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.

Camilla Belle in Monique Lhuillier - W Magazine and Dom Perignon’s 2013 Pre-Golden Globes Party

Camilla Belle was seen at the Chateau Marmont for the W Magazine event.

I'm not sure she event acts any more, but she sure looks good.  For the event, Camilla donned a sparkly gold dress from the Monique Lhuillier Pre-Fall 2013 collection.  

She styled it with wavy hair, an Edie Parker clutch and Stuart Weitzman sandals.

Camilla Belle in Jason Wu - Samsung Galaxy Note Launch

Camilla Belle was in attendance at the launch of the latest Samsung Galaxy Note which was held in New York City last Wednesday.

For the evening, Camilla chose a very lady-like little navy dress from the lovely Jason Wu Resort 2013 collection.  The sleeveless dress featured a waist band and a white floral design with embroidery and embellishments in the hemline.

The dress was pretty and safe but I would have liked to see something edgier; maybe separates which included pants of some sort.  

Camilla wore the dress with bold eye make-up, a Jimmy Choo acrylic clutch and Brian Atwood heels which didn't particularly go with the dress.  I would have saved this dress for a luncheon of some sort.

Camilla Belle in Ralph Lauren - 2012 Met Ball

Camilla Belle arrived, dripping in silver at the 2012 Met Ball.

She was stunning in a silver Ralph Lauren Spring 2012 dress with an illusion neckline.  She was one of the key trendsetters in terms of her vampy make-up.  

One of my favourites by far.

Camilla Belle in Carven - 2012 Tribeca Film Festival Awards

Camilla Belle brightened up the red carpet at the Tribeca Film Festival Awards, held at the Conrad Hotel in NYC.

It was a colourful, printed Carven Fall 2012 dress for her, worn with red Christian Louboutin pumps.

Some might not like this dress for being bold and bright but I have a never ending love affair with colours.  I loved the combination of Camilla's dark locks with this dress.

Camilla Belle in Prada - Chanel Artists Dinner at the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival

Camilla Belle prettied up in a Prada dress at the Chanel Artists Dinner at the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival.

I think she forgot the 'Chanel' part of this event.  Nevertheless, she looked pretty good in the crochet Prada Spring 2012 dress with three-quarter sleeves and dark blue flower appliques.

Curled hair, lots of blue eye-shadow and navy pumps completed her look, along with a Louboutin clutch.

Camilla Belle in Jason Wu - 'The Five-Year Engagement' NYC Premiere

Camilla Belle wore a Jason Wu Fall 2012 dress to the NYC premiere of 'The Five-Year Engagement' on Wednesday night.

As usual she killed it.  The gold dress with black accents, a high neck and a keyhole was phenomenal on her.

A bombshell updo, hoop earrings, a Jason Wu clutch and Sergio Rossi heels completed her look.

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.

Camilla Belle In Oscar de la Renta - The Andrea Bocelli Foundation Launch

Camilla Belle wore a gorgeous Oscar de la Renta Spring 2012 dress to the launch of a charity foundation in Beverley Hills.

The sequin & tassel adorned black dress is just so glamorous & beautiful!

Camilla wore it with a signature updo, hoop earrings, red lipstick & ankle-strap Gucci heels.

Camilla Belle In Monique Lhuillier

For the opening of a Chopard boutique in California,  Camilla Belle picked a Monique Lhuillier Spring 2012 dress.

The hot pink, sleeveless dress with a crew-neck, shimmery bodice & black belt looked sensational on Camilla.  It's an unexpected colour and she totally worked it.

Camilla wore her hair down and also wore a matching shade of lip colour; she appropriately wore a diamond cuff, earrings & a cocktail ring along with satin pumps.

Camilla Belle In Gucci - LACMA's Art & Film Gala

Camilla Belle was also in attendance at the LACMA event, wearing a fresh off the runway, Spring 2012 Gucci dress.

 

Camilla totally owned this look.  I literally cannot find a flaw.

 

Love the dress, the hair, the make-up and  the shoes.

Jessica Alba & Camilla Belle - An Evening With Ralph Lauren

Spotted: Jessica Alba & Camilla Belle, at the event 'An Evening With Ralph Lauren', at the Lincoln Centre in NYC.

Both wore Ralph Lauren Fall 2011 collection pieces (one of my favourite Fall collections this year).

Jessica wore a velvet dress with an embellished bust; the look is classic and Jess wore it the right way, with chandelier diamond earrings, an elegant updo, red lips and a red clutch from the collection (and of course, red nails!).

Camilla Belle was also wearing a Ralph Lauren gown, from the Fall 2011 collection.

