WHO: Nina Dobrev
WHERE & WHEN: Entertainment Weekly Pre-SAG Party in Los Angeles on January 26, 2013.
WEARING: Matthew Williamson dress, Elie Saab clutch

MY VERDICT: It’s always such a treat to see Nina out and about on the Hollywood scene, and that might be partially due to the fact that I’m always interested in seeing what she’s going to wear.  Last night “The Vampire Diaries” star rocked the black carpet at the EW party wearing a beautiful printed strapless maxi dress by Matthew Williamson.  It may be January, but considering I’m freezing my tushy over here on the east coast, I like that Nina’s look is reminding me that springtime isn’t far ahead!  I adore the sleek silhouette, and the colors used in the pattern really compliment her complexion and dark hair.  With soft subtle makeup, Nina completed her look with a metallic Elie Saab box clutch. Effortless and lovely.

Elizabeth Banks was among the celebrity guests at Lucky Magazine’s first West Coast FABB: Fashion and Beauty Blog Conference yesterday in Santa Monica, California.

The 38-year-old “What To Expect When You’re Expecting” actress hit a high note for the daytime event wearing a cool Fall 2012 sleeveless shimmering asphalt dress by Matthew Williamson.

Liz’s simple sheath dress was given an edge with diagonal cutouts at the waist and a split layer at the sides of the skirt. | continue reading..

In two days, the beautiful Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge wowed us in three chic looks as she took on the town with her husband Prince William at her side.

On Wednesday evening, the royal couple — who celebrated their first wedding anniversary over the weekend — hit the red carpet for the European premiere of Disneynature’s “African Cats”. Not only did Kate look very chic in a Pre-Fall 2012 dove grey peplum dress by Matthew Williamson, but it was obvious that she selected a design that fit the theme of the occasion. I love, love, love the green gemstone and gold embroidery at the neckline and sleeves. It added a gorgeous exotic feel to the look. | continue reading..

Miranda Lambert has been taking the Country music awards scene by storm since last year; she’s been dominating every category, and I bet she’s lost count of how many awards she’s taken home by now.

On Monday night, she shared the spotlight and the red carpet with two of her favorite gals — her bandmates Ashley Monroe (also in Jovani) and Angaleena Presley! Miranda has been working on new music as part of the girl group Pistol Annies; they released their debut album this past August and arrived together at the MGM Garden Arena for the 2011 American Country Awards. | continue reading..

Olivia Palermo looked extra stylish when she arrived at the Savoy hotel tonight in London for the 2011 British Fashion Awards.

The 25-year-old reality star and socialite attended the ceremony wearing a long-sleeve beaded dress from the Fall/Winter 2011 collection by Matthew Williamson. Perhaps the greatest details of all are the multi-tier fringes throughout the dress — even on the sleeves!

With all of the mad rushes for Spring 2012 looks, I was excited to see this dress finally get some red–err blue carpet time.

I think it looked great on Olivia, and I’m excited that the neckline was able to shine by her not covering it with her hair.

From the neck up she’s got that evening award show look down when it comes to her hair and make-up. But, with such a fun dress as this, I think a bouncy ponytail would have played up the youthfulness of it. | continue reading..

Sienna Miller attended the Vault Couture All Saints autumn dinner party last night at Petersham Nurseries for the ‘Too Many Women’ fundraiser for Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

Sienna wore an ostrich feather and sequin embroidered coral India-inspired cocktail dress from her friend Matthew Williamson‘s Spring/Summer 2012 collection. The dress is a statement all on its own so she didn’t need many accessories. Sienna carried a bronzed box clutch and wore nude suede platform pumps from Charlotte Olympia‘s collaboration with Matthew.

Sienna’s make-up was light, but I’m having a hard time understanding what’s going on with her hair. Did she even brush it?
