Looking Forward to Spring Fashion 2014

Looking Forward to Spring Fashion 2014

To warm up those February blues, let's look forward to the upcoming trends for Spring. This season is all about looking soft and feminine, which is deal for refined, yet fashion-forward ladies. Overall, we are also seeing a variety floral-themes and a resurgence of 1920s elegance, filled with short hair, flapper dresses and sleeveless oxford shirts. Ultimately, the designs for this season are truly exquisite!

Florals
For Spring, designers are embracing a light, floral touch to a variety of ensembles. Rebecca Taylor shows this trend stunningly with a pink collared shirt and cropped, flowing trousers. Oscar de la Renta reveals a more playful interpretation of this floral motif with a lime green A-line dress with white lace at the sleeves. These gracefully feminine designs are excellent for feeling vibrant at any patio lunch or outdoor gathering.

Sheers & Layers
This Spring, sheer tops are a great way to look fresh and stylish. Calvin Klein reveals a Bohemian-inspired take on this trend, showing a sheer white dress with fringes at the sleeves and hem. For a more conservative look, women can layer these pieces over a beige camisole, which creates a nice layering effect. You can also combine these sheer pieces with gladiator sandals, a perfect touch for Spring weather.

Maxi Dress
The maxi dress offers the perfect combination of comfort and fashion. Known for its weather-versatility, the maxi dress is long enough for chilly evenings, yet also light enough for humid days. Women often pair also a loose cardigan or light scarf with the maxi dress, giving the outfit more complexity and style.

Blazer
Blazers are hot, hot, hot! They are ideal for adding structure and refinement to those flowy spring dresses. Also, the blazer can help create a smoother look for a shapely figure. IN terms of colors, black or white blazers are a safe and classic option. However, blazers in the pastel-color range are also quite vogue this Spring such as yellows, mints and peaches.

Bridal Jewelry
Fashion Supremacy features a dreamy set of necklaces which make exquisite bridal adornments. With the Enchanting Dream Necklace, every bride can feel proud to walk down the aisle. This piece features gorgeous white glass pearls, bright Swarovski crystals and a stunning central snowflake for added sparkle and drama. The Enchanted Dream Head Piece also provides an treasured addition to a bridal gown. For extra dazzle, the Frosted Glitz Necklace is also a popular piece with rhinestone beads and hand-blown glass pearls, elegantly weaved through a crocheted wire bed. There are also Swarovski crystals and silver flowers laced along the center, allowing a bride to glimmer and elicit awe as she walks toward her new life.

AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS 2015: BEST & WORST DRESSED

AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS 2015: BEST & WORST DRESSED

JLo danced like everybody were watching, Celine Dion paid homage to Paris, Demi went Chicago and Megan Trainor made out with Charlie Puth: do you really want to know what happeded at the 2015 American Music Awards?

Last night Los Angeles was all about the music, thanks to the 2015 AMAs. 

The host for the night was the iconic Jennifer Lopez, who set the stage on fire dancing to a medley of the year best hits, like Mark Ronson’s Uptown Funk, Nicki Minaj’s Anaconda, Beyoncé’s 7/11, The Weeknd’s Can’t Feel My Face, Taylor Swift’s Bad Blood, Drake’s Hotline Bling and Rihanna's BBHMM. On one side the performance looked more like a Dsquared2 commercial, (since everyone was wearing the fall winter 2015 collection), but on the other side it was good to watch JLo giving dance classes to today's artists. 

Another highlight of the evening was provided by Celine Dion: the Canedian singer performed Edith Piaf's L'Hymne à L'Amour as a tribute to the victims of November 13.

Somehow the show ended with Justin Bieber performing a medley of its latest singles and One Direction winning Artist of the year.

I believe it is better to move to the fashion.

Let's start with Jennifer Lopez, who found the time to change 9 times during the show (Dsquared2 's performance bodysuit excluded). The star showcased a series of styles that I would describe as following: 

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO LOOK AT?

