Best Dressed of the Weekend- Sonam Kapoor & Diane Kruger kill it!

Best Dressed of the Weekend: Sonam Kapoor & Diane Kruger kill it!
Getty
The Cannes Film Festival closed last night with the premiere of 'Therese Desqueyroux'. I was hoping that Diane Kruger, who has totally killed it day after day this year, would have a finale dress worth waiting for. And I wasn't disappointed – she wore a stunning Christian Dior Couture dress. I loved the fact that she wore it with the panniers, which give it a bit of 18th century drama.
My other favourite, who I didn't expect to see in Cannes this year, was Sonam Kapoor. I have been a big fan of her style for a while now. There is a certain Je-ne-sais-quoi in the way she wears clothes that I simply adore. Yesterday she rocked two dresses. First, a Pre-Fall'12 Alexander McQueen that she wore with a super flattering hairdo and beautiful make up. And later she slipped into a hot red velvet Dolce & Gabbana with matching shoes and a beaded hairband intertwined in her braid. Looking at her is like being transported to a glamorous time of elegant flamboyance.

I didn't want to do a poll this week because it would break my heart to choose between my two ladies but feel free to choose your favourite in the comments section below!

Best Dressed at the amfAR’s Cinema Against AIDS Gala 2012

The amfAR Gala during the Cannes film festival bring out every year all the most stylish actors, models and editors. I would say it is, arguably, much better or at least edgier than the Met Ball and this year has been a great one.
My absolute favourite was, of course, Diane Kruger. She wore one of the Chanel Cruise 2013 designs that went down the catwalk just over a week ago. Diane's ben getting it right every day at Cannes and this is a great stand-out chic look. I was also happy to see Doutzen Kroes at the event. I've been crazy about her ever since I saw her at the Giles FW12 show. She looked amazing in a modern Versace gown. Karolina Kurkova, not happy with being one of the best dressed at this year's Met Ball, had another golden moment in Roberto Cavalli. Simply stunning. Milla Jovovich, who has had both hits and misses in the last couple of days at Cannes, made up for all her mistakes in one of the best pieces from the Atelier Versace SS12 collection.
Anja Rubik has found in the last years the perfect balance between looking ultra sexy and sophisticated. I am loving this Emilio Pucci moment – the pulled-back hair, the smoky eyes, the emerald and diamond jewellery were all great choices. Magdalena Frackowiak wore embellishments, leopard print and feathers all in one dress by Roberto Cavalli. And I just loved how elegant she looked in it. Bianca Balti went for grey, which is not a colour we see very often on the red carpet. But I loved the contrast of the lighter shade of the lace and the darker silk – by Dolce & Gabbana, of course. Jessie J, who I was quite shocked to see in Cannes, went for a leopard print Louis Heal dress. I thought it was quite a refined chic choice, especially for her. And I love the fact that she stayed true to her own style wearing chunky boots

Prada presents ‘A Therapy’ by Roman Polanski

Last night Prada hosted a surprise screening of 'A Therapy' during the Cannes Film Festival. The short film, directed by Roman Polanski and starring Helena Bonham Carter and Ben Kingsley, put a smile on my face. It's hard these days to come across fashion films that don't take themselves too seriously. But of course, we're taking about Prada here: "It's very refreshing to know that there are still places open to the irony and wit and, for sure, Prada is one of them", says Polanski.
'A Therapy' is incredibly chic, full of intense musky colours and features amazing Prada pieces like a purple fur coat and Prada's signature pyramid bag. Not to mention how major it is having Bonham Carter and Kingsley participating.

The Best Dressed of the Weekend posts are never better than during the Cannes Film Festival. This weekend has delivered some show-stopping moments.
Natasha Poly turned up (I don't know why but I don't care) looking absolutely stunning in a green leopard print velvet Gucci dress. It was one of my favourite pieces from the last collection and who better to wear it than one of my favourite models? Her earrings and the incredible eye make up added to the aura of awe.
Jada Pinkett Smith and Freida Pinto made my day when I saw them wearing two of my favourite dresses from the latest Atelier Versace collection. I expected to see them at the Oscars but I guess they work better at Cannes where everyone is a bit edgier. Jada was my favourite of the two – the bright orange was a great choice – but I also appreciated the fact that Freida went for something different.
Paz Vega seems to always get it right at Cannes. Last year she looked incredible in an Azzaro jumpsuit and this year she outdid herself in a Giorgio Armani sequinned gown. It was the perfect fit, the perfect length and elegant yet contemporary – simply a winner!

