Venice Film Festival: Selena Gomez In Atelier Versace

SelenaGomezVersace Venice Film Festival: Selena Gomez In Atelier Versace %tagWho: Selena Gomez

Where: At the premiere for her new film Spring Breakers at the 69th Annual Venice Film Festival

Wearing: A strapless pale pink leather Atelier Versace gown from the autumn/winter 2011 collection, featuring a stencil design and a dramatic draping that gathered at her hip and then cascaded down her skirt to the side, teamed with a Judith Leiber minaudière and Lorraine Schwartz jewellery

Verdict: On paper, this dress should have been worn by a red carpet big-hitter like Kate Hudson, Diane Kruger, or Penelope Cruz, but some how Selena really makes this exquisite gown work for her.

Last year she was a Disney starlet, cute, adorable but still very much a teenager, this year she really has stepped it up, hitting twenty has turned her into a screen siren in the making for me. I loved her sexy Roberto Cavalli mini she wore the MuchMusic Video Awards, I had serious leg envy when she worked a Versace look to launch her fragrance, but what really made her stand-out for me this year had to be her high-fashion editorial for the July issue of American ELLE – it really showed off her sexy side.

Like with newcomer Maika Monroe who wowed last week in Marchesa, Selena came to Venice and completely stole the show. I love the blush-toned colour of the gown, I love the drama of the side draping, I totally adore her side-swept tousled waves, and I really don’t think her first major appearance at the Venice Film Festival could have gone much better!!!

Do you rate Selena’s look or do you think this dress is a little too mature for her?

Venice Film Festival: Freida Pinto Wears Alexander McQueen and Jaeger-LeCoultre

FreidaJaeger1 Venice Film Festival: Freida Pinto Wears Alexander McQueen and Jaeger LeCoultre %tag

Who: Actress Freida Pinto

Where: At a gala dinner hosted by Jaeger-LeCoultre celebrating The Rendez-Vous Collection at Giustinian Palace in Venice during the 69th Venice Film Festival

Wearing: A black and gold printed Alexander McQueen gown with cut-out panelling to her midriff and an open back from the Resort 2013 collection, teamed with a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch

Verdict: I am loving Freida lately, it all started with Cannes this year where she was a little more sexy and daring with her red carpet choices, and once again I love the choice of this Alexander McQueen gown. I love the colour combination of the gold print on the black, the midriff-baring panel just shows off her incredible figure, and I love the train at the back.

Overall, for me this look is edgy and different, I am sure some won’t like the print, I love that the print gets bigger towards the floor it is like an optical illusion. I would however loved her to wear some more jewellery, I get that the gala was for the watch, but a gold cuff, drop earrings would have complemented this look well.

What do you think of Freida’s look – do you like this print on her?

Gucci Premiere Launch: Blake Lively Shimmers In Gucci

GucciPremiereBlakeLively1 Gucci Premiere Launch: Blake Lively Shimmers In Gucci %tag

Who: Blake Lively, the face of Gucci’s new fragrance Gucci Premiere

Where: At the unveiling of the Director’s Cut of the Gucci Premiere film held at the Hotel Cipriani during the 2012 Venice International Film Festival

Wearing: A one-of-a-kind burgundy sleeveless deep v-neck, fully embroidered Gucci cocktail dress featuring raised flower detailing around the neckline, teamed with burgundy python Gucci Kinga Spike high heels, and pink gold and black diamond bracelet and ring finished off her look

Verdict: Well it was a given that Blake would wear Gucci, but what did surprise me was the colour, I love this deep wine shade on her, and I was expecting a gown that skimmed the floor, but I suppose considering she made her entrance on a boat it is hardly surprising that she chose to go short.

Blake looked absolutely incredible, everything from the shade to the high-glitz of the fully embroidered overlapping palettes, to her flawless make-up and messy updo, I love this look from head-to-toe. It may not have been what I was expecting but I love that it wasn’t girlie, this cocktail dress is edgy and it suits her.

I also had to include the picture of Blake with Frida Giannini, as I just adore Frida’s grey silk crepe Gucci cocktail dress with Art Deco-inspired beaded – the silhouette is divine.

What do you think of Blake’s look? Was you expecting something different?

Check out the Nicolas Winding Refn’s director’s cut of the Gucci Premiere film below – I loved the commercial version but this is just exquisite, I especially like the soundtrack.

