2018 Governors Awards

The 2018 Governors Awards on Sunday (November 18) in Hollywood, California were a star-studded affair. Lovely ladies joined Rosamund Pike and Lupita Nyong’o.

Emily Blunt: The ‘Mary Poppins Returns’ actress glimmered in a custom Dundas top and skirt with Jimmy Choo shoes and David Yurman jewels. Despite the plethora of crop tops we have seen, this sharp-shouldered style held my attention thanks to the luxurious mix of metallics.

Gemma Chan: The flowing shape of the ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ star’s Stella McCartney ensemble was accented with the pleated shoulder detail. The finishing touches and wrinkles bring it down slightly.

Amy Adams: She lightened up in a whimsical Schiaparelli gown. The refined silhouette balances the girlish pink tones and heart detail. A crushed velvet Tyler Ellis clutch brought in more feminine charm.

Ava DuVernay In Greta Constantine - Elton John AIDS Foundation's 17th Annual An Enduring Vision Benefit

Ava DuVernay was joined by Bryan Stevenson for the Elton John AIDS Foundation’s 17th Annual An Enduring Vision Benefit on Monday (November 5) in New York City.

What we learned from Cannes Film Festival, is that Ava likes simple, floor-length silhouettes and bold colours.

Her Greta Constantine custom long-sleeved gown ticked all her boxes, with ruched sleeves adding elegant detailing.

2018 Black Girls Rock! Awards

There were plenty more gorgeous girls who hit the red carpet at the Black Girls Rock! 2018 Awards on Sunday (August 26) in Newark, New Jersey.

Amandla Stenberg: Predicting Amandla’s style is damn near impossible at the moment. But I love how she keeps us on our toes. This Thom Browne Fall 2018 striped suit sees her work a boyish look, which may look like it shrunk in the wash, but seeing how the look appeared on the runway, she managed to make it her own.

Leomie Anderson: Like Naomi Campbell, Leomie brought plenty of glamour to the event wearing a gorgeous yellow Galvan London satin dress styled with spiked Christian Louboutin shoes and Tiffany & Co. jewels.

Lena Waithe: The ‘Ready Player One’ actress was ready to rock in Prada wearing a look which was perfectly suited to her no-fuss style.

Ava Duvernay In Diane von Furstenberg – Vulture Festival

After she delighted at Cannes, I was pleased to see Ava Duvernay back on the red carpet at the Vulture Festival on Sunday (May 20) in New York City.

The director is not afraid of bold prints or colour and this Diane von Furstenberg Spring 2018 dress is very much in her wheelhouse.

Some might be trying to make heads or tails about what’s going on with the belt, ties, necklace and layered top. There are a few different elements at play, but it’s nothing to get hung up on as the joyful bohemian spirit radiates through every detail.

Do you like the belt?

‘The Man Who Killed Don Quixote’ Cannes Film Festival Premiere & Closing Ceremony Red Carpet Roundup

Lovely ladies joined Khadja Nin, Cate Blanchett, Kristen Stewart and Olga Kurylenko at ‘The Man Who Killed Don Quixote’ premiere and Cannes Film Festival closing ceremony on Saturday (May 19).

Léa Seydoux: Going for a bold, glittering finish, the French actress was outfitted in a Louis Vuitton dress and shoes. There have been some critics of the designer of late, but I’m hoping this shimmering, sensual silver style will go down favorably.

Ava DuVernay: The director oozed sophistication in a custom Stella McCartney gown. This rich maroon is divine with her complexion and the sweeping shoulder detail has such refined elegance.

Ava DuVernay In Cushnie et Ochs – amfAR Gala Cannes 2018

Ava DuVernay joined Laura Harrier and Kristen Stewart on the red carpet on Thursday (May 17) for the amfAR Cannes Gala held at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cap d’Antibes, France.

I was in a state of awe seeing the director wearing this custom Cushine et Ochs column gown in the deepest – hypnotic – lapis blue hue.

The gown is beautifully tailored. Snatching her at the waist with elegant detailing such as the lace trims which makes this such an exquisite gown, and probably her best so far.
