Awards Season

The Golden Globe Awards are not only all about recognizing some of the best talent in film and television, from domestic to foreign. But, this ceremony always goes far beyond the awards, as it's also about the beautiful red carpet fashion of the celebs! There were so many stunning looks at the 73rd Golden Globe Awards this year, but one gal celebrity blew us away: Kirsten Dunst.

Kirsten has been center stage lately, starring in the FX tv series Fargo (she plays beautician Peggy Blomquist in the series), for which she was nominated at the Golden Globes, and she certainly showed off her star power on the Golden Globes 2016 red carpet. She rocked a sexy black gown designed by Valentino that certainly turned heads. It's a classic gown with such a unique twist. While it's revealing in the chest area, it's done with such style. And, it's a look you can take cues from for prom! Check out our two favorite prom 2016 gowns to rock a similar look.  Continue reading →

We're not the only ones (still) obsessing over all of the gorgeous Oscar gowns and how we can easily get these celebrity looks for our own formal and semi-formal events! The whole internet is abuzz talking about their favorite red carpet looks, with one of the most recent news outlets talking about how to get Oscar gowns being CBS' show Inside Edition. In the below video, Inside Edition takes you through their favorite 87th Academy Awards looks and how you can get a much cheaper, but just as pretty dress for your own parties.

Recognize the dresses in the video? They're all dresses we have at Rissy Roo's from some of our favorite designers! Since they didn't mention the dress style numbers, we're here to help. Check out which dresses are featured below.

1. Get Jennifer Lopez's Oscars Dress with Mori Lee 97092

While this is the only dress that we don't have the exact version that's mentioned in the video, since it's a bridal dress, we do have the prom dress version: Paparazzi by Mori Lee 97092. It's a crystal beaded evening gown with a sheer beaded back and flowy chiffon skirt. At only $398, it's not only cheaper than Jennifer Lopez's $22,000 dress, but also less than the $900 bridal version!

2. Get Lupita Nyong'o's Oscars Dress with La Femme 20147

Lupita Nyong'o were a unique all pearls Calvin Klein dress that cost $10,000. Get her beautiful pearl look with La Femme 20147. It's an elaborate halter mermaid gown with a layered tulle skirt. The body of the dress is nude lining covered by white lace. Pearls and iridescent stones adorn the neckline and are scattered throughout the dress. At only $450, it certainly beats Lupita's $10,000 price tag!

3. Get Rosamund Pike's Oscars Dress with Mori Lee 97112

We loved the scalloped accents of Rosamund Pike's Academy Awards dress! Inside Edition's interpretation of the Gone Girl actress' dress at a much more affordable price was Paparazzi by Mori Lee 97112.  It's a stretch lace on shoulder gown with scattered beading accents and a front slit. At only $430, we couldn't agree more with Inside Edition that this dress is as equally as stunning as Rosamund's $53,000 Oscars dress.

4. Get Dakota Johnson's Oscars Dress with La Femme 21011

It's all about that stand-out one shoulder with Dakota Johnson's red carpet look! Capture her look with La Femme 21011. It's a unique one shoulder net jersey dress with a sweetheart neckline. The bodice is gathered and features sheet cutouts adorned with rhinestones. The strap is sheer net embellished with rhinestones, as well. Dakota's scarlet dress was $30,000, but this La Femme dress is only $350!

5. Get Jennifer Aniston's Oscars Dress with Scala 48421

Last, but certainly not least, is Jennifer Aniston's Academy Awards 2015 dress. Get this Oscars look with Scala 48421, a beautifully beaded $358 dress that's just as stunning as Jennifer's $40,000 dress.

The 2015 Awards Season continues, and we're still obsessing over all of the red carpet looks! Last night was the 87th Academy Awards and it was certainly a night to remember. The show was amazing, but of course our eyes were on the red carpet pre-show. Check out our picks for Oscars 2015 best dressed below, plus how you can get these totally gorgeous looks for Prom 2015!

Scarlett Johansson

Actress Scarlett Johansson looks amazing in everything she wears. So, we were of course expecting to love her look. But, Scarlett stunned all on this years Oscars red carpet with a totally new hairdo! Scarlett was first spotted preparing as a presenter at Oscars rehearsals on Thursday in a pixe cut (with no makeup!), so we already knew that surprise was coming. But, her slicked back pixie cut hair and bold green dress and statement necklace wowed everyone. She must be all about surprises lately, between becoming a new mom (she welcomed daughter Rose in September), cutting off her hair for a pixie cut, and rocking such a bold Oscars look. We're loving it!

