Jessica Chastain in Alexander McQueen - 2012 Academy Awards

Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain was on the red carpet for the annual Academy Awards last night held in Hollywood. The stunning red-head became a favourite of mine from the moment I saw her gliding down the carpet...my jaw dropped.

Dress: Alexander McQueen
Heels: Brian Atwood 'Alesha' Monster Pumps


Jessica was picture perfect in her custom Alexander McQueen dress which had a stunning regal feel to it. The strapless, black organza gown had a stunning gold embroidery along with metal thread all over it - it's a work of art and Jessica is beaming while wearing this creation. One of the absolute best of the night.

Another thing that blew me away was Jessica's hair - the strawberry blonde hue is so beautiful that I can't stop staring at it and the sweet half-up-half down style is perfect to show off that strong corset. Her make-up was light and flawless with only a flick of liquid eyeliner to let her gown (and hair) take centre stage. Absolutely mind blowing!

Emma Stone in Alexander McQueen - 2012 Screen Actors' Guild Awards

Emma Stone also attended the 2012 SAG Awards last Sunday night which were held in LA. The red head beauty was there to support her critically acclaimed movie 'The Help' which was been raking in the awards this season. As always, Emma gave us a breath of fresh air in her fashion choices - she's been amazing all this Awards season and one of the last stops is the Oscars, I'm holding my breath! 

Dress: Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2012
Clutch: Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2012

Emma went in the opposite direction by choosing this black, tea length Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2012 dress which is also one of our first looks at this collection on the red carpet. Emma is usually a fan of long wispy dresses so it was definitely a surprise to see her in something so cutesy. Her dress had a very fitted corset which showed off her tiny waist to perfection along with an explosion of lace on the bustier. And as always, Emma accessorized perfectly with her to die for Alexander McQueen clutch from the same collection...the lace, the gold skull-and-horse clasp have me in total awe. Head to toe perfection. 

Emma completed her stunning look with gold jewels, and elegant up-do and a magenta lippie. Gorgeous.

Leighton Meester at ''The Oranges'' Premiere in Toronto.

As I mentioned in my last post about Leighton, she was recently at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) to Premiere her new movie ''The Oranges'' in which Leighton's character 'Nina' starts an affair with an older family friend (Hugh Laurie)..hmm should be interesting! The film had a great response from the critics and has recently been picked up by a distributor and due for release in 2012, can't wait! In the meantime here are some pictures of our girl looking amazing...

Top/Skirt: Alexander McQueen Resort 2012 Broiderie Anglaise Top & Skirt 


Shoes: Alexander McQueen Resort 2012 Ankle Strap Pumps


Clutch: Alexander McQueen Resort 2012 Buckle Clutch


Leighton wore this stunning McQueen combo of a top & skirt from his Resort 2012 collection, she's the second after Anne Hathaway to wear piece from this collection, lucky girl! I was really pleasantly surprised when I saw Leighton in this because she looks so grown up and sophisticated yet there's a peak of  the edgy Leighton we all love. 


She paired her look with leopard print shoes and a buckle clutch from the same collection, she was head to toe in Alexander McQueen and I couldn't be happier because I've been waiting for the day Leighton wears McQueen on a red carpet and my wish came true! 
She looked stunning and probably better than anyone else at TIFF, I'm loving this new grown up look on Leighton and I can't wait to see what she has in store for us next! 


One last look at Leighton's McQueen ensemble and a little closer look at her beautiful clutch, isn't it to die for? Ugh she's so amazing! 



My favourite girl looked beautiful with a half up half down hair style which really accentuated her fringe and I love this dark chocolate hair colour on her! Her make-up consisted of a dark purple eyeshadow, black liner and plenty of mascara to draw attention to those big brown peepers, she finished it off with a slick of gloss. When does she ever not look beautiful? Best looking girl out there for sure...

Anne Hathaway's Obsession - Alexander McQueen

The gorgeous Anne Hathaway has been busy promoting her new film One Day all around the world, Anne's character ''Emma'' is a Yorkshire gal so Anne had to adopt a British accent in the process so naturally she's been wearing the UK's biggest designer - Alexander McQueen to all of her major Premiere's such as New York and London. Being one of the biggest actresses in Hollywood means Anne has her pick of the newest collections, in this case both dresses are from McQueen's Resort 2012 collection and of course when being styled by Rachel Zoe, you can't really go wrong.



Anne at the New York Premiere of ''One Day'', 8th August 2011:

Dress: Alexander McQueen Resort 2012

Shoes: Christian Louboutin '' Pigalle Plato''


For the NYC Premiere Anne chose this beautifully detailed dress from McQueen's newest collection, she had the honour of being the first to wear it and looked sensational doing so, the top half of the dress is of course the most exciting part as the rest is a sheeny black but the gold and bronze detailing really give the dress that spark to make it red carpet worthy.


