Melissa George was in London last night to promote her psychological thriller “Triangle”, in which she plays five versions of the same character.

Melissa body language tells me she’s not sure about her Lanvin Pre-Fall 2009 gold metallic dress.

She’s very “Hmmm….I don’t know” and I feel much the same way, especially about the gathered detail on the hip.

The shimmering dress is gorgeous with its golden colour, but it fails to flatter Melissa.

We all know she has a amazing figure, but this dress doesn’t accentuate that. I’m not suggesting she only wear figure-hugging dress, but something that feels like she’s not hiding behind it.

Of course I’m disliking the tights with this look, but I do love her accessories which include an array of Lanvin’s signature glass pearl and grosgrain ribbon necklaces and a black Lanvin bag with a gold chain bag decorated the trademark black ribbon.

What do you think Yay or Nay?

If your going to wear the same Chanel dress Diane Kruger wore two weeks ago, you better look fantastic in it and Shantel VanSanten does.

A lot of you weren’t liking Diane in the dress as you felt it was too tight on the bust, but Shantal doesn’t appear have that same issue.

With her hair swept to the side in a low bun the actress oozed sexy sophistication pairing her dress with Nicholas Kirkwood pearl embellished sandals.

Sporting a classic updo to show off her gold drop earrings, Haley Webb shone brightly wearing a one-shouldered canary yellow satin Lela Rose Spring 2009 dress with black peep-toes.

I love how she stands out on the black carpet, but I feel slightly uninspired by her all black accessories.

From the white dress to the grey suede Christian Louboutin ankle boots, I’m not liking anything about Krista Allen’s look at all.

She tried a funky look but came off looking slightly ridiculous.

A dress similar in style to Haley’s would’ve made her look more sophisticated.

Haylie Duff doesn’t appear in this movie, but that didn’t prevent her from making the biggest effort at this premiere.

Her ivory one shoulder Nikolaki Spring 2009 gown is glorious.  I love the colour against her sun-kissed skin.

The gown is accented with a black waist band and from the close-up you can see the shoulder detail cascade down her back.

Loose tussled waves and nude lips complete this gorgeous look.

Of all the celebrities we’ve see wearing the Christian Louboutin Very Prive studded peep-toe pumps Nicky Hilton loves hers the most, as we’ve seen them on her many times.

She paired her heels with a simple strapless Elise Øverland tiered black dress, and diamond earrings.

Looking at Sandra Bullock walking the red carpet at the “All About Steve” LA Premiere last night, I really wanted to say something positive because she picked probably the most difficult dress from the Lanvin Spring 2009 collection.

The multi-coloured strapless cocktail dress has a navy skirt, with pleated bodice of red, purple and nude.

She took a risk like some many actress fail to do, but the risk unfortunately didn’t pay off.

In fact it went horribly wrong, and that was down to the styling.

Firstly the ankle boots were a ridiculous choice with this dress.

I said recently that I hate the ankle boot trend at the moment, and this look proves why because it makes Sandra’s legs look so short and stumpy. A nude pump would have elongated her legs, as would a pair of pointy pumps.

Then I move onto the hair.

We all recognise this hair. This is the type of hair we sport when we just woke up or finished working out at the gym. This is not red carpet hair to complement a complicated dress. It even looks matted in places. *shakes head*

I love Sandy B, but this is my least favourite red carpet look from her and it’s not the fault of the dress.

Don’t blame it all on the dress.

“Extract” is a comedy that stars Jason Bateman, Mila Kunis, and Ben Affleck, which is about the struggles one man has to run an extract company – sounds hilarious.

Star of the movie Mila Kunis walked the red carpet wearing a Matthew Williamson printed brocade dress from the designers Fall 2009 collection, which I added to my favourites this week.

The cream, grey and mint green brocade shimmering dress has a pleated wrap-over sweetheart neckline, with a playful print.

A loose updo, nude heels and a stack of silver bracelets worn further up the arm completed the look.

Jessica Stroup who walks the red carpet with such style and grace, as if she’s been doing it for years, hit another high note wearing a gold and black metallic Notte by Marchesa Fall 2009 t-shirt dress with Emporio Armani black suede zipper booties accented with a gold trim.

