Oscars Glam : Best Dressed 2013

Well if you're anything like me, barricaded in by the relentless icy grip of winter, its nice to see someone, somewhere wearing something strapless. These Hollywood stars made me smile, vicariously enjoying their moment in the sun. I mean forget the dresses , I would swap with a homeless man in Hollywood right now. Any whoo these dresses were too beautiful to not share so here it is my Annual Oscars Best Dressed.

1.

 Giorgio Armani

Boom - that's one sexy Red Head!Jessica Chastain expertly avoids making her fair skin washed out with the wrong colours. This beautiful golden nude dress with art deco detail  crystal overlay is to die for, making her my favourite look of the day. 

L A W // of life know your look & work it be you to the fullest.

 

Kristen Stewart in Reem Acra

This is bitter sweet for me because I don't love K-Stew -  she usually looks grungy, dirty and awkward but  this is none of these things. I love how she looks in this beautiful Reem Acra Couture dress. I love Reem Acra ( see earlier NYFW post) and Kristen  makes this gown look young and chic. So yeah, she's alright... it turns out a beautiful dress can change everything. Go Kristen.

Woohoo! My girl,  the beautiful Kerry Washington is all shades of happening in this Mui Mui gown. Elegantly understated, Kerry decides against jewellery and allows the bold neck embellishment to do the talking. She looks a million bucks.

Valentino knows how to dress a woman , and Jenifer Aniston looks beautiful in this bold red evening gown, with a luxuriously full skirt and sculpted waist.

 

Charlize Theron lets her face do the talking with her cropped haircut and simplistic Dior white gown, complimented subtly with Harry Winston Jewellery.

I may just like this because it's Jenifer Hudson and I am impressed with how great she looks for losing all that weight- I don't usually like front slits ( tacky) but I do like the fabric and shimmer of this midnight blue fitted dress. So yes I guess its not just Jen, I do love this Valentino gown.

 

George Clooney's plus one Stacy Keibler ensures all eyes are on her in this bold yet subtle, powerful yet elegant Naeem Khan metallic gown.

                      Amy Adams floats on a cloud in this dreamy Oscar De La Renta gown.

 Guilty pleasure here as this gold may be criticised by some for being a bit tacky, but I just love how regal Catherine Zeta Jones looks in this Zuhair Murad gown.

Sandra Bullock looks as lovely as the night sky ( corny but whatever) in this Elie Saab beaded gown

Oscar De La Renta NYFW- Galliano Speculation

Ooh I hear from a little birdie ( ok not just one, its been a hot topic) that John Galliano has set up camp at Oscar de la Renta. The foot in mouth designer has been on the untouchable list since dismissal at Dior, with only a few bold enough to make press ' eye contact'. Well today the Oscar De La Renta  unvailed his AW13 collection, the first since getting in bed with Galliano- leaving the fashion tweeters to speculate as to how much influence he had on the collection ( great PR tactic). Well I dont know about you but the accentuation of the the female form and the style of these jackets look suspiciously Dior New Look to me. Well who ever has had their finger in this design pot I like it. Whats your verdict?

My 2 cents?

The accentuated and defined waists may be very Galliano Dior, but the experimentation and expression through fabrics is all Oscar De La Renta- As for the drama- I would say thats the both of them ;)

The Rise of : THE STATEMENT SKIRT

Click for this seasons sexiest statement skirts.

Well I do love a good entrance, and what better way to arrive then a floaty chiffon skirt smoothly floating on a summer breeze. This summer must have item seems to be the skirt. Often over looked, this season skirts have received a much needed style over haul. A popular style is skirts with a raised hemline at the front offering a unique and interesting take on the classic maxi skirt, and, of course, a chance to show off those tanned legs whilst remaining classy. Chic Chiffon is also a great fabric in use right now, I love the movement it creates, granting an air of regality with every step- demanding a double take. 

1. Oscar De La Renta.

Came across this metallic number and fell in love. Check out the shimmer sway sparkle swagger.

Have a look at this multi levelled chiffon skirt by Georgia Hardinge via Wolf and Badger (www.wolfandbadger.com) . I love the trademark geometric design of the underskirt and the cooling effects of the choice in fabric colour, soothing like an ocean breeze.

Lace cut out sensation from Zara 2012 SS collection available online & in store. I love this because its easy to dress up or down from day to night.

Another from Zara, for that it statement print this look is the perfect item to an edge to your ensemble, team with a  cool blouse or light tank top. This vibrant skirt would go perfect with tanned legs.

Hope you enjoy this seasons greats of statement skirts. Now get shopping!

Love
