The Raven: Alice Eve Shows Off Her Curves in Donna Karan

AliceEveDonnaKaran The Raven: Alice Eve Shows Off Her Curves in Donna Karan %tag

Who: Actress Alice Eve

Where: At the Los Angeles screening of her new flick The Raven

Wearing: A black belted calf-length Donna Karan cocktail dress from the pre-fall 2012 collection, with an asymmetric strap across her shoulders and a split to the pencil skirt; teamed with gold jewellery and blue suede Brian Atwood open-toe heels

Verdict: I love it when you get old-school Hollywood glamour on the red carpet with a modern twist it really does make me sit up and notice. I love the cut of the dress on her, fits perfectly and really accentuates her curves, which is nice to see. But what I love most has to be the usual asymmetric strap across her shoulders, on first glance it distracted me slightly, but when you take in the whole look with her foxy curves, her wavy blonde bob, those gorgeous bright blue heels and the gold ornate jewellery it totally works.

I am really loving that Donna Karan is getting a lot of red carpet action at the moment, I loved Christa Allen in a dress that reminds me of a fifties prom dress, and I was completely blown away by the amazing Cobie Smulder in that sexy bronze and black gown. Each gown completely different, but each one is very feminine and exquisitely made. I hope this Donna Karan trend continues as I am loving the variety on the red carpet.

Essence Luncheon: Emma Stone Wows In Elie Saab

emmastoneeliesaab Essence Luncheon: Emma Stone Wows In Elie Saab %tag

Who: Emma Stone

Where: At the 5th annual Essence ‘Black Women in Hollywood’ luncheon

Wearing: A white three-quarter sleeved Elie Saab Couture dress from the spring/summer 2012 collection, paired with Brian Atwood platform heels and a nude-toned clutch

Verdict: I love, love, love this Elie Saab dress, not only does Emma Stone look gorgeous in white totally pops against her striking hair colouring, but the fit-and-flare silhouette is perfection on her, but what I adore the most has to be the cotton-wool textured embroidery detailing.

This dress really is the perfect choice for a luncheon and I love that Emma wore it, what I am wishing though is that she had worn bright coloured accessories – maybe an electic blue heel or a Barbie pink clutch – this demure dress is calling out for a pop of colour.

What do you think – pop of colour of nude-tone accessories with this angelic dress?

Oscar Nominations: Jennifer Lawrence In Prada

jenniferlawrenceprada Oscar Nominations: Jennifer Lawrence In Prada %tag

Who: Jennifer Lawrence

Where: Announcing the 84th Annual Academy Awards nominees at the AMPAS Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, California

Wearing: A blue, yellow and black Prada dress in ‘broderie anglaise’ enriched with plissé on the front and embroidered popeline on the side modified from the spring/summer 2012 collection, teamed with Brian Atwood heels

Verdict: I said on Twitter the morning of the announcements that I wanted to see Jennifer in a girlie candy pastel Louis Vuitton dress, something youthful and fun, part of me kind of knew that wouldn’t happen and sadly it didn’t. It isn’t that I dislike this Prada ensemble, it just seems a little mature for her and the occasion could have dealt with something more girlie. On the plus side her body does look amazing in this form-fitted dress, it really does nip in perfectly on her tiny waist.

Sad thing is even though Jennifer announced the nominations she also confirmed she wasn’t attending this year, which is a real shame as her striking red Calvin Klein number was a real hit.

Video Loving: Shake Your Fringe – Brian Atwood Style

I love celebrity shoe designer, Brian Atwood, I love his diffusion line B Brian Atwood even more after seeing these gorgeous fringed Cassiane heels. Seriously sexy, so seduction, and completely untamed – I think if I had these snakeskin-stamped with sparkling platform and heel, I would be shaking my thing on stage as well!!!

2012 is all about the Gatsby-inspired flapper, and I love how Brian has made the trend current, the chain fringe draping on these heels is divine. Also did you spot Brian Atwood making a cameo? LOVE!!!

XOXO: The Day Leighton Meester Came To Town

leighton2 XOXO: The Day Leighton Meester Came To Town %tag

As you know I do adore Gossip Girl, I think in part it is because I want to be Blair, well yesterday Leighton Meester came to London to launch Vera Wang’s new fragrance Lovestruck, which she is the face of, and OMG how beautiful she is.

I didn’t actually get to meet the amazing Leighton or Vera Wang, like I did when Nicole Richie came to town, sadly I was just passing through Harrods and didn’t have the time to queue up and get a bottle of the perfume signed. But I did get a few snaps – I just loved how happy she looked, how friendly she seemed and seriously her make-up and hair was flawless.

Leighton looked gorgeous in Vera Wang of course, teaming her chiffon pleated sleeveless top with gorgeous stretch leather motorcycle leggings, finishing off her outfit with Brian Atwood heels.

Marchesa Emma Watson MTV MTV Movie Awards: Emma Watson Dazzles In Marchesa %tag

Who: Emma Watson

Where: At the MTV Movie Awards in Los Angeles

Wearing: A white silk Marchesa dress with hand embroidered cap sleeve and neckline, teamed with Brian Atwood heels

Verdict: It seemed everyone went for mini dresses and for embellishments, but this is one of my favourite looks, the exquisite detailing on the sleeve and neckline is divine. Not only does the dress fit Emma perfectly, her hair is chic and the simple earrings equals great styling. I love her look from head-to-toe!!

Who: Newlywed actress Reese Witherspoon

Where: At the 46th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas, Nevada

Wearing: A black lace Marchesa cocktail dress with tulle overlay and embroidered bodice, teamed with Brian Atwood heels

Verdict: I have to admit I do love Reese Witherspoon, and I will be rushing out to buy People magazine and Hello! next week to see her wedding pictures. But until then it is nice to see her looking fabulous in this gorgeous Marchesa cocktail gown. I love the elegance of the sweetheart neckline, as well as the length falling just above the knee, it really is a great dress and she looks stunning in it.

Seeing Reese in this gown has made me quite excited about the other outfits she is going to bring out for her new movie Water for Elephants.
