WHO: Channing Tatum
WHERE & WHEN: “Side Effects” New York premiere on January 31, 2013.
WEARING: Dolce & Gabbana

MY VERDICT: Channing looked very dashing in a black Dolce & Gabbana two-button jacket and matching flat-front trousers when he hit the red carpet for the New York premiere of “Side Effects”.  The dark suit was lightened a bit with a soft ice grey dress shirt, but it was the rich brown, lightly patterned silk tie that pulled it all together for me. The always good looking actor finished with polished shiny black lace up shoes and a winning smirk.

WHO: Rooney Mara
WHERE & WHEN: “Side Effects” New York premiere on January 31, 2013.
WEARING: Alexander McQueen dress, Nicholas Kirkwood shoes

MY VERDICT: Rooney rocked a brand new look from Alexander McQueen when she attended the New York premiere of her new movie “Side Effects”.  The 27-year-old actress selected the long sleeve layered white dress from the Pre-Fall 2013 collection with all-over lace embroidered panels, including heavier 3D detail at the shoulders.  I see that Rooney wanted to keep the look soft, and therefore she opted out of the black belt and matching shoes, however I do wish she had worn a much more interesting shoe than her neutral Nicholas Kirkwood pumps.  It’s not so much the nude color that’s boring me as it is the open toe slingback. | continue reading..

WHO: Kate Mara
WHERE & WHEN: “Side Effects” New York premiere on January 31, 2013.
WEARING: Givenchy by Riccardo Tiscidress, Nicholas Kirkwood shoes & a Judith Leiber clutch.

MY VERDICT: Kate supported her sister Rooney’s new movie “Side Effects”, and hit the red carpet for the New York premiere.  The 30-year-old actress kept her look pretty low-key as she opted for a ruffled hem LBD by Givenchy with a dropped waist and cap sleeves. Although the mini dress never made it down the catwalk, you can find it available at Barneys New York.  Kate wore her long brunette tresses out in loose waves before simply completing her look with soft makeup, a pair of white-swirl embroidered black suede island platform pumps by Nicholas Kirkwood, and a metallic deco clutch from Judith Leiber.  Simple and sweet. | continue reading..

WHO: Teresa Palmer
WHERE & WHEN: Australians in Film Screening of “Warm Bodies” at the Los Angeles Film School on January 30, 2013.
WEARING: Talbot Runhof dress, Brian Atwood shoes & Dana Rebecca Designs jewelry.

MY VERDICT:  Teresa is two for two this week!  After her knock out red carpet moment for the Tuesday premiere, the 26-year-old Australian actress made another stunning choice when she stepped out for this special screening wearing a Talbot Runhof  Spring 2013 dress.  Teresa wore a pretty pale pink cap sleeve sheath dress with black lace embroidery falling down the sides.

I’m completely in love with this collection, and I’m thrilled whenever I get to see a design make its way off the catwalk. | continue reading..

WHO: Holland Roden
WHERE & WHEN: “Warm Bodies” Hollywood premiere on January 29, 2013.
WEARING: Alice + Olivia dress, Jerome C. Rousseau shoes & clutch, and jewelry by Le Vian & Carrera y Carrera.

MY VERDICT:  Holland looked like a beautiful little pixie in her white dress and gold accessories at the Hollywood premiere of “Warm Bodies”.  The 24-year-old actress hit the red carpet in the “Gwen” high neck feathered skirt dress from Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet, which features a pretty cap sleeve bodice that’s completely embroidered with delicate beading.

Holland coordinating with the fairytale feel of the look with a gold and white “Jem” pearlized embossed python clutch and matching “Zell” gold mirrored leather platform sandals—both by Jerome C. Rousseau.   | continue reading..

