Cover Loving: ELLE US Hollywood Issue – Reese, Penélope, Melissa & Shailene

ELLE US Nov pcruz 2 Cover Loving: ELLE US Hollywood Issue Reese, Penélope, Melissa & Shailene %tag

American ELLE’s Hollywood issue is one of my favourite magazines to pick up as I love the mix of actresses they go for – and this year is no exception with Reese Witherspoon, Penélope Cruz, Shailene Woodley, and Melissa McCarthy all gracing the cover.

My favourite cover this year is a difficult choice – between Penélope Cruz, who looks stunning wearing a cashmere sweater by The Row and Chopard jewellery – I love how they’ve kept her make-up to a minimal to show off her adorable freckles, and Shailene Woodley, even though this cover looks set for summer rather than autumn wearing Calvin Klein Swimwear there is something different about the pose that makes it stand out.

Reese Witherspoon’s cover is probably the most predictable, but nevertheless she still looks stunning in a sexy Versace number. The cover I think I was most disappointed with was Melissa McCarthy styled in an oversized Marina Rinaldi coat with OTT eighties hair – I can only imagine how much hairspray they used.

Online there also seems to be another two covers featuring Marion Cotillard working the crop top trend in Dior, and British actress Naomie Harris looking absolutely gorgeous in a Calvin Klein Collection wrap halter top and skirt, very similar to the one that Rose Byrne wore to the Primetime Emmys.

Considering this is a November cover there is a lot of skin on show – especially with the main fashion tagline being ‘the perfect coat shape’. It is hard to decide on my favourite but I think it has to be Penélope Cruz as she just looks gorgeous and is really the only one, except for Melissa wearing anything autumn related.

Which cover is your favourite? Also do you think these covers seem more appropriate for spring/summer than November?

Save the Children Gala: Jennifer Garner In Calvin Klein

Calvin klein jennifer garner Save the Children Gala: Jennifer Garner In Calvin Klein %tag

Who: Jennifer Garner

Where: At the first-ever Save the Children benefit Gala held at Cipriani in New York

Wearing: A knee-length black dress by Calvin Klein with pockets and spaghetti straps, teamed with black heels, a black clutch and diamond earrings and bracelet

Verdict: This look is so effortless for Jennifer. The dress is chic, the accessories are perfect, and she is wearing just the right amount of sparkles – I love this look.

There isn’t anything special about this look, there is no pop of colour, she hasn’t even done anything amazing with her hair, but you know it just works – she really does look elegant and natural and I adore her make-up.

The event hosted by Jenna Bush Hager, honoured not only the Alias actress with the Advocate Award for her support for Save the Children but also former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who looked amazing in bubblegum-pink number.

What do you think of Jennifer Garner’s chic black dress?

Star Trek Into Darkness: Zoe Saldana In Calvin Klein

zoe saldana berlin Star Trek Into Darkness: Zoe Saldana In Calvin Klein %tag

Who: Actress Zoe Saldana

Where: At the ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ photocall held at the China Club in Berlin, Germany

Wearing: A grey Calvin Klein skirt and crop top featuring criss-cross buckle straps to the back, both from the autumn/winter 2013 collection, teamed with nude Jimmy Choo ‘Tahi’ sandals

Verdict: I know everyone is excited about the Great Gatsby promo tour to begin, I am as well, but I am so pleased to see Zoe Saldana on the red carpet trail for the up-coming Star Trek movie as she always brings something a little different.

This look is sexy, chic and edgy all at the same time, which is a pretty hard to do. I love the sophisticated vibe of the pleated wool skirt, the colour, the length and the large pleats are perfection. Whereas most celebrities would have probably paired with a white shirt and completed the sophisticated vibe, I love that Zoe added a sexy touch by teaming with a matching crop top, which with her incredible figure looked amazing.

So we’ve had chic and sexy and then Zoe turns around and gives us a whole lot of edge with those incredible criss-cross buckle straps, I seriously wish I had the figure to pull this look off.

Finishing up her incredible look are a great pair of heels, these nude Jimmy Choo sandals with their flower inspired perforated detailing are hot.

With a look like this for a photocall I can’t wait to see her premiere look!!!

Golden Globes 2013: Jessica Chastain In Calvin Klein Collection

jessica chastain calvin kle Golden Globes 2013: Jessica Chastain In Calvin Klein Collection %tag

Who: Jessica Chastain, who picked up the award for Best Actress in a Drama for her role in ‘Zero Dark Thirty’

Where: At the Golden Globe Awards 2013, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in California

Wearing: A seaform silk crepe custom Calvin Klein Collection halter dress, teamed with Harry Winston diamonds

Verdict: This dress was not what I was expecting from Jessica Chastain, I was expecting something a little more edgy, instead this gown has an ethereal quality to it that I don’t think translated well.