The figure-hugging gown with sheer shoulders, a beaded bodice & an embellished train was stunning on Camilla.

She wore her hair in a sleek side parted bun and finished off with diamond earrings, deep pink lips and diamond bracelets.

Fashion Roundup

At the premiere of 'Margin Call', Demi Moore wore a taffeta silk printed dress by Zac Posen; her hair was left straight and down and she wore Brian Atwood pumps.  The dress looked great on her.

Zoe Saldana was at a Motorola do, in a cool outfit consisting of black separates by Barbara Bui.  So effortless!

Elizabeth Olsen was spotted in a layered blue ensemble (Preen Fall 2011) at a film festival.  I love her multi-print skirt & the patent grey booties but the high collared blue top, worn with the busy necklace isn't working at all.

Emma Roberts went the 60's glitzy way at a Swarovski event - the burnt orange Miu Miu minidress was paired with black tights, Miu Miu platform sandals, sparkly earrings and a messy ponytail by the actress.  

Olivia Palermo attended a store opening in Italy in a mix & match outfit: a printed blue Tibi top, tucked into a floaty sheer skirt, topping it with a fur gilet & finishing off with lace-up heels.

Camilla Belle wowed in Salvatore Ferregamo at an event for the label. I love the silver flapper-inspired dress which Camilla wore with cap-toe pumps, and a matching minaudiere.

Jennifer Hudson looked fabulous in a form-fitting Elie Tahari ensemble.  The singer/actress wore the digital print top & tweed pencil skirt at a NYC dinner.


Olivia Wilde attended the LA event, honoring the CFDA Fashion Fund finalists in a paisley-print pink dress, topping it with a crimson Schumacher coat and adding contrasting electric blue heels & clutch to the look.

Katie Holmes attended a Marie Claire party, wearing a draped, navy Carven dress with black tights & Mary Janes.  She kept her hair simple (& glossy!) and wore diamond studs.  But I wish she'd worn a statement necklace with the dress, it would have taken her look to the next level!


Evan Rachel Wood disappointed once again, wearing a dull black Emilio Pucci dress & jacket to the London premiere of 'Ides of March'.  She tried adding colour via the satin pumps & red lips but I just hate the dress.

The adorable Dianna Agron was also at the CFDA do, wearing a plunge neck Libertine dress with wavy hair & pointy black pumps.  Only Dianna could wear such a low-cut dress and still look cute!


Whitney Port attended the Global Fashion Awards, in an azure coloured silk Matthew Williamson gown.  She matched the embellished details of the dress with dangly earrings & wore her hair in a top-knot.

Polo Style

Spotted: Camilla Belle & Zoe Saldana, at the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic, held in LA yesterday.

Both wore cute, printed dresses: Camilla in Ralph Lauren and Zoe in Jason Wu.

Camilla Belle in Gucci

Camilla Belle was spotted last week, in a printed knit dress from the Gucci Resort 2011 collection.

On someone else, this dress wouldn't have worked but on Camilla it's great.

Gold earrings, black clutch and black Mary-Janes completed her look.  The hair-style isn't amazing but she's still working it.

Fashion Roundup

Starting off the fashion roundup this week with lace!

Sarah Jessica Parker was seen at an event in Shanghai, China, in this fabulous white Elie Saab dress with a matching jacket. The white shoes in her case totally work.

Emma Stone once again played around with designers, in this green Dolce & Gabbana sheath, adding interest with her animal-print Brian Atwoods and red lips.

Charlize Theron made an appearance at Comic Con in San Diego, wearing a chic casual outfit consisting of a sparkly top, topped with a white blazer and skinny jeans.

Jessica Alba is at it again, rocking pregnancy chic that is. She looked radiant in a Dolce & Gabbana maxi dress, worn with smokey eyes!

Camilla Belle made a simple Dolce & Gabbana LBD pop in Spain with those eye-catching heels (Aperlai?)

Ashley Tisdale celebrated her birthday (once again) in Vegas in a cream coloured mini, toughening it up with black ankle boots. I really hate the idea of chunky boots in the summer so this is a thumbs down.

Hilary Duff was spotted shopping in LA in the popular embellished Isabel Marant jacket. She wore hers with red earrings, Ray Bans, black skinnies, and black pumps. It's a nice look but lacks that effortless chic touch.

Rihanna stepped out in NYC this week sans bottoms. She paired the shirt-dress with Prada shoes; it's a bold choice... but then, it's Rihanna.

Whitney Port was seen in Miami wearing this halter-neck, floral patched Rebecca Taylor maxi with stacked bangles. I really am not not a fan of this dress.

