Dakota Fanning, Emily Blunt & Analeigh Tipton Join Elie Saab For a Night at Crown!

The place to be last night? Crown restaurant in New York City as designer Elie Saab hosted a private dinner with some of your favorite stars! Emily Blunt joined Mr. Saab along with fellow actresses Dakota Fanning and Analeigh Tipton, and each lady selected a very different and very gorgeous piece from one of Mr. Saab’s recent collections.

Let’s take a look! 

Emily stepped out in the color of the season — yellow!

The “Five Year Engagement” actress wore a striking three-quarter sleeve cocktail dress with pleated detail and a skinny leather belt. I adore her matching embroidered ankle strapped open toe sandals and the fact that she complimented the embroidery with an Elie Saab grey lamé minaudière with diamond closure.

Emily added an extra dose of color with red lips to match her lacquered manicure.

Dakota looked very grown up in her black sleeveless cocktail dress from the Pre-Fall 2012 collection. I absolutely love this dress; the subtle sexy details of the lace inset at the bodice and the peplum at the hips add such a chic element.

She completed her look with a clutch and jeweled sandals from Prada. The shoes are okay, though I prefer a style much more like those seen on the model. I didn’t like the clutch with this dress at all, as it was much too casual.

I equally like both of Emily and Dakota’s dresses, but I could actually see them switching styles.

Analeigh wore one of the most stand out pieces of the Resort 2012 collection — a red pant suit!

The color and cut of this suit is amazing — especially the plunging cut-out blazer. As for everything else going on with the look, I’m not much of a fan. The Christian Louboutin black “Jenny” pumps are fine, but I don’t like the lace top with it as I prefer the top paired in the collection. I also wish Analeigh hadn’t rolled the cuffs.

Additionally, Analeigh wore a pair of Hoorsenbuhs for Forevermark tri-link diamond stud earrings!
