Emma Stone Embroidered Elegance at 'Crazy, Stupid, Love' World Premiere


Actress Emma Stone delighted in a short-sleeved embroidered black dress by Tom Ford at the world premiere of "Crazy, Stupid, Love" in New York City on Tuesday, July 19, 2011.

Not only was she looking oh-so-elegant in the dress, but even more impressive was the fact that she walked the same carpet for her other film "Friends With Benefits" just twenty-four hours ago in Zeigfeld Theater.

The star paired the dress with 19th century diamond tassel earrings and a diamond ring by Fred Leighton. Black metallic heels finished off her look.

Stone's hair was worn down and simply styled to leave the focus on her outfit. Light blusher, eye color, and a slick of red lip color set off her titian mane while her jewels basically said "bling it on" in an understated way.

The unusual fabrication of the dress done in classic black made for high drama, and Emma's figure carried it beautifully.

When a girl is all of 22 and has two Hollywood films releasing in the same week, it's a sure sign she's one hot property!

Jennifer Aniston Breathtakingly Beautiful at UK Premiere of Horrible Bosses


Jennifer Aniston rocked a glittering Grey Valentino shift dress and luminous golden tan at the UK premiere of her new film, Horrible Bosses, at the BFI Southbank, London on Wednesday, July 20.

The 42-year-old actress wore a shoulder baring knee length couture dress, embellished with sequins and featuring braided high neck and waist.

She accessorized with white satin Tom Ford peep-toes with ankle straps, chandelier earrings and a rock each in both her ring fingers.

Her wide swept wind blown hair framed her face. Her luminous golden tan, acquired with St. Tropez Gold Skin Illuminator, was accented by pink glossy lipstick and grey smoked eyes.

She was joined by co-stars Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Kevin Spacey and Charlie Day. She braved the chilly rain of a July evening in London by signing autographs and posing for photogs before heading inside for the film's screening.

Later she changed into an A-line LBD for the after party at Shoreditch House in London, arriving with boyfriend Justin Theroux.

Earlier in the day, Jennifer, along with her co-stars, and Horrible Bosses director Seth Gordon attended a photo call at The Dorchester wearing a racy black mini leather dress.

Produced at a cost of $35m, Horrible Bosses grossed $60 million in 10 days in the US. The film ranked #3 for the weekend.

The film bows in theaters in UK theaters on July 22.

Emma Watson Oxford Bound This Autumn


It seems that actress Emma Watson is returning to character, kind of.

Like the studious Hermione, the 21-year-old actress will again be hitting the books, only this time in England.

Watson is planning to do junior year abroad.

While speaking to the press about her blockbuster film "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2", she said, "I'm still a student at Brown."

Explaining her shift in a few months, the young brunette informed, "It's just that I'll spend my third year abroad-- at Oxford."

The Emster made known her intention of going back to the Ivy League university for senior year.

Last spring she had announced that she was transferring from Brown to an unspecified school. Her publicist clarified that she wanted to take a course of study not available at the Rhode Island school and affirmed that Watson loved her experience at the university.

Between Oxford and her sizzling film career, looks like the starlet will be racking up those frequent flyer miles!

Mila Kunis Drops Jaws at Gotham 'Friends With Benefits' Premiere


Hollywood beauty Mila Kunis gave us some PDA wearing a bodycon red Lanvin dress to the premiere of her latest flick "Friends With Benefits" in New York City.

The 27-year-old actress from "Black Swan" arrived wearing an uber-tight LRD with shirring at the bodice, shoulders, and waist. The dress stopped well below the knee to dramatic effect.

It was an outfit made for twentysomethings who can carry off both Oscar-worthy performances and very chic style.

Kunis wore 19th century gold and diamond earrings, a red enamelled-and-gold bracelet, a snake bracelet, and antique diamond finger rings by Fred Leighton to complement an already charming dress.

Her hair, styled elegantly in an updo, showed off her jewelry while the makeup put her best face forward. Brown shadow and heavy black liner highlighted her eyes, while soft red blusher and lip color went with the shade of her ensemble.

"Friends With Benefits" is a romcom based in NYC. Co-starring Justin Timberlake, it features a pair of coworkers who find that friendship and attraction are more complicated than they seem.

