I love checking out celebrity styles, watching to see what they are going to wear to one event or another.

There are definitely some hot and not so hot ensembles displayed over the past couple of months, and here are a few of my favorite hot or not styles.

Carrie Underwood

I cannot say enough about this look. Singer Carrie Underwood showed up at the 2008 CMT Music Awards looking like a true star.

In an eye-catching cobalt-blue Badgley Mischka mini-dress and gorgeous silver strappy Rene Caovilla sandals, she is absolutely stunning.

It was very smart of her to keep her accessories minimal, as this draws all the attention to this super sexy and elegant dress.

The vibrant color is dynamite with her blonde hair and plays up her best features.

I am not always impressed with Miss Underwood’s fashion sense but this outfit I definitely give the thumbs up to.

Mary-Kate Olsen

This was definitely one of the biggest style nots in the past week that I have seen.

I constantly hear of people talking about how the Olsen twins have fabulous style and creativity, but while Ashley at least looks half decent most of the time, Mary-Kate always seems to manage to look like a hobo.

This outfit is no different, and although the floor-length vintage Missoni dress could look great on someone else, it makes Mary-Kate look huge and uncoordinated because it floods over her tiny frame.

Oh, and I didn’t even make it to the Marc Jacobs headband yet. Please Mary-Kate, just take off this disastrous outfit!

Heidi Klum

Now here is one girl who always has style. Heidi Klum always has it going on, and she looked beautiful and glowing in a purple mini-dress designed by Project Runway finalist Rami Kashou.

Recently Heidi was declared as US Magazine’s Style Icon of the Year, and it is really no wonder why.

She is definitely a winner in this figure flattering strapless dress, but then again, could anything not be figure flattering on Heidi?

The beautiful plum color is very summery and fresh, and contrasts against her ash blonde hair.

Heidi Klum is a beautiful woman and always knows how to play up her best features, as she has done here.

Gwyneth Paltrow

The ’80s style is definitely back and is … Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive?

Anyways, Gwyneth Paltrow, although we rarely see her out on the red carpet anymore, certainly knows how to wow us when she does appear.

Glowing in a vintage Christian Dior gown in hot pink, Gwyneth was positively stunning, pairing a cute black clutch with her black sash belt.

The outfit is a little too matchy-matchy for my liking and I think she could have kept the belt and bag black and added a little something special in the shoes, but regardless she was striking.

All she needs now is her other accessory Chris Martin and she’s good to go.

Molly Sims

Simple definitely can be sexy, as the beautiful Molly Sims shows us in her sunny Calvin Klein sheath.

The dress, which is available from the designer’s Fall 2008 Collection, looks fabulous with Molly’s golden complexion and dirty blonde hair.

She kept the accessories very minimal, wearing only a small black clutch, black nylons and mules and small hoop earrings.

Not many stars would be able to pull this look off and it would probably just come off as boring, but with Molly’s gorgeous face and body it is definitely a winner on her.

I’m always commenting on the celebrity women who are fashion icons, and it is about time that I point out a few of the men in style.

Brad Pitt

I have to start off with Brad Pitt. This is one man that no one can deny is a true style icon. He looks good no matter what he’s wearing, whether it’s ripped jeans or a classy Armani suit.

The first guy to ever be voted Sexiest Man Alive twice by People magazine, Brad Pitt definitely has something to boast about. He has gained the adoration of men and women alike, bringing to life a range of different styles.

He prefers Dior and Ralph Lauren suits for special occasions but we usually see him out and about with lovely lady Angelina Jolie dressed down in t-shirts and faded jeans.

Ashton Kutcher

Although he is still pretty young, over the past few years Ashton Kutcher has definitely been considered as one of the leading male fashion icons.

Once a model, Ashton is no stranger to style, and he always makes sure to have fun with his clothes, which is really important. He is definitely one of the chameleons of celebrity male fashion, and one to watch out for when it comes to discovering new and funky trends.

Of course, no matter what he wears Ashton will still be incredibly stylish, as he has the hottest accessory of all - Demi Moore.

Pharrell Williams

One of my favorites to make this list is Pharrell Williams. He always has a much more relaxed look than most celebs, but really gives casual, hip, sporty looks a whole new name.

A skater at heart, Pharrell shows this off with color hoodies with bold blaring stripes and knee length skater shorts.

To dress up an outfit he favors a dress shirt and tie with comfortable jeans, to keep it laid back but stylized. His clothing line, Billionaire Boys Club, shows off his unique and sexy style and allows you to wear it as your own.

