Red Carpet Report • The 2012 Met Gala • Colours

Dianna Agron wore a Carolina Herrera gown, since the designer's guest at the gala. The jade green organza gown with draped peplum was adorned with a matching snakeskin wrap belt. The Glee-actress accessorized with Sergio Rossi heels, a metallic Judith Leiber clutch and Fred Leighton jewels. Dianna's hair was in a wavy updo. Greta Gerwig accompanied Prabal Gurung to the Met Gala. The actress wore a dark green silk gown with center ruching from the Pre-Fall 2012 collection. The long-sleeve gown with open draped back looked great with Greta's complexion. The beautiful gown was styled with a glittery green clutch and gold jewelry encrusted with jade stones.

Chloe Sevigny, what can I say, surprised me. Her look perfectly fitted her rebellious style and I have to say, she looked pretty good. The actress donned a mirrored patchwork mini by Miu Miu. The revealing dress was paired with glittery clog-booties, also by Miu Miu. Chloe carried a bright pink Miu Miu clutch. I still dislike her messy hair... Lea Michele also attended the Met Gala. The Glee-actress looked like her diva-licious self in a fully sequined navy blue gown by Diane von Furstenberg. The gown, with thigh-high split and plunging neckline showed a lot of skin. Lea accessorized with silver Christian Louboutin peep-toe slingback pumps and a matching blue DVF clutch. Lea wore her hair in a wavy updo, Lorraine Schwartz earrings completed her look.

Chelsea Handler was on the arm of her new boyfriend on Monday. The comedienne and TV-presenter wore a midnight blue crocodile-structure Roland Mouret gown. She styled her gown with a Judith Leiber clutch. A bangle by Neil Lane and a curly hairstyle completed her look. It's a pity the gown doesn't sit on Chelsea too well. Heidi Klum donned a lace blue Escada wrap-detail gown. The custom gown with cap sleeves was taken to red carpet level with a  gunmetal-grey layered necklace by Lorraine Schwartz. The German model also wore Christian Louboutin pumps. A blown-out hairstyle and natural-looking make-up provided the finishing touches for Heidi's look.

Bee Shaffer accompanied her mother, Anna Wintour, on the red carpet. The fashionista looked beautiful in a blue, white and black printed gown by Erdem, from the Fall 2012 collection. It's hard to see in the picture, but the gown with deep V-neckline and train was embroidered with lace. Bee wore her hair in a simple bun, to give her sparkly chandelier earrings all attention. Candice Swanepoel looked gorgeous in a custom-made royal blue Rag & Bone gown. The halterneck gown with navy stretch panels and sheer chiffon panels also featured a lace overlay. Black pumps and a tight bun completed her look. Love it!

Jessica Chastain walked the red carpet in a blue Louis Vuitton gown. The award-winning actress wore a crystal- and pearl-embroidered gown with fitted bodice. Miss Chastain accessorized with Harry Winston jewels. A deep red lip colour that matched her manicure and cascading curls completed the look. Brooklyn Decker accompanied designer Tory Burch on the red carpet. The model/actress looked pretty in a light blue silk tulle gown. The gown featured beaded floral appliqués and a fully pleated skirt with high slit. Tory Burch sandals and clutch finished the look. Love the lip shade!

I loved Sofia Vergara's look. The Modern Family-actress looked beautiful in a silver embroidered gown by Marchesa, from the Spring 2012 collection. The strapless column dress with pleated bodice was chic and sexy on Sofia's silhouette. A straight hairstyle, Harry Winston jewels and a bright lip shade completed the look. Jessica Stam looked haute in a Christian Dior Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2006 gown. The pale blue gown with structured bodice with gold detailing and a mermaid train. The model styled her ensemble with metallic peep-toes, Lorraine Schwartz jewels including chandelier earrings and encrusted bangles. A clean udpo and statement eye make-up finished the look.

