Cannes Red Carpet stunners!

13 May

The 68th annual Cannes film festival started with a BANG this evening in Cannes, France.  There were many glamorous looks as expected but two were absolutely show stopping!  I must get right to the pictures….

Lupita Nyong’o is a goddess in green Gucci.

Oh em geeeee the flower detail, the plunge neckline, the pleating, the draping! Absolutely amazing!  Her beautiful oversized ballerina bun and gorgeous winged liner and purple pout made this look all the better. BRAVO Lupita!

Met Gala 2014: Best Dressed!

5 May

The fashion party of the year, also known as the Costume Institute Gala aka The Met Ball for short did not disappoint. The red carpet was full of fabulous fashion moments. I loved so many of the looks and narrowed it down to my favorite 7! So Let’s get to it!

Leighton Meester in Emilio Pucci- I like the drop waist and overall flow of this gown and the detail is amazing.

Beyonce Knowles in Givenchy- The caged head-piece did it for me.

Rosie Huntington Whiteley in Balmain- I love anything Balmain, but I also love how Rosie went against the grain with her choice of dress.(and those shoes!!!!!)

Gabrielle Union in Prada- This two piece feathered ensemble is really cool.

Kim Kardashian in Lanvin- I am a sucker for a dress with pockets and loved the color as well. I was drawn to the belt and matching cuffs she originally wore and was surprised she removed them for the red carpet. I like how it brought some edge to the dress.

(with the cuffs and without pictured below) note: she also changed her shoes

NYFW! Diane Von Furstenberg S/S’14!

8 Sep

Diane Von Furstenberg went heavy on her usual fun and exotic prints at today’s show! I really liked the cork prints that she used!  Flattering cuts were also prominent which I always appreciate!  Great collection! I’m loving all of the separates that I’m seeing at this NYFW, I usually see much more for  fall collections but this is refreshing, Spring isn’t only for dresses!
