Greenlighted by ABC just last month, the series comes on the heels of wildly successful appearances over the years on such series as "Scrubs," "Entourage," and "Grey's Anatomy."
Described as a "family comedy," "Us and Them" is based on the "inherent conflict that exists between the families you grow up in and the ones we make as adults," told through the perspective of Mandy's newlywed character Anne, and her husband Ben.
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.
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.
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!!
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!
