Looks of the Week - 04/02/12

The weekly roundup...





Premiere Events

Burberry Muse Cara Delevigne opted to wear skinny jeans for the UK movie premiere of 'A Dangerous Method'. The model fully represented the brand, in a chic black and striped jacket with peplum flounce and all black accessories.

Cate Blanchett glimmered at the AACTA awards in Australia, wearing a lustrous gold silk mid-length dress with two-tiered hem by Alexander McQueen.

Rooney Mara continued her 'Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' movie tour in Japan, looking swish in a white architectural ruffled design by Givenchy.

Zoe Saldana brought some sassy style to the Sundance Film Festival. The actress looked alluring in a black Alexander McQueen frock with cut-out shoulders and wide belt.

Vanessa Hudgens impressed me most this week, looking gorgeous in a canary yellow silk strapless gown that flowed like a ray of sunlight. Her dress is by Maria Lucia Hohan.





Bits of Blue

Rachel McAdams did the talk show rounds in NYC, wearing a colour-blocked Peter Som dress, with varying shades of blue stripes. She paired her outfit with a white Roland Mouret coat and cute matching blue and white heels by Giuseppe Zanotti.

Blake Lively looked charming for her appearance at a Godiva Valentine chocolate event. The 'Gossip Girl' actress wore a baby blue and white lace crochet ensemble by Valentino, teamed with white Christian Louboutin heels.

Kim Kardashian touched down at Miami airport, looking pretty in a teal blue Rachel Zoe skirt, white tank, metallic Chloe belt and Giuseppe Zanotti platforms.

Rachel McAdams wore her second blue look of the week, incidentally also by Peter Som. The blonde actress choose a bright blue fitted tee and abstract print maxi skirt, peppered with every shade of blue. A blue clutch and heels completed her outfit.

Savvy Street Style

Taylor Swift takes a stylish stride in a white crochet Anthropologie dress, worn with an Urban Outfitters skinny belt, a brown Ralph Lauren bag, Frye Maya peep toes and Prada sunnies.

Gwen Stefani translated her rockstar style to the sidewalks, in a grey military jacket, black long tee, inkblot jeans, grey flat boots, black trilby and large tote. I'm assuming at least one of these pieces are from her label L.A.M.B

Fearne Cotton is an expert at experimenting with different styles. Here she wears an oversized charcoal coat over a crimson red asymmetrical dress, black tights and grungy boots. Yet another reason why she is one of my favourite style icons.

Jessica Alba - a week can't go by without one of her street-smart looks. She mixed stars and stripes with a multi-coloured Aztec jacket and sky blue star print shirt, both by MiH. Jessica added a cream scarf, wedges, and bright orange bag by Tory Burch.

Looks Of The Week - 28/01/12

A round-up of the weeks most notable looks.





Photo Ready

Diane Kruger turned heads at the 'Sidaction Gala Dinner' in Paris, wearing a gauzy grey lace Erdem dress with puffy shoulders and an asymmetrical mini underneath.

Jessica Alba was elegant in a black and white silk colour-blocked dress by Chanel Resort 2012. Her choice of accessories was exemplary, with Chanel jewellery and clutch bag, as well as black bow-trimmed Giuseppe Zanotti heels.

Cara Delevigne, who also attended the 'Sidaction Gala Dinner', was alluring in a beautifully draped emerald green Grecian gown. Bright violet pumps were her choice of footwear.

Black Lively sets off the peplum-skirt trend, in a white and black ensemble by Jason Wu. She paired it with sparkly leopard print pumps by Christian Louboutin.

Fearne Cotton posed at the National TV Awards in Britain, in a 20's inspired flapper look by Temperley London. Her silver-grey embellished and fringed dress was paired with a white Chanel bag, and colour in the form of red lips and heels.

Chic Street Style

Rachel Zoe looks 70's sleek in an abstract print top, brown jacket and flare bottomed dark denim jeans. She carries a Hermés Birkin bag.

