Jennifer Lawrence is best known for her role in Winter’s Bone, she hit the spotlight during awards season with numerous best actress nominations. Her red carpet looks won her the attention of the fashion world including a particularly spectacular red Calvin Klein number at the Oscars. Yesterday she was spotted leaving the David Letterman Show in a figure hugging blue dress from the spring collection by Joseph Altuzarra. Yves Saint Laurent heels completed the sexy look.
Nicole Kidman accompanied her country singer husband Keith Urban to the Grammy Awards on Sunday. The A-list actress went for a high fashion look in a floral printed strapless dress from the new spring haute couture collection by Jean Paul Gaultier. Nicole can be a little hit or miss but she got the look just right here. One very minor issue; this type of couture look maybe is a little glam for the Grammys.
Florence Welch to the fashion savvy is not only an amazing singer but also one very stylish dresser. Florence had three changes of outfit for the Grammys; an Elie Saab to perform and an Yves Saint Laurent to watch the show but it was her arrival outfit that grabbed my attention. Florence wore a stunning wing detail sheer gown by the new spring couture collection by Givenchy.
The LA premiere of How Do You Know took place last night. The new film starring Reese Witherspoon, Owen Wilson and Jack Nicholson attracted the film’s stars to the red carpet event.
Leading lady Reese went for a strapless bustier dress from the new spring collection by Zac Posen. The dress isn’t particularly show-stopping but the ribbon detailing and sheer bustier are a nice finish. Reese completes the look with black Yves Saint Laurent Trib Two pumps.
Audrey Tautou attended the Paris premiere of De Vrais Mensonges last night. The actress famed for her portrayal of Coco Chanel in Coco Avant Chanel, wore a peasant style dress from the new spring collection by Yves Saint Laurent. The hot of the runway design was paired with YSL black pumps and a clutch. It’s not to everyone’s taste but Audrey with her natural French charm pulls it off.
Miley Cyrus attended the launch of the new Miley and Max clothing range for Asda in Derby yesterday. The clothing range is a collaboration between Miley and Max Azria (the designer behind Herve Leger). Miley posed for the photocall in a surprisingly chic ensemble, a white shirt teamed with a black oversized belt by Antonio Berardi, Yves Saint Laurent heels, and a black leather mini skirt by L’Agence.
You can steal Miley’s style and invest in the very same leather mini skirt for an on-trend buy from L’Agence at Net-a-porter.com for £395.
Stars gathered in LA last night for the annual BAFTA Britannia Awards. Carey Mulligan arrived fresh from news that she has been crowned Harper’s Bazaar’s best dressed. She lived up to her title in a black and white dress from the new spring collection by Preen. Monochrome is always a chic choice and is brightened up by Carey’s choice of electric blue Yves Saint Laurent platforms.
Also bringing the wow factor; child star turned fashionista Dakota Fanning. Dakota wore a cream drop waist gown from the fall couture collection by Valentino for a fairytale princess look. Olivia Wilde went for a sophisticated looked in a black sequinned gown from the fall collection by Michael Kors.
Marion Cotillard made a questionable choice in a one sleeved mini dress from Elie Saab’s spring collection teamed with Jimmy Choos. The shade of grey and oversized fit make this look underwhelming.
Christina Ricci made an appearance at the Library Lions Benefit at the New York Public Library yesterday. Christina made a high fashion choice in a layered organza dress teamed with a black tuxedo dress, a look taken from the fall collection by Marchesa. Black Yves Saint Laurent Trib Twos and a Judith Leiber clutch completes her look, my only issue is the tights; Christina should have braved bare legs.
Florence and the Machine lead singer Florence Welch has a well established penchant for high-end fashion. She has previously been spotted in the very finest Chanel and Givenchy couture so it’s no surprise her outfit for the Q Awards held yesterday in London’s Grosvenor House Hotel, was super stylish.
Florence chose a sheer blouse and textured skirt look from the fall collection by Yves Saint Laurent teamed with platforms also by YSL. Not only did Florence succeed in being miles ahead of her fellow musical attendees in the fashion front but also took away two awards, best track and best female.
Hollywood stars were out in force last night for the Carousel of Hope Ball held in Beverely Hills. The big names on the night were Jennifer Lopez who attended alongside her husband Marc Anthony, whom both also provided the entertainment giving a performance.
For the red carpet Jennifer went for her typical A-list glamour in a breathtaking white asymmetric tulle gown from the spring 2010 couture collection by Georges Chakra. Christian Louboutin mesh embroidered pumps finished her look.
Halle Berry also brought the glamour on the red carpet, she was accompanied by her boyfriend Olivier Martinez. Halle chose a red satin asymmetric gown by Yves Saint Laurent with a black satin box clutch also by YSL.
A little bit of colour was present in the front row at Yves Saint Laurent last night in the form of Florence Welch, Claudia Schiffer and Salma Hayek who took their seats, the latter two both brightly clad in red.
Yves Saint Laurent has always been known for his signature pieces, in particular the trench coat and the smoking jacket. For his spring/summer collection Stefano Pilati decided to follow the mantra ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’ and show a plethora of trademark YSL designs modernised and reinvigorated for today’s YSL customer. There were sexy seventies jumpsuits, pussy bow blouse in eye-popping colours and a demure black dress, an evolution of the smoking jacket.
