Diane Kruger Owns The Cannes Festival

Every year Cannes comes around and Diane Kruger rules the red carpets. She stuns. Something about her style is just so effortless yet glamorous. Can you believe she is her own stylest? She defiantly gets extra points for that!

Here is Diane at the film festival Jury Photo Call wearing a Versus’ dress and Jimmy Choo shoes.

Dianne takes over the Cannes Opening Ceremony! She is wearing a custom Giambattista Valli Haute Couture gown.

Brad Pitt To Be The Face of Chanel No. 5

How to you feel about this? I am feeling a bit mixed myself. I have nothing against Brad Pitt himself, but for Chanel to go SO commercial seems a little strange. Did you know this is the first time the French fashion house used a male to promote a female perfume? A little random right?

I also just miss having real models in ads and not celebrities taking over the pages of my fashion magazines. I don’t know about you, but remember when you didn’t associate a brand with a celebrity? Did that make you like the brand more or less? Did you actually create your own opinion about that brand? I find now brands choose celebrities too boost their profits and create a customer base they never had before. What customer is Brad Pitt going to gain for Chanel? Will Brad Pitt make you run out and buy some perfume? We can look forward to seeing Brad’s ad later in the year.

Best Dressed at the Met Gala 2012

January Jones in Versace

January was the best dressed of the night! She sunned in bright yellow!

Nina Dobrev in Donna Karan.

She came in a VERY close second. This dressed looked so beautiful on the red carpet. I watched the live feed and it was such an eye catcher!

Dianna Agron in Carolina Hererra.

I just love this color on her and I WANT her hair!

Katharine McPhee in Elie Saab.

What a pleasant surprise! Never seen Katharine look so great!

Camilla Belle in Ralph Lauren Collection.

She looked beautiful, classic and had great make-up!

Diane Kruger in Prada.

She’s always a favorite of mine, and love it or hate it I I thought she rocked this dress!

Carey Mulligan in Prada.

She always knows how to dress for her petite frame. I was hoping she’d appear with her new husband Marcus Mumford but no. :-(

Gisele Bundchen in Givency and her hubby Tom Brady in Tom Ford.

They were best dressed couple of the night!

Kate Winslet Stuns at the Premiere of Titanic 3D

As most of you know, I am a huge fan of Kate Winslet. She never disappoints. Kate always looks like a million bucks on the red carpet! Here she is at the premiere of Titanic 3D looking absolutely fabulous. (Seriously, how does she do it? She seems to be getting BETTER looking with age!)

Kate is wearing a Jenny Packham gown and Charles Goode for Goode & Son Jewelry.

Fashion Picks of the Week

Its Friday and I thought we’d take a peek at this weeks hottest fashion! Looking back at celebrity street style and red carpet fashion, which is your favorite ensemble of the week?

Tom Felton.

What a great edgy look for guys to try out! (**Tip: Don’t wear socks when your ankles are exposed!**)

Michelle Williams in Valentino.

She is positively glowing! Love this color on her.

January Jones in Jenny Packham.

Channeling a more 1960′s look, I am loving the ice blue on her and the pink streak in January’s hair!

Elizabeth Banks in Bill Blass and Jennifer Lawrence Ralph Lauren Collection.

The yellow is a fun bold choice for Elizabeth, and Jennifer is wearing the perfect dress to accentuate her small waist.

Liam and Chris Hemsworth.

Liam is classic with black and white, while Chris is a bit more casual with his suit. Chris has my personal favorite look of the week. Its versatile for all men. You can just modify it with jeans to make it a bit more casual, or dress it up with an unbuttoned white dress shirt.

Beyoncé with baby Blue.

Loving those sunglasses and flats Beyoncé is wearing! YES that’s Beyoncé in flats?!

Drew Barrymore with her finance.

Always a fan of Drew. Pretty sure I could make this outfit happen tomorrow, all I’d need to do is make a quick run to H & M for some teal pants!

Hit or Miss with Jennifer Morrison

Jennifer Morrison hit up the Paley Center For Media’s PaleyFest honoring her show Once Upon A Time wearing a menswear “inspired” tuxedo. What do you think of Jennifer’s menswear look? Can she pull it off?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Get The Look: Whitney Houston Style!

Always glamorous and full of sparkle, Whitney dazzled on every stage she preformed on! Lets take a look at some fashion inspired by one of the greatest voices of our time, Whitney Houston.

