t love, I don’t know what is!) So they looked great, right? Well so can you! Dress like these stars! Similar styles are offered below from some of the top evening designers.  Hot styles just in time for your next special event... talk about deja vu!

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and better known to the world as Prince Williams’s new bride Kate, has been hitting the newsstands hard in the recent months… what, her wedding is kind of a big deal! We love that England is making a Royal comeback but let's get real... it's not the hats! It's thanks in part to Kate and her sister Pippa’s striking dress choices at the Royal Wedding on April 29, 2011!  The world waited on edge for the first glimpse of Kate in her wedding dress and she did not disappoint...elegance and beauty, a picture perfect fairy tale!

Pippa looked amazing in her figure hugging, V-neck white stunner - which was simple from the front and everything but when the paparazzi caught a glimpse of the dress back!

Across the Atlantic in New York, Faviana took notice of the Middelton sisters, adding their gowns to their Red Carpet celebrity inspired line!  The ETA (estimated time of arrival) for these effortless and graceful designs is scheduled for debut to us commoners approximately August 2011!

Faviana couldn’t resist adding royal chic to its upcoming collection! Get your regal appeals with Faviana’s Royal Wedding line which includes the future Queen’s replica wedding dress (available in Ivory, Black and Navy) and the maid of honors gown (as well as an inspired party dress worn by Kate on a night out with girlfriends!) Get out there ladies and find your Prince... in style.

Last Sunday, the stars graced the Red Carpet at the 2011 SAG Awards and they did not disappoint.  While nudes and blushes were chosen by many, thankfully we had some head turning, eye-popping color from a few of our favorite leading ladies!  Two of televisions funniest chose colorful gowns! ABC’s Modern Family star Sofia Vergara had two big wins; One for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy and the other for a knockout with Cavalli’s flawless ruching and curve enhancing royal jewel-toned gown! NBC’s 30 Rock genius, (this show is always up for awards come SAG season) Tina Fey was the talk of the night in her fitted and strapless red Oscar de la Renta gown!

Lead Actress nominee Jennifer Lawrence (Winter’s Bone) also turned to Oscar de la Renta, choosing an off the runway electric (HOT) pink hit! This dress screamed “Check me out!” The color was something rarely seen on Red Carpets! Young and fun...LOVES IT! Kim Kardashian wore a gorgeous deep purple Marchesa gown... her usual one-shoulder gown (typical) yet threw everyone for a loop with her untypical and toned down hair and make up! Oh Kimmy, you kill us!

Bright, bold and brilliant color choices ladies… you're all winners (except for Kim K. who sadly will have to wait for Outstanding Performance by a Reality T.V. star to get picked up as a SAG category). With the Grammys and Oscars around the corner, we’re looking forward to see what you pick next! Who was your best dressed at this years SAG Awards?!
