Michelle Obama In Carolina Herrera – Charlottenburg Palace Berlin Dinner

First Lady Michelle Obama, President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel attended the dinner given in honour of the President at the Orangerie of Schloss Charlottenburg palace in Berlin, Germany this evening.

Obama is visiting Berlin for the first time during his presidency and his speech at the Brandenburg Gate is set to be the highlight. Obama will be speaking close to the 50th anniversary of the historic speech by then U.S. President John F. Kennedy in Berlin in 1963, during which he proclaimed the famous sentence: ‘Ich bin ein Berliner.’

Michelle wore a Carolina Herrera Pre-Fall 2013 dress for the occasion.

The sleeveless wave pattern jacquard party dress featuring grosgrain bow accented straps, a high squared neck, a drop waist; and pleating at the skirt was styled with black kitten heels.

I have loved a lot of Michelle red carpet choices; however, I’m on the fence with this one.

It’s the bows which given me a feeling that this dress may have been better suited to the likes of Camilla Belle, Emmy Rossum or Kiernan Shipka.

She would’ve looked better in the sheath version of this dress – sans bows.

Olivia Palermo For Carrera y Carrera

Olivia Palermo appears in the ad campaign for Carrera y Carrera for the third year in a row.

The socialite, who is the muse for the prestigious jewelry firm, wore jewels inspired by the splendour of the Spanish Empire for Carrera y Carrera’s ‘Tesoros del Imperio’ collection, so it’s no wonder she looks so regal in the campaign.

Olivia shared, “I think this collection from Carrera y Carrera is absolutely beautiful. I found out what the inspiration was a year ago, and now that I see the final product, I’m very pleased… Both the rings and the earrings this season are very wearable.”

I’m sure we will see Olivia wearing these exquisite pieces accessorizing alongside her favoured feathered clutches on a red carpet soon.

Solange Knowles In Mary Katrantzou – Superjam at That Tent

Solange Knowles performed onstage during Superjam at That Tent during Day 2 of the 2013 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee on Friday.

The singer wore a second Mary Katrantzou Spring 2013 look in a row.

Her previous look was a stamp-print dress, so on this occasion she selected a currency-print chainmail short-sleeved dress, which shimmered under the stage lights.

Adding some height to her look, she not only wore black-and-silver Sophia Webster ‘Yayoi’ sandals, but she also twisted her braids into a regal updo.

It’s fair to say the majority of you really disliked Solange’s last Katrantzou look, so how does this one fare?

Katy Perry For Vogue US July 2013

Katy Perry looks beautiful gracing her first ever cover for American Vogue – shot by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz – wearing a Rodarte Fall 2013 floral dress.

The 28-year-old singer can be seen in a slew of beautiful looks, including a remarkable red lace Valentino Haute Couture gown (you may remember Adele wore the short version to the Grammys), a floral Dolce & Gabbana gown, a red satin Zac Posen strapless gown, a black-and-red Prada look, plus a Michael Kors floral bustier and ball skirt.

Throughout her shoot, the one thing that remains constant is her Revlon red lip colour, a trend we’ve seen on the red carpet.

In her interview Katy talks about making music, Russell Brand and John Mayer.

On making music: “When I am in between records, sometimes I doubt myself. I’ll be like: Did I just get lucky, or did I mass-manipulate the world into thinking that seven songs were worth a number-one position? And then I go back into the studio and I start writing, and the true essential oil of who I am comes bubbling back up and reminds me that it’s always been inside of me, that nobody can take this away no matter what comment anyone makes. It’s going to be there because it’s what I was born with and it’s what I’ve worked on my whole life.”

On Russell Brand: “He’s a very smart man, and I was in love with him when I married him. Let’s just say I haven’t heard from him since he texted me saying he was divorcing me December 31, 2011. At first when I met him he wanted an equal, and I think a lot of times strong men do want an equal, but then they get that equal and they’re like, I can’t handle the equalness. He didn’t like the atmosphere of me being the boss on tour. So that was really hurtful, and it was very controlling, which was upsetting.”
On what caused their breakup: “I felt a lot of responsibility for it ending, but then I found out the real truth, which I can’t necessarily disclose because I keep it locked in my safe for a rainy day. I let go and I was like: This isn’t because of me; this is beyond me. So I have moved on from that.”

On her on-again, off-again relationship with John Mayer: “I was madly in love with him. I still am madly in love with him. [...] Beautiful mind, tortured soul.”

Kristen Wiig In Prabal Gurung – ‘Imogene’ Paris Premiere

Kristen Wiig attended the Paris premiere of her latest movie ‘Imogene’ on Tuesday as part of the Champs Elysees Film Festival.

The funny gal wore a white-and-black Prabal Gurung draped three-quarter-sleeve dress featuring the curved cut-out detail synonymous with the designer’s Fall 2013 collection.

I love the uniqueness of her on-trend dress, but I am disappointed by her caramel pumps.

A black-and-white graphic pump would have perfected the look. Just imagine what Sophia Webster studded sandals would’ve brought to this look, or even the Saint Laurent toe-cap pumps if she wanted something more conservative..

A Giuseppe Zanotti clutch with gold panels, kohl-rimmed eyes and a nude glossy lip colour completed her look.

Do her shoes get a thumbs up or down from you?
