WHO: Ahna O’Reilly
WHERE & WHEN: “Fruitvale Station” Los Angeles Film Festival Premiere on June 17, 2013.
WEARING: Paule Ka dress, Jimmy Choo shoes, and jewelry from Melinda Maria & EF Collection.

MY VERDICT: Ahna rocked the red carpet in bow-tiful style when she attended the Los Angeles Film Festival premiere of “Fruitvale Station”. The 28-year-old actress has been very consistent with stellar red carpet looks–who could forget her stylish streak at the Cannes Film Festival last month? For this event, Ahna kept it white-hot in a Paule Ka crepe cocktail halter dress, from the Black Carpet 2013 collection, with fun cutouts at the sides and a bold oversize bow adorning the back. | continue reading..

WHO: Amy Adams
WHERE & WHEN: “Man Of Steel” 2013 Taormina Filmfest Photocall on June 15, 2013.
WEARING: Michael Kors dress, Rupert Sanderson shoes & Melinda Maria jewelry.

MY VERDICT: Amy looked beautiful as she stood next to her costar Henry Cavill amongst a garden hilltop backdrop at the Hotel Timeo in Taormina, Italy for the “Man Of Steel” photocall, held during the 2013 Taormina Filmfest. Before wow-ing in a white dress for the premiere party and opening ceremony later that night, Amy donned a black triple strap Michael Kors dress, from the Fall 2013 collection, with a zipped front and a loose pleated calf-length skirt. | continue reading..

WHO: Katy Perry
WHERE & WHEN: Nickelodeon’s 26th Annual Kids’ Choice Awards on March 23, 2013.
WEARING: Hervé Léger by Max Azria top and skirt, Christian Louboutin shoes, and jewelry from Anita Ko, Melinda Maria, Nikki Baker & EF Collection.

MY VERDICT: Katy can make one nervous about trying a crop top this season when she sets the bombshell bar so high!  For the second year in a row, the “Wide Awake” singer donned a belly-baring ensemble—and, once again, she rocked it.  Katy opted for something from the Herve Leger by Max Azria Pre-Fall 2013 collection; a colorful yellow, blue and orange printed crisscross back bandage top and a matching pencil skirt that’s bordered in black.  I appreciate the high-waist cut of the skirt because a crop bra top should not be paired with any bottom that starts below the navel unless you’re going to the gym.

As a true California girl, I dig how Katy played up the retro beach effect–right down to the sculpted jet-black side gathered ‘do. | continue reading..

WHO: Stana Katic
WHERE & WHEN: HBO’s “Game Of Thrones” Season 3 Premiere on March 18, 2013.
WEARING: T by Alexander Wang t-shirt, Alpinestars by Denise Focil skirt, Jimmy Choo shoes, Jill Milan clutch, and jewelry from Killer Collection, Elodie K, Dana Faith, Melinda Maria & Elahn.

MY VERDICT: Stana was the picture of minimalism perfection when she hit Hollywood for the season three premiere of HBO’s hit series “Game Of Thrones”.  The 34-year-old actress showed off her long toned gams in a short black leather “Paula” mini skirt from Alpinestars by Denise Focil that she partnered with a comfy black short sleeve T by Alexander Wang t-shirt.  I like the simplicity of this being understated and cool, and also very wearable off the red carpet for anyone who has the legs to work it.

Stana topped off her outfit by keeping up the monochrome vibe with suede “Anouk” pumps by Jimmy Choo. | continue reading..

WHO: Selena Gomez
WHERE & WHEN: “Spring Breakers” Paris premiere on February 18, 2013.
WEARING: Atelier Versace suit, Casadei shoes & Melinda Maria jewelry.

MY VERDICT: All hail the lady suit! Selena rocked the red carpet when she joined her “Spring Breakers” costars Ashley Benson and Vanessa Hudgens at the premiere of their film in Berlin wearing a fierce pinstripe black suit with gold detail from Atelier Versace.  This two-piece ensemble is brand-spanking-new as it was only recently debuted during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week last month—and it might be the coolest thing Miss Gomez has ever worn.  Not only are the metallic sequin embellishments obviously a selling point, but the tulle-covered cutout back locked it up for sure. Selena wore her long hair out in side-gathered cascading waves as to not disrupt that detail.  A ponytail would have been less of a hassle, but I pefer her hair out with this one. | continue reading..

WHO: Selena Gomez
WHERE & WHEN: “Spring Breakers” Paris premiere on February 18, 2013.
WEARING: Gucci dress, Jimmy Choo shoes & Melinda Maria jewelry.

MY VERDICT: Selena got sassy in bright blue when she rocked the French premiere of her new movie “Spring Breakers” wearing an ultra-short paillette embroidered dress by Gucci. The sultry mini featured sexy plunging cutout sides along with a voluminous, intricate fanned collar with beaded embellishments. I like the way Sel highlighted the metallic elements with a pair of sleek strappy Jimmy Choo gold and silver “Vivian” sandals. The dress was already heavily detailed, so I’m glad she didn’t go overboard with any accessories, or too much going on with her hair. Selena completed her look with a fun twisted up-do and dramatic dark blue smoky eyes. I think she looked great, but either it’s the lightning or she had on too much face powder. | continue reading..

WHO: Emma Stone
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..

Mary Elizabeth Winstead hit up the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s and In Style celebration of the 2013 Golden Globes Awards Season in Hollywood last night where she added a pop of rich color to an otherwise neutral ensemble.  The brunette beauty wore a asymmetric chocolate brown and ivory silk colorblock dress by Louis Vuitton, from the Resort 2013 collection, which featured button detail down the side of the skirt–as well as the wrist of the single sleeve.

While I appreciate the added dose of color, I can’t say that Mary Elizabeth’s dark burgundy, suede and leather “Ronan” peep toe strappy booties by Max Azria were the best match.  Although, on their own, I think they’re pretty badass. | continue reading..

After taping an appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” earlier in the day, the beautiful Jennifer Lawrence joined her costars Bradley Cooper and Chris Tucker on the red carpet last night for a special Los Angeles screening of their new movie “Silver Linings Playbook”.

As the new face of the “Miss Dior” handbags, it was pretty unsurprising that Jen would opt for another head-to-toe look from the Spring 2013 Christian Dior collection. She did this for the New York screening earlier this month as well.

While I found this black satin tuxedo dress with a pleated skirt and metallic belt to be much better suited for Jen than the trouser look before, I was so underwhelmed by her hairstyle that it ruined everything for me. I was pretty nervous as I thought Jennifer cut her hair off at first glance, but really—we couldn’t do a sleek ponytail or something down and loose?

This pulled back bun was so aging on her, especially with suit dress. She’s only 22-years-old. | continue reading..

Sarah Hyland added a burst of color to her feet when she hit the red carpet on Thursday night for the 10th anniversary celebration of Teen Vogue’s “Young Hollywood” party, sponsored by Emporio Armani.

The “Modern Family” star wore a champagne knit combo black fit-and-flare dress from the Fall/Winter 2012 ERIN by Erin Fetherston collection ($415, erinfetherston.com), which she paired with purple suede platform “Delfa” pumps by Brian Atwood.

Sarah’s heels featured a cool black woven tassel embellishment going down the back. | continue reading..
