2012 Chrysalis Butterfly Ball

The Chrysalis Butterfly Ball took place in LA on Saturday.


Lea Michele attended in a full sleeved, printed Emilio Pucci dress that she wore with wavy hair and pink lips - it's a nice, more relaxed look from her.


Ashley Tisdale looked stylish in a white lace dress with full sleeves.  We're accustomed to seeing her in short, fitted minis so I must say, this was a lovely change. She also changed up her hair by wearing it in a top-knot and carried a Cleobella bag.

Jenna Dewan was pretty in a lemon Valentino Spring 2012 dress and Jamie Lynn Sigler looked summer-ready in a colourful maxi.

Lea Michele in Zac Posen - 2012 Glamour Women of the Year Awards

Lea Michele really brought the glamour to the Glamour Women of the Year Awards in London on Tuesday night.

She wore a dark blue Zac Posen gown with a romantic, draped off-shoulder neckline and looked wonderful.  The heavy make-up worked for her here and I'm glad she wore her hair in a ponytail to show off those stunning Lorraine Schwartz earrings.

Lea Michele in Emilio Pucci - FOX Upfront Presentation

Lea Michele hammed it up in front of the cameras when she attended the FOX 2012 Upfronts in New York City on Monday.

She wore a blush lace Emilio Pucci Pre-Fall 2012 sheath. It was worn with suede, dove-grey Casadei heels and a braided updo.

Looks like Lea has jumped on the dark lip colour wagon.

Lea Michele in Diane Von Furstenberg - 2012 Met Ball

Lea Michele tried her best to be the centre of attention like always.

She wore a sequined, navy blue Diane von Furstenberg gown with a plunging neckline and a high centre split too.  

A faux bob, Lorraine Schwartz diamonds, gun-metal Louboutins and a matching DVF clutch completed her look.  At least she isn't overposing.

'Glee' Academy Event

The 'Glee' girls attended the annual Academy screening of their hit show today.

For once, Lea Michele didn't try to upstage her co-stars.  She looked pretty, in a low-key way in Jenni Kayne separates with sparkly detail that she wore simply with a ponytail and Giambattista Valli heels.

Jayma Mays wore a key spring trend in the form of her yellow, printed Dolce & Gabbana dress.  Her look consisted of wavy hair and beige, pointy pumps.

Amber Riley was casual in grey silk top and jeans, worn with a white cardigan and red peep toes.

Heather Morris wore a velvet bustier top with a printed asymmetrical skirt.  I have only word for her ensemble: hideous.

Lea Michele in Oscar de la Renta - Taste for a Cure Gala

Lea Michele attended the annual Taste for a Cure Gala in Beverly Hills on Friday night.

She looked great in an Oscar de la Renta design that featured lace everywhere, with full sleeves and a pleated skirt.

Lea's tan is gorgeous, especially with her hair and eyes.  She's wearing Stella McCartney pumps.

Lea Michele In Versace - 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Lea Michele brought drama to the Golden Globes (click here) so I wasn't expecting that to go away any time soon.  The 'Glee' star wore an Atelier Versace Fall 2010 dress for the SAGs last night.

The pale grey, silk-chiffon gown with one shoulder and a thigh-high split was high on glamour and that 'sexy' factor.  Although, I do have a small complaint - the grey Casadei heels should have been swapped for a sexy, strappy silver heel.  The dress was begging for it.

Lea kept her hair in a straight, side-parted style and wore a warm pink lip colour, Lorraine Schwartz jewels, and a Fendi clutc.

2012 Golden Globes - Grey

Ms. Lea Michele wore another Marchesa Spring 2012 dress. The dress has a sheer and embellished top with full sleeves and a shimmery skirt.  Lea is all drama, always but the hair & make-up are just OTT this time. 

Naya Rivera also went for a slate grey shade in this silk column gown.  Too bad it's very sloppily made, I mean it's puckering at the seams.  More polish and finishing was very much needed, then this backless gown would have been right up there.  Like the red lips though.

Nicole Kidman wore Versace! She nailed a red-carpet look after a long, long time.  The studded, pale grey Spring 2012 column gown is amazing on her, and she's smiling! She kept her hair down, wore pink lipstick, a gold bangle & clutch.

Shailene Woodley also went for a Marchesa Spring 2012 dress. The strapless, light grey, beaded gown has white gauze over it.  Shailene once more went accessory-less, just completing the look with a bun.

Nicole Richie walked the red carpet in a Julian Macdonald Spring 2012 dress. Nicole wore the silver, woven dress with a glamorous ponytail, tons of bling and a House of Harlow clutch.