Diane Kruger wears Giambattista Valli & Versus in Cannes
Diane Kruger wears Giambattista Valli & Versus in Cannes
Getty
I am such a huge fan of Cannes Film Festival. As far as cinema-related festivities go this is definitely my favourite over the Oscars and the Golden Globes. Everything is just unmatchably unrivalled in the Côte d'Azur. This year's edition of the festival opened yesterday with the premiere of Wes Anderson's "Moonlight Kingdom", which I can't wait to see, and the traditional morning photo calls and evening red carpets.

Who better to kick things off that queen of chic and elegance Diane Kruger? We are only on day one and she has already raised the bar a lot for the ladies coming after her. However, I will not speak too soon because last year's greatest hit by Armani Privé came towards the end of the festival.
For the day photo call press event Diane wore a burgundy Versus dress with a pleated skirt and strappy side details. It was a super chic moment, which was made even better by the Jimmy Choo Sandals she wore. I loved the mirroring effect of the gaps in the shoes and the sides of the dress.
For the red carpet in the evening she slipped into a Giambattista Valli Couture gown in a stunning shade of aquamarine. I don't know whether it's the fact that she's German so there is something cold and mysterious about her but she adds a Je-ne-sais-quoi to everything she wears that I love.

One of my favourite things about Cannes is the fact that they do these super fun pictures from the back – roll over the images to see these shots.

Uma Thurman shuts it down at Cannes, literallyUmaLastdayCannes
I guess I spoke too soon...

After finishing my Best Dressed of the Week post I stumbled upon this picture of Uma Thurman in a killing electric blue Armani Privé gown. The gown is so simple, the colour so vibrant and the cut to sharp! It seems like most of the best moments from this year's festival belong to the Italian designer, which makes me very happy!
Forgive the scarcity of text on this post but I thought it was redundant to say much more about how bloody amazing this dress was.

What do you think of Uma's number?

amfAR Gala 2011- highlight or let down
amfAR2011
Cannes finally wrapped up yesterday with the annual amfAR event. Last year the Cinema against AIDS gala saw the most stylish attendees of the festival. This year, though, film stars really raised the bar and made it really difficult, even for fashion insiders, to outside them on the last day.
Carine swapped Tom Ford for Kanye West, quite a downgrade if you ask me. They both wore Givenchy but failed to steal the show. Kanye very much annoys me at this point and I'm disappointed at Carine for not finding a better date.
My favourite was Janet Jackson's choice of Haider Ackermann as genius beyond words. The shape suits her wonderfully, as do the colours and she looks a lot classier and more stylish than she normally does. Jane Fonda was the epitome of elegance at Cannes. She is possibly one of four women in the world who can look so exquisite in Roberto Cavalli. There's little need for more than the understated emerald earrings thanks to the leopard sequins.
Some other of my favourites were Clémence Poésy in Chanel, Anja Rubik in Pucci, Charlotte Casiraghi (who just looks incredible in anything) and Giovanna Battaglia in a rather daring number.
It was also nice to see Julia Restoin Roitfeld wearing a long gown (also by Pucci) and I have to admit I am even
a fan of Elisabetta Canalis' Cavalli
dress, it's super flashy but it somehow
works.

Penélope & Zoe have a Privé moment
PeZoearmaniprivecannes
Is it me or is Cannes lasting longer this year? Not that I'm complaining because it means more amazing fashion moments to enjoy.
Last night one of Rachel Zoe's girls, Zoe Saldana, walked the red carpet is what was the most occasion appropriate dress. Everything about this Armani Privé says French riviera to me. I love how it's all about the white and red stripes, which reminds me of the Chanel's breton stripes Lagerfeld has often done in red. It is a gown with a beachy feel to it, don't the red stripes seem to be made of sand?

Penélope Cruz, who already had several Cannes hits, is back on tour promoting 'Pirates on the Caribbean'. For the German premiere in Munich she also wore Armani Privé. We had seen a very similar number in blue on Anne Hathaway at the Oscars but I actually like this cut and colour more. It seems to have been altered to the smallest millimetre to fit Pe perfectly and she wears it in a way that needs to jewellery whatsoever. I wonder who's styling her?

