Oscars 2013: Kerry Washington In Miu Miu

Who: Kerry Washington

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

Wearing: A coral Miu Miu gown with a nude tulle bustier embellished with paillettes and crystals, accessorised with a Prada clutch, a Fred Leighton ring, Chopard earrings, and Christian Louboutin heels

Verdict: This custom-made Miu Miu gown literally sparkled on the red carpet and stood out as until Kerry Washington had arrived everyone was in a nude, pale colour and this coral number really did cheer me up.

This dress is cute, I love the bow detailing, I love the sparkles of the embellished bodice, and I love the sweet colour – I also love the colour-matching accessories of the clutch and heels.

The only thing I am missing are her bangs that she had yesterday at the Spirit Awards.

Critics’ Choice Movie Awards: Emily Blunt In Miu Miu

Critics’ Choice Movie Awards: Emily Blunt In Miu Miu %tag
Who: Emily Blunt, who lost out to Jennifer Lawrence in the Best Actress in an Action Film category

Where: At the 18th Critics’ Choice Movie Awards held in Santa Monica, California

Wearing: A white Miu Miu dress that fell at the ankles featuring a crystal-embellished neckline and cross-back straps, teamed with a gold box clutch and Prada metallic heels

Verdict: Known for her simple-yet-stunning looks on the red carpet, do you remember that vibrant Alexander McQueen last year, well this another gorgeous dress that is made into a show-stopping number as soon as you see the back, like with Jessica Chastain’s Prada gown.

I love that this dress fell at her ankle as it added a different dimension to the gown and stood out on the red carpet, plus it totally worked perfectly with her Old Hollywood glamour with her striking lippy and pin curls.

Like the dress Emily is simply gorgeous.

Giffoni Film Festival: Dianna Agron In Prada and Glittery Miu Miu Shades

Who: Glee star Dianna Agron

Where: At the 2012 Giffoni Film Festival in Giffoni Valle Piana, Italy

Wearing: A printed Prada dress from the spring/summer 2012 collection, Miu Miu Noir glittery sunglasses, and thong flats with red stones finished off her look

Verdict: So, now I know why Miss Dianna wasn’t at the Teen Choice Awards as she was enjoying the sunshine in Italy. At first glance I was worried that it was a little too relaxed for a film festival, I was thinking about the glamour of say Cannes, but I think she actually pulled this cute dress off really well – the bold print was a great touch.

But what draws my attention the most with this look has to be those incredible red glittery cat-eye shades, I seriously swooned when I saw them on her. I am a sunglasses addict and I am in love with these beauties.

What makes this even more perfect has to be the fact that they available on Net-a-Porter, so if you want to recreate Dianna’s look during our mini heatwave you can snap them up, granted they are £225, tad pricey, but just think how pretty they will look!!! Pairing with a bold printed dress is optional – but it works rather well.

Do you love Dianna’s look or do you wish she had gone a more glam? And tell me what you think of the Miu Miu shades – will you be snapping them up?

AW12 Campaign: Chloe Sevigny Returns For Miu Miu

Miu Miu have taken a trip back in time and recruited a former face actress and style icon Chloe Sevigny to front their autumn/winter 2012 collection and it seems they’ve taken inspiration from British pop star David Bowie from the ’70s.

Shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, I like this campaign, the quirky pose, the OTT make-up, the very bright and funky printed trousers, and most of all her sipping tea, very Lady Gaga!!!

We should have known that Chloe was planning to reprise her roll for Miu Miu after she wore the brand to the Met Gala, I can only think that a lucrative contract was the reason behind her wearing this barely there ’60s-inspired black mirrored geometric patchwork mini-dress, granted it makes her standout and suits her out-there personality, but I just didn’t feel this look.

But with Chloe returning to the Miu Miu fold it made me nostalgic for previous celebrity faces and who else I would love to see come back, and top of my list had to be Katie Holmes do you remember her fiery campaign in 2009 also shot by Mert & Marcus, now that would be a great way to come out on top from a divorce!!!

What do you think of Chloe’s Miu Miu ad? And, would you want to see Katie Holmes back as a Miu Miu face?

