Givenchy virginia gladiator sandal



Can't stop coveting these lovely $700 gladiator sandals by Givenchy. Available in black, copper metallic and off-white at Barneys and mytheresa.

the Met Ball

Clean and simple: Emma Stone in Lanvin (the pic of her with Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz was adorable) and Amber Valletta in Prada. One of many in Prada because of the new exhibit and, I have to say, I like hers the best.
All Covered Up: Mary-Kate Olsen in The Row, this look is pretty shocking and monastic, it's true.  But considering how tiny she is, it fit her very well and her trashy, bleached her is a great contrast to the stark dress. Kirsten Dunst sort of looked like a '30s librarian in her Rodarte ensemble (it's not even a dress!) but I still loved it. And love her pose! As much as people made fun of Angelina at the Oscars, she has started a red carpet trend of having a pose to match your outfit.

Silver Sirens: Camilla Belle in Ralph Lauren collection (I thought this was Versace) - I didn't love this dress but I liked her whole look with the hair pulled back and the dark lipstick. Lana del Rey really vamped it up in this sparkly number by Joseph Altazurra. And yes, Gwyneth did the cape first, but it must be said, capes look better in black.


Bangs with Black: Liv Tyler, I'm just happy to see you. No really, her Givenchy dress was really stunning. Liked it better than Rooney Mara's dress from the same fashion house. Marion Cotillard looked like the Frenchie she is in head-to-toe Christian Dior. Many at the met ball did the sheer skirt look but hers was the most interesting.

Oscars - my best dressed

 Jessica Chastain looked amazing in this Alexander McQueen dress that most likely looked a little scary on the rack. And loved that she wore her hair down. My best dressed.

 My number two of the night was definitely Milla Jovovich in Elie Saab Couture.

 And while I don't think I would ever wear this dress, as an overall look Michelle Williams killed it in Louis Vuitton (although I could've done without the bow detail on the waist).

 My honorable mention went to Rooney Mara in Givenchy couture. I do agree that it could've been tailored better for her, as many have commented. The back of the dress is nonetheless stunning.
As for Gwyneth Paltrow and her Tom Ford cape-dress -- I thought it was kind of adventurous but not really. Of all the dresses in the world...and she wears a cape?

Rooney Mara in Givenchy




Although I'm still not sure how I feel about Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (I loved Noomi Rapace in the Swedish version), I loved the Givenchy white cutout dress she wore to the NYC premiere. Delicate and tough all at the same time! And the detail shots really show what a work of art this dress is. Kudos to Rooney Mara's stylist, well done. Very much looking forward to seeing David Fincher's take on this dark thriller.
