Red Carpet Fashion Awards

A number of celebrities headed to the gardens of Versailles on Monday for the Chanel Cruise 2013 presentation.

Tilda Swinton: The actress looked perfectly put together, wearing a crisp white button-down shirt and wide-legged pants, worn under a beautiful Chanel tweed overcoat. It’s hard to imagine Tilda in a frothy Chanel dress, a la Rachel Bilson, and this aesthetic fits her perfectly.

Vanessa Paradis: Wearing a multi-coloured Resort 2012 dress, the French actress looks absolutely gorgeous. I love how despite the asymmetrical strap, glitter and abstract print, this still looks very elegant and ladylike.

Ines de La Fressange: The French model looked very chic in an all-white ensemble from the Resort 2012 collection. As an ambassador for Roger Vivier accessories, Ines livened up her neutral dress with add-ons from the brand, including a silver clutch, sunnies and bright orange flats.

Alice Dellal: As the face of the Chanel Boy handbag, Alice was in attendance wearing a Chanel Spring 2012 Couture dress. Her embellished pink tea-length dress with pink ribbon embroidery works surprisingly well with her signature half-shaven head and messy eyeliner. This is the perfect ‘good meets bad’, ‘classic Chanel meets no bra’ kinda look. Teal python platforms accessorized the look.

Rosario Dawson was front row at Elie Saab’s Fall 2012 presentation during Paris Fashion Week yesterday afternoon.

The actress, who has been frequenting Europe often, wore an Elie Saab powder-blue dress.

Her pleated long-sleeve dress with a jewelled neckline was teamed with Elie Saab accessories including a dark pink box clutch and coral pink ankle-strap sandals.

Shimmering light blue eye makeup, glossy lips and a ponytail completed her look.

Miu Miu also had a celeb-packed front row yesterday.

Mia Wasikowska: The current face of Miu Miu was front and centre wearing a bi-colour pink-and-black dress with a flared skirt. This is a typically demure choice for the actress, but I wish she would opt for shoes in a colour other than nude just once.

Lea Seydoux: The French actress was in head-to-toe Prada, which is not surprising considering she’s the face of Prada’s Resort 2012 ad campaign. What is surprising is that she’s cut off all her lovely hair. I’m not sure if it is for a new role, or if she just fancied a change, but I did not recognise her. She donned an embroidered black Prada dress with her second pair of Prada flame heels, this time in green. A black flame clutch completed her look.

Katy Perry: The Paris Fashion Week Fall 2012 ‘Queen of the Front Row’ donned a cute pink Prada Spring 2012 flame-print pleated dress. I love her quirky accessories which include a blue Prada Saffiano Lux Pyramid bag with studs and the Prada flame sandals in lemon, but that hair goes from bad to worse.

Kate Mara: The actress opted for a rich, warm berry Miu Miu look featuring a leather trend with jewel button, worn over a top with a black Peter Pan embellished collar and shorts to match. I’m not so crazy about the fuchsia-pink Miu Miu peep-toes – they feel a tad stark against the berry – but I do like the leather pochette.

The front row at Louis Vuitton was full of glamorous stars.

The US flew the much-loved Sarah Jessica Parker over. Asia did the same with their biggest star, Fan Bingbing, whilst the UK sent Abbey Clancy to represent us.

I mean really? Was Alexa Chung not available?

Whilst the WAG / TV presenter / lads’ mag model doesn’t have the same status as Bingbing or Parker, she did look good on this occasion.

No gimmicks, no exposed bra, just a feathered Louis Vuitton Spring 2012 white coat over a pink satin dress which she accessorized with white LV silver toe-cap pumps.

A ballerina bun and barely-there makeup completed her look.

Our favourite Asian actress, Fan Bingbing, has been M.I.A for a while.

I was delighted to see her in Paris for Louis Vuitton’s Fall 2012 presentation this morning.

Oh how I have missed her. I mean who else is going to show up at a fashion show channelling Hilda Ogden.

Whilst paying homage to the British TV legend wearing a white lace head wrap over her red curls, she wore a white Louis Vuitton Spring 2012 laser cut dress with a voluminous skirt.

I love the chic white wool coat worn over her shoulders. It gives her look cosy winter feel.

A white clutch and red platform pumps to match her red lips completed her look.

I love Sarah Jessica Parker, I really do, but she doesn’t half test my love.

If she’s not over accessorising, she wearing a cross body bag on the red carpet.

Today the actress was front row at Louis Vuitton during Paris Fashion Week wearing a Louis Vuitton Spring 2005 look which features my two pet peeves: a visible bra and white shoes.

I would’ve given her a pass on the white LV pumps, but I just can’t get on board with the bra which is visible via the lace part of her LWD.

This is such a huge shame because I love the dress, just not how she has presented it.

I do, however, love her voluminous mane.

Love or loathe?
