GET THE LOOK: Meghan Fox at the Toronto Film Festival
Sure Megan Fox is one of those rare humans that don't really need a Glam Squad, but when she does get beautified for the red carpet, she looks flawless.
In an Armani Prive dress, Megan Fox turned heads on the red carpet at the Toronto Film Festival for the debut of her latest film “Passion Play.” In addition to that smoking white dress and her sexy red lip color, Fox wore a sultry waved hairstyle created by celebrity stylist Creighton Bowman.
Creighton dished to Glamazons Blog about how to get Meghan's sexy look. “We decided a soft, and effortlessly natural look was the way to go with her dress which was sexy and short, and I wanted to play up the beauty of her long, luxurious hair,” he said.
Here are Bowman's three easy steps to recreate the look:
-I started by applying Lisa Chiccine Thickening Volume Foam ($26, Lisa Chiccine) an alcohol-free styling mousse loaded with botanical extracts and certified organic ingredients, then towel-dried the hair from root to ends. I used it for this look because it’s really lightweight and gives a nice boost of natural-looking lift and volume.
-Next, I did a loose, natural-looking blow dry and sprayed a light mist of Lisa Chiccine Hold Weightless Satin Hairspray ($26, Lisa Chiccine) all over her hair. I used Hold because it’s fast drying, flexible and gives an anti-static hold. It’s great for long hair that needs to move.
-Finally, I sectioned the hair and made random waves with a medium curling iron. To finish, I used a drop of Lisa Chiccine Shine ($38, Lisa Chiccine), a great anti-frizz serum by Lisa Chiccine that doesn’t weight hair down. It also has sun filters to help prevent sun damage.
Fabulous! Now, we're set to look just like Megan Fox when we hit the town. Well, her hairstyle, I mean. The rest may or may not require plastic surgery, lol.

The Glamazons' Picks for Best-Dressed at the 2010 Oscars
The glitz! The glamour! The fashions!
We live for the Oscars red carpet each season as it's way more entertaining than the actual show. Sure, winning an Oscar for your screenplay or performance is the ultimate goal (my favorite moments were Kathyrn Bigelow's historic win for Best Director and Geoffrey Fletcher's win for Best Adapted Screenplay! Yay for amazingness behind-the-scenes).
But at the Glamazons, we feel Oscars should be handed out for the best fashions as well. Choosing the right dress, makeup, accessories and hair is no easy feat, and excellence in this regard should never go unnoticed. These five beauties below wowed us on the red carpet and totally deserve recognition. Check out our picks!
I swear Sandra Bullock knew she would win the award for Best Actress. How else can one explain this stunning, gold gown by Marchesa? The shimmery, form-fitting number hugged her curves (who knew she had such a great body?!) in the most beautiful, elegant way possible. Bullock topped it off with a sassy bright lip.
Gabourey Sidibe's brilliant blue Marchesa dress flattered her figure, and made her look more feminine than ever.
Rachel McAdams channeled Spring in an ethereal, watercolor print gown by Elie Saab. Stunning!
Finally, ruffles done right! Elizabeth Banks was a radiant beauty in a Versace gown in Fall's color du jour, gray. The soft, cascading ruffles offered a feminine touch to her structured bodice. A crystal headband and diamond studs provided the perfect accent.
Nicole Richie supported her man who DJ'ed the event, Joel Madden, in a metallic Reem Acra gown with an open back and dramatic train. I'm all for a fresh look on the Red Carpet, and Richie delivered just that by channeling 70's Hollywood glamour.
Who else should have made our list? Do you agree with our top picks for best-dressed? Discuss.

GLAM OR SHAM?: Jennifer Lopez at the 2010 Oscars
The sculptured gown included a fold at the bustine, gathered fabric at the hip and radiant sparkles all over. Subtle makeup and a messy bun complimented the look. Jewelry was simple and flattering with a diamond ring, bracelet and larger-than-life studs.
I'm on the fence. I love a Princess gown (too many Disney movies as a child) but many thought the dress looked like bubble wrap when she walked and was too similar to a wedding gown.
I think she's looks stunning. My only gripe? She could've used a tan as the white against her pale skin made her look somewhat washed out (see: Eva Mendes at the Golden Globes last year for the look done right). Oh and that brings me to another complaint. Haven't we seen this look before?
Sure, it's reminiscent of Eva, but it also resembled Amanda Seyfried who wore a gown by the same designer...on the same night. That can't be a good thing.
What's your verdict, Glamazons? GLAM or a SHAM?