Taylor Swift was adorable in a quirky cat-print dress by NW3 at Asos, teamed with a fitted black leather jacket by Rick Owens, brown crossbody bag, black tights and lace-up oxfords.

Katherine Heigl braved the New York cold looking casually chic in cream Max Mara coat, J Brand skinny jeans and a cozy beige wrap-around scarf. She matched her tan-edged coat with knee-high Christian Louboutin boots and a tan Rebecca Minkoff satchel.

Olivia Palermo was spotted at the Menswear 2012 Fashion Week in Milan. The reality star looked sophisticated in a white belted blouse worn with grey tailored trousers, a fur-trimmed coat and Mulberry animal print heels.

Trending Topic: Blazers

Jessica Alba features in another colour-blocked outfit, this time at the 'Good Day LA' talk show. The actress wore an oversized aqua blazer with a tangerine and black shirt dress. 

Sarah Jessica Parker paired her navy blue velvet Yves Saint Laurent blazer with a sequined wavy-striped Tory Burch dress. A brown belt, VBH sling bag, Manolo Blahnik heels and Fred Leighton jewels complete her unique look.

Elizabeth Olsen attended the Chanel Couture 2012 show in Paris, tastefully dressed in a dark blue double-breasted Chanel blazer, worn over black skinny pants and boots. I admire her stylish simplicity with this look.

Alesha Dixon was snapped outside the 'Britain's Got talent' auditions. The show's newly appointed judge opted to wear a black suit blazer with a snazzy white crystal-gem embellished shirt and coral skirt. This is a cute outfit, but don't you think that she and Jessica Alba could have swopped shoes?

Looks Of The Week - 21/01/12

With all the excitement of the Golden Globes this week, there were so many other interesting outfits that were overlooked. Here is the roundup.



Pretty & Poised

Rachel Bilson wore a vanilla mint frothy Chanel frock to the 'Art of Elysium' gala. It features an embellished bodice with full tulle and feather fringed skirt. This isn't a look that just anyone could pull off, but the 'Hart of Dixie' actress does so charmingly. She carried a cream clutch and wore satin Casadei pumps.

Rachel Zoe attended the Golden Globes After Party in one of her own designs, a glossy white and gold foil scallop print gown with ruffle cap-sleeves. A quilted gold clutch completed her impressive look.

Kirsten Dunst was graceful in a romantic embroidered black Valentino gown with sheer yoke and sleeves. I like that she turned the makeup up a notch for a change.

Kaley Cuoco is still on a fashion high since hosting last week's People Choice Awards. The blonde actress attended the Golden Globes After Party looking delightful in a silk and tulle white Zuhair Murad dress with tiered skirt and wide satin belt.

In The Navy

Navy dresses were also a hit on the red (actually blue) carpet this week.

Nicki Hilton looked glamourous in a midnight blue Giorgio Armani gown with asymmetrical sequined cut-out bodice and straight-fit skirt.

Emma Roberts caught my attention in a stunning silky blue Zac Posen gown, which has several cut-outs on the neckline and panel-frill skirt. 

Stana Katic strikes the style iron once again in a Keven Hall design with strapless bodice and fully ruffled skirt. All these ladies graced the blue carpet at the InStyle Golden Globes After Party in Hollywood this week.

Creative Coats

It's a good week for Kirsten Dunst, who features twice on this list. She brightened up the Rodarte Dinner at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, in a chic mustard yellow Stella McCartney one-button blazer. She wore it over a prim ivory shirt, and gold and yellow printed brocade trousers, both by Rodarte. We can't see it well, but her heels are by Jimmy Choo.

Trendsetter Kate Moss looked fabulous in a faux fur leopard print jacket by Topshop, worn with an all-black ensemble and fringed scarf. Her black tie-up boots are by Balmain.

