Osman Fall 2012

Osman’s minimalist Fall 2012 collection consisted mostly of a rich floral metallic brocade which was to be found on collars, cuffs, pants, capes and strapless dresses.

I loved how the designer was very playful with the floral brocade by mixing it with other prints, which worked.

On a colour palette of lime green, red and black we saw fur-accented jackets, cigarette pants, full-length coats plus day and evening dresses.

I loved the rise-and-fall cut of the skirts and dresses which the designer lined with a contrasting colour or a more floral brocade.

Models stormed the runway wearing Lemaresca for Osman lace-up boots and mules which also got the brocade treatment.

Who I See Wearing This Collection: Florence Welch, Gemma Arterton, Laura Bailey, Olivia Palermo and Rihanna

This week you voted for simple elegance, as Thandie Newton was your best dressed wearing a beautiful black Osman gown.

Her chic black one-shoulder gown with a flash of gold from her belt was perfectly accessorized with a Roger Vivier clutch, Solange Azagury-Partridge tassel earrings and Charlotte Olympia wedges.

Lea Seydoux was my favourite this week.

I love that she has the bombshell vibe about her, without being so upfront like Amber Heard.

She quietly smouldered on the red carpet wearing head-to-toe Prada.

The dress was gorgeous, but her accessories were to die for.

The Laureus World Sports Awards 2012 took place in London last night and we finally got to see the lovely Thandie Newton return to the red carpet.

She wore a beautiful Osman Resort 2012 dress.

The ‘oh so simple, yet stunning’ one-shoulder look drapes around her body and is accented with a gold waistband.

The black-and-gold Roger Vivier ‘Nonsense’ clutch complements the dress as does her Charlotte Olympia wedges, but it’s those gold Solange Azagury-Partridge tassle earrings that I absolutely love.

As always she is glowing, with her hair swept to one side and the beautiful copper lip colour providing the perfect finishing touch.

This is my first contender for BDOTW.

I don’t think I have ever featured Thandie without adding her to the poll. That is how consistent she has been.

She also never ages.

Nicole Richie joined Diane Kruger in wearing black on the red carpet at the 2011 UNICEF Ball which took place in LA last night.

The creative director for House of Harlow and Winter Kate has gone from boho, to being obsessed with Halston, to her current phase which is a very chic and sophisticated grown-up look.

Oh how she’s grown from being Paris Hilton’s sidekick.

Nicole’s Osman Fall 2011 gown has a leather cut-out bodice with a sleek black skirt with a train.

Her gown is sexy but her styling is elegant, with a simple updo, kohl-rimmed eyes and ornate earrings.

No Nicole look is complete without a clutch from her House of Harlow collection.

Which look do you prefer? The runway or Nicole’s version?

Lady Gaga was spotted headed to the Rellik Vintage boutique in Notting Hill, London tonight wearing her second Osman look of the day.

Earlier she wore a lemon dress from Osman’s Spring 2012 collection, but on this occasion she donned an electric blue halter twisted top with a bow accent and matching pants.

The British designer would’ve been happy to see Gaga wear one look, but two in a day is a major coup.

I love Gaga’s styling, sans platform sandals.

As you know I do love a matchy matchy look, especially when worn so well in my favourite colour: electric blue.

Which look do you prefer?

The lemon or the electric blue?

Lady Gaga was spotted leaving her hotel in London today, posing like she was about to take to a runway with her hands on her hips.

The singer was in a summery mood wearing an Osman Spring 2012 lemon dress with a central split.

Her dress is a modified version of the dress on the runway, but her dress still has the twisted neckline and bow accent on the back.

Heart-shaped shades, orange lippie and yet another pair of Christian Louboutin ‘Daffodil’ pumps, this time in gold, completed her look.
