Kristen and Dakota's Runaway Fashion

Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning are on the road together promoting their new movie, The Runaways. Though I have high hopes for Dakota's style (and am finally starting to 'get' Kristen), I haven't been all that enthusiastic about their red carpet looks, so far.
Kristen is rocking the glam-grunge style, with lots of messy hair, short skirts, sequins and rather a lot of Pucci.
Dakota is going for a more romantic feel. So far her dresses have had a prom-vibe to them, with lots of wide skirts, sweetheart necklines and dainty embellishment.
It's not that I think they're doing a bad job on the red carpet, far from it. But I feel like they're not giving it their all - there's a spark missing.
If they played this the right way they could be are really exciting red-carpet-duo. Think Keira and Sienna when they were promoting The Edge of Love.
I've put together a mood board of what I'm thinking for them:



1. Matthew Williamson dress; net-a-porter.com. 2. Pippa Small bracelet; matchesfashion.com. 3. Floral beaded jacket; topshop.com. 4. Nina Ricci satin trousers; theoutnet.com. 5. Alexander Wang heels; net-a-porter.com. 6. Christian Louboutin Ulona 140 heels; brownsfashion.com. 7. Richmond studded biker; my-wardrobe.com. 8. Raw Applique vest; topshop.com. 9. Elizabeth and James skirt; net-a-porter.com. 10. Bottega Veneta clutch; matchesfashion.com. 11. Lucy Hutchings ring; my-wardrobe.com.

What would you like to see Dakota and Kristen wear on the red carpet?

Demi on the Biggest Chair, Like, Ever

Demi Moore is the April cover-girl for US Harper's Bazaar. It used to be my favourite magazine, but I haven't bought a copy since the Kate Hudson cover. I'm loving Mark Seliger's photos of Demi, though, so I might have to get this issue.
Who knew she was, one, such good friends with Giraffe's? And, two, oh so small?



It looks like she's wearing McQueen's OTT heels whilst talking to the Giraffe - as one does. And I'm loving the nude Fendi's in the image above left. Ashley Olsen recently wore them to the ELLE Style Awards and you can find the black version at Net-A-Porter. They're seriously yummy!


What do you think of Demi's shoot? I like the surreal element, it's rather Alice in Wonderland.

Jen Shuts it Down


No, you're not dreaming. This really is Jennifer Aniston at the premiere of The Bounty Hunter, wearing a dress that... wait for it.... isn't black! She looks better than beautiful. She's absolutely stunning in this Donna Karan dress.
The peachy shade of nude really compliments Jen's Californaia glow, and the way the dress drapes is simply flawless. You can't get much better than a Donna Karan. And I bet this style sells out everywhere today. Jennifer Aniston, unlike Lindsay Lohan, sells to women.

Jennifer should really pull on a bit of colour more often, don't you think? Perhaps it's time she donated all those black halterneck dresses to charity...

Amanda Wears the Isa Dress

Everytime I go on Net-A-Porter to dream shop I always turn to Roland Mouret's Isa dress. I adore the shape and the colour, and if, for some magical reason, I could really shop at Net-A-Porter the Isa would be at the top of my shopping list.
Because of it's bright colour, sexy shape, and, of course, the fact it's RM by Roland Mouret, I knew it would end up on the red carpet. I just wasn't sure who would be the first to wear it. I was hoping it would be one of my red carpet top three - Diane, Thandie or Zoe - but it actually went to Amanda Seyfried.



She wore it to the premiere of Chloe, last night. I think she did a good job (obviously Diane/Thandie/Zoe would have worn it better, though) and is showing she has some fashion-know-how. Especially after her fabulous appearance at the Oscars.
I wonder if she'll get an invite to the Met Gala this year? She was recently in Vogue so you never know...
Do you think she deserves at Met invite? And what do you think of her style?

Also, the Isa would look fab on Dakota Fanning too, don't you think?

Anna Wintour's 1990's Moment

As fashion works in a cycle it was inevitable that the look of the 1990's would have a "moment" again. We've already seen the return of double denim and combat trousers, and now it looks like magazines are going for the 90's vibe too. Jessica Biel's recent US Vogue cover was very reminiscent of the decade, but it's the April cover, with the stunning Gisele Bündchen, that really taps into the 90's mood.



I was lucky enough to get given a stack of old UK Vogue's (some of which were edited by Anna) from the 80's and early 90's, by a friend, and Patrick Demarchelier's image of Gisele really reminds me of those covers. And a little of Baywatch too...
I'm sure there will be some people who don't like this cover - at first I wasn't even that keen - but it's really growing on me. And I wouldn't be surprised if more US Vogue covers have a 90's feel to them this year. Also I can't wait to see what the McQueen feature is like, fingers crossed they've dug out some old editorial images.

What do you think of the cover?

Olivia Palermo Loves Mulberry

I wish Emma Hill would name a Mulberry bag after The City star Olivia Palermo. She already appears to be a big fan of the British accessory label, as she was spotted with the Alexa bag over London Fashion Week. And back home in New York she's still using her trusty Mulberry - and has even added a pair of their moccasin wedges to her wardrobe.



The Alexa is one of my favourite ever Mulberry bags (I really really want one) and Olivia's oak version is a particular favourite of mine. I'm not even an Alex Chung fan, I just really adore this bag.


If Olivia was to have a Mulberry bag named after her, though, how would it look? I'd say it would be more like the Bayswater - very structured and classic, but also very shiny. Because when I saw her at the Unique show she had the glossiest hair ever.

Would you like to see a Mulberry "Olivia" bag?

Hit and Miss of the Week: What Happened to Whitney?

This week hasn't been the most fabulous when it comes to celebrity style. Let's hope it's just because they're recovering from the Oscars and all those fashion week front rows.
Sarah Jessica Parker did make a blue carpet appearance, however, and looked lovely. Whilst Kristen Stewart (a smiling Kristen Stewart, I must add) and Dakota Fanning hit the red carpet for their movie premiere. I'm not loving Dakota's Valentino though...
And Whitney Port was also photographed a lot this week. I really have no idea what is going on with her style. She was amazing in The Hills and ever since she left it's gone down hill. Perhaps she had stylist hiding in the Teen Vogue cupboard with her all those years?
