Red Carpet Report • Elton John's AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party

On Sunday night, Elton John hosted his annual Aids Foundation Oscar viewing party. I know, I'm late with my report but better late than never: I've been very busy!


Gwen Stefani wore a lace Zuhair Murad Fall 2011 Couture dress. The black dress with cherry red appliqués and intricate structure was paired with YSL pumps. Gwen's hair was in a poofed-up style. The styling weighs the look down. Rose McGowan took the white carpet in a Paule Ka 2012 creation. The gown with high black skirt and one-shoulder tangerine organza top was paired with a glittery Edie Parker clutch. Rose wore her hair in a chic updo. Emerald statement earrings by David Webb completed her look.

Sarah Hyland swapped her lilac gown for a mid-length full skirt dress by Collette Dinnigan. The black dress had sequin and lace details all over. The actress paired her cute dress with black peep-toes by Giuseppe Zanotti and a red satin clutch. Sparkly statement jewelry and hot red lips completed Sarah's look. Kim Kardashian opted for a simple look. The star wore a structured black dress by Alaia.

Katy Perry was shiny in a floor-length tulle gown with illusion-panels along the neckline. The  glittery gown looked good on Katy, but I guess the blue hair makes me dislike the look. I'm still not a fan of it. Katy accessorized with a pearl bracelet and a small black clutch. Miley Cyrus opted for a long-sleeve Roberto Cavalli gown with chiffon train. The grey gown with floral embroideries was, for once, a classy choice. Miley paired her gown with diamond statement earrings and a curly hairdo. A bright red lip shade completed her look.