Charbel Zoe Couture

THE PREDICATABLE NUDES 

Look 2: Charbel Zoe Couture / Look 3: Zuhair Murad Fall 2015 Couture /Look 4: Balmain Spring 2016 ;

I DON'T MIND

Look 5: Julien Macdonald Fall 2015 / Look 6: Zuhair Murad Spring 2016 / Look 7: Zuhair Murad Fall 2015

CLASSY & COLORFUL 

Look 8: Michael Cino Spring 2016 / Look 9: Michael Costello Spring 2016

Moving to the other guests...

It was a night to remember for these ex Disney/Nickelodeon stars, who showed their different personalities on and off the stage...

DAZZLING & SEXY

Selena Gomez in Givenchy Spring 2014

 The best she ever looked and one of my favourite looks of the night.

RETRO GLAM

Demi Lovato in Lorena Sarbu

I am not completely sold on this look, but since the alternative might have been revealing minidresses and wet hair, I will give this ensamble my nulla osta. 

THANK GOD YOU CHANGED YOUR STYLIST

Ariana Grande in Giambattista Valli couture

The hair might look a bit messy, but it is a cute look all togheter: please Ariana stick to this!

Among my favourite red carpet looks: 

SWEET LIKE A CANDY

Zendaya in Emanuel Ungaro Spring 2016

Picking her ensamble straight from the latest Paris Fashion week, Zendaya looked effortlessly beautiful.

THE FEMALE BOSS

Ashley Benson in Max Azria

The Pretty Little Liars star proved to most of the guests that sometimes you do not have to be naked to look sexy.

ELEGANT TO THE BONE

Nina Dobrev in Zuhair Murad Resort 2016; Megan Trainor in Michael Costello

Outfits like these make me love my job a litte more: thank you girls! 

Short break: focus on the social media stars...

LEGS OR BOOBS? BOTH

Gigi Hadid in Bao Tranchi

Relax the short do is just temporary and she actually did not cut her beautiful hair.

Moving to the dress (or what is left of it) there is nothing I could possibly like: as seen on the VS Pink carpet, these super sexy outfit only turn out to look cheap on the red carpet. 

Dear Gigi, less is more, but in your case I would love to se more taste, more originality and more fabric.

TRY HARD & TRY HARDER

Kendall Jenner in Oriett Domenech ; Kylie Jenner in custom Bryan Hearns

So Kendall was easily my favourite here...but it not difficult to look better than your 18 year old sister who desperately tries to look like a dominatrix at a public event. 

Back to the music, with the "girlband vs boyband" section:

WHERE IS THE HARMONY?

Fifth Harmony vs One Direction

Fifth Harmony managed to leave me speachless one more time (and not in a good way), while One Direction proved to me that clearly Harry Styles does not want to look like one of the group when it comes to fashion.

And speaking of the boys...

WILD CHILD vs 50 SHADES OF GREY

Justin Bieber in Fear of God (shirt), Amiri (jeans) and Vans (shoes); Nick Jonas in Topman

Can you imagine them switching their outfits?

Do you know what Fashion-mess means? Take a look: 

DID YOU SEE MY PANTIES?

Gwen Stefani in Yousef Al-Jasmi Spring 2016; Ciara in Reem Acra Fall 2015

I am serious: this type of dresses are starting to look dated!

I am done.  

DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME

WHO WORE WHAT?.....Cannes Film Festival: Days 4-6 Top 10 Best Dressed/Best Dresses!

WHO WORE WHAT?.....Cannes Film Festival: Days 4-6 Top 10 Best Dressed/Best Dresses!

 Red Carpet Goddess: Thai-British actress and L'Oreal Paris Ambassador Araya A. Hargate in Alexis Mabille Couture Fall 2014

This year's Cannes Film Festival has been OUT OF CONTROL FABULOUS in terms of the COUTURE that has been on display on the red carpet. I've covered my Top Ten Best Dressed (or Best Dresses!) of Cannes 2017 Day 1-3 which you can read HERE, so now it is time to continue my "Red Carpet Report" and discuss my Top Ten Best Dresses of Cannes 2017 Days 4-6. Lots of $100,000+ costing gowns to discuss. Oh, and on a side note: Why actresses don't look THIS COUTURE FABULOUS at the Academy Awards is beyond me and very, very frustrating but oh well. It seems the red carpet mantra is...Oscars: Safe. Cannes: Go For It!