Dakota Fanning went for an organza and tulle gown with floral ribbons by Louis Vuitton. Her lavender gown with full skirt was accessorized with a matching silk clutch. The young actress  wore her hair in a half swept-back style. A diamond bracelet finished her look. I don't think she pulls off this look too well and I just don't know why I feel this way... Gwyneth Paltrow went short for the Met red carpet. The British star donned a steel blue halterneck dress with open back and back pleats. The Prada look also featured paillette-embroidered patch pockets. Matching satin Prada heels with embellished heels, a blush Prada clutch and encrusted hoop earrings completed the fun look.

Kristen Stewart is the face of the new Balenciaga fragrance, so it's obvious she walked the red carpet in a Balenciaga look. The actress donned a Fall 2012 dress with colour-block skirt and strapless embellished bodice. So far, this look is quite okay. And then there come those hideous shoes. The black-and-white lace-up heels totally ruin the look for me, her hair does get a plus, though. I was a tad disappointed when I saw Diane Kruger on the red carpet. The German actress donned a loose purple chiffon Prada gown with deep neckline. The layered gown with ostrich-feathered hemline was styled with a bright pink clutch and a gold pendant necklace with purple stones. Although Diane's look is flawless (as always), I was expecting more from her. Better next time!

Amber Heard embraced her bombshell-self in a orchid satin bustier gown by Zac Posen. The Fall 2012 gown with a lot of ruffles on the back was styled with Tiffany jewels. Bright red lips and a chic updo completed Amber's look. There's too much going on on the back of this gown, do you agree? I was pretty scared for Paula Patton's red carpet appearance, since her styling and poses always leave me baffled. But it looks like she had upgraded her style for the Met. The actress looked lovely in a pink strapless Vera Wang gown. The gown, with pleat-detailing on the bodice and skirt looked great with Paula's skin. Paula accessorized with complementary jewels, including big earrings. A tight updo and metallic clutch completed her look.

Julianne Hough looked lovely in a hot pink trumpet gown by Carolina Herrera. The gown, with a black-trimmed bodice was a custom-made one. The fitted bodice and dramatic train were perfect for Julianne and her toned figure. Beautiful blonde curls and chandelier earrings completed her look. Emily Blunt looked stunning in a simple pink Calvin Klein dress with cut-outs on the sides and an open back. The actress carried an embellished clutch and wore her hair down in a straight style. Statement eye make-up finished her look.

Mia Wasikowska made a return to the red carpet for the Met Gala. The actress looked pretty in a raspberry gown with a black embroidered collar and waistband by Prada. The short-sleeve gown was styled with Prada shoes and clutch. Retro curls and dark red lips completed this conservative look. Hilary Swank also attended the gala. The actress wore a custom Michael Kors gown. The scarlet tie-neck gown with wrapped and gathered detail was teamed with a gold python Michael Kors clutch and sandals. Side-swept cascading curls and gold jewelry by Fred Leighton provided the finishing touches for the look.

Emma Stone looked lovely in a red, custom-made Lanvin dress. The satin dress with crystal flower-embroideries and a full puffy skirt. Emma paired her dress with black pumps - very uninspiring - and crystal Lanvin hair pins, which kept together her chic retro updo. Milla Jovovich wore Prada for the occasion. The actress opted for a red satin gown with black beading and shredded skirt. The gown, with plunging neckline, was teamed with black peep-toe pumps and black embellished clutch, both by Prada. A 20s inspired hairdo completed the flapper-esque look.

Tory Burch selected a look from her own collection. The designer went for a tulle ivory dress with coral flower appliqués. Tory accessorized with emerald earrings that popped against the coral embroideries on the dress - I love big, bright and dangling earrings. A casual hairstyle provided the finishing touch for the Met look. Kirsten Dunst opted for something else than a gown. The actress wore a custom-made pumpkin Rodarte suit. The jacket with white lapels was paired with a matching maxi skirt and black leather belt. A retro hairdo completed the look.

