Jessica Simpson In Carolina Herrera – 27th Annual Footwear News Achievement Awards

Jessica Simpson joined Crystal Renn at the 27th Annual Footwear News Achievement Awards, hosted yesterday at the IAC Building in New York City.

The entertainer selected a black-and-red Carolina Herrera rose jacquard cocktail dress that may have been a smidge too small through the cleavage-confining bodice.

Thee frock itself was fine enough, but factor in the compromised silhouette, along with the black platform pumps, a long mane of icy-blonde locks and a significant smokey eye, the look lost some of its appeal to me.

Were you let down by the styling, as well?

Amanda Seyfried In Zac Posen – Cle de peau BEAUTE ‘Muse’ Party

Amanda Seyfried was pretty in pink as the special guest at the Clé de peau BEAUTE ‘Muse’ party today in Seoul, South Korea.

The actress, who is the face of the Japanese cosmetic company, continued her softly hued, pink streak that started earlier in the day at a press conference.

For the party, she wore a slightly more vibrant, blush-hued Zac Posen dress that brought a bit more radiance to her alabaster complexion. The corset-inspired stitching of the strapless, sweetheart-neckline frock also provided more structure and finesse than her earlier look. Here, the colour was sweet, but the silhouette was sexy.

Diamond earrings and a bracelet added tasteful sparkle, however I do wish she had worn more inspired heels, rather than the nude, chunky platform sandals which seemed at odds with the whispered glamour of the look.

Her deep red lip was still intact, whilst she swept her blonde curls to one side for an extra shot of drama.

Do you approve of this statement, or is the pink still too pale for your liking?

Richard Armitage In Hugo Boss – ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug’ LA Premiere

Richard Armitage was at ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug’ Los Angeles premiere on Monday at the TCL Chinese Theatre in California, where he also joined Orlando Bloom and Benedict Cumberbatch on the red carpet.

The British actor held his own, striking a handsome stance in a slate-grey Hugo Boss three-piece suit that actually worked to enhance his baby blues.

An eggplant tie with tie clip, along with patent mahogany loafers, injected a more interesting colour story here, whereas black pairings would have been far too expected.

After seeing his co-stars Orlando and Benedict, how do you rate Richard’s look?

04.12.13 Runway To Red Carpet

Crystal Renn In Alberta Ferretti – 27th Annual Footwear News Achievement Awards

Crystal Renn attended the 27th Annual Footwear News Achievement Awards, held yesterday at the IAC Building in New York City.

The model found inspiration in Alberta Ferretti’s Fall 2011 collection, donning a taupe overlay dress embellished with allover, floral-inspired beading and embroidery. It was only half recognizable to the design that originally took to the runway, having been modified with a new, off-the-shoulder V-neckline and nude, full-body lining.

Adding to the glint of the gown, she accessorized with flower-shaped, metal earrings and a crystal-studded clutch. At an event such as this, no ordinary pair of shoes would do. Crystal stepped up with her Gianvito Rossi gold glitter-flecked sandals.

An exaggerated, Cleopatra cat-eye and an intricate, tightly braided updo completed her ornate entrance.

Despite the highly decorative overtones, the look is still seamlessly balanced with its subdued metallic elegance. Do you agree?

Amanda Seyfried In Valentino – The ‘Cle De Peau Beaute’ Promo Event

As one of the beauty brand’s ambassadors, Amanda Seyfried attended the Cle De Peau Beaute press conference in Seoul, South Korea on Wednesday.

The star went with a lighter-than-light palette, opting to wear a pale pink lace Valentino dress with scallop-trimmed sleeves and hem, which she accessorized with nude peep-toe heels.

There was real concern here that the combo of pale tones would wash her out; fortunately, her bright red lipstick came to the rescue with a burst of much-needed colour. For me, a fuchsia or pink lip would have worked better — as is, it strikes a very fine line between necessary and too stark a contrast.

Soft, curled tresses completed the look.

Does Amanda’s ensemble do justice to soft-hue styling, or is it just a little too washed out?
