Golden Globes 2013: Jennifer Lawrence In Dior Haute Couture

Jennifer lawrence dior Golden Globes 2013: Jennifer Lawrence In Dior Haute Couture %tag

Who: Golden Globe-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence

Where: At the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in California

Wearing: A strapless coral organza Dior Haute Couture gown featuring a structured bustier and metal belt from the autumn/winter 2012 collection, teamed with Chopard jewellery and Brian Atwood heels

Verdict: It wasn’t a surprise that the Silver Linings Playbook winner chose Dior, she is the upcoming face of the Miss Dior campaign, but I was surprised for the Dior ball gown she went for, but I am pleased she went for the coral number than the yellow she said she was considering on the red carpet coverage.

I am pleased that she went for such a vibrant colour, the coral red looked stunning on the red carpet, but what stole this look for me had to be the Madonna-inspired structured bustier, I actually liked the modern twist to the gown. I also adored how the gown really showed off her tiny waist, which was emphasised by the addition of the metal belt – such a great piece of styling.

Finishing off her look was a gorgeous selection of Chopard jewellery, Jennifer wore a pair of round-cut diamond drop earrings, a rose-cut white diamond cocktail ring set in platinum, and a pink diamond cocktail ring set in 18-carat white gold. They were the perfect addition to a gorgeous look.

Total Recall: Jessica Biel in Christian Dior Couture

JessicaBielDior Total Recall: Jessica Biel in Christian Dior Couture %tag

Who: Jessica Biel

Where: At the Hollywood premiere of ‘Total Recall’ at the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles

Wearing: A strapless pastel pink Christian Dior gown that falls just above the ankles, with a nipped-in waist, exaggerated hips and outer pocket detail from the autumn/winter 2012 Couture collection, teamed with Louis Vuitton silver-tipped heels, a white Jimmy Choo clutch, and Tom Binns jewellery

Verdict: Wow it seems that Couture was the order of the day for the Total Recall premiere, Kate Beckinsale looked stunning in a dramatic Armani Privé gown, and Jessica it seems decided to go for a girlie approach in this pretty retro-inspired Dior gown.

I love the colour on her, I love the white accessories – the Louis Vuitton silver toe-caps are gorgeous, and the cylindrical clutch is cute, but I draw the line at the heavy jewellery.

Everything about this look is delicate and elegant but that necklace is a little OTT for me, it is striking and with another dress it would have been stunning, but with this gown it really doesn’t work and kind of spoils the overall look.

What do you think does Jessica pip Kate to the best dressed at the Total Recall premiere?

The Dark Knight Rises: Marion Cotillard In Christian Dior Haute Couture

MarionCotillardDior The Dark Knight Rises: Marion Cotillard In Christian Dior Haute Couture %tag

Who: Marion Cotillard

Where: At the world premiere of The Dark Knight Rises at the AMC Lincoln Square Theater in New York City

Wearing:An ivory Christian Dior Haute Couture embroidered and organza dress with a ruffled skirt, teamed with silver T-Strap Christian Louboutin heels with spike-embellishment detailing to the front and Chopard earrings

Verdict: Well it was the white-off on the red carpet last night, Marion Cotillard really is gave Anne Hathaway a run for her money, and it makes me excited for the rest of the promo tour. I like this frothy dress it just doesn’t wow me like Anne’s Prabal Gurung gown, I think it is because Marion could do so much better than this look.

What I do love though are those insane ‘Lady Max’ heels, it gives this girl dress an edge – I also can’t fault her impeccable make-up and hair – I love her side-swept up-do and glossed lips.

Who gets your vote – Anne or Marion?

Video Loving: How Dior Used A Million Flowers

diorflowers Video Loving: How Dior Used A Million Flowers %tag

If like me and you were fascinated and blow away by the setting of Raf Simons’ debut collection for Dior Couture earlier this month and the salons filled floor-to-ceiling with gorgeous flowers you will adore this behind-the-scenes video Dior has posted of the flowers being installed for the show.

Over one million flowers were used, yep one million – how insane is that, and the installation on the video took four days with each flower hand-woven into the walls. This video just shows the incredible lengths that fashion houses go to for their fashion shows and I love it.

