The ever-radiant Mandy Moore appeared at the 2011 Hollywood Style Awards in Los Angeles, CA November 14th, 2011. 

Joining Eva Longoria, Zoe Saldana, Chloe Moretz, and others on the red carpet of Smashbox Studios, Mandy accompanied Tinseltown in recognizing the behind-the-scenes influencers and celebrities whose efforts lead the way where fashion is concerned in Hollywood. 

Sporting Temperley London's Spring Summer 2012 Martha Dress and sideswept bangs, Mandy complimented the ensemble with a pair of Andrew Meyer palladium earrings and Brian Atwood heels.

Presenting one of the nightly awards, Mandy was thrilled to recognize longtime friend, Molly Stern. A Hollywood staple whose resume includes CW's America's Next Top Model and films ranging from "Just Like Heaven" to "Killing Me Softly," Stern took home the award for Makeup Artist of the Year.

Mandy Moore Speaks at 'Power of One Percent' Gala

Actress Mandy Moore joined Barbara P. Bush and Ronan Farrow for a star-studded gala at D.C.'s famous Newseum, recently.

Dubbed "The Power of One Percent" to mark the percentage of the United States budget spent on civilian foreign aid, the October 3rd event celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the government bureau primarily responsible for administering foreign aid. 

Serving as Population Services International (PSI) Global Ambassador, Mandy participated in a keynote discussion with Ronan Farrow, U.S. Department of State Special Advisor to the Secretary of State for Global Youth Issues (and son of director Woody Allen and Mia Farrow). Touting the global health benefits of civilian foreign aid, Mandy urged those in attendance to protect against burdensome Capitol Hill funding cuts that could do harm to global health initiatives worldwide.

Joining Barbara P. Bush and PSI CEO Karl Hoffman at a press reception earlier in the day, Mandy took the time to also reflect on a recent health mission to Cameroon. Looking back, she stresses that foreign aid is a good investment. "My basic message," she said, "is for Congress to stay the course on funding global health."

Keep fighting the good fight, Mandy!

Mandy Moore Stuns in Monique Lhuillier!

Dubbed a "surprising show-stopper" by the Los Angeles Times, Mandy Moore's "eye-catching" gown left critics speechless on the red carpet at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards.

Indeed, as the superlatives flowed, so did Mandy's second dress, in a floral-inspired Oscar-night revelation designed for Mandy's primetime performance alongside Tangled co-star, Zachary Levi.

In true form for the fashion-forward Disney princess, Mandy's fashion was in a word, idylic. Known for often playing coy when it comes to favoring designers, the red carpet was just another stylish example of Mandy's latest taste for one of L.A.'s hottest designers, Monique Lhuillier.

Hitting the red carpet in January, Mandy rocked Lhuillier's sensational style in a plum-colored floorlength, strapless dress at the 2011 Critics Choice Awards. Paired with a pair of chandelier earrings and a low-swept updo, Mandy made a statement described by one critic as "classic red carpet style."

Attending the 2011 Golden Globes just days later, Mandy dazzled critics in a Lhuillier-designed, mermaid-inspired blue gown. Paired with her classic brunette waves and a natural glow, Mandy chose classic Chopard jewelry to complete the one-of-a-kind look.

Looking beautiful, as always, Mandy!

Mandy Moore Dazzles at Oscars 2011!

Bedazzling fans on Hollywood's biggest and brightest stage, Mandy Moore rocked the 83rd Annual Academy Awards, Sunday night.

Oscar himself had to be impressed by Mandy's red carpet stunner by noted designer Monique Lhuillier. Effortless yet exquisite, Mandy's pale jewel-encrusted gown caught even the most vocal commentators off-guard with a fitted-aesthetic that one critic described as "hand-dipped."

A featured performer on Awards night, Mandy followed one show-stopper with yet another as she donned a Lhuillier-designed, floral-inspired blue strapless gown for a rendition of "I See the Light" with her "Tangled" co-star, Zachary Levi. 

An immense honor for the 26 year old starlet, Mandy's performance also celebrated a well-deserved Oscar nomination for Disney's landmark 50th animated feature film, "Tangled," released November 2010.

MandyMooreBlog.com Presents Mandy Moore's Wrap-Up: October!

As we prepare to dedicate another exclusive edition of Mandy Moore's Monthly Wrap-Up, we'd like to first congratulate Ryan Adams on a great 36th birthday. May there be many Moore to come!

With the release of Tangled less than two months away, October started with a bang as Mandy shot an eight page spread for the November 2010 issue of O Magazine. Sporting a classy blend of Fall/Winter styles from the likes of Jason Wu, Ralph Lauren and D&G, Mandy channeled an outdoorsy vibe with earthier pieces from Woolrich and J Crew. "Fall has always been my favorite time," noted the brown-haired beauty."That sense of renewal is so engrained from school."

On another note, Mandy paid homage to prime time TV this month as she appeared for the second time on ABC's hit show, Grey's Anatomy. Airing October 28th, the episode features a documentary film crew's visit to Seattle Grace just six months after the dramatic shooting spree that closed out season 6. Appearing for a final course of treatment after a lengthy series of traveling, Mandy makes a point to remind Dr. Miranda Bailey that she has learned that "life is short." Thought-provoking and at the same heart-breaking, this is one episode not to be missed.

October was also the month for interviews as Mandy appeared for a late night chat with Jimmy Kimmel on ABC. Dressed to kill in a little black dress, Mandy waxed poetic on the "cathartic" nature of vacuuming, and a Halloween potluck involving the arrival of some very embarrassing "herbal"-laced cookies. Discussing the upcoming release of Disney's Tangled, Kimmel celebrated the film with a showcase of several signing Rapunzel dolls, now available at Disney's online store. Despite being one of our favorites, Jimmy Kimmel Live was just one of Mandy's scheduled appearances. She was also featured in an exclusive article on SheKnows.com.

As the month came and went, we could barely contain ourselves over the release of several new previews for Disney's latest animated feature film, Tangled! The film even earned its very own attraction at Disneyland in Anaheim, CA which was kicked off by none other than Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi!

Don't miss its debut in theaters, November 24th, 2010!!

MandyMooreBlog.com Presents Mandy Moore's Wrap-Up: September!

Stop the presses: MandyMooreBlog.com is gearing up for another exciting edition of Mandy Moore's Monthly Wrap-Up!

The gorgeous Mandy Moore stood up in a big way in September, as she joined Natasha Bedingfield, Katie Couric, Laura Linney, and a host of other stars on Stand Up To Cancer 2010, airing September 10th. A participant in 2008's inaugural cancer fundraiser, Mandy helped raise more than $100 million dollars during the live hour-long event, simulcast on most major networks throughout the United States. Mandy, who has taken part in a number of health campaigns of late, also appeared on camera to make a personal plea for research dollars towards her personal area of emphasis, cervical cancer.

On the heels of a bit of successful fundraising, Mandy continued the month with the exciting release of the full-length trailer for her soon-to-be blockbuster hit, Tangled! Described as "adorbs" by gossip queen Perez Hilton, the promo is a smashing tapestry of action, comedy, and romance. Plus, how cute is Mandy's character!

As this month came to a close, we were nothing but short of impressed to find Mandy fighting malaria in the Central African Republic with Nothing But Nets (NBN). A grassroots organization involved in malaria prevention through advocacy, procurement, and distribution of free nets, NBN has recently posted a number of photos and updates through Facebook and Twitter. Incidentally, we couldn't help but notice they've dubbed their life-saving nets as Moore Nets (video). 

It's good to be back. And don't forget to add MandyMooreBlog.com on Facebook and Twitter!