In honor of Whitney

There’s something about French Men…

…I don’t know what it is, but if you’ve seen the silent film The Artist, you will know what I am talking about. There is a certain charisma that French actor Jean Dujardin exudes off the screen. Something that not just any actor could pull off without speaking!

When I stumbled across these photos in this months GQ I had to share with you! Jean Dujardin to me seems like a more charming, dashing version of Jon Hamm. Maybe it’s the accent? Check out this great quote from his GQ interview; “I learned to tap-dance for The Artist. I love dancing in general, and making girls dance. My generation doesn’t do it enough.” YES! All men take note.

Enjoy the fashion in this photo spread. Lots of stylish plaid suits to come for spring/summer.


Notice, no socks? If you are wearing a light summer suit it is essential that you do not wear any socks! Which means you’d better be wearing some nicely kept leather loafers!

Plaid shirt with a plaid suit. This works because of the ratio the shirt to the suit. The shirt has more of a bold larger check, and the suit is subtle. The pocket square keeps it nice and classy, despite the lack of tie.

This is a bold look, you’d have to be very confidant to pull this one off! Reminds me of 1970′s James Bond. If you want to try this, avoid over referencing the 70′s by keeping your shoes modern and your lapel and shirt collar narrow.

Every guy should try this look. It’s a classic, and one of my personal favorites. You could wear this with dark jeans for a semi-casual look or wear the full suit to a wedding, without overdoing it. Notice the pocket square? I’m sensing the pocket square is the new tie.

If you haven’t seen it yet, here is the trailer for The Artist. (I recommend checking it out before The Oscar’s on Feb 26th, because its sure to win)

Best And Worst Dressed at the 2012 Golden Globes

The 69th Annual Golden Globes were on Sunday, and the red carpet fashion was quite tame this year. We saw lots of pale pinks and grey as well as a few peacock blues. Here are my votes for the best and worst dressed at the Golden Globes. The best dress are in order of my favorites. Take a look and tell me if I missed any of your favorites!

Best Dressed:

Nicole Kidman in Versace.

I can’t remember the last time she looked so amazing! She looks like a beautiful Greek statue! This shape is stunning on her, and it seems like she has stopped getting work done, which means we can see her smiling again!

Sophia Vergara in Vera Wang.

It’s not that different of a look for Sophia, but she knows what works for her curvy body type. I loved the colour and the close up red carpet shots, the bottom of the dressed looked really beautiful.

Reese Witherspoon in Zac Posen.

I don’t know what was but she was glowing last night! I’m not normally a huge fan of her on the red carpet but she looks absolutely stunning here. I especially love her make up, very subtle but enough to make an impact.

Claire Danes in J. Mendel.

She was one of the first people I saw on the red carpet and I instantly loved her dress. She always opts for something pretty classic, but the back adds an edgy twist.

Salma Hayek in Gucci.

I loved the close up shots of this dress. I liked that it was a bit different from most styles that were on the red carpet. Just when you think Salma couldn’t be more beautiful she knocks one out of the park!

Charlize Theron in Dior.

At first glance I wasn’t sure about this dress, but the more and more I saw it I grew to love it. I also loved her hair and make up. It completes the overall look perfectly.

Worst Dressed:

Most people on the red carpet played it pretty safe and looked beautiful, but unfortunately there was 2 people that didn’t quite do it for me. Here are my picks for worst dressed;

Zooey Deschanel in Prada.

I hate to say this, because I am a huge fan of Zooey’s but this dress was not flattering on her petite frame, and her hair…yikes. You can’t really tell in this photo, but in some angles, one of her layers looked like side burns…not a look you want to go for. On a brighter note, her make up looked amazing!

Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace.

When she first hit the red carpet I didn’t mind this dress, but as the night grew on she looked uncomfortable and cold. The fabric of this dress cheapened it to me, and I did not like how thin she looked last night.

 

Did you enjoy the awards last night? I felt Ricky Gervais was quite safe last night…there was a few good one liners from Seth Rogan and Meryl Streep! I’m glad The Artist won a few awards, it was a great film. Michelle Williams did a great job in My Week With Marilyn so she deserved the win, even though I’m not sure why it that film was categorized as a comedy/musical…The Golden Golbes are usually a hint as to what we will see at the Oscars, so it should be interesting to see if a few of the same people bring home the win!

