Jessica Alba changed out of her Oscar de la Renta gown into a Louis Vuitton Spring 2013 frock for the Warner Bros. and InStyle Golden Globe Awards After Party in LA on Sunday evening.
Many of us, myself included, have been pleasantly surprised by the success of this one-note collection, but on this occasion, after seeing two other similar LV looks (worn by Kerry Washington and Kirsten Dunst) in the space of a week, I think I have chequer fatigue.
My issue with this particular chequered look is that Jessica looks like she’s about to take her place at the finishing line of the Monaco Grand Prix to signal the end of the race.
Jessica’s black-and-white sequined dress was styled with Casadei ‘Blade’ pumps and a black satin clutch.
This Louis Vuitton collection could become like the Dolce & Gabbana ‘star’ print fad of 2011.

It works somehow.
Agree
I agree also, love that she kept the bold lip.
I also like it
I agree that in this case 3rd time is not a charm…. I’m laughing so hard reading this part “she’s about to take her place at
the finishing line of the Monaco
Grand Prix to signal the end of the
race.” Oh I love your sense of humour FC…
Hahaha Same here.. that liner was good
That cracked me up too!
hhhhh +1 une idee pour charlene de monaco
I think the black and white chequered pieces are the less nice looks from this collection. It really looks like she is going to take her place at the Grand Prix. I’m not saying that it’s a bad look, but I don’t particularly love it, either.
This is the first look from this collection that I think works!
For me, nothing compares to the first look worn from this collection – the playsuit Kristen Stewart wore. Jessica looks good, but I’m over it now. There has been an over-saturation of the fashion market with this collection.
I think it worked. Love Jessica’s hair. However, I’m getting tired of the print also. When I first saw the collection, I was wowed. It was partially the synchronized walk and the twin factor, I gather. Now after seeing a few dresses on celebs, I thought they were wearing their shower curtains or bathroom floor. One more thing for Vuitton: stop making these simple yet distinctive prints. I bet the knockoffs are running wild in Asia.
Over this collection, but surprisingly this is the first look that I’ve appreciated the quirk. I almost like it.
I love this actually. It’s probably not as dramatic as you could go with an awards after-party, but I’m sure seeing it in person with the sequins makes it party appropriate.
I kind of wish her shoes were another color though (red preferably) but her lip color mostly makes up for it. Either way, I’m glad it’s pointed. So many starlets constantly wear the wrong shoe shape.
I actually adore this. Full confession, I wasn’t a big fan of Kerry Washington’s look.
I’d probably love this with a slightly different neckline- need to see some collarbone, right now it looks like her head in on backwards.
Cracking up at the Grand Prix ref, FC. Good one!!!
This is a pretty darn amazing look. Insanely memorable!
you seemed enthusiastic when Kristen Stewart wore a checkered black&white piece from the same line. Weird………….

I said I am fatigued after seeing print so many times
Fyi Kristen’s was ivory and brown not black and white like Jessica. You have no case