Jessica Alba brought her savvy style to the streets of New York, looking vibrant in a two-tone green-to-black Doo.ri coat, tangerine top and multi-shaded floral Erdem trousers. Her quirky colourful ensemble was complete with teal and white Barbara Bui sandals.

Looks Of The Week - 14/01/12

A round-up of the weeks most fashionable looks.

Kim Kardashian was photographed on the streets of LA, wearing a cherry red Equipment blouse with camel coloured high-waisted pants by Rachel Zoe. She carries a Hermés Birkin bag and walks in nude Louboutin heels. Are we loving or loathing this look?

Blake Lively looked chic in a scene for 'Gossip Girl', wearing a black trench coat and tights, teamed with Jimmy Choo knee-high boots, a turquoise Autumn cashmere scarf and fabulous colour-blocked 'Chameleon' bag by Fendi.

Pippa Middleton in a street savvy London look, with a mauve Ralph Lauren blazer, black Tania shift dress, Alice by Temperley animal print scarf and Zara ankle boots. 

Olivia Palermo mixes it up with a fur vest, striped grey and blue sweater, leather Daryl K skinnies, a Hermés Birkin bag and burgundy Brian Atwood boots.

Nicole Richie wears my favourite ensemble of the week, by Antonio Berardi. It features an oversized pale pink suit jacket with bejeweled skinny pants. Her nude platforms are by Christian Louboutin and gold clutch by House of Harlow.

Zoe Saldana is poised in a floaty black Jason Wu dress with embellished collar. She paired it with ankle strap 'Teresa' pumps by Brian Atwood.

Michelle Williams looked swish in a pale pewter metallic satin dress with beautifully beaded bodice by Prada. Strappy gold Prada heels complete her outfit.

Gillian Zinser from '90210' showed off her unique style in a black, green and red floral skirt, worn with a strapless lace corset. It's refreshing to see someone not in the usual cocktail dress or evening gown.

Nina Dobrev wears a romantic ivory and pink floral chiffon dress by Monique Lhuillier. She accessorized with a pink Rebecca Minkoff clutch and peep toe Louboutins.





P.S The lovely Katherine from Katattack interviewed me recently, you can read it here. 

Looks Of The Week - 7/01/12

A view of the hottest celeb street style over the holidays.

A Pop of Colour

Fergie shows off her modish airport style, in a pair of bright red skinny jeans by Nobody, with a black tee and striped Max Mara blazer. She wears black wedges from her own shoe range and carries a black Hermés bag.

Zoe Saldana's casual Californian ensemble included a cobalt blue pair of skinny jeans, teamed with a simple white tee and grey cardigan. She also wears black strappy espadrilles.

Kendall Jenner looked delightful in a black and white Kimberly Taylor dress. The second youngest Kardashian added a fun splash of colour with a vivid yellow blazer. A high bun and black Ruthie Davis pumps complete her cute look.

Mandy Moore took a stroll in Beverly Hills wearing a green sweater and Current/Elliott denim skinnies with animal print ballet flats. She brightened up her look with a stylish magenta satchel bag by Proenza Schouler.

Monochrome

Jessica Alba's urbane chic outfit while in LA includes: a striped pullover by Splendid, black skinny jeans, black boots, a leopard print scarf, beanie and forest green sling bag by Bvlgari.

Fashion designer Erin Fetherston is winsome in a ballet-meets-biker-chick outfit. She wears a cream top and floaty pleated skirt with cropped black coat and tights. Erin added a brown Chanel bag and lace-up Victorian-inspired ankle boots.

Rachel Zoe is a trendsetter, on-and-off duty. She spends the day in St Barts wearing a black and white striped maxi dress, with long necklaces, beige Marc Jacobs bag, a large sun hat and black heels.

Alexa Chung appeared on the Jimmy Fallon show in New York, bringing with her a spectacular metallic silver Marc Jacobs coat, which is lushly embroidered. Black tights and glossy silver heels polish off her look.

