Critics’ Choice Movie Awards: Nina Dobrev Sparkles In Monique Lhuillier

 Critics Choice Movie Awards: Nina Dobrev Sparkles In Monique Lhuillier %tag
Who: Nina Dobrev

Where: At the 18th Critics’ Choice Movie Awards held in Santa Monica, California

Wearing: An aqua-blue embellished Monique Lhuillier cocktail dress featuring keyhole detail at the bodice from the spring/summer 2013 collection, teamed with Brian Atwood heels

Verdict: I wasn’t the only one who missed Nina on the red carpet of the People’s Choice Awards earlier this week, but it was worth waiting to see her this award season as this is one divine Monique Lhuillier dress.

Whereas everyone seemed to go for floor-length at last night’s Critics’ Choice awards it was refreshing to see the Vampire Diaries star embracing her youth and incredible figure in this jewel encrusted beauty. I am not sure if they are sequins or actual jewels but they certainly dazzled in all the right way for me, and the colour is just gorgeous.

2012 was a great style year for Nina and it seems that 2013 is just going to see her shine even brighter on the red carpet and I can’t wait to see more. I simply love this sexy dress on her.

Pitch Perfect: Anna Kendrick in Zuhair Murad

AnnaKendrickPitchPerfect Pitch Perfect: Anna Kendrick in Zuhair Murad %tag

Who: Actress Anna Kendrick

Where: At the ‘Pitch Perfect’ premiere in Los Angeles

Wearing: A nude high-neck sleeveless Zuhair Murad mini dress featuring a gold embroidery design from the autumn/winter 2012 ready-to-wear collection, teamed with Brian Atwood heels, Dana Rebecca Designs rings and earrings, and a gold mirrored Judith Leiber clutch

Verdict: I am not sure how I missed Anna Kendrick looking so stunning on the red carpet for her new flick Pitch Perfect in LA, I am thinking it is because I was so blown away by the gorgeous Brittany Snow, but wow, wow, wow to this incredible Zuhair Murad mini dress.

Everything from the silhouette of the kick-flare dress to the gold and nude colour combination, to her glossy wavy hair, this is one stunning look. I loved her edgy Mulberry dress she wore in Toronto and now I am loving this sexy Zuhair Murad – I am going to have to keep an eye on Anna as she really has up her fashion game lately!!!

What do you think of Anna’s latest look?

Primetime Emmy Awards: Julianna Margulies in Giambattista Valli Couture

JuliannaMarguiles Primetime Emmy Awards: Julianna Margulies in Giambattista Valli Couture %tagWho: Julianna Margulies

Where: At the 64th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards held at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles

Wearing: A strapless floral printed Giambattista Valli Haute Couture gown from the autumn/winter 2012 collection, teamed with Brian Atwood heels and Fred Leighton jewellery

Verdict: I promise I am not going to do a separate post for each and every look off the Emmy Awards red carpet but I have picked out a number of looks that I adored, or surprised me, and this look from Julianna Margulies ticks both columns.

Normally, Julianna goes for Armani or Calvin Klein she likes the minimalist structured gowns, and I have to be honest I thought it would have been another Armani look, but this divine couture gown from Giambattista Valli is stunning on her. I love the floral pattern, the hidden pockets, and her bling Fred Leighton earrings finishes off her look perfectly.

This is a hot look and I am glad that she stepped out of her comfort zone as she looks beautiful and she is definitely one of my best dressed of the night.

Do you rate Julianna in this haute couture Giambattista Valli?

Toronto Film Festival: Anna Kendrick Looks Edgy In Mulberry

AnnaMulberry Toronto Film Festival: Anna Kendrick Looks Edgy In Mulberry %tag

Who: Twilight and Up In The Air actress Anna Kendrick

Where: At the premiere for her new flick The Company You Keep, which took place during the Toronto Film Festival

Wearing: Mulberry’s moonlight tie dye silk ‘Fitted Nightie Dress’ from the autumn/winter 2012 collection, teamed with Brian Atwood strappy heels and a bronze clutch

Verdict: There is something about Anna Kendrick, she can look a little uncomfortable in dresses that are too sexy, she sometimes doesn’t quite pull off high-fashion looks, but I am loving that she has chosen this edgy look as she really pulls it off.

This printed ‘Nightie’ dress is incredible, I love the contoured style of the dress it really suits her tiny frame, but it is the ethereal print featuring tie-dye shades of midnight blue, orange and black that makes this dress divine for me. It is a little different for a red carpet look and that is why it stands out. This is a really great look from Anna.

Buy Her Style: Fancy buying Anna’s silk dress? Well you can pick it up now from Mulberry for £2,500 – bargain right!!!

What do you think of Anna’s edgier look?

