WHO: Shantel VanSanten
WHERE & WHEN: “Fast & Furious 6″ Los Angeles Premiere on May 21, 2013.
WEARING: Nikki Rich dress, Christian Louboutin shoes

MY VERDICT: The always beautiful Shantel VanSanten hit the red carpet for the “Fast & Furuious 6″ premiere in Hollywood wearing a cool head-to-toe black outfit with some sexy edge. The 27-year-old former “One Tree Hill” actress wore a custom Nikki Rich cocktail dress featuring a laser cut leather sleeveless bodice with silk lining to enhance a shimmering effect and leather inlay pattern. The lower half of the dress was all smooth stretch leather to give it a unique balance.

It was clearly a perfect fit for Shantel’s athletic figure, and I liked her mixture of rough and feminine accessories–including | continue reading..

WHERE & WHEN: “The Hangover Part III” London Premiere on May 22, 2013.
WEARING: ETRO

MY VERDICT: Justin was back on the red carpet for a premiere of “The Hangover Part III”, this time across the pond in London. The 34-year-old newly engaged actor wore an even better look than the last when he revisited ETRO for a Spring 2013 dark grey shadow suit paired with a grey and blue square pattern shirt and a complimenting paisley tie in shades of red and blue with a pocket square to match. I really love the summer colors incorporated into this; it went from an office look to movie premiere-ready with those simple pops of vibrancy. Shiny black lace up shoes completed his look.

WEARING: Salvatore Ferragamo

MY VERDICT: That pumpkin spice suit was a tough act to follow, but Bradley Cooper had another great look up his sleeve when he rocked the red carpet for the London premiere of “The Hangover Part III” in a beautiful three-piece custom teal suit by Salvatore Ferragamo. Although he was clearly on the ‘classic’ route this time around, it didn’t make it any less appealing as the color is stunning. The jacket, waistcoat and trousers were paired with a crisp white dress shirt enhanced by a Ferragamo speckled tie incorporating many shades of blue and green. In an effort not to sound too cliché–it brought out his eyes. Slicked back hair helped complete Brad’s look that he finished with leather lace up dress shoes. Two for two Coopz!

WHO: Heather Graham
WHERE & WHEN: “The Hangover Part III” London Premiere on May 22, 2013.
WEARING: Max Azria Atelier dress, Kara Ross jewelry

MY VERDICT: Heather Graham took a another fashion ‘plunge’ when she stepped out on the red carpet at Empire Leicester Square for the London premiere of “The Hangover Part III”. Heather had previously wore a gorgeous teal gown for the Hollywood premiere earlier this week, and her second option was yet another winner. She wore a black gown by Max Azria Atelier with a plunging v-neck, peek-a-boo sheer panels throughout the waist, a full train, and multiple sexy cutouts at the back. I’m really into the detailing on this as it took a classic silhouette and transformed it into something really edgy and modern.

After opting for a bold statement necklace before, Heather kept the accessories very minimal this time around with stacked Kara Ross gold and diamond bangles. She completed her look with long cascading waves and a red matte pout.

WHERE & WHEN: The Beverly Hilton Unveils Redesigned Aqua Star Pool By Estee Stanley on May 22, 2013.
WEARING: Catherine Malandrino top and pants, Tibi shoes & jewelry from Sorellina.

MY VERDICT: Sophia looked adorably chic in a sassy two-piece lace look by Catherine Malandrino as she helped The Beverly Hilton celebrate the unveiling of the new Aqua Star pool re-designed by celebrity stylist and interior designer Estee Stanley.

The 30-year-old actress showed off her curves in a black and nude lace strapless peplum top and straight leg fitted trousers from Malandrino’s Fall 2013 collection. | continue reading..

WHO: Gina Carano
WHERE & WHEN: “Fast & Furious 6″ Los Angeles Premiere on May 21, 2013.
WEARING: Amanda Wakeley Atelier dress, Rupert Sanderson shoes, Christian Louboutin clutch, and jewelry from Dana Rebecca Designs & Palladium.

