Emma Watson In Elie Saab Couture – ‘Beauty and the Beast’ Shanghai Premiere

The next stop on the ‘Beauty and the Beast’ press tour for Emma Watson was Shanghai, China, where she continued to stun at the premiere there on Monday (February 27).

Her softly glittering Elie Saab Couture creation in tulle and crepe georgette, embroidered with silk thread, sequins, beads and stones, was one of pure enchantment. The matching cape added another element of magic that left me even more entranced, as did her sparkling Repossi jewels.

While she again opted for more of a non-traditional princess moment, I would say that there is so much fairy-tale-inspired fantasy tied up in this gown.

But, even more than that, this look is more than just a dazzling design. It is one that again supports Emma’s environmentally conscious efforts, as the eco-responsible, custom pieces were made in close cooperation with Eco Age using leftover fabrics from previous Haute Couture collections.

Being green has never looked so gorgeous.

2017 Oscar Parties Roundup

The 2017 Oscars party circuit was in full tilt with so many other style darlings in attendance at both the 2017 Vanity Fair Oscar Party and Elton John’s AIDS Foundation’s Academy Awards Viewing Party on Sunday (February 26). Here, a roundup of additional looks from the star-studded evening.

Emily Ratajkowski: Glitz and glam feathers both played a sultry game in this Jonathan Simkhai Fall 2017 plunge gown.

Priyanka Chopra: Speaking of glitter, Priyanka’s black Michael Kors Collection gown would have just been a standard black dress had it not been for the blitz of sequins.

Sia: I had to do a double-take with the singer’s custom Giorgio Armani cantaloupe-hued suit, as the nude-coloured lining provided a strange effect that made her hat-topped head almost appear to be floating.

Elizabeth Banks In Elie Saab Couture – 2017 Vanity Fair Oscar Party

There were plenty of warm, fuzzy feelings to be had upon seeing Elizabeth Banks on the red carpet for the 2017 Vanity Fair Oscar Party on Sunday (February 26).

Much like those feelings you have after seeing an old friend after an extended period.

My favourite girl hasn’t lost any of her charm, elegance or grace.

I was excited to see that the union with Elie Saab is still going strong – as most of her magic moments have come from the Lebanese designer.

Elie Saab’s Fall 2016 Couture collection was one of his finest to date, as he showcased his impeccable approach to craftsmanship and returned to his out-of-the-box design which is presented within this masterpiece.

Now, I know I’ll be deemed totally biased by saying that this was one of the best looks of the night, so what do you think?

Lily Collins In Elie Saab Couture – 2017 Vanity Fair Oscar Party

Lily Collins was one of stars I was most interested to see at the 2017 Vanity Fair Oscar Party on Sunday (February 26).

She didn’t disappoint as her Elie Saab Fall 2016 Couture gown was oozing with Old Hollywood glamour with retro waves to match.

Topped off with a seductive berry lip, and Charlotte Olympia heels, the look lives up to Elie Saab’s undeniably feminine aesthetic.

Freida Pinto In Rohit Gandhi + Rahul Khanna & Elie Saab – 2017 Oscar Parties

Freida Pinto’s pre-Oscars looks at the Women in Film Pre-Oscar Cocktail Party and the Film Independent Spirit Awards has us worried, but things took a better turn for the Oscar parties on Sunday (February 26).

Elton John AIDS Foundation’s Academy Awards Viewing Party: The Indian actress started her night wearing a Rohit Gandhi + Rahul Khanna embellished gown. I love the pop of colour via the fringed Corto Moltedo clutch and the sassy sandals. This made me breath a sign of relief that she’s back on the right track.

Vanity Fair Oscar Party: The good times continued to roll with this Elie Saab gown. The dolphin-blue hue is breath-taking, the slit was tantalising and the accessories including Jimmy Choo ‘Minny’ sandals, added a golden touch.

Was this a return to form for Freida? Or are you still not impressed with her current red carpet style?

Meryl Streep In Elie Saab Couture – 2017 Oscars

Meryl Streep attended the 2017 Oscars on Sunday (February 26) in Hollywood, California.

Known for what can be a quirkier red-carpet aesthetic, she chose both a gown and pants in a custom Elie Saab Couture embellished design that was rendered in a deep teal hue.

Dramatic in both silhouette and colour, she reflected the monochromatic look in her perfectly matched Charlotte Olympia clutch and Fred Leighton jewels.

Did you like her fashionable fusion of dress and trousers?
