WHO: Jennifer Morrison
WHERE & WHEN: 2013 Billboard Music Awards on May 19, 2013.
WEARING: Kristian Aadnevik dress, Edie Parker clutch, and jewelry from Amrapali & Le Vian.

MY VERDICT: It was almost as if “Once Upon a Time” star Jennifer Morrison was still riding off of her punked out mood from the MET Gala earlier this month when she turned up at this year’s Billboard Music Awards. The 34-year-old actress stepped out on the blue carpet wearing a very daring dress contraption by Kristian Aadnevik.

Jen wore a racy black bustier corset bodysuit from Aadnevik’s Fall 2013 collection with an attached sheer chiffon floor-length skirt. Due to the barely there fabric, I have no doubt that Jennifer was comfortable in the Las Vegas heat. I know I should probably say that her dress needed to be lined, but I think that would have taken away from the look severely. I only wish that the fabric of the skirt had been a little darker so that it didn’t come off as sheer, because otherwise it’s just one of those things that looks better on the runway. | continue reading..

WHO: Jennifer Lopez
WHERE & WHEN: 2013 Billboard Music Awards on May 19, 2013.
WEARING: Zuhair Murad Couture dress, Christian Louboutin shoes & Le Vian jewelry.

MY VERDICT: Jennifer Lopez wore head-to-toe gold to the Billboard Music Awards. Naturally. The “Live It Up” singer (which, bee-tee-dubbs, I’ve had that song on repeat all weekend) wowed on-lookers when she hit the blue carpet wearing a Zuhair Murad gold halter gown with a plunging neck and an intricate pattern of hand-beaded feathers that sporadically splatter into a sheer skirt. This daring dress comes from the designer’s Spring 2013 Haute Couture collection.

I wasn’t shocked, but I wasn’t let down either. This is what JLO does—and she does it well. There are few women that I feel could truly pull this gown off but, thankfully, she is one of them. In fact, Jen is the highest on the list.

She wore her long honey-highlighted tresses back off her neck before completing the look with bronze makeup, diamond jewelry, gold Christian Louboutin ankle strap pointed toe pumps, and a matching box clutch.

WHO: Anna Camp
WHERE & WHEN: 2013 MTV Movie Awards held on April 14, 2013.
WEARING: Hervé Léger by Max Azria dress, Rupert Sanderson shoes, Jimmy Choo bag, jewelry from Le Vian, Brumani & Adeler.

MY VERDICT: Anna sported some spring time style as she supported her “Pitch Perfect” costars. The 30-year-old actress wore a form-fitting white bandage Herve Leger by Max Azria dress, from the Spring 2013 collection. Anna added a fun pop of color to the bright frock by accessorizing with a long coral clutch and matching pointed toe “Elba” pumps by Rupert Sanderson–both complimented her pink nail lacquer. | continue reading..

WHO: Lily Collins
WHERE & WHEN: WonderCon Anaheim 2013 – Day 2: “The Mortal Instruments” Panel on March 30, 2013
WEARING: Michael Kors jacket, Valentino top, Casadei shoes, and jewelry from Le Vian & Michael M.

MY VERDICT: Despite the warmer season quickly approaching, I can’t help but love the head-to-toe black ensemble that Lily Collins rock at WonderCon this year.  The 23-year-old, who was in attendance to promote her upcoming movie “The Mortal Instruments” at a cast panel, rocked a black sheer Valentino blouse with a white ponytail collar and matching cuffs, from the Spring 2013 collection.  I can’t be the only one getting Wednesday Addams-vibes!  | continue reading..

WHO: Ashley Tisdale
WHERE & WHEN: Nickelodeon’s 26th Annual Kids’ Choice Awards on March 23, 2013.
WEARING: Rafael Cennamo dress, Jerome C. Rousseau shoes, a Rebecca Minkoff clutch, and jewelry from Le Vian & Misaki.

MY VERDICT: There was something very aquatic about what Ashley wore to the Kids’ Choice Awards.  The 27-year-old actress selected a beautiful sea foam and mint green embroidered cocktail dress from Rafael Cennamo‘s Spring 2013 Couture Collection. Ashley shortened the design, which features a stunning crystal embellished illusion neckline, to better accommodate her petite figure.  I liked the original length, but I completely agree with the modification.  I really adore this dress in general though; the shimmering detail reminds me of the way light reflects off water… and then I think of mermaids, which brings me to Ariel–duh–and in the end, it just all seems so well-suited for the former Disney Channel princess. | continue reading..