I am really happy with this year's edition of Cannes film festival. Most people have made a good effort and it's paid off. Rachel McAdams and Penélope Cruz almost restored my faith in Marchesa. And I also started to believe that Pe can actually dress. Her Givenchy and Stella McCartney moments were definitely highlights of the festival.

Some other of my favourites have been slightly less talked about. Spanish actress Paz Vega rocked an Azzaro jumpsuit (a spin off of Carey Mulligan's Azzaro dress from last year's Cannes). I was impressed with how well she wore it. I loved the choice of shoes and the hair but I would have made the trousers straighter. Jane Fonda looked über-elegant in a blue gown and an amazing diamond and sapphire necklace. Clotilde Courau had one of those classic moments of a simple number with a trail in a champagne hue and Elizabeth Olsen showed not once but twice that I wasn't wrong in predicting we could expect great things from her.

The absolute star of the show for me was Fan Bing Bing. She has not only the best designer liaisons but an exquisite flair for fashion. She pulled off everything from a personally designed gown with Oriental motifs (which apparently took 4 months to make), to a couple of Versace Atelier (my two favourites) and  some Elie Saab Couture. Simply outstanding. I really hope she gets a role in a big period drama soon so we get lots of brilliant red carpet moments like these.

TITLEcannes2011day1Cannes2011day1
Day one of the Cannes film festival started with all the right fashion choices. Cannes is a lot of fun because we always get to see an arrival day look for the photocall at the marina and an evening gown for the red carpet event.
My two favourites of the day were Rachel McAdams and Uma Thurman. Rachel first wore a Maxime Simoens cocktail number that read a lot better on the catwalk that it did against her pale skin and golden locks. To make up for it she wore an extraordinary Marchesa dress of red lace and nude chiffon. It's rare that a Marchesa dress blows me away because they are often overused but Rachel wears is with great flair. And I loved the sort of retro weaves on her hair!
Uma had two hits in a row. The first with one of the season's famous Dolce & Gabbana white dresses. A very simple and very sexy number that fit her like a glove. The second, also in white but by Versace. I loved the cut-outs of the original dress but I loved the kind of old Hollywood glamour that their absence gave the gown.
I was also very keen on Fan Bing Bing's choice. I first noticed her at the last Christian Dior Couture show and I loved her kind or oriental take on Dita Von Teese's style.
Salma Hayek, however, had not only one miss but two. Both signed by Gucci.

shutting (it) down at Cannes

After almost two full weeks of never-ending premiers and their subsequent red carpets and parties the 2010 Cannes film festival has wrapped up. This year we have seen the unexpected style change of Kate Beckinsale (Coco's Tea Party explains it best) as well as other amazing fashion moments that I have religiously reported here. The closing ceremony, far from being boring clothes-wise, delivered some looks I did not see coming.
Image and video hosting by TinyPic
First of all, Beckinsale (who did not wear a white Marchesa) totally looked the part in a Nina Ricci from the FW10 collection that mixed layers of fabric with bits of lace and see-through material. She was desperately asking for that little bit of edge. Kristen Dunst went for a bright turquoise Chanel Cruise 2011 dress fresh from the catwalk. It is not a colour we normally see at this kind of events but I very much loved it, as I did the simple but interesting design. I did hate her shoes the hem of the dress, which looked lovely from the side but odd from the front. Diane Kruger joined the colour club for the evening, for which Giulia and I will be eternally grateful as we're tired of her black and white Chanel. Instead, she donned a fuchsia Jason Wu with dropped from a beautiful black bustier with lace and sequins.
All in all,  this was a very amusing year in terms of fashion. I am so intrigued about Beckinsale and whether she'll keep up the good work or go back to her old tricks. What do you think?
I'm off.

