Looks Of The Week

A round-up of my favourite fashions on the red carpet this week.









Jessica Alba looked glam at the 'Versace for H&M' event, wearing a black and gold flecked top and skirt, from the collection. Black tights and heels, a slick high bun and glossy red lips complete her outfit.
Gorgeous Brit model Cara Delevingne glitters at 'Harper's Bazaar Women of the Year Awards' in London. She wears a gold sequined dress by Burberry. Personally, I love that she added the grungy boots and black accessories. It prevents the look from being gaudy.
Selena Gomez looks adorable in a white tulle confection by Marchesa, along with embellished Casadei pumps. She play host at this year's MTV Europe Music Award's in Belfast.
Emma Stone was radiant in a green-tinged gold gown by Lanvin. The actress wore the silky pleated dress with grosgrain belt to 'Glamour's Women of the Year Awards' in New York.


Gwyneth Paltrow gleams in green at the Bambi Awards in Germany. She took my breath away in this fully beaded emerald gown by Elie Saab. But I'd want her to lose the heavy neckpiece.

Sofia Vergara ruled the green carpet at the 2011 Latin Grammy Awards. The brunette actress wore a beautifully beaded strapless ivory gown by Reem Acra.

Sugarland singer Jennifer Nettles chose an outstanding mint green gown for the Country Music Awards 2011. The delicately draped gown, glistening with crystals is by Naeem Khan. 

Byrdie Bell attended the 'Versace for H&M' event in New York City - not wearing Versace. I almost mistook the actress for Rachel Zoe, as she certainly looked the part. Her cream maxi dress is by Sportmax, which she wore with a black belt and cropped leather jacket. I do like her boho-biker-chic style.

Trends of The Week

There were two prominent trends on and off the red carpet this week. Firstly, there was a flurry of pretty printed dress, and in complete contrast, some stars took on the more masculine fashion trend.


Prints


Sarah Jessica Parker was in London to promote her new movie, 'I Don't Know How She Does It'. The actress wore a black and yellow colour block frock with pink and white floral panels. Her dress is by Prabal Gurung, with black glitter heels by Charlotte Olympia.
Salma Hayek looked vibrant in a multicoloured snugly-fit floral sheath by Balenciaga. Ankle strap heels and a large orange Balenciaga tote finished her look.
Keira Knightley's silk-satin patterned dress is by Mary Katrantzou. She wore it for the photocall of her new movie, 'A Dangerous Method'. Her nude heels are by Jimmy Choo. I like her angular bob hairstyle.

Kate Bosworth was out in LA, wearing a cute printed strapless dress by Isabel Marant. She paired it with flat beige suede boots, also by Marant, and an Alexander Wang handbag.

Andrea Riseborough looked jazzy in a floral print Dolce & Gabbana dress, highlighted with orange panels. She wore gold pumps with it.





The Menswear Trend

Kate Winslet looked chic at the photocall for her new movie, 'Mildred Pierce'. The Oscar-winning actress wore a black one-button blazer by Helmet Lang, over a plain tank and belted shorts. She walked in high black peep-toe heels.

Alexa Chung was photographed just before her DJing gig at a fashion event in Sydney, Australia. She wore a buttoned up ivory shirt and black pencil skirt. Alexa styled her look with a red quilted Chanel bag, matching red lipstick and flat houndstooth sandals.

Evan Rachel Wood looked sleek at a photocall in Venice this week. She donned a black Dolce & Gabbana suit, teamed with a white ruffled-neck blouse. I love her houndstooth heels, which are by Salvatore Ferragamo.

Monica Bellucci is another actress who adopted the menswear trend in Venice. She wore a white buttoned down shirt under a tailored black waistcoat, with black suit trousers. She went a step further with the masculine trend by wearing flat black mens shoes and held a large carrier bag. I would've preferred a sexy pencil heel with this look.

Looks Of The Week

Who What Wear

My Favourite Fashion Picks



Rose Bryne is chic in New York, wearing a fern green and black leopard print dress by Dolce & Gabbana. I'm glad she added a belt for definition. High patent pumps by Sergio Rossi complete her look.

