Red Carpet Alert!: Lots of Lace

Lace is on the carpet every year. It almost seems as if its worn everyday. But it stcks around because lace is elegant, sophsticated, and looks great on women of all sizes. Wonder what famous faces have been sporting this classic look? Ladies like Emma Watson, Lauren Conrad, and so many more! Just check it below.

Brits know how to rock delicate lace. But then Chung and Watson know how to manipulate any trend to make it work for them. Both of them are British powerhouses in the world of fashion. Adore the feathers on the bottom of Watson's dress and the unexpected band of lace around her middle.

Lauren Conrad in Marchesa [left] and Eva Longoria in a nude gown with lace overlay [right].

Lauren's look has to be my favorite. Probably because a great white moment is perfection. Add a messy bun and nude heels and the look is complete. Speaking of nude, Longoria is breathtaking in her Old Hollywood inspired gown.

Sarah Jessica Parker [left] and Kate Bosworth [right] both in Burberry.

Burberry. The word jsut always puts a smile on my face. And both these ladies look amazing in lace. Parker's pale pink Alexander McQueen bag adds a nice pop of color to a mostly neutral look. And Bosworth looks stunning in cream. Simply adore!

With so many ways to use lace, is there any question why these lovely ladies love the look? [nice use of alliteration, huh? my english teacher would be so proud] Which look is your favorite? I'm always a sucker for Burberry but I really love Lauren's look. :) If you liked what you read please become a follower! You'll get updates whenever  I blog. Please?

2010 AMA: Best Dressed

The AMA's aired Sunday night on ABC. Justin Beiber was the big music winner of the night but let's be honest. The fashion is what everyone is talking about. And in that arena women of music and non-music backgrounds shimmered and shined in the spotlight.

Miley Cyrus in Marchesa [left] and Jessica Alba in Cushnie Ochs [right].

In this hand-painted Marchesa creation--with an extended train--Miley is looking grown up and beautiful. The white color contrast stunningly with her slightly tanned skin and newly dyed blonde-ish hair. Miley chose to accesorize the look with sparkly silver shoes, silver bangles, and bold red nails.

Jessica looks simple and stunning in this structure one-shoulder look. She doesn't intend to steal attention away from nominees [she presented Favorite Female Country Artist to the straigth-haired Taylor Swift] but with her effortless style Jessica steals manages to shine on the red carpet.

Fergie in Falguni and Shane [left] and Mandy Moore in Matthew Williamson [right].

Fergie stuns in a super short blue and black peacock inspired look. The strong shoulders with feathers are so chic. She pushes the limits without making her outfit look too costume-y. Nice choice Fergie. :)

Mandy Moore sparkles in this fun, young mini-dress. Her new animated-feature, Tangled, is coming out Thanksgiving weekend and I know that I'm interested, how did Disney continue on in the iconic Disney Princesses? She looks so confident--and that is key when picking out a dress.

Whitney Port in a Rafael Cennamo [left] and Heidi Klum in a sheer lace dress [right].

Whitney, sporting a darker hair-color than we're used to, shines in this Greccian inspired dress. The berry-white color and simple brown shoes are effortless. There si no doubt that Whitney looks stunning.

Ms. Klum stunned viewers with her simple lace gown. In a dress that could've easily looked like a woman in mourning, Heidi manages to look young and fashion-forward. Her dangling ball earrings bring attention to her strong bone structure and beaming style. Seal is one lucky man.

Taylor Swift in Collette Dinnigan [left] and Katy Perry in Badgley Mischka [right].

Taylor relies on her usual sparkly, girly style. But something that isn't the norm is Taylor Swift's sleek straight hair and blunt bangs. No one else grabs this amount of attention with a simple straightener. Katy takes a more subtle approach than what we're used to. No flashes lights. No blue hair. Just a subtle rose. Beautiful.

The highlight of the show for me was the NKOTB and BSB performance. I was a huge fan of the BSB when I was little. It was nice to see them perform again. Oh, did you like Taylor with her straight hair? Comment below!

