Before I tear into this, I think it’s safe to say that it was never going to be easy to pull off this Jenny Packham Fall 2008 gown.

Jenny Packham is very much the go-to designer for sparkling, embellished red carpet gowns, and this nude ensemble with a black lace overlay, and a feather trim peplum at the waist, is very much a departure from what she usually presents.

Satsuki Mitchell wore this gown, when she attended yet another Defiance premiere, this time in Germany, with boyfriend Daniel Craig.

The ensemble is a cross between something that would have been worn on the Little House on the Prairie, or as I am sure regular commentator Leo would say - something an Amish bride would wear.

It does not flatter her, it only ages her. This is a very surprising, disappointing choice, which is made worse by not wearing the belt that it was presented with.

January 13th, 2009


Satsuki Mitchell arrived with Daniel Craig to the New York screening of Defiance last night.

Daniel’s plus one, wore a very sexy strapless black Alexander McQueen side peplum dress, with Lanvin cone heel pumps.

The black crepe strapless has a structured corset with a contrast nude insert at the front which could give the impression that the dress has a very deep plunge.


You can buy this dress from Net-A-Porter’s US site for $5,720, or the international site for £2,613/€3,478.68.

When handing out my Best Of 2008 Awards, there was one Award I missed. Best Plus One, and I would have given the award to film producer Satsuki Mitchell.

Satsuki looked magnificent by Daniel Craig’s side for all the Quantum Of Solace premieres last year - and there were many. Last night they walked the red carpet in London for the premiere of Daniel’s new movie, Defiance.

What I love about Satsuki when she walks the red carpet, is that she never tries to stand out. She knows he is the star, and she never tries to break away and be photographed alone, like Sarah Larson did, when she walked the red carpet with George Clooney.

Wearing her hair back Satsuki was dressed in a Louis Vuitton Fall 2008 dress which had a peplum at the waist, and embellishments down the front. The dress was slightly modified from the runway version, which I think worked for her.

Christian Dior & Chinese Artists, China

Charlize Theron arrived with the John Galliano, the designer of her custom-made Dior gown.

The actress looked absolute stunning, as she sparkled in the strapless gold sequin gown, which she teamed with gold accessories.

Note how she is looking at Galliano with admiration. I would too if he made me custom gowns that made me look that amazing.

Eva Green stayed away from her usual black, to wear this lime green Christian Dior Resort 2009 gown with embellished detailing on the neckline.

For me this is not one of Eva’s best looks, and the make-up is too heavy for such a brightly coloured dress.

Marion Cotillard who is the new face of Dior Bags, arrived on the red carpet wearing a fuchsia pink Christian Dior dress with matching shoes.

We have not seen much of Marion on the red carpet since her Oscar win, back in February, so it’s great to see her on the red carpet again.

“Quantum Of Solace” Premiere, Sydney

Olga Kurylenko looked drop dead gorgeous once again, showing off her long legs in a silver paillette covered mini Collette Dinnigan Spring 2009 low waist dress with metallic peep-toe Jimmy Choo’s.

Her hair was a tad mumsy, I would have loved her hair to have been pulled back in this dress.

Actor Daniel Craig and partner Satsuki Mitchell are such a beautiful couple.

Satsuki opted for a lime green satin gown which graduated with each layers to chartreuse at the hem. The dress had a plunging neckline and a long train.

The jewel tones on her clutch, matched the layers on her gorgeous gown.

MTV’s TRL “Total Finale Live”, New York

Vanessa Minnillo stood out the most at this event wearing a blue Tracy Reese strapless bow dress with white stars all over.

She wore her dress with silver star earrings and t-bar black sandals.

Beyonce performed her hits singles ‘If I Were a Boy’, ‘Single Ladies’, and ‘Crazy in Love’ during the final TRL show.

The single was looked amazing wearing a 3/4 length sleeved embroidered leather Alexander McQueen Fall 2008 jacket and skin-tight leather pants.

Every day her style choices get a little bit better. I guess now that she is married, she no longer feels the need to take style advice from her mother. THANK GOD.

Your Best Dressed last week, Taylor Swift, wore a black Shoshanna asymmetrical dress, with pleating at empire waist.

The curly haired singer wore her dress with black booties.

Hilary Duff surprised me wearing a black mini dress, with a sheer overlay, which she wore with a wide black belt.

