Met Gala 2012: Beyonce In Givenchy Haute Couture

Beyonce Met Gala 2012: Beyonce In Givenchy Haute Couture %tag

Who: Beyoncé

Where: At the Met Gala 2012 in New York

Wearing: A Givenchy Haute Couture gown by Riccardo Tisci, featuring a beaded corseted bodysuit with sheer fabric and a ombre black and purple cascading feathered train

Verdict: Wow, what a way to make your post-baby red carpet appearance by wearing a dramatic gown that leaves little to the imagination. It is such a shame that she was so late to the red carpet as I would have loved to have seen this gown in motion, but hey she wanted a dramatic entrance I am sure to show off her amazing body.

I like that the fact that she was daring with this gown, but there is something stopping me from loving it,  the train is insane but I can’t put my finger on why I am not feeling it, maybe it is a little more revealing than I would have wanted from her.

What do you think? Do you love this racy look from Beyoncé?

Met Gala 2012: Hottest Couple – Gisele and Tom Brady

gisele2 Met Gala 2012: Hottest Couple Gisele and Tom Brady %tag

There were a couple of trends at last night’s Met Gala, high shine shimmery gowns, pops of oranges and lemons, feathered beauties and then there were the classic black gowns from the likes of Rihanna, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Liv Tyler, and Mary-Kate Olsen, but one that stood out the most had to be Gisele’s Givenchy Haute Couture gown by Riccardo Tisci.

She has a head start on most on the red carpet with her model looks, incredibly long legs, which she worked in an Angelina Jolie kind of way, and then she has a hunky husband to accompany her, how is this fair???

There weren’t that many thigh-high splits last night, maybe they knew that they couldn’t compete with Gisele, but she really does look amazing in this sparkly gown.

Met Gala 2012: Coco Rocha Goes Vintage Givenchy

coco1 Met Gala 2012: Coco Rocha Goes Vintage Givenchy %tag

Who: Coco Rocha

Where: At the 2012 Met Gala in New York

Wearing: A vintage yellow and fuchsia Givenchy jumpsuit, paired with Sergio Rossi pink heels and a gold clutch

Verdict: Well Coco bought this vintage Givenchy beauty at auction and as it once belong to Elizabeth Taylor the biggest fashion event of the year was the perfect place to show it off. What I love about Coco is that she went all out for this look even dying her hair pink at the tips to make this one standout outfit.

I am not sure if it wows as much as all the gorgeous gowns, but I do appreciate it when people try different things on the red carpet.

Coco has tweeted that this jumpsuit is now going into storage, I suppose she is right where else could you wear something as bold as this?

84th Oscars: Rooney Mara In Givenchy Couture

RooneyGivenchy 84th Oscars: Rooney Mara In Givenchy Couture %tag

Who: Rooney Mara

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

Wearing: A a panelled cream coloured Givenchy couture gown with mixed laces with multi-layered chiffon lining

Verdict: The buzz about Twitter before I had even seen a picture of Rooney was that she wasn’t wearing black, I think that kind of says how much she wears black. OK so cream isn’t quite a stretch in the colourful department, but it is a start, no matter what colour she wears though she always looks stunning. I can’t believe that she only picked out this gorgeous gown this morning – crazy – but with a figure like hers I am sure she can fit into anything.

Superbowl: Madonna In Givenchy Haute Couture

madonnagivenchy8 Superbowl: Madonna In Givenchy Haute Couture %tag

Madonna really knows how to make an entrance, I absolutely loved her halftime show at the Super Bowl XLVI match between the New York Giants and The Patriots last night. From the word go with her coming on flanked by dancers dressed as gladiators, to the fab performance of ‘Vogue’ – and her amazing wardrobe created exclusively for her by Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci – this was a spectacular 12 minute set.

As well as ‘Vogue’, Madonna also delved into her massive archive and sang some of her other hits including ‘Music’ and ‘Like a Prayer’, as well as her new song ‘Give Me All Your Lurvin’, which I have to say isn’t growing on me – yet.

Some people on Twitter were saying that she looked tired and didn’t move great – come on people let’s not forget she is 53-years-old – I thought she worked the performance really well – especially loved her shuffling with LMFAO.

My favourite of the Givenchy Haute Couture looks by Riccardo Tisci had to be the hand-embroidered gold cape that Madonna wore for the performance opener, which was worn over a black mini dress accessories with a hand-studded belt and an exquisite Philip Treacy headpiece.

I also adored this gorgeous embellished black coat with sequins and micro pearls for her divine performance of ‘Like A Prayer’.

SAG Awards: Zoe Saldana In Givenchy Haute Couture

zoesaldanagivenchy SAG Awards: Zoe Saldana In Givenchy Haute Couture %tag

Who: Actress Zoe Saldana

Where: At the 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles

Wearing: A white silk organza Givenchy Haute Couture gown with a drop-waist and embroidered crystals from the spring/summer 2012 collection, finished off with Tiffany’s Novo diamond drop earrings

Verdict: Ooh I loved Riccardo Tisci’s Haute Couture collection when it showed last week, and I love it even more that a piece has already hit the red carpet, and I am so glad that Zoe Saldana wore it as she is a knock out in this gown. Winter whites were definitely a trend at last night’s award ceremony and this shimmering gown was one of my favourites.

There is an elegance about this gown that is just perfection, I am so glad that it was teamed with minimal jewellery and that Zoe wore her hair up – she really is a classic beauty in this dress.

Couture Spring 2012: Back To The 20s With Givenchy

GIVENCHYfront Couture Spring 2012: Back To The 20s With Givenchy %tag

If you are after drama and exquisite detailing from Paris Couture Fashion Week then you don’t have to look further than Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy. Once again, his Givenchy couture offering was divine, with the Art Deco era of the Twenties and Thirties a key influence in the collection.

There may only be 10-pieces, but each floor-length gown has a feminine appeal, with geometric embroidery, crystal embellishments and fringed detailing in a colour palette of black, white, brown, cream and bronze – all presented with the most opulent of jewellery and elbow-length gloves.

Of course I can’t look at Couture without thinking Oscars and these three are my top picks. I am going for Rooney Mara choosing the black number, minus the jacket, but hoping that she pairs it with some of the jewellery from the collection. I also loved the white and bronze dresses as well. I think the halterneck bronze design is the most likely to go from runway to red carpet.

I also love the basketball court setting – it really made the dresses look incredible and if possible more feminine. Loved the collection.
