Shailene Woodley & Zoe Saldana - Armani Privé Fall 2012 Couture Presentation

Shailene Woodley attended her first ever Haute Couture Week show in Paris yesterday; she was joined by Zoe Saldana for the evening.

Shailene looked grown-up and elegant in a cream jacket and black pants, which made her look even more statuesque. I loved her fresh-faced look and as usual she opted for no accessories, the finishing touches included a bun and starppy heels.

Zoe Saldana was adorable in a glimmering salmon pink dress.  Wavy locks, smokey eyes, clutch and black peep-toes completed her look.

Zoe Saldana in Louis Vuitton - Persol Magnificent Obsessions: 30 Stories Of Craftmanship In Film Event

Zoe Saldana attended the Persol Magnificent Obsessions: 30 Stories Of Craftmanship In Film Event at the Museum of Moving Image in New York City last night.

Zoe looked super cute in a Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 2012 ensemble.  The baroque embellished top and pant combination looked fabulous on her, largely due to the colours.

She wore it just like the model, with those cap-toe black pointy pumps, just finishing her look off with a slick bun.

Zoe Saldana in Prabal Gurung - 2012 CFDA Awards

Zoe Saldana attended the annual CFDA Fashion Awards at the Alice Tully hall in New York City.  

The event, which is heralded as the Oscars of the high fashion world was attended by Zoe in a Prabal Gurung Fall 2012 gown (she was also his date).

It's not often that we see Zoe do sleek, minimal looks but she worked it in this black dress with sheer panels and long sleeves. The slicked back hair, subtle cat eyes and dewy make-up really uplifted her look.

Zoe Saldana & Minka Kelly - Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic

Zoe Saldana joined Minka Kelly (and more) at the annual Polo Classic in New Jersey on Friday.

Minka in a simple dress was no surprise.  She looked pretty in a lacy white Zac Posen dress which was worn with Christian Louboutin sandals... no pumps!  Laid-back tresses and aviators completed her look.


Zoe Saldana shocked me a little bit, in her Theyskens' Theory t-shirt and leather shorts.  It seemed very out of place for a polo match.  A ponytail and tan sandals (Louboutins) concluded the look.

Zoe Saldana in Elie Saab - Cosmopolitan for Latinas Premiere Issue Party

Zoe Saldana was present at the first issue launch of Cosmopolitan for Latinas.

She looked adorable in a vintage Elie Saab dress.  The silver dress with a sheer floral bodice and tiered skirt could have been sickly sweet on someone else but works just fine on Zoe.

However, I wasn't too fond of her shoe choice - those Brian Atwood pumps feel mismatched.  She redeemed herself with her hair and make-up though.

Zoe Saldana In Alexis Mabille - The Hollywood Reporter and Jimmy Choo‘s 25 Most Powerful Stylists Luncheon

Zoe Saldana wore an Alexis Mabille Spring 2012 Couture dress to The Hollywood Reporter and Jimmy Choo‘s 25 Most Powerful Stylists Luncheon in West Hollywood yesterday with her stylist, Petra Flannery.

The coral coloured doily dress with a tulle hem was worn by Zoe with a metallic gold belt & matching Jimmy Choo pumps. 

  I wasn't a fan of the dress nor the pumps and this was ironic considering it was an event where stylists were being celebrated.

Zoe Saldana In Marios Schwab - Vanity Fair Oscar Party

Zoe Saldana wore a Marios Schwab Fall 2012 gown for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

The midnight blue satin dress had sheer shoulders and a flowing skirt. The jeweled collar adds sparkle to the dress.

 I feel like Zoe is the best candidate to really pull of this dress as she brings her own touch.  She finished her look with wavy hair, red lips, a Judith Leiber clutch and Giuseppe Zannoti heels.

Zoe Saldana In Balmain - 2012 Independent Spirit Awards

Zoe Saldana walked the purple carpet at the 2012 Independent Spirit Awards looking mighty fine in a Balmain Spring 2012 mini.

The floral dress with three-quarter sleeves also features an open back.

Zoe wore her hair in waves and completed the look with nude, ankle-strap Brian Atwood pumps which actually elongate her legs.

Zoe Saldana In Givenchy - 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Zoe Saldana wore a fresh from the house, Givenchy Haute Couture gown to the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Her shimmery white dress was bedazzled with spiky embellishments and sequins.  As gorgeous as the dress, I can't help but feel that it would have been more suited to someone with a fuller figure.  And that underlay looks too much like a tank top and hence looks odd.

Zoe wore it with a simple updo, drop earrings, dark pink lipstick and Giuseppe Zannoti heels.

Zoe Saldana In Alexander McQueen - 2012 Sundance Film Festival

Zoe Saldana attended the premiere of her movie 'The Words' which stars Bradley Cooper, at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah, on Friday.

