Emma Stone in Elie Saab -

Emma Stone was in London last month to attend the Premiere of her new movie 'The Amazing Spider-Man'. The American beauty has been travelling the world with her co-star and real-life boyfriend Andrew Garfield to promote the Blockbuster.
I wasn't too impressed with Emma's style while promoting in Asia but she picked up the pace when she landed in the UK and did even better in the rest of Europe.

Jumpsuit: Elie Saab Fall 2012

With Emma being fashion's biggest player its no surprise she had access to Elie Saab's Fall 2012 collection, the gorgeous actress chose this black jumpsuit with a heavy embellished deep plunging top half and sleek pants to balance it out. This is the second jumpsuit we've seen from Elie Saab's Fall 2012 collection, with Elizabeth Banks also looking sensational in one. It seems the ladies want something masculine and with these exquisite choices, I can't say I blame them . 

The gorgeous Emma went all out at the first European Premiere with poker-straight blonde locks, grey smokey eyes and a pink lippie. She always looks fantastic and has made a habit out of coordinating her make-up to her outfit, she's always a pleasure to see on the red carpet.

Elizabeth Banks in Elie Saab - 2012 MTV Movie Awards

Elizabeth Banks attended the 2012 MTV Movie Awards earlier this month held at Universal City, California. Elizabeth has been one to watch ever since promotion for 'The Hunger Games' began this March and she's blown us all away with her amazing choices and quite frankly for becoming fashions latest IT girl with designers such as Marc Jacobs giving her first dibs on collections, lucky girl!


Jumpsuit: Elie Saab Fall 2012
Heels: Ruthie Davis 'Beverly' heel


Elizabeth definitely raised the bar for the entire red carpet when she stepped out in this gorgeous Elie Saab Fall 2012 black jumpsuit with lace panels. I absolutely adore this look on her, I love that its so tailored yet edgy and sexy with the lace panels on the edges. Keeping in mind this collection is still fresh as there's only been another outing of it since its runway show, she once again surprised us all with such an interesting choice from a very well known designer. Black heels and a Lulu Guinness clutch completed her look. 

Elizabeth's finishing touches were a high top knot and smokey eye make-up to accentuate her baby blues. I love her hair and make-up...it's oddly appropriate for the jumpsuit, I think this is the best she's ever looked.

Emma Stone In Elie Saab Couture – 5th Annual ESSENCE Black Women In Hollywood Luncheon

Fashion's newest darling, Emma Stone attended the 5th Annual ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon on Thursday evening in support of her 'The Help' co-stars.
The gorgeous red-head will be at tonight's Academy Awards (squeal!) along with many famous faces that I'm dying to see, I just know Emma will impress me because she always does!

Dress: Elie Saab Spring 2012 Couture
Heels: Brian Atwood 'Wagner' Pumps
Clutch: Salvatore Ferragamo

Emma gave us a look at the second red-carpet outing for an Elie Saab Spring 2012 Couture piece. The gorgeous actress wore this ethereal, white embroidered dress with three-quarter length sleeves and a billowy skirt. I'm in love with Elie Saab's Spring 2012 Couture collection so I'm excited that the looks are starting to pop up slowly and with Emma always being flawless, I got my wish! I love the embroidery on the dress, its pure craftsmanship at its best and the white looks so crystal clear that I can't help but wonder how beautiful it must be in real life! 

Emma accessorized with a gorgeous Ferragamo clutch and Brian Atwood heels but a pop of colour would've been nice! A half-up-half-down style was perfect for the cute dress and light taupe eyeshadow and nude lips provided the finishing touches.

Katy Perry in Elie Saab Couture - 2012 GRAMMY Awards

Katy Perry was another exquisitely dressed nominee at last weeks 2012 GRAMMY Awards. The 'California Gurls' singer made a stunning debut to the red carpet scene after her recent divorce from Russell Brand and it seems she's doing well for herself.
She may not have won a Grammy but she did give a great performance of 'Part Of Me' which is a song I've been loving for a while, its good to have Katy back!