Looks Of The Week - 24/12/11

There were not many red carpet looks this week, seeing that it's so close to the holidays. However, I did find some wintery street style inspiration. I'm off for the 4-day Christmas Weekend, so see you on the flipside.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley looked chic in LA, wearing a cream blazer and beige tee with cropped straight leg Burberry jeans. She added ivory Rag & Bone boots, a Chanel bag and leopard print scarf.

Ashley Tisdale wears my favourite look of the week. The former Disney starlet looked snazzy in a black and white striped top, with an Alice + Olivia pleated leather skirt. She carries a Chanel chain-handle bag and wears adorable red ankle platform boots.

Eva Mendes clashes prints with a multi-coloured blouse and leopard print scarf, (which looks like the exact same one Rosie is wearing). Eva wears army green jeans, brown suede boots and a Salvatore Ferragamo bag. A lot of different things going on here, but the central brown theme ties it all together.

Pixie Lott looked terrific in her boyish ensemble while out in London. The singer paired a black leather jacket and shorts with a prim white button-up shirt. What elevates her look are those cute Pamela Mann Lily leopard leggings and ruby red brogues. Have you noticed that the inner fabric of her jacket matches her tights?

Blake Lively shows off her suave biker style in Massachusetts. The actress wears a cropped leather biker jacket and distressed skinny jeans, both by Diesel. She broke up the all-black ensemble with a printed Theodora & Callum scarf. She walks in high-heeled biker boots. Her brown bag is by Givenchy.

Kate Moss is boho-London-chic in an ivory and brown cropped fur coat, with animal print cardigan and black trousers. 

Olivia Palermo looked savvy on the sidewalks of New York, wearing a chocolate brown double-breasted coat by Pringle. Her beige flare-fit jeans are by MiH. Olivia is wrapped up in an animal print scarf, which seems to a very popular choice this week. Her tan studded croc bag is by Valentino.

Jessica Alba looks classic in a white silk chiffon dress by Charles Henry, paired with a black blazer and black tights, her bag by Bvlgari.

Nicole Richie took her trailblazing style to the streets of Beverly Hills. She wore a black faux fur jacket by Helmut Lang, along with blue skinny jeans. Her splendid lace-up high-heeled boots are by House of Harlow. Nicole accessorized with an Artemis Wragge scarf & Celine bag.

Looks Of The Week - 17/12/11

My picks of the best and worst outfits worn this week.



Black & White

Rachel Zoe was in San Diego to promote her Spring 2012 line at Nordstrom. The stylist was tastefully dressed in a high-collared white maxi dress, which she clinched in with a wide leather belt. She finished her look with a tailored black blazer, gold cuff and long necklaces.

Kristen Cavallari does boho-chic effortlessly, while in Malibu. The reality star wore all black with a fabulous white faux fur jacket. She accessorized with a black floppy hat, Alexander Wang duffle bag and Christian Louboutin 'Moulage' platforms.

Paz Vega attended the Marrakech Film Festival earlier this week. The Spanish actress looked prim and poised in a black 3/4 sleeve Moschino dress with white accents.

Amber Heard was spotted on the streets of NYC in an embroidered Proenza Schouler bouclé jacket, worn over a black and white Dolce & Gabbana dress.

The Dresses That Impressed

Kaley Cuoco looked rather fetching in an ivory tulle and lace embroidered Tadashi Shoji dress, which has a grosgrain ribbon belt. Her choice of heels could have been more exciting.

Nina Dobrev smoldered in a black bustier dress with scalloped lace neckline and pencil skirt, by Monique Lhuillier. I was immediately drawn to her hot pink Brian Atwood pumps, which add a playful touch to this otherwise formal look.

Blake Lively looked delightful in Gucci at a Sprinkles Cupcakes event in New York. The Gossip Girl star wore a gold pleated metallic skirt with a cream blouse and gold floral brooch. She chose dark green Brian Atwood pumps to go with her look. Might I add, she was there to bake cupcakes for charity. Only Blake could bake in Gucci.

