Red Carpet Report • The Metropolitan Opera Gala Premiere of Jules Massenet’s ‘Manon’

On Monday evening, the Metropolitan Opera Gala Premiere of Jules Massenet’s Manon took place at the Lincoln Center in NYC. 


Chloe Moretz was on top of her game last night, opting for a navy blue tiered gown with bow detail by YSL. The young star styled her gown with satin YSL pumps and a YSL clutch. Her hair was in a clean ponytail. A choker completed her look and brought it down at the same time. Amber Heard went for a bombshell look again! The blonde actress opted for a slinky black YSL halter dress with a criss-cross open back. The teal dress looked gorgeous on Amber's figure. The actress wore her hair in a quiffed updo, she also wore bright red lipstick.

  

Emma Roberts was gorgeous in a black strapless jumpsuit by YSL. The jumpsuit with sweetheart neckline was accented with a red flower-appliqué belt. Emma sported black satin YSL platforms and carried a black clutch, also by YSL. Emma's hair was in a side-parted style. Emmy Rossum didn't mingle in with the black carpet, opting for a fuchsia strapless dress by YSL Edition Soir '12. The dress that we've seen on Kylie Minogue last month, featured a central split and empire waist. Emmy teamed her dress with black strappy sandals, an embellished choker and a black clutch. Chopard earrings and a sleek updo finished Emmy's look. 

  

January Jones also walked the black carpet. It first seemed like January had opted for a boring black YSL Fall 2012 dress with drape-neck and embellished detail. But when the actress turned around, she revealed a thigh-high split on the side and an open back. January paired her dress with Palais peep-toe platforms by YSL and diamond stud-earrings. A retro hairdo, statement eye make-up and coral lippie completed her look. Chloe Malle, Social Editor at Vogue, wore a Gucci Spring 2012 drop-waist dress with a fringed skirt and art deco pattern. She styled her ensemble with gold strappy heels and a black clutch. Her hair was in a voluminous do. A rich red lip shade provided the finishing touch for Chloe's look. We've also seen this look on Camille Belle at the LACMA's back in November. 

  

Who is your best dressed? I loved Emma!

Report • The 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards Best Dressed

On Saturday the 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards were held at the Shrine Auditorium in LA. 


Emma Stone walked the red carpet in a flirty tea-length strapless dress from Alexander McQueen's Pre-Fall 2012 collection. The lace embroidered gown with flaring skirt was paired with peep-toe sandals and an embroidered McQueen clutch. Emma's hair was up in a soft do, her look was topped off with gorgeous Tiffany & Co. earrings. 

  

Amber Heard donned a complicated Zac Posen Pre-Fall 2011 gown, which featured cut-outs at the shoulders and waist. The actress wore her hair in a super-teased updo, not my favourite do from Amber but fine. She opted for copper statement eye make-up and nude lips. She accessorized with H.Stern jewels. 

  

Julianna Margulies was a Good Wife in a gorgeous strapless embellished gown by Calvin Klein. The white gown contrasted beautifully with Julianna's dark hair. Then there's her hair. I'm not a big fan of Julianna's half swept back hairstyle. Her make-up on the other hand, is flawless. The actress finished off her look with white statement earrings.

  

Zoe Saldana opted for a gown that was showed only five days ago in Paris. The actress debuted a white Givenchy haute couture gown from the Spring/Summer 2012 collection with diamond and spike embellished collar and sleeves. Zoe's tank gown with shiny skirt featured a sheer overlay with floral embroidery. Zoe paired her gown with Giuseppe Zanotti heels, a Givenchy clutch and Tiffany & Co. jewelry, her hair was in a teased updo. The only thing I don't like about Zoe's look is that it looks like Zoe is wearing a simple tank top underneath her gown, but in the meantime this is part of the design. 

  

Emily Blunt looked stunning in a gorgeous jade dress by Oscar de la Renta, from the Resort 2012 collection. The one-shouldered chiffon gown with high split was teamed with Jimmy Choo sandals, a Swarovski clutch and Lorraine Schwartz bangles. I love the gown but I'm not too happy about Emily's updo, it feels sloppy with the gown, but chapeau for the coral lip shade and blue eyes complementing the green colour of the gown!

