We knew it was coming, and it’s been one heck of a slow burn–but, the wait is officially over! After speculation began circulating back in November about Robert Pattinson landing a fragrance deal with Parfums Christian Dior, WWD officially confirmed this morning that the 27-year-old English actor is the new face of the Dior Homme fragrance. “‘The House of Dior is delighted to announce that actor Robert Pattinson is to be the new face of Dior Homme fragrance,’” the fashion house said in an official statement.

Robert has become part of the fragrance family that includes a celebrated list of celebrity ambassadors, including actors Jude Law, Alain Delon, Natalie Portman and Charlize Theron. | continue reading..

WHO: Emma Stone
WHERE & WHEN: “The Croods” premiere at the 63rd Berlinale International Film Festival on February 15, 2013.
WEARING: Gucci dress, Christian Louboutin shoes, and jewelry from Jamie Wolf & Graziela.

MY VERDICT: After a colorful appearance at the photocall earlier in the day, Emma hit the red carpet for “The Croods” Berlinale premiere wearing head-to-toe black…and a little pop of pink.  The 24-year-old actress slipped into a short black Gucci silk cocktail dress with netted top and sheer tulle sleeves, from the Spring 2013 runway collection.  To be honest, I like everything but the sleeves.  There’s a silk sleeve tunic version of this with a high neck that I prefer simply because I find those tulle elements to be so overwhelming.  Especially on Emma. | continue reading..

WHERE & WHEN: “The Croods” photocall at the 63rd Berlinale International Film Festival on February 15, 2013.
WEARING: Stella McCartney dress, Christian Louboutin shoes, and jewelry from Melinda Maria & Jamie Wolf.

MY VERDICT: Emma brightened up her Friday morning in a smooth sleeveless Stella McCartney swirl plissé dress, from the designer’s Spring 2013 collection. Originally seen on the runway in a mid-length cut with a sheer inset from the shoulder across to the hip, Emma’s dress was shorten to above the knee.  I like that the design wasn’t disrupted too much as the orange is still split from the upper block, which appears to be a very faint aqua separated the now bone-colored lined panel. | continue reading..

Rooney Mara in Valentino Couture | “Side Effects” Premiere – 2013 Berlinale International Film Festival

WHO: Rooney Mara
WHERE & WHEN: “Side Effects” premiere at the 63rd Berlinale International Film Festival on February 12, 2013.
WEARING: Valentino Haute Couture dress, Christian Louboutin shoes.

MY VERDICT: It appears as though Adele isn’t the only lady checking out the latest couture collection from Valentino this week!  Rooney turned to the Spring 2013 line for her red carpet look at the Berlinale premiere of her new thriller “Side Effects”.  After rocking a seriously cool tomboy ensemble for the photocall earlier in the day, the 27-year-old got ladylike in a floral vine embroidered black dress.  I can’t say that I’m into the puffed short sleeves, but I like the square neckline, and how the handkerchief styled asymmetric skirt is so different from what we’ve been seeing lately.

When a certain silhouette gets worn ad nauseam, it’s nice to see something fresh—and this worked for Rooney.  She completed her look with luminous makeup, a twisted ‘top-knot’, and a pair of shiny black Christian Louboutin “Batignolles” point toe pumps. | continue reading..

WHO: Rooney Mara
WHERE & WHEN: “Side Effects” photocall at the 63rd Berlinale International Film Festival on February 12, 2013.
WEARING: Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquière ensemble, Christian Louboutin shoes.

MY VERDICT: Rooney clearly showed us how to take a look directly from the runway–err, or ‘lookbook’ in this case–when she donned a full ensemble from the last Resort 2013 collection Nicolas Ghesquière did as the Creative Director for Balenciaga.

The “Side Effects” star appeared as though she just stepped off the catwalk at Fashion Week when she attended the photocall for the movie at the Berlinale Film Festival.  Rooney wore a cuffed white tee tucked into high-waist pinstripe trousers with a cropped navy crossover crepe top layered over it.  I’m a total fan of this on her!  Rooney has that cool, tomboy personal style that makes it feel so natural.  I also believe she’s doing the tightly pulled center-part ‘do, smoky eye, and dark garnet lip better than the model.  | continue reading..