This is a cute look without being too matchy-matchy.

Despite being the human equivalent to a magpie and being instantly attracted to anything the sparkles, I’m not in love with Diane Kruger’s embellished Miu Miu mini dress as I don’t think it flatters her.

I feel like tugging the skirt down as it sits too high for my liking.

She completed her vixen look with bright red lips and black strappy heels.

Diane’s co-star Mélanie Laurent faired much better wearing a Alexandre Vauthier Spring 2009 Couture black ensemble.

The look consisted of a black pencil skirt, patent waist belt and a sheer halter top, which she lined from the runway version.

Black peep-toes and a black Christian Louboutin clutch completed the look.

Love the look, but I’m not at all crazy about her hair.

Michelle Monaghan looked outstanding wearing a navy blue Rachel Roy Resort 2010 dress with sculptural peaked shoulders.

The bold shoulder is not an easy look to pull off, but Michelle does with ease.

Manolo Blahnik white strappy sandals and a silver cuff complete the look.

Rachel Roy modified Spring 2009 strapless dress to become a spaghetti strapped taupe dress with a less revealing metallic neckline.

Her look is made more interesting with a chunky silver necklace from Michael Kors Fall 2009 collection.

I like designers like Rachel, Donatella Versace and recently Georgina Chapman who modify their own designs to make them more individual.  Take notes Mrs B.

I LOVE Agyness Deyn here.

For once the British model looks glamorous even though she’s wearing a Rocky Horror Show t-shirt.

There’s something about the neatness of her look that I’m drawn too. The sleek bob, the pencil skirt, the red Lulu Guinness lips clutch, her gold strappy Méchante of London’s ‘Elektra’ Rose python heels and the cleanliness of it all.

Not a hint of grunge in sight.

Alexa Chung’s style is not to my liking, but I do appreciate her shirt with a studded collar, plus her H&M skirt, but I can’t bare the greasy hair.

I don’t understand how greasy hair became so trendy.

Actress Julia Stiles looked smart and chic wearing a white satin dress, with an ivory criss cross detail that goes across her back.

She paired her dress with gold gladiator sandals and a white clutch.

Olivia Palermo bucked the short and sassy trend at this event and opted for a ruffled maxi Kate Moss for Topshop dress.

Although she does look elegant and she has added a pony tail to her trademark hairstyle, I can’t help feel a bit bored by her look.

The edgy New Yorker appears to have soften her look.

Melissa George made a huge statement wearing a bold red dress to this screening.

The star was very sophisticated in scarlet as she added black accessories including a studded peep-toes.

Eva Amurri where is your bra?

With twins like those they need support.

Emmanuelle Chriqui at least wore a bra, even though I can see it under her white Kain Label Pocket Tee.

Her electric blue clutch punches up her laid-back look.

Socialite Fabiola Beracasa channels her inner Victoria Beckham wearing a ridiculous headband whilst ruining her gorgeous plum Alexander Wang one-sleeve jersey dress.

With her newly plumped lips Lindsay Lohan walked the red carpet looking a disheveled mess, but then what’s new about that?

I’m sure the actress got many calls from Britney Spears last night, asking for her ratty extensions back.

Actress Yoon Eun Hye arrived at her “My Fair Lady” press conference last week held at Ritz Carlton Hotel in Seoul, wearing a Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 dress.

She looks so elegant in her black dress which has a blue pom pom in one of the sleeves, and a matching ribbon tied to her waist.

Once again I’m glad that she didn’t feel the need to accessorize with the LV Cancan shoes, but she did wear a large pearl in her red hair like one of the models on the runway.

Moon Chae Won opted for a sexy Versace Spring 2009 mini dress with a heart shaped zipper detail on the neckline.

She wore her dress with Christian Louboutin heels with a black chiffon petal detail running along the front of the shoe.

A selection of rings and a gold leaf detail bracelet complete the look.

At the press conference the shows posters in the background reveal how fashionable this show is going to be.

Behind Yoon you can see she is wearing a Louis Vuitton blue dress, as worn by Madonna at the Costume Institute Gala.

In this poster Yoon is wearing the Balmain Spring 2009 denim jacket we saw Rihanna wearing earlier this year.

The drama is set to air August 19th on KBS2.
