2013 Art of Elysium Heaven Gala

The annual Art of Elysium Heaven Gala took place in Los Angeles on Saturday night.

Camilla Belle was literally the belle of the ball in one of favourite dresses from the Carolina Herrera Pre-Fall 2013 collection (see my Pinterest here); the hair, the off-shoulder detail, jewels, it was perfection.

Rachel Bilson took me by surprise in a fun, hot pink, animal-print gown from the Valentino Resort 2013 collection. She really didn't need much to make this look pop so straight hair and minimum make-up were enough.

Anna Kendrick also looked colourful in an emerald green, silk cocktail dress by Christian Dior.  I loved her hairstyle but the black pumps felt so stodgy.  

Amber Heard was elegant in a white Valentino Spring 2013 dress with black flowers and full sleeves.  

Julianne Hough was pretty in a braided updo, bright lips and a Jenny Packham gown.

Krysten Ritter wore a light blue dress from the Alberta Ferretti Spring 2013 gown which, to be honest, washed her out.

Kirsten Dunst wore a Louis Vuitton Spring 2013 dress. I thought the checkered gown looked pretty good on her but looked uncomfortable.

Jaime King posed for the cameras in a bright red, full sleeved red gown.

Julianne Hough - She wore a one-shoulder sand coloured jersey gown with black accessories.

Alice Eve - This busy, one-shoulder YSL dress is just not pretty to look at, but also awkward it its length

Camilla Belle In Carolina Herrera - 2012 Art of Elysium Gala

Camilla Belle walked the red carpet at the Art of Elysium Gala wearing a

Carolina Herrera Spring 2012 gown.

The canary yellow gown has a very structured, geometric feel to it which is unexpected from the designer but sadly, the skirt is just a tad messy for my liking.

Camilla's hair & make-up were spot on however (I especially love the bright pink lips with the hue of the dress), and the colour worked wonders on her despite her having dark hair.  She's wearing Ralph Lauren heels and carrying a Ferregamo clutch.

Minka Kelly In Oscar de la Renta - 2012 Art of Elysium Gala

Minka Kelly attended the Art of Elysium Gala in an 

Oscar de la Renta Spring 2012 gown.

Minka doesn't usually do bright, bold colours so this was a nice change.  The chartreuse chiffon gown with a plunging drape front & back and train looked lovely on her.

Some more accessories wouldn't have gone amiss and I wish she'd kept the waist belt that's on the original. I do like her gold Tiffany & Co. clutch though.

Yellow/chartreuse are going to be huge this awards season!  A nice change from the neutral/blush/pink shades that ruled last year (click here & here).

Amber Heard In Donna Karan - 2012 Art of Elysium Gala

Amber Heard walked in and simply shut it down at the Art of Elysium event.

The blonde bombshell wore a rose-gold, sparkly gown by Donna Karan.  This look reminded me of Scarlet Johansson before she got stuck in the sweet dress phase.

Amber's make-up is a little loud, maybe she should have gone easy on the blush but she looks beautiful nonetheless.

Rachel Bilson In Chanel - 2012 Art of Elysium Gala

Rachel Bilson wore a Chanel Spring 2012 dress to the Art of Elysium 'Heaven' Gala.

The pale, pale green confection with fringe and embellished detail is something that screams and yells Chanel and certainly adds interest to the red carpet. 

However, it totally overwhelms the petite actress.

 That being said, she looks fabulous neck up: a gorgeous pinned up hairstyle, a white hard shell Chanel clutch & Casadei heels completed her look.

January Jones In Chanel - 2012 Art of Elysium Gala

January Jones made her first formal appearance since having a baby boy in September of last year.  She wore a Chanel Resort 2012 dress.

The black shift with colour patch sleeves and embellishments was lovely on the 'Mad Men' actress.  She's a part of the celebs who've been favouring a longer bob these days (think Olivia Wilde's new hairstyle - click here).

 She looks great but I'm not feeling much love for her Dolce & Gabbana shoes.

Kirsten Dunst In Valentino - 2012 Art of Elysium Gala

Kirsten Dunst became another actress to wear a Valentino Spring 2012 dress during this awards season.

There isn't a dress that I don't like in this romantic collection from Valentino therefore, unsurprisingly I liked this look too.

Kirsten wore it quite simply, with contemporary straight locks, diamond earrings, oodles of eyeliner, rosy cheeks, and a light pink lip colour.

Sophia Bush In Chris Benz - 2012 Art of Elysium Gala

Sophia Bush wore a dress by designer, Chris Benz.

The ivory and gold coloured silk gown looked sack-like, thanks to the ill-fitting bodice & the bell shaped skirt.  I'm not a fan of the colours either, they're too alike to her skin tone and I'm so over nude dresses.

An updo with curly face-framing bits, gold bangles & a studded gold box clutch were the finished off her look.
