Best Dressed of the Weekend: Kate brightens up Sundance

It seems like I've finally managed to (kind of) catch up with most things over the weekend so I am back to my classic Monday post.

I never thought I'd see JLo back on this list after the last time but I love her laid-back look. The distressed jeans, relaxed neutral knit and headband make her look super fresh and really pretty. I really liked how she accessorised the look, especially the leather and croc ankle boots. I want to see more of this.

Eva Mendes has always been too hit-and-miss for me but lately (ever since my older lost brother Ryan Gosling started dating her) she is looking a lot chicer. This late 50's look suits her so well. I love the colour palette and and mix of textures. And those degradé shades add just the perfect touch.

My favourite this week in Kate Bosworth in SS12 Antonio Berardi. She rocked the sexy red number with very simple hair and make up, a silver clutch and matching red shoes, which I actually love here. Sundance has just started and I am hoping for many more moments like this.

Kirsten Dust and Stella McCartney are always a recipe for success. Kirsten wore this SS12 look (how amazing are the brocade cropped trousers!) to Rodarte's dinner at Chateau Marmont last week. I wouldn't say yellow is usually the easier colour for a blonde to pull of but Dunst looked radiant. That's style for you.

I normally don't have too many nice things to say about Eva Mendes' style. I can't quite put my finger in what it is that makes a lot of things look just not right. But when she makes a good choice it's spot on!

This on the right is one of those moments. Not only the yellow camisole is perfectly chic (it reminds me a little of this Versace collection) but the shoes and bag are s great match for it. I would've said she was heading to a boat party in Cannes if I didn't know she was in LA. My favourite of the outfit, though, are the huge round sunglasses and stunning gold earrings.

The way she wears it all and how she's done her hair is so 60's and reminded me a lot not only to Sofia Loren's iconic style from that epoch but more especially of one of her looks from the film "Arabesque" in which she starts alongside Gregory Peck. If you haven't seen it you must as it's, in my view, one of the most stylish movies I've ever seen and Loren changes an insane number of times.

PS. Yes, I do realise I posted a lot of videos as of late. We live in a multimedia universe! Got to take advantage of it!

Best dressed of the weekend: Bows, the good and the bad

Seeing as I have no inspiration to make a collage for today and since the Golden Globes are tonight and they will occupy tomorrow's post I thought it just made sense to post the 'Best dressed of the weekend' today. I don't know if it's because I actually look for pictures more avidly during the weekend but I'll never cease to repeat how much better everyone looks then. This weekend Kristen Dunst slipped into an absolutely stunning Rodarte, which worked so well with the simple girly hair and the dark eye shadow. Let me remember, however, Chloe Sevigny's amazing Rodarte moment from a couple days before. It's quite a coincidence how I should include Olivia Wilde on a post for the first time just when I have decided to start of The O.C. season two. I like her even more as a brunette and her A.L.C. has that kind of "I'm still a surfer girl" vibe to it. It's simple yet interesting and the nude and bronze colours really compliment her skin. Michelle Williams continues on her quest to have me forever in awe. This time she did it with a vintage-inspired Balenciaga dress. If you only look at the top half of the dress you're almost expecting a classic cocktail number, which is why the embroidered scalloped hem is simply genius. It suited her simple styles with heaps of sophistication. And lastly, someone I hardly ever like. Eva Mendes looked incredible in a sheer lace and chiffon Valentino culminating in an oversized black bow to the shoulder (proving Dannii Minogue had no clue what she was doing). What's fair is fair.

Now, this is not part of a best dressed list by any means. But I also didn't think I could let this moment go unnoticed. Some of you UK residents might have watched 'The Devil Wears Prada' last night (or maybe I was the only loser who spent his saturday night like that). If not, I am sure none of you feel like I'm talking about some obscure film. Funny they should decide to play it on the weekend when Jennifer Love Hewitt chose her horrendous Paule Ka dress. And I say funny because it was almost identical to the red "James Holt" dress exclusively designed to Miranda and which causes the "pursing of the lips".

I'm off.

PS. I would have totally included Leighton Meester in SS11 Marc Jacobs if the pictures had been out by the time I started editing.

Unusual suspects

Jessica Biel's promotional tour for the A-Team has left me completely baffled. Not only she managed not to horrify us on a daily basis with her appearances outfits but she even looked fantastic two or three times. The clear winner was the red Giambattista Valli dress she wore for the London premiere (where else?) and that she accompanied with the wild hair trend Coco spotted a while ago. It was a beautiful and simple look but, for the first time with her, it had a bit of an edge thanks to the hair. During the time before and after the British premiere she was also seen in amazing outfits the likes of the Phillip Lim one below which proved she can look different but good. I am just hoping she keeps it up so we have to avoid more of her embarrassing red carpet moments.

It was precisely because of Biel's unexpected turn that I started wondering whether Eva Mendes would experience something similar. This morning she attended the Regis & Kelly show in a (Dior/de la Renta?) dress as part of a look that is one of the best things I've ever seen her wear. The sunglasses were to-die-for and the shoes totally spot-on. Like Biel, I have disliked Mendes' style for longer than I can remember, which is probably why I'd be so fascinated with her undergoing a Biel-type style makeover.
I'm off.

Miuccia (hearts) bows

Is it me or is W starting to look a bit more interesting now that Stefano Tonchi is sitting on the editor's chair? For the July issue they have chosen Eva Mendes, shot by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, in FW10 Miu Miu. Eva is not, by far, one of my favourite celebrities. In fact, there is something about her that I find a little annoying, but she does look amazing in this editorial (which you can see here). I love the fact that she makes it look exotic and apt for the summer and I like the fact that the dress is actually 'filled'. It's kind of refreshing to see curvaceous women wearing this amazing dresses.

Looking at the cover, it seems unavoidable to look at the massive (don't think badly) bow at the front. Suddenly I realised Miuccia had used this very rigid bow details not only in most of the FW10 Miu Miu collection but also in some of the FW10 Prada looks and most of the shoewear of that same line. There is something cartoony about Miu Miu's bows that makes me think they'll be a hit next season. After all, everyone loved the cats and birds splashed across the brand's SS10 shoes and pronounced neck lines.

Will you be wearing bows next winter?
I'm off.
