Vogue Australia 50th Anniversary Dinner, Syndey

Unfortunately we didn’t get any dramatic looks, no picks from our Red Carpet Wish lists and no couture from Cate Blanchett at this event, but regardless it’s always a treat to see her on the red carpet.
She looks outstanding wearing a burnt orange long sleeved vintage Ossie Clark gown with an ivory necklace.
“A Streetcar Named Desire” Press Night, London

Rachel Weisz wore an animal print Isabel Marant Fall 2009 sheer with black peep-toes accented with a gold floral detail.
Although I’m not crazy about the detail on her shoes, I adore her dress, even though it’s showing us her bra.
Isabel Marant make such fabulous pieces. I hope we see more celebrities wearing their pieces in future.
Out & About, Berlin

Even when she’s out shopping in Berlin, Diane Kruger is still incredibly stylish.
The German actress wore a Stella McCartney Resort 2010 ensemble which included a yellow tank top she wore off-the-shoulder, with a blue striped tulip skirt.
She added flats and a white Chanel quilted bag to complete her ‘off-duty’ look.
I adore her skirt. Another piece added to my never-ending wish list.
X-Games “Red Bull Toasted” Honors Action Sports Icon Travis Pastrana, LA

A LBD as short and tight as this can go so wrong, but I think Audrina Patridge looks amazing in this Michelle Mason Spring 2009 dress.
She’s starting to come into her own now that she’s no longer in Lauren’s shadow.
“Taking Woodstock” New York Premiere

With her long wavy hair falling down her shoulders, Claire Danes wore a blue silk Sonia Rykiel Resort 2010 wrap dress with delicate ruffles.
Her dress is longer than the runway version, which I can’t say I’m surprised about considering we’re talking about Claire Danes.
In keeping with her usual simple style, she only added a platinum bracelet and strappy heels to complete her look.

Lynn Collins has finally been weened off wearing top hats to every red carpet appearance, but she’s replaced that look with a headband.
Wearing a Kova & T green mini dress and nude Brian Atwood Katie Bis sandals I would say her look was great had it not been for the over excessive bronzing.
Dolce & Gabbana: The Make Up Selfridges Launch, London

So now all those Scarlett Johansson posters in Selfridges yesterday make sense, they were prepping for Scarlett’s Dolce & Gabbana make-up launch.
The actress looked very sophisticated and refined in her Dolce & Gabbana ensemble. I especially love her floral flutter sleeve blouse and orange sorbet peep-toes, but I’m still struggling with the hair.
I do usually love Scarlett wearing bold red lips, but I don’t think it quite works with her ensemble.
“JLo for Yamamay” Collection Launch, Rome

Jennifer Lopez was in Rome yesterday to promote her new underwear collection.
The actress wore an ivory chiffon gown with an embellished neckline and a matching Alaia waist belt.
She carried a glittering silver Swarovski clutch which sparkled like her jeweled T-bar sandals.
Her locks were have been lighten with some blonde streaks which I’m not particularly fond of.
How many of you feel like you have seen this look many times before?
Mont Blanc, Austria

Dita von Teese wore a traditional Austrian dirndl while at the Mont Blanc boutique in Salzburg.
It would’ve been great if she’d changed her hairstyle just this once to really get into the spirit of things.
2009 Salzburg Festival – ‘Welcome to Nowhere’ Premiere, Austria

This is the Dita von Teese we’re most used to seeing, looking glamorous wearing a Moschino cream tiered plisse chiffon gown.
AMC Cocktail Reception, LA

Christina Hendricks strikes a stunning pose wearing a emerald Catherine Malandrino pleated empire waist dress with ruffle sleeves.
Gold accessories complete this look.

January Jones wore an interesting sheer Sretsis dress with two diamante bow appliqués to cover her modesty.
I love her hairstyle. Tres chic.

This post follows my first Amanda Bynes post back in July 2007 titled The Never Changing Hairstyle Of Amanda Bynes, which still hasn’t changed.
Recently when Amanda Bynes walked the red carpet it became clear that she had developed another pattern – only wearing head-to-toe black.
Amanda should be experimenting, taking risks and giving us something to ooohhh and aaah about. Instead she gives us the same colour by numbers formula without ever colouring over the lines.
Her style is completely one dimensional – above the knee dresses, and her colour palette is predictably black or various shades of pink.
It’s believed that Bynes doesn’t have a stylist and I think her looks support that.
Many of you will argue that I moan when Rihanna over does it and moan when Bynes plays it safe, but at least Rihanna keeps things interesting no matter how hard she tries.
I’ll take an over-the-top look with shades at night, over another LBD with a black clutch and YSL Trib Two’s any day of the week.

31.07.09 PremiereRunway To Red Carpet

After falling in love with Penelope Cruz’ look, I’m brought right back down to earth by Amy Adams.
The star wore a stunning white floral print Carolina Herrera Resort 2010 gown with intricate bead work, but for me it doesn’t work on Amy.
I assume many of you will love it, and if you do let me know via the comments because for me this isn’t a Best Dressed Of The Week contender.
She looks a little tired, the dress doesn’t flatter her, her hair is really mumsy plus the off-the-shoulder neckline looks awkward on her yet elegant on the model.
Apart from the gown and the gold VBH clutch I don’t like anything here.
