Rebecca Ferguson In Mary Katrantzou – Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women of the Year Awards

Rebecca Ferguson attended the Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women of the Year Awards held at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London on Thursday evening.

The British singer wore a Mary Katrantzou Resort 2014 ‘Trinkolo’ dress which is a striking piece, showcasing the label at its very best; however, and I’m sad to say as Mary is one of my favourite designers, I don’t like what Rebecca has done to this look.

Her sleeveless printed party dress featuring a high round neck, a rose-and-trellis patterned bodice and a voluminous circle skirt in a contrasting pattern, which I had pictured on Poppy Delevingne or Rihanna as a performance piece, is let down by those open-toe embellished black booties which belong nowhere near this frock.

The only positive I can muster is the lip colour; just about everything else about the look is off, including – and especially – the skirt, which I will assume has a tutu underlay.

You can buy Rebecca’s Mary Katrantzou Print Full Skirt Dress from Nordstrom.com.

Noomi Rapace In Elie Saab – ‘Waltz for Monica’ Marrakech Film Festival Premiere

Noomi Rapace attended the ‘Waltz for Monica’ premiere during the 13th Marrakech International Film Festival in Morocco on Wednesday evening.

The now-blonde actress wore an Elie Saab Fall 2013 black boat-neck silk-georgette gown, accented with a gold belt, which featured a dramatic drape cascading into a train.

Adding yet more bling to her look via a selection of gold jewels, Noomi’s flawless take on modern glamour was completed with a bold red lip colour.

Who Wore Peter Pilotto Better…Julianne Hough or Jennifer Hudson?

Julianne Hough wore a Peter Pilotto Fall 2013 dress to the London Show Room LA event back in April. I gave her white pumps a pass, but the dress overwhelmed the actress’ petite frame.

Jennifer Hudson performed at the 30th Annual Walter Kaitz Foundation Fundraising Dinner in the same dress. She styled the look with a black hat, tights and black Saint Laurent ankle booties.

The busy dress swallowed Julianne, so Jennifer’s stage look wins this one for me.

You can buy their Peter Pilotto ‘Caio’ Dress from
Net-A-Porter.com, Matches Fashion US and Matches Fashion UK.

Naomie Harris In Alexander McQueen – ‘Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom’ Royal Premiere

Naomie Harris attended the royal premiere of ‘Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom’ alongside Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge this evening.

I have been gushing over Naomie for a while now, and she continues to prove that the high-praise is justified in her Alexander McQueen gown.

The black strapless gown with gold embroidery enriching the peplum detailing may just be her best look yet, and I’m not just referring to this promo tour.

It fits to perfection; she oozes glamour and sex appeal, and the impeccable styling, including the hair and makeup, puts this on another level of brilliance.

This just might be a late contender for my BDOTY list.

You can buy Naomie’s Alexander McQueen Strapless Peplum Gown from Neiman Marcus.

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge In Roland Mouret – ‘Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom’ Royal Premiere

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge (Queen of Repeats) attended the royal premiere for ‘Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom’ this evening in London’s Leicester Square.

She wore a Roland Mouret Fall 2009 long-sleeved ivory gown featuring a demure side slit which was a repeat.

You may remember that she wore this dress to the Thirty Club dinner back in May last year.

This time she styled the look with a statement necklace and black accessories.

I wanted to rejoice this repeat because of the rare sighting of the ponytail and necklace (even though it doesn’t quite work with the dress for me), but when scrolling down she lost me at the black Mulberry clutch.

Both the clutch and shoes are way too heavy for this look.

Her styling of this look was far superior the first time around.

Now I understand why her last repeat was exactly the same from head to toe.

Sandra Bullock In Carolina Herrera – ‘Gravity’ Tokyo Premiere

Following yesterday’s red-hot press conference, Sandra Bullock took to the red carpet again this evening for the ‘Gravity’ premiere in Tokyo, Japan.

This time she opted for a very elegant Carolina Herrera Resort 2014 sculptural strapless silk faille navy-blue dress featuring a flounce skirt with a contrast sheer floral lace underlay.

I really like the simplicity of the look, but the black satin Charlotte Olympia platform pumps feel so heavy with the delicate hemline. The look book heels would’ve been perfect.

A single silver bangle, matte nude lips and a wavy updo provided the finishing touches.

Are the shoes a deal-breaker?
