2014 Golden Globes - Neutrals (Part I)

Rashida Jones brought her cool style to the red carpet at the Golden Globes.  The 'Parks & Recreation' star wore a dress from the Fausto Puglisi Spring 2014 collection.  I loved this cream dress with a gold embellished palm tree design from the moment I saw the runway picture and I can't think of a better person to wear it than Rashida. A top-knot, pear ear-cuffs and a dark lip colour complimented her look.

Paula Patton in Theia - 2013 ESPY Awards

Paula Patton attended the ESPY Awards last evening, sparkling like a disco ball.

She wore a silver, sequined mini dress with a portrait neckline by the label Theia.

I thought she looked pretty great; the dress managed to show off her athletic figure and toned legs quite well, and the head to toe silver palette worked well on her.

Paula Patton in Mac Duggal - 2013 Vanity Fair Oscar Party

Paula Patton wore a dress by a prom dress designer, Mac Duggal to this year's post-Oscars party.

That fact aside, the dress wasn't that great, even if it picked up on the metallics trend of the night.  There was a sickly overload of sparkles and sequins and all things prom-like.  I hate the exaggerated shoulders too.

Paula Patton in Vera Wang - 2012 Met Ball

Paula Patton was pretty in a rose pink Vera Wang gown at this year's Met Ball.

The colour of the strapless silk gown with a pleated bodice and skirt was unique and popped against her olive skin tone.  She completed the look with a low ponytail and statement earrings.

This has to be one of Paula's best looks on the red carpet.

Paula Patton in Azzedine Alaia - Pepsi Next Promotion

Paula Patton looked cheery in an Azzedine Alaia dress for a promotional event at The Grove in California.

The 'MI:4' actress looked adorable in the cherry red, scoop-neck frock with an A-line skirt.  She added interest with the thin black belt.

A ponytail would have looked better with this dress.  She completed the look with basic black Brian Atwood pumps.

Paula Patton In Naeem Khan - Vanity Fair Oscar Party

Paula Patton, who attended the Vanity Fair after-party with husband Robin Thicke wore a Naeem Khan dress.

The short dress features a heavily embellished bodice and a feather skirt.  It's a dress that's more suited to someone younger and dainty, and looks ill-suited on Paula's muscular frame.  It also seems tight on her bust right?

Side parted, lacquered locks, Chopard jewels, a Marchesa clutch and Jimmy Choo pumps completed her look.

Also, is anyone else getting a Blake Lively vibe from this look?

Paula Patton In Marchesa - 2012 Essence Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon

Paula Patton wore a Marchesa cocktail dress for the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon yesterday.

Paula looked chic in the fitted white dress with cap sleeves, and a portrait neckline, with silver embroidery.

A neat, pulled back hairstyle, red lips and silver Giuseppe Zannoti pumps were the finishing touches to her look.

Paula Patton In Zac Posen - Vanity Fair & Juicy Couture 'Vanities' Event

Paula Patton got into the Spring mood with this floral Zac Posen number, at the Vanity Fair & Juicy Couture 'Vanities' Event.

While I like the pale blue frock with a floaty skirt and a dainty print, pairing it with that bright Simone jacket felt uneccesary.  

The ponytail and red lips would have been enough to prevent her look from being boring.

Paula Patton In Monique Lhuillier - 2012 NAACP Image Awards

Paula Patton wore a Monique Lhuillier Spring 2011 gown for the 2012 NAACP Image Awards on Friday.

The strapless red gown with a sweetheart neckline & beading was simply exquisite on Paula who wore it with striking gold jewelery.

Fashion Roundup

Olivia Palermo attended a few events in NYC in an array of stylish outfits.

At a movie screening, she wore a white sheer blouse with a furry vest, skinny pants and feathered Louboutin boots. A cool panther pendant, gold bangles and a Lulu Guinness clutch completed her look.

Olivia arrived at the Carlo Pazolini party in cropped, metallic pants, a grey sweater & a leather sleeved jacket.  Accessories included a statement necklace, a bright yellow clutch and satin blue Manolo Blahnik pumps.

Beyonce stepped out for another Jay Z concert, in a sequined Monique Lhuillier dress which she wore with a furry Chanel clutch and ankle-strap heels.

Solange Knowles  attended the Carlo Pazolini store opening in NYC.  Loving her take on amping up neutral basics.