When the gods descend

Right, so this is where I eat my words. I have spoken too much too soon regarding Cannes. Yes, Cate Blanchett looked alluring in McQueen; yes, Michelle Williams looked fantastic with in her silver mini-dress. But I didn't see this coming. Last Thursday, Tom Ford, Carine Roitfeld and her two very stylish offsprings (and with Giovanna Battaglia clinging to Vladimir's arm) made THE appearance at the amfAR's Cinema Against AIDS 2010 benefit gala in Cannes. I honestly have no words to describe this. Seeing Carine in Alaïa and posing next to Tom gives me goose pumps and her stare from behind her locks makes my knees shake. Julia totally rocked the event with a Mark Fast that proved she's very much learnt how to be fashion-forward from mummy while Vladimir and Giovanna, more classic but über-cool, both donned Armani.

stars aligned

Right, so I am not going to try and convince anyone of it but this is the kind of moments that make red carpet events worth it for me. Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling hit the Cannes festival this morning promoting their new film "Blue Valentine". I have been a pretty big fan of the two for a very long time —ever since 'Dawson's Creek' with her and 'The Young Hercules' with him. I was in awe of Michelle's new platinum blonde hair-do when I first saw it and Gosling is so cool he really can do no wrong (check out his airport look on the left). When they come together even fashion seems unimportant, so I don't care much for 'who' she was wearing.
Image and video hosting by TinyPic
I tried to find the trailer but it seems it hasn't been released yet even though the film is out this year and it was shown previously at Sundance. Instead, have a look at this clip from the film. there seems to be great chemistry between them so I can't wait to see what the film is like. In the meantime, don't miss Gosling's 'Half Nelson' or 'Murder by Numbers', two really good movies.

I'm off.

PS. And sorry for the über-cheesy title. I couldn't help myself.

the canny jumpsuit

So far, the best adjective to describe this year's Cannes festival in terms of fashion is inconsistent. There have been great moments by Cate Blanchett and Carey Mulligan, and even a more unexpected Beckinsale one (in Balmain today). But there have also been pretty bad moments courtesy of Eva Longoria and anyone else who wore the boring new Gucci Première. And to add up to the inconsistency, Elsa Pataky, a Spanish actress, surprised everyone looking dashing in a ruffled Fendi jumpsuit. The cleverest part of this choice was the fact that the jumpsuit in question had ruffles both at the front and back, something pretty handy when you're photographed from either side at will.

Also today, I found Cate Blanchett on the new cover of W magazine. In the spread inside, which is not to be missed, Blanchett donned another jumpsuit of a similar features this time by Chloé. This got me thinking about the tricky nature of jumpsuits and how much easier it seems to pull of in a jersey or silk of this champagne-meets-khaki kind of hue. I found two other similar, more casual jumpsuits by Halston and Stella McCartney that confirmed my theory.

Bow alert

In the last few months Carey Mulligan has gone from being this cute blonde dating Shia LaBeouf to becoming a respected star. She has, since then, moved all the way to the top of my style radar (yes, I have a list...) and really getting good attention for her fashion choices. Her Cannes premiere moment occurred a few days ago and consisted of a costume made navy Azzaro with a beaded collar and a bow at the waist. It made me think of Carey's BAFTA's dress by Vionnet that she recently donated to Oxfam and that also had a bow at the waist. She has the kind of romantic and elegant style can makes the bows look right instead of kitsch (like Hathaway at the Oscars in 2007).
Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Coincidentally, Dior's Cruise 2011 collection was shown yesterday in Shanghai. Bows were everywhere, as was the 60's inspiration, which is getting old. Galliano seems to only be editing his previous Cruise collections and pretending to be inspired from different parts of the world to create the new ones. In any case, I think that Carey would look quite amazing in some of these dresses. They look dated and verging on tawdry but Mulligan's figure could do wonders with them. Tiina Laakkonen, hope you're taking notes.

Eva tries to pull a Vic

If the film-related events at Cannes weren't enough to provide plenty of celebrity style, some decide to go for shopping sprees in the city as well. Eva Longoria paid a visit to the Hermès store (because, you know, there is no Hermès in LA) in a horrid body-con Hervé Léger, blue Birkin, YSL Tribtoo's and degrade sunnies. If the references to Posh spice weren't enough, she Longoria added the miserable expression, which makes the whole moment absolutely hilarious.