The actress looked adorable in an Alexander McQueen Spring 2012 dress.  The textured black dress with a thick gold belt gives the slender Zoe curves, and I love her soft hairstyle & make-up.  The only complain of mine is regarding those chunky black heels.

Fashion Roundup

Anne Hathaway attended an event in LA wearing this black, halter-neck black column dress which is doing no favours for her!  The styling is so-so too.

Elle MacPherson wore a Tom Ford Fall 2011 dress for the National Television Awards in London.  Between the severe, braided ponytail, statement earrings and the embellished dress, this is just a mess.

Emmy Rossum did a television show appearance in a gorgeous, fuschia coloured DKNY Pre-Fall 2012 frock with a tied top and pleated skirt that she wore with nude pumps.  I would have preferred to see the top fully tucked in though.

For another television appearance, she opted for a printed Peter Pilotto sheath which she wore with a ponytail, lots of eyeliner, a black bangle and black pumps.  Another winning ensemble.

Jessica Chastain attended the Armani Prive Spring 2012 Couture show in Paris wearing a dress by the brand.  Love this black dress with a beaded orange collar, it's quite unexpected on Jessica.  

Claire Danes, who was chosen as Harvard's Hast Pudding Woman of the Year wore a printed Oscar de la Renta frock for the ceremony.  This look was just screaming for a pop of colour right?

Olivia Palermo attended the Christian Dior Spring 2012 couture show in a cream coloured tunic & leather leggings which she accessorised with a statement necklace, a feather cuff, a bright clutch and black booties. 

Zoe Saldana promoted her new movie at the Sundance Film Festival in this cute jean-top-blazer combo that she spruced up with forest green Brian Atwood shoes.

Zoe Saldana In Jason Wu - 'Audi & Martin Katz Kick off Golden Globes' Event

Zoe Saldana became the first celebrity to wear a piece from the  

Jason Wu Pre-Fall 2012 collection last night, at the Audi & Martin Katz Kick off Golden Globes event.

The backless chiffon dress has an embellished neckline with a leaf design.

Zoe looked incredibly elegant - with the low, teased bun, red lips, a Kara Ross silver clutch & black Brian Atwood heels.

The Best-Dressed of 2011

2011 has gone quicker than I thought it would and it's time to draw up my second annual 'Best-dressed' list! Happy holidays to one and all! xo
 

 10. Australian beauty Miranda Kerr takes the tenth spot in this list.

I know she's a supermodel and has the ability to wear anything and still look fantastic, however, I'm more a fan of her street style; her casual day looks range from basic neutrals to floral maxis and she looks effortlessly chic in everything (while carrying her baby in tow sometimes).
Oh, and she's pretty stunning in formal togs too.




9. Jessica Alba gave us all a master class in maternity style this year.

Maxi dresses are a fail-safe choice for any mother-to-be but Jess made sure to keep every look interesting by way of the dress, accessories, and hair.
My personal favourites are the floral, off-shoulder Dolce & Gabbana dress & teal coloured, swallow-print Issa maxi.




8. Leighton Meester is without a doubt, the shoe queen of the red carpet.

In 2011 she wowed me in all her ensembles and from the girly Vera Wang dress to the edgy Michael Kors gown, Leighton always kept things fun and fashionable.
And you'll (almost) never catch this girl in a pair of boring black pumps.




7.  Emma Watson takes spot number 7, for her enchanting, feminine sense of style.

Not one to be seen in skin-tight or short dresses, Emma sticks to her girly silhouettes and designs.  She went for that famous pixie hairstyle earlier this year and this only added to her charm.
Personal favourites are the Oscar de la Renta gown & the Jason Wu ensemble.




6. Sarah Jessica Parker made many red carpet appearances in 2011, largely because she starred in a movie ('I Don't Know How She Does It').

Her summer wardrobe also included a lot of clothes by one of my favourite designers - Prabal Gurung and she single-handedly revived the white pump trend.
SJP may overdo the crazy accessories at times, but you can't accuse her of looking boring.




5. I honestly don't know how I forgot to put Freida Pinto in my best-dressed last year because ever since the Indian actress starred in 'Slumdog Millionaire', she has been giving us stellar looks.

This year, Freida starred in a lot of movies, which was great for us as we saw a variety of fantastic looks from her.  Personal favourites are the Ralph Lauren jumpsuit & the Antonio Berardi dress.




4. Olivia Palermo is the only true blue fashionista on this list as she's not an actress.

The NYC based socialite and designer is known for her superb accessorising skills and the ability to put together stylish outfits from quirky separates.  Her signature items include her Stuart Weitzman sandals and a fringed clutch.




 3. Diane Kruger has been the most consistent this year.

The German actress kept firm hold of her fashion icon status by wearing her favourites like Chanel and Jason Wu but also ventured out in a high-fashion, neon Alessandra Rich gown (a favourite of mine).




