Nina Dobrev in Naeem Khan | 2013 Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party

WHO: Nina Dobrev
WHERE & WHEN: 21st Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party on February 24, 2013.
WEARING: Naeem Khan dress, Barbara Bui shoes, Swarovski clutch & Chopard jewelry.

MY VERDICT: All hail Nina Dobrev!  I’m mean, let’s be real, there’s no denying that the “Perks of Being a Wallflower” actress worked the heck out of the white carpet at Elton John’s annual Oscar viewing party in her black and white patterned Naeem Khan gown.  These photos speak for themselves.  Nina meant business in the Fall 2013 design, which featured a high neck and plunging open back.  I wasn’t a big fan of the sheerness on the runway, so it was nice to see that it wasn’t as intense on her.

As a big fan of elegant ponytails, I was thrilled to see that she took this approach and rocked a high pony with swept back bangs that gave a little effortless volume to the front of her hair.  Nina accessorized with a delicate pair of pretty long Chopard earrings, and carried a black and white Swarovski envelope clutch that added a cool contrast to her dress while also complimenting in color.  In fact, I really like how they match up to each other.  She finished with flawless makeup, which included major sultry smoky eyes and a glossy pout.

What. A. Knockout.

This marks the second year that Nina attended the bash, and this time around was even better than the first.

Analeigh Tipton in Barbara Bui | “Warm Bodies” Hollywood Premiere

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..

After a very busy week-long press tour for her new movie “On The Road” in New York City, Kristen Stewart was spotted heading back home to Los Angeles for the holidays a few days ago while wearing her awesome new Dr. Martens oxblood “Leyton” leather kicks ($95, dmusastore.com) and holding a mixed pattern jacket.

The 22-year-old made her way through the airport in her signature travel wear of skinny jeans, a vintage t-shirt, a discontinued EC Star “Nuns with Guns” hoodie, and black Oliver Peoples “O’Malley” sunglasses ($445, oliverpeoples.com).  However, this time around she had a few new additions!  Kristen wore a pair of hipster-cool Lookmatic “Morgan” unisex glasses in black/tortoise ($95, lookmatic.com) in the neckline of her shirt, while toting around an amazing black leather Barbara Bui Spring 2013 backpack, which dubs as a handbag.  | continue reading..

Before continuing the press tour for “On The Road” on the East Coast last week, earlier this month Kristen Stewart sat down to chat about her film work and life in the public eye as a guest on “The Tavis Smiley Show”.

The 22-year-old wore a very conservative outfit, which consisted of a pale blue button-down Christian Dior shirt that she partnered with a pair of slim black A.L.C. trousers, from the Spring/Summer 2013 collection.  Funny enough, I had actually included these very same trousers on a recent wish list of mine for Kristen. | continue reading..

After a successfully showing “On The Road” during AFI FEST last month, KRISTEN STEWART recently attended a private screening for the film in Los Angeles where she donned a cute little lace panel shorts set by Jason Wu, fun Barbara Bui oxford ankle booties, an effortless twisted up ‘do and warm bronze smoky eyes!

the makeup.

Makeup artist Mai Quynh, who has worked with Kristen many times before, was inspired by Kristen’s auburn hair and black-and-nude outfit, so she wanted to give her a dark eye—with a twist. “I wanted to change it up a little bit. Instead of using black, I gravitated toward warmer colors,” Mai explained. “I mixed a maroon and bronze eye shadow and layered them on her eye.” Although Mai wanted to leave a tough black out of the look, she did use it to line the inner rim of Kristen’s eyes. She returned to a warm palette when creating the rest of the look. “For her cheeks, I used a soft peach blush and a sheer beige lipstick.” | continue reading..

Kristen Stewart was reportedly feeling under the weather due to the flu and was unable to attend a screening and Q&A of her new movie “On The Road” on Wednesday night, but thankfully, she made it out last night for the second private screening that was held at the Sundance Cinema in Los Angeles.

The 22-year-old looked refreshed and adorably chic in her Jason Wu black and nude sleeveless playsuit with floral lace and sheer panels as well as a leather pointed collar connected to button-down placket, which she left slightly open. These flirty separates come from the Spring/Summer 2013 collection.  I’m really glad Kristen wore this; I had selected the jumpsuit version as well as a similar dress on my recent Wish List for her—but, this looks even better. Kristen loves her lace! | continue reading..

Kristen Stewart in Alternative Apparel & Rebecca Minkoff | “El Hormiguero”

Kristen Stewart wore a spike-embellished dress for a photocall and a bright yellow mini during her time in Madrid this week, but I have to say my favorite look of all was what she wore during an appearance on the variety show “El Hormiguero”. This was her first time back since promoting “Snow White and the Huntsman” earlier this year.

The 22-year-old beauty bared some serious leg in a pair of leather panel shorts and sexy printed heels when she joined her Twi-castmates Robert Pattinson (in McQ Alexander McQueen) and Taylor Lautner on Thursday to chat about “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2″.  On the show, the trio talked “Twilight”, watched a magic trick and played a funny game where they had to be blindfolded and hit a buzzer at exactly thirty seconds to prevent a contestant from being slimed.

Kristen wore a vintage black Alternative Apparel “The Disheveled Sicily” linen crop sweatshirt that she tucked into a pair of black-on-black Rebecca Minkoff “Alex” leather ponte shorts.  | continue reading..

After baring some skin in two sheer lace creations for the Hollywood and UK premieres of “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2″, Kristen Stewart took a walk on the neon side to switch up her game with the premiere event in Madrid, Spain this evening.

Kristen wore an off-runway Christian Dior fluorescent yellow stretch silk-cotton dress with a flared skirt and cap-sleeves, from the Spring/Summer 2013 collection. Though the 22-year-old starlet has dived right into a pool of variety this press tour, she hasn’t worn a lot of heavy color outside of two talk show appearances last week.

Not only was I excited to finally see her in full-on yellow, but I really like the fit-and-flare cut of this. | continue reading..

I hope Kristen Stewart is loading up on the caffeine, because just like the Energizer Bunny—this girl keeps going and going!

After three New York City talk show appearances throughout yesterday to promote “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2″, the 22-year-old actress was back out again for a private AFI screening of her other movie “On The Road”.

Kristen joined her costar Garrett Hedlund and director Walter Salles at the Dolby 88 Theater where she rocked a stretch-knit and black “Booth” combo leather sheath dress by A.L.C., from the Fall 2012 collection. | continue reading..

While leaving Ireland and heading to her next destination on the international press tour for “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2″ movie, Nikki Reed was spotted making her way through the airport in a chic coat as she traveled to Glasgow on Saturday night for a press conference and fan event in Scotland.

The 24-year-old kept warm in the black velvet military knee-length coat from the Fall 2012 collection by Salvatore Ferragamo, which featured a double-breasted black leather panel at the bodice with gold buttons. Nikki left the coat unbuttoned, but closed, with the black leather belt buckled tight. | continue reading..
