Who ruled the red carpet at the 15h annual Screen Actors Guild Awards? Here are Lovetripper's selections for the most stunning silhouettes. Which star wore your favorite frock of the evening?
1) Pretty in periwinkle,
Slumdog Millionaire's Freida Pinto's Marchesa creation was coupled with carats from jeweler Martin Katz. Seven rows of diamonds draped her wrist, while a bracelet bound up her hair with 53 carats of stunning sparklers. Ready for her close-up on the red carpet, 8-carat cushion-cut diamond earrings framed the star's photogenic face.
2) Two electrifying performances in one year calls for a dazzling awards dress, and Kate Winslet's bright blue, curve-conscious Narciso Rodriguez number fit the bill. Both 22-carat diamond drop earrings and a triple-row diamond bracelet from Chopard made a winning statement.
3) Choosing fashion's most sensuous fabric,
Vicky Christina Barcelona star Penelope Cruz was a vision in a velvet Azzedine Alaia halter dress. A pair of ruby and diamond Chopard earrings added fiery flair to the somber-hued silhouette.
4) Like a femme fatale from Hollywood's golden era,
The Wrestler's Evan Rachel Wood sizzled at the SAG Awards in a teal-toned Monique Lhuillier masterpiece. The one-shoulder sensation was topped off with an eagle brooch and Neil Lane diamond and platinum earrings.
5) Halter designs were the hit of the evening, and
Entourage star Perrey Reeves' fawn-hued frock by Monique Lhuillier brought an element of quiet elegance to the festivities. Diamond earrings from H. Stern flattered her face, and the diamonds crowning an 18k gold ring from the same jeweler winked in the sunlight as the actress waved to fans.

In the 1920's, Alice Prin was the queen of the bohemian scene in Paris. Making her mark in history as an artist's muse who inspired masterpieces from Jean Cocteau, Alexander Calder and Man Ray, the gifted painter and nightclub singer was know as Kiki de Montparnasse-- a seductive sobriquet which now lives on through the Los Angeles boudoir-themed boutique which bears the name.
Shopping at the Melrose Avenue store, Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson recently browsed through an array of unique unmentionables in anticipation for her honeymoon to Hollywood heartthrob Josh Duhamel. The happy couple are planing to pledge their love on January 10, 2009.
The Black Eyed Peas singer was not the first famous face to be spotted looking for lingerie at Kiki de Montparnasse since its grand opening in 2007. Shortly before saying "I do" to Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz,
Ashlee Simpson enjoyed a pre-wedding party at the boutique.

10309: "Britain's Got Talent" Judge Amanda Holden's Wedding
Celebrating the recent start of their married life together, the Maldives beckoned to Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden and music producer Chris Hughes, who left for their honeymoon hideaway on January 2, 2009. Along with their luggage, the couple carried with them the happy memories of their December 10, 2008 wedding, the
Daily Mail reported.
Engaged since 2004, their years together brought about the birth of their daughter Alexa, who acted as a flower girl on her parents' special day, sprinkling petals in the church on the grounds of Babington House in Somerset, England.
Among the guests to witness the happy occasion was actress
Sarah Parish (
The Wedding Date), who had earlier joined her friend for a bachelorette party in Norfolk's Burnham Market, and who no doubt thought about her own December 2007 wedding day as she watched the bride walk to the altar, where F1 racing champion David Coulthard stood by in the role of best man as the groom recited his vows.

10109: "American Idol" Finalist Gina Glocksen's Wedding
The end of the year marked the beginning of a new life for
American Idol season six finalist Gina Glocksen, who became the wife of Joe Ruzicka following a three year courtship. Family and friends gathered at the Century Memorial Chapel at Naper Settlement in Naperville, Illinois witnessed former
AI contestants Jordin Sparks and Haley Scarnato walk down the aisle in champagne-hued designs before the bride made her grand entrance,
People magazine online reported.
When attending the October 2008 "I do" of fellow
American Idol contestant
LaKisha Jones, no doubt the reality star dreamed of the day when she would don her own wedding dress. The moment arrived on New Year's Eve, when she slipped into a white, floor-length creation embellished with beading for the non-denominational ceremony. Clutching a bouquet of dark crimson roses, the bride's fingertip veil-- attached to tresses tinted with scarlet streaks-- gently swayed as she walked toward the groom, who presented the singer with a wedding band to accompany the engagement ring which has graced the performer's finger since August 7, 2007, when Ruzicka promised forever to the budding recording artist on stage at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois.
Shortly after the celebration ended, bridesmaid Jordin Sparks shared the joy of the day with fans on MySpace. Serenading the newlyweds with a rendition of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" for their first dance, the microphone was later handed over to the bride, who sang the touching contemporary country classic, "Lee Ann Womack's "I Hope You Dance," for her new husband and his mother.
