Red Carpet Fashion Awards

My second show today was the Stephane Rolland Spring 2011 Couture presentation.

This is my 3rd season attending a Stephane Rolland show and each time is more beautiful than the last.

His attention to detail is second to none.

The powerful collection mixed structure with metallic finishing touches.

The necklines ranged from plunging to funnel plus the details were either gold hardware or a jewel embellishment at the waist, neck or shoulder.

The colour palette was more suited to Fall with burnt orange, mustard, chocolate, black and olive green, but he also presented a lot of white and nude looks.

I love the draping detail from the hips, the capes which seem to be his signature and the Princess Leia shoulders. It seems like couturiers aren’t willing to let the bold shoulder trend go just yet.

Instead of the usual white wedding gown, Stephane sent down a model wearing a fireball orange plunging jumpsuit with a cape that billowed as she stormed the runway.

This collection screamed classic elegance with touches of modernity.

Favourites: White funnel neck white dress with what looks like Maple syrup dripping down one side and the orange structured dress above

Who I See Wearing This Collection: Tilda Swinton, Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba, Diane Lane, Kyra Sedgwick, Helen Mirren and Freida Pinto

Diane Kruger attended the Chanel Spring 2011 Couture presentation today in Paris, France.

She looked tres chic wearing a look from the Chanel Fall 2010 Couture collection.

Her beige embellished dress was paired with some stellar nude and black Miu Miu sandals.

I love two things about this look.

The way Diane makes a Couture look feel like something she effortless put on and those heels.

She continues to impress me with her footwear choices.

Georges Chakra Spring 2011 Couture presentation took place this afternoon in Paris.

The designer used opulent fabrics, perfect tailoring, and rich jewel and neutral tones to create a beautiful collection which I hope to see on the red carpet.

Season after season the designer presents wearable, highly covetable and exquisite pieces during Haute Couture Week, yet I feel he doesn’t get the credit he deserves.

The textures varied from luscious chiffon, tulle, organza, lace, satin and silk.

I’m always excited to see the extravagant embellished pieces. On this occasion we saw sequins, feathers, rhinestones and crystals.

The colour palette was varied ranging from pretty pinks, sorbet orange, gorgeous greens, navy blue and white.

Georges’ mantra this season seemed to be ‘the bigger the better’, as he presented many ball-gowns which took up the width of the runway.

Favourites: Silver embellished dress with feathered accents and dripping gown tulle ball-gown

Who I See Wearing This Collection: Carrie Underwood, Queen Latifah, Kellie Pickler, Taylor Swift, Emily Blunt, Olivia Wilde, Selena Gomez

Shakira attended the 2011 NRJ Music Awards in Cannes, France this weekend.

I’ve never been a fan of Shakira’s style as everything about her seems dated, but she did look good wearing an Azzedine Alaia Fall 2010 dress.

Her black beaded sleeveless dress with a flounce hem could’ve been lifted has she opted for more exciting accessories.
