WHO: Zoe Saldana
WHERE & WHEN: 85th Academy Awards on February 24, 2013.
WEARING: Alexis Mabille Couture dress, Roger Vivier shoes, Salvatore Ferragamo clutch & Neil Lane jewelry.

MY VERDICT: In my opinion, Zoe was one of the best dressed stars at the Academy Awards this year in her Alexis Mabille gown.  This was one of my favorite dresses on the Spring 2013 Haute Couture runway, but I wasn’t expecting to see it on Oscar night.  It’s always nice to be surprised!  I think Zoe brought new life to the silk pale belted gown, which featured petal embroidery along the strapless bust and a split skirt edged in greyscale tiers. It fit her figure beautifully, highlighted her complexion, and took on a whole new level on glamour with a simple side pose.  Look at the way the train perfectly glides! | continue reading..

How can GWEN STEFANI possibly tell me to “Settle Down” when No Doubt has a new album coming out next month and she’s looking all kinds of fierce in the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar? That’s a tall order I think — and not one I can fulfill.

Trust me, you’ll agree.

Terry Richardson photographed the never-aging musician for the editorial purely consisting of a white background and Gwen in all her fantastic fashionable glory. The 42-year-old singer-turned-designer and mother of two glams up in a lot of pink (one of which is McQueen, hello.) as well as a few dark and dramatic frocks that she models flawlessly.

Of course she does. | continue reading..

Zoe Saldana looked better than ever when she joined her stylist Petra Flannery for The Hollywood Reporter & Jimmy Choo Inaugural ’25 Most Powerful Stylists’ Luncheon yesterday afternoon.

The two mingled with other A-Listers — such as Katie Holmes, and glam stylists at Soho House in West Hollywood where Zoe wore a beautiful coral red slinky dress from the Spring 2012 haute couture collection by Alexis Mabille. | continue reading..

Katy Perry kicked off her Grammy weekend by performing at the 2012 MusiCares Person of the Year Tribute to Paul McCartney last night in Los Angeles.

The 27-year-old arrived on the red carpet at the Los Angeles Convention Center in a lace detailed wide-neck pale pink gown by Alexis Mabille with a satin large bow at the waist complete with crystal appliqués.

This entire Spring/Summer 2012 haute couture collection was presented with very large blooming flower hats that matched the color of each dress; Katy opted to go the whole way and wear the hat that went with her dress. | continue reading..
