GLAM OR SHAM?: January Jones in Carolina Herrera at the 2011 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Now THIS is a red-carpet worthy look. January Jones wowed everyone at the Sag Awards in a black and gold lace Carolina Herrera mermaid gown.

Ladylike, regal and exquisite, the gown highlighted January's amaze figure without being too over-the-top or racy (a la her Versace dress at The Golden Globes).

Paired with a beautiful blonde updo and shimmery gold makeup, January was the picture of elegance last night. Old Hollywood glamour wins over swimsuit siren any day---well, maybe just at Awards Shows.

What do you think of her look? Glam or Sham? I think it's everything and more.

Saks Fifth Avenue Will Carry Plus-Size Chanel, YSL, Valentino...No, Seriously...

The high-end designer brands that could previously only fit mannequins, and other petite specimens, will now be available in larger sizes at Saks Fifth Avenue, according to Racked.com.

Expect to see designs by Chanel, YSL, Dolce & Gabbbana, Akris, Carolina Herrera, Escada, St. John, Donna Karan, Oscar de la Renta, Max Mara, YSL, Fendi, Roberto Cavalli, Alexander McQueen, Michael Kors and Valentino in...wait for it...wait for it...a size 10! and maybe some 14's! a few 16's!

Even some select designers will stock pieces in sizes up to 20!

Sounds too good to be true? Well, the downside is the quantity, or lack of, as they'll only stock one of each size for certain pieces.

Still, it is a baby step in the right direction.

Will you shop the new plus-size section of Saks?

Kisses,

Actress Cynthia Nixon opted for a classic and elegant Carolina Herrera gown for the 'Sex and the City II' premiere. The black hue, sleek silhouette and dramatic details (ruffles and train) made for a timeless red-carpet look.


Cynthia's chic, minimalist gown was accented by loose strawberry blonde curls, a crystal leaf pin and drop earrings. Her heavy black eyeliner and sparkling clutch glam up the look.

What do you think of Cynthia's elegant, understated look? Glam or a Sham?
