Alaia, Lanvin and Tom Cruise

Last night the world premiere of Knight and Day took place in Seville. I expected Cameron Diaz to easily upstage Katie Holmes on the red carpet, as Cameron never puts a foot wrong, but last night Katie was on top form in a white Azzedine Alaia dress. Katie wears Armani 95% of the time so Alaia was a lovely surprise, and I think she looked absolutely gorgeous.



Cameron didn't exactly disappoint as she looked lovely in a dark grey Lanvin dress (paired with those Lanvin heels) but I hated her choice of lipstick which made her look a little clown-ish.
I hope Knight and Day has more than one premiere (it's sure to go to LA and London, right?) as it would be lovely to see some more of Cameron on the red carpet. I think Katie won this round, but I can't wait to see what Cameron wears next. Maybe some Chanel?

Who was your best dressed last night? Katie or Cameron?

Emma's Three Steps to Wardrobe Success

I've always been a fan of Julia Roberts (you seriously can't beat Pretty Woman) so it's little surprise I've quickly taken to her niece, Emma Roberts. It's been great to see Emma go down her own path, and it looks like she has a very promising career ahead of her. On the style side of things Emma is looking strong too. At the 2009 Met Gala she stood out from seasoned red carpet pros in a sequined Versace mini, and has been on a roll since.
Emma has been pushed into the 'young Hollywood' pack along with the likes of Dakota Fanning, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Momsen, so there's a lot of style competition around. But she appears to have developed a fail-safe look of her own which should keep her on the best dressed lists.


For the red carpet Emma sticks to youthful minis in neutrals. She's been spotted in a Temperley LWD and wore a Marni LBD to the Met Gala this year. Emma is also a fan of Jenny Packham, selecting one of her designs for the Valentines Day premiere.


When it comes to accessories Emma is pretty bold - pairing a Chanel tattoo with a flirty frock. And the clutch she took to the London premiere of SATC 2 was gorgeous, I'm still lusting after it.


And though I haven't seen much of Emma's casual style yet I've fallen in love with her collection of sunglasses. Aviators are a classic and the bright red pair are a lot of fun. Let's just ignore the less than desirable ciggie though...

What do you think of Emma's style so far?

The Arty Obsession

A year ago I wouldn't have described myself as someone who cares much for jewelry. I always forget to wear earrings, rarely wear necklaces and I can never find bracelets small enough for my mini little wrists. But last April I got a YSL Arty ring for my birthday, and everything changed.
I am completely obsessed with the Arty rings (I've since bought a second) and can spot them a mile away. Anyone who checks Net-A-Porter on a daily basis will know they've stocked up on YSL rings this week. I sadly won't be adding a third Arty to my collection any time soon, but that doesn't mean I'm not constantly looking for gorgeous gems. These rings have all caught my eye recently:

Are you into statement cocktail rings too? What is your current jewelry obsession?

Eva Mendes Covers W Magazine



You know I adore W magazine, and the July 2010 cover actually blows my mind. It's their best cover all year, by miles. I've always thought Eva Mendes was one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood (she has classic movie star sex appeal) so her W cover is really just the cherry on the well-iced-cake.
On the cover she plays up to her sex-symbol status in a very boobilicios Miu Miu dress while the editorial has a touch of Sophia Loren's look. My two favourite images are below.



You can read Eva's W interview, and view the full editorial HERE. As always I'll wait until I have the magazine in my hands to read the article, because opening a shiny new magazine is one of the few true pleasures left in life.

Do you like the look of Eva's cover and editorial? And who would you like to see on a W cover next? I'm crossing my fingers for Coco Rocha or Karlie Kloss.

Thank God They're Not Clogs

Ever since Karl Lagerfeld sent clogs onto the S/S Chanel runway the clumpy little wooden shoes have been unavoidable. Personally I don't dislike them on others - I've seen some women dressed brilliantly in clogs - but I don't want to wear a pair myself. Thankfully three of Hollywood's best dressed ladies have developed shoe obsessions of their own, giving us lots of alternative styles to swoon over...


Sarah Jessica Parker and the Extreme Heel: SJP took these gorgeous Kirkwood heels everywhere with her as she promoted SATC2. Though they make enough of a statement on their own Sarah bravely paired them with animal prints and a look from the Proenza Schouler Fall collection.

Rachel Bilson and the Nude Wedge: Even those with little interest in fashion know that nude is a huge colour trend right now, and Rachel gets in on the look with these Rag & Bone 'Victoria' wedges. They stand out beautifully against Rachel's black tights but I think they'd look just as good with bare legs.

Diane Kruger and the Investment Shoe: I don't know a single woman who doesn't adore Lanvin, so any piece from the collection is a great investment. Diane clearly loves her 'Sunbeam' heels, as she not only has the snakeskin pair but also invested in the black pair, which she wore to the National Movie Awards. The chain detail is very chic.

Who do you think has the best taste in shoes? And which heels are you dreaming of this S/S?

Hit and Miss of the Week: Olsen's Birthday

It's been a rather interesting week in the land of celebrity. As you all probably know, Lindsay Lohan is having issues with her SCRAM bracelet, which was set off the night of the MTV Awards. At the time of this incident she was wearing a sequin embellished, flared jumpsuit - reason enough to drink, I'd say.
And it didn't stop there, as this week Catherine Zeta Jones continued her one-woman-show, Look at my Crazy Hats. I'm obsessed with Catherine's wardrobe right now, and all for the wrong reasons.
And speaking of wardrobe obsession, you know that nobody inspires me like the quite like the Olsen twins do; and today is their birthday. Their outfits this week were in no means their best ever, but as it's their birthday it's only fair to have a look at Mary-Kate and Ashley's wardrobes this week. Happy birthday MK and Ashley!