Venice Film Festival: Salma Hayek In Gucci

SalmaHayekGucci Venice Film Festival: Salma Hayek In Gucci %tag

Who: Salma Hayek

Where: At the second annual Gucci for Women in Cinema Award held during Venice Film Festival

Wearing: A floor-skimming black Gucci gown with sequinned embroidery detailing to the shoulders that goes down the front to her hip, as well as Salma’s trademark plunging neckline, teamed with a beaded clutch and drop earrings

Verdict: When it comes to red carpet glamour Salma seems to be an unofficial ambassador for Gucci, she always chooses them for her big moments whether it is at Cannes, the Golden Globes or in Venice, and I am not surprised when they make her look as smoking as this!!!

This is a classic dress that is made for her sexy body, shows off her assets perfectly, while still looking elegant with the embroidered detailing.

Granted this is nothing new from Salma but all the same it still looks gorgeous.

Venice Film Festival: Maika Monroe Wows In Marchesa

MaikaMonroeMarchesa1 Venice Film Festival: Maika Monroe Wows In Marchesa %tag

Who: Professional kite boarder-turned-actress Maika Monroe

Where: At the Lancia Cafe ‘At Any Price’ Cocktail Party during the 69th Venice International Film Festival

Wearing: A white short sleeve, sequinned and feathered embroidered Marchesa gown featuring a chiffon trumpet skirt, a plunging neckline and an open back from the autumn/winter 2012 collection, teamed with diamond drop earrings

Verdict: Wow, what a way to make an entrance onto the red carpet circuit by wearing a show-stopping Marchesa gown. I have to admit I had to google Maika as I hadn’t heard of her before, but with her starring opposite Zac Efron in her first feature film, I think we will be seeing a lot more of her.

This gown instantly hit me as it kind of reminded me of the short red Marchesa that Jennifer Lawrence wore for her Hunger Games promo as well as the Marchesa gown Fergie wore to the Met Gala last year, but I have to give it to Maika as she really pulled off this eye-catching frothy gown.

Everything about this look shouts star in the making and I love that she makes this dress youthful. Sometimes feathered embroidery and frothy chiffon can age the wearer, but not for Maika. I think the clever styling keeps her looking fresh – I love the messy side gathered plait, her barley-there make-up, and the dark nail varnish adds personality. I really do love this look from head-to-toe!!!

I will definitely be keeping an eye out for Maika Monroe on the red carpet in the future – this debut appearance has really impressed me, I think it is because she has a Kate Hudson/Blake Lively quality about her – strikingly gorgeous.

What do you think of this Marchesa gown on Maika?

Venice Film Festival: Winona Ryder Wears Dolce & Gabbana

WinonaRyderDolceGabbana1 Venice Film Festival: Winona Ryder Wears Dolce & Gabbana %tagWho: Winona Ryder

Where: At the Premiere of ‘The Iceman’ during the 69th Annual Venice International Film Festival

Wearing: A strapless black lace embroidered Dolce & Gabbana gown, teamed with diamond drop earrings and an elegant satin clutch

Verdict: Back in the 90s I loved seeing Winona’s style on and off the red carpet, she was a paparazzi favourite due to her relationship with Johnny Depp, but lately she has stepped away from the spotlight and it showed in her face, she looks petrified.

I don’t know why as this classic gown is absolutely stunning on her, fits her perfectly and I adore that she didn’t go crazy with the styling.

What do you think – do you like Winona’s gown?

Venice Film Festival: Kate Hudson Shimmers In Atelier Versace

VeniceKateHudson Venice Film Festival: Kate Hudson Shimmers In Atelier Versace %tag

Who: Kate Hudson

Where: At the Venice Film Festival opening ceremony

Wearing: A one-strap nude-toned fully beaded Atelier Versace gown from the autumn/winter 2012 collection, teamed with a gold clutch and Fabergé jewellery

Verdict: This is the first look from Atelier Versace autumn/winter 2012 collection to hit the red carpet and Kate has blown me away. I knew she would when I saw she was down to attend the Venice Film Festival – but I didn’t know that she would look as good as this.

This is one gorgeous gown and Kate looks incredible – her body, her chic updo, her make-up, her simple but dazzling jewellery – everything about this look is perfection.

Kate might not have been a regular on the red carpet this year but she seriously always gets it right for me. What do you think of Kate’s look?
