Vanity Fair/Gucci Party Honoring Martin Scorsese

16 Replies

Not everyone wore Gucci to the Vanity Fair/Gucci Party honoring Martin Scorsese.

Juliette Binoche opted for Givenchy Spring 2010 Couture ensemble which included a black pant suit paired with a ombre feathered top.

Unlike Naomi Campbell, Juliette doesn’t look like big bird in her ensemble.

Karolina Kurkova wore a slightly modified Chanel Pre-Fall 2010 dress.

Her black sheer dress doesn’t have the turquoise beaded details around the waist and neckline.

As much as I like this look, I don’t think her hairstyle works with the dress.

Dasha Zhukova lighten things up wearing a nude Fendi Spring 2010 dress.

Her lace panel floor-length dress with a draped front has been worn by Kerry Washington.

Kate Beckinsale looked stunning wearing a Gianfranco Ferré one-shoulder black gown.

Her hair is pulled back to show off her gold earrings which complement her black and gold Louis Vuitton clutch.

Diane Lane doesn’t seem to age.

The beautiful actress wore a Monique Lhuillier one-shoulder navy gown with a draped bodice and a jewel accent on the hip.

She dazzled with Van Cleef & Arpels jewels.

My sister is currently so obsessed with Jennifer Hudson, that she has her picture on her vision board.

That’s because the star continues to look fabulous after her “Weight Watchers” transformation.

Here she wears a cute plunging LBD with a ruffled skirt. I just love the necklace with this look.

Jennifer is at Cannes Film Festival to promote her new movie “Winnie” which is based on the novel “Winnie Mandela: A Life”.

Can’t wait for that one.  I can already smell another Oscar.

Metropolitan Opera 2009-10 Season Opening Night

Julie Macklowe will be the envy of every celebrity and socialite in New York, as she was the first to get her hands on the Jason Wu Spring 2010 collection.

She walked the red carpet wearing a multi print sculptural dress, paired with high heeled pumps and a silver clutch.

Karolina Kurkova delicately caressed her baby bump with a stunning silver gown from the Marchesa Spring 2008 collection.

Three quarters of the bodice was embellished, with a chiffon detail covering her other shoulder and draping through-out the rest of the gown.

Her look was paired with silver heels.

I think we could have a maternity style face-off between Heidi Klum and Karolina.

Joy Bryant sticks to her tried, trusted and favourite brand.

This time the fresh faced beauty wore a red and black print Missoni Pre-Fall 2009 modified gown which was cinched in at the waist with a red belt.

If someone has offered me this Zac Posen Resort 2010 gown with voluminous sleeves, I would have declined after seeing the runway picture.

But on Mischa Barton the gown is outstanding.

She used a large chunky gold belt and makes the gown slightly off-the-shoulder, swept her hair over the opposite shoulder as if my magic, I’ve fallen in love with the gown.

Patricia Clarkson is elegant as always wearing a one shoulder Gucci gown, with a diamante detailing which gathers the dress towards her hip.

Flawless make-up and a black Gucci clutch complete the look.

“G.I JOE: The Rise Of Cobra” London Photocall

22 Replies

How uncanny.  I was just saying earlier today that the Loewe Spring 2009 collection doesn’t get enough love from celebrities, and now two UK fashionistas are flying to Spanish flag.

First Victoria Beckham and now Sienna Miller.

Unfortunately for Sienna her clothing were soaked on the boat trip to the HMS Belfast, where she joined her castmates for the London photocall of her new movie “G.I JOE: The Rise Of Cobra”.

Being the good humoured girl that she is, Sienna showed off her soaked grey Loewe Spring 2009 canvas pants to the photographers gathered at the event.

Her military-style look was complete with a white chiffon blouse from the same collection, with gold piping and shiny gold buttons.

The ensemble was worn with aqua, grey, pink and gold tipped lizard and crocodile fan pumps from the same collection.

Another great look for Sienna.

Rachel Nichols, who you may remember as a blonde playing Julia in the movie “Sisterhood of Travelling Pants 2″, wore a grey asymmetrical Brian Reyes shift dress from the Fall 2009 collection.

She towered over Sienna Miller wearing a black satin pair of Casadei pumps.

Whilst her co-stars wore designer clothes, Pregnant Victoria’s Secret model Karolina Kurkova, wore head-to-toe Topshop.

She wore a red striped Topshop dress with a peplum at the waist which covered her tiny bump.

Added to her look was a Topshop black suede panther belt with a pair of Topshop suede boots.

Cheap but chic.

2009 CMT Music Awards

9 Replies

Best Dressed Award
After the CFDA Awards red carpet, the CMT Awards didn’t have as many wow moments.

Jennifer Nettles was by a very long mile the Best Dressed for me.

The singer glowed in a champagne Rachel Roy Fall 2009 strapless bustier dress.

I love the asymmetrical hem line, the gathered detail around the hips and way she elegantly styled her hair.

The only downsides for me were the clutch and the tie-dye Brian Atwood pumps.

Predictable, but Still Cute Award
Taylor Swift loves to sparkle on these occasions and she did wearing a Collette Dinnigan Resort 2009 mini with shoestring straps and a tiered skirt.

Her look was perfected with a pair of metallic Prada jeweled platform heels, and her hair elegantly swept back into a side bun.

Best Use of Colour Award
Singer and dancer Julianne Hough opted for a tiered coral Jenny Packham Spring 2009 cocktail dress.

The colour is gorgeous on her, she really stands out on this red carpet.

I love embellished details on the neckline.

Her look was completed with champagne coloured Guiseppe Zanotti heels which had a jewel detail.

Most Surprising Award
I’m glad Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson opted for this cute Elizabeth & James blue floral strapless tulip dress.

Just because she has a very athletic figure it doesn’t mean she can’t wear this floaty, ethereal look.

I would’ve loved to have seen her hair pulled back.

Best Rock Chick Award
Sheryl Crow wore a black tuxedo jacket and a cowl neck black top, but she added leather pants, studded heels and a necklace featuring mini skulls to toughen up her sexy look.

Expected More Award
Martina McBride opted for a grey tunic dress with an embellished neckline which looks fabulous on her but normally the singer goes all out.

This feel like something she just threw on.

Worst Colour Award
Whilst almost everyone else opted minis to show off their summer tanned and toned legs, Kellie Pickler opted for a Badgley Mischka Pre-Fall 2009 gown.

I love the embellished neckline and the cut of the dress does wonders for her figure, but this has to be the worst possible colour.

She should have opted for something more bright and colourful to match her sparkling personality.

Worst Hair Award
I’m not particularly loving the high neck long sleeve nature of this dress, but what I really don’t like Laura Bell Bundy hair.

I’m not sure if they are hair extension – although they very much look like it – but the style is quite hideous.

Worst Dressed Award
Model Karolina Kurkova wore a black Azzaro Gentleman’s Tux dress with Aldo ‘Seace’ black leather ankle boots.

For a premiere, screening, or gallery opening in New York this would have worked, but for the CMT Awards cute colourful sparkling dresses are almost mandatory. This work doesn’t work for me at all for this event.