Lea Michele In Marchesa - 2012 People's Choice Awards

Lea Michele donned a Marchesa Spring 2012 dress for the PCAs, where she won the Favourite TV Comedy Actress award.

The white tassel dress is fussy but I think Lea wears it well and how gorgeous is that lip colour?! (Lancome Paris, I believe).

  She kept her hair on the side, carried a gold Marchesa clutch and wore Jimmy Choo ankle-strap heels.

Lea Michele In Peter Som - 2012 Fox TCA All-Star Party

Lea Michele attended the 2012 Fox TCA All-Star Party in a  

Peter Som Spring 2012 dress.

I'm in love with the cerulean blue dress that has a t-shirt esque top over a flowing skirt that has a leg split.

Lea wore it perfectly - with tousled hair, a dark fuschia lip colour, gold bangles & sparkly heels.

Lea Michele In Emilio Pucci - The Tonight Show with Jay Leno

Lea Michele made an appearance on 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno' wearing an Emilio Pucci Resort 2012 mini.

The full sleeved, sheer mini with a key-hole neckline & gold embroidery was fabulous on Lea (if a little short)!

She really showcased her legs by going for minimal gold heels and kept her hair in tousled waves.  I think this has got to be in her top 10 looks ever!

Lea Michele In Valentino - 'New Year's Eve' Premiere

Lea Michele was truly the belle of the... red carpet in a Valentino gown, at the premiere of 'New Year's Eve'.

She looked gorgeous in the plunge-neck sparkly gown and kept things very minimal to let the heavenly gown shine.

 Glossy, wavy tresses, drop earrings by Neil Lane & neutral make-up completed her look.

Lea Michele In Jenny Packham - Glamour 2011 Women Of The Year Awards

Lea Michele wore a Jenny Packham dress for the Glamour Women Of The Year Awards, held in NYC last night.

The 'Glee' actress wore a Spring 2012 Bridal gown for the event.  

The pale, blush coloured dress looked rich, with all the tulle, netting and starburst embellishment.

Lea wore it with glossy, wavy hair, dark red lipstick and looked lovely.

Fashion Roundup

Selena Gomez was spotted at Disney do, wearing a one-shoulder grey mini with a cutout, wearing it with gold hoops & t-strap heels - so simple yet striking.

Kerry Washington graced the photographers a lot this week, first in Marc Jacobs ensemble, and then at a L'Oreal event.  She wore a gold silk Ralph Lauren gown with gold & black beads, a chunky clutch and glossy, side-parted hair.

Also at the L'Oreal bash, was Andie McDowell, in a sparkly gold David Meister gown - she let the dress do the talking and went jewellery-less.  Straight hair & apricot coloured lips completed her gorgeous look.

Julianna Marguiles attended the event in a lovely, berry-hued draped dress, worn with strappy heels.  

Ashley Greene surprised me in a positive manner by wearing a cobalt blue Vera Wang dress with a draped one-shoulder at an Avon event.  Love the retro hairstyle and even the black pumps look alright!

Olivia Palermo attended the Princess Grace Foundation Gala in NYC last week, dressed in a satin, peach coloured Rochas dress.  I love the addition of the Giorgio Armani stole, vibrant earrings and matching Charlotte Olympia heels. Inspired.

Also at the Princess Grace Foundation Gala was Olivia Munn - dressed in head-to-toe Calvin Klein.  Love the metallic silver shade on her skintone.

Lea Michele wore yet another white dress, by Versus, at a Christian Louboutin event.  She added grey ankle booties to the mix, which make her feet look wide.  Some sleek pumps/strappy heels would've done the job.

 

Rosie Huntington Whiteley also attended the Louboutin do, in a high-neck,vintage blouse with a keyhole neck along with leather pants and gold cap-toe pumps.  I dislike the blouse, but otherwise the look is flawless.

Kerry Washington was spotted at the Keep A Child Alive Black Ball, in a white tulle Donna Karan number.  As much as I like the quirky dress, Kerry's choice of shoes & clutch aren't working, neither is the make-up.

Tyra Banks attended the event in a bright purple David Meister fishtail-hem gown.  Love the sleek bun, bright lip and dangly earrings.

Padma Lakshmi donned a barely mint Alberta Ferreti dress with some mismatched ethnic jewellery, not her best look.

Lea Michele In Luca Luca

Lea Michele wore a Spring 2012 Luca Luca outfit at the Mohegan Sun's (a famous casino) 15th anniversary.

