These some random photos from the Hollywood Film Awards last night in Beverly Hills. I don’t know much about the Hollywood Film Awards, but I guess they’re like a precursor to awards season and honor films that are likely to be recognized, including some which haven’t even come out yet. Judd Apatow was honored for This is 40, which comes out at Christmas. He joked “No one has seen my movie. This is just based on an assumption that it’s good.” You can learn more about the honorees and the event here. We’re going to focus on the fashion and we’re going to just have this single post about it as there weren’t a lot of big (female) names there.
First off we have the lovely Amy Adams in a simple Oscar de la Renta navy cap sleeve gown with a sheer panel at the neckline. (Amy received the Hollywood Supporting Actress award for The Master.) This dress is perfection. Some of you may find it plain, and it is, but look at how well she wears it. You don’t have to be flashy to look elegant and gorgeous. I love her wavy hair and her makeup is perfection. Amy knows how to bring it to the red carpet, and she does so consistently and well. She’s wearing some crazy nude-colored platform heels, but you can’t really see them beneath this long gown. Also, Amy’s husband, actor Darren Le Gallo, was there with her. In some photos he looks uncomfortable but in others he’s smiling.
In contrast, Amanda Seyfried went for the obvious bombshell look in a a scarlet Prabal Gurung with corset white piping along the bodice. It’s a hot dress and Amanda wears it well, but there’s something cliche about the whole look – the red lips, open mouth, 40s hair, etc. I like that she went with gold pumps, that’s a bold choice.
Here’s Marion Cotillard in black and blue velvet Christian Dior. (Marion received the Hollywood Actress Award for Rust and Bone.) The dress is kind of understated and retro, I really like it. With some better styling it would have worked, but I’m getting stuck on the weird horn-like buns in her hair. It could be worse I guess, but that hair is really ruining the look for me. She also could use some jewelry like a necklace or earrings. Like Amy Adams, Marion opted for some metallic shoes. She’s wearing Dior silver pumps. They’re hot and I like them with this dress.
Kerry Washington worked a Monique Lhuilier strapless black and white splatter print dress. I love this gown and find it flattering yet striking. I usually dislike shoes with bows on them, but she makes those work.
Finally, here’s Helen Hunt looking like a dream in a little silver sheath dress paired with silver strappy heels. I would have liked to have seen different shoes with this dress, but overall this is pretty. I’ve been hearing a lot about Helen’s new film with John Hawkes, The Sessions, in which she plays a sex surrogate to a man who suffers from polio. It’s out in limited release now and is bound to get some nominations.

The first picture with the black dress – is elegant, is perfection.
The rest are not.

Agree. Amy looked the best in the most simple outfit. Sometimes less is more. Amanda Seyfried the worse. I don’t get what attractive about the faux prostitute look, underwear as outerwear plus opened mouth with red lipstick included.

Ah…I know. She looks like The Little Mermaid with that hair. And yes, I mean that as a compliment. Her hair is glorious.

Love Amy’s look here, very classic. Was Kerry W always that slender? She mght have been, but in my head she’s always been more muscular.

I wondered that too. Her neck makes her look very thin.

I love Amy Adams and her acting, but she always looks … brittle? Something about her expression, smiling or not, always looks strained/brittle to me. Not sure why…

I always think she just looks like a real person. She has a beautiful smile.
Mainly what I think i’ve figured out is that Amy Adams is secretly kind of a fierce b**ch. And I meant that in a GOOD way.
She’s such a good actress that she convinced people for years she was actually a Princess even though when you watch her in interviews…she has kind of a dark sense of humor.
That’s why I love her. She has the look of a Disney Princess but underneath she’s kind of a fierce b***ch. hahaha. And I love it.

LOVE Kerry Washington’s dress and she looks amazing in it.
Would have liked slightly different shoes even if they still had bows on them- something less structured, more asymmetrical.

Maybe these shoes instead?
Then I would steal the outfit.

I love Marion so much. I think she was trying to do either victory rolls or kitten ears to match the retro dress, but they were done a bit sloppy. They actually look best with bangs. Regardless she is breathtaking!

Amy Adams is beautiful and perfect. She can do no wrong…and damn! Where has Helen Hunt been hiding? On TBS runs of ‘What Women Want’ for the past decade I suppose…glad her pretty self is coming back! Love her.

I love all of these except AS’s but I can’t quite put my finger on it. I really like the shoe that much either idky.

It’s the lipstick.

Everyone looks good. But no doubt Helen Hunt had a face lift. I thought she looked cool before – now not as distinct from the rest.
Also, I prefer when you bunch the photos from an event into one post.

Everyone looks great here. Doesn’t hurt that all of these women are legit great actresses.
Amy Adams looks stunning. Love the chic, effortless nature to the gown. She’s letting her natural beauty shine through and I love it. Her hair is stunning and her figure looks great.
I love Marion’s dress though I’m not thrilled with the hair. Also wish she had worn a darker lip maybe? Who cares though. She looks great.
Awesome to see Helen Hunt back again! Welcome back Helen! Kerry Washington looks great.
Gorgeous group of talented women.

I find Amy’s dress to be very ho-hum.

I wonder if Amy’s hair color is natural. She seems like a natural redhead. Beautiful woman.

I for some reason think she’s really a blonde, but wasn’t getting noticed until she went red. I might be wrong on that though.

She’s a natural strawberry blond. This is actually closer to her natural hair color. A few years ago, when her hair was fire engine red…that was dye. She looks great either way.

Thanks guys. I can actually picture her in several shades now.

Amanda’s dress is not pretty. Puckered seam across the bust? Looks like Maidenform bra from the ’60s.