Eva Mendes walked the red carpet in a strapless tangerine gown by Prada. The peplum gown with black and white stone embellishments on the bodice also featured a center-split. She styled her ensemble with Prada heels, a two-tone clutch which matches the gown-embellishments and Fred Leighton jewels. Shiny wavy hair and pink lips provided the finishing touches for Eva's look. Ginnifer Goodwin looked pretty in a tangerine Monique Lhuillier gown with cap sleeves and embroidered neckline. The gown with center slit was styled with a matching leather belt, silver Brian Atwood pumps (nah with this look) and H.Stern jewelry. A slicked-back hairdo and natural make-up completed her look.

Kristen Bell looked fine in a silk orange tie-neck gown by Tommy Hilfiger, the designer of whom she was a guest. The blonde actress styled her multi-wrap gown with keyhole-accent with a gold clutch and gold jewels. Her hair was kept down in a straight style. Katharine McPhee was the lady that graced the red carpet in Elie Saab. The actress looked beautiful in an orange-coral Spring 2012 gown with plunging square neckline and a matching belt. The fully embroidered gown was paired with a bronze Louboutin clutch and a gold bracelet. A teased updo and dangling gold earrings completed the look.

Kirsten Wigg was a beauty in orange on Monday. The actress wore a gorgeous orange sleeveless Stella McCartney Evening 2012 dress. The lace embroidered dress with pleated skirt was styled with grey pointed-toe pumps and a beige clutch. Glossy waves and Fred Leighton jewels provided the finishing touches for this look. Although the shoes is styling out of the box, I'm not sure if I like them with this dress. Hailee Steinfeld (yes, 15 years old) went for a pale peach Miu Miu gown with glass and crystal embroideries. A shiny straight hairstyle finished Hailee's look.

Emma Roberts attended the Met Gala in a custom-made marigold silk Escada gown with a peplum-detail which cascaded into a small train. The strapless gown with sapphire blue belt was accessorized with an encrusted Swarovski clutch and Bulgari jewels. A wavy hairstyle and dark eye make-up completed the look. Solange Knowles walked the red carpet with sister Beyonce. She donned a chic but simple look by Rachel Roy. Her canary yellow dress with peplum-detail fitted Solange like a glove. The diva styled her strapless gown with Sergio Rossi heels, a gold-and-silver embellished Edie Parker clutch and a gold bracelet. Gorgeous!

January Jones looked stunning in a yellow custom Atelier Versace Spring 2012 gown. The gown with peplum waist and gold metallic insets was paired with gold Versace heels and a turquoise and diamond statement necklace by Cartier. January let her hair down in a sleek style, bright lips provided the finishing touch for her look. Coca Rocha didn't wear a gown. The supermodel donned a yellow vintage Givenchy suit with a pink bustier top. The pink top matched the pink embroideries on the suit. Coco completed her look with pink satin Sergio Rossi heels, a gold Kotur clutch and ridiculous pink ombre tips.

Red Carpet Report • The 2012 Tribeca Film Festival Vanity Fair Party

Last night, the annual Tribeca Film Festival Vanity Fair Party was held in New York, at the State Supreme Courthouse. 

Leelee Sobieski looked very elegant in a Jil Sander Spring 2012 dress. Her dress with V-neck and wide skirt was styled with a sleek hairstyle and a deep pink lip shade. Copper eye make-up which made Leelee's eyes stand out completed the look. Ivanka Trump looked statuesque in a stripe print dress with geometric insets by Carolina Herrera from the Spring 2012 collection. The business woman accessorized with black mesh pumps, a grey clutch and a red belt. A clean hairstyle, onyx drop earrings and deep red lip colour provided the finishing touches for her look. 
  
Jessica White looked beautiful in a sparkly sleeveless Abed Mahfouz gown with draped skirt and thigh-high split. The model styled her dress with red sandals and statement jewels by Jeffrey Rackover. A sleek ponytail completed her look. Wendi Murdoch was colourful in a Alberta Ferretti Spring 2012 crochet dress. She styled her halterneck dress with a red clutch that matched the skirt of the dress and blue Giuseppe Zanotti sandals which matched the lining of her dress. Wendi kept her hair down in a wavy style. Red lippie and sparkly hooped earrings provided the finishing touches for her look.

