Red Carpet Fashion Awards

One of the many runway trends from the Spring 2012 collections was the use of polka dots, large and small. We saw them at Luca Luca, Adam, Suno and Tory Burch.

Hollywood stars have gone dotty for the trend as it has been popping up on the streets of LA and New York.

Jessica Alba wore a Lovers + Friends polka-dot top with slouchy boyish Current/Elliott chinos for playtime in the park with her kids.

Katie Holmes casually styled her halter polka-dot top with fitted jeans. Miley Cyrus gave the feminine trend an edge with her biker boots and Keira Knightley added retro red shorts to her black polka-dot blouse.

I love how pretty and feminine polka dots are – they form a simple yet classic print that will remain in your closet for years, plus they’re much less overwhelming than a large floral or graphic print.

Cate Blanchett attended the Gotham Magazine party at The London Hotel in New York City last night to celebrate her cover.

Even though I’m still recovering from her first Givenchy Resort 2013 look from earlier in the week, the actress selected her second look from said collection for this event.

Once again I’m not excited about this look.

Cate has always has a good relationship with Givenchy, but maybe she should consider going on a break because this collection is not doing her any favours.

The black-and-white blouse would’ve looked great with a simple black pencil skirt or cropped pants, because I really dislike the printed pencil skirt.

Then factor in those Roger Vivier ‘Cloud’ black lace-up open-toe booties once again, plus the black-and-orange Givenchy woven clutch and we have yet another overly fussy look.

Cate Blanchett attended the ‘Uncle Vanya’ cast photocall in New York City on Saturday afternoon.

The Australian actress donned a Givenchy Resort 2013 dress.

Cate can usually pull off trick pieces like this with total ease, but there is something about this look that isn’t quite working for me on this occasion.

The model worked this dress with a pencil skirt, flared elbow-length sleeves and a geometric bodice with a paisley printed scarf-like detailing to perfection.

Maybe it’s the addition of Cate’s overly fussy Roger Vivier ‘Cloud’ black lace-up open-toe booties which sent me over the edge.

A side-parted hairstyle and natural-looking makeup completed the look.

Officially showcasing her cropped hairdo for the first time on the red carpet, Anne Hathaway looked stunning whilst supporting Christopher Nolan at his Hand and Footprint Ceremony on Saturday in Hollywood, California.

Wearing a Givenchy Spring 2012 black sleeveless peplum halter dress with cascading ruffles was the perfect choice to not upstage the man of the hour.

Her stylish dress was coordinated with black Tory Burch ‘Rosemary’ open toe sandals (surprisingly not the popular Givenchy sandals) and minimal jewelry.

Light makeup for a fresh-faced look completed the look.

I guess this will kick-start the promo tour for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’, which hits theatres on July 20.

I hope she wears some McQueen and Valentino.

Summer is just beginning, but it seems as though we already have our shoe of the season.

Celebrities everywhere have been spotted wearing strappy Givenchy sandals.

Diane Kruger first sported the heels last month at the Cannes Film Festival, pairing the simple white heels with a girly coral Calvin Klein dress.

Proving their astonishing versatility, Cassie wore the very same pair the next day with a wildly different look.

Decked out in an exotic printed Salvatore Ferragamo jumpsuit, the simple sandals are a perfect balance to the bold look.

Jennifer Hudson, Jennifer Connelly and Amanda Seyfried have all recently worn the sandals on the red carpet, while Fergie took the shoes in a casual direction for a flight to LAX wearing a sporty Alexander Wang ensemble.

In both black and white, these two-strap heels are the perfect subtle shoes to match pretty much any outfit.

Metallic accents give off a luxe feel, while the minimal coverage complements each ensemble without overpowering.

We expect to see many more Givenchy sandals stomp down the carpet in the coming months.

My heart sank when I saw Amanda Seyfried on the red carpet at the 2012 Tony Awards, held at the Beacon Theatre in New York City this evening.

This look will give me nightmares.

I don’t think I have ever disliked a look worn by Amanda Seyfried, but as the saying goes, “there’s a first time for everything”.

The actress donned a Givenchy Fall 2012 purple slip dress with gold embellished details which was accented with an orange belt.

Seeing this look on someone as gorgeous and flawless as Amanda proves my theory, this collection was always going to be difficult to translate well on the red carpet.

What was she thinking? And the Tony Awards of all occasions.

Apart from those Givenchy sandals, I can’t find one good thing to say about this look.

Can you?

Fred Leighton jewels and an orange Givenchy clutch accessorized her look.