Lauren Conrad was seen at an event in a very dull outfit. Lauren Conrad always looks nice, but there's no personality from her on the red carpet and her outfits lack interest too, case in point: this Rebecca Minkoff mini with nude peeptoes.

Miu Miu Mates

Spotted: Camilla Belle, Diane Kruger, Emma Roberts and Ashley Tisdale, at a Miu Miu event last night.

All the stars wore the label in some form, but stuck to subtle summer palettes and designs.

Camilla wore a batwing-sleeved white dress and sparkly pumps, all by Miu Miu; I'm disliking the shoes quite a bit - simpler sandal would have looked better.

Diane looked flawless head-to-toe. I'm especially loving the retro hair, she's kept it free-flowing instead of a stiff style.

Ever the fashionista, Emma Roberts dazzled in a lamé gold shift by Miu Miu, which she paired with Prada platforms (a favourite of Alexa Chung).

A newly blonde-again Ashley Tisdale kept things low key in a pretty Asos white dress, which she wore with dark purple Miu Miu platform sandals; I love her chunky gold watch!

Young Hollywood Awards

Spotted: Camilla Belle & Eva Mendes at an event in Hollywood.

Camilla did the whole menswear inspired thing in a white suit by Tom Ford but the whole look just comes across contrived and slightly OTT.

Eva wore a long halter neck gown by Lanvin with metallic accessories - the colour is just unsightly, a more pleasant and colourful shade would have elevated this look.

Good Housekeeping!

Lots of sweet fashion was to be seen at the Good Housekeeping magazine's Shine On Awards.

Ashley Tisdale looked all polished in a sheer LBD which she wore with gold pumps from Brian Atwood and matching gold earrings.

Alexis Bledel wore her recent favourite label - Oscar de la Renta. She looked lovely in the navy blue tweed frock.

New mother Ali Larter wore a fun polka-dot frock from Dolce & Gabbana with clean make up.

Rebecca Romjin brought the sunny with her lemon yellow Monique Lhuillier gown, which she accessorised with a serious necklace! Although, I'm not feeling the red lipstick with the colour of the gown and also, it seems a little too formal an outfit for a magazine do.

Camilla Belle wore a sweet rose coloured Alberta Ferreti dress with a sparkly layered hemline and a high neck. It looks great and I like her soft hairstyle. She wore Louboutins.

Gwyneth Paltrow was also present, working her minimal style in a nude full-sleeved sheath which she wore with beige heels (which seem a tad large right?). I'm not a fan of this outfit, the dress is a little ill-fitting to start with and her hair looks so dead!

Fashion Roundup

Sorry guys, didn't post yesterday - busy times! But here's the weekly Fashion Roundup.

Spotted in Paris - Nicole Richie, in a typically chic casual ensemble, only pick however would be the crushed and wrinkled skirt.

Miranda Kerr is also in the City of Lights, she walked around in this street look - I like everything about it, except for the tights (not opaque enough) and those chunky looking shoes.

Actress Michelle Monaghan was at the Tom Ford store launch, wearing a sand coloured Roland Mouret dress. The silhoutte is sleek but interesting, she's wearing dark purple Brian Atwoods.

Budding fashionista Emma Roberts wore a grey dress by Jenny Packham with sparkly embellishments, she finished off the look with some nude Brian Atwoods - effortless!

Nicole Richie attended an Oscar party wearing a white Halston dress with a cutout, I think the dress would have looked better without the cutout but everything else about her look is impeccable as always.

Amanda Seyfried stopped by the photographers before appearing on the Late Show in an eyelet print black dress - not a fan. The pattern isn't pretty and the raccoon-eye makeup doesn't suit Amanda.

Vanessa Hudgens wore a faux-wrap velvet Catherine Malandrino dress with delicate necklaces. But those fishnet tights must go ASAP!

Rumer Willis showed up at the Badgley Mischka store launch in this travesty of a dress - the colour's terrible, the material is tacky and her hair is frizzy!

Camilla Belle attended the Chanel dinner in Hollywood post Oscars in a navy tweed dress by the label with matching ankle-strap pumps, it's a very classy look.

Alexa Chung walked the red carpet at the NME Awards in London wearing a fierce galaxy print Christopher Kane mini with tights and rocked the look like she only knows how.

Jennifer Lopez attempted to channel her inner teenager in a wrong outfit. Everything about this look is wrong and the items must be returned to Forever 21, or whichever store she shopped at.

Kim Kardashian wore a breezy, yet chic casual outfit during a coffee run, the ripped jeans bother me but I love her loose-fitting top and that delicious Fendi Peekaboo tote! (Kind of weird how it showed up on her arm, I was talking about this bag with a friend only yesterday!)