To get Scarlett Johansson's Oscars 2015 look for prom, go with Rachel Allan 6864. It's a fitted jersey knit with bead work around the neck and an open back. It's a great way to rock green and get Scarlett's statement halter top look.

Jennifer Lopez

Musician Jennifer Lopez has always been paving the way in the fashion world. At this year's Academy Awards, she went with such an elegant ball gown with the perfect infusion of sexy. The sparkly gold gown was so gorgeous and had her looking like a princess! The deep v-neck on the dress has been a small point of controversy as to whether or not it was a little too low, but we think it's a perfect contrast to an otherwise elegant gown.

To get a sparkly gold ball gown look like Jennifer, go with Tony Bowls 113513. It's a strapless sequin prom dress with crystal accents on a sweetheart neckline and waist and a full skirt.

For a deep v-neck look on a gold dress, go with Jasz Couture 4980. It's a long beaded chiffon gown with a v-neckline, beaded details, and cap sleeves.

Kelly Ripa

Talk show host Kelly Ripa always looks so cute and chic, and the 2015 Academy Awards was no exception. She's all about fashion forward looks, and with black being such a popular prom dress color this year, we were excited to see her in a stunning black ball gown. The sparkles add just the right amount of fun to a classic look, and the long train was so beautiful.

To get just the right amount of sparkle and a beautiful train like Kelly's dress, we love Sherri Hill 32084. It's a fierce and fabulous ball gown with a strapless sweetheart beaded bodice and long flowing satin ball gown skirt. If you love Kelly's look, but want to peruse other dresses, there are so many black ball gowns available for Prom 2015! So, just click the link in the previous sentence or do some searching on RissyRoos.com.

The Grammys 2015 Red Carpet were full of so many unique looks this year! From Kim Kardashian's golden plunging dress (bath robe?), to Gwen Stefani's funky jumpsuit, to Taylor Swift's high-low dress, the looks spanned the spectrum this year. All of the looks were incredible, but there four celebrity outfits, in particular, that we are obsessing over because they are also perfect looks for Prom! Check our favorite celebrity Grammys outfits below, and how you can rock them for Prom 2015.

Miley Cyrus

As everyone knows, Miley Cyrus is known for her daring, provocative looks. So, we were pleasantly surprised to see her dressed in an elegant black gown on the Grammys 2015 red carpet. Her black gown featured cut-outs all along the side of the dress, making it the perfect combination of sexy and classic.

Cut-outs are very on-trend right now, so this is one look that's super easy to copy for prom. Get her v-neck look with large side cut-outs with Sparkle 71454. It's a jersey gown with beaded halter straps that extend to criss cross the open back. Beaded trim accents the waistline to create side cut-outs, and a side slit and small sweep train finish off this sexy look.

For slightly smaller cutouts and a more simple, classic look, go with La Femme 21160. It's an elegant net jersey dress with a gathered bodice and cutout straps that connect in back.

Ariana Grande

Ariana is always all about looking cute, bubbly, and girly... and basically... perfect. Of course, the 2015 Grammy Awards red carpet was no exception! She looked like an elegant princess in her one shoulder white gown and signature pony tail.

Rock a white one shoulder gown with some sparkle like Ariana with Blush 9780. Beaded illusion rocks in this sophisticated, yet alluring dress. Sexy jewels rock this one-shoulder as it flows into a stunning sheer back. Another band of illusion diagonally drapes your figure creating a brilliant dance column.

For a more flowy white one shoulder gown with a touch of silver sparkle, go with Jovani 6919. It's a one shoulder chiffon gown with a sweetheart neckline and jeweled embellishments at the waist and neck.

Madonna

From music to fashion, at 56 years old, Madonna is still always about doing her own thing, and this year's Grammys proves it! The musician had all eyes on her as she confidently walked the Grammys red carpet in a short and sexy black lace and nude number.