Diane von Furstenberg donned a sparkly silver sheath dress, teamed with blue sandals. The designer also wore a purple-and-green overcoat. She kept her hair down in a curly style. Dakota Fanning also was among the stars. The young actress wore a bright pink dress from the Lanvin Pre-Fall 2012 dress. Although the dress is perfect (young and fresh) for Dakota, her styling brings the look down. She teamed her dress with tan Lanvin pumps, which is just very inspirational. There's another thing about her look that I don't get: what's in her hair? It seems to be a beaded headband or something... A copper box clutch and matching eye make-up finished Dakota's look.

Tory Burch opted for a Christian Dior Resort 2012 dress. The tri-coloured long-sleeve dress was styled with black pumps. The designer let her hair down in a straight hairstyle. Catherine Zeta Jones also attended the Vanity Fair bash. Together with husband Michael Douglas she was spotted entering the Supreme Courthouse. The actress opted for a grey sequined Michael Kors dress with asymmetrical hemline. The one-shoulder jersey dress was paired with gold Louboutin sandals and sparkling jewels. Dark make-up and a sleek hairstyle completed her look. Please explain the shoe-choice to me. 

  

Nicole Trunfio looked sexy in a supershort Emilio Pucci Resort 2012 dress. The gold mini with sheer sleeves and keyhole accent was paired with black ankle-strap sandals by Louboutin. Nicole wore her hair in a simple updo, a Chanel bag completed her look. Helena Christensen looked flirty in a Marc by Marc Jacobs dress with scalloped hemline. The dress was paired with white peep-toes with a neon pink base and a gold clutch. A chic updo finished the look.

Red Carpet Report • The 9th Annual Spring Dinner Dance New Year's In April: A Fool's Fete

Many celebrities attended the 9th Annual Spring Dinner Dance New Year's In April: A Fool's Fete last night. The fundraiser party was held at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in New York City, lets see!


Doutzen Kroes was among the models who walked the red carpet. The Dutchie was one of the few who didn't wear a gown. The blonde supermodel opted for a purple keyhole top with open back and black belt, paired with matching pants by Rachel Roy. A perforated leather clutch by Alaia and a tight ponytail completed Doutzen's look.

Erin Heatherton wore a canary yellow and taupe chiffon gown by Carolina Herrera, from the Spring 2012 collection. The gown featured silver and black embroideries and was styled with black strappy sandals. The model left her hair down in a simple straight style.

Selita Ebanks, well what can I say? The (ex?)model donned a silver embellished gown with sequined illusion panels along the side by CD Greene. The one-shoulder gown was styled with a shiny red clutch. Selita wore her hair down in a curly style, a very dark lip colour completed the look. Not my favourite look of the night.

Jessica White opted for a raspberry sequined wrap gown by Diane von Furstenburg. The model gave us a good look at her legs, via the split in the gown. Jessica paired her dress with cream peep-toes by Christian Louboutin, she also carried a crystal embellished Tonda clutch, also by DVF. A sleek hairstyle and lippie that matched her gown finished Jessica's look.

Coco Rocha walked the red carpet in a beautiful tulle embroidered gown from the Zac posen Spring 2012 collection. The gown with corset-bodice and fluttery ruffled sleeves looked gorgeous on the model. To show the butterfly sleeves of the dress, Coco wore her hair in a loose, elegant updo.

Crystal Renn was another attendee that opted for Zac Posen. The supermodel opted for a Pre-Fall 2012 forest green gown with feather-detailing on the shoulders. Crystal wore her platinum hair in a chic updo. Hot red lips provided the finishing touch for the look. I'm sorry, but I totally hate the bleached eyebrows trend and I think that Crystal (although she is fierce) doesn't pull off this look.