Kate Mara stood out in coral at 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' movie premiere in NYC. The actress looked pretty in a pleated chiffon Christian Dior dress with tie-up shoulder detail. She carried a sequined Miu Miu clutch, and walked in Brian Atwood metallic pumps. As you can tell from the last three looks, this was a really good week for Atwood.

Brooklyn Decker also wore Christian Dior this week, at an event hosted by CNN. The model opted for a revised 20's look in a cream & gold shimmer dress with frilled hem. Her choice of heels perfectly complimented the dress, with tie-up metallic gold Loeffler Randal sandals. 

 The Ones That Didn't

Fergie was out in LA wearing this oversized fur-sleeved coat. It appears that she's transitioning to play a werewolf in the next Twilight movie. 

Natalia Vodianova shows us what happened when she literally painted the town (and herself) red. She clearly took the song 'Lady in Red' too seriously.

Whitney Port in a mishmash of ideas and shapes that don't quite work together. 

Jessica Stroup rolled out of bed in a gold satin night dress to attend a charity benefit in California. She's always dressed well on 90210, I don't know what happened here. Could she have not borrowed some of the clothes from set?

Looks Of The Week - 10/12/11

A round-up of my favourite fashions this week.



Smart Casual

Kirsten Dunst exemplifies chic sophistication in a midnight blue trench coat by Burberry, with Dolce & Gabbana platforms and a quilted Chanel bag. 

Emma Roberts whirled a few pretty Rebecca Taylor pieces together for the designer's store opening in LA. Emma wore a green blouse under a scalloped tan coat, with a cute heart print skirt. A Prada clutch, black tights and ankle boots complete her look.

Sarah Jessica Parker looked every bit 'Carrie Bradshaw' on the streets of New York. The 46-year-old actress wore a white self-print dress and beige coat by Valentino. I love the addition of the vibrant aqua American Apparel tights, complimented by Jimmy Choo heels.

I am as shocked as you are to be featuring Lindsay Lohan on my list of favourites this week. But I couldn't deny that the fallen starlet looked dashing in her 70's inspired getup. She wears burgundy corduroy skinnies by Genetic Denim with an ivory blouse, tan floppy hat and incredible Yves Saint Laurent 'Tribtoo' pumps.

Glimmer & Lace

Lily Collins was in attendance at 'The Hollywood Reporter's Power 100 Women's Breakfast'. The beautiful brunette was refreshing in a lacy 'little blue dress' by BCBG/MaxAzria.

Emma Watson looked like a porcelain doll at the Lancome VIP Dinner in Hong Kong. The British star wore a navy blue Elie Saab dress with embellished bodice and full tulle skirt. Silver Jimmy Choo sandals fit her feet.

Claire Danes looked radiant at the Valentino Virtual Museum Launch party. She wore a crimson red embroidered lace dress by Valentino, paired with a black clutch and heels.

Olivia Palermo dazzles in a sparkly black number by Marchesa. She accessorized with mink studded heels and clutch bag, both by Valentino.

Jameela Jamil added a touch of tinsel to her menswear-inspired look. The British TV presenter wore a sequined tuxedo jacket over a long white shirt and tie, along with leather leggings and black platforms. 

Glamorous Gowns

Lea Michele stunned at the 'New Year's Eve' premiere in New York. The Glee star wore a glistening gold gown with plunging neck by Valentino.

Rose McGowan delighted in a berry-tinged dress at the Unicef Ball in Beverly Hills. Her mermaid gown adorned with floral appliqués is by Dolce & Gabbana. 

Emily Blunt looked graceful in a strapless fuchsia gown with frilled bodice by Marchesa. Her new hairstyle does wonders for her.

Coco Rocha looked elegant at the Milk Gallery in New York, wearing a twilight blue embroidered gown by Zac Posen.

Jessica Biel also walked the black carpet at the 'New Year's Eve' movie premiere. The actress looked sensational in a long-sleeved Valentino gown with shimmery striped detailing.

