See our top 12 Sag Awards red carpet picks »

2013’s red carpet train continued last night, with the best and brightest Hollywood stars making a stop at the 19^th annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards. And as that train quickens its pace, we’re seeing many of the same trends featured at the Golden Globes shining through once again.

Continuing with the strapless red dress trend that was so popular at the Golden Globes, Jessica Chastain matched her ginger locks with a bright red fitted Alexander McQueen gown with wrapped sweetheart neckline. In the white corner, Sofia Vergara and Naomi Watts wowed in Donna Karen Atelier and Marchesa respectively. Shining the brightest though, was Kerry Washington in an incredible white strapless Rodarte gown with silver lace and embroidery.

Michelle Dockery wore a black vintage Chado Ralph Rucci dress that caused excitement with sheer panels that revealed a bit of side boob. New mom Claire Danes once again flaunted her post-baby figure in a black one shouldered Givenchy gown that featured a thigh high slit with a graphic black and white design highlighting the slit.

Fitted silhouettes were also a big trend at the SAG Awards, with Amanda Seyfried and Jennifer Garner at opposite ends of the colour spectrum—Seyfried in navy blue Zac Posen and Garner in gold Oscar de la Renta.

Jennifer Lawrence followed suit in a strapless navy Dior Haute Couture gown that she looked gorgeous in despite battling walking pneumonia (and despite the rip or maybe a slip that could be heard around the world).

Last night’s 70th annual Golden Globe Awards was a pretty epic lesson in red carpet trends. From the bright colours to the mermaid tails to the boob shows, the A-list all seemed to have consulted with each other’s stylists before arriving at the event. Red rose to the top of the colour charts, making bright appearances on Golden Globe winner Jennifer Lawrence in Dior Haute Couture, Zooey Deschanel in Oscar de la Renta and Claire Danes in Versace. Richer shades were worn by Naomi Watts in Zac Posen, Taylor Swift in Donna Karan Atelier and Lena Dunham in Zac Posen (the verdict’s still out on Dunham’s dress, though we really don’t like to speak negatively about such a precious human).

Pastels also seemed a strong message on the red carpet, with every hue in the candy coated rainbow being tested against the natural beauty of the night’s various stars. Jessica Alba‘s signature bronzed glow was offset by her creamsicle orange Oscar de la Renta trumpet gown. Meanwhile, Golden Globe winner Jessica Chastain chose the most ideal aquamarine on the colour wheel for her Calvin Klein gown. Bravo!

On the flip side, stark black and white (and even a combo of both with Julianne Moore’s graphic black and white Tom Ford column dress) predictably showed up en masse on stars like Anne Hathaway in beaded white Chanel, Amanda Seyfried in stunning white Givenchy and Kate Hudson and Nicole Kidman, who were both clear standouts in statement-making black Alexander McQueen dresses.

And the mermaid tails, oh those mermaid tails. Thought they were retired? Think again. The ole pyramid hem is proving to be on a clear comeback, as worn by Amy Adams, Jennifer Lopez, Taylor Swift and Jessica Alba.

As for the aforementioned boob-show, one flip through out Golden Globe red carpet gallery would show quite the bountiful selection. And really, is there much wrong with that?

On Friday, the Twilight Saga comes to a close. What has been an epic adventure of vampires, werewolves, and even a major Hollywood scandal for Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, ended with an old school glamour filled red carpet in Los Angeles last night.

Our favourite vampires in the saga pulled out all the stops for the finale of the series, Breaking Dawn: Part Two, but like in the movies (and life), Kristen Stewart stole the show. She perfected Hollywood glamour in a nude Zuhair Murad sheer gown (the same designer that we saw her wear during TIFF) that was slightly scandalous but sheer perfection. Wearing a nude bodysuit underneath, the starlet showed off skin in a classy way and wore a bold pink lip.

She walked the red carpet with Robert Pattinson, which seemed like nothing more than a publicist’s request and even smiled for the Twihards. However, KStew still wore the love token necklace that RPatz gave her, only this time, she wore it backwards ensuring the charm was secured at the nape of her neck and exposed by her swide-swept hair. Acting like the scandal never happened seems to be the best way to get everyone to move on.

Even though New York Fashion Week’s Spring 2013 show season is only just winding down (and there are still three fashion capitals left to visit!), it’s never too early to predict trends. Here’s my breakdown of the top 10 trends from the runways this week:

Blogger Bryanboy wins the biggest try-hard award. Wearing Alexander McQueen‘s mirrored visor, printed Prada brogues and a neon lime fur camera strap, he’s only an it-bag away from completef must-have overload.

Victoria Beckham‘s collections keep getting better and better. With husband David Beckham beaming from the front row, her new take on tailoring expands her offering beyond the beautiful, but now expected body-con dresses, into tailored separates territory. A pimento mini skirted suit and simple long-sleeve car coat stood out among the otherwise black and white palette.

After years of anticipation, Fashion’s Night Out, the Vogue-backed citywide street party that began and expanded worldwide to include stops in London, Paris and even Sydney finally made its way to Canada’s fashion capitals, hitting Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal last night. As our editors attended events around Toronto, photographer Farzin Ghayour hit the pavement to shoot the street styles.

Beginning with Holt Renfrew’s 175^th anniversary street party, Ghayour captured some of the most adorable and magenta-filled moments including limited edition sweatshirts being sold direct from the brand’s roadtripping truck, custom-designed magenta Diet Cokes being handed out, the crowd (including president Mark Derbyshire) watching a specially filmed tribute video featuring guest spots from Victoria Beckham, Donna Karan, Michael Kors and others.

With a mere 44 days left until the annual Toronto International Film Festival begins again, the full list of films (not to mention their star-studded casts) has finally been released to the public. From the highly anticipated time-travelling mobster flick Looper to the visually decadent retelling of Anna Karenina, this year’s TIFF lineup sounds like a film buff’s dream come true. Of course, as fashion-inclined folk, we’re almost as excited about seeing what the stars will be wearing on the red carpet come September 6 as we are the films.

Donna Karan, who this week sported a walking cane and a giant black cast at the Tribeca Film Festival, said that her accident-prone nature has her rethinking the design of casts: “I’ve broken too many bones.
