  • Michelle Williams for Band of Outsiders

    Michelle Williams was recently snapped up to join the list of celebs that have posed for Band of Outsiders. The shoot was for their Spring 2012 collection and the spread it really adorable.
    She has an almost Alice in Wonderland quality about her here, a definite far cry from her vivacious role as Marilyn Monroe, and the whole shoot is just beautiful. Here are some of my favourite images from the shoot but you can see all of the photos here.

  • The Screen Actor’s Guild Awards 2012 – Red Carpet Round-Up part 2

    And here’s part 2 of the looks from the red carpet at the Screen Actor’s Guild Awards…
    When I tweeted that doing a red carpet round up of the SAG’s would just be a good excuse to fawn over the Glee girls again, I wasn’t kidding. Two ladies who really came into their own that the awards were Naya Rivera and Lea Michele. Naya improved so much from her Golden Globes looks and chanelled her inner J-Lo in a gorgeous Naeem Khan, with glossy waves and minimal silver jewellery. She looked amazing!
    Lea Michelle definitely gave Naya a run for her money in this Atelier Versace gown. She worked it hard on the red carpet, flashing the thigh high split plenty of times for the camera.

    Jenna Ushkowitz was a pleasant surprise to see at the event. She looked amazingly Summery in a floral print Rebecca Minkoff gown. I love this look on Jenna, it’s such a flattering cut and her beach-y ombre hair is perfect for the dress. I always look forward to seeing Dianna Agron and though this Carolina Herrera dress suits her so much better than her Golden Globes look, I’m finding her a little ‘meh’…well as ‘meh’ as you can get with Dianna she still does look stunning and I do love her hair braid! Just hoping she finds her fashion mojo soon.
    The Glee girls were also rocking the LBD’s at the event. Try as I might, I couldn’t fall in love with Amber Riley‘s look. Her Badgley Mischka dress was a nice change from all the gowns at the event but the bow detailing and her hair was just a bit too OTT for my liking. Jayma Mays wore a love glittering Reem Acra gown (with some stunning back detailing, which you can see here). Heather Morris was another miss for me, in a sheer and leather fishtail dress, I felt like she was trying a little too hard here. 

    Shailene Woodley and Emily Blunt brought some much needed colour in L’Wren Scott and Oscar De La Renta. The dress looks great on Shailene but I’m thinking this look might have been more appropriate at something more informal like the Teen Choice Awards. Emily’s gown was equally as stunning, but her hair seriously ages her. 
    *le sigh* I was hoping Angelina Jolie would go on a ‘no black on the red carpet’ streak but I was wrong, her black Jenny Packham gown is giving me serious deja vu. 
    And finally Kaley Cuoco looked positively angelic in Romona Keveza, this was such a great Cinderella moment for her, the colour looks amazing. Plus I love the fish tail braid trend her and Dianna were rocking too.

  • The Screen Actor’s Guild Awards 2012 – Red Carpet Round-Up part 1

    This marks my first year covering the Screen Actor’s Guild Awards, but I couldn’t resist a red carpet round up when so many starlets greatly improved upon their Golden Globes looks! 
    My top two looks from the evening come two actresses staring in The Help. Emma Stone stepped out in Alexander McQueen, once again looking flawless (seriously I wanna shake her stylist’s hand every time she walks the red carpet). Then Best Actress winner Viola Davis is a vision in an angelic white Marchesa gown. These two women not only show some personality in their styling but are proof that staying classy always looks great on awards night.

    Speaking of improvements. Michelle Williams really caught my eye this time around in a red hot Valentino look with lace inserts. Some may say she was still playing it safe, but Michelle is never one to parade herself like her on-screen alter ego Marilyn. She definitely stood out from the crowd this time around compared to her Golden Globes gown.

    Bring some va va voom to the red carpet were Sophia Vergara and Amber Heard. Sticking to her trusted formula of a figure hugging, but flattering, Marchesa gown and simple jewels, Sophia worked that red carpet. Whereas Amber left some room for imagination in her panelled Zac Posen, looking very Scarlet Johanssen-like.

    Pale pastels were a big trend at the SAG’s. Here we have Berenice Bejo in glittering Ralph Lauren, a slightly disappointing looks from Tilda Swinton in Lanvin (hopefully she’ll step it up for The Oscars), a stunning looking Kristen Wiig in Balenciaga (though I’m still on the fence about her wearing a choker with this), and a much improved look from Kelly Osbourne in Badgley Mischka.