Pippa Middleton looks stylish on the streets of London. She wears a pale peach maxi dress with a cropped jacket, tan bag and white peep-toe heels. 

Anne Hathaway attended the UK premiere of her movie 'One Day', wearing an Alexander McQueen Resort 2012 dress. Her ivory baroque lace tea-length dress is worn with tan peep toe heels and a cream and gold clutch, also by McQueen.

Leighton Meester is lovely in lemon, as she attended the launch of Vera Wang's 'Lovestruck' perfume. The Gossip Girl star wore a softly pleated chiffon dress, with black leather wrap belt and Brian Atwood pumps. She wears this simple look so well.

Looks Of The Week

Who What Wear

My Best & Worst Fashion Picks



Fashion Favourites

Kristen Ritter wears a beautiful black lace dress at the 'Life Happens' movie screening in New York City. The D&G dress has a sheer bodice and full flirty skirt. Her nude and black tie-up ribbon heels are by Brian Atwood.

Ashley Tisdale in an apricot and rust off-the-shoulder dress by Joie. I like the style of the draped dress, it would look great in any other colour scheme aside from this one. Her choice of shoe could have been more exciting.

Olivia Munn looks elegant in a two-tone silk dress by Carolina Herrera. The TV presenter was in LA for a movie premiere. If you have to do a black & white cocktail dress, this is the way to go. Coral jewellery added a touch of colour to her look, while her clutch and heels remained neutral.

Fearne Cotton attended the 'Midsummer Night's Dream Party' in London. I adore her quirky retro style. She wears a short-sleeved mustard dress with pleated tiers. A black leather jacket is tossed in for a girly-grunge effect.





Fashion Foes

Rihanna posed for cameras at her fragrance launch in London. As much as I like this vibrant aqua colour on her, this fuzzy outfit reminds me of 'Sulley' from the animated pic, Monsters Inc.

Elizabeth Banks attended 'Our Idiot Brother' movie premiere in Los Angeles. Her pink and black colour block dress appears to be passable from the front, but the back revealed a confusion of colours that didn't blend together very well.

Nicki Minaj showed off her colours at a Toronto nightclub this week. She wears a frightful mix of shades and prints. There is no logical reason for anyone to dress like this.

Looks Of The Week

Who What Wear

My Favourite Fashion Picks



Annual InStyle Summer Soiree

Jaime King picked out a delicate cream lace dress with black neck tie by Jason Wu. Her vintage look was accessorized with a metallic bow belt, Chanel clutch bag and pointy black heels.

Jayma Mays was delightful in a blush pink mini with satin belt by Zuhair Murad. The sheer beaded bodice is covered in draped chiffon.

Diane Kruger had on a masculine chic outfit by Jason Wu. She carries off these unusual ensembles so well. Diane wears a navy blue tuxedo blazer with formal white shirt, black shorts and a bow tie. Turquoise and black sandals and a lemon python clutch bag complete her quirky look.

Jordana Brewster makes a stylish return to the red carpet after being absent for ages. She wears a mint green pleated dress by Oscar de la Renta, with nude scalloped Valentino heels and matching mint clutch bag. I love everything about this look.





Other Great Looks

Emma Stone brings her savvy style to New York, wearing a lovely grey Chloé Resort 2012 dress with ruched bodice. Her look is enlivened with hot pink pumps by Brian Atwood.
Eva Longoria looks like a Grecian statue in a white draped gown with asymmetrical straps by J.Mendel. 
Ashley Tisdale takes a simple grey strapless dress and enhances it with great accessories. She walks in tan Joie Leo cut-out sandals, carries a cream quilted Chanel bag and tops it off with a cute floppy hat.
Katie Holmes strolls the streets of New York in a white buttoned up blouse, coral H&M skirt, black bag and sandy suede Isabel Marant ankle boots.

Looks Of The Week

Who What Wear

My Best & Worst Fashion Picks



Love These Looks

Mila Kunis looks chic on the streets of London, wearing a tailored tweed Chanel coat in cream. She paired it with a white tee, light wash denim skinnies and black ballet flats. So simple, yet so classy.