Looks Of The Week - 03/12/11

My selection of must-see looks this week.



Casual

Only Charlize Theron could wear a bright orange jumpsuit without looking like an escaped convict. The elegant actress wore a black velvet blazer over her plunge-neck, tapered leg suit while in New York City. She paired it with a large black clutch and strappy sandals.

Fearne Cotton was out in London wearing a unique black and white brick-print dress by Olivia Rubin. I commend her for being a style innovator - I think we're going to see a lot more of this print. The radio host kept the focus on the dress by wearing it with all black, including a leather biker, tights and tie-up boots.

Dianna Agron picked out a pretty outfit for a trip to Beverly Hills. The Glee star wore a pleated peach maxi skirt by McGinn, with a crisp white shirt, Miu Miu sunglasses and black ankle boots. I'm inspired to buy a maxi skirt after seeing this dainty look.

Miranda Kerr looked chic on the streets of New York, wearing a black leather Balenciaga jacket over a striped top by The Row. Khaki capri's, black buckled ankle boots and a large Celine tote complete her look.

Formal

Andrea Riseborough was in Los Angeles for the BAFTA Britannia Awards. The British actress enchanted in a celestial white Marchesa frock, framed by organza frills. Her metallic pumps are by Brian Atwood. I would've liked to see her with a softer hairstyle.

Cara Delevinge attended the Burberry boutique opening in Paris. The blonde model looked poised in a black Burberry dress, black tights and heels. She made a statement with a crimson red clutch and lipstick to match. I love how she wears simplicity with such fierceness.

Kate Beckinsale showed off her pins at the Independent Spirit Awards nomination event in Hollywood. The Underworld actress went for a sexy vintage-inspired look, in a beige and white drop-waist lace dress by Tadashi Shoji. Nude Brian Atwood pumps fit her feet.

Victoria Beckham at the British Fashion Awards wearing one of her own creations - she is faultless in this floor-sweeping black halter gown.

Debatable

Paula Patton was in Toyko promoting her new movie, 'Mission Impossible 4'. She wore a shiny black jumpsuit that's coming off more 'Catwoman' than couture.

Sarah Jessica Parker wore Louis Vuitton to the Unicef Snowflake Ball. I'm on the fence about her look. I like the flamboyance of the floral-eyelet skirt, which is covered in aqua and white ostrich feathers. I don't like the creasy cropped satin top that seems so disconnected from it.

Kate Moss was also an attendee at the British Fashion Awards. You're either going to love this look, Or you're also going to think it looks like a giant fishnet over a nude dress. 

Looks Of The Week

A round-up of my favourite (and not) outfits of the week.



Cocktail Wear

Blake Lively was suited up in Elie Saab for the "Gaga Holiday Workshop' at Barneys. The tall blonde sizzled in a bright blue suit with lace shoulder detail. She may be missing a shirt, but still manages to pull it off with poise.

Nicole Richie wears a loose-fitting Halston dress, fully coated in silver sequins with flashes of red. Her matching red clutch, jewellery and heels are from her own line, House of Harlow.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was in Paris for the opening of Marks & Spencer. The model wore a black and white colour blocked dress by Autograph for Marks & Spencer. So chic & clean. There's nothing much to this dress, but she makes it look far more than it's worth.



Street Style

Daisy Lowe in her hometown of London wearing a red and white tie-up shirt, black zip jacket and cropped grey schoolboy trousers. She added a large red tote and black biker boots.

Taylor Swift strolls New York City in a navy blue Ralph Lauren cable-knit sweater, paired with a mustard pleated skirt by ModCloth. She carries a blue Fendi bag, with ruby slippers by Marc by Marc Jacobs. Got to love her unique colour combination.

Pippa Middleton takes her sophisticated style to the streets of London, wearing a black and grey tweed coat, over a feminine cream lace shift. Black tights, a nude quilted bag and ballet flats complete her work-day outfit.

