Rose Byrne opted to wear a vintage Elie Saab jumpsuit on the red carpet this past weekend. I am normally all about the rompers and jumpsuits (even at fancy events like this one) but this one is leaving me pretty uneasy. Byrne certainly has the body to pull of anything but, when push comes to shove, I’m just not feeling it.

There are a whole lot of sparkles, textures and general retro-ness going on with this outfit (hello, shoulder detailing). I kind of wish I could just chop the bottom off of this jumpsuit and send the Bridesmaids actress on her way.

Come to think of it, I might fix her bob at the same time… Read More »

Award season never fails to provide an endless array of ‘best and worst’ fashion. We won’t pretend to be above it. The 2012 SAG Awards had more than a few interesting wardrobe decisions to consider. Some that even beg the question: What were they thinking? Joan would totally be suspicious.

Check out what we imagine had to be running through these celeb’s head as they were getting ready for the red carpet.

Something just feels a bit off to me about this Marchesa dress. Lea Michele wore it to the People’s Choice Awards earlier this month. I tend to be a seriously opinionated person, especially when it comes to fashion, but I am pretty torn on this one. On first glance, I just thought she looked kind of revealed, wrapped in some thin thread that is likely to unravel at any given moment, leaving the Glee star rocking nothing but her birthday suit on the red carpet. I also don’t love the fringe on the bottom…

On second glance, I appreciate the intricate design, her pink lip, and the sheer fact that this dress isn’t very conventional. But I suppose that doesn’t necessarily make the dress attractive…

Like I said, I’m torn.

So what do you think, hot or hot mess?

Julianne is a senior originally from the Bay Area. She loves football, sushi, and sunshine. Ultimately, she spends far too much time lusting after red-soled shoes and reading fashion blogs. 

Ok, so maybe I’m a little extra heated because she’s apparently engaged to my dream man, but I think that Biel could do a lot better than this lacey frock by Elie Saab. It was almost as though she was flaunting her romantic news (even though I can’t spy a ring or JT!) by wearing a wedding gown-like dress. Slow down there honey, you’re not walking down the aisle yet!

There is a whole lot of lace going on and I am really not into the little flower belt thingy either. I feel like she’s channeling her inner G-ma with this one…

Definitely not bringing sexy back.

The one thing I’ll give her is perfect styling. The simple nude lipstick and flowy hair was necessary for such a statement dress.

So what do you think, hot or hot mess?

Oh Kate, you’ve made some mistakes in your life — remember Peter Doherty?* — and sometimes your style is questionable. Well, quite often it’s questionable. But you always manage to pull it off with that effortless thing you have going on and that devil-may-care pout. But seriously, what is this? Is it 1995 again? Did you stumble into the underwear drawer of a giantess hooker and fall into one of her huge fishnet stockings?

Kate Moss wore this black string dress…thing to the British Fashion Awards two weeks ago. She paired the dress, designed by pal Stella McCartney, with Louboutins and a Mongolian fur coat. She added red lips and a small black clutch. Read More »

I can’t physically express my envy in writing this post.

As a poor, fashion-obsessed college student, my one dream is for some Chanel. A Chanel bag would be the dream. Just one beautiful piece of black and white monogrammed beauty. Or a vintage Chanel tweed jacket. Or a dress. Or even just some tights…

I digress. Lady Gaga stepped out at Barneys, New York to celebrate the opening of the Gaga Workshop Holiday Window, in an outfit designed for her personally by the God of fashion, Karl Lagerfeld. The gown involved a classic Chanel white and tweed jacket and a full, Victorian-style skirt with an asymmetric hem. Gaga accessorized with her trademark red lips and shades, black gloves, a homage to Coco Chanel herself with an amazing black-and-white headpiece and pearls and, of course, insane shoes.

This is a really classy look for Gaga, with no skin on show, and is perfectly Chanel while also being 100% Gaga. It’s so classy, but also a dream princess gown that lights up the little girl in me. She looks like the fairy on top of the Christmas tree. I absolutely adore this dress, but I don’t think it’s for everyone.

So what do you think, hot or hot mess?

Kirsten Dunst wore this Rodate Spring 2012 dress to the Museum of Contemporary Arts Gala earlier this week. She is the first celebrity to wear the new-season empire gown, which featured a strapless bodice and aqua and lace tiers. She paired it with pretty makeup and 40s style hair, diamond jewellery and a Chanel clutch.

I am just really not feeling this dress. Maybe it’s because I’m curvy, but I just don’t feel shapeless dresses. It also seems to be a little bit too big for her and hangs kinda awkwardly. Without her hand on her hip, her whole shape kinda gets lost. I’m not a massive fan of the colour either- I know it’s a big thing to wear next season, but it just feels kinda inappropriate and weird to be wearing such a summery colour, and such a summery style, in the middle of November. There just seems to be something missing, whether that’s a more-dramatic eye, a bolder lip, dazzling shoes or stand-out accessories, but the look just seems to feel a little incomplete. Read More »

Daisy Lowe went for a goth-rock look for the Harper’s Bazaar Woman of the Year awards earlier this week. She wore a tuxedo-style dress cut short at the front, and long at the back from the Jean Paul Gaultier Fall 2010 runway. She paired the look with dark red lips (and a matching Lulu Guiness clutch) and YSL patent pumps.

She added lots of black eyeliner and black nails, and kept her legs bare beneath the dress.

This dress is all kinds of weird (is it even a dress?). It’s trying to be both sexy and conservative, and both feminine and masculine all at the same time. I just don’t really get it. Admittedly, I’m not wild on this whole mullet-hem thing that the celebs at loving at the moment, but this just seems to look like two different outfits. Read More »

Amanda Seifried stepped out on the red carpet for the In Time premiere in London in a blue shorts and blazer combo from H&M.

Yes, that H&M.

I don’t know how I feel about this. I mean, I think the look is killer (many people are sure to disagree with me), but I also think wow, if I was rich and famous enough to be prancing around on the red carpet, I’m not sure H&M would be my first choice for my attire. But I do like this outfit, purely because it’s different, it’s unconventional. It’s not a huge pouffy ball-gown, but it is a statement outfit. Bright blue with short shorts, and of course, heels.

The blazer and shorts are from the H&M Eco-conscious range for their Spring 2012 line and is due to arrive in store in April 2012. Amanda paired it with a black blouse and Sergio Rossi pumps. Her hair was in pretty waves, with a smokey eye and pink lips. Read More »

Jennifer Aniston rocked some serious side-boob at the 18th Anniversary Elle Awards this week. She wore a plunging silver Kaufman Franco dress, shortened from the Fall 2011 catwalk, ditching her usual black ensembles. She paired it with Balenciaga sandals, a silver Ferragarno clutch and Fred Leighton earrings. She kept her usual beachy waves and simple makeup.

This dress is simply stunning. Yeah, it’s a lot of skin to be showing, but heck, if I look that good at 42 I think I’d be rocking the super-short length and plunging neckline too. However, I don’t think the actual shape of the dress is that flattering. It’s kind of loose around the middle and doesn’t flatter her entire yoga-toned bod, but I think with that cleavage and those legs, no-one is looking at her middle! Read More »