Lace is one of the big Prom 2015 trends, and Madonna wore the trend like none other! To bring elements of her black lace and nude look into your prom or other formal event outfit, we especially love Tony Bowls TS11467. It's a strapless dress with slightly curved neckline, deep center V with illusion inset, boned bodice with lace appliques, and lace covered slim skirt. We especially love how this cocktail dress incorporates the corset look from Madonna's outfit!

To get Madonna's look with a little bit of fringe, we love Hanna S 27912. It's a strapless sweetheart Venice lace cocktail dress with heat set stone on the bodice and an Ostrich feather skirt. This is a great option to go a little more more on the fun and flirty side of Madonna's look!

To get Madonna's Grammys look in a more traditional long prom gown, go with Panoply 14659. It's a two piece short dress with a top that has cord beaded lace appliques on nude lining with an illusion nude neckline. The separate skirt has a satin waistband, and a corded beaded lace appliqued short skirt with a removable tulle back flounce skirt. This dress lets you go short and sexy like Madonna, or long and elegant on-the-go!

Taylor Swift

Last, but certainly not least, Tay! Taylor Swift is always a red carpet favorite, and the 2015 Grammys was no exception. She looked Taylor perfect in her ombre teal high-low gown! We especially loved how she matched the bold colored dress with even bolder pink heels! What a perfect color combo!

To get some green/blue ombre like Tay in your prom dress, go with La Femme 19467. It's a stunning sweetheart dress with a tiered high low skirt and ombre dyed fabric. The bodice features criss cross ruching and small iridescent stones trimming the neckline.

For more of a halter style top with an over skirt like Taylor's dress, check out Sherri Hill 9743. This sexy two piece dress features a chunky beaded bodice with a choker style neckline and a short beaded skirt with a soft chiffon over skirt.

One of the most popular award shows is just around the corner, but it isn't the one where big speeches are made and tears are shed. Instead, it is the show of laughs and fun, and where coveted trophies of "Moonmen" are given out. Yes, the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards will be on August 24th, and the nominees have officially been announced! This year's nominees include some awesome collaborations, as well as your favorite and pretty expected musicians! We are hoping the show will be a blast, but as far as the nominees go, there are no major surprises, just super hits!

The 2014 VMAs nominees for Best Video of the Year include Iggy Azalea ft. Charli XCX for "Fancy," Beyoncé ft. JAY Z for "Drunk In Love," Pharrell Williams for "Happy," Sia for "Chandelier," and Miley Cyrus for her outstanding hit "Wrecking Ball."

The top ladies in music who continue to take the world by storm include Iggy Azalea ft. Charli XCX with her hit "Fancy," which is also nominated for Best Female Video. Iggy is nominated twice in the category for Best Pop Video for "Fancy" and her collaboration with Ariana Grande in "Problem." Ms. Grande is also nominated twice for "Problem" having a shot at Best Female Video as well. Way to go ladies! Beyonce, Lorde, and Katy Perry also join in the category for having nods for Best Female Video! Should be a very close vote in this category and we can't wait to see who the winner is!

One of the more interesting categories announced was for Best Video with a Social Message. We love this category because it honors the artist not only for his or her musical talent, but for spreading a positive word to young people everywhere. The 2014 VMA nominees for this category are Angel Haze ft. SIA with "Battle Cry," Avicii with "Hey Brother," Beyoncé with her song "Pretty Hurts," J. Cole ft. TLC and "Crooked Smile," Kelly Rowland  with "Dirty Laundry," and David Guetta ft. Mikky Ekko with the song "One Voice."

We loved the awesome collaborations that took place this year and we are really looking forward to see which artists will bring home the Moonman for Best Collaboration of the Year. It is tricky when one artist is great, but when they pair up with someone else amazing they really create phenomenal music! Will Ariana Grande ft. Izzy Azalea beat out Katy Perry ft. Juicy J. and "Dark Horse?" Or what about Beyonce ft. Jay Z for "Drunk in Love?" How will we ever tell? All we know is the show is going to be great and we are counting down the days to see the fashion, performances, and unexpected!

It looks like one of our favorite designers is conquering the world one day at a time! Famed dress and evening gown designer Johnathan Kayne is keeping busy this April, making a splash where ever he goes! He began the month featured at Nashville Fashion Week's closing night and the entire JK team partnered with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to make a girl's dream come true! Together, they had 14-year-old Esperanza Montalvo live her lifelong dream of becoming a runway model as she strut the catwalk with Johnathan during the closing night finale! The crowd was cheering while Esperanza wore a gorgeous pink strapless gown, Johnathan Kayne style 409, on the 45-foot catwalk. What a dream come true!

