Shop Her Style: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley In Paige

Who: British bombshell Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Where: Out and about in Los Angeles, California

Wearing: A pair of Paige High Rise Bell Canyon flared jeans in Breckenridge, with her go-to leopard print scarf, a dusky pink blazer, and a knitted jumper; teamed with a nude Mulberry Evelina leather satchel from the spring/summer 2012 collection, matching nude boots and finishing off her look are Burberry 3051 aviator sunglasses.

Verdict: I do love it when celebrities do dressing down so well and I am loving this shade of pink teamed with dark denim – it just looks so fresh. Add in the stylish leopard scarf and those hot sunnies and this is a great look from head-to-toe. Oh, and I can’t forget that gorgeous Mulberry satchel – love the colour, the shape and it works against the dark denim and pink.

Buy Her Style: Lets get back to the denim, which are gorgeous and are uber-flattering, not that she needs any help in that department. Paige jeans are one of my favourite denim brands and I have had my eye on these high-rise flared jeans for a while, mainly because they are made from light-weight slim fitting denim that is super comfortable, oh and I am a sucker for flares.

I could only find the Breckenridge shade on the Paige USA site for $199; but if you love the style but prefer a more casual distressed shade then you are in luck as Donna Ida has the Marine style in stock for £205.

Verdict: It isn’t often that I am at a party that I actually get to speak to the celebrity about what they are wearing. This week thanks to my HTC Adventure to New York I actually spoke to Leighton Meester about her fab look, which I loved. The dress was amazing, I loved the print on the skirt it really did stand out, but for me and it seemed everyone at the party Leighton’s look was all about those to-die-for heels. I just loved the tribal-vibe they have going on with the draped beaded detail to the front.

Not only was Leighton completely stunning, I have to admit I did fall in love with her more when I saw her in Harrods a few months back, but speaking to her and having my pic with her was cool. Granted not an amazing pic, iPhones really do suck *joking*, but hey it is a great keep sake from a fabulous night!!

Transformers 3: The Beauty That Is Rosie

rosielondon Transformers 3: The Beauty That Is Rosie %tag

As you have probably seen Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon is full swing with its promo tour, so far stopping off at Rio, Moscow, Berlin and then last night in London. All eyes I think have been on British beauty Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, not only to see what she is wearing, which may I add has been impeccable, but to see if she can live up to the Megan Fox hype!!

I for one can’t wait to see the film and I have to admit I think I have developed a little girl crush on Rosie especially as she hasn’t put a foot wrong for her promo wardrobe, I have love every single piece.

I think my favourite so far has to be what she wore last night. No surprise that when in London she would turn to Burberry, she was once their face, and I am so glad that she did. Rosie wore a gorgeous custom-made satin midnight blue backless Burberry gown slashed to the waist and a plunging neckline, seriously stunning!!! I just love those embellished halter-neck straps that continues as one piece down her back.

Prior to London the Victoria’s Secret model wowed at the European premiere in Berlin, in this jaw-dropping backless silver sequined Naeem Khan gown from the autumn/winter 2011 collection. I adore sparkles especially on the red carpet, and I think Rosie has the right idea here by making it more old-school Hollywood glamour with her soft waves draped to the side. I also love that this floor-length gown has short sleeves, it adds something different to the look, the only think I would have done different is gone minus the belt, it works from the front but that open back deserves more.

I even adore this long sleeve Stella McCartney dress that Rosie wore to the Germany press conference, the plunging neckline still adds a bit of sex appeal but is reserved enough for the occasion. Teamed with pointed-toe nude Christian Louboutins, as if she needed to lengthen those legs!!!

I adore the Burberry gown, but this Gucci dress from the autumn/winter 2011 collection is a close second that she wore to the Global Premiere at the Moscow Film Festival.

Completely different from her other looks, she really is a designer dream, and she has worked her designers, colours and styles well this promo tour. This look works for me because of the sheer skirt, I just think it is a completely sexy look without being OTT, and then you scan up to the bodice and I fall in love again with that gorgeous mustard shade and floral appliqué. Totally chic, I love it from head-to-toe.

I am so glad that Rosie wore this Barbie pink Michael Kors silk-jersey dress from his spring 2011 collection as the fuchsia colour looks just divine on her, as does the thigh-high split!! Seen on the runway in flats I am glad that Rosie went for heels, these nude-pink platforms complete the look perfectly.

In Rio, Rosie also went for Michael Kors, this time a chic black race-back jersey gown team with a black leather asymmetric belt, both from the autumn/winter 2011 collection. I also love that she finished her look with these black ankle cuff stilettos also by Michael Kors they look exquisite with the thigh-high split.

Which Rosie look is your favourite?

Wimbledon Fever: WTA Gets Fashionable

wimbledon championships 2010 winners ball Wimbledon Fever: WTA Gets Fashionable %tag

I love it when two of my passions collide, I am a huge tennis fan and add fashion into the mix and I am one happy blogger. I always love waiting to see what delights *or horrors* the Williams sisters are wearing, which earrings Maria Sharapova has decided on, and even which star has added a flash of colour to her traditional whites.