WHO: Lily Collins
WHERE & WHEN: 2013 Vanity Fair Oscar Party on February 24, 2013.
WEARING: Zuhair Murad dress, Brian Atwood shoes, and jewelry from Michael M., Sethi Couture, Adeler Fine Jewels, Norman Silverman, and Le Vian.

MY VERDICT: Lily was sporting something I definitely didn’t get enough of on the Academy Awards red carpet—bold color!   The “Mortal Instruments” star was one the colorful highlights of my Oscar night in her glittering violet beaded Zuhair Murad gown, from the Fall/Winter 2012 Couture collection.  The long sleeve, body-hugging design displayed a delicate illusion lace embroidered bodice with a fearless striped skirt that fit Lily’s slim figure flawlessly.

If you’re feeling like you’ve seen something like this before, it may because Kristen Stewart donned a similar black jumpsuit from the line at the London premiere of “Breaking Dawn: Part 2″ back in November.  Both looks feature a sexy daring open back. | continue reading..

WHO: Vanessa Hudgens
WHERE & WHEN: 2013 Vanity Fair Oscar Party on February 24, 2013.
WEARING: Moschino dress, Jerome C. Rousseau shoes, and jewelry from Demarco, Bavna, Le Vian & Gaydamak.

MY VERDICT:  I think we saw one of the best looks ever from Vanessa at the Vanity Fair post-Oscar bash this year.  After several days of fast-paced promo for her new movie “Spring Breakers” in Europe last week, the 24-year-old appeared bright eyed and ready to party when she arrived at the annual event in a pretty slinky fully sequined copper gown by Moschino.  The sassy little dress featured a cowl neck and draped back.

This actually seemed like it was created for Vanessa because it fit so well; the slim column cut made the petite gal appear taller than she actually is.  | continue reading..

WHO: Holland Roden
WHERE & WHEN: “Warm Bodies” Hollywood premiere on January 29, 2013.
WEARING: Alice + Olivia dress, Jerome C. Rousseau shoes & clutch, and jewelry by Le Vian & Carrera y Carrera.

MY VERDICT:  Holland looked like a beautiful little pixie in her white dress and gold accessories at the Hollywood premiere of “Warm Bodies”.  The 24-year-old actress hit the red carpet in the “Gwen” high neck feathered skirt dress from Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet, which features a pretty cap sleeve bodice that’s completely embroidered with delicate beading.

Holland coordinating with the fairytale feel of the look with a gold and white “Jem” pearlized embossed python clutch and matching “Zell” gold mirrored leather platform sandals—both by Jerome C. Rousseau.   | continue reading..

WHO: Julia Stiles
WHERE & WHEN: 19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards on January 27, 2013.
WEARING: AMEN Couture dress, Jerome C. Rousseau shoes & Le Vian jewelry.

MY VERDICT: Julia glittered her way down the red carpet over the weekend looking beautiful in a AMEN Couture electric sequin embellished dark silver gown with a ultra-plunging neckline. The “Silver Linings Playbook” star selected the dress from the Fall 2012 collection, and played up the glamour by styling her hair in vintage Hollywood swept waves.  She kept her neck bare but opted for adding a bit more glitz with Le Vian jewelry and a pair of metallic “Orner” platform strappy sandals by Jerome C. Rousseau. Both are pictured below.

WHO: Jennifer Lopez
WHERE & WHEN: 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills on January 13, 2013.
WEARING: Zuhair Murad dress, Christian Louboutin shoes, Jimmy Choo clutch & Le Vian jewelry.

MY VERDICT: J.Lo hit the red carpet wearing gown to make it appear as though her body was only covered in lace. Are you surprised?  The singer flaunted her famous curves in a long-sleeve silk gown from the Spring 2013 collection by Zuhair Murad, which features an ivory embroidered lace overlay with beading detail. While it may feel like we saw one sheer-and-lace dress right after the other this last year (I’m talking to you, Kristen Stewart), we must remember that Jennifer practically kicked started the trend at the Academy Awards last winter.  I didn’t really liked the sides of the dress because it was mostly bare nude lining, but the front was pretty.  Regardless, she pulls it off—even if I’m bored with the trend. | continue reading..
