WHO: Stana Katic
WHERE & WHEN: LA Opera Hosts Placido Domingo In Concert and 15th Annual Domingo Awards on June 8, 2013.
WEARING: Rag & Bone top, Dusica Dusica pants, Jean-Michel Cazabat shoes, Devi Kroell clutch, and jewelry by Dana Rebecca Designs, H. Stern & Dana Faith.

MY VERDICT: After that bold jumpsuit a few weeks ago for the Billboard Music Awards, Stana Katic was back on the red carpet with something much more simply for the LA Opera hosted 15th Annual Domingo Awards and Placido Domingo: In Concert event in Los Angeles. The “Castle” star rocked a head-to-toe black ensemble, including a cool sleeveless Rag & Bone top with sheer panels at the shoulders and back that was partnered with billowing Dusica Dusica silk harem pants.

It took me a long time to come to terms with the harmen pant trend, and I still am quite picky with what works and what doesn’t. | continue reading..

WHO: Zhang Ziyi
WHERE & WHEN: 66th Annual Cannes Film Festival Jury “Un Certain Regard” Photocall on May 16, 2013.
WEARING: Giambattista Valli Haute Couture dress, Christian Louboutin shoes & H.Stern jewelry.

MY VERDICT: For her second day at the Cannes Film Festival, Zhang Ziyi sparkled during a daytime Un Certain Regard jury photocall wearing a little couture. Zhang donned a shortened version of the gorgeous Giambattista Valli jade green cocktail dress with shimmering beaded appliqués settled over a watercolor floral patterned hoop skirt, from the designer’s Fall 2012 Haute Couture collection. I don’t normally like to see dresses disrupted so severely, but it was a wise decision to take the length off this particular dress considering Zhang’s small frame. | continue reading..

WHO: Nina Dobrev
WHERE & WHEN: 2013 Film Independent Spirit Awards on February 23, 2013.
WEARING: Michael Kors outfit, Jimmy Choo shoes & H.Stern jewelry.

MY VERDICT: After an electric appearance at the SAG Awards, and two more fabulous moments during the Super Bowl recently, Nina hit another high note at the Indie Spirit Awards this year as she supported her film “The Perks of Being a Wallflower”.  The 24-year-old actress showed off her mile-long legs in a super sassy golden Spring 2013 outfit by Michael Kors.  Nina wore an optic white shell top with gold embroidery and matching optic white shorts that she completed with a gold mirrored belt.  I can’t decide if I like the belt at the narrow part of her waist or up higher as it is on the model, but I certainly know that I absolutely love this look for her.  She polished off the spring-ready ensemble with a high ponytail, smoky bronze eyes, and a pair of strappy gold Jimmy Choo sandals.  I’m still digging those new bangs!  A++

WHO: Nicole Richie
WHERE & WHEN: 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills on January 13, 2013.
WEARING: Naeem Khan dress, Brian Atwood shoes, House of Harlow 1960 clutch & rings, with more jewelry from H. Stern Fine Jewelry, Arunashi, Sylva & Cie, and Elahn.

MY VERDICT: Nicole sparkled when she opted for this silk tulle nude sheer gown from Naeem Khan‘s Spring 2013 collection that features gorgeous all-over sky blue baroque pattern embroidery, which faded to a darker shade in a beautiful ombré effect.  This dress truly stood out against Nicole’s warm complexion, and it was such a dreamy, smooth fit.  With her honey-colored tresses styled in sculpted waves, Nicole completed her look with metallic blue smoky eyes and a chain embellished clutch from her own House of Harlow 1960 collection.

WHO: Helen Hunt
WHERE/WHEN: 24th Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala, held at the Palm Springs Convention Center in Palm Springs, California on January 5, 2013.
WEARING: Michael Kors gown, Swarovski clutch, Rene Caovilla sandals, Charles Albert, H. Stern & London Manori jewelry.

MY VERDICT: I’m absolutely in love with what Helen wore! The smooth jersey halterneck midnight blue gown that she selected—an off-runway design | continue reading..

Jessica Alba brightened up the morning when she helped Megan Fox and Ed Helms present the nominations for the 70th Annual Golden Globes Awards today in her vibrant pink dress!

The 31-year-old actress wore a sleeveless peplum Dior dress that fell at her knees and enhanced her curves.  It was a cute trendy spin on a classic silhouette, and I found that it flattered Jessica’s caramel complexion and light wavy mane brilliantly. | continue reading..

Kaley Cuoco joined Claire Danes, Leslie Mann and Julie Bowen when it came to selecting a sunny gown for the 64th annual Primetime Emmy Awards red carpet last night in Hollywood.

“The Big Bang Theory” looked radiant in a canary yellow strapless gown from the Fall/Winter 2012 collection by Angel Sanchez. The bodice featured beaded embroidery in a star-burst pattern that traveled into a lovely asymmetric layered skirt. | continue reading..

Elisabeth Moss added a little sparkle to her step when she hit the red carpet on Friday night for the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences presented Performer Nominees’ 64th Primetime Emmy Awards Reception.

The “Mad Men” star wore a sheer black long-sleeve dress from the Resort 2013 collection by Naeem Khan, which featured gleaming beaded embellishments starting at the bust and lower arm while working their way down into a fringed skirt. This left the yoke and upper arms completely sheer. | continue reading..

“New Girl” actress Hannah Simone hit the pink carpet last night for the 2012 Teen Choice Awards where she rocked a vibrant mini dress from the Spring 2012 collection by Mary Katrantzou.

While Hannah’s dress wasn’t seen on the runway — the print was. With that said, you can still buy her “Balalaika” dress on sale and online through FarFetch.com. | continue reading..

Connie Britton arrived at the Los Angeles Film Festival premiere of her movie “Seeking a Friend for the End of the World” last night wearing a pretty pale blue gown.

The 45-year-old actress looked youthful and fresh in a silk tulle, open neck gown from the Spring 2012 collection by J. Mendel, with gathered ruching in artfully sculpted panels at her waist and hips.

I’m not too familiar with Connie’s red carpet track record, but I can’t help but like this dress on her! The steel shade of the color prevented her from looking washed out like a lighter shade world and it looks so lively against her red hair. | continue reading..
