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.

Looking Back at 'Suddenly Seymour' with Mandy Moore & Adam Pascal

Back in March of 2002, prime time viewers tuned in to catch Broadway's Best on Bravo, a regular concert series featuring music's biggest stars performing some of Broadway's biggest and most-loved hits. Joining a cast of veteran musicians including Trisha Yearwood and Darius Rucker, 17 year old Mandy Moore delivered one of the series' most memorable performances as she took the stage with Rent's Adam Pascal. 

Performing "Suddenly Seymour" from the musical version of "Little Shop of Horrors" Mandy's beautiful soprano offers a stunning contrast to the one-of-a-kind vocal talents of Adam Pascal. Beloved by fans for its rich sentiment and heartwarming lyrics, this Broadway classic is reinvigorated in the capable hands of these two amazing performers.

Enjoy!

Mandy Moore Sings McCartney's "Let Me Roll It"

Since the 2007 release of her fifth studio album, entitled "Wild Hope," Mandy Moore has made little secret of her many musical influences. Inspired by icons of both the folk and rock genres, Mandy's musical heritage is paved by the likes of Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Cat Stevens and Paul McCartney.

Given her incredible voice, we were tremendously excited to discover Mandy's recent performance of Paul McCartney and Wing's 1974 hit, "Let Me Roll It." Filmed in front of a live audience, that included your MM Bloggers, it was an unexpected treat for us and the sell-out crowd at New York's Highline Ballroom.  

Incidentally, this is not the first time that Mandy has paid homage to popular music. Back in 2003, Mandy Moore released "Coverage," a studio album dedicated exclusively to popular covers. Paying tribute to a dozen of her favorite musicians, the album featured hits like "I Feel the Earth Move," "Moonshadow," and "Help Me."