The film releases in theaters on July 22.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Lace Lure at Shanghai Transformers 3 Premiere



Rosie Huntington-Whiteley tormented in a Dolce & Gabbana white lace dress at a presser for Transformers: Dark of the Moon at the Waldorf Astoria in Shanghai, China on Thursday, July 14.

Admittedly, the torment wasn't as unbearable as seeing her nearly nude in the new Burberry fragrance campaign.

In Shanghai, she looked demure in the knee length bridal inspired number from the designer's Spring 2011 collection that accentuated her flawless supermodel body.

The Victoria's Secret angel accessorized with nude Christian Louboutin Pigalle Plato pumps and light diamond jewelry - twin heart earrings, hoop earrings and dainty twin layered diamond necklace.

Side swept swept hair styled with Hollywood waves and cranberry lipstick added to her stunning look.

She was accompanied to the event by co-star Shia LaBeouf and film's director, Michael Bay.

Rosie covers the July/August issue of Women's Health showing her toned body in black underwear and sleeveless cropped jacket.

She tells the magazine that she has two personalities:

"I'm girlie, but I'm also a tomboy. I'm a split personality like that."

Seeing how hot she is, we would have preferred she was two Rosies, not two personalities.

Olivia Wilde Ridiculous Romantic


Olivia Wilde says the failure of her marriage has not left her bitter and despite reports she is not a serial dater, just a 'ridiculous romantic.'

Wilde, 27, single since separating from husband of eight years, Tao Ruspoli, in February, has been spotted on dates with Ryan Reynolds, Bradley Cooper, Justin Timberlake, Ryan Gosling and Salman Rushdie.

Wilde features as cover girl for the new issue of Marie Claire; she tells the magazine that she is not involved with anyone and rues her celebrity status.

"It makes dating harder," she says. "You go on one date and everyone thinks you're dating. It sort of puts pressure on this little sprout, and tramples it. If someone becomes involved with you, they know they will be photographed and written about and investigated in some way."

In the accompanying cover story, Olivia opens up about the failure of her marriage that started as a fairy tale when at the age of 18 she eloped with Italian prince Ruspoli and married him in a 1,000-year-old castle.

"The trauma of the whole thing has been humbling, and for the first time, I'm a little bit wobbly," Olivia says of their separation.

She contrasts her sheltered existence as a newly wed with her present single status saying, "I'm a case of arrested development, in a way — from spending your 20s with someone who really loves to take care of you, as my husband did. But I think it's very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person."

Olivia and Tao continue to be friends because she says, "I can't keep any negative relationship."

"We're friends; his family is my family. You always have a choice to feel angry and not be friends. But I can't handle the idea of walking into a room and seeing someone I have bad blood with. I can't keep any negative relationship with anyone," she says.

Alluding to what tore them apart, Olivia says, "When the relationship becomes about working to make it work, it's lost that beauty and that optimistic bohemian sense that brought us together. I don't think love should be work."

"In the end, maybe it's just that I'm a ridiculous romantic. I have very high standards for every part of life — my work, my relationships, food, love. I can't just pretend."

Her penchant for high standards complicates her social life, she admits:

"I like clarity. I ask a lot of questions," she says.

Emma Watson Casts a Spell at NYC Premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows



Emma Watson exuded sartorial splendor in a Bottega Veneta statement gown at the NYC premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 at the Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall, NYC on Monday, July 11.

The 21-year-old British hottie rocked the cascading gown from the Fall 2011 collection of the Italian designer.

The strapless number had a chocolate brown fitted bustier bodice, constructed with a lack luster material.

The floor sweeping voluminous golden skirt was made from shining silk.

Emma accessorized with Giuseppe Zanotti chocolate brown platform peep toes and Lorraine Schwartz jewels - ball drop earrings and a chunky cocktail ring on her right hand index finger.

She styled her cropped hair slicked down with a defined side parting.

Her eyes befittingly cast a spell: heavily kohl lined, finished off with a golden leaf at the outer corners of the eyes and gold metallic eyeshadow at the inner V.

Her skin had a glossy finish and she wore nude lipgloss.

The look was new, fierce and ever so dramatic for the leading lady in one of the most talked about film of our times.

Emma posed on red carpet with co-stars, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint.

