The ABC's of Oscar Fashion

Ok let's get REAL real here.  Last night's Oscar broadcast was about as enjoyable as watching paint dry.  The media can spin it any way they want but here's a dose of reality...IT SUCKED!  Thank goodness for some and I do mean SOME fabulous fashion on the red carpet.  In a sea of mundane (think Naomi Watts, Jessica Chasten and even fashion darling Lupito Nyongo) a few goddesses stood out representing our ABC's of Oscar Fashion.  Here goes...our best-dressed at last nights snoooooozefest

THE ULTIMATE A-LISTER: Jennifer Aniston effortless perfection in nude sparkly Versace.

THE BLONDE BOMBSHELL:  Margot Robbie in Saint Laurent and Van Cleef & Arpels statement necklace - reminiscent of iconic beauty Michelle Pfeiffer 

THE CLASSIC: Reese Witherspoon in Tom Ford. From her hair to makeup and of course the gorgeous gown, flawless all around

HAUTE MOM ALERT!!! I mean...Hello LADIES!  

Though not my fave getup from Scarlett Jo - in Versace, let's not forget she gave birth around 5 months ago...

 

And Rosamond Pike in Givenchy had a babe less-than 3 months ago! O M G Jaw on the floor! 

Kate Hudson On Shape

Kate Hudson blows it out of the water on the cover of Shape Magazine this month talking about what else, ya guessed it, her own famous shape....oh yea and her new adorbs activewear line, Fabletics. www.shape.com If you know anything about me, you know I'm in ♥♥♥ with K-Hud.  Not just because she's stunning, successful, cool (first hand experience from a couple unforgettable red-carpet chats but she exudes true happiness.  That is really hard to find.  Kate tells Shape mag she finds her balance in meditation...taking a few minutes for herself everyday even if it's just "staring at a wall"  Where'd she learn such wisdom??  Ya guessed it again, her own mama, Goldie Hawn.  But what I love most about this interview is what Kate reveals she doesn't do - making her a bit more like the rest of us - that keeps her at the top of her game.  She doesn't use a personal chef, she doesn't diet and she doesn't have some crazy celebrity fitness routine.  Instead the 35-year-old Haute Mom-of-2 enjoys cooking healthy meals for her family, exercises to "get oxygen to my brain" with a bike ride, TRX or boxing and overall leads a healthy lifestyle rather than relying on crash-diets for 2 weeks at a time.  Haute Mommies, let this inspire you to get out there and be the hauttest b#*$ch you can be!  

Ballin Baby? I Think Not

Haute Mommies, my less-than-fond feelings about Kanye West have reached a new level with THIS.  He recently decided to suit up his 19-month-old daughter, North West, in a bullet proof vest at his own Adidas fashion show. What's better???  Kim K allowed it!!! WTFFFFFFF??!?!  This is so not funny, fashion-foward or fabulous as Kimye probably imagines, it's down right foolish.  Whatever deep, deep message Kanye and Kim are trying to send to the world "Our family is shielded from your insults" or "Whatever you say bounces right off" or "I'm protected for/from life" is NOT cute.  Someone stop them...

Fergalish: The Mom, The Myth, The Legend

If there's anything we know here at Haute Mom's Life, it's that Fergie is one sexy mama, not just to the rest of the world, but to her very own hubby, Josh Duhamel.  The songstress jokes in the February issue of Allure magazine that upon meeting her, "he just wanted to get in my pants"  Well fortunately for both that happened, some 10 years ago, and now they have a gorgeous little tot, Axl Jack to show for it.  

I recently worked New Year's Rocking Eve for Dick Clark Productions, hosted by Fergie so I had the chance to see a lot of her over several days of shooting.  Here's what I can tell you, she's got the looks of a queen, style of an icon, and one of the cutesssssst bambinos of all time.  That Axl...he sure is dreamy.  He was running around with his grandparents as Fergie sashayed across the stage hair and makeup following closely behind, primping her just moments before her heart-to-heart with One Direction.  Anywhoooo...this haute mama truly has it all.  Professional √  Personal √  Oh yea, and one haute hubby to cuddle up to every night √  It's good to be Fergie!