McLoveStory

Cannes 2010 just rolled out the red carpet today and what could easily be the best fashion moment has already happened. The greatest thing about Cannes is that we get extra looks, as the actors first pose by the dock on their arrival and then change for the photo call by the red steps of the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès.
Cate Blanchett made my jaw drop this morning —literally. She arrived at the festival in a pale pink Giorgio Armani Privé (see here) that together with her fair skin and blond hair instantly made me think of Grace Kelly. It was the kind of beauty you don't see every day. Later, for her movie premiere (and after a lot of twitter rumours) she slipped into a Pre-Fall10 Alexander McQueen dress. The gigantic eagle plastered across the front of the dress might make you cringe at first but if you look at the whole you will realise how it somehow works on her. She looks like royalty. After all, that is what the eagle has always symbolised .
Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Cate Blanchet is extremely faithful to her dress makers —you'll rarely see her out of an Armani, a Balenciaga or a McQueen. But it's with the latter that Cate has a love affair with. Some of her best (and my favourite) fashion moments have been courtesy of Lee. There has been the odd mistake but even then she looked graceful and beautiful.

week's HIGHLIGHTS

It's been a nice week y'all. I have finally had an uneventful, still and quiet week. Thank God.
I have this compulsive disorder which consists on me saving all the images I like when I surf the net. I only keep the more recent ones —that's to say, the ones from the last 6-10 months— but even if I make a deleting session every once in a while, the current collection is made up by some 10.300 pictures of catwalk shots, celebrity candids and other various sorts of crap. I couldn't live without it, though, as there's nothing more amusing than wasting away hours and hours of my life watching and re-watching all these images. And that's exactly how I got to the conclusion that I wanted to make a week's highlights this lovely sunday morning.

The week kicked off quite spectacularly with Cannes festival and a radiant Cate Blanchett fresh out of the Olympus in a wonderfully layered Armani Privé that went perfect with her skin-tone. Later in the festival (yesterday) Penélope Cruz arrived in the exclusive festival to promote her Woody Allen film in a quite simple dress of a a beautiful shade of blue with the most fantastic delicate details in wine velvet. Matching shoes.

Cannes also means Brad Pitt tosses out his dreadful ordinary clothing (I guess he thinks scruffy is synonym for masculine) and gets into his custom made Tom Ford suit and an amazing piece of the most brand-new eyewear. Of course, Mr. Pitt goes nowhere without Mrs. Pitt. Angelina has now mastered the art of being pregnant and dressing as a deliciously chic (yet wildly sexy) mom-to-be.

The last entertainment of the week has been the launch of some Cruise 2009 collections. I have to say, I find Cruise such a bore, but I can't ignore it. De la Renta used some nice über-bright colours and his usual silhouettes and cuts. It was all very summery, elegant and feminine; but blah.
Fendi didn't do the runway and simply took photos of the models in one of their stores. While the clothes are not very Fendi-like, I liked the simplicity of them. I did find them very resort, a bit Alexander Wang S/S'08, but booooring.

Christian Dior presented a collection with too much going on, which doesn't strike as surprising coming from Galliano. It was very old Hollywood glamour if the hills were in Mexico. Folk, loads of bold colours and flowers.

Chanel had the longest (or maybe it was me) Resort collection ever and, while I cannot speak ill of Herr Lagerfeld, it was not amazing. Plenty of pretty, well-crafted dresses. I am into that kind of hippy-star-goes-to-rehab look (specially on Sasha) but it was otherwise just amusing. I did love Diane Kruger in a lovely dark blue mini dress and a straw hat.

BRIGHTER than sunshine


I did not intend to write another post devoted to Cannes, but recent events have washed over my mind and made me change it. There are very few individuals in the world who deserve the unbelievable honour that being talked about in my blog is. This only occurs when the sun is darkened by the brightness of something or someone out of the ordinary, which is short for: Brangelina did Cannes yesterday.
It's a little bit funny how easy and smoothly the Jolie-Pitt's make their way through premieres and people. Looking at the images of their arrivals on the screen it always appears as if they glide rather than walk and the only vision of it seems strangely divine and hypnotic. And their descent —they did come down the stairs— at the French movie festival was no exception.
My first reaction to the view of the über-popular hurricane was an inner smile, I thought: "They did it again". Then, like the rest of the mortals, I was stonned. But when the charm was over I suddenly realized they now have the same hair colour, they draw on their faces the same sort of kind but slightly fake smile and they flowed in unison. Angelina has somehow learned to salute like any other queen; for she is a queen, one with no country or throne but one who could fill any of them within the sole blink of one of those bluish green weapons God provided her with.
And Pitt. I wonder all the time about him. It looks to me like he is a mere product of his lover, a manufactured puppet. I couldn't have imagined him like this —almost geniuinely stylish— only a few years ago when he was still dating sweetheart Jennifer Aniston. And what about the time when he had the tough cubicle-headed look a little before Mr. and Mrs. Smith came along? But I above all unlikely events believe in style miracles; not in the ones who make someone good or gentle or even nice, but in the ones about image. I would now re-baptise Brad and name him "Extreme Makeover: Jolie Edition".
Let's not forget about the movie they came to Europe for promoting: A Mighty Heart. I will make as much noise about it as the media did: Angelina has dark curly hair in it. Now we may move on.
But I won't move on. I'll stop at once. This is as much as I desired to write today concerning this matter. I felt it was my citizen —and blogger— duty to report what has been THE event at Cannes. The festival is already watching the last of its seventh day fading away into the night.