Love, Drugs, and Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway is the star of the new film called Love and Other Drugs. Hence the title. :) The movie will be in theathers in time for Thanksgiving weekend. I'm excited. But the more important question is are you? Another equally important question: what look is your favorite?

The Valentino gown. The Valentino gown. Sigh. That dress is the perfect princess dress. I would not change a thing. Anne has played many princesses in her time but she's never looked more the part, than right here. The loose hair is fun and young but because it is pushed behind her shoulders, all the attention is on how beautiful that gown is. A stunning red carpet moment.

I picked two extremes. Ultimate glamour and totally casual. The navy blazer fits her in all the places it should. That is the mark of a great tailor. She is walking somewhere witha  purpose and she looks amazing. Those flats are the perfect mix of comfort and fashion--not exactly the easiest thing to do.

Marchesa. The brand for glamour, fun, and beautiful details. Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig are masters of making gowns that make an impact on camera and in real life. They know how to make a woman look and feel sexy. That blue color is so vibrant and is such a great contrast with her bold, red lipstick. Brava Anne! :)

Next, another casual look. On some level I like casual looks better than red carpet looks. They give me ideas about what I want to put in my own closet, although don't get me wrong--I love the fantasy of the red carpet. But that's all it is fantasy. Most woman will never get the chance to wear a Marchesa gown to a movie premiere but we can always hope, can't we? In this look Anne is sleek, modern and totally put together.

I don't think I mentioned this earlier but Jake Gyllenhaal  is her co-star in Love and Other Drugs. Click here to check out the trailer. On another more somber note, I'd like to thank all those who have or are serving in the armed forces. Your sacrafice is appreciated. And thank you to all the families of those serving in the armed forces. I hope you have a nice Veteran's Day.

The Hathaway Diaries

 Anne Hathaway is synonymous with Hollywood glamour. She is a chameleon. Anne artfully can play a dowdy girl turned fashionista, teenage princess, ground-breaking English author, and off-beat queen with equal grace and believability.

But what makes her so iconic, is her ability to connect with her fans. She seems so accessible, like the girl next door or your sister's best friend. And she appears so humble. A refreshing change of pace from the cocky celebrities that grace magazine's today.

"When you finally realize...that you can still be sexy without trying to be, it's such a great relief. When uncondensed you is enough." Hathaway in in a Miu Miu tank, draped in jewels from Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Chopard [left]. Hathaway in Isaac Mizrahi.

In her youth, Anne was very determined in pursuit of her passion for acting. "I was afraid to let anything in that might distract me...because I had so much riding on it." With actors Josephine de la Baume[left] and Raphael Personnaz [middle], wearing a bold, strapless Marchesa dress.

"I'm very open, very trusting. Some might say too trusting, because considering the amount of money that can be made from selling gossip, I could be very easily taken advantage of." Hathaway wearing Isaac Mizrahi strapless gown and Marchesa clutch.

Joking about her high hair-do Anne says, "It's Holly Golightly meets Marge Simpson." Hathway in Vera Wang [left] and with French actor, Raphael Personnaz, in a Oscar de la Renta gown and Jimmy Choo [right].

Lately I've become obsessed with the song, Animal, by Neon Trees. What songs have you been listening to? What was your favorite look? Please comment below. I love hearing your thoughts. :) 

Rachel Zoe and Friends

Rachel Zoe is pregnant! :) Or at least that's what I heard on E!News. I'm so excited. Rachel, Brad, and Rodger are so fun to watch on The Rachel Zoe Project. Did anyone see the spoof that was featured on one of the later episodes. I love the way she talks. :) Take a look below!

Anyway, to celebrate her rumored pregnancy I thought I'd do a post featuring her and her designer friends. I know. She's such a lucky girl. I wish I could hang out with Marc Jacobs and Nicole Richie.

I wish her all the luck in this exciting and life-changing time. :) I think she would be an amazing mother. She just has to slow down. And try to conquer the fashion world at a slower pace. Plus, her children would be the best-dressed children in Hollywood.

Bye! See you guys soon. Um...if you want more Viva la Fashion follow on Facebook or Subscribe through Google Friend Finder! What do you think of Rachel?
