Red Carpet Fashion Awards

Alicia Vikander In Louis Vuitton - 2013 Elle Style AwardsCheck mate! Alicia Vikander literally didn’t venture outside the box at Monday evening’s 2013 Elle Style Awards at the Savoy Hotel in London.

The Swedish actress wasn’t about to be left out of the checquerboard game that was Louis Vuitton’s Spring 2013 runway.

She was hip to be square, showing off her legs (and a lot more, too) in her abbreviated frock from the incredibly popular collection. It wasn’t quite as see-through as the dress on the model, thanks to some strategically placed underlining.

The geometry continued with her boxy, Smythson ‘Floating Envelope’ clutch, and I loved that she borrowed inspiration from the yellow runway with her pointy Christian Louboutin ‘Batignolles’ pumps.

Radiant makeup and pretty curls completed this look from one of our Ones to Watch in 2013.

We’ve seen the checquered trend played out so many times before on the red carpet, so now I say what’s another time.

Did this Editor’s Choice award winner win your vote with her sheer love of LV?

Thandie Newton in Louis Vuitton - 2013 BAFTA AwardsThandie Newton must have been in a seductive mood, as she hit the red carpet at Sunday’s 2013 BAFTA Awards, held at London’s Royal Opera House.

The British actress followed the lace trend with her black Louis Vuitton halter gown.

She also capitalized on that frequently seen thigh-high slit, not to mention the sheer and solid obsession, as the itty bitty LBD was overlaid with see-through laciness.

Thandie paired the dress with a black handbag and gold Art-Deco-inspired earrings.

A bold red lip and tightly wound, side-swept curls finished this vamp-star look, although the overall effect may have translated more sleekly with a simple updo.

amfAR New York Gala 1

Many more stars joined Sarah Jessica Parker and Alexa Chung on the red carpet last night for the amfAR New York Gala to kick off Fall 2013 Fashion Week.

Heidi Klum: No surprises that the Project Runway host wore a Michael Kors gown. Her black jersey halter gown with crystal embroidery was styled with a white-and-black diamond necklace and a matching ring by her favourite jeweller, Lorraine Schwartz. Sleek locks and kohl-rimmed eyes completed her look.

Crystal Renn: The model was wearing… you guessed it – Zac Posen. Her bold red gown with a floor-sweeping skirt was styled with Lorraine Schwartz ruby earrings and a retro updo. As predictable as this look is, for Crystal it never gets old.

Jessica Alba In Louis Vuitton - 'Escape From Planet Earth' LA PremiereJessica Alba attended the ‘Escape From Planet Earth’ Los Angeles premiere last night at Mann Chinese 6.

The actress went for top-to-toe Louis Vuitton with a red-and-black lacy moment from Pre-Fall 2013, paired with a shoulder bag and embellished shoe.

For the red (or blue!) carpet, Jessica dolled up the dramatic, straight-laced lookbook version, which appeared to be hiding under a black overcoat, with Jennifer Meyer jewels, plus her ombre-effect waves and lighter nude lip.

But she inserted the heaviness right back in with a pair of black tights that I just couldn’t get behind. Something about the strap of her handbag also cluttered this look.

With Bérénice Bejo and Jessica both looking ahead to LV’s pre-fall foray, perhaps the checquered game from Spring 2013 has finally seen its last player. But I doubt it.

Bérénice Bejo In Louis Vuitton - 2013 DGA AwardsYesterday evening, Bérénice Bejo attended the 2013 Directors Guild of America Awards at The Ray Dolby Ballroom at the Hollywood & Highland Center in California.

Leaving behind Louis Vuitton’s popular Spring 2013 checquerboard collection, the French actress looked ahead to Pre-Fall 2013 with her black-and-bronze sequined dress from the designer.

The retro-inspired collar and dropped waist perhaps inspired her side-swept pin waves, but it all translated as a bit muddled, especially when mixed with a casual LV clutch.

Like the lookbook, she popped up the dark, moody moment with an on-trend matte red lip and matching manicure and pedicure.

Her matching gold-and-black LV sandal lifted the heaviness even more, but I found the ankle strap that cut the line of her leg rather bothersome.

Tallulah Harlech In Louis Vuitton - BFC Vogue Designer Fashion Fund Winners Announcement

Tallulah Harlech joined a very fashionable crowd at Nobu Berkeley in London last night for the BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund winners announcement.

The British actress and model – and daughter of the Chanel muse, Lady Amanda Harlech – who can probably get away with calling Karl Lagerfeld ‘Uncle Karl’ becomes the 17th celebrity to wear a piece from the Louis Vuitton Spring 2013 collection.

As you know, we’ve seen plenty of the black-and-white, nude-and-ivory and lime-green-and-white pieces, but this is a first outing for a yellow-and-white chequered look.

It’s also the first time we are seeing a two-piece look from the collection.

Considering we can see Tallulah’s belly button, there is a strong possibility that this look only consists of two pieces – or she has a crop top under her chequered jacket.

With so much love for this collection, I wonder who’s going to be number 18.
