Julianne Hough In Emilio De La Morena – ‘An Evening with Nicholas Sparks’

Julianne Hough stepped out Wednesday to celebrate writer and rom-com hitmaker Nicholas Sparks at ‘An Evening with Nicholas Sparks’ at Waterstones Piccadilly in London.

The actress, who was there to promote her Sparks movie ‘Safe Haven’, wore a burgundy hot dress from Emilio De La Morena Fall 2012.

The skin-tight oxblood gown featured a sexy yet conservative leather bodice. The silhouette is beautifully simple in contrast to the edgy design.

The dancer-turned-actress made the gown look even more spectacular than on the runway. I’m glad Julianne went for an edgier look, as her style tends to flip-flop back towards sweet and ethereal, which I don’t think suits her well.

Julianne stuck to what she knows best: a slightly smokey eye and light pink lip. The makeup paired well with a unfussy updo and gold jewels.

Rooney Mara In Valentino Couture – ‘Side Effects’ Berlin Film Festival Premiere

After dazzling in a white confection at the ‘Side Effects’ New York premiere, Rooney Mara was back to black for the film’s debut at the Berlinale Film Festivale in Germany today.

Our goth-glam girl returned to her dark side in a dress from Valentino’s Spring 2013 Couture collection.

But this was a sweet moment, too—at least for this edgy starlet.

The prim little frock, with its embroidered maze of ivy swirls, its riff on the pouf sleeve and that handkerchief hem, was elevated to a near-girly level. This look seemed mere steps away from a place in a mysterious and gothic secret garden.

The actress’s love of sheer styling continued here, although a nude lining precluded any real show of skin.

With no jewellery and only a basic black pump, this completely unembellished show of stylish austerity was finished with Rooney’s slick top knot, her flawless alabaster complexion and pretty-in-pink lippie.

Rooney Mara In Balenciaga – ‘Side Effects’ Berlin Film Festival Photocall

Before her ladylike turn at the ‘Side Effects’ premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival in Germany, Rooney Mara suited up for the film’s photocall on Tuesday.

Donning an ensemble from the Balenciaga Resort 2013 collection, the actress was in a mannish mood.

The pleated, high-waisted silhouette of the wool pinstripe pant, with the wide belt bisecting the torso, is a hard trend to wear. It’s even more challenging when paired with a rigid harness-like top.

But count on Rooney as one of the few who could pull this off with some sense of coolness—despite the bit of awkward bunching that happened at the cuffed sleeves of her white blouse.

She looked relatively identical to the lookbook model, save for the swapping of the boot for a pointy pump and skipping the hoop earrings altogether.

She didn’t really need any accessories, though, as that vermillion lip against her porcelain skin was pop enough.

We can always count on her to wear thought-provoking pieces; perhaps she was paying homage to Nicolas Ghesquière with this look from one of his final collections for the Balenciaga label.

Andrea Riseborough In Matthew Williamson – 2013 Elle Style Awards

Andrea Riseborough hit the red carpet in a super textural design at the 2013 Elle Style Awards at London’s Savoy Hotel.

The ‘Disconnect’ actress looked effortlessly stunning in a silvery grey design from Matthew Williamson Pre-Fall 2013.

A casual v-neck cut and half-sleeve style was amped up thanks to a beautiful lace design and a soft and flowy feather hemline. Andrea definitely brought the glamour to the red carpet with this design.

The actress styled her cocktail-style dress with Christian Louboutin ‘Dufoura’ open-toe booties and a straightforward beauty style with her hair simply styled in a down look, a smoky eye and a pink lip.

I love the style on her, but would have loved a more delicate sandal and sleek low bun more. Do you agree?

Stella McCartney In Stella McCartney – 2013 Elle Style Awards

Fashion designer Stella McCartney attended the Elle Style Awards at the Savoy Hotel in London on Monday.

The British designer was dressed in none other than her own designs from Stella McCartney Pre-Fall 2013.

She dressed in the same black and white trend as fellow attendee Chloe Moretz, who was also wearing a look by the designer.

Stella opted for crisp black trousers and a white blouse under a dramatic, high-neck black coat with an oversized floral embroidery.

Keeping to her usual beauty style, the designer completed her look with straight hair, a center part, a slight smokey eye, and a light pink lip colour.
