Social Events Of The Week

K. Brunini Jewelry Viewing Party, LA

♥ ♥ ♥

It’s so good to see Marisa Tomei back on the red carpet. Her red taffeta belted Christian Dior by Yves Saint Laurent dress with oversized bow from Decades, is quite simply outstanding.

The dress is from Yves Saint Laurent’s first ever Dior collection from 1958. It must have been a real honour for Marisa to wear this dress.

I love her hair, and the minimal jewelry. I’m gushing, as this is one of her best looks so far this year.

Completing her look with Brian Atwood heels, Marisa is a very late entrant for Best Dressed Of The Week.

What Comes Around Goes Around’s Fall 2009 Collection Launch, LA

It’s a busy week for Lisa Rinna who arrived at this event wearing a gorgeous summertime yellow Jean Patou dress. I love the oversized collar.

It seems like only yesterday a slender Nicole Richie announced her pregnancy, now she’s already blooming.

The starlet wore tight Jet jeans, an ivory fitted top, and a canary yellow satin Ossie Clark cardigan.

Wearing a mini black dress, Erin Wasson is already sporting the thigh-high boots trend for next season.

Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman anyone?

“West Side Story” Broadway Revival Opening Night, New York

I had never seen this Marchesa Resort 2008 gown from the back, and I’m in love the open back gold embroidered detailing.

Josefina Scaglione wears this gown so well.

“Fast & Furious” London Premiere

Yes it’s fairly warm in London, but their was really no need for Michelle Rodriguez to wear sunglasses on the red carpet. Once inside she tucked them into her white chiffon Pamella Roland v-neck gown.

Why does she insist on spoiling every pretty gown given to her?

Jordana Brewster outshines her co-star in a pretty floral print Monique Lhuillier dress.

“Fast & Furious” France Photocall

Jordana Brewster fitted LBD was from the Ports 1961 collection. I’m glad she made the effort to look fabulous on the red carpet unlike….

…Michelle Rodriguez. Why did she even bother turning up?

“Sugar” LA Premiere

There is nothing I find appealing about Jessica Alba’s head-to-toe Miu Miu look.

The geometric print top is not working for me.

20.03.09 In Her Closet

In Nicole Kidman’s Closet – L’Wren Scott Dress


Nicole Kidman’s sheath is called the L’Wren Scott Headmistress dress.

It’s funny how this dress is called the Headmistress dress, because that’s very much the look Nicole is giving off, as she stands at the podium with a stern look.

Nicole wore this dress when she attended a Say No to Violence against Women conference at the United Nations in New York last year.

This is very much a power dress. It’s impeccably tailored, and would be the perfect addition to your smart office closet. I love the white collar, as it add a bit of personality to the dress.

The dress is available to purchase from Net-A-Porter’s US site for $2,895, or the international site for £1,625/€1,994.


You may also recognise this dress from Madonna’s W magazine ‘Blame it On Rio’ shoot.

Kevan Hall Fall 2009


Because of the bad economy their isn’t an official Mercedes-Benz L.A. Fashion Week. This didn’t stop Kevan Hall showing off his Fall 2009 collection yesterday. His collection was shown as part of a charity event with The Colleagues, benefiting The Children’s Institute.

Kevan presented First Lady worthy sheaths, along with structured dresses in tweed and wool.

The red carpet gown had a colour palette of earthy shades of ruby, bronze and brown.

The stand-out piece was the red one-shouldered gown.


Molly Sims wore a bright cranberry coloured one-shouldered dress custom-designed by Kevan Hall for the event. The dress was decorated with real, freeze-dried cranberries to promote a new cranberry body wash by Dial. I kid you not.


This event was full of colourful pieces and Angie Harmon kept that going wearing a fuschia pink satin dress.

This colour was all over the Fall 2009 runways, so Ms Harmon is getting on the trend train very early.


I’m not sure about those two shades of blue Garcelle Beauvais is wearing with her yellow cowl-neck dress. The shoes would have been enough.


Lisa Rinna wore a belted taffeta v neck shimmering green dress. This is a surprisingly sophisticated look for Lisa, after her shameless campaign to get herself back on Melrose Place.


