2012 Women in Film Crytsal + Lucy Awards

The 2012 Women in Film Crystal + Lucy Awards took place in Beverley Hills last night.

Chloe Moretz wore an off-shoulder black satin cocktail dress by Max Mara and looked super cute, especially because of the black headband.  Chloe hardly ever disappoints in the shoe section - she wore Rupert Sanderson sandals.

Jenna Dewan wore a Max Mara jumpsuit with a halter neck accompanied by a yellow clutch.  The hair is killing this look for me.

Meryl Streep was elegant in a long sleeved, ivory Max Mara dress with a black waist band but Viola Davis looked sexy in a strapless black Max Mara dress.

Max Mara Cocktail Party

Lots of beautiful ladies came out for the Max Mara cocktail party, at the Sunset Tower in West Hollywood on June 11th.  The party was in honour of Chloe Moretz for winning the Women in Film 2012 MaxMara Face of the Future Award.

Nina Dobrev was beautiful in an angelic ensemble of a ruffle top and fitted white skirt.  She accessorised with a turquoise clutch and silver Miu Miu sandals.

Chloe looked sweet in a three-quarter dress in a fresh, aqua colour.  It was worn with wavy locks and white peep-toes with yellow platforms.

Jennifer Morrison was radiant in a strapless, orange dress with pleating that she wore with a sleek bun and nude peep-toes.

Olivia Munn attended the event in an aubergine hued strapless, chiffon dress.  Sparkle was added via her glittering, gold Sergio Rossi heels.

Viola Davis In MaxMara - Women In Film Pre-Oscar Cocktail Party

Viola Davis stepped for without a wig for the second time this week at the Women In Film Pre-Oscar Cocktail Party.

The actress looked smashing in the violet wrap-dress by MaxMara.  Normally I'd be against the floral addition but I think it lends the dress some visual interest.

Black earrings & pumps completed her look.

More Potter Style

It'd be very rude of me to pass on the other stars' style at the "Harry Potter" premiere so here goes.

Bonnie Wright glowed in a blush pink Miu Miu top & silk satin skirt. She looks so pretty, I'm going to overlook the inevitabley crinkled skirt.

Clemence Poesy had her ballerina moment in a flouncy white Nina Ricci white dress which she wore with black peeptoes; so elegant!

J. K. Rowling's floral Oscar de la Renta gown was the picture of elegant English summer style.

Helena Bonham Carter brought kook with her bottle-green silk gown and the floral blossoms perched on her, quite precociously actually. There's no denying it, the lady has individuality.

Emma Roberts attended the after party, wearing a a ruched MaxMara dress with Sergio Rossi peeptoes - she looks great, and I actually prefer her look over Emma Watson's Elie Saab dress.

Trend Watch: Wide Legged Bottoms

Wide legged trousers, suits and jumpsuits have been very popular this year, from MaxMara (Spring 2011) to Michael Kors (Fall 2011) and more, the trend has been everywhere on runways.

Katie Holmes and Ashley Greene sported this trend at a MaxMara dinner.

Katie went for a double-breasted suit, and while I'm not entirely sure about the fit of the trousers, she does carry this suit off well and her hair and make up are spot on.

Ashley Greene wore a wide legged jumpsuit and added layered pearl necklaces; I think that a bright colour would have been more fun, and a sleek ponytail would have worked better.

Rosie Huntington Whiteley was seen going into a studio in NYC wearing a suit by Michael Kors with a halter neck blouse - she looked statuesque and managed to work that backless top.

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.

Berlin Calling Part Two

Jennifer Aniston & Brooklyn Decker walked the red carpet for the German premiere of "Just Go With It" in Berlin.

Jen wore a black dress by Nina Ricci with a pouffy shoulder detail - it's a little too girly-girly for me, I would have loved to see something like this, an Oscar de la Renta, it fits in with Jen's simple taste perfectly but is more appropriate.

Brooklyn wore a purple jumpsuit with a slit on the leg by Max Mara, with orange shoes by the label too. I'm not impressed - the shoes are a downer and the jumpsuit just doesn't fit Brooklyn well, a bra would have helped too.

This Week in Fashion

Been a tad busy this week, so I'm rounding up my fashion faves of this week in this one post. First up, Elizabeth Banks, looking smashing in a canary yellow Max Mara dress - fab. Then there's the age defying Mrs. Kutcher looking half her age in a Topshop blazer, a low cut tunic an d motorcycle leggings. Reese Witherspoon comes next in a sweet little Jason Wu number at an Avon event. Freida Pinto continues with her amazing sartorial choices, wearing this pink Resort 2011 Marchesa gown, love that she let the dress do the talking by going jewelery-less. Halle Berry looked hawwwwt in a short silver dress which she wore with such elegance! Leighton Meester looks like such a doll in an all Ellie Saab ensemble, love every single thing about it. Jessica Biel & Eva Mendes were spotted at the same event looking gorgeous! Biel wore a black lacy Oscar de La Renta while Eva wore a beautiful corset number from Lela Rose which really suited her complexion. All in all, good week for these celebs!