Nicole Fragrance Launch: Nicole Richie In Alberta Ferretti

NicoleRichieFragrance Nicole Fragrance Launch: Nicole Richie In Alberta Ferretti %tagWho: Nicole Richie

Where: At Macy’s Glendale Galleria in California for the launch of her debut fragrance ‘Nicole’

Wearing: A white pleated silk v-neck Alberta Ferretti dress, teamed with good jewellery and Brian Atwood leather booties featuring gold zip detailing

Verdict: This dress is super cute, I love the girlie vibe of this little white dress with the tiered pleats to the skirt, but what I am not loving is the black booties. I get that she has an eccentric individual style but these shoes just feel wrong with this pretty dress – is it just me?

Back to what I love, check out the ‘Nicole’ bottle, wow, wow, wow, how expensive does this look. Apparently, the fragrance was inspired by the various lotions and oils that Nicole’s mother used and has a fruity aroma. American followers can buy Nicole’s fragrance next month, no date on a UK launch – but I can’t wait to smell it, I think I have been sold just by the sexy ad!!!

Do you rate Nicole’s look? And are you excited to smell Nicole’s debut fragrance?

Video Loving: Brian Atwood’s Uber Sexy Campaign Featuring Candice Swanepoel

BrianAtwood Video Loving: Brian Atwoods Uber Sexy Campaign Featuring Candice Swanepoel %tag

Now if there was ever a fashion film and print campaign that was destined to be banned it is this uber sexy campaign from Brian Atwood and I love it.

Inspired by the allure of sexual submission, fearless beauty, and cinemagraphic voyeurism, this is one sexy campaign featuring supermodel Candice Swanepoel wearing thigh-high boots, animal print stillettos, bondage strapped heels and not much else.

To be honest when I first saw the print campaign and film, both shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, it made me think it was advertising Agent Provocateur or some other lingerie brand as Candice is seen gyrating up and down a wall of TV screens playing porn, or as the release states “reliving the previous night’s fantasy”, and it is hard to focus on the shoes!!!

So what do you think of the fashion film? It is the first film from The Sex Is In The Heel series, I am intrigued to see how anything can follow this in the sexy stakes as it is seriously steamy!!!

MTV Movie Awards: Round Up – The Standouts & The Predictable

ElizabethBanksElieSaab MTV Movie Awards: Round Up   The Standouts & The Predictable %tag

This years MTV Movie Awards weren’t what I was expecting, normally for MTV’s award ceremonies there isn’t much off the red carpet that I want to report on, but this time round I was pleasantly surprised, granted there were still a few predictable choices from the likes of Jennifer Aniston, and a few shockers, yes Jenna Dewan I am talking about you, but overall it was quite an interesting red carpet.

One of my favourite looks has to be Elizabeth Banks in this gorgeous, very trendy and perfect for the MTV Awards Elie Saab jumpsuit from the autumn/winter 2012 ready-to-wear collection. I absolutely love the lace panelling to the arms, legs and neckline, as well as the flawless tailoring of the jumpsuit, which fits her perfectly. Also I am glad to see Lulu Guinness’ lips clutch hitting the red carpet.

Next up we have three of my other favourite looks from three young actresses that really did shine. From Shailene Woodley giving Elizabeth Banks a run for her money for best jumpsuit in a black tuxedo halter menswear-inspired look by Stella McCartney from the autumn/winter 2012 London Evening Collection. From this picture her hair lets it down but trust me her fishtail braid was a divine touch, I am also loving her black lucite Stella McCartney heel sandals.

Emma Stone continued to impress me in this edgy monochrome Martin Grant Paris cocktail dress, which has been modified from an autumn/winter 2012 look, the architectural detailing to the bodice really makes this dress standout, plus her gorgeous nude leather ‘Grace’ Brian Atwood heels and tousled updo. Very chic look.

Working sports luxe to perfection was Emma Watson who looked gorgeous and edgy in Brood’s autumn/winter 2012 digital-printed top and skirt. Finishing off her flawless look were Tabitha Simmons Gothic strappy sandal heels.

I do love a good collaboration and hitting the MTV Movie Awards red carpet was a one-of-a-kind Christian Siriano strapless black spiral pleated black silk taffeta mini adorned with Timex watches and Swarovski crystals and Christina Ricci worked it. Styled by Brad Goreski, this dress is different but utterly striking inspired by John Singer Sargent’s 1884 oil painting titled Portrait of Madame X. I love the detailing on the bodice with the watch gears and faces.

Now to the predictable, which might I add I don’t dislike I just wasn’t surprised with their choices. From Kristen Stewart in a Guishem tight-fitted mini from the autumn/winter 2012 collection, to Jessica Biel in a simple-yet-textured Chanel dress from the spring/summer 2012 collection, I am grateful that she wore those gorgeous Barbara Bui heels as they are hot.

The most predictable award however has to go to Jennifer Aniston, who once again wore a LBD, granted this one is leather, but still it is black and from one of her go-to designers Valentino. Hey she looks good in this one shoulder number from the autumn/winter 2012 collection, but come on if any award show deserved colour it was the MTV Movie Awards.

Who gets your best dressed vote?
