Willow Smith In Chanel & Jada Pinkett Smith In Alexander McQueen – 15th Annual From Slavery to Freedom Gala

While the boys are away in Asia, Jada Pinkett Smith and daughter Willow Smith attended the Coalition to Abolish Slavery and Trafficking 15th Annual From Slavery to Freedom Event held at Sofitel Hotel in Los Angeles, California yesterday evening.

There is a lot going on here that I don’t like.

Willow Smith: The young singer, who has had more misses than hits, wore a Chanel Spring 2013 jumpsuit which we have seen twice before on Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Miley Cyrus. The problem here is that she is way too short for the look; the pants are dragging on the floor, so you only get a peek at her Christian Louboutin ‘Manovra’ slingback pumps. The cropped jacket is a cute addition, as is the hat, but that blonde wig is ridiculous.

Jada Pinkett Smith: After burning myself on a recent trip to Portugal I should feel some sympathy for Jada, but I don’t. That orange over-tanned glow and her well-tailored peachy-coloured Alexander McQueen suit with satin trims do not go well together.

You can buy Willow’s Christian Louboutin ‘Manovra’ slingback pumps from Net-A-Porter.com.

Datoka Fanning In Chanel – Front Row @ Chanel Cruise 2014

Can you believe that the Resort 2014 collections are already here?

Karl Lagerfeld unveiled his Cruise 2014 collection for Chanel yesterday in Singapore, which was attended by Dakota Fanning.

The actress, who was decked out in head-to-toe Chanel, wore a slightly modified version of a Fall 2013 look which took to the runway.

She opted to wear her strapless A-line dress without the sheer vest, plus she opted to wear her chain-accented ankle boots sans leather leg-warmers, and swapped the chunky Chanel jewels for a simple bracelet and oversized ring, with an obligatory Chanel chain-accented bag completing the look.

As always, the hair and makeup is extremely lacklustre.

Do you prefer Elle’s or the runway styling?

Diane Kruger In Chanel Couture – 2013 Met Gala

Diane Kruger and her handsome man, Joshua Jackson, attended the 2013 Met Gala at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

While he hit a prepster note, our fashion-girl found her inner punk-party gal with a Chanel Spring 2013 Couture dress.

The luxed-up, black lacy frock featured a sheer, gauzy overlay, which gave it a vampy vibe.

On Monday night, we also saw ‘Vogue’ editrix and gala co-chair Anna Wintour, along with Bella Heathcote, in looks from this Karl Lagerfeld Spring 2013 couture collection. But Diane’s exit was the most dark and gothic of the three.

She accessorized with Jacob & Co. chunky chain bangles and a clutch that was truly spiked and dangerous.

Her dip-dyed blonde strands sported a bubble-gum pink shade, which added some unorthodox—and fun—edge to her low, knotted-up ponytail.

All in all, the look was simultaneously glamorous and subversive… we should have expected as much from Diane.

Ashley Olsen In vintage Dior & Mary-Kate Olsen In vintage Chanel – 2013 Met Gala

Don’t be surprised that the Olsen twins opted to go vintage and oversized at the 2013 Met Gala on Monday evening; after all, this is their red carpet M.O.

Ashley Olsen: The designer’s beaded orange Dior Couture dress with a sheer overlay is a beautiful design, but for some reason made me think of one of Andre Leon Tally’s capes.

Mary-Kate Olsen: This look was my least favourite of the two; her Chanel beaded, drop-waist black dress would’ve been so much better without the fur-trimmed robe.

Which Olsen look works better for you?

Ashley? Mary-Kate? Or none-of-the-above?

One wonders if the words; belt, or waist-nipping mean anything to these girls.

January Jones In Chanel – 2013 Met Gala

January Jones completely threw me for a loop, as she took to the 2013 Met Gala red carpet on Monday in New York City.

The ‘Mad Men’ actress was worlds away from her classic Betty Draper character (and from her sublime Met moment last year). But she did put on quite the show with this punk-star alter-ego.

She chopped off the longer knee-length of this Chanel Spring 2009 Couture square-shoulder dress, encrusted with shiny paillettes, which lent an edgier appeal.

The frock paired with metallic shoes was fine, daresay forgettable, but what was more intriguing was January’s hair and makeup.

Talk about a makeover. She outlined her eyes in a heavy, geometric application of liner and covered up her brows. It all made for quite the sci-fi effect—call it alien punk.

A mini-bouffant and braided-back locks topped off the look.

Bella Heathcote In Chanel – 2013 Met Gala

Bella Heathcote lived up to her name, as she cut a pretty profile when she walked the red carpet at the Met Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Like ‘Vogue’ editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, the young starlet wore a frock from Chanel’s Spring 2013 Couture runway.

Devoid of spikes and studs, this black-and-white lace dress is not the most punk-rock moment we’ve seen tonight. But the razor-sharp cut of the shoulders added a certain amount of edge.

The Australian actress accessorized with a Chanel black clutch and sparkle from Chanel Fine Jewelry, along with Jimmy Choo ‘Kendall’ sandals. However, I wish she had exchanged her standard, metallic peep-toes for another more adventurous pair—even the lace bootie seen on the runway would have added some funkiness here.

She left the teased and tortured hair for others to flaunt, finishing her prim moment with a polished, side-parted low updo and a light pink lippie.

What do you think? Did Bella deliver too much prettiness or just the right amount of punk?
