From her red-hot Elie Saab separates at last year s Oscars luncheon (above, right) to the eye-catching shade of pink she wore to the Critics Choice Awards to the sexy strapless metallic Gucci frock she wore at the LACMA Art + Film Gala in 2013, Adams definitely isn t afraid to spice up her classic look in a bold way. In honor of her sixth Golden Globe nomination for her role in Big Eyes, we re taking a look back at Adams s most stylish red carpet moments.

MTV Is About to Get Fancier! Iggy Azalea Named New House of Style Host

Iggy Azalea may be having the best year ever! MTV has just announced that the breakout artist has been named the new host of MTV s iconic fashion series House of Style. After years of honing her signature style on hip-hop’s underground circuit, Azalea burst onto the charts in 2014 with her smash hit Fancy  featuring Charli XCX. The song currently holds the record on the Billboard Hot 100 as the longest-leading No. 1 song by a female rapper, after it topped the chart for seven weeks.
Not only is Azalea a star in the music world—collaborating with the likes of Jennifer Lopez, T.I., and Ariana Grande—but she has hit it off with the fashion crowd as well. Azalea emerged as a sartorial star both on and off the red carpet, rocking looks by Elie Saab, John Galliano, Emilio Pucci, Roberto Cavalli, Alexander McQueen, Moschino, and more. Clearly, she will be a fitting host for House of Style, which explores the relationship between music and fashion and connects fans with celebrity style setters and designers to explore new trends.
The biggest impact that House of Style had on pop culture is its ability to make fashion fun and interesting to fans who are both diehard fashionistas or not at all, Azalea said in a statement. I am so excited to bring back this iconic show for another generation of teenagers.
On the series, the rapper will take viewers everywhere from L.A.’s best vintage stores to a music video set with Rita Ora and designer Jeremy Scott. The eight-episode digitally driven season will kick off on Aug. 4, and will culminate during the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards (in which Azalea is up for seven awards).

Check Out Carrie Underwood s Adorable Baby Bump at the CMA Awards

Carrie Underwood is radiant on the red carpet!
Underwood—who announced via Instagram back in Semptember that she is expecting her first child with husband Mike Fisher, didn t let her pregnancy stop her from going all out at the Country Music Awards. The co-host (alongside singer Brad Paisley) and nominee for Female Vocalist of the Year, chose a shimmering golden beaded gown by Lorena Sarbu to debut on the carpet, showing off just a mere peek of a baby bump. For her hosting duties, she changed into a plethora of other gowns, proving that her pregnancy is perhaps even adding to her outfit ADD.

Is This Jennifer Aniston s New Signature Color?

See All Photos Move over, LBD! Jennifer Aniston has a new sartorial love—the LWD (little white dress). After an impossibly chic streak of super-glam outfits, like her sequined high-slit Saint Laurent gown at the Globes or her daring one-shoulder Antonio Berardi dress, Aniston went and did a 180 on us with a design unlike anything we ve ever seen her wear.

At the Los Angeles premiere of Cake, our February cover girl went the girly route and stepped out in an achingly sweet (as sweet as cake!) cut-out Giambattista Valli LWD with a darling bow detail at the neckline, scalloped edges, and a floral-print skirt. For the finishing touches, she accessorized with delicate Jennifer Meyer jewelry and patent black Christian Louboutins.
Is the the beginning of the end of Aniston s LBD streak? Or was this a one-off thing? Only her next red carpet appearance will tell. Either way, can we all agree she looks exceptionally stunning?

Meet the Man Who Can Transform into Kim Kardashian

It’s official: Kim Kardashian can break the Internet without even trying.
Meet Paolo Ballesteros, the multi-talented makeup artist who uses wigs, contact lenses, and some seriously impressive contouring skills to morph into just about any female celebrity, from Miley Cyrus to Madonna and Katy Perry. His latest transformation, however? None other than Mrs. Kardashian West. Yes, the images you’re seeing above are not the real Kim.
The jaw-dropping selfies come just days after the reality star’s most recent hair change from platinum to icy blonde, and the results are perfection. Ballesteros, who’s a Filipino actor and TV host, nailed everything from Kardashian’s chiseled cheekbones to her famously pouty lips (we re not sure how, but he managed to acquire some ample cleavage, too).
Watch out, Kim! You might have some competition.

Found It! Eva Longoria s Wow-Worthy LWD

Leave it to Eva Longoria to take a basic summer staple like a little white dress and effectively turn it on its head. The Frontera actress stole the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival when she stepped out in a crepe, chiffon, and lace long-sleeve minidress by Three Floor with contrast panels (above). The U.K. label, which counts Emma Roberts, Miranda Cosgrove, and Amanda Seyfried among its fans (remember that dress from the 2013 MTV Movie Awards?), specializes in playful, artfully tailored designs like cut-out dresses with faux leather trims, asymmetric metallic crop tops, and satin and mesh pleated skirts.
If you re heading to a formal affair but still want to keep your outfit free-spirited and fun, we suggest taking a cue from Longoria and slipping on this attention-grabbing frock. The mix of nude and sheer paneling and lace and mesh seams combine to create an amount of coverage that is neither too much, nay too little. It s really no surprise that the La Blanc dress is designer Yvonne Hoang s favorite piece from the collection. It perfectly covers what s needed and flaunts what you’ve got, she told InStyle.com. It’s the perfect mix of sexy and playful—polished but with a hint of edge.

