And the Oscar goes to...

Last night, while many people questioned Seth MacFarlane's bold sense of humor, there was no questioning Hollywood's taste in fashion. With the exception of the "star" of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills series Brandi Granville, (why oh why was she even there?) most of the celebs who hit the red carpet looked absolutely fantastic. Take a look at our picks for the 2013 Oscar's best dressed:

Mary's Pick: Charlize Theron. She was an absolute vision in that peplum Dior haute couture gown. We love that she rocks the pixie cut, a bold haircut which most people are terrified of. Let's also take a minute to reflect on her dance duet with Channing Tatum. What a hideous pair..

Katie's Pick: Amy Adams. The supporting actress nominee ("The Master") looked amazing in this Oscar de la Renta princess ball gown. In previous years, she has always gone for a more sleek look, but we love how this year she channeled her inner Giselle from Enchanted. 

Ashley's Pick: Jennifer Lawrence. We are so obsessed with her that she really could be wearing a paper bag and we would still be talking about how much we want to be her. Fortunately, instead of a paper bag she showed up in a stunning Dior gown that caused her fall on the way up to the stage. When asked what happened, JLaw replied, "What do you mean what happened? Look at this dress!"

Ghastly & Glam at the Grammys

The 55th Grammy Awards were last night and we could talk all day about how fabulous Carrie Underwood's Blown Away performance was, how Adam Levine and Alicia Keys need to record an entire album together and how irrelevant LL Cool J has become. But, as usual, we are going to focus on fashion. For the Golden Globes we seemed to agree that no one horribly missed the mark, so here's to you, Hollywood. Cheers. But there were so many catastrophes going on in the world of music last night, that we simply had to throw in a "Worst Dressed" category this time:

Katie's Worst Dressed Pick: J Lo. There is absolutely no aspect of this look that is flattering. J Lo is a gorgeous woman, but her Grammy looks in recent history have frankly lacked some class. What is the thing on top of her head? Also, this look is such a rip-off of Angelina Jolie's leg pop at last year's Oscars, so we can't even give her pity points for creativity.

Ashley's Worst Dressed Pick: I hate to do it, because I think Adele's music is a gift to all single ladies worldwide, but WHAT is this? Is it my grandmother's table cloth? She does get some points simply for being British and for not ever apologizing for her vivacious curves, even if she should make a public apology for the dress.

Worst Dressed Runners Up: Katy Perry (too tight, too green), Frank Ocean (who are you exactly?) and Florence Welch (clearly going for the reptilian look).

Katie's Best Dressed Pick: Natasha Bedingfield. Although she wasn't up for any awards, nor was she presenting, this look deserves a big shout out. Natasha wore Emerson by Jackie Fraser-Swans, and accessories by our girl Marina B.

Ashley's Best Dressed Pick: While we won't comment on her dating preferences, nor will you hear us really praise her music, Rihanna looked good. She went for a romantic red Azzedine Alaia dress that gown showed off her toned figure and bronzed skin (and ombre hair...had to say it).

Best Dressed Runners Up: Carrie Underwood (great detail in the dress), T Swift (just lose the bangs), and Allison Williams ("Hi JLo at the Grammy's"-Girls).

Bark! In The Park

Last night we had an event called Bark! In The Park, a premiere children's ballet and family benefit for New York Theatre Ballet. We are all breathing a large sigh of relief over here at MK because we rarely do children's events and weren't sure about how many messes and meltdowns to expect. However, after many hours of brainstorming we came up with some children's activities that were each successful in their own way. We included a make your own "pupcake" station, where kids could decorate their own bite sized cupcake. We found this great face painter, Maria Rocco, who made these amazing animal creations on some of the kids. Juan Villanueva made a large mural painting of Central Park where the kids could take different colored chalk and "make their mark on Central Park." There was this one little boy who's mother just could not get him to leave the mural. He spent the rest of the time walking around the party with chalk all over his blazer and gripping a blue and orange chalk in each hand. So adorable. We also brought in large white picnic tables where the children could decorate animal masks. There was a great candy bar, which we are still reaping the benefits of (bags upon bags of leftover candy sitting in our office.)  Our personal favorite, however, was "Nick the Balloonatic,"balloon artist extraordinare. All in all, we think the event was a huge success and hope it put NYTB on the map.
