The Official Candidates Of The Binibining Pilipinas 2012

I know that the names and pictures of the candidates for this year’s Binibining Pilipinas have been posted all around the blogosphere but I thought of still posting ’em for reference. At first, I thought this year’s  such a disaster but after the girls got all glammed-up, it turned out to be another strong batch of hopefuls! Rumor has it that there’ll be five crowns at stake come coronation night. I would have to confirm that before I post any updates about the pageant 🙂

My 2012 Oscars Best Dressed!

Another night of glamour came upon us as the stars of the good ‘ol Hollywood took the red carpet by storm in this year’s Academy Awards! Here are my Top 10 Choices for this year’s Oscars….

10th Place goes to my favorite Emma Stone in a fuchsia Giambattista Valli gown and Louis Vuitton jewels! The Help star never fails to impress me and this time, it ain’t the ultimate dress but she made the top 10! Congrats bb…

9th. Possible Best Actress winner and Emma Stone’s co-star  Viola Davis is wearing an emerald green Vera Wang creation and she’s not wearing any weave! Girl.is.rocking.it! Bravo to you Viola!

8th. Jennifer Lopez can do no wrong with this champagne strap Zuhair Murad dress with a peek-a-boo sleeves! Welcome back to the list ‘ma!

7th. The girl with the dragon tattoo Rooney Mara is still as shy as her character and it’s working on the red carpet! I love her in this white sculptured Givenchy Haute Couture floor length gown.

6th. Let’s face it, Angelina’s the closest thing to perfection! In this Versace dress, LaJolie’s A+ power and stature is undeniable!

5th. This is the 2nd year of Jessica on my list and she’s doing really great! She’s nominated tonight for The Help she’s wearing this amazing hand-embroidered Alexander McQueen gown. She looks exsquisite this lady!

4th. George Clooney’s lady love stole the show by showing up in a gold Marchesa gown. Girl look so godly she’s untouchable!

3rd. I’m not really a fan of Michelle William’s pixie hair cut so I tend to ignore her from the past awards season but tonight is different! She’s glowing and channeling Marilyn Monroe’s sheer elegance and beauty in this Louis Vuitton red peplum gown!

2nd.  Milla Jovovich is wearing a one-shoulder Elie  Saab couture with matching retro hair and red lips! This is how a kick-ass red carpet should look like!

After news erupted that the reigning Australia’s Next Top Model Montana Cox was signed by IMG in Paris and Milan, everyone jumped off their seat waiting for shows where Montana will have her debut either in Milan or Paris. But lo and behold!

2012 Grammy Awards Best Dressed!

My internet connection was giving me headache and almost gave up with this year’s  Best Dressed list but I figured that I cannot ignore these beautiful women who showed up beautifully and all dressed up like winners. (sad though because the day before the Grammys – Feb. 11, the legend, the voice, the music icon WHITNEY HOUSTON left us – such a shame really but the show must go on and so our list)
 Wow. I am totally inlove with Guiliana Rancic tonight. This simple little black dress with matching black and gold heels are just a–mazing!

Heiress Paris Hilton in Basil Soda. She maybe irrelevant but she sure looked oh so fine!

Carrie Underwood in Gomez-Garcia. This is a fine number, even with the sparkle I still find it a bit subdued but nevertheless one of the best of the night 🙂

Ann V *speechless* oh, is that a dress? Lucky Maroon 5 guy!

I honestly have no idea why Kate’s here but she’s totally rocking this look! *salivating* and I’m not complaining at all!

Now, this is Adele in perfect elegance wearing Giorgio Armani! Her divine face could pull off anything. Oh, by the way – Congrats for sweeping the all your nominations! Well deserved mama!

Fergie’s wearing this sheer lace gown from the Jean Paul Gaultier couture collection! Fergie never looked this good!

I just totally love what Rihanna was rocking last night! This Giorgio Armani dress totally gave this girl gone bad a super slick-elegant look! I love you RiRi and you know that!

Katy Perry is wearing this dreamy Elie Saab Couture gown. It was the perfect post-divorce look. Mama Kitty working it big time!!!

◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊

 I’m not really a big fan of  T.Swift’s fashion sense but she totally blew me away with this Zuhair Murad number! The East-inspired dress is perfection with its dragon embroidery making Swift, oh well – The Ultimate Best Dressed Of The Night!

Battle Of The Titans At The Binibining Pilipinas 2012!

Each year, girls from all over the country flocks in Araneta Center, Cubao to submit their application to the most prestigious and oldest national beauty pageant in the Philippines  headed by Mrs. Stella Marquez de Araneta, the Binibining Pilipinas. All of these girls are hoping to be part of the official candidates of this pageant that send girls to international pageants such as Miss Universe, Miss International and Miss World (until in 2011 when the Miss World Organization decided to grant its franchise to another pageant director that conceived the first Miss World-Philippines Beauty Pageant )

After the great success of Venus Raj and Shamcey Supsup from the past two edition of the Miss Universe – where both placed as 4th runner-up and 3rd runner-up in 2010 and 2011 respectively, pageant pundits are more than ever eager to see the girls that will follow their footsteps.

Some of the girls rumored to join this year’s edition are ABS-CBN talent and Channel V VJ Megan Young, Hotel singer and model, Ali Forbes, TV5’s Arci Munoz and the two runners-up from last year, Janine Tugonon and  MJ Lastimosa – both hoping to do a Dianne Necio this year.

This year is expected to surpass last year’s edition and the battle for the two grand slam crowns (Universe and International) is said to be a bloody one come finals night. Each camp managing some of the girls who are said to be joining are secretly watching each other’s back to measure the caliber of the girls that they will be fielding for the screening.

If you think that you’ve got the guts and the goods to take over the Universe and the International beauty arena – the screening is extended until February 7, 2012. Will this year live to its hype? Let’s wait and see….

10. I’m quite a big fan of Glee’s Dianna Agron‘s beauty and this ruffled Carolina Herrera dress looked so feminine as ever in her! I just love it!

9. The Big Bang Theory starlet Kaley Cuoco in a strapless mint Romona Keveza gown – she just look amazing in this number!

6. Emma Stone’s my number pick during the Golden Globes and this time, she’s almost halfway there with this Alexander McQueen’s dress that screams 50’s! I love her style!!!!

 5. Sofia Vergara – it’s not as epic as her Vera Wang dress at the Globes, Sofia still brings magic to this Marchesa gown that elongates her perfect body even more!

4. Jessica Chastain in a cerulian blue Calvin Klein blue stood out from the crowd the second time around after her Givenchy number at the Globe! Well done Jess!

3. Rose Byrne was just incredible tonight in this Elie Saab dress while sporting a bob! You got me Rose!

 2. I’d really love to give it to Viola Davis  but she already won the biggie so she’d settle for second this time!!! Her white chiffon Marchesa dress looked fab!!!