2. Zoe Saldana takes the second spot on this list.  It's not hard to see why as Zoe has a really fun, playful view of fashion.

She's always ahead of the pack, wearing pieces fresh off the runway and I have to say, she's one of those rare ladies in Hollywood who can carry off an ankle-strap without making her legs look stumpy.




  1. Leading the charge is Emma Stone.  This really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

The girl starred in three big movies ('Friends with Benefits', 'Crazy, Stupid, Love.' & 'The Help') and wore designs from virtually every label in the world.
I love how Emma always looks confident & comfortable in whatever she's wearing - she wears the dress, not the other way around.

Zoe Saldana In Rena Lange - Trevor Project's 2011 Trevor Live

Zoe Saldana, along with other celebrities, attended the Trevor Project's Trevor Live event held in LA.

Zoe wore a fun, crochet mini by Rena Lange with gorgeous blue flower earrings.

An elegant updo, smokey eyes, glossy lips & ankle-strap Louboutins heels were the finishing touches.

Zoe Saldana In Giambattista Valli - Beat The Odds Awards

Zoe Saldana wore a Giambattista Valli Fall 2011 skirt & blouse combo to the Children's Defence Fund's 21st Annual Beat The Odds Awards in Beverley Hills.

As cute as the puff sleeve blouse and tweed skirt with neon pink stripes are, they just don't seem to fit Zoe's slender frame well, some nip & tuck was necessary.

She wore the look with a wavy updo, gold earrings, dark berry lipstick and white Giuseppe Zannoti peeptoes.

Michael Kors Boutique Opening

Michael Kors opened a boutique on Robertson Boulevard, LA.

Zoe Saldana attended wearing a canary yellow Michael Kors Spring 2012 sheath with tan heels; wavy hair, classic red lips, and a caramel croc clutch - best dressed for me.

Cat Deeley wore a tan coloured, zip-front Spring 2012 dress with her signature mane of blonde locks, and knotted tan sandals.

Minka Kelly wore a white fitted dress from the Resort 2012 line with her favourite nude Brian Atwoods.

Fashion Roundup

Sienna Miller wore a black romper from her fashion line Twenty8Twelve at a party in London, and went very chic with her updo, gold hoops and heels.  The hairstyle was a welcome change from her usually messy hair.

Zoe Saldana brightened up the Lanvin party in LA, by wearing a colour block fringe dress by the label, with cool ankle-strap heels and an even cooler statement necklace.

Kate Bosworth & Rachel Bilson partied with their favourite jacket designer: Vanessa Bruno.

Kate looked stylish in an embroidered white shift, worn with volumised hair, a delicate shoulder bag, tights and heels.

Rachel Bilson's outfit didn't quite work out.  The olive coloured blouse & jacket are all fine, but the boy shorts and berry coloured boots are ruining this look.

The 'Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1' promotional tour continues.

Ashley Greene was in Chicago in simple white sheath, worn with a sleek ponytail, a black box clutch and red lips; but the shoes aren't working: too pointy!

Nikki Reed stuck to her breezy style, in a polka-dot Dolce & Gabbana frock, she too wore pointy black pumps, how disappointing.

Nicole Richie promoted her line, Winter Kate, at Nordstrom in a floaty-sleeve, printed mini from the line, and added colour and interest via the citrus satin pumps.

Emma Stone attended the Museum of Natural History gala in a persimmon hued Carven maxidress, paired with a large, moss coloured clutch.  As cute as she looks, the empire waist of the dress isn't flattering, and that clutch is too large & too casual.  But the colourful Tabitha Simmons heels are spot on.

Zoe Saldana In Elie Saab - 2011 Latin Grammy Awards

Two sightings of Spring 2012 Elie Saab dresses within two days is pretty darn amazing.

Zoe Saldana wore a kelly green, sequined column gown with a crew-neck, cap sleeves & a green belt at the 2011 Latin Grammy Awards, held in Las Vegas.

She looks gorgeous, I love the colour and her soft wavy hairstyle & make up are cute!

Zoe Saldana In Gucci - LACMA's Art & Film Gala

Zoe Saldana, along with other stars, descended down the red carpet for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's (LACMA) Art & Film Gala, sponsored by Gucci.

Predictably, Gucci was a very popular label for the night.

Zoe wore a black & gold dress by Gucci, with cool matching heels.

A messy updo, blue eye-shadowed eyes and cute gold flower earrings were her accessories.

Zoe Saldana in Antonio Berardi

Zoe Saldana wore another Spring 2012 look on the red carpet, at the Gen Art Fresh Faces of Fashion event.

It was an Antonio Berardi number for her this time.

I love the futuristic feel of this blush pink mini, with bold shoulders, cutouts and a satin panel.

Zoe wore the look with wavy hair, silver jewels, a shimmery grey box clutch and white peeptoes.
