Glam Slam: From The Soccer Field To The Oscars Red Carpet

Talk about a Cinderella transformation! I started Oscar Sunday hitting the soccer field with my husband and 3-year-old daughter and ended up on Oscar’s red carpet. Oh, just a typical day juggling Mommyhood and Hollywood — haha!

Cargo jacket, jeans and boots are my unglamorous mom-i-form for soccer and T-ball. Then, I ran home to get ready for the big event. I quickly showered, curled my hair, did my makeup and then applied shimmer cream on my neck, chest and arms for a very subtle sparkle (and yummy smell!).

My dress was a pretty vintage strapless Marchesa featuring black burnt out velvet with nude lining and a big silk flower on the bodice…very Carrie Bradshaw! The empire style is very comfy and I didn’t even have to wear Spanx! I didn’t have any black shoes to match the gown and I was hitting stores all over town at the last minute trying to find a pair. I have issues and can’t wear very high heels…even more so since we’re on our feet for hours.

I looked everywhere…from teen stores selling prom shoes, to mall staples like Aldo where the heels are waaaaay too high for me. I ended up running into Saks the day before the Oscars…where Jessica Simpson happened to also be shopping for shoes, by the way!

I literally had five minutes to shop and a saleslady powered through loads of choices to help me zero in on a black pair of sparkly Jimmy Choo platforms. I really didn’t have that kind of money to spend on dressy shoes I won’t wear that often, but the fact that I found a pair that didn’t hurt my feet was nothing short of a miracle, so I bought them. If I had the money I would also buy them in gold and platinum because these shoes were gorgeous and classic and like I said, it’s such a challenge to find heels I can wear so, when you find a good thing, you gotta go with it!

I finished it off with sparkly earrings, bracelet and ring, and a satin Chanel bag I’ve had for ages. Then, it was time to hit the red carpet, which I walked with Susan, one of our producers. (That’s her in the photo we took with Shaun Robinson.) If I was famous, it would be so nerve-wracking to walk such a big carpet with so many photographers and crews. Of course, no one is looking at us non-famous folks, so there’s no pressure at all for us!

Then we hit our “penthouse”…the shooting platform above all the action where we have killer views of all the celebs making their way down the carpet. For the next three and a half hours we check everybody out…JLo, Michelle Williams, Angelina Jolie, Viola Davis, Cameron Diaz. Pure fashion bliss.

And then, poof, like that, it’s over. Time to change back into my mommy wardrobe before I turn into a pumpkin! At least I still have the swanky glass slippers!

Gwyneth Paltrow and Natalie Portman are both winning raves for their Oscar looks…Gwyneth in white hot Tom Ford and Natalie in bright red vintage Haute Couture Dior.

Their hairstyles perfectly matched their gowns and here’s how you can achieve their red carpet looks:

GWYNETH PALTROW
WHO: Frederic Fekkai’s Adir Abergel
INSPIRATION: A sleek and modern interpretation of a low-nape ponytail
HOW TO: Begin by applying Fekkai Coiff Ironless Straightening Balm from the roots to ends of damp hair.

Create a strong side part using a comb.

Blow-dry the hair without a brush, making sure to keep the part and desired shape of the hair.

Flat iron the hair until it is completely smooth.

Apply Fekkai Advanced Brilliant Glossing Cream from the roots to the ends to give the hair shine and a mirror finish.

Pull the hair back as though you were tying a low ponytail at the nape of the neck.

Tie the hair with two elastic bands below the nape of the neck. Allow the elastics to show and give the hair a raw edge.

To secure any fly-aways, lightly spray Fekkai Sheer Hold Hairspray.

NATALIE PORTMAN
WHO: Frederic Fekkai’s Didier Malige
INSPIRATION: A modern take on a glamorous, beautiful and classic 1950s movie star look
HOW TO: Apply Fekkai Coiff Oceanique Tousled Wave Spray from the roots to the ends of wet hair.

Blow-dry the hair completely using the Fekkai Large Round Brush.

Once the hair is dry, use a 1-inch curling iron to create soft and feminine waves throughout the hair.

Sweep the hair to the left side of the face.

Add shine and lasting hold to the look with Fekkai Brilliant Glossing Cream.
