This week Missoni held an event to celebrate the opening of their new Beverly Hills boutique.
Eva Mendes carried a gold leather minaudière Ferragamo clutch to complement her Missoni gold and grey knit dress.
A Missoni event wouldn’t be a Missoni event without their brand ambassador Joy Bryant, who after walking the red carpet at nearly every event in 2008 and 2009 has had a very quiet 2010.
She’s lost none of her flair as she looked gorgeous in a gold asymmetrical Missoni maxi dress.
Margherita Missoni wore her family signature zig-zag knit print, whilst Amber Valletta squashed the twins wearing a yellow strapless dress.
Both Joy and Amber opted for stand out clutches. Me thinks Joy doesn’t quite work. The size is bothers me more than the colour.
Nicole Richie was also in attendance wearing a swirling print Missoni print dress. My first thought was that this dress could easily be mistaken for a Pucci dress.
Whilst on my lunch break yesterday I walked past French Connection on Oxford Street in London and saw a dress in the window which immediately made me think of a similar dress from the Givenchy Spring 2010 collection.
It a similar colour, it drapes the same way and they both have embellished shoulders.
The difference of course will be the price.
French Connection sell their version for £110, whilst the Givenchy dress no doubt cost thousands.
Sandra Bullock picked up many Best Actress awards this season, but she didn’t always make the Best Dressed list.
Many people just didn’t get Sandra’s style. Her Bottega Veneta and Alexander McQueen (NAACP) looks were heavily criticized despite the former not being too bad.
I loved the Alexander McQueen dress she wore to the SAG Awards. It was by far her finest moment (imo).
“Slumdog Millionaire” actress Freida Pinto was the center of attention on the final day of the Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai.
The Indian actress has been in Montreal shooting her new movie “Dawn of War”, but she flew in especially for Christopher Kane’s first presentation in India.
Freida wore a pastel yellow Christopher Kane Spring 2010 embroidered dress with sheer nude mesh panels on the skirt which had slightly been modified from the runway.
The runway version has chiffon cap sleeves and a ruffled neckline which are both missing from Freida’s version.
Personally I think Freida’s version loses a lot of it’s allure without those two elements.
I wish she’d worn the dress as presented. With her hair up she would’ve been able to work that ruffled neckline.
Net-A-Porter currently have the long sleeved blue version of this dress on their virtual shelves.
Last night fans were stunned when Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z arrived on stage to join Alicia Keys whose “Freedom” tour was held in New York’s Madison Square Gardens last night.