MY VERDICT: She may toughen up in a movie about crime and fast cars, but Gina was all elegance when she hit the red carpet for the Hollywood premiere of “Fast & Furious 6″ wearing a beautiful Amanda Wakeley gown. The 31-year-old actress selected the white mist v-neck cap sleeve gown from Wakeley’s Autumn/Winter 2013-2014 Atelier collection with hand beaded gunmetal embellishments at the shoulders, bodice center, and small waist peplums. The ethereal high-low hem and train allowed us with a great shoe view too! Gina coordinated with the jagged gunmetal “Teoni” strappy sandals by Rupert Sanderson. | continue reading..

WHO: Jessica Chastain
WHERE & WHEN: “All Is Lost” 66th Annual Cannes Film Festival Premiere on May 22, 2013.
WEARING: Givenchy Haute Couture

MY VERDICT: If it were possible to top her last look, Jessica Chastain was able to make it happen! The 36-year-old actress had her best fashion moment at the Cannes Film Festival thus far when she arrived for the premiere of “All Is Lost” wearing a breathtaking purple Givenchy Haute Couture tank gown with dazzling beaded and crystal embroidery throughout–well, with the exception of a smooth corset inset at the waist. I mean, seriously, this dress!!

Jessica complimented the exquisite design with matching Givenchy ankle strap platform sandals. This was darn near perfect to me—except when it came to her hair. | continue reading..

WHO: Carey Mulligan
WHERE & WHEN: “The Great Gatsby” Australian Premiere on May 22, 2013.
WEARING: Nina Ricci top, Lanvin pants, Saint Laurent shoes & jewelry from Tiffany & Co.

MY VERDICT: Carey Mulligan brought “The Great Gatsby” to Australia for its most recent premiere–sans her costars Leonardo DiCaprio, who is reportedly still at the Cannes Film Festival, and Isla Fisher who is back in the states promoting a new movie.

The English actress passed on a dress and posed on the rained out red carpet wearing a blush pink silk lace strapless bustier by Nina Ricci that she partnered with black Lanvin flat front ankle skimmer trousers, from Fall 2013 collections. | continue reading..

WHO: Isla Fisher
WHERE & WHEN: “Now You See Me” New York Premiere on May 21, 2013.
WEARING: L’Wren Scott

MY VERDICT: After a quick trip to the Cannes Film Festival last week, Isla was back in the states for the New York premiere of her new magical crime film “Now You See Me”. The 37-year-old actress looked beautiful on the black carpet wearing a nude and black silk sleeveless high neck gown by L’Wren Scott with a stunning onyx beaded embroidered motif throughout the design.

This dress, which features ribbon tied detail at the back of the neck above a cutout, comes from Scott’s Spring 2013 collection.

I’m thrilled she wore it, but am I the only one who thinks this pattern screams “wear me for a ‘Gatsby’ premiere?” | continue reading..

WHO: Jamie Chung
WHERE & WHEN: “The Hangover Part III” Los Angeles Premiere on May 20, 2013.
WEARING: Armani dress, Jimmy Choo shoes, and jewelry from Norman Silverman & Gaydamak.

MY VERDICT: After seeing Heather bring the glamour, Bradley bust out some bold color, and Naya spice it all up, I was a bit let down with what Jamie Chung wore to the Los Angeles premiere of “The Hangover Part III”.

The 30-year-old actress arrived on the red carpet wearing a shapeless black silk-satin Armani gown with a plunging v-neck attached by a single thin strap, and thick lace straps that crisscrossed in the back. The top portion looks like a lingerie camisole while the rest is simply boring. It just simply did nothing for her.

Aside from the dress, I liked Jamie’s makeup and her long chocolate tresses looked beautiful styled in side gathered big curls. Small diamond stud earrings by Norman Silverman and a Gaydamak white gold, diamond and emerald Snake hand bracelet completed her look. I think the jewelry was the best part.
