Monique Lhuillier

Julianne Hough did double dress duty at last night’s Golden Globe Awards! The dancer-turned-actress attended the show in a gorgeous cream Monique Lhuillier ballgown with gold embellishments, and a unique one-of-a-kind earcuff made of a fossilized carob beetle! After the show, Hough changed into a sleeker, more party-ready number by Jenny Packham for the InStyle after-party. Hough flaunted her figure in the curve skimming blush-hued gown, which featured silk panels and exaggerated shoulders. However, her dress didn’t last past the dance floor! “I love to dance regardless of how expensive a dress may be… You can’t hold me down!!!” Hough tweeted along with a picture of her ripped dress. Tell us: which look is your favorite?

Ever since Nicki Minaj stunned fashion lovers at the American Music Awards red carpet by wearing the same citrus Monique Lhuillier gown Julie Bowen wore to the Emmys in September, we’ve been wondering how Minaj came to wear the curve-hugging look. Turns out, the designer was just as surprised! “The best part was I had nothing to do with it,” Lhuillier told InStyle.com at the opening of her new flagship store in New York City last night. “I was surprised! I saw her on the screen and I was like, ‘Oh! So, she bought it at one of the stores.’” So, did she think Minaj pulled it off? “I thought she rocked that dress,” Lhuillier said. Now that’s a compliment, Barbz!

George Clooney isn’t the only one who’s got his hands on Stacy Keibler these days—Brad Goreski does, too! Keibler is now working with the celebrity stylist and former InStyle contributor, which means he helped put her in these two Monique Lhuillier looks shown here. “I’m really having a blast with Brad,” she told InStyle.com at the Valspar Love Your Color Guarantee Project launch in New York City. “We are on the same page. We have an amazing connection when we work together and we have so much fun. That’s really important.” So, can we expect to see bright colors, Brad’s favorite? Absolutely. “I really love color, actually,” she told us. “There is a great energy that comes with color.” Agreed!

When Jennifer Garner wore Monique Lhuillier’s red contoured column dress to the Los Angeles premiere of Argo last week, she topped the list of ladies who qualified for Look of the Day—and, according to our poll, was your strong favorite for best dressed celebrity of the whole week! The gown comes from Lhuillier’s Fall 2012 collection, with a twist: Garner removed the belt. “The look had a belt to cinch the waist in, but she didn’t need it,” the designer told InStyle.com at the Hammer Museum’s 10th Annual Gala in Los Angeles. “Other than that, it was straight off the runway. It was very fluid and close to the body, and the leather gave it an edgier feel. And everyone forgets that she just had a baby. I thought she looked fabulous.” We think so too!