The black suit-esque ensemble, consisting of a cutout top & shorts looked great on Lea but I wish she'd worn some sexy heels instead of those chunky boots; these Alexander Wang 'Fabiana' heels (click here!) would have been perfect!

Love the sparkly earrings, and clutch.

Fashion Roundup

This week's Fashion Roundup consists of looks from Paris Fashion Week.

Clemence Poesy was spotted at the Chanel Spring 2012 show, wearing a sweet, polka-dot frock from the label and adding black platforms and clutch to the look.  I'm so glad she didn't leave her hair down, as this habit has been a downfall for Clemence. (See this, & this)

Olivia Palermo watched the Giambattista Valli showing, in a feathered shift by the label.  I'm in love with the dress!  She finished the look with whimsical sunnies, a Marchesa clutch and dark pumps.

Jessica Biel was also seen at the Giambattista Valli show, in an extremely chic, all white ensemble.

She looked so high fashion, in her textured jacket, pencil skirt, cool shades, quilted bag and those chain-link heels.

She was also seen at the Valentino show, in a lavender, knee-length dress, with a light coat and gorgeous shoes and clutch.

Lookin' good Jessica!

 

The Louis Vuitton show saw Uma Thurman wear a cutout dress from the label, worn with a chic updo, red lips and strappy heels.  She looks so fresh-faced and pretty!

Nicole Richie was spotted looking her best in a red, full-sleeve minidress that had button detail on the shoulder.  She kept things simple with a cross-body bag and navy stilettos.

Lea Michele was invited to a party in the city, where she wore a sheer, lace dress by The Row.  It's dramatic but I'm not loving this shapeless dress on Lea - it does nothing for her figure.  I like her make-up and those satin heels though.

 Olivia Wilde was at the Valentino show, in an Oscar de la Renta design.  The printed tea-dress would have worked better had it been knee-length I think, and those heels are overwhelming for the dress.

Glee Girls At American Horror Story Premiere

It was nice to see some of the actresses from 'Glee' out for the premiere of a show called 'American Horror Story' last night.

Lea Michele's look, consisting of a lace mini from Asos & Brian Atwood booties just looked very contrived.  Lea still hasn't found her style, so to speak and almost always looks like she's trying too hard.

Naya Rivera went the colour block way, with her Intellexual  Property dress, which she amped up with satin red platforms.

Amber Riley looked smashing, in a blue leopard print dress that she wore with poker straight hair and suede platform heels.

Jayma Mays looked great as always, in an Asos sweater and skirt which she topped with a tweed blazer.  The gold clutch and accessories saved the look from looking overly prim.

August In A Rush

Hello folks! Despite not blogging for a while, I had been keeping an eye on the world of fashion and here are my top looks from the month of August.

Marisa Tomei's Preen dress from the Venice Film was wonderful and she did not ruin the look by wearing plain black pumps, but smartly chose those sleek sandals.

SJP opted for a Prabal Gurung sheath on the promo tour for her summer movie, "I Don't Know How She Does It", wearing it with cap toe heels (an odd choice, but that's Sarah Jessica Parker for you!).

Olivia Munn struck gold at a movie premiere in August, by choosing this colour-block, one-shoulder Carolina Herrera cocktail dress and those delicious coral and gold earrings. The slicked back hair added polish to her look, as did that clutch and nude leather peeptoes.

Hollywood favourite Emma Stone played with colour, in this hot pink Christopher Kane dress that had a pleated bottom. She finished the look off with satin lime-green Brian Atwoods and drop earrings.

Kim Kardashian looked great at a music do in a pale, figure-hugging Antonio Berardi gown with a signature cinched in waist.

Lea Michele finally did it - she looked effortlessly great at a Fox beach event in a column dress by Marchesa. Tousled hair and a jewelled Judith Leiber clutch finished off her look.

Zoe Saldana has had a fabulously stylish summer so it's no surprise that she features thrice in this post.  

She worked the coloured leather mini dress trend in a salmon hued Valentino number, accessorising it with ivory earrings, clutch and nude pointy heels.  'Leather' and 'lady-like' don't usually mix but here's an exception!

Her playful Proenza Schouler dress was an instant hit with me - it's Proenza!

Anne Hathaway's Alexander McQueen LBD with gold detail had me reminiscing of her 'Princess Diaries' days and since I'm unashamedly a fan of the series, this was a good thing.

Her attempt at the suit might not have gone down well according to others but I love the quirk she's bringing with the plain ol' tailored blazer and pants.  I think it's those sunnies.