Will Smith

Will Smith has definitely got it going on. Not only is he incredibly talented and successful with his music and movie careers, but he’s also a seriously dedicated father and husband.

He always looks confident and pulled together, and is one of the very few men who can pull off the turtleneck thing, no doubt due to his impeccable physique.

This is one man that looks great in a suit, with his height and shoulders filling it out to perfection. He is always very particular about his look and you will never see him in anything less than designer duds like Gucci and Armani.

Justin Timberlake

Come on you knew it, he had to make the list. A real sharp dressed man, Justin Timberlake knows how to work it in just about anything.

From cowboy hats and worn jeans to slim fitting black three piece suits with a bit of scruff on his baby face, he can pull anything off.

As a budding fashion designer it is no wonder he has begun to show off his tasteful style, and launched in November 2005, the William Rast collection is now available.

George Clooney

Check out any “Most Fashionable” list and at the top of the list you will find this man. He is a style icon, looking suave and debonair in some of the best fitting tuxedos.

Listed as one of the best dressed male celebrities of all time, Clooney fits right into the category with names like Robert Redford, Sean Connery and Fred Astaire.

He is always well groomed which just adds on more sex appeal and allure to his outfits, and keeps him looking rugged and manly but with a sweet boyish charm.

Full coverage of LA Fashion Week F/W 2008/2009, Special 2008 Academy Awards recap, NY Fashion Week, Miami Fashion Week, the Victoria’s Secret 2008 show and Sports Illustrated photoshoot will all be airing on FTV starting tonight.

Over the duration of a single weekend you will receive all the fashion information you need with full and exclusive coverage of the top fashion shows in the United States.

Anyone who wants to get the first look at all the hot new trends for the coming seasons will want to stay glued to the tube this weekend, and especially will not want to miss coverage on NY Fashion Week.

As reported on the FTV website:

This spring New York designers have produced an amazing mixture of trends and ensembles. Some of the looks that graced the runway were flirty & flowing fabrics, sexy yet serene silhouettes in calm sand, tan and grey colors. On the other hand bold graphic colors and designs, neon bright touches, quirky headwear, lean silhouettes, the boyish suits - Katharine Hepburn’s style and much more.

NY Fashion Week features supreme names in the fashion world including Derek Lam, Heatherette, Bill Blass, Marc Jacobs, Max Azria, Carolina Herrera, Oscar de la Renta and Luca Luca, just to name a few.

Fashion shows like NY Fashion Week are attended by jounalists, buyers, and celebrities, so chances are that you are not going to have an opportunity to attend in person, but you can get just as good a viewing by watching this weekend on FTV.

So the Junos were last night, and I was really thrilled for it, considering that Canada is my home country and I am proud that talent like Feist, Michael Buble, Triumph, and Finger Eleven all hail from the Great White North.

More than anything I was excited to see what everyone was wearing, and there were some really great and not so great outfits.

Okay, okay, so the Canadian award shows do not exactly stand up to the Hollywood-esque Grammys, Tonys, and Academy Awards of the United States, but I was really not worried about the glitz and glamor of it.

On a personal note I favor the Canadian award shows in a way because everyone is so laid back and relaxed - one of the members from Wintersleep, the band that celebrated their Juno win for New Group of the Year, actually even brought a coffee on stage with him to accept the award. I have to say I loved it.

Now on to the outfits. The star of the night, Feist, who I think was more than deserving of her five awards, looked absolutely adorable.

She switched into a few different outfits throughout the night, but each showed her unique, funky eclectic style and I thought they all looked perfect on her.

Avril Lavigne stuck to her usual punk-pop look, dressed in a black dress with white polka dots and coordinated shoes. She was more dressed up than I’ve seen her before, but without going too far out of her element.

So maybe it wasn’t the most elegant ensemble but she still looked super cute, and you could tell she was having a lot of fun and not taking any of it too seriously, hamming it up for the camera and carrying around her little streamer stick.

I have to add in Mr. Michael Buble here who looked as handsome as ever at the awards show last night. Not only does he have one of the most beautiful voices I have heard since Fred Astaire but he also dresses to the max.

For the most part the styles were pretty dull, with the majority of presenters and performers wearing basic black and no one really standing out.

Overall it was still a good show, one that I really enjoyed watching. It was laid back and relaxed, good ole Canada style.