I have no idea why Audrina Patridge is famous, but I do think she looks supercute in this ensemble. She wears a long army green vest over a white bustier top with beige high-waisted shorts. Her choice of accessories are spot on, with the large tan clutch bag, metallic cuff and tan Prada wedges.

Bella Thorne looked delightful at the 'Phineas and Ferb' movie premiere. The redhead Disney star wore a navy strapless ruffle top with a flecked maxi skirt. She added a chunky yellow beaded chain, tan braided leather belt and tan heels to her look. I just love her hair colour.

Emma Watson took a stroll around a Santa Monica market in Los Angeles. The Harry Potter star looked adorable in a fine striped navy and white tee with white skirt. A billowy printed blue and cream scarf, white sling clutch bag and grey flats completed her casual look.





Fashion Offenders

Mischa Barton takes on a military vs drum majorette look. Without the red oversized drummer boy jacket and army hat, she would have been on my 'Favourites' list.

I am in two minds over Taylor Swift's outfit. I like her pretty pink ballerina skirt but that cat-face t-shirt is weirding me out. I also love cats, but I wouldn't wear a giant one on my t-shirt.

Elizabeth Olsen has been praised for her style, but I just don't see it. She's only 22 but this outfit makes her look 42. It's too dull and matronly for the cute upcoming actress.

Ashley Tisdale was pictured at LAX airport, how is it that she's lugging a $3000 Louis Vuitton suitcase but looks destitute in a super short and torn star-print jersey.

Looks Of The Week

Who What Wear How

My Best & Worst Fashion Picks



Fashion Favourites

TV & radio presenter, Fearne Cotton displays her boho-casual style on the streets of London. She paired a printed top and skirt with dark denim jeggings and a matching cropped jacket. I like her choice of accessories with the tan satchel, stacks of bracelets, zebra print flats and cute floppy hat.

Cat Deeley strolled around a market in Beverly Hills looking lovely in red. The 'So You Think You Can Dance' presenter wore a crimson red macramé maxi dress by River Island, paired with a leopard print clutch, tan strap sandals and aviator sunglasses.

Ashley Tisdale was also spotted out shopping in Beverly Hills. I love how she put this outfit together. Ashley wore a simple grey v-neck tee under a black boyfriend blazer, with Funktional Stardust shorts. Grungy studded black ankle boots, a cream fedora and Chanel bag completed her cute look.

Mexican actress Ana de la Reguera attended the premiere of her new movie, 'Cowboys and Aliens' in San Diego. The dusky beauty wore an intriguing gown from Gucci's Fall 2011 collection. The halter-neck bodice has a textured red rose-petal effect and the bottom is made up of sheer black chiffon.



Fashion Foes



I know that Katy Perry was trying to be quirky at 'The Smurfs' movie premiere, but this dress is ridiculous. Besides that its far too short, it makes her look ditzy with all that glitter, Smurf printed nails and bright blue eye shadow.

Olivia Wilde attended the launch of her Nylon magazine cover in a black jumpsuit. I was disappointed with her entire look, it's so severe. I don't like the fit of the harem style pants, that merges into those peculiar see-through snakeskin mesh boots.

Dita von Teese was in Dallas for a Cointreau cocktail launch. Her satin floral dress may have looked better without the unnecessary addition of the yellow and green sashes, harsh make-up and loud feathered bag.

Anna Paquin wore all white during the HBO Summer Tour. Her dress is infected by far too many circle cutouts. She looks so stylish usually, I don't know what happened here.  My aversion to dots has increased exponentially after seeing this dress.

Looks Of The Week

Who What Wear How

My Best & Worst Picks This Week



Fashion Favourites

Rachel Bilson strolled the streets of Santa Monica in this cute ensemble. She wore bright red shorts with a white v-neck tee and black blazer. Ankle boots and a quilted Chanel bag completed her look.
Nikki Reed was at the Comic Con in San Diego, California. The Twilight actress wore a sweet floral print dress by D&G with a black leather zip-up jacket and Brian Atwood pumps.
Ashley Green was also snapped at the Comic Con, looking chic in dark skinny jeans and an ivory ruffle-neck top by Robert Rodriguez. Her spunky tan and turquoise heels are by House of Harlow.
Nina Dobrev is kaleidoscopic in a one-shoulder chiffon dress by Dalia MacPhee. She paired her frilled dress with adorable purple satin sandals and a neutral clutch. 