Sport and fashion does go hand-in-hand I think, Venus Williams designs her line with Reebok, Rafael Nadel shows of his amazing body for Armani, Andy Roddick designs for Lacoste as well as fronting their fragrance, Cole Haan went for Maria Sharapova as its face, Caroline Wozniacki works Adidas by Stella McCartney on court, and even tennis legend Bjorn Borg has his own underwear line!!

So it is nice to see that for this year’s Wimbledon the Women’s Tennis Association is teaming up with the BFC and UK fashion designers to make their tennis stars shine at the annual pre-Wimbledon bash at the Kensington Rooftop Gardens, London on June 16 *praying for an invite*.

“The WTA’s partnership with the British Fashion Council provides our players with a unique opportunity to work with some of London’s most talented creative minds,” said Stacey Allaster, Chairman and CEO of the WTA.  “Women’s tennis has always had a link to the fashion of the time, and we are very pleased to be able to collaborate with the British Fashion Council to share our players’ interest in fashion and style with some of the world’s best fashion designers.”

When I first glanced at the list of designers, which includes Burberry, and Stella McCartney I was worried as they are already well established and have links with sport; Serena Williams is a long time fan of Christopher Bailey, she even flew in for his show and has worn his designs on many occasions, and Stella McCartney not only dresses Caroline Wozniacki but also the British Olympic team. But I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that David Koma, Hussein Chalayan and Giles Deacon are also involved.

So who is dressing who?
Caroline Wozniacki – Stella McCartney *no surprise – contract probably states it*
Serena Williams – Burberry *she will look amazing*
Vera Zvonareva – Hussein Chalayan *will be wearing a dress from the autumn/winter collection*
Li Na – Giles Deacon *this is huge – as her popularity is high after the French Open – the dress is interesting with an image of Lady Jane Grey on the corset*
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova – David Koma *this is the one I am most excited about*
Ana Ivanovic – Matthew Williamson
Jelena Jankovic – Vivienne Westwood *great tie-up, out of all the tennis stars Jelena has the attitude to pull Vivienne Westwood*
Samantha Stosur – Mary Katrantzou
Heather Watson – Mulberry *I can just imagine her amazing accessories now*
Laura Robson – Temperley
Andrea Petkovic – Richard Nicoll *is wearing a putty dress adapted from the resort collection*
If the amazing designer dresses weren’t enough the female tennis stars will also be wearing Nicholas Kirkwood heels, and for most their date will be the amazing designer who creates their dress.
I can’t wait to see the dresses, and I wonder how much each goes for as after the party the gowns will be auctioned off during Wimbledon with the proceeds being split between WTA charities and the British Fashion Council’s Princess of Wales Charitable Trust.

Met Gala 2011: Best Dressed – Isabel, Ashley and Rosie

After the Awards season one of my favourite events to cover has to be the Costume Institute Gala in New York, and this year’s event honouring Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, did not disappoint me. It seems that the Honorary chairs of the gala benefit François-Henri Pinault and Salma Hayek (in Alexander McQueen couture) seen above with co-chairs Colin Firth, Stella McCartney, and Anna Wintour, really did a good job on the guest-list.

I always like time to reflect on my favourites, but I think I have finally pinned it down to my top three looks.

Snapping up the top spot for me has to be Isabel Lucas, I love everything about her enchanted look, from the colour and the pleats to the bow-shaped button accents, oh and did I forget to mention the most amazing headpiece I have ever seen. Isabel looks divine in her Louis Vuitton gown.

Second up has to be this exquisite Donna Karan gown worn by Ashley Greene, the detailing on this dress is so amazing and every event needs that princess moment for me – and this one is perfection. If like me you are a little obsessed with this gorgeous gown and you are lucky enough to live in New York then head on down to the Madison Avenue Donna Karan store where the dress will be on display.

For my third slot I went back and forth a lot, as I loved all the McQueen looks especially Coco Rocha in her navy gown and Salma Hayek in blush, however I think in true Barbie fashion it is only right to go for a blonde in pink, so my third best dressed is Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

You have to admit, the FHM’s World’s Sexiest Woman does look absolutely stunning in her custom Burberry frock, I am excited to see what looks she brings out for Transformers 3 promo tour.

Check out all the dresses here. Let me know which is your favourite.

Met Gala 2011: Rosie Huntington Whiteley Rocks Burberry

RosieBurberry 500x888 Met Gala 2011: Rosie Huntington Whiteley Rocks Burberry %tag

Who: Model/actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Where: At the Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City

Wearing: A custom made Burberry rose silk gown, with cut-out detailing to the shoulders, and a thigh-high slit, teamed with Burberry cream strappy heels and clutch

Verdict: This is one sexy frock! I love the colour of the dress, the cut-out detailing, but most of all I love how she is oozing old-Hollywood glamour. The fuchsia silk is perfect against her hair – and I am so glad that she chose to coordinate her look with cream accessories anything else wouldn’t have worked as well.

Wearing: A grey ruffled Burberry Prorsum halter dress with leather details, teamed with an amazing quilted leather biker jacket, both from the spring/summer 2011 collection, and finished off nicely with a Burberry studded leather clutch

Verdict: I love everything about this look from Rachel, the dress is cute but with an edgy feel with the added leather detailing, and then teaming it with that jacket – it is to-die-for!!

I also so pleased that she had her hair cut – divine red carpet look from Rachel.