TERESA PALMER looked stunning in her black lace Philip Armstrong gown at the Hollywood premiere of her new zombie romance movie “Warm Bodies”.  As her long golden locks fell freely over the dark and elegant dress, Teresa drew focus to her bright eyes that smouldered with a metallic violet shadow.  Celebrity makeup artist Melanie Inglessis worked with the star, and was inspired to give her an intense eye that was surrounded by radiant skin.  “I wanted to create fresh skin with sexy smoky eyes to compliment her striking and bold dress,” Melanie explained.

FYI: Teresa is the face of ARTISTRY, therefore Melanie primarily used an array of products from the skincare and cosmetics line! | continue reading..

WHO: Nicholas Hoult
WHERE & WHEN: “Warm Bodies” Hollywood premiere on January 29, 2013.
WEARING: Balenciaga suit, Rolex watch

MY VERDICT: If I were a fly on the red wall at the premiere of this new zombie movie, I can only imagine how loud the screams were when Nicholas arrived.  The handsome 23-year-old English actor gave his best intense stare for photographers as he posed in a sharp gunmetal Balenciaga suit.  Overall, the tailored style was classic, as was the matching pocket square to his white dress shirt, but there was still something very young, modern and cool it. The shade of grey is so striking on him.

On another note, can I please direct focus to the color of his eyes? They’re so beautiful and bright.

Nicholas completed his look with a pair of black leather lace up shoes, a metallic braided bracelet, and a Rolex watch.

WHO: Analeigh Tipton
WHERE & WHEN: “Warm Bodies” Hollywood premiere on January 29, 2013.
WEARING: Barbara Bui dress, Giuseppe Zanotti shoes

MY VERDICT: Analeigh is so adorable. I always love seeing her on the red carpet; she wears unique fashion well, and seems to be able pull of designs that others couldn’t.  For the premiere of her new movie, the 24-year-old wore a black Barbara Bui Spring 2013 leather mini pocket dress that features a dramatic split silk floor-length overlay.  She. Rocked. It.

I don’t typically like the “mullet” style, and that’s usually because it can come off kind of cheap. In this case, it looked cool—as it was intended. The skinny belt that binds the fabric to the shorter piece went completely around her waist as opposed to the loose fit on the model and the stray half. Personally, I liked the way it’s styled on Analeigh much more than on the catwalk. | continue reading..

WHO: Teresa Palmer
WHERE & WHEN: “Warm Bodies” Hollywood premiere on January 29, 2013.
WEARING: Philip Armstrong dress, Jimmy Choo shoes, Judith Leiber clutch, and Jacob & Co. jewelry

MY VERDICT: In honor of her new zombie film, the Australian actress looked beautiful as she slipped into a dramatic lace “Narcissa” gown by Philip Armstrong.  Considering I find the red background and carpet too harsh for anything but a solid color outfit, I’m glad Teresa wore black; she didn’t clash, and I could focus on the overall appearance.  It was nice to see her pass on something short and predictable; the fit was good and the design had a cool feminine edge about it.

I’m really into the leather and lace look, so the bodice is obviously my favorite part.  We’ve been graced with plenty of similar sheer designs on the red carpet lately, but the trend was isolated to the bodice instead of being excessive here. I can’t help but like it. | continue reading..

WHO: The cast of “Glee”
WHERE & WHEN: 19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards on January 27, 2013.

KEVIN McHALE: I had to kick this whole thing off with Kevin because I just don’t think I could have contained my love for his hunter green jacket much longer!  The 24-year-old actor worked the heck out of that red carpet in his monochrome black shirt, tie and trousers while sporting a custom Oscar Olima dark green satin jacket over his shoulders with contrast details.  This was totally unique and eye catching—I loved it.  Kevin finished his look with shiny black dress shoes from Prada.

CORY MONTEITH: This is probably one of the best suit looks I’ve ever seen on Cory.  I loved his Calvin Klein Collection grey tuxedo with black contrast arched lapels and stripes down the sides of his pants.  It was well tailored and suited him very nicely.  Cory finished with black Christian Louboutin dress shoes, Ox and Bull Trading Co. cufflinks and tie bar, and a Versace watch. | continue reading..
