WHO: Ben Affleck
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: Gucci

MY VERDICT: When major red carpet events pop up during awards season, we typically see the nominated fellas in classic black tuxedos.  I have to say that I’m loving Ben’s alternative with Gucci midnight blue.  As if the color wasn’t already sharp, I’m a big fan of the satin trim and matching bow tie. Well done, Mr. Affleck.

WHO: Eddie Redmayne
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: Topman

MY VERDICT: Oh, Eddie who is dressing you?  They like you so much. The “Les Misérables” star struck menswear gold once more when he stepped out for the ceremony in a luxe raisin three-piece tuxedo from Topman. The color is so dreamy, but I was further impressed by the matching diamond patterned tie to pop off his white shirt as opposed to classic black.

WEARING: Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2012 floral lace cocktail dress.

Glenn Close was working the carpet last night at the 2012 Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala when she arrived at the Palm Springs Convention Center in this navy blue gown by designer Bibhu Mohapatra.

She was in attendance to accept the prestigious Career Achievement Award during the ceremony.

This was a good look for her; the pleated silk chiffon and sweetheart neckline was pretty and complimenting to the frame. I liked the addition of the sheer attached shrug, especially the fact that it was only a three-quarter length sleeve. | continue reading..

How gorgeous is the beaded embellishing at the top of  Michelle Williams’ Miu Miu dress that she wore last night in Palm Springs for the 2012 Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala?

The 31-year-old actress arrived at the gala to celebrate her film “My Week with Marilyn” wearing this stunning champagne silk duchesse dress enriched with a crystal and pearl embroidered bodice.

I wish the skirt had less wrinkling, but overall, I loved this dress — especially the raw-cut cap-sleeves. The copper shades of beads intertwined with the pearls also picked up the pretty reddish tones of Michelle’s new hair color. | continue reading..
