Kristen Stewart Zuhair Murad Nude Dress Twilight Saga Premiere

I'm not a Twilight fan but having seen the red carpet for the UK premiere yesterday I was astounded by how pretty Kristen Stewart looked. For me her hair and makeup was perfection and I was madly in love with the nude / champagne color of her Zuhair Murad strapless evening gown. 

HOWEVER I do wish she had gone with the original design that appears to have more fabric and panels. There is quite alot of bending, reaching and stretching that goes on on the red carpet of a premiere and you can be sure that all those awkward moments will be snapped. Having said that it did strike me that the dress was a very strategic move as the rest of the cast opted for pretty and safe looks. Do you think there is just a little too much "nude" in this look or are you loving it?

Enjoy!

Trend Spotting - Celebrity Style Embroidery

We are so delighted to see some of our favorite fashion trends going strong and being worn beautifully on the red carpet. Look for features such as lace, sheer fabric, embroidery, over the knee styles and sleeves to get in on what's trending.

Zoe Saldana is always a favorite with her infectious smile and she did not let us down with her latest outing for the premier of "The Words". The lovely actress wore one of our favorite designers - Elie Saab. Her gold embroidered lace dress from the Fall 2012 couture collection was perfectly ladylike with it's over the knee length and three quarter sleeves. There is a hint of sexiness in the silhouette cut close to her frame and the sheer aspects of the dress. Beautifully done Zoe!

 

Selena Gomez continued the trend in a Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2012 dress featuring sheer fabric, embroidery and lace. We love the overall styling and would love to add this dress to our wardrobe. Even though we are amongst the biggest fans of ladylike dressing we do feel this is a tad too mature for someone as young as Selena...perhaps it's just the color?  Considering this was a photocall for her new movie "Spring Breakers" something a little more playful with all the same details would have been more suitable. Other than that the look is flawless.

 

 

Vanessa Hudgens was cute as a button and ever so ladylike when she hit the red carpet with Selena Gomez for "Spring Breakers" in this darling black and white 50's style dress from Blumarine. We love the black embroidered leaf overlay and the sheer boat neck detail. This is one of those perfect dresses that can be worn by women in a range of ages and is flattering to a number of shapes.

Steal Her Style - Jessica Biel Total Recall Photocall lace dress

Lace dresses have become a forgone conclusion when you're looking for something fantastically feminine. It's a go to for the evenings but has also slipped into our day wear over the past few years and what's not to love?

We are particularly loving some of the new patterns and cuts. It's taken lace dressing away from the uber sexy and softened it into a much more lady like and subtle version that is easy for everyone to wear.

At a photocall for "Total Recall" yesterday Jessica Biel took our breath away in a wonderful Oscar De La Renta knee length knit dress with sequin top and embroidered skirt. The skirt reminds us somewhat of doilies but we like this heavier take on lace as it creates structure and depth that you sometimes cannot get with lace. Even though Jessicas' skirt is sheer the overall look is still demure and pretty. We also love that it looks like a skirt and top ensemble making it easier to recreate a similar look at home. This would be a wonderful look for a wedding guest ... but be careful not to draw too much attention away from the bride ;)

For a fresh and youthful take on this look we have this French Connection mini sequin tank.

Paired with this Sea NY the look is fun and flirty.

For a sexier look opt for a cami style or tank top like this brushed gold one by Buckle

Pair it with a skirt like this one by Burberry for sophisticated glamour.

Enjoy!