Dress: Elie Saab Spring 2012 Couture

Katy became the first to wear an Elie Saab Spring 2012 Couture look on the red carpet much to my surprise. She chose this stunning light blue, three-quarter sleeve dress embellished floral appliqué gown with scoop back and a clinched in waist accented with a simple ribbon. I think the light blue is a phenomenal colour and the embellishment on the dress is classic Elie Saab. She certainly surprised me with this glamorous look but I can't deny she looks great, everything goes perfectly!


Katy completed her look with a high up-do - I have to say though, I'm getting tired of her ever changing hair colours, I wish she would go back to her black hair, can you imagine how amazing this would've look with her raven locks?  Diamond earrings and a pink lip added the finishing touches to her great come back.

Rose Byrne in Elie Saab Couture - 2012 Screen Actors' Guild Awards

'Bridesmaids' actress Rose Byrne attended the 2012 SAG Awards last Sunday held in LA. The pretty Australian drew a few gasps with her outfit of choice and it was one of the most talked about of the night, people either loved that she dared to not stick with tradition while others thought it was completely inappropriate -I for one, adored it which is why she's one of my best dressed.

Jumpsuit: Elie Saab Fall 2009 Haute Couture
Heels: Jimmy Choo 'Vibe' Pumps
Clutch: Jimmy Choo 'Cosmic' Clutch
Jewels: Chanel


Rose wore this stunning fully embroidered white jumpsuit from Elie Saab's Fall 2009 Couture collection with structured shoulders which also had a plunging neckline and waistband to accentuate her tiny waist. I think Rose's daring choice is sensational, the jumpsuit itself is absolutely beautiful it just looks incredibly chic yet very feminine. She accessorized her perfect look with Jimmy Choo heels and clutch - one of the absolute best of the night by far. 

Another eye catching detail was Rose's blunt bob cut with a bold fringe - it couldn't be more perfect, so structured yet it frames her very pretty face amazingly. Flawless make-up and a beaming smile completed the look.

Jessica Biel in Elie Saab Haute Couture - 2012 Golden Globe Awards

Jessica Biel attended the 2012 Golden Globe Awards on Sunday. It was a surprise to see her there but I was so impressed by Jessica's dress that I didn't care about why she was there - she was definitely one of my best dressed overall.

Dress: Elie Saab Fall 2011 Haute Couture
Shoes: Valentino HC Spring 2011 Sandals

Jessica chose this stunning, ivory Elie Saab Fall 2011 Couture gown embroidered with pearls and long sleeves. The gown also had a central split to show of her sexy legs plus I loved the pretty late surrounding it. She looked gorgeous in this gown, its classic Elie Saab: feminine, intricate and sexy - just like Jess! 


The stunning Jessica wore her dark locks in loose waves and her make-up was pretty light with only a little colour on the eyes and a nude gloss. Stunning.

Nina Dobrev in Elie Saab - 2012 People's Choice Awards.

Nina Dobrev attended the 2012 People's Choice Awards on Wednesday as a nominee for 'Best Drama Actress' which she won!
Nina showed up looking stunning in Elie Saab, much to everyone's surprise but I'm so sure that 2012 is going to be the year her fashion status rockets. 

Dress: Elie Saab Spring 2012
Heels: Elie Saab Spring 2012 T-strap Sandals

Nina wore this beautiful Kelly green Elie Saab Spring 2012 dress with lace sleeves and mid-length. This dress screams 'sophisticated' at me, the clean lines with the sexy lace sleeves are stunning on her rocking body plus the colour is perfect for Nina's olive skin. She has really come into her own lately and her next look is just as good. A definite standout at the Awards, I'm obsessed with brunettes in green! 


Nina completed her look with poker straight tresses and a soft smoky eye along with flawless skin. She's so beautiful it hurts!

