25.02.09 Who Wore It Better?

Who Wore RM by Roland Mouret Better? Rachel Weisz or Jessica Alba


Rachel Weisz was the first to wear this black RM by Roland Mouret Resort 2009 dress, which can be worn as a one-shouldered dress, or off-the-shoulder.

Rachel wowed you all when she walked the red carpet at the London Film Festival, for The Brothers Bloom Gala Screening so much, that you voted her Best Dressed Of The Week.

Jessica Alba also wore this dress, when she attended the Vanity Fair Oscar party on Sunday night.

Like Rachel, Jessica wore her dress as a one-shouldered dress, but I didn’t like the way she constructed the neckline, so Rachel wins this for me.

24.02.09 In Her Closet

In Drew Barrymore’s Closet – Lanvin & Giambattista Valli


Whilst on the campaign trail for her hit movie, He’s Just Not That Into You, Drew Barrymore wowed me with her red carpet and TV appearances looks.

Her Lanvin strapless dress, was beautiful on her. I loved the nude satin sash on the neckline and silhouette the dress gave her. She really looked like she had fun on the red carpet that night with her co-stars.

This dress is currently on pre-order from Luisaviaroma.com for €3,307.

It looks even better with the necklace, which we saw Claire Danes wear to the Film Independent Spirit Awards this weekend.

The look was completed with Miu Miu heels.


I fell in love with Drew Barrymore when she wore this dress on Jay Leno’s show earlier this month. So much so, she got my vote for Best Dressed that week.

The Giambattista Valli sequined lace sheath dress is the epitome of chic, and her overall look impressed me, and I loved her elegant updo.

This dress is also available on pre-order from Luisaviaroma.com for €6,500.

These were two great looks for a girl who is usually more comfortable in khaki combats.

24.02.09 Social Events of The Week

11th Annual Costume Designers Guild Awards

It has been a very long while since we saw Luca Luca on the red carpet, which is surprising because he makes such great pieces.

Emmanuelle Chriqui wore a white gown from the Resort 2009 collection, which was off-the-shoulder, but also had a silver halter strap.

Melissa George opted for an ethereal Emanuel Ungaro Resort 2009 off-the-shoulder gown.

Kristin Davis was wearing an adorable red Donna Karan dress.

I love Kristin, but we seem to see this full-skirted look on her a lot.

She completed her look with Christian Louboutin peep-toes, and a Swarovski clutch.

Tichina Arnold has been making a lot of right choices lately. I adore this pink sleeveless gown.

This is a very chic, and sophisticate choice for the actress.

Taraji P. Henson wore this smoky blue one-shouldered Michael Kors gown, with fan shaped Mary Norton clutch.

Hair and make-up are flawless as usual.

Jennie Garth went for a retro vibe wearing a gold shimmering Tadashi plunging gown.

Tadashi Shoji Fall 2009


Before sadly leaving New York last week, my last show was the Tadashi Shoji Fall 2009 presentation.

This collection was mostly about cocktail dresses. We were treated to ruffled skirts, halters, one-shouldered, puffy sleeves, satin and strapless cocktail dresses in a range of vibrant colours.

Rose, violet, teal, acid green, red, white and black were the colours used alongside prints, that had a very summery feeling for a Fall collection.

The few gowns that were presented all had a very sleek streamlined silhouette excluding the billowing printed gown above.

If you are looking for something fun and flirty, without having to carry around a long train. This is collection for you. Young actresses will love collection.


Here are just some of my show notes, that I collected over the week. They give a very detailed description of the pieces presented, and help understand more about the fabrics and processes used to create the pieces. A printed cocktail dress then becomes, a Geranium & rose print silk taffeta cascade front dress.

24.02.09 Runway To Red Carpet

Debra Messing Hosts The 11th Annual Costume Designers Guild Awards


Debra Messing was the host of the 11th Annual Costume Designers Guild Awards in LA last week.

The ceremony paid tribute to the unsung heroes of Hollywood – the costume designers.

The actress made an impressive 4 costume changes including Dolce & Gabbana and Giambattista Valli and two couture gowns by Elie Saab and Zuhair Murad.

I personally love her in the Dolce & Gabbbana gown.

Ports 1961 Fall 2009


My second to last show at New York Fashion Week was Tia Cibani’s Ports 1961 Fall 2009 presentation. This collection took us on an exotic journey, and that journey was to India.

A Red Baraar Festival!, a Punjabi band started off the show, to get us in the mood.

The models walked the runway with the soothing beats in the background, wearing clothes inspired from Tia’s recent Indian travels. Long, short and glorious lame Sari dresses, Achkan coats, cropped Angarkha jackets, Salwar pants and a stunning ruby ombre jewelled dress were presented.

The exotic colour palette included ruby, henna red, saffron orange, jasmine white, moonstone grey and begonia pink.

The collection took a sophisticated approach on the vibrancy of India’s regal past.

I think a lot of these pieces will be timeless.