I'm off.

when foreigners do CANNES


Everytime, around this time of the year, I wonder if those attending the Cannes Film Festival will not succeed; if they will fail through the stony and yet velvety way that the red carpet is. But once more, disappointment has get to me. I shall not be the most stylish being on Earth for another year. (You can send me your condolences in the shape of garments)

Getting back to the matter... We're only on the third day of the Festival and still I can already name Mr. "All-girls-even-lesbians-wanna-s***w-you" Jude Law the most stylish celebrity of this edition. If his usual elegance wasn't enough to eclipse the lady on his side and the rest of stars and crew of the festival, he chose Mrs. Ray Ban as his carpet-companion. Jude —we've been friends since I introduced him to Sienna Miller— went for a casual-chic look for the morning; he glam-ed it up with a black bazer and his signature vest over an underwear white plain tee.

The shoes were absolutely amazing, laced, shiny and pointed; and it all reached perfection with the superb Aviators in gold. Those same shoes, he used for the night event. Even though it started before darkness took over, Law put on his magnificent and always spotless tuxedo and this time he changed his shades for classy Way Farers. Both looks are almost matchless. By the way, that girl standing next to him is singer Norah Jones, who also stars in his film —she is actually the main character, but who cares anyway.
On the hot and girly side of the matter we have to talk about Diane Kruger. I had never really noticed her; I knew she existed, though. But this time I noticed her, I did INDEED! She was stunning and the audience was lucky enough to enjoy her through the whole night since she was the host of the show. She spoke a perrrfect —and rather sexy, if I will— French as a result of her German roots and being married to director Guillaume Canet. Her beauty and good choice on the outfit made her shine so strongly nobody could've ingnored her even with eyes closed.
Another beauty of the night was a particular dame with a very large carrer in the film industry: Juliette Binoche. She is one os those ladies who get more and more interesting and attractive as time makes an affect on them.
Already in her forties, she caught most of the media attention not only for being such a talented celebrity but for that elegant and charming look in her eyes which makes you feel like only both of you exist in the world; like nothing or no one else is needed but you and her. And she wore black, and did it like the greatest goddess. There are very few times when language is usless and inferior to reality; and this is one of these times.
Well, well, well... there's probably no one in the world who is able to do what this magician of fashion does. Il signore Valentino has not always the best tailored and proportioned tuxedo on, but also the sexiest company. Former-Devil Liz Hurley brought some colour into the picture and seduced the flashes with her curves and that lowered look she has always used —must've worked more than once— as she reflected on Valentino's I'll-leave-you-speechless shoes. I guess I'm pretty much out of words when I try to explain perfection.

And know, for the HUGE mistakes of the day... —you didn't expect me to simply talk nice and go, did you? I should warn you beforehand, though. This, I didn't expect either. This gentleman has always showed a particular sense of classyness in all the events he's attended to so far; but even Jake Gyllenhaal screws it up. DULL would probably be an understatement if we try to talk about his ensemble; not only it is indeed dull, but who in a sane state of mind would ever let someone go out with blue suit and brown shoes?!!!!!??!!! There is no human way I can comprehend this. And, ok, before we proceed to his even worse —if that's possible— company, let me just tell you that I just find something very bizarre on his face. But I'll leave that to your consideration. Now, Chloë Sevigny. There's very little to say about this person. I never understood why she has even been considered a fashion icon at times, but THIS!! this is just terrible, a catastrophe. Again, I can only find an understatement: unproportioned. Black & white with gold and puffiness all around? Is she on crack? Please, make me look to her no more. I cannot comment her. Forgive me.
I'm off.

PS. Look at that cuuute golden scorpion and try NOT to throw up.