I make a list of the best looks and Diane Kruger isn't present in it? Highly improbable.  Miss Kruger lightened up the Instyle carpet in her menswear-inspired Jason Wu ensemble.  And those shoes.  Those shoes!

Olivia Palermo, an omnipresent member of standard best-dressed lists also makes an appearance in mine, thanks to her all-blue Tibi outfit.

The month saw many a stylish casual looks, but here are my favourites.

Freida Pinto rocked this colour-block Michael Kors dress like no other;  the matching sandals could have been a deal-breaker but they totally work here.  The strategically placed colour blocks add curves to the otherwise petite Freida - smart girl (or stylist).

Zoe Saldana nailed the jumpsuit trend in her silk, army-coloured number.  And those heels are beautiful!

Fashion Roundup

It's been quite the week, fashion wise!

At the premiere of the comedy, "The Change Up", Sandra Bullock turned up in a black Lanvin jumpsuit, paired with simple Sergio Rossis. I like the simple look and she looks gorgeous.

Olivia Wilde, who has a part in the movie went monochromatic in a structured, sharp-shouldered Antonio Berardi sheath, opting to wear it with satin Brian Atwoods. The hairstyle is a little off but overall, Olivia carries this look well.

On a talk show appearance, Katie Holmes went for red leather bottoms, wearing them with a crochet knit sweater by Madewell - it's a break from pretty dresses and I admire Katie for always changing it up.

Angelina Jolie wore a beautiful, rust coloured Elie Saab dress at the Sarajevo Film Festival and looked radiant to top it!

I adored Dianna Agron's head-to-toe black look (yes, despite it being all black). Her snazzy hair, red lips and the happy smile elevated this look and she ended up looking very stylish.

Lea Michele worked a light summery look in her printed Valentino frock, which she wore with the predictable nude peeptoes.

Jessica Alba wore a celestial print dress from the Dolce & Gabbana Fall collection - the maxi dress is a great look on her as always but the hairstyle I do not like.

Model/actress Joy Bryant was seen at an NBC event in some tribal printed shorts from Madewell, which she wore with a white vest top, black blazer and silver necklace - the red bag added a pop of colour to her ensemble.

Emma Roberts surprised me in this long white dress - I think I would have preferred a knee-length on it but as it is, it looks lovely.

Mila Kunis was seen in London wearing a navy polka-dot Oscar de la Renta dress, with pale Mary-Janes and an indigo Chanel clutch - something about this look reminds me of Kate Middleton and that can't ever be a bad thing, right?

Fashion Roundup

Lea Michelle looked absolutely fabulous at the Glee Academy event, in a black and white Versace dress with a tulip design. It elongates her frame and the flower motif is so pretty and unexpected! She's wearing cutout Louboutins.

Sophia Bush stepped out earlier in the week in a very stylish spring day ensemble. She was wearing a coral printed Ann Taylor sheath, topped with a taupe blazer and wore leather sandals to finish off the look.
Camilla Alves looked great at a Lexus event, in a white leg-baring gown. She accessorised with a red clutch and red lipstick.

Reese Witherspoon continued her premiere duties in Sydney, Australia. This time wearing a fun Zac Posen dress, with a voluminous hairdo. She's really into her little blue dresses right now!
Pregnancy never looked so good!

Kate Hudson looked totally fierce in NYC, in this teal leopard-print gown by Dolce & Gabbana with diamond earrings and red nails!

Jessica Alba's dress screams spring's here! The floral motif, off-shoulder design and draw-string cinched waist add so much interest to this Dolce & Gabbana dress. She completed the look with nude sandals and cat-eye sunglasses.

Jessica Szohr's casual outfit was an instant favourite of mine this week! I love the mix of the textures in this cool pale ensemble. The tan brogues and animal-print clutch pop against the separates by Tommy Hilfiger.

Demi Moore's take on coloured jeans took a turn for the worse this week, the red bottoms are shapeless and a tad too long; the outfit was okay otherwise.
Eva Mendes had a brilliant week in style stakes! She wore a silk organza Prabal Gurung dress with black pumps and later a gorgeous lime green Oscar de la Renta frock with cutout pumps; the second dress was trademark Eva!


Emma Roberts hosted a party in this ballerina-inspired Elie Saab dress, worn with the label's platform sandals; she looked great! The voluminous hair works well.

Diane Kruger worked two trends in one outing in the pink lace cocktail dress by No.21, worn with aqua coloured Brian Atwood peeptoes, finishing the look off with red lipstick and delicate hoop earrings.
