OMG I Spot A Trend! - Black and White Dresses
Wednesday, 19 March 2008
Jay Godfrey featured some gorgeous black and white dresses in his Spring 2008 Collection, one was even worn by starlet Kristen Bell. Since then, many other starlets have been photographed in a range of little black and white dresses and it's beginning to become a trend!
Katie Holmes wore a black and white check draped Alexander McQueen dress to the Essence Magazine Luncheon last month. She added a dash of subtle colour with purple peep toes and looked uber sophisticated.
Ashanti was at 106 & Park last month where she wore a v-neck black and white check dress. The peep hole and the pencil shape of the dress made it look sexy as did the black platforms and waist belt. I love how her hot pink lip gloss pops next to the monochrome outfit!
Showing that check isn't the only wear to do the black and white dress trend, Australian actress Rose Byrne wore a feminine black and white print dress to the Red Bull Season Launch Party in Melbourne, Australia last week. This is my fav black and white dress! It's so floaty and pretty.
I love love love her metallic pink skinny waist belt and matching clutch not to mention her gorgeous round toe black pumps. I wish she would have brushed her hair though!
Cold Case star Kathryn Morris wore a printed black and white dress earlier this month to the Alliance for Children's Rights Awards Gala. The shift dress had an inbuilt black buckle belt detail around the waist. Kathryn brightened up the look with red lipstick and matching pointed red courts for a bold look.
Finally, Naomi Watts wore a strappy black and white dress whilst appearing on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno last week and looked super stylish. The A-lister accessorised with a skinny black waist belt and gorgeous strappy black shoes. She kept everything else simple and looked beautiful!
I love the black and white trend and I think Rose and Katie pulled it off best by managing to make it look soft and chic.
What do you think of the trend??
The 2008 BAFTAS - Best Dressed!
Sunday, 10 February 2008
L-R: Jessica Biel, Natascha McElhone, Thandie Newton and Sienna Miller
It's not just the world of music celebrating tonight! As well as the Grammy's, the BAFTAs (British Academy Film and Television Awards) are being held tonight too, in London.
Some of the most gorgeous gowns on the red carpet were in classic black.
Jessica Biel wore a classic strapless black Dior gown with a glamorous train, British actress Natascha McElhone looked great in a frilly strapless black gown, Sienna Miller looked grown-up and not at all her usual hippy self in a black Christian Dior Spring 2008 gown with plunging neckline and an open back, and my favourite was Thandie Newton who looked sexy in a silky black Alexander McQueen Spring 2008 gown with a sheer sleeve and a pink waist belt.
L-R: Keira Knightley, Rosamund Pike, Kate Hudson and Marion Cotillard
I also loved Keira Knightley's strapless silver tiered Valentino Spring 2008 Couture gown and Kate Hudson's dramatic metallic gold gown. She looked so much like Goldie Hawn tonight too!
And opting for shorter dresses were Rosamund Pike in a blue RM by Roland Mouret dress which I thought looked gorgeous but understated, and Marion Cotillard who wore a glamorous and sparkly silver Chanel Fall 2007 Couture dress with a matching white cape. She's everywhere these days!
Now we just have to wait for the Grammy's!

Oh wow! How glamorous does the delicious Lucy Liu look arriving at the Late Show with David Letterman yesterday?!
The petite actress looked amazing in a stand out cream funnel-neck coat with cape sleeves and her metallic gold bag, but then she took off the coat to reveal a bold hot pink dress from the Alexander McQueen Spring 2008 Collection and long leather gloves.
What a diva! Do you love it??

The Jennifers Steal the Show at Movies Rock 2007
Monday, 3 December 2007
Singer/actresses Jennifer Hudson (left) and Jennifer Lopez (right) dazzled at the Movies Rock 2007 event in L.A. last night.
J-Hud looked radiant in a gorgeous, black Michael Kors jumpsuit from his Autumn 2007 collection. She wore the strapless all-in-one suit with a patent waist belt, a long silver necklace and silver peep toes for a style totally different to the sea of dresses seen at the event!
J-Lo on the other hand complimented her beautiful new pregnant shape in a white, chiffon empire waist gown from the Versace Spring 2008 Resort collection. The dress was a very stylish one shoulder style and matched her pregnancy glow and beaded gold clutch perfectly.

Little black dresses were, as always, a huge trend! Eve (far left) chose a knee length, strappy satin version with a little waist belt and black tights. I love the dress and the cute peep toes but the hat shoulda been left at home and the tatts look cheap!
Fergie (second left) went for a daring Dolce and Gabanna dress with lace up sides and fitted bustier though I think a plain clutch and an up-do woulda made the overall look less busy.

The gorgeous Nicole Scherzinger (second right) looked lovely and polished in a black bandeau pencil dress with black peep toes and black nail polish. She looks nice but it'd be good to see her be more daring with her fashion choices, she wore a black pencil dress to the American Music Awards last month too.
Finally, looking adorable in a black mini dress from the Gucci Spring 2008 collection and black tights was actress Kate Hudson (far right). The shape of the strapless dress is very now with the nipped in waist and slightly flared skirt, as are the pointed black courts and the red clutch is perfect for a splash of colour. Overall its a very young fun look!
But the event wasn't all black and white! Oh no! Some stars chose to brighten up the "blue carpet" in some bold coloured gowns.
The lovely Beyonce (far left) was finally back to her brown hair again (woohoo! She listened lol) and was looking so much better. She stood out in a figure hugging, emerald coloured fish-tail gown by Zac Posen with gold accessories.
Also in a green and gold was Mary J Blige (far right) who showed up in a loose, strapless green chiffon gown by Alexander McQueen. I love her statement gold necklace but it would like better without the gold hoop earrings. But as for the bason cut hair - what can I say??! It's awful!
Emmy Rossum (second left) looked sugar sweet in a candy pink fitted, knee-length dress. Her usual brown curls, were loosened into lovely soft waves, and like most of the other celebs, she accessorised in gold.
Finally, we have Carrie Underwood (second right) who is moving up in the style stakes lately. She wore my favourite dress of the night, a stunning floor length red dress with a gold corseted waist and a plunging neckline. She got everything right from her delicate, gold drop earrings, her gold cuff bracelet and her champagne coloured clutch bag, to her soft natural looking up do. The night's style winner without a doubt!