Fashion Foes

Whilst all the other Twilight gals dressed their best at the Comic Con, Kristen Stewart opted for rolled up skinnies, an ill fitting top and her worn-out Converse sneakers. Its the see-through white tee with a black bra underneath that irks me the most.

Victoria's Secret model, Selita Ebanks attended the 'Children of the City' Benefit in New York. Was there a memo going around that see-through tops with black bras were in vogue this week? This is a kids charity event, not a Victoria's Secret lingerie show.

Jessica Biel was yet another star at the Comic Con festival. I think this midriff baring top and shorts is better left at the beach or a slumber party.

Demi Lovato at the 'Noon on Noor' launch party - so much going on. Separately, the ten elements of her outfit would look fine. Piled on all together and it's a mess in excess.

Looks Of The Week

Who Wore What How

My Best & Worst of The Week



Favourite Colour Combinations


Stephanie Pratt looked sexy in a silky tangerine top with neon pink mini by Boulee. She wore nude accessories - strappy Yves Saint Laurent sandals and a leather Gusto clutch. 

Zooey Deschanel was adorable in a pink, green and white rose print dress by Kate Spade. She also opted for nude accessories, with peep toes and a Kate Spade clutch bag.

Audrina Patridge colour blocks with confidence, wearing a hot pink and firebrick red dress by Jay Godfrey. She highlighted the red of the dress with a Adrienne Tunney clutch and patent leather cut-out sandals by Giuseppe Zanotti.





Favourite Looks





Pixie Lott attended the Net-a-Porter Dolce & Gabbana event in London. I like that she paired a girly tiered lace dress with gritty black ankle boots. She carries a black Miss Sicily bag with chain & leather strap.

Dianna Agron was spotted in New York City wearing a navy blue tee with an Anthopologie nouveau rose skirt and brogue wedges by Rag & Bone. A floppy grey hat, large black clutch and Carrera sunglasses complete this supercute look.

Brooklyn Decker posed at a Sephora launch in NYC. The blonde actress opted for a winsome Alexander Wang dress with white Peter Pan collar and cutout. Her two-tone studded Valentino heels are a great addition. 





Fashion Foes

Jamie Winstone wore a floral print mini to the Net-a-Porter party, held for Dolce & Gabbana. The satin dress is sweet, but the styling is in shambles. Ignore her hair if you can, it's those Smurf blue suede wedges worn with black socks that has me stumped.
Emma Watson attended the David Letterman show in New York City this week. Her sparkly silver dress feels like it's seriously missing something... a sleeve perhaps? And the cork wedges with an embellished cocktail dress doesn't work.
Lady Gaga was snapped at Sydney airport, during her Australian tour. She looks like a beekeeper in a spacesuit made from trash bags. I think it's the first time she's worn this much clothing.

Looks of the Week

The Best & Worst of the Week's Fashion



This week was filled with pretty prints, worn by stylish brunette stars. There were also a few curious looks that I had to question...



My Top Picks


Alexis Bledel attended a Cirque du Soleil event in New York, wearing a floaty Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent dress. The soft pink maxi dress has a sparse floral print and is also a convertible skirt. Alexis wore it with a tan belt, metallic sandals and a large clutch. 
Jenna Dewan wears a floral print jumpsuit with such class. I adore her look, which she accessorized with a skinny brown belt, tan wedges by Diane von Furstenberg and a nude Valentino bag.
Rose Bryne was in New York for the 'Damages' season 4 premiere. The TV actress looked lovely in a floral and lace Valentino dress. The colours are so uniquely matched. She wears shiny silver heels by Gio Diev.
Leighton Meester sports a new fringe in New York; I like it on her. The 'Monte Carlo' actress was snapped wearing a fully ruched printed dress by Carven. Her strappy sandals are by Alexandre Birman, with a stone grey bag by Yves Saint Laurent.
Camilla Belle was spotted in Beverly Hills in a floral freehand dress by Madewell. She perfectly accessorized with a brown belt, tan ankle boots and a Mulberry crossbody bag.