Virginia Madsen wore a form-fitting leopard print Kevan Hall Fall 2008 dress, with gold strappy sandals, and a Mary Norton clutch. Gorgeous.

20.03.09 Social Events of The Week

Missoni Cocktail Party


Katie Grand -the former editor of Pop Magazine – ALWAYS gives us the wow factor. This woman is not afraid of fashion.

Not only is she wearing a wooly mammoth fuschia pink Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2009 coat, but she also has Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 bunny ears, as a hair accessory.

Her amazing look is complete with Louis Vuitton Spring 2009 heels and a sparkling pink – barely seen – dress.

Fierce. Only Kate and Roisin Murphy can get away with this look.


Jacquetta Wheeler is having a great week, as this is another fabulous look for her. The model wore a Missoni Maranta silk kimono dress.

The colours are bright, as you would expect from Missoni, but it doesn’t feel like she was trying too hard.

She picked a different multi-coloured belt from the runway, and she completed her look with a woven white bag and gold strappy heels.


Jacquetta didn’t try to hard, but I feel Gemma Arterton did. In an attempt to be cute, this comes off as desperately trying to stand out.

The colours I feel don’t suit her. The runway version would have been better for her. Her pumps are the only thing I like here, as I’m also tiring of that same hairstyle for every event.


I really loved Jade Parfitt’s Missoni Hedda print dress. The multiple colours really drew me in.

The model modified the dress from the runway, making the voluminous sleeves and the skirt shorter.

Her dress was complimented well with a pair of silver heels.


Although I can see the lining of Jade Jagger’s dress and her bra under her dress, this Missoni Brina ruffle tunic dress, was a great choice for the designer, and very typical of her laid back style.

The colours work well with her skintone, and the ruffles on the side are a cute touch.


Margarita Missoni wore a Missoni one-shoulder navy dress. It’s not the most colour piece of all the collections, but as host, she no doubt didn’t want to hog the limelight.

What may not be immediately noticeable is the silver lurex all over the dress, which shimmers in a quite way.


Posing with the head designer Angela Missoni, Jasmine Guinness wore a knitted Missoni Vivace fringe dress.

The two-tone dress has a contrasted banned hem, which Jasmine compliments with a matching belt.


I love Kate Nash’s style, and I feel this Missoni Rosetta woven dress was perfect for her.

It’s cute, sassy, colourful and pink really compliments her milky complexion.

Like Margarita and Jasmine, she wore tights with her look.

20.03.09 Runway To Photo Shoot

Runway To "Not Fair" Single Cover – Lily Allen In Sonia Rykiel


Not Fair will be the second single to be released from Lily Allen’s new album, It’s Not Me, It’s You.

The single is to be officially released on the May, 11 2009, but I found this artwork on her fansite.

In the picture Lily wearing a black veil hat, with a Sonia Rykiel lilac strapless dress, which is similar to the one Rosario Dawson wore to the Seven Pounds Paris premiere recently.

Lily will be performing her new single live for the first time on Ant And Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway tomorrow, at approximately 7.45pm.

The music video which accompanies the song is said to have a country theme.

Intrigued? Well you can see the video at 11.50am on Channel 4 this Saturday.

20.03.09 Who Wore It Better?

Who Wore Alexander Wang Better? Michelle Williams, Marisa Tomei or Lindsay Lohan


Michelle Williams was the first celebrity to wear this very sexy Alexander Wang Spring 2009 white jersey dress with black booties, when she attended a screening of Synecdoche in New York last year.

Marisa Tomei opted to cover up most of her dress, with an oversized black blazer to the Children Mending Hearts Gala in LA.

She completed her look with black and white peep-toe pumps, and a black clutch.

Lindsay Lohan is not one to cover up. She attended an Oscars after party, sans bra, in the same dress.

She teamed her dress with black peep-toe heels, and a half-up-half-down hairdo.

Lindsay looks really rough, so I’m not going to considered her.

I like Marisa’s overall look, but this dress shouldn’t be covered up, so Michelle wins for me.
