Red Carpet Fashion Awards

Monthly Archives: February 2011

The first 19 looks at Blumarine were black, white and grey.

Just when I was going to ask for a refund on my cab fare, the Blumarine I know and love burst into life on the runway.

The models stormed the runway wearing bold primary colours of orange, purple, teal, blue and yellow.

Blumarine presented a clean minimalist collection with clear-cut lines.

I was surprised that no animal prints were used in this collection, as Anna Molinari has never met a leopard or zebra print she didn’t love.

A-line dresses, tunic over flared pants, ribbed turtlenecks, pea coats, trenches and a selection of lace dresses in various colours and lengths will surely keep the Blumarine girl very happy.

Key accessories included shopper bags, ankle strap heels and knee-high boots.

Favourites: Orange lace dress and purple funnel neck ensemble

Who I See Wearing This Collection: Paris Hilton, Monica Cruz, Katy Perry and Fergie

Diane Kruger and Chanel are a fashion match made in heaven.

The German actress took to the red carpet at the 2011 Cesar Film Awards in Paris last night wearing a Chanel Fall 2011 Couture dress.

Her sheer black and gold embroidered dress was teamed with her favourite Gucci Kelis suede & python ankle-strap platform sandals which she’s worn on the red carpet a few times recently.

As always Diane is oozing pure perfection with minimal effort.

I love her wavy locks.

Whilst many reports have focused on the fact that the Gianfranco Ferré Fall 2011 was watched by their new owners, we’re here just to focus on the most important thing – the clothes.

We’ve seen colour extremes from blacks and navy to hot pink and neon yellow on the runway for Fall, but at Ferre we saw plenty of ice ice baby.

Icy whites, greys and silver looks were presented alongside some black, navy and sand coloured looks which was such a huge departure from the more colourful looks of past seasons.

The surprisingly minimalist collection included sleek silhouettes, tailored coats, tapered pants, coats with multiple colours, fur sleeveless coats.

The final selection of looks showed that Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi haven’t lost any of their sparkle as the beaded dresses and gowns made their way down the runway.

Key accessories included calf length boots, ankle boots, pointy pumps plus suede, crocodile bags and leather bags with a shearling panel.

This is a fabulous wearable collection, but I found myself saying “Hello Celine, ” during several points of this presentation.

Favourites: Sleeveless fur coat paired with white pants and white dress paired with beige leather top

Who I See Wearing This Collection: Demi Moore, Nicole Kidman, Kate Bosworth, Kate Walsh, Tilda Swinton, Michelle Williams, Natalie Portman and Charlize Theron

Mila Kunis aka my brother soon-to-be wife, attended the 2011 Vanity Fair Campaign Hollywood Party in LA last night.

She opted to wear a stand out Valentino Fall 2010 Couture mini dress.

The red strapless organza dress had asymmetrical tiers which she paired with a black blazer.

Normally I would hate the blazer in order to see the full look, but Mila isn’t about making huge statement and I think it works really well with her look.

Brian Atwood ‘Maniac’ nude pumps, Cartier ‘Panther’ jewels and a Dana Rebecca Designs necklace were the perfect finishing touches to her look.

It’s a pleasure to see a hint of a smile in this picture. She’s clearly becoming more comfortable on the red carpet.

The Moschino Fall 2011 collection was styled by Anna Dello Russo who was seated in the front row at the show this morning.

Usually Anna dresses in elaborate colourful looks, but when she’s working she dressed demure (for her) and opts out of wearing exuberant hats.

That honour went to Hanne Gaby Odiele who wore a cardboard cut out rose hat and Coco Rocha of course was handed the chicken hat.

Only Coco Rocha can work a chicken hat on the runway and make us think….hmmm “that’s a good look.”

The collection was typically Moschino fun yet still has a lot of authority, which is why Michelle Obama is such a huge fan.

The models walked the runway wearing menswear inspired looks with officer hats, replacing the cowboy hats of last season plus cummerbunds in various colours wrapped around the waist.

The playfulness continued as the lining of some of the menswear looks which was floral and keeping in tune with the theme of the collection.

Apart from the menswear inspired black and gold lame looks which dominated this collection, we also saw palazzo pants, classic skirt suits, satin dresses, floral mini dresses, dresses with ruffled peplum.

Key accessories included cat-eye glasses, clutches, bags and open-toe lace-up booties and gold jewelery.

Favourites: Floral print dress with ruffled neckline and peplum plus gold lame shirt and palazzo pants paired with navy sweater

Who I See Wearing This Collection: Anna Dello Russo, Katy Perry, Leighton Meester, AnnaLynne McCord, Fan Bing Bing, Diane Keaton, Zoe Saldana, Diane Kruger and Sophia Bush

The 4th Annual Essence Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon took place at the Beverly Hills Hotel in California last night.

Kerry Washington looked very much like a ‘lady who lunches’ wearing a beige floral print belted Vivienne Westwood dress.

Her gorgeous sweetheart neckline dress had a draped detail from the shoulders.

Wavy hair, silver jewels, an ivory clutch and nude Louboutin’s completed her look.

Gorgeous Oscar nominee Viola Davis looked picture perfect at this event wearing a black David Meister dress.

Her classic black textured cocktail dress with jeweled neckline was paired with black pumps and a matching clutch.

Jennifer Hudson continues to inspire us all to head to the gym, flaunting her svelte wearing a violet Roland Mouret dress.

Her figure hugging dress was paired with Jimmy Choo suede pumps.

I absolutely adore Kerry’s look.
