Best Dressed of the Week: Nicole Kidman (right?!) in Valentino

May 24, 2013

Without a doubt, there have been some mesmerizingly beaaauutiful gowns at Cannes this year, but I just had to post Nicole Kidman as best dressed because I haven’t seen her look this good and this her (namely, tall, sexy, goddess, gorgeousness) in aaaaages. She did herself a favor by ditching her typical L’wren Scott (who I so admire, don’t get me wrong) gowns and opting instead for Valentino fit for a queen. The mock neck, the texture, the train — all of this could read bridal or overdone on a smaller frame or less statuesque of a chick. But no, she looks like royalty. Which is exactly why I now pronounce her Queen of Cannes (at least this year).

Best Dressed of the Week: Jessica Alba in Mary Kantrantzou

March 25, 2013

The Kids Choice Awards annual ~~orange~~ purple carpet is one of my favorites – randomness abounds and you get celebs intentionally going for fun. YAY! While Kristen Stewart (but mostly her legs) looked amazing in a haute shorts and top set and Victoria Justice picked a super rad body con patterned mini dress that I loved, Jessica Alba smeared on the class as if it it was slime in a Mary Kantrantzou postage stamp dress, bow-tipped Louboutins and a mint-trimmed faux snakeskin Stella McCartney clutch. Glowy makeup and orange nails were pretty and playful sprinkles on a delicious fashion cupcake.

Best Dressed of the Week: Michelle Williams in Burberry Prorsum

March 1, 2013

Pulling off a mid-length dress isn’t always easy, but the petite actress Michelle Williams made it look sleek and easy at the London premiere of her latest film, Oz: The Great and Powerful. Michelle rocked a stunning emerald and cobalt feathered sweetheart, belted sheath from Burberry Prorsum along with heightening, funky Jimmy Choo shoes. Simple makeup, a strong side part, and a single Solange Azagury-Partridge ring kept the look all about her and this sexellent fashion moment. Flaunt those feathers, girl!

Best Dressed of the Week: Michelle Obama in Jason Wu

January 27, 2013

I tried to find a better dressed woman this week. But there is just no way to top Michelle Obama’s Inauguration gown in a chiffon and velvet crimson red custom Jason Wu gown. WOW. I love the way the halter accentuates her stunning shoulders and the flowy ease of her body in the red waves of the diaphanous chiffon. The arm of bangles and her brand new bangs brought appreciated modernity and solidified the look as one of a goddess. An American Goddess! Which, wait, OMG, IDEA! What if…what if there was a way for Jason Wu to redesign the Statue of Liberty to be exactly this? Because I promise, this is what freedom looks like – gleaming, bright, beautiful and free-flowing. sigh.

Best Dressed of The Week: Naomi Watts

January 11, 2013

It’s dresses like these that make me so so so excited. Simple. Refined. Elegant. Fashionable. Not trying too hard. Eye-catching, not flashy. Naomi Watts took my pick as Best Dressed at both the People’s Choice Awards in a modern and elegant gold sequin and matte black column Alexander McQueen gown as well as at the Critic’s Choice Awards in a mesh and silk strapless black Emilio Pucci black gown. In both looks, she adds hints of color near her face to ensure the above the waist photos are as perfect as the full-length. her makeup is simple and elegant, clean and easy! Love. YAY!

Kim Kardashian’s Fashion Forward Picks are Kinda (But, No, REALLY) Backwards

January 2, 2013

WARNING: This is a rant.

Once upon a time, I had no beef with Kim Kardashian. I thought she had great taste and respected her climb in the fashion world. She worked! Hard! She had help, sure (don’t we all?), but I’ve met her several times over the years and she’s nothing short of pleasant, sweet, quick-witted and thoughtful.

What Miranda Lambert SHOULD be Wearing!

December 6, 2012

OH NO! Really? NOOOOO. Not Miranda! Not my favorite kick ass country star! This is a girl who is honest and brash and gorgeous, and naturally so! I’ve been privileged to experience her earthiness in concerts and adore her artistry. She’s not someone attempting to be anyone other than herself! But by the looks of her latest red carpet appearance, I’m sups confused. Is she an 80s Dynasty star and I just don’t know it? Did I miss a bit of news?

Best Dressed of the Week: Allison Williams in Peter Som

November 25, 2012

I get very excited when any of the Girls cast members go to a party. They dress for their age, which is to say daringly, uniquely and fascinatingly. Which makes Allison Williams at the CFDA dinner an easy call for Best Dressed. Attending the fashion-folk-only fete on the arm of designer Peter Som, she picked one of his powder pink teal-length sheath dresses from his super flirty Spring 2013 collection.

Best Dressed of The Week: Carrie Underwood in Tsemaye Binitie

November 2, 2012

I think Carrie Underwood has great taste, but I tend to nit pick her choices for fit and proportion issues. She has short legs, but somehow, doesn’t hem her pieces to accommodate that. She wore some beautiful pieces while hosting the Country Music Awards last night, but she hit a home run when she performed in Tsemaye Binitie‘s high-low gown customized just for her (hence, no reason to pick apart proportion).