Cate Blanchett Finally Explains Why She Told Julia Roberts to #SuckIt During Her Oscars Speech

Get Ready for Keira Knightley This Awards Season! The Imitation Game Wins People s Choice at TIFF 2014

The buzz is on for The Imitation Game! This weekend, the Toronto International Film Festival handed out Grolsch People’s Choice award—the most prestigious prize of the fest—to the title starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Keira Knightley, and Matthew Goode. It’s important because the honor is not decided on by a jury but voted on by the thousands of festival-goers, which implies how much audiences love it and also that more awards could be in the future (read: Oscars). History’s proof: Previous winners of the prize include last year’s 12 Years a Slave, as well as Silver Linings Playbook (2012), The King’s Speech (2010), Precious (2009), and Slumdog Millionaire (2008).
When we caught up with the stars of the film at InStyle and Forevermark’s pop-up portrait lounge, their focus was on telling the story right, and doing it justice. “I think everybody felt that it was an important story to get out and to be a part of it,” Knightley told us. She plays Joan Clarke, the fiancée of genius Brit mathematician Alan Turing (Cumberbatch), who together worked on the team that cracked Nazi codes to bring an end to World War II. The tragedy is that later in Turing’s life, the British government prosecuted him for being gay.
“This is a film about celebrating people’s differences, and the devastation that can happen when you allow prejudice into government policy,” Knightley added. “I think it’s more about discrimination that it is necessarily about a love story.”
For Cumberbatch, he researched the role by “scavenging books and getting any kind of personal testimony from anyone he knew who is still with us,” the actor told InStyle. “The more I discovered, the more I wanted to really pay homage to the integrity of the character. He’s a huge figure for the gay community because of being one of the most famous of hundreds of thousands of them who were persecuted in that era of McCarthyist paranoid intolerance and a desperately sad, sad, sad time in history.”
With wildly good early reviews and this new TIFF prize in their figurative pockets, we predict this is the cast to watch as awards season starts to kick up (and that means lot of outfits by the always-stylish Knightley, which we can not wait to see). But first, you must see the movie: The Imitation Game is set to open in select cities on Nov. 21.

Get the Look: Bella Thorne Rocks a Chanel Fall 2014 Ponytail (and a Neon Romper to Boot)

Could Bella Thorne be any cuter? The Blended actress might have channeled her darker side in a Tim Burton-meets-Barbie doll fashion spread for our June issue, but her chipper interview, as well as her playful off-duty looks lead us to believe that she s none other than a fun and upbeat teen—much like her Disney persona would suggest. Case in point: The 16-year-old star recently stepped out at an event in L.A. sporting a neon pink romper by T-Bags Los Angeles and a dreadlocked ponytail inspired by Chanel s fall 2014 runway show in Paris (you know, the one in the supermarket that blew up your Instagram feed).

It s ideal for someone like Bella who s young, fun, and absolutely beautiful, says hairstylist Castillo of the ’do, which he created by incorporating springy strips of fabric into macraméd dreadlocks. First he spritzed Oribe s Dry Texturizing Spray ($22; oribe.com) from the roots to the ends to give Thorne s tresses texture and an extra lift. Next, taking random sections of hair, he used a crimper on 2 sections and brushed each one upwards.

Castillo then took handfuls of hair and wrapped them around Amika s 4P Interchangeable Barrel Curler Set ($175; sephora.com) and began creating braids by gathering pieces of crimped, curled, and straight hair together. With the three separate strands, he joined one piece of fabric with one of the strands to create the braid. After the braids were finished, he raked back the top section of hair with his fingers, made one voluminous ponytail, and sprayed it all over with hairspray to smooth down flyaways.

What we love most about Thorne s Cara Delevingne-esque dreadlocked look (besides how seamlessly she pulled it off) is how each piece of fabric strewn throughout her hair complements her bright onesie. Complete with a figure-flattering belted waist and a low V-neck cut, it s sexy without being too revealing. Scoop up T-Bags Los Angeles s sleeveless belted romper for $150 at tbagslosangeles.com to test out the Chanel runway look for yourself!

The Unique Way Patricia Arquette Is Relieving Stress Leading Up to Oscar Night

For the actors and actresses nominated for an award at Sunday night s Oscars, it s safe to say they may be feeling a bit of anxiety leading up to the big night. And although Patricia Arquette is no exception, she does have a unique&mdashand hilarious—way of dealing with those nerves.
RELATED: Why Oscar Nominee Patricia Arquette Is Bringing Her Daughter as Her Date
I was feeling a lot of anxiety, but tonight I got some really great hugs from some men and I felt like I downloaded some anxiety with each man that I hugged, the actress, who is up for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar on Sunday for her role in Boyhood, told InStyle at Thursday night s Hollywood Domino pre-Oscar soirée. There’s great huggers and there’s mediocre huggers, but somebody who really hugs you with some love in it—I’ve let a lot of my stress go.

Arquette, who has so far won the Golden Globe, SAG, and BAFTA for best supporting actress for Boyhood, said that the praise she s received has been unexpected. It’s all out of my hands, she said regarding whether or not she s prepared a speech. At this moment in my life, I expected other things, I’ve seen other things come true that I’ve dreamed of but I never dreamed of this so it’s kind of shocking me.
During the night s live auction that benefitted Artists for Peace and Justice, Arquette stated that if she does win, she ll mention the night s highest bidder in her acceptance speech. Tune in Sunday night to see if she makes good on that promise!
