Pink...that's also what girls are made of. Rosa, Rose, Ruusu, Roos, Rosado, Momoiro, Ruz, Pinc, Roza, Roseus. We all are.
With Prince William at the Olympic Gala
Duchess Kate never fails to impress. At the London hotel Claridge, in her floor-length creamy white gown by Roland Mouret, she was a sight to behold…At the Friday gala, to show her support for the Olympic Games, the duchess was simply stunning in a teal Jenny Packham gown. She was wearing the same Jimmy Chooheals she wore with the white gown earlier this week…who says a duchess needs 3000 pairs of shoes if she can carry one with utmost regality, paired with a hundred dresses?
Lovely lace-detailed back.
The Duchess of Cambridge carried a matching teal clutch and wore her hair in a sophisticated chignon. Having her hair in a braided up ‘do -a move away from her usual loose hairstyle, was a good choice as it gives a view of the intricate-lace back. Gotta love those buttons down the middle. ^_^
At the night of the Met Ball, many sported dark, rich, wine-stained lips. Kate Bosworth in her custom-made Prada mini-dress matched the look with a dark, vampy statement lip.
Jessica Alba , Lana del Rey and Jessica Chastain added to their volume-y waves with dark, sultry lips. In Lana’s case she took the look one step up with matching long, curved, statement nails and gothic cape.
Leighton Meester and Camilla Belle , both wearing sparkly metallic gowns, top their looks with dark, wine-hued lipstick.
Vidal Sassoon with movie poster.
British hairdresser dubbed “a rock star, an artist, [and] a craftsman who ‘changed the world with a pair of scissors,’” Vidal Sassoon died at his home in Los Angeles yesterday. Many celebrities, models and people in the industry were saddened by the news…John Barrett of the John Barrett Salon at Bergdorf Goodman said that Sassoon “was the creator of sensual hair. This was somebody who changed our industry entirely, not just from the point of view of cutting hair but actually turning it into a business. He was one of the first who had a product line bought out by a major corporation.”
Sassoon single-handedly built an empire with geometrical, angular takes on the classic bob haircut becoming a pioneer in modern hairstyling. Among his famous, cut – influenced by the Bauhaus designs he had studied – was a classic “bob” for fashion designer Mary Quant, Mia Farrow’s short pixie cut for Rosemary’s Baby.
Vogue creative director Grace Coddington was quoted saying “He changed the way everyone looked at hair.” Quant on the other hand called him the Chanel of Hair.
He is survived by wife, Ronnie, and children from a previous marriage.
It is never boring to pick favorites from every red carpet event, here’s mine from the recent Met Gala.
Funny and Sexy....deadly combi.
Sofia’s witty and funny antics make me so fond of her that I always look out for her during red carpet events…doesn’t she look stunning in this peplum gray/silver dress? Gotta love that smile too!
Scarlett Johansson wore a Dolce&Gabbana dress with Christian Louboutin heels and accessorized with a Judith Leiber clutch and Fred Leighton earrings. I would have loved her with an updo or a low chignon than a loose crown though.
Nina Dobrev in flawless makeup and shimmering eyeshadow.
‘The Vampire Diaries’ star Nina Dobrev was totally mesmerizing in a Donna Karan Atelier gown. The gown has asymmetric shoulder straps, super long train and criss cross open back which she paired with gold peep-toe heels. Even her hair and makeup where flawless!
Prada in-love Carrey Mulligan.
Carey Mulligan acting as honorary co-chair alongside designer Miuccia Prada and US Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour wore a silver-gold fish-scale like ensemble from Prada, her favorite and trademark.
The Costume Institute Ball, held yearly for the annual opening of the Metropolitan Museum (the Met) in New York is also a parade of beauty, gowns and fashion icons. For this post let’s focus on the attendants all hailing the name Jessica.
Jessica Alba shines not in gold but bronze!
The 31-year-old mom of two rocked a one-shoulder Michael Kors gown with Roger Vivier‘s “Pilgrim Coeur” clutch and Wilfredo Rosado jewelry. Her vampy lips is one of the many at trend that night.
Is it just me or does Jessica really look older here?
Jessica Biel, 30, donned an ivory satin Prada dress adorned with jade green stones and Lorraine Schwartz earrings, while 31-year-old hubby-to-be Justin went for a Tom Ford tuxedo with a satin bow tie and leather boots.
Another Jessica in a blue LV gown.
Jessica Chastain, arrived clad in a fabulous blue Louis Vuitton dress with jewels from Harry Winston. There are mixed views about the ensemble but I think she nailed it.
Jessica Pare also in bronze.
Mad Men star Jessica Pare looked stunning in her shimmering L’Wren Scott gown. It does look fabulous in her svelte figure and that winning smile tops it all off.
Supermodel Jessica in Dior Haute Couture
Jessica Stam wears John Galliano for Dior Haute Couture and with her stature truly brought out the beauty in it. Her makeup particularly the eyes that matched the gown’s color is stunning as well and yes, gotta love her accessories.
Sarah Jessica Parker with her designer partner Valentino
Wallpaper? That seems to be the impression that Jessica gave donning a floral gown. We know she herself is a style icon but yes, we don’t know what happened last night. ^_^