Way Out There

Mary J Blige seems to be confined by her nude bandage dress which has too many cut-outs. The high collar looks like a neck brace. 

Beyonce performed on 'Good Morning America' in a shredded canary yellow dress thing. Did a cat get to it before she did?

Paloma Faith attended Beyonce's (of all people) album launch in London. These two singers seem to have the same taste - short and strange. The nest on the head was not a good addition either.

Paris Hilton: Is she a fairy bird mother with the pink tutu and feathered tail? This outfit is just ridiculous, no one should have to wear it by choice

Looks of The Week

My Best & Worst Fashion Picks of the Week


Top Three


Diane Kruger stunned at the Amfar Inspiration Gala in Paris. The actress wore a crimson draped gown with plunging neckline by Yves Saint Laurent. She even matched her lipstick to her dress. I just wish she did something other than the ballerina hair bun.



Sofia Vergara attended the Harry Winston Midnight Timepiece launch in New York City. The Columbian actress was splendid in a white lace 'Mia' dress from Marchesa's Bridal Fall 2011 collection. The bodice has a folded over peplum design. Sofia wore champagne satin slingbacks by Giuseppe Zanotti.



Model and actress Molly Sims wears a pretty chiffon maxi dress in lavender by Alice + Olivia. She added a skinny belt and flat sandals to her summer Hampton's holiday look.





At The Bottom



Fergie was also in Paris at the Amfar Inspiration Gala. Some people are taking this 'Black Swan' style thing too far. The Black Eyed peas singer was ready to take flight in a furry black leather coat, black shorts, black bodysuit, black tights and black cage boots. Might I add - she's wearing fur in Spring.



Heidi Klum wore a printed Tibi dress with bright green tights and royal blue YSL heels. Tights this green should only be worn at Christmas time, that too, only by Santa's elves. 



Busy Phillips
won 'Best Supporting Actress' at the Critics Choice Television Awards on Monday. The styling of her blue Juan Carlos Obando watercolour dress is too kindergarten. There's the flounced hem, with the schoolgirl side plait and candy green arm accessories. Then there's the sandals with the ankle monitor bracelets. Definitely a 'crime' of fashion.

Looks of the Week

My highs and lows of fashion this week.



Best Casual Looks of the Week


Minka Kelly looks better each time I see her. She is a knockout in Fendi. She wears a royal blue chiffon draped dress - the colour suits her so well. I like that she paired it with apricot coloured heels by Casadei.



Australian actress Isla Fisher wears a flirty floral dress by D&G. Her tan ankle strap wedges are by Tory Burch and she carried a matching clutch bag.



Blake Lively
was out promoting her new movie, 'The Green Lantern'. Blake looked chic in a chartreuse shirt and matching pleated skirt by Chloé. This is such a lovely bold colour. She paired it with a skinny belt and Brian Atwood heels. 



Kirsten Dunst
is delightful in Louis Vuitton. She wears a blue and white printed dress with pleated skirt which has a retro feel to it. She carries an LV handbag and wears pretty gold criss-cross sandals.


Best Evening Looks of the Week


Jessica Alba has the best maternity wardrobe in Hollywood. The actress looked angelic in a white anglaise maxi dress by Dolce and Gabbana. I like how she's had her hair done. Jessica carries a gold metallic clutch by Diane von Furstenberg.


Gisele Bundchen dazzles in a smokey grey beaded gown with fishtail train by Oscar de la Renta. Don't you just love the pop of pink?


British model Laura Bailey is dreamy in Valentino. The taupe dress has a nude coloured tulle overlay. I love this dress. It features ruffled tulle layers on the asymmetrical neckline. Laura wore nude suede shoes with it and carried a metallic grey clutch.




Not the Best Week for...


The adorable Elle Fanning had such a stylish week...until she met those shoes. Maybe with something else, but the plank like platform is too heavy for this girly embellished dress by Vintage.