Blake Lively in Elie Saab - Lady Gaga's Workshop Launch

The gorgeous Blake Lively attended Lady Gaga's Workshop Launch in NY a few nights ago and boy did she look amazing. As soon as I caught a glimpse of Blake's outfit I knew it could only be Mr. Saab - the electric blue gave me tingles and the lace shoulders just made my day, this is Blake's best outfit since her Chanel Couture look at the Green Lantern Premiere...she looks heavenly and got me so excited about fashion again so thank you, Blake!

Suit: Elie Saab Spring 2012

Shoes: Christian Louboutin ''Metalipp'' Pumps


Blake looked sensational in her straight off the runway Elie Saab Spring 2012 suit in a beautiful electric blue colour which suits her tanned complexion perfectly. Its a perfect fit for her, its so feminine while it being a suit - the lace detail and plunge really add the sex appeal that Blake is so famous for while adding understated sophistication. It makes her already slim figure appear flawless, her legs look amazing in the trousers - she's just a goddess although I wish she'd chosen better shoes, a strappy sandal would've been better but whatever, I will remember this for a long time! 


A closer look at Blake's Elie Saab suit shows off that amazing lace detail at the shoulders and that deep plunge which works so well with her perfect figure. I thought she accessorized perfectly with silver Lorraine Schwartz jewellery as it made the blue sparkle even more. I'm so glad she upped the ante by wearing a suit, people expect short/revealing dresses from her but this really made my day when I saw it! 


Blake's hair & make-up was stunning, this is probably the best she's looked recently. A carefree up-do is classic Blake but of course she had to make sure we could see that beautiful lace detail and her eye make-up is amazing, a shimmery navy and peach colours were used to create it, bronzy skin and lipgloss completed it to perfection. She's just glowing in this outfit, I hope she wears this colour again.

Zoe Saldana in Elie Saab - 2011 Latin Grammy Awards

The ever fashionable Zoe Saldana took my breath away a few days ago when I saw her in the following dress - speechless, all I could mutter was 'wow'. 
Fashion's newest heavy weight was wearing a traffic stopping Kelly green Elie Saab gown from the Spring 2012 collection. Zoe was only the second to wear a dress from the collection after Gwyneth Paltrow who ironically, also wore a green dress but lets get it straight, Zoe wore hers a lot better! 

Dress: Elie Saab Spring 2012 Green Sequin Gown


Zoe looked like a billion dollars in this stunning sequin dress, I literally cannot get over how beautiful she looks and how sensational the dress itself looks on her, its probably my favourite Zoe look to date. The crew neck cap sleeve gown also had a thin green belt to accent the waist - the colour is so vibrant and alive on Zoe that it almost blinds me, its magical and completely how this dress should be! If perfection existed, it would be Zoe in this gown!


I've said it before and I'll say it again, green looks better on brunettes - it pains me to say it because I'm blonde and its one of my favourite colours but its the truth, its perfect that Gwyneth who is a blonde wore a green dress too, go compare her to Zoe and you can see it for yourself. Back to Zoe, she didn't over power her dress at all by not wearing jewels (doesn't need them!) and keeping the whole look very minimalist because the dress is such a statement, who ever decided on this dress need a damn Oscar! 


Zoe perfected her look with shiny waves, her hair is the definition of perfection on this occasion and her make-up was smoky and dramatic on the eyes with the rest left muted, with all that green there is no need for any more colour! (Look at the sequins on the dress, *dies inside*).

Venice Film Festival 2011: Diane Kruger in Elie Saab Couture

Something amazing happened on the first day of the Venice Film Festival (VFF), the amazing Diane Kruger showed up to the Premiere of Ides of March in the most exquisite Elie Saab Couture gown...jaw has officially dropped.



Seeing Diane in this masterpiece was truly an amazing moment, I almost shrieked with excitement because of how beautiful she looked and because I'd been dying for some glamour and high fashion these past few days, this provided it! Diane's nude tulle gown has an embellished bodice which was beautifully crafted plus her dress has straps instead of the sheer yoke the runaway version had.