Cover Loving: The Prada Bodysuit Gets Another Cover

It seems that Miu Miu’s older sister, Prada has taken back the cover spot this season with its swimsuit-come-bodysuit from its spring/summer 2012 collection. This vintage-inspired bodysuit is gorgeous and definitely made an impact on the catwalk and so far it has bagged a lot of covers around the world including two covers with Victoria Beckham on Harper’s Bazaar UK and Le Figaro.

We’ve also seen Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence showing off her curves in it for Glamour UK, Lara Mullen also worked the brocade version for Dazed & Confused, Harper’s Bazaar Spain styled Jessica Stam in it, and even Vogue Paris, ELLE China, and British GQ got in on the action.

Now it seems another Harper’s Bazaar title, this time Singapore has the swimsuit on its May cover, teamed with a pin-up Fifties hair this is another great cover – I love the diamanté flower belt. But is anyone else thinking that Harper’s got together on a global Skype call and decided that Miuccia’s retro vibe was the breakout star of the season and called in all the pieces?

I find it interesting that with all the collections out there that there are still some pieces that get numerous covers – is it a lack of imagination in magazine styling or just that these pieces are so good that everyone wants a piece of them?

Cover Loving: Crystal Renn For Vogue Mexico

Wow, what a great cover of Crystal Renn for Vogue Mexico, this has definitely added this Latin magazine to my huge stack of international mags. Not only is the cover striking, don’t you think it radiates heat?

Am I being silly because as all it has done here in the UK is rain – but don’t you think the combination of that vibrant Salvatore Ferragamo printed dress from the spring/summer 2012 collection, teamed with the bold accessories and her fabulous pose makes this one hot cover?

Snapped by Nagi Sakai, the accompanying editorial is just as strong as the cover, I am loving all the Prada, Miu Miu, and Dolce & Gabbana – the styling from Sarah Gore-Reeves is exquisite.

The one thing I am worried about is that everyone will just be talking about how slim Crystal has gotten rather than what an absolutely fantastic model she is – I can’t imagine anyone not loving this editorial spread I am in need of some sun after looking at it!!!

Do you think Crystal wore this Prada playsuit better than Jennifer Lawrence who wore it on the cover of Glamour recently?

Miu Miu Front Row: Katy Perry Head-to-Toe In Prada

Who: Katy Perry

Where: At the Miu Miu autumn/winter 2012 catwalk show in Paris

Wearing: Head-to-toe Prada in a giada raso coat, worn over a flames-motif printed pink chiffon pleated dress, and paired with the Saffiano lux Pyramide bag with studs and patent leather flame sandals

Verdict: I love everything about Katy Perry’s look from the neck down, seriously her choice of quirky accessories is amazing – I am in love with that studded bag as well as the incredible flame heels. But what I am not loving is her hair, I get it so she is wearing blue so she has to pair her hair, but come on you seriously don’t!!!

I am glad that Katy has immersed herself in Paris Fashion Week and seems to be getting over her split from Russell Brand but I would also love to see a new hair-do.

Miu Miu had one of the most stylish front rows at Paris Fashion Week for me including Harry Potter’s Bonnie Wright, singer Florrie Arnold, and Mia Wasikowska, as well as Kate Mara, Corrine Bailey Rae, and Downton Abbey’s Michelle Dockery, but my favourite looks are these from Bonnie, Florrie and Mia all in Miu Miu looks.

Bonnie is stunning in this black cady sleeveless top and alluminio grey plissé lace skirt from the Miu Miu spring/summer 2012 collection, but what caught my eye on her look had to be the Miu Miu yellow silk jewel bag – pops nicely against the lace skirt.

Florrie, who I have to admit I don’t know that much about really impressed me in these Miu Miu pink daisy print cady pants, they look good with the white caplet and cotton shirt. But again her accessories floored me with gorgeous pink madras bag – HOT!!!

Last but not least is Miu Miu’s current face Mia Wasikowska in a reserved but chic look wearing Miu Miu autumn/winter 2012 in a bi-colour organzino dress with orchidea pink top and black cady armuré flared skirt. The only thing I would change from this demure look would have been the nude patent leather pumps, I just think a vibrant pink or clashing colour would have worked perfectly.
