Jack Reacher: Rosamund Pike In Alexander McQueen and Erdem

Rosamund Pike has been flying the flag for British-based designers in Japan this week for the latest leg of the Jack Reacher promo tour, looking stunning in looks from Alexander McQueen and Erdem.

First look was this adorable ivory crepe wool pop mini-dress by Alexander McQueen from the autumn/winter 2012 collection, teamed with black leopard print heels to the Jack Reacher press conference.

Not only does the dress look incredible on her, white is hard to pull off even for a celebrity, but I love the playfulness of the bubble skirt. In the lookbook this dress is presented with a gorgeous belt and I wish she had worn it to show off the amazing silhouette of the dress, but that is just me being picky – I also love her heels.

Then at the Japan premiere she continued her love for London-based designers with this very summery one-sleeve look from Erdem’s spring/summer 2013 collection. There is always something so feminine about Erdem’s designs that I love and it really shows in this one-sleeved lemon dress with a gorgeous embellished illusion panel across the shoulder.

Not only is the dress divine but once again Rosamund has gone for a striking pair of shoes, this time by Elie Saab – those pinky heels work perfectly with the lemon and really does complete a gorgeous premiere look.

What do you think of Rosamund’s unofficial ambassador role for British-based designers?

Toronto Film Festival: Keira Knightley Dazzles In Elie Saab

KeiraElieSaab Toronto Film Festival: Keira Knightley Dazzles In Elie Saab %tagWho: Keira Knightley

Where: At the ‘Anna Karenina’ Premiere at the 2012 Toronto Film Festival

Wearing: A black short-sleeved embellished lace Elie Saab couture gown from the autumn/winter 2012 collection

Verdict: This is another breath-taking look from Keira, I have to be honest I wasn’t too fussed about Keira before but the incredible Chanel couture gown made me take notice and this is another exquisite choice.

One thing you can always rely on with Elie Saab is pure elegance, and even though this dress is very sheer, it is perfection and doesn’t overpower the gown – Keira really does look divine.

If Keira keeps this up I am definitely going to overdoing my use of the word ‘flawless’ – but come on who can blame me she really doesn’t look gorgeous.

Do you prefer her Elie Saab gown over her embellished Chanel couture look from last week?

MTV VMAs: Katy Perry In Vintage Elie Saab

KatyPerryElieSaab MTV VMAs: Katy Perry In Vintage Elie Saab %tag

Who: Katy Perry

Where: At the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards

Wearing: A vintage Elie Saab Haute Couture gown from the autumn/winter 2004 collection; the black gown featured sequinned floral embroidery in teal and fuchsia, and the black leather bodice was finished off with a bow accent

Verdict: I love, love, love Elie Saab and this is why, this dress is from the 2004 collection but totally fits the current romantic Gothic trend that is everywhere for autumn/winter, and Katy Perry looks incredible in it.

Last year, Katy was playful in a geisha style Atelier Versace mini dress, but this year she really did bring the glamour and I love this couture gown on her. Everything from the exquisite dress to her dark wavy locks and her flawless make-up makes this one of the best red carpets I have seen from Katy Perry.

I also love that even with her glamorous look Katy knows how to show off her quirky personality, just check out her very cool floral manicure, which featured sparkling crosses – now that is nail art!!!

What do you think of Katy’s look at last night’s MTV VMAs?

Total Recall: Jessica Biel In Elie Saab Couture

JessicaBielElieSaab Total Recall: Jessica Biel In Elie Saab Couture %tag

Who: Actress Jessica Biel

Where: At the New York screening of ‘Total Recall’ hosted by InStyle

Wearing: A white lace sleeveless cocktail Elie Saab dress teamed with a matching lace shawl from the spring/summer 2012 haute couture collection, finished off with an Elie Saab textured gold clutch from the Resort 2013 collection, Lorraine Schwartz diamond earrings and Jimmy Choo heels

Verdict: It seems that the Total Recall promotional tour is going to be all about Couture, for the Hollywood premiere Jessica Biel faced off in Dior Couture and her co-star Kate Beckinsale went with Armani Prive, and now it seems is the turn of Elie Saab Couture.

