Best Dressed of the Weekend: Stella McCartney steals the show

Even though Coachella kicked off this weekend I am not impressed so far with anyone's outfits – least of all Kate Bosworth's, who got it so wrong in a pair of wellies.

Gratefully, Dree Hemingway made an appearance at the Mulberry party to save the day looking absolutely awesome in a Dolce & Gabbana number that, despite what it might sound like, was as apt as it gets for a festival like this. It would have just been perfect for her to wear this to a Red Hot Chilli Peppers' concert, no? (I know, I'm too funny).

Meanwhile, back in LA Paul McCartney threw a party to celebrate the launch of his latest music video and, of course, everyone wore Stella to the event.

Gwen Stefani is probably my favourite. I loved her look of a sort of merged together tuxedo trousers, corset top and a peplum detail. Never a see-through outfit was so classy and cool. Simply fabulous.

Miranda Kerr was also amongst the most stylish attendees. She went for one of the SS12 McCartney dresses that have been so popular already but she chose a black version. I just love this because being monocolour makes the details of the different textures a lot more subtle and the mesh really stands out. It was a simple killer look!

keeping warm

It is an art to look good and keep yourself warm outdoors. Luckily, there are some celebrities that have their mojo working over the holidays. Such is the case of Cate Blanchett and Gwen Stefani. I already crowned Cate one of the style icons of the noughties and she keeps proving that true class and style are innate. Gwen gave a master class in layering with two of my favourite winter pieces —the cape and the trilby.
Guys are having their moments as well. David Beckham dumps his airport look of baggy jeans and beanie and swaps them for stylish sartorial coats and trench coats and flat hats. And Hayden gives Californian dudes a lesson. I love how the grandpa cardigan looks just thrown on but add the perfect cosy winter touch.

rip & wash

It might seem like the easiest thing to do but I am sure many of you will nod in agreement when I say finding the perfect ripped jeans is not easy at all. Whether it is the awkwardness in placing, the surplus in number or the excess in size finding a pair of ripped denim trousers might take a lifetime. I found my perfect pair when I was about sixteen —straight jeans that added an edge to anything. Ever since then nothing even close to tolerable jeans came my way. I am still looking as of yet.

Now, finding bleached or acid washed denim is an easier task altogether. I came across my suitable pair at the easiest place, American Apparel. The slightly bleached blue jeans. But you girls in search for a pair of those have a wider range to choose from. Have a look.

LiLo combines both trends but goes for a whiter version —bleached jeans. Clockwise from the left, my choice: the mineral wash from American Apparel, and two very bleached versions by TopShop.