True princess moment and one of the most remember able of Diane's career if you ask me, she was a dream and most definitely the best dressed of the week - mind blowing! 


Diane completed her look with flawless make-up and long flowing waves which are long than she usually has it - maybe she's wearing extensions? Either way, she's a beauty!

Golden Globes 2011: Best Dressed List/Standouts

Gosh I've been gone for ages, I miss this place lol!

Anyway! Award Season is in full after the Golden Globes on Sunday and I couldn't be happier, beautiful people with amazing dresses on the red carpet = perfection! I had quite a few favourites and I'm only going to post the dresses I actually liked,  (what's the point in wasting time with things I don't like?!)

Here we go!

P.S this is in no order but of course I'll make my absolute favourites known!!



  • Milla Jovovich in Armani Privé:


Looking every inch the Hollywood starlet Milla opted for high glamour in Armani Privé who was the preferred designer of the night!

Her hair and make-up were simple yet beautiful, besides she's naturally gorgeous she doesn't even need make-up and she has stunning eyes, I love staring at them lol!




  • Emma Stone in Calvin Klein Collection:


Emma's dress was probably the simplest dress on the red carpet last night and I didn't know she had even attended because all the fashion pages were too busy with the sparkly & sequined stuff and when I saw Emma I thought she looked gorgeous!! Ok so it's almost the simplest dress on Earth but remember this is Calvin Klein we're talking about, he's known for his simple yet elegant dresses..don't be expecting ruffles and sequins! The colour suits her a lot and yeah she's pretty tanned but so what?


I'm loving Emma's blonde hair, she pulls it off very well (I do know she's naturally blonde btw!) as it's a tricky blonde colour. Like most of the other starlets, her make-up was very natural, her hair & dress caught most of the attention! Loved it.





  • Olivia Wilde in Marchesa:

If I was her I'd be showing off those Louboutins too...damn her!

Looking gorgeous in this Marchesa creation, she sure was going for the ball gown type! Her straight hair goes well with the dress, not too fussy as it would've been overkill considering the dress is a showstopper!





  • Sandra Bullocks in Jenny Packham:

Looking stunning in Jenny Packham, Sandra's dress was very feminine and girlie which is a pleasant surprise from her! It looks beautiful!

I'm not too sure of Sandra's fringe, it seems a little stiff on her, as if she can barely see with it! She does look lovely though, nonetheless!




  • Mila Kunis in Vera Wang:
One of the 'Green Goddesses' of the night, she wore this beautiful dress by Vera Wang which looks great against her dark hair and skin. Definitely a memorable dress from the 2011 Golden Globes.

Looking as beautiful as ever Mila's hair was up with a slight quiff and her make-up was quite natural but when you're as gorgeous as her you don't even need make-up!







  • Scarlett Johansson in Elie Saab:


One of my favourites of the night...I can't get over how gorgeous that dress is and how good it looks on Scarlett, kudos to her! This beautiful creation is one of the many reasons I adore Elie Saab, he just knows how to make the most gorgeous, feminine and striking of dresses...I wish I could wear one of his designs one day!

Scarlett just looked like an angel in that dress and her hair & make-up only made that more obvious, in tune with her soft and feminine dress she kept everything else natural too with barely there make-up and softly done up hair.





  • Catherine Zeta-Jones in Monique Lhuillier: 

Another 'Green Goddess', this was one of my standout dresses of the night, the colour is just amazing and it looks fantastic on Catherine, I think deep greens or green in general looks better on dark brunettes and redheads rather that blonde's (not always just most of the time!). A definite triumph for Catherine, God does she ever not look good though?!

Ever the beauty she paired her gorgeous dress with a little green eyeshadow on her lower line and kept the top half slightly darker with false lashes and lots of liner, lovely!