  

Actress Jayma Mays looked shiny in a fully-embroidered Fall/Winter Reem Acra gown with train. The cap-sleeved gown also had a lace inset on the bag and looked gorgeous on the Glee-actress. Jayma paired her dress with leather and lace sandals by Brian Atwood, a clutch by Judith Leiber and Neil Lane jewels. 

  

Jessica Chastain was a lady in blue on the red carpet. The red-haired actress opted for a custom designed azure blue Calvin Klein Collection gown. The bustier gown looked beautiful with her fair skin and red hair, which was in old Hollywood curls. The actress paired her blue gown with sapphire Harry Winston drop earrings. 

  

Lea Michele walked the red carpet in a silver corset gown by Atelier Versace, from the Fall/Winter 2011 collection. Although I love the dress with the thigh-high split on Lea, I feel like she's not tall enough to pull of all the fabric. The actress paired her dress with silver Casadei pumps, a sparkly Fendi bag and Lorraine Schwartz diamond. 

  

Angelina Jolie looked beautiful in a slinky black Jenny Packham Fall 2011 draped gown. The metallic gown was even more gorgeous on Angelina since she accessorized with drop hoop earrings from House of Lavande. The actress wore her hair in a swept back straight style. Angelina's look was finished with Gucci heels, a clutch by Louis Vuitton and a few rings by Platt Boutique. 

  

Stacy Keibler attended the SAG's together with George Clooney. She walked the red carpet in a lace gown with a mermaid-like skirt and a wide scalloped neckline by Marchesa. Stacy also carried a clutch and accessorized with large diamond drop earrings. Her hair was in a soft, wavy updo.  

  

I know I didn't include Natalie Portman and Sophia Vergara in my post, although they looked gorgeous. Natalie wore a beautiful Giambattista Valli gown but she wasn't best dressed because she wasn't able to work the gown. Sophia's curve-hugging gown was just same old, same old. 

My favourite of the evening? Since I'm into glitz Jayma Mays and my all time faves Stacy and Amber. But also Emily, whaaa I can't choose! You?

Red Carpet Report • The 64th Annual Directors Guild Of America Awards

On Saturday, the 64th Annual Directors Guild Of America Awards were held at the Grand Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland Center in Hollywood. 


Shailene Woodley was spotted at the 64th Annual Directors Guild of America Awards held in Hollywood on Saturday in a floor-length Valentino Spring 2012 lace embroidered gown with ruffled cap sleeves. The actress decided to wear a black strapless underlay by Hervé Legér which totally ruined the look for me, she should have worn a nude design. Shailene teamed her gown with Jimmy Choo flats and a side braid. Love for the braid!

  

Jennifer Aniston was another lady that attended the 64th Annual Directors Guild of America Awards. The actress donned her signature little black dress by Dolce & Gabbana, this time a strapless one with an embellished floral pattern. Jennifer paired her dress with strap sandals by Celine and a Salvatore Ferragamo envelope clutch. Her hair was down in a straight layered style, she opted for neutral make-up. 

  

One of my fashion-crushes, Amber Heard, flaunted her curves in a navy silk Spring 2012 Roland Mouret gown. The gown was accented with flaps, a high split in the front and a plunging back. The gown was paired with black peep-toes. Amber wore her hair in a voluminous style and wore neutral make-up. Love. 

  

Although Michelle Williams skipped the red carpet, she did wear a beautiful Chanel Couture gown from the 2007 collection. The gown featured stunning embellishments in silver, navy, gold and green in the bodice and the split and also an embellished appliqué on the shoulder. Michelle styled her dress with black pumps, diamond stud earrings, a diamond bracelet and a diamond ring. 

  

Berenice Bejo opted for a Gucci Spring 2012 black and gold dress from the collection we have seen many times on the red carpet. It was a perfect fit for the actress! The flapper style dress was paired with strappy Gucci sandals and a black and gold Gucci clutch which matched her dress. Berenice wore golden make-up, her hair was swept into a curly ponytail.

  

Helen Mirren looked beautiful in a Badgley Mischka Spring 2011 gown, but it was a re-run from the 2011 Golden Globes and for me that's a no go to a big event like the DGA's. The yellow gown featured embellished cold shoulders and draped detailing. Helen's hair was in a chic updo, she opted to accessorize with diamond statement earrings and a matching yellow-gold clutch. 