Gown Divas: (L to R) Araya A. Hargate, Sonam Kapoor and Aishwrya Rai Bachchan--2017 Cannes Film Festival Cannes France

Let's begin with one of the Red Carpet Divas of the Cannes 2017 Festival--Thai-British (and slightly pregnant) actress Araya "Chompoo" A. Hargate. I must admit that I had no idea who she was until this year's Cannes Film Festival--even with her (as of writing this post) 7.2 MILLION Instagram followers! But now, darlings...she is my new favorite STYLE MUSE...

Queen Araya: Araya A. Hargate at "The Meyerowitz Stories" Cannes 2017 Premiere--Araya wore this entrance-making gown from French designer Alexis Mabille Couture Fall 2014. This style may be from a 3-year-old collection, however, it is still SO NOW, and SO RED CARPET FAB! The strapless design featured an off-white column gown with a gorgeous lipstick red "puffy" overcape attached in the bust line with volants and Empire-waisted bustier. All that stitching you see on the overcape was done BY HAND. It's Haute Couture after all. Araya sure knows how to make an entrance! Definitely, one of my Best Dressed of Days 4-6 Cannes 2017 Film Festival.

Fuchsia Araya: Leave it to Ms. Hargate to not just have one--but TWO--of my Best Dresses from Days 4-6 Cannes Film Festival 2017. This is another fabulous gown that she wore, this time to the Premiere of "120 Beats Per Minute" (120 Battements Par Minute). This UBER Princess gown is from Zuhair Murad Spring/Summer 2017 Haute Couture. The gown was EVERYTHING! Araya has learned that if there was ever a moment to wear SUPER HUGE ballgowns...it's Cannes! (Maybe Aishwarya Rai Bachchan taught her this!). 

The strapless gown featured an asymmetrically placed front bodice bow and multi layered silk tulle ballgown skirt all sewn by hand. How anyone sits in one of those small velvet movie theater chairs in this $100,000+ costing Couture gown is beyond me. But, she looked beautiful and Red Carpet perfect--at least for Cannes.

Sonam Kapoor in Elie Saab Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2017 to "The Killing of a Scared Deer" Cannes 2017 Premiere: Bollywood super-actress and L'Oreal Paris Ambassador (naturally!) wore this golden gown from Elie Saab Haute Couture. The gown featured gold and crystal hand-cut lace applique over nude tulle column gown with overskirt with a plunging sweetheart neckline. She looked DIVINE.  The gown was the finale "Wedding Gown" look of his most recent Haute Couture collection shown in Paris in January of this year. The gown--as seen on the runway--was a tad bit more "revealing". For Sonam, there were more golden appliques added to cover her up and the sequin work was changed so it didn't look so much like palm trees in a Dubai dessert oasis.

Sonam Kapoor in Custom Elie Saab Couture to "The Meyerowitz Stories" Cannes 2017 Premiere: Yes kids, Sonam Kapoor is now TWICE on my Best Dressed of Days 4-6 of Cannes 2017 List. In other words, this Bollywood Diva is SLAYING it! I loved this pink sequined-and-organza-crinoline gown from Elie Saab Haute Couture. The gown had a gorgeous column base dress with a soft silk georgette overskirt. It was belted and she accessorized it with...

FABULOUS jewels including those incredible finger-to-wrist bracelets. Oh, and by the way,  did I mention that her gown was CUSTOM?. So, yeah, not just Haute Couture but really, really, really...made JUST FOR HER. For free! (This would be beyond the $100,000 price tag). Kapoor has 10 MILLION Instagram followers so I am guessing the Elie Saab P.R. crew is hoping some of those followers might buy an Elie Saab perfume or pair of sunglasses the next time they're in at Duty Free or a high-end department store! Irregardless, Thank You Sonam for being Two-For-Two in the Fab Cannes Red Carpet Moments!