Kim Kardashian was in London to launch her new perfume (yes another one). This purple and orange Gucci dress has been exhausted by celebs and fashion magazines. I'm tired of seeing it and doesn't fit so well either. It was worn on the red carpet just last week, see it here


Nicole Kidman attended the CMT Awards in Proenza Schouler. It's the colour combination of green velvet and two-tone brown with lilac strappy sandals that puts me off this dress.


Kylie Minogue
was in Australia to kick off her 'Aphrodite: Les Folies' tour. Her beige mini with the black leather circular cutouts is harassing my vision.




Friday, June 3, 2011

Looks of the Week

My Best & Worst Fashion Picks



These are a few looks that interested me this week.







Kim Kardashian takes a stroll in LA wearing a cream blazer by Camilla & Marc over a silky rose top, ripped jeans and gorgeous strappy nude heels by Christian Louboutin. Her leopard print purse is by Givenchy.



Teen actress Chloe Moretz attended an arts event in London wearing a charming Carven dress with asymmetrical grey and black plaid top and full skirt. I like the pockets. She wore nude Miu Miu sandals with it, and a pout.



Minka Kelly was casual in a trench coat, James skinny jeans and pretty pink scarf by Theadora & Callum. The best part of her outfit are those brown suede wedge lace up boots by Chloe.



Sienna Miller wears an adorable striped red and white dress with sailor collar. She teamed her vintage dress with a tan shoulder bag and suede ankle boots.



And the looks that topped last week's worst dressed.



I am a huge fan of Eliza Doolittle, but this outfit is unfortunately unpolished. A shiny aubergine pleated skirt with a two-tone denim brassiere, bright green sandals and a baby blue bag. More streetwalker than songstress.



Miley Cyrus was in Mexico for her Gypsy Heart tour, so that explains the ethnic jewellery and feathers. However, I still need an explanation for the oversized, see-through white shirt, with black bra underneath. Nuh uh Miley.



Kelly Rowland attended the UK X-Factor auditions wearing an ensemble by Twenty8Twelve with Louboutin heels. What is it with stars baring their midriffs on the red carpet? Maybe they couldn't find enough neon yellow lace to finish the top.




I haven't seen Jennifer Love Hewitt in ages and now I know why. She joined an indigenous canvas wearing cult. The peculiar bird, bull and feather design on her beige dress is creeping me out. 



Friday, May 27, 2011

Looks of the Week

My Best & Worst Fashion Picks



This week, beautiful and bright coloured evening gowns caught my fancy. 







Katie Holmes is sublime in a silk fuchsia blouse and bow, which she paired with a matching pleated skirt. She wore the dress to the Annual Drama Desk Awards. The outfit is from her own design line, Holmes & Yang. A black clutch and heels completed her look.



At 'The Tree of Life' premiere, Angelina Jolie looked ravishing in a crimson red asymmetrical silk chiffon gown by Jenny Packham. The colour looks great on her, she should wear it more often.




Fergie surprised me by gracefully pulling off this yellow chiffon gown by BCBG Max Azria. The embellished strap gives the dress a bit of sparkle. I like that she paired it with a bright blue clutch bag. Fergie wore the dress to the 2011 Fifi Awards, where she received the 'New Celebrity Fragrance of the Year' award.



'The Tree of Life' actress Jessica Chastain complemented her red hair by wearing a teal green mermaid gown by Roland Mouret. The waist band is accented with a splash of chartreuse. 



On the other hand, these looks made me cringe...



Heidi Klum attended an art exhibition in New York wearing a mini by Vivienne Westwood. The combination of animal print, shiny chintz fabric and a low exaggerated neckline is too flashy.



Zoe Kravitz attended the 'X-Men:First Class' premiere in a silver velvet Alexander Wang dress. There's no design to this dress, it's ill-fitting, old fashioned and would be better off as a nightdress. 



Kourtney Kardashian wears an Aztec print jumpsuit by Torn. Harem pants are bad enough on their own, converting them into a jumpsuit is even worse. 



Korean actress Han Hyo Joo attended the Baeksang Arts Awards in a whirlwind of ruffled lace tiers. This white Nina Ricci dress is overwhelming her and it's such a pity - if the top were plain, this could have been a pretty look.