  

Kathleen Robertson walked the red carpet in a sleek black gown with patent leather detailing by Ronald Abdala. She paired her gown with a black clutch and large diamond statement earrings. The actress wore her hair in a chic updo. As for the make-up, Kathleen opted for a reddish lip shade. I do think the make-up looks a little freaky around the eyes and nose. 

  

Missi Pyle looked like she had opted to wear her night gown on the red carpet. Although the Chagoury Couture cocktail dress had a beautiful lacy design, it just made me think of a négligée. I'm not a big fan of her accessory-choice either, the actress opted for a dark clutch and nude embellished pumps: no. Missi's hair did look good, though. She wore her hair down in long glossy curls. 

  

So then again, if I have to choose my favourite: Amber Heard!

Who was yours?

Premiere Spot • Amber Heard at 'The Rum Diary' London Premiere

Oh gosh, Amber Heard is my fashion crush of the moment! Once again Amber stunned on the red carpet for another premiere of The Rum Diary in London. The actress wore a gorgeous curve-hugging pale rose paillette gown by Alessandra Rich from the Spring 2012 collection. Knowing how to work a dress, she wore nude Louboutin peep-toes, her hair was swept into a chic updo. Again, big YES for me!



WOW!

Red Carpet Report • Best Dressed at the 15th Annual Hollywood Film Awards Gala

On Monday, the 15th Annual Hollywood Film Awards Gala was held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in LA. A lot of fashion was to be seen at the red carpet. Here are my favourites!

One of my fashion faves of the moment, Amber Heard, stunned at the red carpet. The blonde actress opted for an aqua skirt with a long train by Roksanda Illincic from the Spring 2010 collection. She paired the skirt with a silk green and black lace-trimmed top by the same designer. The black of the trim came back in Amber's waistband. Amber swept her hair to one side, her make-up consisted of smoky eyes and soft pink lippie.

Emma Stone looked gorgeous in Jonathan Saunders. Emma wore an off-white pleated, sleeveless dress from the Spring 2012 collection. The actress styled her dress with bow detailed platform heels by Dior. Emma accessoirzed with beautiful emerald and turquoise drop earrings and a matching ring by Irene Neuwirth, which looked perfect with her wavy side-swept locks.

Michelle Williams wore a beautiful midnight blue gown by Nina Ricci. The gown was made of silk and chiffon and featured a metal and sequin embroidered neckline. The Best Actress of the night paired her dress with ankle strap peep-toe heels with black bows.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was effortlessly beautiful on the red carpet. The model slash actress wore a long-sleeved embroidered floral dress by Emilio Pucci from the Fall 2011 collection. Her dress had an open back and an elegant side split. She wore Christian Louboutin pumps to go with her dress. Rosie kept her hair and make-up simple, she wore her hair in a messy bun and wore neutral lippie.

Anne Hathaway opted for Erdem Spring 2012. She wore a floral-printed dress with a high-waist skirt and spaghetti-strings. Anne paired her dress with basic black peep-toe pumps, which was a little boring. The actress wore her hair down in glossy waves, but I think that took away the maximum effect of the dress. 

George Clooney's girlfriend Stacy Keibler wore a (very familair) strapless Maria Lucia Hohan gown, this time in purple. The gown featured a ruffled detail on the bodice. Stacy accessorized with silver jewellery and a black clutch, she kept her hair down.  

Carey Mulligan was a lady in black to pick up her Supporting Actress award. The actress opted for an embellished halter dress by Bottega Veneta from the 2012 Spring collection. She paired her dress with black satin Ferragamo peep-toes and a leather box clutch, also by Bottega Veneta. As for the hair, Carey wore it in a modern quiff.

    

The new girl in town Shailene Woodley wore an LBD by Moschino Cheap and Chic. She styled her cute dress with black satin pumps by Rachel Zoe. Shailene accessorized with a ring by Loree Rodkin and a Judith Leiber clutch. Her hair was in an easy ponytail.

Whose look do you love most?

My absolute faves are Amber Heard, Emma Stone & Michelle Williams.