  • January Jones in Versace:

Is anyone else not surprised that January is wearing Versace? Yeah..I didn't think so. Don't take it the wrong way though, I LOVE it! I love the red on red, it especially looks good on blonde's, January looks like a bombshell! She might be revealing a lot of skin but so what, she's sexy enough to do so.

January is a classic beauty in my eyes, her face is very unique and she can easily transform to a beautiful woman in the 40's/50's, I don't even watch Mad Men but she's definitely on my radar now! Her hair and make-up are perfection, probably my favourite of the night!




  •  Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace: 

Well wasn't this a surprise? Who would've thought Angelina Jolie would turn up in a sequined green dress, not me that's for sure! She's the last of my 'Green Goddesses' and of course I saved the best for last! The colour once again is very striking against her brunette tresses although I would've preferred a tighter fit and less emphasis on the shoulders for the dress as it makes her look a little heavy on top but other than that, it's gorgeous, a definite favourite!

Still the most beautiful woman alive, Angelina's hair and make-up don't disappoint! She had a soft smoky eye complete with false lashes and a peachy glossy lip, her hair was simply down with a few waves here and there but definitely not over styled. Ugh I just love her!




  • Christina Aguilera in Zuhair Murad:

And there was me expecting Christina in Versace! It's a lovely surprise though, her Zuhair Murad lace gown is gorgeous and she definitely stood out from the crowd. I definitely prefer Christina's Zuhair Murad choice rather than J-Lo's who's dress was a little on the weird side. 5/5 for Ms Aguilera!

Never one to leave home without her red lips Christina doesn't disappoint make-up wise, it's just a simple winged liner and not a lot of make-up on the face. I like her hair too, she should stick to this kind of length for now or tone down the bleach, I'd prefer to see her in a natural looking blonde colour than this heavily bleached one. Still, she looks lovely!





  • Anne Hathaway in Armani Privé:

One word to describe Anne? PERFECTION is that word! I nearly died when I saw this amazing/beautiful/stunning dress on her, she just looks like a million dollars! That amber tone dress is just heavenly and Anne's statuesque like body goes perfectly with it, I fell in love with this look from the moment I saw it!


And since she was all covered up in the front it's only right that her back gets some exposure. I can't get over this dream of a dress..I can't wait to see what Anne wears next!

Looking as beautiful as ever, Anne's make-up is fresh with a slight smoky eye and everything else is kept natural..she's just too gorgeous to even need make-up! Also I really love her hair, the highlites give her something different to work with and suit her a hell of a lot!
I think Anne's dress was my favourite along with the next attendee...




  • Leighton Meester in Burberry Prorsum:

Lat but not least we have my love, Leighton Meester! She was the attendee I was most excited about and she didn't disappoint! She wore this gorgeous nude dress from the Pre-Fall 2011 Collection by Burberry Prorsum, I was quite surprised she wore them but wow she looked beautiful!

Doesn't she just look heavenly? She certainly knows how to accessorise her dress, she's wearing Cathy Waterman jewels, a Louis Vuitton clutch and stunning Jimmy Choos'! She and Anne were the best dress of the night for me, the nude dresses won me over!

I can never get over how beautiful Leighton is and her appearance at the Golden Globes only proved me right! Her hair was softly up a little at the back without risking the 'over done' look which some others had..then again Leighton is never one to over do it with her hair or make-up! Her make up was gorgeous, I love it when she does a smoky eye as it enhances her amazing brown eyes, her lip was a matte peachy colour and overall her make-up was a favourite of mine.
I just love her even more after this!





So that's it you guys, those were my standouts from this years Golden Globes. I'm happy with my choices and I can't wait for the SAG Awards now and the Grammy, recording artists always have the craziest outfits! And of course the Academy Awards are what everyone waits for but those a little over a month away so..roll the next few ones!


Top 4 Looks:

1) Leighton Meester - Burberry Prorsum
2) Anne Hathaway - Armani Privé
3) Scarlett Johansson - Elie Saab
4) January Jones - Versace
