Zhang Yuqi In Alexander McQueen – Prix de Diane Longines

Zhang Yuqi, our breakout star of Cannes Film Festival, made a welcome return to the red carpet at the Prix de Diane Longines held at Hippodrome de Chantilly in Paris, France on Sunday.

The stunning actress wore a very chic look from Alexander McQueen’s Fall 2013 collection, which featured a white mandarin-collared blouse with gold button fastenings and puff sleeves with ruffled cuts, paired with a teal-green calf-length pencil skirt.

I love the styling, which includes a leather corseted belt to give this ladylike look a classic McQueen edge, a white clutch, green suede pumps and an obligatory Longines timepiece in rose gold.

The hat I don’t love as much as the rest of her accessories, mostly because it instantly made me think of a graduation cap.

Gwyneth Paltrow In Alexander McQueen – Gene Siskel Film Center Gala Honoring Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow was the honoured guest at the Gene Siskel Film Center Gala, as she received the Renaissance Award last night in Chicago, Illinois.

For the occasion, the actress wore a creamy ivory Alexander McQueen Fall 2013 dress that wasn’t nearly as leggy as some of her recent entrances.

The strictly structured, cap-sleeve bodice gave way to a looser pleated tennis skirt, while the frock was elevated by a regal brocade, tone-on-tone print.

She added some sparkle to the demure ensemble with two rows of Pomellato’s signature supersize link-chain bracelets along with shiny gold peep-toe pumps.

Her centre-parted, straight hairstyle, which we know all too well, appeared again here. With the high collar of this dress, a swept-back updo couldn’t have hurt.

Do you like Gwynnie’s look, or are you too distracted by her déjà-vu ‘do.

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge In Alexander McQueen – Trooping The Colour

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, made what is expected to be her final public appearance, before starting her maternity leave, Saturday at the Trooping the Colour ceremony in London.

On this occasion the eight months pregnant Duchess wore a pale pink Alexander McQueen coat, custom made by Sarah Burton.

The wide collar coat featuring oversized pearl buttons was accessorised with a Jane Corbett matchy pink hat (which you may remember she wore once before to the Buckingham Palace garden party last year), Annoushka pearl earrings and an Alexander McQueen clutch.

I know many of you don’t agree with me, but I enjoyed Kate’s maternity style. It was so much more interesting and varied with not many (if any) repeats.

Naomi Campbell In Alexander McQueen – Glamour Women of the Year Awards 2013

Naomi Campbell was also in Berkeley Square Gardens in London on Tuesday evening for the Glamour Women of the Year Awards 2013.

The supermodel, who is currently in town shooting her modelling reality TV show ‘The Face’, wore an Alexander McQueen black dress with gold-embellished shoulders which resembles some pieces we saw in the Resort 2011 collection.

I want to like this look, but I can’t. It doesn’t scream supermodel to me. I don’t like the pleated skirt, and the styling is very lacklustre.

I’m also bothered by the way she styled her hair with such a decorative neckline.

It’s a no from head to toe.

Shu Qi In Alexander McQueen – Roger Vivier Hangzhou Store Opening

Shu Qi attended the Roger Vivier Hangzhou store opening in China on Saturday.

The actress would’ve stood out wearing a bold hued Alexander McQueen jacquard sunflower yellow dress with a tonal honeycomb and bee pattern throughout which was a signature of the Spring 2013 collection.

Her dress also featured exaggerated off the shoulder detail and a deep curved V neckline giving the sweet dress a sexy edge.

Supporting the Roger Vivier’s opening Shu Qi accessorized her look with a mini ‘Prismick’ shoulder bag and ‘Bibendum’ sandals.

You can buy Shu Qi’s Alexander McQueen dress from farfetch.com US and farfetch.com.

Tom Hiddleston In Alexander McQueen – ‘Only Lovers Left Alive’ Cannes Film Festival Premiere

Tom Hiddleston joined Tilda Swinton at the Palais des Festival in France yesterday afternoon for the Cannes Film Festival photocall for their new movie, ‘Only Lovers Left Alive’ where he wore a cool-blue three-piece suit styled with a white pocket square, white open shirt and brown shoes.

By night he changed into yet another slick suit for the premiere, opting for an Alexander McQueen single breasted suit styled with a white shirt, black tonal skull bow tie and patent leather shoes.

Both looks were appropriate for the occasion. The cool-blue suit worked wonderfully with the French Riviera in the back drop and the McQueen suit befitted the formal occasion and fit to perfection.

We have seen so many great suits this week, it will be hard to pick a favourite.
