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?

Back from her wedding day, she already unveiled her independent and distinct fashion sense by carrying off an off-shoulder sweetheart neckline wedding gown (just like the Sleeping Beauty’s off-shoulder gown in white), with long train, a princess-length veil and emphasizing detailing with intricate floral applique embellishments on the gown, evolving the romantic fairy tale style like the  , as well as adding a sense of ultra-feminine, yet elegant and appropriate as the lovely bride of Barack Obama.  In fact, the off-shoulder /one shoulder dress style and fairy-tale romance element are the staple of 2009 Spring and Summer fashion trend. Designer brands like Roberto Cavalli, Chanel, Nina Ricci and Dolce & Gabbana usher such fairytale feminine style in their spring 2009 collection, which Michelle Obama presented it long before in her wedding gown.

Rihanna and fother celebrities like “Material Girl” trendsetter Madonna, Gossip Girl” Blake Lively and “Entourage” Adrian Grenier gather at the Gucci Tattoo Heart Collection Launch and Gucci’s swanky dinner at the Plaza Hotel on November 19, 2008.

Rihanna was stunning in Gucci Spring 2008 Lavender gown with matched color pearly ornament on the dress and gold bracletes which is all from Gucci. Earlier in that evening, Rihanna also stopped by for lighting up the big holiday Snowflake along with Gucci creative director Frida Giannini at the UNICEF Snowflake Lighting Ceremony. Again as I reported in the previous post, Rihanna showed off the Gucci Pre-Fall black oversize check wool coat. Rihanna is really a support and wonderful lovely spokeperosn of Gucci as the same night she showed three different Gucci Clothings from Pre-Fall 2008 collection to Spring 2009 Collection.

Actually the combination of that Gucci lavender gown and ornaments with strappy heels revealed a very feminine side of Rihanna and created and modern chic goddess image on Rihanna! Love the dress and Rihanna rocks it!

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!
