Shailene Woodley In 3.1 Phillip Lim - Santa Barbara International Film Festival

Shailene Woodley received the Virtuoso award at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival today.  The actress wore a 3.1 Phillip Lim mini for the event.

I like this sleeveless, navy blue leather dress with a round neck on Shailene.  However, she should have worn her hair in a sleek ponytail, as her loose locks just make the look feel incomplete.  Suede sandals by Pierre Hardy finished off her minimal look.

Fashion Roundup

Kirsten Dunst went back to looking cute in a blue, ditsy floral print summer dress (Louis Vuitton), worn with gold peeptoe sandals at the label's event in NYC. It's perfect for a summery evening out and Kirsten looked good.

Malin Akerman attended a Tommy Hilfiger do in LA in a low cut white jersey dress with tan accessories in the form of the thin belt and lace heels. I think that the dress would have looked better had it had a more modest neckline.


Emma Watson looked great once more in a chartreuse coloured Marchesa dress, at the MTV Awards after-party. She added bright lipstick and translucent pumps to complete the look.

Emma Roberts too looked lovely in green, in a kelly green shade. She went for colour blocking, pairing the Amanda Uprichard mini with royal blue suede heels.


"Sex and the City" stars, Kristin Davis & Sarah Jessica Parker both wore nude/blush shades this week.

Kristin went for a soft blush pink Paul Ka satin frock, finishing the look off with matching heels.

SJP went for a more simpler look in her vintage inspired L'Wren Scott dress which she wore with lots of eyeliner, a simple hairstyle and open-toe Louboutins.


Nicole Kidman invited disaster when she stepped out at the CMT Music Awards in a velvet Proenza Schouler dress, adding to the travesty with those caged Pierre Hardy heels. The hairstyle, dress, shoes, nothing work.

Charlize Theron was seen at a Christian Dior party (for the launch of a watch, for which she is spokesperson), dressed in clothes from the label. She wore a feathered white dress with a black blazer - it's a stylish look but the blazer isn't very weather appropriate.

Independent Spirit Awards

The Independent Spirit Awards (Indies for short) took place on Saturday night and the stars turned up in their best "cool" togs. The Indies are traditionally very laid back and fun and the celebrities kept that in mind while dressing for the occassion.

Nicole Kidman wore a strawberry-red L'Wren Scott lace sheath with pointed pink kitten heels from Charlotte Olympia. She's playing with two trends here, red & pink and pointy pumps (they're totally in, according to Vogue), she looks nice but what's with the weird hands?

I looked at Natalie Portman and went "Awww!". The expectant actress looked absolutely gorgeous, and radiant in a Givenchy number with nude Stella McCartney heels - it's got a free-spirit thing going on, totally appropriate for the Indies.

Michelle Trachtenberg looked very sophisticated in a cream, wrap-dress by Pamela Rolland - cream/white dresses were popular at the Indies this year.

Mia Wasikowska (from Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland") wore a Rodarte dress with cutouts and Nicholas Kirkwood heels - it's a bit of a washout, some colour was needed! She should have gone for something like these (Nicholas Kirkwoods) instead.

Eva Mendes wore a printed Chanel Resort dress with some cool aqua coloured Pierre Hardy heels and tons of pizzazz! Her confident pose and attitude alone sells this look.

Rosario Dawson went for an animal-print Burberry dress with slate grey Brian Atwoods. I'm not loving this dress much, the ruffles seem heavy somehow.

Both Zoe Saldana and Kerry Washington wore Dolce & Gabbana. The label is coming out with a lot of floral print and lacey stuff and these designs showcase that. I personally think it looks too busy but Zoe's slender frame makes the look work, she added some bright red Brian Atwoods to the mix.

Kerry's black, floral top & skirt were too loud for me, add to that the animal-print clutch, blunt bangs and red shoes - it's an overload!

Kate Walsh wore a cream, one-shoulder Max Mara number with pointy nude heels - kind of boring.

Vera Farmiga wore a printed red wrap dress with brown accessories in the form of the necklace, belt and shoes - it's very Indies style.

Fashion Roundup

Malin Akerman was seen at the Golden Globes After Party, wearing a sleek red Tommy Hilfiger design, Natalie Portman wore an electric blue Michael Kors dress with black pumps and matching purse and Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted at an event in Switzerland wearing a light pink Azzadine Alaia knee-skimming dress with cute pink peeptoes from Pierre Hardy.
Hayden Panettiere's navy blue Amanda Wakely gown with a plunging neckline was a grown up look for her but I don't think she quite pulled it off. Rumer Willis looked good in a cream coloured Badgley Mischka gown, I liked the delicate necklace she wore too. Olivia Munn attended a photo exhibit wearing a dark blue chiffon mini dress by Mason, she made the look her own by adding a thick belt to cinch at the waist and suede Elizabeth and James open-toe booties.
Model Bar Rafaeli looked polished in a ruched black top with wide legged black trousers at the Berlin Fashion week. Kourtney Kardashian looked cute in a high waisted pale skirt which she wore with a printed Myne blouse and finished off with black ankle boots. Chloe Sevigny was also seen at the Hugo Boss show in Berlin, wearing shorts and a blazer, I love the lilac floral pin she added to make the look stand out.

Premiere Style

Lots of movie premieres took place around the world and there was a lot of fabulous and not so fabulous fashion going around. First lets get the worst dressed out of the way - Angelina Jolie was present at the Berlin premiere of her movie The Tourist and she wore an off the shoulder dark Versace number with attached gloves. WTF? I absolutely detest this style and sincerely hope that it does not catch on. Overall, I'm just not feeling this look, the hair is badly styled and the material of the dress is kinda tacky. Gwyneth Paltrow took a rare fashion misstep by wearing this white Pucci gown that had a laced up side panel at the premiere of Country Strong, and she matched the shoes, same lace style but in black; it just doesn't suit her somehow and borders on looking cheap. Now on the goodness of fashion :) Leighton Meester was also present at the Country Strong event and I loved her flirty and fun Dior dress which she paired with some awesome platform heels in bright orange & purple (they're from Pierre Hardy), I'm loving the gold bangles & red lipstick too! Lastly, Jessica Alba at the premiere of Little Fockers, looking glamorous in a Valentino Haute Couture white mini dress which she wore with gold Louboutins and accessorised with a gold clutch.