Anne paired her lovely dress which I must say really isn't conventional McQueen - when I first saw it I had no idea it was McQueen but it was a pleasant surprise none the less! Back to the point, Anne chose these beautiful light gold Louboutins that I haven't really noticed before, I'm glad she went for a nude shoe as anything darker would've darkened the whole look considering there's a lot of black on the dress. 


Anne looked beautiful, as usual in wavy two toned hair and a brown smoky eye to accentuate her beautiful eyes, I thought she looked sensational at the NYC Premiere and as far as prettiness goes, she looks better at this Premiere. 





Anne at the London Premiere of ''One Day'', 23rd August 2011:

Dress: Alexander McQueen Resort 2012 Cap Sleeve Lace Dress

Shoes: Alexander McQueen Resort 2012

Clutch: Alexander McQueen Resort 2012

Jewellery: Tiffany


For her London Premiere, Anne wore this beautiful white lace dress from the same collection and I must say I prefer this dress to the previous, it looks a lot more classic McQueen hence the lace and detailing but its just generally more appealing to the eye. There's something very eye catching about this dress, its feminine yet quite sexy, I genuinely love it and white is definitely Anne's colour, I hope to see her in it more often during the press tour. 


The lovely Anne paired her one of a kind lace dress with pumps and a clutch from the same collection, I'm in love with the clutch - its such a clean and classic white, its just beautiful but I'm not too sure about the shoes, I feel as though they almost ruined the dress for some people because the colour seems to wash her out, I however will over look them and pay attention to that beauty of a dress! 


Hair & make-up for this Premiere was very simple, not overdone at all - side swept hair and very natural make-up with a little eye liner on the eyes, I prefer the beauty part of the NYC Premiere but the dress of London! Lovely!






What do you guys think? London or New York?

BAFTA ''Brits To Watch Gala'': Favourite Looks.

Hello people! I haven't posted in a while because I didn't think there was anything worth posting but I saw pictures of the BAFTA ''Brits To Watch Gala'' event which took place on July 10th and seeing as my girl Blake Lively was in attendance, I immediately felt like blogging!
As I'm sure everybody knows, The Duke & Duchess of Cambrigde aka William and Kate were in California over that weekend and I believe the event was in their honor because William was made president of the BAFTA awards! Here are some of my favourites from that night...




Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge in Alexander McQueen:

If there's one thing about me that everybody knows, its that I adore Catherine, like literally love her! I didn't like her very much in the beginning but the anticipation of her wedding just made me fall in love with her! She's so graceful and elegant and perfect, William and Catherine (I love calling her that) are such fantastic representatives of our country!
 As you can see here, she wore a Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen design (obv) and looked absolutely magical!

I love that Kate didn't go over the top, the shade of the dress is lovely and it creates a lovely silhouette without going over board! Her hair and make-up looked beautiful as always, so fresh and understated yet powerful enough to make a statement!
P.S. Kate wore Jimmy Choo's...finally,I was getting sick of seeing her in LK Bennett but the girl changed it up, and they had a 5 inch heel, go Kate!  




Jennifer Lopez in Emilio Pucci A/W 2011:

The amazing J-LO was in attendance and wore this beautiful forest green Emilio Pucci dress. I'm in love with the colour, she's worn this kind of shade before and she's always looked fantastic, I'm also loving the two different shades of green - that embellished green is beautiful and the highlight of the dress for me!


The dress fits her like a glove and shows off her enviable curves to the maximum - she has such a beautiful and womanly shape! 
I actually cannot get over that embellished right arm...look at the colour and the detail, its insane and the main reason as to why I'm so obsessed with this dress, lol. 

I had to add this picture because she looks so gorgeous in it, plus we can see the dress in a different angle and see the detail a little closer! And of course, her famous derrière is another reason as to why I added it... ;)





Blake Lively in Marchesa S/S 2011:


My darling Blake was also in attendance and she showed up in this angelic and very embellished Marchesa gown looking absolutely stunning! Personally I think the dress is beautiful even some others weren't too complementary, I think the colour suits her and the embellishment around the ends, sleeve and chest is gorgeous, very nicely done and adds something special to the gown. 


I also like that she chose something quite off white because although it looks white its not quite, its been very lightly dip dyed towards the end where it meets the embellishment which is grey of course, she colour coordinated really well! Her shoes are amazing, they're Christian Louboutins for Marchesa from the Fall/Winter 2011 RTW collection, beautiful and delicate detail plus it has a really good heel! I love this whole look on Blake, its a different direction to her usual short dress combo (which I kinda miss to be honest)! 


Blake's hair & make-up on the night was also one of my favourites, she kept the make-up fresh looking with gold eye-shadow, plenty of mascara, flawless skin and peachy lip! Her hair was also a talking point, all the Blake obsessives will have noticed that she's quite a bit blonder than when we last saw her - she seems to have added a lot more highlights which eventually lightened up her hair a whole lot! I wasn't too sure of the hair in the beginning because I thought it looked a little yellow for her complexion but I've grown to like it!! 
Also, she's wearing Lorraine Schwartz diamond flower earrings as always, she looked stunning! 





See ya later! ;)