Evening Wear

Doutzen Kroes attended a movie premiere in Amsterdam, wearing an extraordinary ebony gown by Giambattista Valli. The strapless bodice is lined with bows, while the sizable skirt is covered in layers of tiny ruffles. As huge as it is, I don't feel that the dress overwhelms her.

Kristen Cavallari impressed me with her choice of evening gown for California's Marine Corps Ball. The reality star looked stunning in a vanilla mint strapless pleated gown by Maria Lucia Hohan. She accented her waist with a shiny gold Chloe belt.

Gillian Anderson (who I haven't seen in ages) is fine example of simple sophistication in a pristine white gown with pockets and belt, which is vintage Christian Dior.

Crimes of Style

I know Blake Lively is on my best dressed list, but this fringed affair pulled the rug from right under me. Fringing in moderation is fine, but this superfluous shroud is too much, even for a cabaret dancer. Sorry Blake, I love your style (on most occasions) but not this one.

Yasmin Le Bon in a see-through sequined artifact, trimmed with orange PVC. It's so disjointed and if that's a genuine fur coat (which I suspect it is), then I loathe this look even more.

Jessica Szhor, what happened from last week to this? There's enough fabric on her sleeves to make a whole other dress, maybe two.

Looks Of The Week

My Fashion Highlights of the week.



Casual

A very chic looking Kate Mara attended the Michael Kors store opening in LA. She wears leopard print shorts with a white tee and slate grey jacket, all by Michael Kors. Nude bow peep-toes and a Michael Kors clutch complete her cute outfit. 

Jessica Szhor chose an edgy street look for the Cinema Society/DKNY event. The Gossip Girl actress paired a floaty cream shift with a black leather biker jacket. She styled it with a black fedora, sling bag, sheer black tights and ankle boots.

Olivia Palermo takes on a sophisticated 70's look in a high waisted kick-flare jeans by Reiss Birkin, with a tan tucked-in shirt and Adrienne Landau fur loop. Her statement necklace is by Carerra y Carrera.

The always-stylish Rachel Bilson attended the Nylon November issue party. The Hart of Dixie star wore a glossy metallic Vanessa Bruno jacket over a t-shirt by The Row, along with rolled up Goldsign jeans. She carries a large tan suede Miu Miu clutch and stands in Louboutin Pigalle pumps. A black floppy hat tops off her look.

Glamorous

Spanish model Nieves Alvares does justice to this exquisite Elie Saab gown, which glimmers with black and gold beading and an asymmetrical neckline.

I retract what I said about Kristen Stewart being a one-trick-pony when it came to red carpet dresses. I was floored when I saw her in this Robert Cavalli masterpiece. The sheer black embellished gown is clinched in the waist by an Alexander McQueen belt. It wouldn't be 'Kristen' without an edge. Now, just for the hair and makeup...

Emma Stone looked elegant in a black and white printed dress with 3D shoulder detail by Chanel. A retro updo and red lipstick completed her look. She does New-Age Hollywood glamour well.

Colourful

Natasha Yarovenko was breathtaking at the Marie Claire Moda Awards in Madrid. The Spanish actress wears my favourite look of the week. Her strapless raspberry gown is by Zuhair Murad. The fit is impeccable, it's almost as if he made it with her in mind.

Model Lisa Sednaoui wears a sumptuous ensemble by Haider Akermann. The colour contrast between the rich teal and regal green is splendid. She takes a masculine-inspired outfit and makes it look sexy.

Filipina fashion designer Tamara Falco chose a beautiful royal blue embellished gown by Elie Saab. The colour speaks volumes, although I feel the fur stole was unnecessary.

Nikki Reed wowed fans at the 'Breaking Dawn - Part 1' Los Angeles premiere. Her delectable spearmint gown, edged with gold embroidery is by Marchesa Resort. To me it looks part sari, part Grecian, but pretty nonetheless.

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.

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.

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.

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.
