Gwyneth & Beyonce are a Shoe in

Both Gwyneth and Beyonce were seen at the Unforgettable Evening event at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel earlier this week.

Gwyneth's outfit was top notch, teaming a pleated ivory Calvin Klein Dress with a matching shoulder sharp Balmain jacket. Sharp shoulder detailing on coats and jackets has become a massive trend on the international runways. Gwyneth also pumped up the excitement factor with a pair of feather detailed Roger Vivier shoes in hues of pink and yellow.

Diva-sensation, Beyonce Knowles kept it surprisingly simple (according to her standards), in a black Jean Paul Gaultier wool and crepe dress. She kept the bling to a minimum with light-reflective details lining her heels. However, Beyonce really made a statement with the beaded wooden necklace attached to the JPG dress.
The event was a Cancer Benefit, but fundraising and fashion seem to work hand in hand in Hollywood.

For those who aren't really into showing off their sunny side in a top-to-toe ensemble in festive hues, do as Rachel Bilson, Mary-Kate, Hilary Duff,Victoria Beckham and Fergie by adding a single statement making bag or clutch in yellow.

Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York

The Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York was once again a glamorous affair.
I can't help but think how wonderful it would to have Jennifer Lopez as a mum. She seems like the type that loves her loved ones to death and would do anything for her two babies Max & Emme. She's certainly springing back into shape in a flash, she looks like she may even get thinner than her pre-pregnancy weight. They look sooo happy no?


Why am i not surprised Beyonce gown in this style? At least this time she looks as if she can sit and breathe for that matter. The pastel pink is beautiful against her complexion and her hair and make up are so glamorously low key and somewhat unexpected for Beyonce.

Ahhh my girl Katie Holmes! She embodied every little girls fairytale-to grow up and dress like a princess. Only difference is she's already grown up and she's already Hollywood's princess, and this innocently fun outfit looks like a child going through mama's closet and dressing up. I love how the matching red eye shadow made her look luminous rather than drugged up and tired. The clashing blue pumps are perfect.

Rachel Bilson's dress got a lot of negative feedback, because it kind of looks like a Olympic swimming team body suit. I don't mind it too much, it has that Alexander McQueen sleek feel to it, however the bangs in her face is what's really throwing me off, it doesn't really fit with the whole look. Prehaps a swept up slicked look would have flown better in the whole.


Perhaps inspired by wonder women, Christina Ricci's outfit was my favourite of the night. Wasn't she once the cute curvy girl? She seems like she's a dress size smaller at every event.


WOW! How sophisticated does Ashley Olsen look? She's got that mature womanly vibe going on and that smile!! I love the modern cut-out design of Ashley's dress, which contrasts perfectly to Mary-Kate's glitzy vintage glitzy gold number. I love Mr Louboutin's studded oxford shoes too :)

Victoria Beckham lives for this sort of thing. Dressing up, posing and mingling with the best of them. Her white lace dress is extremely sexy and the girls got the body for it. Many thought her make-up was far too severe, but it does work well with her hair and the red lips add colour to an otherwise black and white couple.


Escorted by the likes of Mr Dolce & Mr Gabbana would sure put a smile on your face too. Scarlett Johansson kept to her style of frilly dresses with plenty of cleavage push. I like how she played up the cute factor with the headband and puffy dress as opposed to her usual sex-bomb status, then again an "engaged" women must spare her assets for her one and only leading man. ;)

Beyonce- Chanel Pimpette of the Week

This is the exact reason why my mother tells me not to wear a truck-load of make-up on a regular basis.

When people get so used to seeing you with your hair-did and your make-up perfected layer upon layer, it's rather bizarre to see you remotely natural, as these pictures of Beyonce in New York demonstrate. Its as if i'm looking at a completely different person.

Although she personally looks like she is trying to hard in this get up, she has chosen a few good pieces. Beyonce wears:

  • Cropped leather biker jacket
  • Chanel fingerless long leather gloves
  • Chanel leather and patent handbag
  • Chanel vintage style wayfarer sunglasses. This pair comes in numerous colours as well as reading glasses, as modelled by Christy Turlington in the latest Chanel eyewear campaign.

I also don't understand why Beyonce can't just wear a simple t-shirt, jeans, heels and rock some cool sunglasses during the day? Is that so hard??? Ok Beyonce, we know you've got money...you just don't need to flash it all the time.

I personally like this pair of 60's inspired Chanel sunglasses for myself...very Nicole Richie-esque isn't it?

A lifetime investment- Leather Coats


Leather seems to be a best friend to many when the weather gets colder and colder. I'm sure everyone has one leather jacket or coat that has been sitting at the back of their wardrobe unworn for several years.


Now it's time to bring it out again with Beyonce and Angelina Jolie working the classic black leather coat into their winter wardrobes. Whilst many runways such as Chanel Cruise, Burberry Prorsum and Yves Saint Laurent undated the classic black coat with studs, stars, patent and quilting details.


I should invest in one soon because a leather coat is probably one of the most versatile things to invest in, as it pops up on many Fall runways every year, goes with everything, never goes out of fashion, and leather looks better as it gets older.

Beyonce wants to make me jealous as well


Beyonce's shoe closet has been added to my list of closet's to burgle.


Beyonce along with her man Jay-Z and Kayne West attended the New Jersey Nets’ NBA basketball game wearing my Lust-have Christian Louboutin studded Ariella boots in black. I want, i want it want!!!


These are the same ankle boots that were seen on the likes of international fashion model Coco Rocha, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen.


If you want them you can buy them on net-a-porter for around $1060 and now they also come in an 'above the knee' version...the more studs the merrier.

Silk and satin dresses


The Movies Rock event this week so many celebrities rocking out in classic satin and silk-like dresses and to tell you the truth i find it quit boring.


Everyone seemed to be playing it on the safe side at the event with simple dresses in light reflecting material, Fergie probably had the most interesting dress out of the shiny lot with rivets, ties and a bit of skin showing her and there.


As for Beyonce all i can say is "Dear God". The green 'body-strangler' she wore made her look a lot larger than she is and showed of her curves in the most unflattering of way. See this is what happens when every celebrity thinks their fashion designers.


Besides all the dresses she wears these days, look exactly the same except in different colours.
