Oscars 2013: Naomi Watts In Giorgio Armani

Oscars naomi watts armani Oscars 2013: Naomi Watts In Giorgio Armani %tagWho: Nominated actress Naomi Watts

Where: At the 85th Annual Academy awards held in Los Angeles

Wearing: A custom Giorgio Armani gown fully enveloped in layered gunmetal grey sequins, teamed with Jimmy Choo heels and diamond jewellery

Verdict: It’s the gowns with something a little different that caught my eye on a mainly safe red carpet at last night’s Oscars, and this Giorgio Armani was a stand-out piece. Naomi Watts always has an elegance about her, she can pull off literally any look and this slinky gown looked incredible on her.

What I love, other than the gunmetal colour, which literally shimmered on camera, was the one-shoulder, off-center cut-out design along the bust-line. When she first stepped out on the red carpet I literally held my breathe as this gown took a risk that paid off and I loved it.

Finishing off her sequinned look was minimal styling, which seemed to be a big theme of the night, she just added diamond drop earrings, a diamond bracelet and a cocktail ring, and one of the best hairstyles of the night, a messy up-do. For me this is not only one of the best looks of the night but one of Naomi’s best ever looks!!!

Oscars 2013: Jessica Chastain In Giorgio Armani

Oscars jessica chastain Oscars 2013: Jessica Chastain In Giorgio Armani %tagWho: Jessica Chastain

Where: At the 85th Annual Academy awards held in Los Angeles

Wearing: A strapless copper-tone custom Giorgio Armani silk satin gown covered in sequins, teamed with vintage Harry Winston diamond earrings and gold bracelet from the 1960s

Verdict: This is Old Hollywood movie star wow that the Oscars is all about. I love everything from the sweetheart neckline to the colour, which shouldn’t but does work against her red locks and pale skin, to the incredible exquisite sequin detailing and the gorgeous silhouette.

One of the first to hit the red carpet, Jessica really did make an impression with this gown that made everyone up their game!!!

As well as loving her gown, her jewellery was also perfection, in her interview on the red carpet she said that the bracelet was from the 1960s and it really did accessory the gown well. I also thought her side swept curls and her bold lippy just oozed glamour – great job Jessica!!!

The Perk Of Being A Wallflower: Emma Watson Shimmers In Giorgio Armani

EmmaWatsonArmani The Perk Of Being A Wallflower: Emma Watson Shimmers In Giorgio Armani %tagWho: Emma Watson

Where: At the LA premiere of her latest movie ‘The Perk Of Being A Wallflower’

Wearing: A pale yellow lace Giorgio Armani gown, featuring long layers and scattered beading, accessorised with gold sandals

Verdict: This look from Emma Watson really made me think today, I have been pondering all afternoon whether I liked this look or not, and I think I am swaying to liking it. At first I was a little unsure because it didn’t wow me, it is very understated, but then I looked a little closer and the tiered sheer layers scattered with beads really is divine.

Emma is very petite and I think the floaty frock wears her rather than the other way round, but the look really is helped by the gorgeous shape showing off her neckline, the open back that adds a touch of glamour, and most of all the statement lippy and slicked back hair – the edgy styling really works with this gown for me.

I think this dress will have some people sold instantly, others it will be a grower and some will just dislike, which fence are you on?

Channing was joined by his co-star Matthew McConaughey who was looking just as dapper in a Dolce & Gabbana checkered grey suit, styled with a very smart light-blue shirt and a maroon tie. HOT!!!

I am not sure who looks more dashing – but I am loving their coordination.

So will you be heading out this weekend to see Magic Mike? I can tell you I will be at a showing tomorrow and I seriously can’t wait.

Cover Loving: Kristen Stewart For Vanity Fair

VanityFairJuly2012 Cover Loving: Kristen Stewart For Vanity Fair %tag

Finally a Kristen Stewart cover that I can love. This is her first solo cover for Vanity Fair and it is a blinder, I am loving the uber-glam Kristen in that gorgeous Giorgio Armani Privé gown, she looks incredible and for the first time she actually looks relaxed. I have to ask was the Pomeranian dog really needed?

Shot by Mario Testino in Paris there is a gorgeous high fashion editorial accompanying this stunning cover, from Kristen wearing haute couture to the ballet, posing with the striking dancer Jérémie Bélingard **check out his incredible eyes, dreamy** in a Jean Gaultier corset, and of course the jewellery is well represented with gorgeous Fabergé diamonds and emeralds.

Maybe it is the Paris backdrop, of the incredible couture designs, but come on have you ever seen Kristen look so good in a magazine before?

Born This Way: Giorgio Armani Designs For Lady Gaga

look03 Born This Way: Giorgio Armani Designs For Lady Gaga %tag

Lady Gaga is known for wearing outrageous outfits, do you remember that Versace cage that she wore and that Charlie Le Mindu look made of hair? Well for the Asian leg of her Born this Way tour she will be wearing these amazing custom-designed Giorgio Armani looks.

Of course it wouldn’t be very Lady Gaga if the outfits weren’t a little out or should I say a lot out there and I am loving these futuristic looks, featuring everything from latex to metal, studs, mirrored embellishments and even PVC, which isn’t the fabric that you think of when thinking of Armani.

My favourite design has to be the top sketch where the black bodice is embellished with transparent Plexiglas, black crystals and luminous  studs  to create  a Cubist composition of abstract guitars. Seriously insane, and it even has a matching  headpiece in the shape of a keyboard – it really does scream only Lady Gaga it is amazing.

The second look features a shiny black grid-patterned PVC bodice with point structure shoulders embellished with sharp spikes,  black Swarovski jet crystals and flowing fringe.look01 Born This Way: Giorgio Armani Designs For Lady Gaga %tag

For her third look, I am feeling like this outfit is becoming Gaga’s signature look, a PVC bodice teamed with lots of studs, mirrored embellishments, and of course finished off with a statement headpiece and thigh-high boots. Simply divine!!

The  final  design, below is the most covered up of the lot, but still a little on the weird side with a long tunic with leg-o-mutton sleeves made of skin-toned  latex, and apparently the PVC elements create flashes of synthetic light  inside  the garment, and do you think a beam of light will be coming out of that triangle on her chest?

“Collaborating with Lady Gaga is always an exciting experience for me. I  admire  the way she uses fashion as a scenic element and as a means to  build a character,” says Giorgio Armani. “She is an artist of many talents  and great intelligence.  Creating stage costumes for her is a stimulating and creative exercise.”

Which is your favourite look?

84th Oscars: Penelope Cruz in Giorgio Armani

PenelopeCruz 84th Oscars: Penelope Cruz in Giorgio Armani %tag

Who: Penelope Cruz

Where: At the 84th Academy Awards held at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles

Wearing: An off-the-shoulder blue-grey Giorgio Armani organza gown, with fitted bodice, fabric that cascades into gathered pleats, teamed with Chopard jewel necklace, earrings and bracelet

Verdict: This is a classic gown, perfect for the Oscars, and the ethereal look is fabulous on her. The colour is a little different for her, and I adore her Grace Kelly make-up, hair and jewellery. Overall, this is a gorgeous look from Penelope and took me a little by surprise, which is always nice, I was expecting a full on sex-kitten look from her in a sparkly form-fitted gown. I like Penelope all demure, she has an old-Hollywood feel about her.
