A-list bonanza alert!  Last night, Valentine’s Day premiered and basically all of Hollywood was there, since half of Tinseltown stars in the movie: Julia Roberts, Jennifer Garner, Jessica Biel, Anne Hathaway, Taylor Lautner, Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Patrick Dempsey…the list goes on.  (By the way, is anybody else tripping over themselves in excitement to see this?  It’s all but guaranteed to be crap…and I’m sure I’ll love every second.  No accounting for taste, eh?)

For your viewing pleasure, here are some of the best looks from the red carpet:

Well, I was certainly not expecting this from Taylor Swift!

The hair and makeup is very much same-as-always: emphasis on her pretty doe eyes, perhaps a little smudge of bright color on her lips, softly curled hair.

Our peekaboo fashion statement here, however, is one part sexpot, one part Park Avenue Matron.  Can’t you see Catherine Zeta-Jones in this gown?

At least when Taylor goes all adult, she keeps it classy!

Between Fashion Rocks, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week and last night’s MTV Video Music Awards, the stars have been out in full, look-at-me! force recently.  This year’s VMAs were infinitely better than the trainwreck that we had to endure last year…but the bar had been set so low that it didn’t take much to outdo it.  It certainly wasn’t as good as the VMAs of my youth.  Sigh.

Britney’s back!  Clear-eyed!  Smiling!  And…well, looking not too damn bad!  (C’mon, haters, let’s give a little credit where credit is due.  I missed you, Brit.)

I was not necessarily digging Lindsay Lohan’s ensemble and hair, but the mega-wattage smile and sense of grounded calm she was sporting is a million times more beautiful, anyway.  Nice to see the former party girls cleaning up.

After growing up in Georgia, country music holds a special place in my heart.  (Nowadays country is so crossover that it’s basically indistinguishable from pop!)  Last night’s Academy of Country Music awards in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand brought out several high-profile stars like Nicole Kidman, Taylor Swift, Julianne Hough, and Queen of them All, Carrie Underwood.  Loving the fringe, Carrie.

I normally have issues with Carrie’s makeup team, who seem to delight in giving her a perennial five-o-clock-shadow “tan”, but she was looking mighty flawless…if a bit, well, country!

Nicole Kidman’s glowing, but I’d gently suggest to her dermatologist to go easy on the Restylane in the lips next time.  We don’t need a Meg Ryan/Melanie Griffith situation here