Fancy recreating the look? Well you will just need to raid your local florist for delphiniums, peonies, roses, orchids, and achillea!!!

Also want a reminder of the amazing autumn/winter couture show? Well click below:

AW12 Campaign: Mila Kunis Embodies Old-Hollywood Glamour For Dior

milakunisdior AW12 Campaign: Mila Kunis Embodies Old Hollywood Glamour For Dior %tag

There is something special about Mila Kunis, of course she is gorgeous, but it is something else that draws me in, I think it is because she is a bit of a chameleon. This is the girl who can rock double denim on the cover of Glamour to embodying old-Hollywood glamour for a high-end advertising campaign – that is hard to do.

This is her second campaign as the face of Miss Dior handbags and I love the Fifties Hollywood film star vibe to the gorgeous black and white shots. Last time around the campaign was demure, this time I am loving the bouffant hair, the retro paparazzi mob, and the incredible Dior gown that she is wearing.

Captured in Los Angeles by photographer Mario Sorrenti and styled by former Paris Vogue editor-in-chief Carine Roitfeld this is a beautiful campaign - Mila is an elegant beauty in this striking ad and I am sure it will jump off the page when I see it in a magazine as well. I also hear that there is a short film with the campaign – I can’t wait to see that.

Do you like Mila Kunis as the face of Miss Dior?

Paris Couture AW12: Raf Simons Debuts For Christian Dior

DiorCouture4 Paris Couture AW12: Raf Simons Debuts For Christian Dior %tag

There was a lot of anticipation surrounding Raf Simons’ debut collection for Christian Dior, hardly surprising with all the rumours on who would get the head designer job after Galliano, and because of the circumstances in which Galliano left, and whether Simons minimalist and linear style would work at Dior, especially for couture.

Can you imagine being under that much pressure? No matter how dazzling this collection was, and it was gorgeous, refined and romantic, the comparisons to Galliano and his theatrical approach were always going to come, my opinion is that Simons has adapted to Dior brilliantly and he showcased the clothes and not the drama yesterday, and it totally worked.

Another comparison that was inevitable was comparing the collection to his previous work at Jil Sander, which I think shined through in his signature minimal silhouettes, and especially that red cashmere coat. But this wasn’t a bad thing I liked the combination of the homage to Dior’s past with the florals, the romance, the nipped in waists and full skirts, they mixed in beautifully with his minimal silhouettes. For me this felt like a whole new start for Dior, and left me wanting more, as well as being excited for the ready-to-wear collection in September.

I have to admit I was completely blown away by the setting, did you see the floor-to-ceiling blooms it looked incredible, I just wish I was in Paris to smell them!!! I loved the start with the chic tuxedo, and the beautiful very Dior a-line dresses, and of course the princess tulle dresses towards the end that I am sure will come out for award season, but best of all I loved the combination of the cut-off-ball gowns with the cigarette pants – tres chic!!!

I wasn’t the only one to love the show, Diane von Furstenberg, who was among many designers on the front row tweeted last night:

Did you love this collection, I saw some tweets yesterday that it wasn’t ‘couture’ enough – what do you think?

Video Loving: Daphne Groeneveld Looks Stunning For Dior – With A Cat On Her Head!!!

DiorAddict3 Video Loving: Daphne Groeneveld Looks Stunning For Dior With A Cat On Her Head!!! %tag

Add Daphne Groeneveld, Stereo Total’s tune “I Love You, Ono”, lots of sun, plenty of dancing, and of course a cat and you seriously get a gorgeous beauty mini-film. That is exactly what Jonas Akerlund has done for Dior’s Addict perfume short and I adore it.

Trust me if you are in need of cheering up this film will do it, set in a gorgeous seaside town that looks like it has been specially painted in this season’s key pastel colours - not only is Daphne completely stunning soaking up the sun on the beach, playing dress-up behind a leopard-print screen, and doing the cha-cha, she also wears a cat on her head, yep you read that right!!!DiorAddict2 Video Loving: Daphne Groeneveld Looks Stunning For Dior With A Cat On Her Head!!! %tag

Daphne really does capture the art of seduction beautifully in this colourful film, but seriously, I need to ask who else could work a cat on her head and look this hot??? Very impressive, and if you don’t finish this film without smiling I have no clue what will make you happy.