Amanda Seyfried in Roksanda Ilincic | “Lovelace” Photocall – 2013 Berlinale International Film Festival

WHO: Amanda Seyfried
WHERE & WHEN: “Lovelace” photocall at the 63rd Berlinale International Film Festival on February 9, 2013.
WEARING: Roksanda Ilincic dress

MY VERDICT: In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, Amanda brightened up her black tights and suede booties when she slipped on the lipstick red “Audrey” dress by Roksanda Ilincic for the “Lovelace” photocall before the Berlinale premiere.  She was joined by her costars James Franco and Peter Sarsgaard.  The wool fabric and drop waist prevented it from being too light for the wintry accessories, but the sleeveless cut and lithe design perked the overall look up as well.  It’s a famous fashion rule that every woman should own “a little black dress”, but with a timeless silhouette like this, I think Amanda presented the perfect example of the “LRD” every gal needs. Cherry glossed lips and a soft mane completed her daytime look. | continue reading..

Charlize Theron in Gucci | Cinema For Peace Gala 2013

WHO: Charlize Theron
WHERE & WHEN: Cinema For Peace Gala 2013 during the 63rd Berlinale International Film Festival on February 9, 2013.
WEARING: Gucci dress and clutch, Jimmy Choo shoes, and Tiffany & Co. jewelry.

MY VERDICT: Most of us have all seen Charlize’s new pixie cut in candid photos of the actress out and about in Los Angeles, but it’s clear that you can consider the Cinema For Peace Gala as the official red carpet debut of her super short locks.  The 37-year-old had buzzed off her longer mane for a new role in “Mad Max: Fury Road”.  Proving that she can rock any hairstyle thrown her way, Charlize stunned with slicked back tresses and dark raspberry lips while clad in a blush satin strapless Gucci Première gown.  The slim floor-length design features a wrapped silhouette, which was fastened with a crystal appliqué at the waist.  Personally, I like her hair now when it’s spiked up a bit, but I understand that this particular formal event called for something a little more polished.  She finished the look by complimenting the sparkling hip element with Tiffany & Co. diamond bangles and a nude satin strass “Broadway” long clutch, also from Gucci. | continue reading..

Anne Hathaway in Chanel Couture | “Les Misérables” Premiere – 2013 Berlinale International Film Festival

WHO: Anne Hathaway
WHERE & WHEN: “Les Misérables” premiere at the 63rd Berlinale International Film Festival on February 9, 2013.
WEARING: Chanel Haute Couture dress, Casadei shoes

MY VERDICT: Did Anne coordinate outfits with Amanda Seyfried for the Berlinale premiere of their musical movie “Les Misèrables”?  The two ladies both sported glittering embellished bindings in their silk chiffon dark dresses.  While Amanda opted for a more recent runway look, her costar dipped into the Chanel Couture Fall 2009 archives for her beautiful navy short dress, which features a dramatic train.  I have to say, I may be hot-and-cold with Anne’s style these past few weeks, but I personally feel that she wore this better than the model.  I prefer the shortened hemline, and I really like how she kept it similar with tights—though the black opaque with navy satin pumps were much more complimentary than lace tights and boots. | continue reading..

WHO: Amanda Seyfried
WHERE & WHEN: “Les Misérables” premiere at the 63rd Berlinale International Film Festival on February 9, 2013.
WEARING: Nina Ricci dress, Rupert Sanderson shoes

MY VERDICT: Double the premiere, double the fun!  After stepping out for “Lovelace” during the annual Berlinale Film Festival tonight, Amanda was back on the red carpet to join her “Les Misérables” costars for another showing of their Oscar-nominated film.  The 27-year-old actress gathered her curls up into a high ponytail to show off the sultry strappy open back of her sequin-embellished, high-neck black Nina Ricci cocktail dress.  Despite it’s sexy dark nature, the slinky design comes from the Spring 2013 collection.  Amanda complimented the dress with strappy “Harting” sandals by Rupert Sanderson, before adding a pop of color with scarlet red lips. | continue reading..

WHO: Amanda Seyfried
WHERE & WHEN: “Lovelace” premiere at the 63rd Berlinale International Film Festival on February 9, 2013.
WEARING: Elie Saab dress, Alexandre Birman shoes, and Tiffany & Co. jewelry.

MY VERDICT: I can’t say that I’m surprised that Amanda wore lace to the Berlinale premiere of her new movie “Lovelace”, but that didn’t mean her beautiful Elie Saab royal blue sleeveless tiered lace gown was anticlimactic either.  Sadly, the ivory slip she wore beneath the Spring 2013 sheer design was too bright, and therefore it took away from the sexy drama added to the ladylike fabric.  I’m sure there was a better way to bring this see-through design to the red carpet without covering up so much of the original look.  That being said, I loved Amanda’s glamorous curls and vibrant pink pout.