Well done Emma!

VPonsale Dress Review

In this post, I will be reviewing the quality of a dress I received from Dress.vponsale.co.uk which is a website that sells custom made dresses for all occasions. I decided to let my older sister pick a dress out for herself since her wedding is coming up. The dress she picked is going to be her dancing dress for the wedding.
When purchasing from online websites, it's best to avoid anything that's made of chiffon because chances are, it will look very cheap in person. This particular dress is made of Taffeta and the quality of the fabric is very nice. The dress she picked is called a mermaid dress because it's very form fitting through the top and middle, with a skirt that flares out near at the bottom to resemble the shape of a mermaid’s tail.

Price: £144.88 (about $228 USD)
Color: Ivory
Fitting: The dress fits my sister perfectly but the bust area is a bit loose because my sister intentionally made it bigger so that she could wear a padded bra. lol
Impressions: Fabric quality is good, true to color on the website. The intricate details includes a mesh design that is hand sewn onto the dress. This insures that the beads won't come off. Unfortunately, there were a few hanging threads and a fabric marker was missed on a lace at the back (picture below). I had to hand wash that spot myself and cut away the threads that were sticking out. Other than that, I have to say that the dress fits the price.
Time of delivery: It took about a month to receive the dress after the measurements were given. This is expected since the dress is custom made.

Back view. I just love the corset!

 Little red marking on the lace. I washed it off a bit.

Pictures of my sister wearing the dress.

Elle Fanning Named Spokesmodel for Marc by Marc Jacobs


Elle Fanning has landed a major fashion label deal as the new face of Marc by Marc Jacobs.

The 13-year-old actress features in a campaign lensed by Juergen Teller for the label's Fall 2011 collection.

It shows Elle as a young pale girl in retro makeover posing next to a desolate Grey wall and tree trunk, wearing a below knee length red dress and lace up red booties with tall socks; her blond wind blown hair draping her shoulders.

Elle's 17-year-old sister Dakota Fanning has been modeling for the label since she was 13; she first appeared in the spring/summer 2007 campaign.

Currently Dakota is the face of Marc Jacobs' newly launched fragrance, Oh Lola.

British actress Helena Bonham Carter fronts the main Marc Jacobs womenswear collection.

Elle recently wore Marc by Marc Jacobs to the 2011 Women in Film Crystal and Lucy Awards as well as to the 2011 Young Hollywood Awards.

Elle, who started working in films at age 4, has 21 films to her credit including two currently under production - Twixt Now and Sunrise and We Bought a Zoo.

Another young star was recently named face of a major fashion house; 14-year-old Hailee Steinfeld for Miu Miu.

Emma Watson Sartorial Splendor and Pixie Charm at Harry Potter Premiere


Emma Watson made our night shimmer at the film premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 in London's Trafalgar Square on July 7, 2011.

The 21-year-old chose a pale sleeveless Oscar de la Renta gown with partially-transparent top and a skirt made from unevenly-cut layers of blue tulle. Smoky eye color, pink lipstick, and pale blusher went with the neutral color of the dress, while its billowing shape suited both her figure and the magical theme of the film.

Watson typically favors very neutral shades on the red carpet as they flatter her pale English skin. Accessories included a pair of simple drop earrings which would not compete with her ensemble.

Always perfectly dressed when it comes to Hollywood events, the petite actress likes to get it right. We suppose that's a given when you're also a model and spent the first five years of your life in Paris.

Jennifer Aniston Endearing Chinese Theater Honoree


Jennifer Aniston looked lively and playful during her hand and footprint ceremony at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles on July 7, 2011.

The 42-year-old 'Horrible Bosses' star made a cool style statement in a white patterned summer frock by Prada, her famous pins wearing nude peeptoe Gucci heels.

Makeup was light and demure, going along with the daytime look of the outfit. Eyes, cheeks, and lips wore hues of pink which all set off the actress' sharp blue eyes. Her hair was stick straight and parted in the middle.

We loved the dress because it said basically, she works out and it shows. Her high-heeled shoes made it just formal enough for a Hollywood event and the neutral color went well with her ensemble.

As for the expression, we're not sure whether it was because current flame Justin Theroux shaved off his beard, or because she heard Prince William would be in town. Either way, it works.
