Nicole Richie In Julien Macdonald - 2011 MOCA Gala

Nicole Richie wowed in a Julien Macdonald Fall 2011 dress at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) Gala in LA.

The high neck, sleeveless gown with a silver feather design & flowy bottom looked beautiful on Nicole, especially that mauve shade of the dress.

She wore it with a wispy bun, kohl-rimmed eyes, a frosty pink lip colour & flower earrings.  A silver clutch and heels were the finishing touches.

Fashion Roundup

At the Vivienne Westwood store launch held in LA, Heidi Klum wore a black dress from the designer's Anglomania collection with no jewelery and slicked back hair - I like.

Zoe Saldana too wore a shorter silver dress from the line, and paired it with colourful heels in true Saldana fashion!

At the premieres/screenings of her new movie, "Source Code" in which she stars with Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Monaghan wore two different dresses. First, a fitted Little White Dress from Versace with pointy nude kitten heels. I like the clean look but wish her hair didn't look so ratty. This look called for a an updo to show off the neckline.

She nailed the second look though, in a wacky yet gorgeous (LOVE the colour) Roksanda Illicinic dress, which she wore with black criss-coss sky-high sandals.

Cameron Diaz looked pretty great at a photocall for her upcoming movie, "Bad Teacher" at CinemaCon. She donned a black Alexander McQueen mini, topping it with a neutral Elizabeth & James blazer and adding a belt by McQueen too. She wore Lanvin heels.

Eva Longoria, at the International Film Festival, held in Mexico wore a pantsuit, with a Julien McDonald blazer and black peeptoes. It's a nice, sharp look but I'm not a big fan of the jacket - the shoulder pads are a bit too much.

Nicky Hilton, spotted at an event in LA wore a scalloped lace white mini with patent nude heels - flawless.

Vanessa Hudgens landed in the worst dressed of the week for me, in this snakeskin monstrosity of an outfit. Nothing about this look works, the dress, the headpiece, not even the seemingly safe black heels!

At the premiere of her first movie, "Soul Surfer", Carrie Underwood wore a nude & black Zuhair Murad dress. It's a little too close to the tone of her skin and the big flower at her hip is so distracting!

Keira Knightley, at the Empire Awards in London wore a sparkly nude dress by Rodarte. I'm not liking this dress much, the design's boring and the way she's done her hair isn't working. Neither are those stark black pumps.

Oscar Parties - Elton John's Bash

Elton John once again hosted a post-Oscars party and here are some of the fashionable faces.

Jenna Ushkowitz wore a plain black column gown with a scoop neck, she accessorised it perfectly with some heavy bangles and rings - it would have been a great look for a laid back kind of event, but as it is, it's not appropriate for an Oscar event and feels very bland.

Hayden Panettiere wore a draped white dress by Luca Luca - and she got it right this time, although the hair is too stiff.

Heidi Klum wore a dazzling (not in the best way) grey Julien McDonald dress - I know Heidi's style is always very all out but the mirrors, sparkles and lame fabric all add to make it look OTT (the glittery silver Louboutins don't help either).

Odette Yustman (from US drama Brothers & Sisters) looked wonderful in simple red Monique Lhuillier gown with a cutout. The pulled back hair and ear-studs help her achieve a clean, sparkling look! (Without any actual sequins/sparkles, listening Heidi?)

Kim Kardashian wore another navy, strapless, mermaid hem gown (this time by J Mendel). She's done this look to death, time to move on Kim.

Emma Roberts too wore a sparkly grey gown, by Jenny Packham - she looks absolutely lovely, no flaws.

The Grammys - Metallics Trend

This past Sunday night saw the Grammy Awards take place in Hollywood and as always, there were some prominent trends to be seen. Metallics were very popular!

Selena Gomez wore a shimmery pale gold gown by J Mendel and looked very elegant in it! She was carrying a Judith Lieber clutch.

Jennifer Lopez' silver Pucci mini was a little too much... a few inches towards the hemline wouldn't have hurt. She wore spikey silver Louboutins.

Heidi Klum looked amazing in a Julien McDonald gown in gold with flowy sleeves - the design is very reminiscent of Taylor Swift's Met Gala gown which she wore in 2010 (it was a Ralph Lauren).

Kim Kardashian looked kind of tacky! The Kaufman Franco dress isn't bad, it just looks bad on her voluptuous body type.