Camila Alves took in the Leila Shams show at NYFW in a cool black & neon mini by the designer, topping it with a leather jacket.  Wavy tresses, a large clutch and open-toe boots completed her look.


Paula Patton wore a sky blue Versus dress with cutout sleeves and an architectural skirt.  Something about the way the top sits on this dress really irks me, and I'm not a fan of it on Paula.

Sarah Jessica Parker attended a book launch in NYC in a grey shift dress which she wore with sheer polka-dot tights, a black blazer and a Chanel bag.  It's understated but so chic.

Angelina Jolie met with the German foreign minister in a white dress, worn with a matching belted coat.  Diamond earrings & nude peep-toes completed her elegant look.

More from the 2012 Golden Globes

Paula Patton donned a canary yellow Monique Lhuillier dress.  The strapless ballgown was certainly cheery and bright and suited Paula's persona.  She wore it with Kwiat jewelery & Jimmy Choo heels.

Sarah Michelle Gellar also wore a Monique Lhuillier gown - this was the only printed dress at the event but again, it suited Sarah.

Fashion Roundup

Paula Patton made two appearances this week.

She wore a navy blue, zip-front mini to the premiere of 'Joyful Noise' with colourful, printed heels (which don't really go with the dress but at least she tried).

Later, at a party, Paula wore a skintight leather mini with a scoop-neck & lace rimmed hemline.  She looks like she's trying too hard here, and look comes off as tacky.

Carey Mulligan wore an ombre, tasseled dress from the Lanvin Resort 2012 line to the National Board of Review Awards Gala.  Love this dress on Carey, who wore it with matching mauve Sergio Rossi shoes.

Kerry Washington attended the Disney/ABC TCA event in a sparkly Jenny Packham Spring 2012 mini.  The gold sequined dress with cutout shoulders is lovely but the sleeves are hanging off her arms, which makes the look sloppy.

Paula Patton In Moschino

Paula Patton dropped by the BET studio in NYC for the 106 & Park event.

She wore a golden, sequined mini from the Moschino Spring 2012 collection, topped off with a moto jacket and a black belt.

Paula Patton In Emilio Pucci - 'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' NYC Premiere

Paula Patton exited the 'MI:4' premiere tour with a bang, in this Emilio Pucci Spring 2012 mini.

The full sleeved minidress is adorned with sequins and feathers and I like the colour combination.

Paula wore it really well but if I could change one thing, it'd be the hair - a teased, low ponytail with a centre parting would have been lovely to show off the neckline of the dress.

She's wearing Christian Louboutin 'Bambou' suede peeptoes.

Paula Patton In Dolce & Gabbana - 'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' Rio de Janeiro Premiere

Paula Patton wore a Dolce & Gabbana maxi dress to the final premiere of 'MI:4' in Brazil.

The bright, floral dress had a bejeweled neckline and waistband.

In concept, this look should really work but I'm not able to get excited about it somehow.

This has been a long promotional tour for Paula but none of her looks have struck a chord with me, which is tragic as she must have had so many designers wanting to dress her.  

But I have to say, her footwear was pretty interesting throughout the tour.

Paula Patton In Naeem Khan - 'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' London Premiere

Paula Patton wore a Naeem Khan Fall 2011 minidress to the London premiere of the 'MI:4' promotional tour.

The full-sleeved, nude coloured dress had metallic beading all over.

Paula wore it with sexy Christian Louboutin 'Lucifer Bow' pumps which I love.

Paula Patton In Vivienne Westwood - 'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' Munich Premiere

Paula Patton shut it down at the Munich premiere of 'MI:4' in a Vivienne Westwood number.

The actress wore a silver corsetted dress from the Spring 2012 Red Label collection, with matching platinum Brian Atwood 'Maniac' pumps.

Sure, the hem could have been lower but if you've got it, flaunt it right?

Paula Patton In Azzaro - 'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' Tokyo Premiere

The 'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' promotional tour has officially begun.

At the Japanese premiere, Paula Patton wore an Azzaro Resort 2012 jumpsuit.

It's simple.  I like the PVC-like jacket, but all of it as a jumpsuit isn't such a bright idea; some tapered black pants would have been a better choice.

She wore it with tons of mascara, diamond earrings and cute Dolce & Gabbana star-print pumps.
