That night , Rihanna opted for the bad girl image again and pulled off a figure hugging black mini leather single-shouder dress.

Dress like Cate Blanchett: Futuristic style trend Spring 2009

Sandra the editor — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 17:12:29 +0000

I have to say every time Cate Blanchett steps out on the red carpet, she is one of a few that always catch my attention! Not like other beauties who wow the audience with her va-va-voom, Cate has some special that I admire her very much: she can carry off trendy fashion and still be elegant and gorgeous every time.

Cate Blanchette isn’t a high profile actress but that doesn’t mean she knows nothing about fashion and style. Case and point can be found on her recent promotion of her new movie “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”. Cate dressed up in Alexander McQueen golden dress few days before successfully made an amazing fashion impact, but this girl still brings the fashion play on and hit the rep carpet with the Balenciaga futuristic metallic dress Balenciaga Spring 2009 collection in the Australian premiere of “The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttonat” the Sydney Theatre yesterday.

The sleeveless futuristic dress with glinting iridescent silver surfaces and futuristic synthesis of cutting is in fact a metallic solar panel -like art pieces and in precise a “sci-fi couture”! This marvelous fashion from Balenciaga Spring 2009 Collection is designed by Nicolas Ghesquière.

Cata Blanchette carries off the furturistic fashion trend of spring 2009 in a sophisticated way, she completes her look with simple makeup and hair style, a sliver cluth and gold strappy heels. Similar style can be found on Olga Kurylenko in Collette Dinnigan Spring 2009 at the Quantum of Solace premiere few weeks ago. But again Cata makes a impressive fashion impact with this iridescent futuristic outfit and DressLikeStarz would put Cata’s outfit in this week best dressed list !Similar Posts:

Sarah Jesscia Parker dresses in style: Balmain 2009 Spring dress

Sandra the editor — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 14:33:51 +0000

In the thanksgiving night, New York City Ballet’s opening night gala in Lincoln Center was packed with well dressed ballet lovers and celebrities like Scott Whitman and Valentino Garavani. Instead of standard red carpet gown, a LBD with sparkling details that Sarah Jessica Parker chose is a marvelous choice that made her glow in the crowd and wowed the audience before the show started.

The sparkling sequin-smothered sheaths on Sarah Jessica Parker is from Balmain 2009 Spring Collection. This little black dress, added with rock-chic element that brought freshness and break the original evening gown style, yet appropriate in such a black-tie event, is a fabulous choice to repersent SJP’s chic and focal dressing style, in fact I think I kind of see Carrie Bradshaw’s style again on Sarch Jessica with that Balmain sequin-smothered LBD. How about the shoes!? Every time when we talk about SJP or Carrie, we always talk about shoes! This time Sarah Jessica made the futuristic call again by wearing the same Balenciaga point sliver shiny booties, and to finish the whole look, she opted for a very simple ballerina hair by pulling all her hair back to match the theme of this event!

Personally I love her outstanding choice on picking this Balmain LDB, and her sweet idea to match her hair style with the ballerina. Just one thing that may not get applause by some people is that the pull-back hair style may ruin the standard Carrie Bradshaw’s breezy hair that we always miss! Agree?Similar Posts:

Dress Like Rihanna: Gucci Tattoo Heart Collection Launch

Sandra the editor — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 15:37:45 +0000

Rihanna dressed up from head to toe in Gucci outfit for the Gucci Tattoo Heart Collection Launch and the UNICEF Snowflake Lighting Ceremony! She was first appeared in Gucci Pre-Fall Black oversize Check Wool Coat with leather buckle detail, leather gloves and Gucci 2008 Fall bracelets accessories. Then later when she stepped on the red carpet, she took off the Gucci black oversize check coat and showed off the Gucci one-shoulder orange or red tomato dress. Seems she tends to choose orange or red tomato as her clothing color in recently in red carpet or black tie event. ( Last time she opted for a red tomato dress in the 2008 Spirit of Life Award dinner! )

Finally the 2008 Gucci Camaign to Benefit UNICEF is launched and Rihanna is the spoke person of the Gucci Tattoo Heart Collection, which launched worldwide today! This “Umbrella” fashionista really knows how to use her stylish image and star influnence on charity benefit! No sure if Rihanna ’s fashion impact will boost sales for Gucci in such a harsh recession time. But every purchase you made from the Gucci Tattoo Heart Collection, Gucci will donate 25% of the sale to UNICEF programs for orphans and children effected by HIV/AIDS in Africa. So it isn’t that bad to buy and dress like stars whist do charity at the same time!

Kate Beckinsale and Padma Lakshmi are both smart and talented beauties. When it comes to fashion, both gorgeous ladies seems to have the same kind of choice - A mixture of one-shoulder fashion trend and Grecian Goddess style.

Kate Beckinsale attended ELLE’s Magazine 15th Annual Women In Hollywood Tribute earlier in October, she was stunning in Derek Lam one-shoulder white gown from Derek Lam Spring 2009 collection, and accessorized her goddess look with elegant Jimmy Choo clutch and gold long earrings, creating a very classic Grecian goddess look! While the Indian beauty Padma Lakshmithe showed up in “Keep a Child Alive 5th Annual Black Ball” (November 13) with a slightly different Grecian goddess style! The same thing is she opted a Naeen Khan white one-shoulder gown from Naeen Khan Spring 2009 collection, but matched up the beautiful gown with Indian style jeweled necklace and gold bracelets which add an extra ethic style on the whole outfit! Both gorgeous keep their hair style simple and successfully projected a Grecian goddess image that can take your breath away!

Interesting is that the one-shoulder trend still keep its way to go in Spring 2009 fashion (since summer 2008), but with the mixture of Grecian goddess style and gold accessories as polish can definitely add more femininity to the whole look!
