Play Stylist: What Women’s Perfume Do You Think These Hollywood Celebs Should Wear?

It’s red carpet season and that means we’re seeing not just the celebrities and their winning moments but their fashion choices as well. As our favorite celebs grace the red carpet at the Golden Globes, let’s play stylist and figure out what women’s perfume goes well with their gowns and dresses.

Cate Blanchett – Winner, Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture (Drama)

Always regal and sophisticated, Cate Blanchett won the best performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture for her role of Jeanette ‘Jasmine’ Francis in Blue Jasmine, a Woody Allen film. She’s one of the best dressed this season, wearing an elegant black lace dress over a skintone bodice by Armani Privé. The back of the dress has a low dip that accentuates her long spine. For a million dollar Hollywood star that exudes pure sophistication, we’re thinking Emporio Armani Diamonds for Women is the perfect perfume accessory. Emporio Armani Diamonds is created for a woman with grace and timeless beauty.

Jennifer Lawrence – Winner, Best Performance by an Actress In A Supporting Role in a Motion Picture

A beautiful face you love to see at the red carpet, Jennifer Lawrence is one humble and quirky Hollywood star who instantly rose to fame when she won the best actress award for Silver Linings Playbook at last year’s Oscar. She’s also popular for playing the role of Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games movies. Although many fashion critics think J. Law’s gown by Dior is a miss this year, she’s still the perfect female star to wear Dior haute couture. While she’s currently Miss Dior’s endorser, we think she could give justice in wearing the playful and romantic Forever and Ever by Christian Dior for Women. After all, she planted a kiss on boyfriend Nicholas Hoult’s lips before accepting her award. Well that’s one romantic ever after for Jennifer.

Kerry Washington – Nominee, Best Performance by an Actress In A Television Series (Drama)

Even when pregnant, Kerry Washington never fails to walk on the red carpet with refined style. In fact, she never misses to be part of the best-dressed Hollywood stars. The actress nominee for her role in Scandal proves that she’s not only a beautiful face but a talented artist worthy of a nomination. A white custom-made Balenciaga dress donned Kerry Washington and we think L’eau de Chloe for Women would be a perfect perfume for the mom-to-be. L’eau de Chloe is a subtle, refreshing scent that’s mild – just perfect for a pregnant woman.

Sofia Vergara – Nominee, Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television
Who wouldn’t recognize this Colombian bombshell who’s not only drop-dead gorgeous with all those curves but downright funny, especially in her role in Modern Family? A nominee in this year’s Golden Globes, Sofia gave good justice to Zac Posen’s creation. The black, strapless ball gown, flawless hair and makeup, perfect complexion, her megawatt smile and her cleavage definitely dominated the red carpet. Sofia Vergara looks like a Latina princess, that’s why Love and Glamour by Jennifer Lopez is the right perfume choice for her. This alluring scent is dreamy, combining fruity and floral scents enclosed in a perfume bottle shaped in a woman’s body.

Weekend Music: Reo Brothers

Weekends are dedicated to music.. well more like, hubby’s music.. Sundays specially. Our house would be glaring with Freddie Mercury songs and Mitoy (which he thinks is the Freddie Mercury of this generation)..and other reality tv singing competitions.. endless music every weekend!

And last night, he discovered another great music video..The Reo Brothers performing at Kwento ng Pasko, ABS CBN Christmas Special 2013:

It’s a very long video.. but so worth it! After their last song, the audience asked for more and more.. and the brothers sung a few more songs, ending their performance with Hey Jude. It was a standing ovation for the Reo Brothers! Please watch until the end.. their Hey Jude rendition is soooooo cool!!!!!! (a reggae fanatic here ahaha)

The Reo Brothers were from Tacloban, survived the typhoon Yolanda and relocated here in Manila. The group is composed of brothers Reno, RJ, Raymart and Ralph.
