Andrea Riseborough In Chanel – 2013 Chanel Pre-Oscar Dinner

Andrea Riseborough made an appearance at the Chanel Pre-Oscar Dinner held at L.A.’s Madeo Restaurant on Saturday.

The actress wore a look straight from the Chanel Spring 2013 runway collection.

Andrea decided to go with a classic Chanel look this time around in a swingy, blue tweed dress with an oversized peter pan collar and red piping. I like that she really went for the classic Chanel style complete with a quilted clutch and cap-toed heels.

Andrea completed her look with a softly curled under ‘do pinned back just above the temple. I think the overall look is lovely, but as it is very sweet and demure, I would have liked to see a less schoolgirl hairstyle for a bit more edge.

What do you think: too sweet, or just perfect?

Felicity Jones In Chanel – 2013 Chanel Pre-Oscar Dinner

Felicity Jones attended the Chanel Pre-Oscar Dinner held at Madeo Restaurant in Los Angeles on Saturday.

The ‘Breathe In’ actress wore a floor-length dress from Chanel Spring 2013.

Felicity has shown her love of the black-and-white combo on red carpets past, and for this event she sported the colour duo in a tweed gown with a front slit and an exaggerated collar and cuffs.

I like the silhouette of the dress—it’s simple and subtly curve-hugging—but the oversized details in black and white are too reminiscent of a nun uniform for my taste. I would love to see the dress in a different colour palette.

The look was topped off with black and transparent ankle strap heels, also from Chanel, and a slightly smokey eye and nude lip.

Rose Byrne In Chanel – 2013 Chanel Pre-Oscar Dinner

Rose Byrne started celebrating the 2013 Academy Awards early on Saturday night at the Chanel Pre-Oscar Dinner held at Madeo Restaurant in Los Angeles.

The ‘I Give It a Year’ star wore a black and silver knit dress from Chanel Spring 2013.

Rose went for an “x marks the spot” look in a two-toned dress, but I think the placement of the design doesn’t quite do her figure justice. The style is a bit bland for Rose, who looks beautiful in designs with more colour, like this plum hue.

She added an element of brightness to the look via white and gold matching pumps and clutch, also from Chanel.

I typically like Rose’s natural makeup style, but I think the darkness of the dress calls for a brightening red lip, like she did so beautifully in this black Chanel number.

Do you think Rose wowed in this style?

Chloe Moretz attended the Chanel Pre-Oscar Dinner held at Madeo Restaurant in Los Angeles on Saturday.

The young actress, who recently sported a Chanel frock for her birthday, wore a look from Chanel Spring 2013.

Chloe looked young and fresh in her cream tweed dress with double-breasted oversized pearl buttons.

She styled the look with accessories via Chanel including a gold clutch, burgundy heels, a ‘Plume’ bracelet, and double ‘Camelia Brode’ earrings

What do you think of Chloe’s style?

January Jones In Chanel – 2013 Chanel Pre-Oscar Dinner

January Jones joined Kate Bosworth to show her designer love at the Chanel Pre-Oscar Dinner in Los Angeles on Saturday.

The ‘Mad Men’ star wore a black viscose sweater compliments of the Chanel Resort 2013 collection and pants from Chanel Fall 2012.

The mini-turtleneck style sweater featured textured detailing on the front panel and exposed just a sliver of January’s skin for a playful look. The black and white pants were a graphic take on the classic tuxedo pant, and I’m glad that she went without the matching coat shown on the runway.

January is a past fan of the black and white trend, and really, the whole look seems to be a style her ‘Mad Men’ character Betty Draper would wear. She styled the pants-and-top look with Chanel shoes, a clutch, and a statement ‘Eventail’ black and white diamond cuff.

A neutral makeup palette and a volume-injected bob completed the look.