I look at it and I want to love it, and in part I do, the colour especially is perfection against her skintone and her fiery coloured hair, and I loved the backless style of the gown, I just felt it wasn’t fitted very well.

Considering this was a custom gown it just looked like the bodice was a little big and the silhouette of the gown was unflattering it really needed to be nipped in more at her waist – she has a great figure that isn’t being shown off in this dress.

What did totally work were her jewels as she was dripping in Harry Winston diamonds worth $3 million – that cuff is gorgeous.

Do you rate Jessica’s look?

Olivia Wilde: One Night, Two Stunning Looks

OliviaWildeButter Olivia Wilde: One Night, Two Stunning Looks %tag

There is something different about Olivia Wilde of late, don’t get me wrong she has always been stunning, extremely beautiful and graceful, but she seriously hasn’t wowed me in a long time, so long I had to delve deep into the Fashionista Barbie archives to find her in that gorgeous Marchesa gown that she wore to the  68th annual Golden Globe Awards – now that was a frock. Since then she really hasn’t stood out on my radar, well that was until last night in New York where she wore two amazing dresses as she promotes her new film Butter.

First up was a very chic Alexander McQueen white leaf crepe pencil dress from the Resort 2013 collection, which fitted her perfectly. What I love most about this look, other than being very envious of her fab body, is that she wore this in white, she could have so easily gone for black and it wouldn’t have had the same impact, plus I adore white teamed with gold accessories – those Giuseppe Zanotti heels are amazing. Plus what better way to finish off a look than with an Alexander McQueen skull box clutch - absolutely love it from head-to-toe.

Second up, and by no means least, was her incredible transformation into a green printed Calvin Klein Collection cape dress for the afterparty and the launch of Calvin Klein’s new men’s fragrance, Encounter, you know the one with hunky Alexander Skarsgård as the face.

Her stylist, Karla Welch, who has been a busy lady lately also styling Zooey Deschanel and Kelly Osbourne at the Emmys, has really done an incredible job. I love cape dresses – hey Gwyneth Paltrow really did steal the show at the Oscars in Tom Ford, and I love any cape on a gown – especially when being worn by Sarah Jessica Parker, her red Giambattista Valli Haute Couture gown was divine, and I really do feel that Olivia’s Calvin Klein look is just as gorgeous.

I have to admit I love seeing cape gowns go dramatic and skim the floor but I actually think those Calvin Klein Collection cobra chain heels really pull off this look falling just above the ankle. Another stunning look from Olivia.

Which of the looks do you think Olivia works best?

Cannes 2012: Diane Kruger Looking Girlie In Calvin Klein

DianeCalvinKlein Cannes 2012: Diane Kruger Looking Girlie In Calvin Klein %tag
Who: Actress & 2012 Cannes Film Festival Juror Diane Kruger

Where: At Calvin Klein’s women in film event in Cannes

Wearing: A coral textured midi Calvin Klein Collection dress with a plunging neckline, that was modified from the autumn/winter 2012 collection it was presented in black; finishing her look were white Givenchy strappy heels and a metallic box clutch

Verdict: The first thing I noticed and I am sure everyone else did as well has to be her boobs they look incredible in this dress without making her look tacky, which is hard to do when they are completely on show like this. I love the colour, I love the midi length on her, the silhouette is sweet, and her heels are insane and work perfectly with the dress, but it doesn’t feel enough for Cannes.

Don’t get me wrong she does look stunning, and I am loving her slick ponytail, but this dress is just nice, and nice just isn’t enough for Cannes. Am I being extra picky? I feel that if this was any other party, photocall, or premiere I probably would have loved it but something is holding me back – what do you think is this look a winner?

The Hunger Games: Jennifer Lawrence In Calvin Klein

JenniferCK2 The Hunger Games: Jennifer Lawrence In Calvin Klein %tag

Who: Jennifer Lawrence

Where: At a special NYC screening of The Hunger Games, which hits cinemas this week

Wearing: A forest green silk Calvin Klein Collection dress with a plunging neckline, a pleated skirt and matching belt from the pre-fall 2012 collection, teamed with Jimmy Choo heels

Verdict: I love this dress, super flattering, a gorgeous colour, and the deep v neckline is so sexy it is nice to see her having a little fun with her red carpet appearances. This promo tour has been crazy busy, first we had LA, then London, Paris and Berlin, and now the Hunger Games has hit up New York and I am liking this flirty side of her.

I am so excited to see the movie – I am hoping to see it tomorrow – anyone else going?
