The message many of you gave to Julianne Moore yesterday was, “Lanvin doesn’t work for you” – but judging by what she wore to the unveiling of Waterford Premier Interiors Collection at ‘Live a Crystal Life’ at Center 548 in New York City last night – she ain’t listening.

The actress donned yet another Lanvin dress, this time a ribbed wool dress with artful silk-gazar puffy sleeves from the Fall 2011 collection.

There is something about her persistence I admire, but this dress isn’t doing her any favours.

The words boxy and unflattering immediately spring to mind, with dull and uninspiring following.

I don’t like that the sleeves have lost their fizz off the runway.

Julianne Moore was in attendance at the 2012 Pirelli Calendar gala dinner in New York City on Tuesday evening.

The actress was oozing glamour wearing a Lanvin two-tone dress from the Pre-Fall 2011 collection.

A black velvet bodice and billowing sheer sleeves make for the most luxurious winter combination we can imagine.

The real beauty, though, is in the details.

One oversized shoulder gives the dress just a touch of structure to offset the otherwise very basic shape.

Industrial-like metal Lanvin cuffs add a modern element that plays well with strappy metallic Lanvin heels, but the bronze serpent chain sandals themselves are overly fussy.

What are all those things hanging off the straps?

An elegant updo and a Lanvin beige serpent minaudiere complete the look.
