1. Sandra Bullock 2010
Sandra Bullock's 2010 awards season was one for the books: She cleaned with a Golden Globe, SAG, and BAFTA for her role in The Blind Side, then took home the Oscar (just days after winning a Razzie for Worst Actress for her All About Steve part). It was epic. Her then-husband Jesse James cried when her name was called, then we all wanted to cry for her again when it was revealed weeks later that he'd been having an affair with a whole lot of tattoo models.

2. Charlize Theron
Charlize Theron turned heads on the red carpet at the 2003 Oscars, then she went on to win the Best Actress prize for her role in Monster during the show. She became the first person from Africa (she was born in South Africa) to win an Academy Award in a major acting category.

3. Beyonce (2005)
Beyonce was asked to perform during the 2005 Academy Awards. She performed three songs at the show, including a duet with Josh Groban, and was generally well-received -- except some people claimed she butchered the French language during her performance of "Vois Sur ton Chemin." Yikes.

4. Jamie Foxx (2005)
Jamie Foxx was so excited to win the Best Actor prize for Ray in 2005 that he got onstage and kissed presenter Charlize Theron! He brought his daughter Corinne as his Oscar date and said when he got to the podium (while on the verge of tears): "I want to thank my daughter, who said to me before I got up here, 'Dad, if you don't win tonight, you're still good.'" Aww!

5. Reese Witherspoon (2006)
Reese Witherspoon went from playing a ditzy sorority girl in Legally Blonde to playing Johnny Cash's wife in Walk the Line, a role that earned her the Best Actress Academy Award. She gave an emotional acceptance speech, thanking her kids ("who should be going to bed") and quoted June. She said at the end of her speech: "People used to ask June how -- how she was doin'. And she used to say, 'I'm just tryin' to matter.' And, I know what she means, you know. I'm just trying to matter and live a good life and make work that means something to somebody."

Celebrities Attend The 2010 Annual Charlize Theron African Outreach Project

 Celebrities Attend The 2010 Annual Charlize Theron African Outreach Project

Celebrities turned out to support Charlize Theron at her 2010 Annual Charlize Theron African Outreach project dinner held at The Darby restaurant.

Charlize and Liv Tyler were very huggy and happy as they laughed it up on the red carpet together. I am loving Liv’s look here! It’s so fun! And Charlize looks absolutely stunning, as always. She reportedly auctioned off a date with herself as part of the fundraising efforts. She agreed to attend the Lakers game with whomever won the tickets being auctioned off if they donated an extra $20,000.


Jon Hamm and his girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt, and Petra Nemcova were also in attendance.

Charlize’s organization strives to help at-risk children and communities in South Africa, with a focus on AIDS/HIV. Charlize, who is a native of South Africa, has been a part of this initiative since 2007.

The 10 Best Dressed of The Week


The 10 Best Dressed of The Week is a new feature here on Style Spot which will be posted every Sunday. Throughout the week, I'll be scouting for the very best outfits, and create a summary of them here. I hope you'll enjoy it!


This week, the stars have glittered in the occasion of New York Fashion Week. The Chanel Soho boutique opening attracted many beautifully dressed celebrities, with four of them ending up on this list. One gossip girl has received high fashion scores, giving her two great spots of the 10 best dressed list. Excited to see who?


10. Charlize Theron at Dior's Celebration of Fashion's Night Out

On Friday, Charlize Theron attended Dior's celebration of Fashion's Night Out looking very chic indeed. I love the use of grey and black teamed together which oozes simplicity and elegance. The cut of the black jacket is absolutely gorgeous. And I really like the element of surprise which is added by using those nude boots.


9. Alexa Chung at Alexa Chung For Madewell Launch Party

A few of you might not understand why I have put this outfit on the list, but I must admit that I have a slight weak spot for Alexa's chic granny outfits. This cream skirt is so lovely and delicate and I really like how it is worn with the long, brown cardigan and the black, patent boots.


8. Diane Krüger at the New Chanel Boutique Opening in Soho

Once again, Diane Krüger proves why she is such a style icon. It looks like this ruffle dress was made for her, and the boots seems like they were made for the dress. I love how one of the shoulders holds up the dress, while the other hangs below her shoulders. It adds such a flirty, sexy feel to the outfit.


7. Chanel Iman at the New Chanel Boutique Opening in Soho

This is one of those beautiful dresses that you dream of finding when you visit a vintage store.The shape and sequins is what makes this dress. And I adore that she wears her red Chanel bag with it because a dress like this needs a bold accessory to bring it out even more.


6. Olivia Palermo Backstage at the Ports 1961 Spring 2011 Fashion Show

Even though I am not such a huge fan of Olivia Palermo on The City, I am not going to hold that against her when it comes to the way she dresses. She does have a great talent when it comes to combining different patterns, colours and fabrics. And she always has the best accessories, especially large and stunning rings.






5. Lily Donaldson at the New Chanel Boutique Opening in Soho

This is one of those outfits that I want to copy every detail of and wear right now. I am a huge fan of contrasts in an outfit, so therefore I really like the elegant shape of Lily Donaldson's blazer teamed together with a sheer white t-shirt and torn denim shorts. And she looks so cute with her hair like that.


4. Rachel Bilson at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, Spring 2011

Lately, I have been obsessed with leather shorts, so Rachel Bilson's outfit definitely hit home. Also, her blouse is gorgeous and it reminds me of an Acne blouse that I am lusting for at the moment. To be honest though, I think it is her pink lipstick that makes me really love this outfit; it adds such a beautiful freshness!
  

3. Blake Lively at the New Chanel Boutique Opening in Soho

There is a lot of talk about Blake Lively's style; some love it and others hate it. I am one of those who most of the times love it. I often prefer her style to Leighton's, and she has hands down the best wardrobe in Gossip Girl. At the opening of the new Chanel store in Soho, Blake was glowing. Stepping out of her comfort zone (showing boobs and legs) really suits her. And the top half of this Chanel dress is perfection.
  

2. Sarah Jessica Parker at Fashion's Night Out

Those of you who have been reading Style Spot for a while know how obsessed I am with sequins, so there is no surprise why Sarah Jessica Parker is listed as a number 2. I am officially in love with her jacket! It looks so good with that lavender/baby blue dress. And her heels are crazy cool. I want!

When I first saw Blake in this gorgeous, graphic Marchesa dress, I gasped out loud. The reason why is because I love it when celebrities have a yellow moment (if they wear it right that is!) The strapless top half and the floaty bottom, makes a flirty and girly dress which I am always a fan of. In the beginning, I couldn't get used to the Louboutins she is wearing, as I thought the red steals some of the attention of the dress, but now I love it as I feel it compliments it perfectly.