Friday, May 20, 2011

Looks of the Week

Star Style

The Best and Worst of the Week



These are my favourite and not-so favourite looks of the week.




Vanessa Hudgens attended an event in New York wearing this black and brown ensemble. I wouldn't have thought that these two colours go well together but Vanessa manages to pull it off. Her two-tone brown pleated maxi dress is by Robin Brouillette. Vanessa wore a black blazer with upturned cuffs over it. She carries a Givenchy bag and accessorized with lots of silver jewellery. 



Kristen Bell looked adorable at 'The Hangover II' premiere in LA. She wore a candied peach strapless dress with an icy blue asymmetrical chiffon overlay. The pairing of the two colours are pretty as they are unexpected. She paired her J Mendel dress with nude Brian Atwood sandals.




Ashley Tisdale continues to surprise me with her fashion picks. She looks lovely in an Alice + Olivia navy and white nautical dress. The fitted high waisted skirt and looser striped tank is very flattering on her. I would've preferred a pop of red instead of her nude Yves Saint Laurent heels. 




AnnaLynne McCord is street chic in this outfit. Her leather jacket is by Esprit, white tank by Armani Exchange and metallic jeans by Calvin Klein. Her outfit is urbanized by a green & brown striped tie, chocolate trilby and Christian Louboutin pumps. I can see myself wearing this look - minus the fluorescent yellow nails.






Gwen Stefani made another appearance on the Cannes red carpet, this time in Armani Privé. It looks like someone took black masking tape and stuck it onto her white sheet-like gown. Then they took a scissors and cut out a diamond shape in the bodice. Let's not even talk about the eye makeup.



Freida Pinto attended the Amfar Gala in Cannes in a lurex mini dress by Lanvin. The high bateau neckline is making her neck look shorter, the sagging sleeves are making her shoulders look wider and the swamp colour is not appealing. On anyone.




Courtney Love. Was in Cannes. Why? We may never know but she made her presence known in this hot mess by Givenchy Couture. I can't even make head or tail of this dress, all I see is a very low neck, gigantic bows, feathers and tulle.



Naomi Campbell wears a fully feathered Versace dress in canary yellow. May I add that this many yellow feathers only look good on an actual canary.



Friday, May 13, 2011

Looks of the Week

Star Style

This week's fashion wins and woes.



These are my best and worst looks of the week.





Mandy Moore attended the 2011 National Movie Awards in this stunning slate grey chiffon gown by Jenny Packham. The sheer top is adorned with strings of hanging chains. I like this colour as an alternative to black.




Angelina Jolie pulls off this simple beige dress with ease and sophistication. The flared mini dress with tan belt is by Salvatore Ferragamo. Her nude pumps are by the same designer. She wore the dress for the Kung-Fu Panda 2 Photocall in Cannes.



Mia Wasikowska always impresses me on the red carpet. On the 2nd day of the Cannes Film Festival, Mia was spellbinding in a wine red gown by Roland Mouret. A simple silhouette in a rich jewel colour can really make an impact.



Amy Adams was spotted in New York City looking chic and casual in a navy blue Tory Burch shirt dress. She accessorized with a tan multi-band belt, white Cartier handbag and darling high heeled lace ups by Miu Miu.






Britney Spears
made an appearance in Beverly Hills at the St. Bernard Project 'Southern Style' Event. Her Herve Leger for Max Azria dress is just too tight, too low, too green and too tacky.



Sarah Jessica Parker wore Valentino to the New York City Ballet Spring Gala. I really don't like this look - it's like two lace tablecloths from different eras that are sewn together. She looks frumpy and old fashioned, not what I'd come to expect from Ms Carrie Bradshaw.



Sadly, SJP makes the list again, this time at the Robin Hood Foundation Gala. I don't mind the deep purple Halston dress so much - it's the Big 80's hair that astounds me. How many cans of hairspray did she need to hold it up?



Bryce Dallas Howard attended the 'Restless' premiere at Cannes in a Reem Acra gown. She's such a pretty lass, but this jacquard tent of a dress downs her. The colour isn't helping either.