Andie MacDowell in Roberto Cavalli at "The Meyerowitz Stories" Cannes 2017 Premiere: Model/Actress Andie MacDowell looked gorgeous at Cannes in this black and violet gown from Italian fashion brand Roberto Cavalli. The gown was elegant, chic, and sexy! And MacDowell looked AMAZING in it. I loved the shape, the dramatic bow, the draped bodice and side front slit. Andie is almost 60 years old (You GO GIRL!) and seriously, she could teach some of the 20-year-old's a lesson in red carpet fabulousness!

Aishwarya Rai in Ralph & Russo Spring/Summer 2017 Couture at the "120 Beats Per Minute" Cannes 2017 Premiere: Oh yes...everyone bow down to Queen Aishwarya. I love that she basically has showed up to this year's Cannes Film Festival to show everyone in the world why she was crowned Miss World many, many years ago. This gorgeous actress/model/Bollywood Diva has still got it (not that anyone thought she lost it!).  I loved this strapless red ballgown (Aishwarya loves a ballgown!) from Ralph & Russo S/S 2017 Couture collection.

The original style--as seen on the catwalk--featured a less-structured bustier (mainly because it was for the super teeny 32" bust measuring model!), and for Rai Bachchan, the bustier was constructed with a little more, shall we say, support. I thought Aishwarya looked like a Red Carpet Goddess...in Red! One of these days, she just needs to bring out that "Miss World" crown and just wear it on the red carpet. It would make A LOT of gays very, very happy! (i.e.: Me!).

Eva Longoria Marchesa Pre-Fall 2017 at "The Killing of a Scared Deer" Cannes 2017 Premiere: Miss Eva gave you some Cannes Red Carpet Realness in this blush colored sequined-and-applique tulle gown from Marchesa Pre-Fall 2017. This is such a beautiful gown, a beautiful 30's-like silhouette, but updated with the nude/blush coloring. I especially loved the capelet detail of the gown and her styling was perfection. Muy bella Eva!

Lana El Sahely in Ralph & Russo Couture Fall/Winter 2016 at "The Killing of a Scared Deer" Cannes 2017 Premiere: Freelance stylist and founder of LArmoireDeLana Blog, Lana El Sahely wound up wearing one of my Top Ten Best Dresses from Cannes 2017 Days 4-6. I have no idea who she is but she was important enough to get a free Ralph & Russo Couture gown--at least for a night. And it looked gorgeous! The style featured white silk crepe gown with pale blue silk organza overskirt hand appliqued with ruffles and embellished with China blue silk thread-work, crystals and glass bead embroidery.

Barbara Meier in Alexis Mabille Spring 2017 Couture at "The Meyerowitz Stories" Cannes 2017 Premiere: German fashion model and actress--best known as the winner of the 2nd cycle of Germany's Next Top Model--wore one of my Top Ten Best Dresses of Cannes 2017 Days 4-6. This royal blue gown was from French designer Alexis Mabille. His Couture creations have been getting some exposure at Cannes which is great; I ADORE his designs. This dress featured an off-the-shoulder style with sequined godets highlighting the neckline with a beautiful simple belted column gown. I also loved her center parted chignon hairstyle.



Last but Not Least in my Top Ten Best Dressed of Cannes 2017 Days 4-6...

Naomi Campbell in Atelier Versace Spring 2017 at the Cannes Fashion For Relief Fundraiser Gala: Leave it to Miss Naomi Campbell to make it onto my Top Ten Best Dressed of Cannes 2017 Days 4-6. She wore this super sexy Atelier Versace Spring/Summer 2017 gown at the "Cannes Fashion For Relief" fundraiser event. The blush colored silk georgette dress featured an intricate Swarovski crystal encrusted web over the base of the gown, as well as side front slit to show off Campbell's iconic legs. This was a perfect choice for Naomi and she, naturally, wore it fabulously.