This is a daring look for the young singer.

I adore her earrings.

“Billy Elliot The Musical” Opening Night, New York

Rachel Weisz arrived at the Billy Elliot The Musical opening night on Broadway wearing a Marc Jacobs Spring 2008 metallic embroidered shift dress with black pumps.

The British actress continues to shine on the red carpet.

The Hugo Boss Prize 2008, New York

Julianne Moore, one of the pioneers of the navy dress trend, wore a ruffled front navy Boss Black dress with black YSL Tribute Sandals to this event.

“Quantum Of Solace” Premiere, Rome

May I just say WOW.

Olga Kurylenko is working the ass off this Dolce & Gabbana dress.

I love the sexy silhouette it gives her, the mermaid hem, the corseted bodice, the tussled hair, the soft make-up.

LOVE, Love, love

Satsuki Mitchell stood out in a different way. The partner of Daniel Craig opted for a mini sparkly number.

It is a nice change to see Satsuki with her hair down and straight. Usually it is up or wavy.

“A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Cure Parkinson’s” 2008 Benefit For The Michael J. Fox Foundation, New York

Scarlett Johansson, or should I say Mrs Reynolds, made a welcome return to the red carpet after what feels like a very absence.

The newly married star opted for a LWD by Dolce & Gabbana, which has a bandage bodice, which delightfully showed off her assets. She completed her look with 3-tone peeps toes and a stunningly beautiful Van Cleef & Arpels necklace.

I love her elegant updo, which completes the very sophisticated look.

Julianne Moore continues her love affair with YSL wearing this YSL black dress, with a belt from their Fall 2008 collection.

Virgin Unite’s “Through The Looking Glass” Fundraiser, London

Kelly Rowland my love our great country, but she does not like our cold weather. The singer wore a black coat with a sequined scarf over her olive dress.

I am still struggling with Natalie Imbruglia’s blonde hair, but I am sure it may grow on me one day.

The singer/actress arrived on the red carpet wearing a blue sequined Preen Fall 2008 dress, which she matched with a blue ring.

Despite the dramatic nature of this stunning dress, I feel like it is just blah on Natalie, as it’s not really her style, and I think she struggles to pull it off.

How Daisy Lowe ever became a model is beyond me.

She wore her printed dress under her winter warmer.

Olga Kurylenko opted for another Chanel ensemble. This time she wore a cropped jacket with jeweled details, and a drop-waist white dress from the Chanel Spring 2009 collection.

Simple, but very chic. She really has had a fantastic week.


Daniel Craig and his partner Satsuki Mitchell arrived at the Paris premiere of Quantum of Solace, colour coordinated in black.

Daniel wore a 3 piece suit and overcoat, whilst Satsuki braved the cold to wear a strapless Amanda Wakeley Fall 2008 gown, with a layered skirt and fold details on the bodice.

Much better effort from Satsuki, and I really like her hairstyle.

October 30th, 2008

Both Princes William and Harry attended this premiere, so we had a Royal premiere in London tonight, and the ladies dressed up for the occasion.

Especially Bond Girl Olga Kurylenko, who wore that stunning Valentino Fall 2008 Couture red gown, which we first saw the back of in Daphne Guinness’ Vogue Italia shoot.

I adore the front of the dress, but the back detail, is a tad OTT, and I am wondering how does one sit and enjoy the movie wearing that dress?

It is friggin freezing in London today. I had on my boots, my snood, my winter coat, and I was still really cold. So I really admire Gemma Arterton for braving the cold wearing this purplicious Balmain Spring 2009 dress.

The two-tone dress, with a large black and silver waist belt, is cut-out at the front to reveal Gemma’s long legs.

The colour is divine on her, and I adore her studded heels, but I just think this dress looked a bit better on the runway.

Katherine Jenkins showed her patriotic side, quite appropriate as the Princes were also on the red carpet. The singer wore a Alexander McQueen bustier dress, with a print of their grandmother on the front.

I’m sure they shared a chuckle when they saw her dress.

Jack White and wife Karen Elson brought Halloween forward a day early.

Satsuki Mitchell should have been the girl with the golden dress, as she stood next to her boyf Daniel Craig tonight on the red carpet, but unfortunately her dress did not stand out as much as the others, as it was a tad dull.
