Jessica Stam In Marchesa – 40th Annual FiFi Awards

Jessica Stam joined Nicole Richie on the red carpet in New York City last night for the 40th annual FiFi Awards at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center.

The model, who I recognised on this occasion, wore a beautiful Marchesa dress.

Her ivory dress with cap sleeves, a draped detail at the waist and stunning sequin embellishment along the bust line is yet another glamorous piece for the Stam.

She styled her look with a snakeskin clutch and black Roger Vivier ‘Cecil’ T-bar sandals.

Normally I would be opposed to black sandals with a nice white dress. Silver sandals would’ve been preferred, especially with that neckline, but there’s something about Jessica’s edgy persona which makes them work.

Naomi Watts In Marchesa – ‘Madagascar 3′ Cannes Film Festival Premiere

Naomi Watts was radiant on the red carpet for the ‘Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted’ premiere during the 2012 Cannes Film Festival at the Palais des Festivals this evening.

She opted to wear a beautiful Marchesa Fall 2012 gown.

Many of you objected to the over-the-top frou frouness of Eva Longoria’s opening night Marchesa gown, so how does this nude feather-embroidered illusion dress with cascade skirt fair in your eyes?

As someone said earlier, Naomi gets better with every red carpet appearance. Consider this case in point.

Marcel waves with feather accents, a silver embellished clutch and a Chopard white diamond collar necklace completed her look.

Eva Longoria In Marchesa – ‘Moonrise Kingdom’ Cannes Film Festival Premiere & Opening Ceremony

Eva Longoria attended the opening ceremony of the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, which hosted the premiere for ‘Moonrise Kingdom’ this evening in Cannes.

The former ‘Desperate Housewives’ star did what she does best at Cannes: shut the whole red carpet down.

For 353 days of the year she’s a total snooze, but during Cannes she’s unstoppable.

She floated down the red carpet wearing a Marchesa gown, which was frankly made for an Amazonian supermodel, but Eva easily pulls it off.

The stunning gown with intricate embroidered details trails off into a breath-taking tulle train.

A sleek updo, shimmering nude lip colour and a Marchesa bejeweled clutch with a quartz clasp completed her look.

Dear Eva,

Keep to this standard from now on.

Regards,

FC and the RCFA readers x

Check out the back. No ugly zipper…yay.

Kristen Stewart In Marchesa – ‘Snow White And The Huntsman’ London Premiere

Kristen Stewart joined Charlize Theron on the grass-green carpet for the London premiere of their latest movie ‘Snow White and the Hunstman’ in Leicester Square this evening.

The actress wore a Marchesa Fall 2012 gown.

Her black long-sleeve lace gown with an embroidered skeleton illusion bodysuit was the perfect look for this premiere for Kristen.

It’s gothic romance without being too girlie or too prim. Her stylist found the right balance on this occasion.

The only thing that let Kristen down were the black Jimmy Choo ‘Eros’ pumps. It looks she’s hiding bricks under her dress. A nice strappy black sandals would’ve been more elegant for her light-weight gown.

A gold accent entwined into her simple bun and Kara Ackerman Designs rings completed her look.

The ‘less is more’ red carpet approach works better for Kristen. It’s a good thing her teamed went with that on this occasion.

Sofia Vergara In Marchesa – 2012 Met Gala

Sofia Vergara looked stunning on the red carpet at the 2012 Met Gala, held on Monday night in New York City.

The actress wore a Marchesa Spring 2012 gown.

Her silver embroidered illusion column dress with pleated tulle bodice, was styled with complementary Harry Winston jewels.

I’m glad she’s finally found the happy medium of looking sexy without having everything on display.

This is my favourite red carpet look from her.

Leighton Meester In Marchesa – 2012 Met Gala

We can usually count on Leighton Meester to deliver one of the most daring looks at the annual Met Gala, but such was not the case last night at the 2012 Met Gala in New York City.

Leighton arrived looking more like her Upper East Side ‘Gossip Girl’ character, Blair Waldorf, than the risk-taking fashionista that we’re used to, wearing a gold appliqué and nude tulle Marchesa Fall 2012 gown.

The gown is beautiful, in typical Marchesa fashion, but I think it would be better suited to someone like Anne Hathaway.

With her hair pulled back and a wine-coloured lip colour, which was too harsh for her look, the actress added a gold Marchesa clutch to provide the finishing touch.

This is a rare miss for Leighton, both in the dress and makeup department.