Best Dressed at The 2012 People’s Choice Awards

It’s the start of the awards season, and if THIS is what we have to look forward to, I’m not going to have too much to write about! Everyone seemed to go quite tame and a little on the casual side this year. However, I was able to scrounge a few favorites, and of course my least favorites!

Best Dressed Female:

From the new series “Once Upon A Time”, Ginnifer Goodwin. Amazing hair, stunning make up, shoes are killer and that dress is bold but fits her like a glove. A+ for her!

Best Dressed Man:

Ian Somerhalder from the show “Vampire Diaries”. Had he worn a tie with the pocket square it would have been too dressy. He had the perfect amount of class for an event like this.

Worst Dressed Female:

Kelly Osbourne. Considering she’s is on E! Channel’s “Fashion Police” you’d think she would have made a little more effort. (Her Mom, however looked STUNNING!)

Worst Dressed Man:

Chris Klein. Not quite sure why he was there, but WHITE skate shoes on the red carpet? Really?! No no no!

Hollywood’s Most Stylish Couples, Part 2

My previous Hollywood’s Most Stylish Couples post seems to be one of my most popular, so I figured I’d redo a list with a few new couples. Here are my votes for the top 5 most stylish celebrity couples:

Coming in at number 5,  Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston:

Classic with a bit of an edge is what I’d call this pair. Jennifer has always had a great sense of timeless fashion, but Justin brings out a bit of edge in her; which suits her great!

Number 4, is Russell Brand and Katy Perry:

I love how Russell seems to bring out Katy’s “grown-up” sense of fashion. She gives up the cutesy bubblegum pop thing when she is with him, which in turn makes her much more fashionable!

Number 3 is Joel Madden and Nicole Richie:

Being parents has really matured these two, professionally and fashion wise. Nicole has such a fun bohemian style that works great with Joel’s punk rock fashion.

Number 2, and RUNNER UP is Joshua Jackson and Dianne Krueger:

Their style is effortless. Dianne always looks at the top of her game, whether she is on the red carpet or at the airport. She seems to have dressed Josh really well too, because their styles work together perfectly. I know that Dianne personally doesn’t use a stylist which gives them huge bonus points in my book!

The honor of Number 1 goes to: Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani:

Gavin and Gwen have been trend setters since the 90′s- which in my mind is why they deserve the number one spot. They are the coolest parents around; with the most fashionable kids in hollywood and they’ve been together for 14 years! What a great accomplishment in Hollywood. But- back to fashion, Gwen overrides Gavin’s sometimes forever-90′s-rocker-style with her edgy, funky, designer fashion sense. This couple is well deserving of the coveted number one spot.

Who do you think has the best fashion? Do you agree with my choices? Don’t forget to check out Part One of Hollywood’s Most Stylish Couples! I wrote that baby back in 2008!

Yay or Nay: Selma Hayek

What do you think of this outfit that Selma Heyek wore to the premiere of Puss and Boots in the UK? Would you wear this look?

Get The Look: Jamie King

At the GQ Man of The Year Awards, Jamie King looked gorgeous. This inspired me to create a new Get The Look post!

Jamie is wearing a retro style party dress, which is perfect for upcoming holiday season. This A-Line shaped dress is a great style for EVERY body type; because of this it is my personal favorite style dress for the holiday season.

With this retro style dress, I recommend keeping the hair simple. You can do a sleek down ‘do, like Jamie did, or a french twist. Keep the accessories to a minimum. I recommend a good strong earring and a clutch. Finish off the look with a pair of black heels- either peep toes or t-straps to keep with the retro feel. For a more edgy look go with a bootie or platform shoe.

Take a peek at my Get The Look style sheet, (see below) for how you can get Jamie’s style. Everything on the style sheet can be purchased online at Mod Cloth.

Get the Look: Jude Law

Last week Jude Law made an appearance at the Beyond Time: William Turnbull premere wearing an awesome look for fall. Jude is known for his edgy but effortless style, and I love this look because it’s easy for men to wear and for you to modify to fit your personal style.

If you are more classic, stick to a straight leg cuffed jean like Jude has done, and if you are more fashion forward go for a skinny cut jean tucked into your boots. Maybe fedora’s aren’t your thing? Go for a slouchy touque/beanie instead.

Take a look at my Get The Look style sheet below for some inspiration. All the items you can purchase online at Asos.