What I do love about this look is the gorgeous lace dress, which seemed to have extra lining from the one seen on the runway, I just not sure I am loving the combination of the shawl – for me it doesn’t add anything to this look. All she needed to accessories this incredible cocktail dress is this exquisite clutch which I completely adore – the detailing in the beaded construction of the miniaudière is just divine.

Seeing Jessica looking so beautiful in white makes me wonder whether she has spoken to Elie Saab for her wedding gown – now that would be one to see!!!

Do you love this ethereal look from Jessica?

People Like Us: Elizabeth Banks Sparkles In Elie Saab

EBanksElieSaab People Like Us: Elizabeth Banks Sparkles In Elie Saab %tag

Who: Elizabeth Banks 

Where: At the screening of “People Like Us” in New York City

Wearing: A nude, fully embroidered Elie Saab halterneck cocktail dress, with an open back, from the autumn/winter 2012 ready-to-wear collection, teamed with Pierre Hardy strappy heels, an Edie Parker clutch, and jewellery by Cartier

Verdict: This her second look from the Elie Saab autumn/winter 2012 collection, I loved her jumpsuit that she wore to the MTV Movie Awards, but this cocktail dress is just flawless. I love the halterneck style on Elizabeth, but what makes this fully embellished dress shine for me has to be the glittering metallic ombré effect – simply gorgeous.

I love that she didn’t do too much with her accessories both the clutch and heels matched perfectly, I especially love the triple gold and nude strap heels by Pierre Hardy.

As always I am blown away by Elizabeth from head-to-toe, her dress is divine, her accessories are perfection, and her make-up and hair is flawless. LOVE it all.

The Amazing Spider-Man: Emma Stone In Elie Saab

EmmaStoneElieSaab The Amazing Spider Man: Emma Stone In Elie Saab %tag

Who: Emma Stone

Where: At the UK premiere of her new film The Amazing Spider-Man at the Odeon Leicester Square, London

Wearing: A black long-sleeve Elie Saab jumpsuit, with a sequinned embroidered v-neck bodice, wide leg tuxedo-style trousers from the autumn/winter 2012 collection, teamed with a black belt with a gold buckle, and black pointed toe heels

Verdict: If you didn’t love Emma Stone before I think you will after seeing her in this divine Elie Saab jumpsuit. As soon as I saw her in this glittery-yet-masculine jumpsuit I actually oohed that it is how gorgeous this look is.

Elie Saab is really having a jumpsuit moment, I adored the one that Elizabeth Banks wore to the MTV Movie Awards, it had a more feminine look than Emma’s but just as gorgeous. But I think it will be hard for anyone to work an Elie Saab jumpsuit better than Rose Byrne who rocked a full-embellished white number to the SAG Awards. Seriously hot!!!

I love everything about Emma’s look from the glittery jumpsuit, to the masculine tuxedo pants, the cinched-in waist, to her simple-yet-chic straight hair and smoky eyes.

Do you love Emma’s red carpet look as much as I do?

Pre-Fall 2012: Elie Saab’s Balada A Paris Short Film

eliesaab Pre Fall 2012: Elie Saab’s Balada A Paris Short Film %tag

I love a fashion film, I love gorgeous sequinned gowns, add Paris and Elie Saab into the mix and I am seriously in love!!!

Known for chic evening gowns worthy only for the red carpet and major award shows Elie Saab has produced an elegant film, Balade a Paris to showcase the pre-fall 2012 collection, which has just hit stores.

This film walks in the footsteps of the Elie Saab woman taking in her endless elegance from day to night, and brings with it all the glamour and exquisite craftsmanship that Elie Saab is known for. What I adore about this short film has to be the close-ups of the dress details showing off the designers use of beads, sequins, lace and cut-outs, especially the gorgeous red-sequinned gown.

I just love the intimate feel of the film, that it has totally made me want more and I can’t wait to see some of this looks hitting the red carpet.