Keeping busy, Mr. Kayne went from Nashville to Las Vegas to dress celebrities for the American Country Music Awards! Song of the year winner, Lee Brice wore a custom Johnathan Kayne tuxedo jacket with leather accents and brass detail. Lee's wife Sara was also dressed in a Johnathan Kayne gorgeous sparkly gold gown, and won one of People Magazine's top ten best dressed! Get her look with these Johnathan Kayne gold dresses.

Johnathan also dressed USA Today's Red Carpet Correspondent Hilary Bilings, also known as Miss Nevada 2013,  in a pretty bright blue embellished mermaid gown! Way to go Johnathan! Check out more Johnathan Kayne blue dresses.

Already working hard on the upcoming 2015 collection, Johnathan is one busy man! What will Mr. Kayne be up to next? I guess we will have to wait and see! As for now in his words, "XOXO Stay Beautiful!"

As you already know from our post about Miranda Lambert at the 2014 ACM Awards last week, there were so many gorgeous looks at this year's Academy of Country Music Awards! Well, Miranda's looks weren't our only favorites of the night. We were also stunned by Country artist Katie Armiger's Red Carpet look, and for a very good reason: she was wearing one of our favorite dress designers - Jovani Fashions!

 Katie wore Jovani style 94189, a stunning lace gown with leather accents and an edgy plunging neckline. Both lace and leather are so in right now, and this dress shows how to perfectly pair the two trends in one look. Plus, the dress couldn't have been any more perfect for a Red Carpet look, and it was so figure flattering on her!

We especially loved how she paired it with dark red lips and nails, a sparkly gold purse, and minimal jewelry. The dark red lips and nails always pairs perfectly with lace, leather, and black, giving of a classic look of sophistication. And, we loved that she let the plunging neckline and lace accents of this dress speak for it self by keeping the jewelry minimal. The gold clutch was the perfect accent piece - simple, but powerful!

To finish of Jovani 94189 with Katie's clutch touch, we recommend going with La Regale 27039 Shiny Metal Clutch or Coloriffics HB172 Silver Stone Clutch.

La Regale 27039 is a metal clutch with an inside strap. The magnetic closure adds ease to this evening bag. This clutch comes in Gold, Black, or Silver.

For the hard case clutch look like Katie rocks, go with Coloriffics HB172. It's an out of this world silver clutch handbag covered in rhinestones. It only comes in Silver, but don't worry - you can easily match Silver or Gold accessories with Jovani 94189.

When you think of the Super Bowl, you think of the biggest sports event in the USA, right? Well, just because Super Bowl Sunday is all about the two best NFL football teams are coming together to battle it out for the biggest win of the year doesn't mean that there can't be some fashion involved! Believe it or not, there are Super Bowl Sunday Red Carpet events (especially with being so close to NYC this year!), and us girls at Rissy Roo's were all over watching the celebrity fashion! The Chicago Bears player Brandon Marshall's wife, Michi, recently showed how to perfectly rock the Super Bowl Red Carpet in one of our favorite designers: Alyce Paris!

 Michi Marshall recently attended the 3rd Annual National Football League Honors Awards Ceremony, where she looked fierce wearing Claudine for Alyce style 2324! The NFL Honors Awards Ceremony was held before the Super Bowl on Saturday, February 1, 2014. The mini dress that she chose to walk the red carpet in couldn't have been any more perfect! It's a beaded mini dress with a bateau neckline, beaded illusion sleeves and a deep v back. The beadwork gives this short dress the perfect touch of elegance for a red carpet event, and the long sleeves makes it so great for the winter time!

We also love Michi's choice for her NFL Honors red carpet dress because it's getting us in the mood for Valentine's Day! It's a perfectly sexy look for the day of love with the open back and sheer long sleeves. Best yet, since it's an LBD, you'll get so much use out of it year-round!

Of course, with all of the talk about how gorgeous Michi looked, we can't overlook how handsome Brandon looked in his suit! Check out their whole in NFL's Vine post of the couple!
