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.

WHO: Bradley Cooper, actor
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.

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: Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2012 floral lace cocktail dress.

MY VERDICT: What an interesting pairing of colors. We’ve seen many different variations of this lace Dolce & Gabbana dress, both full-length and shorter like Diane’s, but typically it’s paired with black accessories. | continue reading..

Everyone knows that when Coachella rolls around, you need to prepare yourself to be bombarded with photos of concert goers in fringe, tribal prints, boots, floppy hats, feathers (of any kind), cut off shorts and swimwear. After short while, the uniform becomes boring, somewhat obnoxious, and in some cases — downright disturbing.

It was a breath of fresh air when Dree Hemingway attended the poolside BBQ party thrown by Burton Snowboards on Saturday, Day 2 of the festival. | continue reading..

Kate Bosworth and Lily Collins were two of the stars enjoying the festivities last night at the “Firepit” party hosted by Mulberry last night during Coachella.

Guests at the Parker Palm Springs were treated to tasty food, fun style, and good music as the band Kasabian performed during the “Where The Wild Things Are”-themed event.

The weather wasn’t ideal so instead of a slinky summer wardrobe, Kate and Lily stayed warm in their spring best. | continue reading..
