Marc Jacobs Resort 2013 face-off: Hailee Steinfeld vs. Anna Wintour

Three days ago for 'The Dark Knight Rises' premiere in LA Hailee Steinfeld chose to wear a sequinned Marc Jacobs number from his Cruise 2013 collection. It was, in fact, the same dress Anna Wintour wore to the CFDA awards a few weeks back.
Hailee went for a 'total look' including Jacobs' clog-like sandals and tube clutch accompanied with simple makeup and hair. Anna, on the other hand, added her signature Manolo Blahnik sling-backs and jewelled necklace. She also added a skinny red belt. I personally find Anna's take a lot more feminine and effortless. What do you think?

I was a bit confused this morning when I first saw the LOVE cover featuring Hailee Steinfeld. I thought the three covers LOVE were planning to release included this one.

For the first time since LOVE started business I will actually have a hard time choosing a cover over the others. I think Hailee's is my favourite. I love the green background and the styling, especially the bejewelled cuffs. The three covers together remind me a little of "The Virgin Suicides". I really hope Katie Grand has taken that kind of direction for the shoots inside.

I can't wait for Monday to get my hands on a copy!

It seems the May issue of American Vogue is full of fashion jewels. If Reese Witherspoon's beautiful editorial by Peter Lindbergh wasn't enough, Anna also decided to include an even more stunning story by Bruce Weber.

The concept for the shoot is supposed to be Natalia posing with all these Hollywood young talent. To be honest, no one really caught my attention apart from Chloë Morezt, Hailee Steinfeld and Elle Fanning posing with Natalia, in Oscar de la Renta, before bedtime. And that's what makes Bruce Weber so great. He's got the cinematic quality of Annie Leibovitz but he tells his stories in a more documentary glossy way.

I couldn't find a styling credit anywhere. Wouldn't it be great if Anna herself had done it? After all, Natalia is wearing her Balenciaga Pre-Fall dress in one of the pictures.

Best dressed of the weekend: BAFTAs

I was originally planning a bigger BAFTAs edition of the 'Best dressed of the week post' but most attendees didn't try very hard. Emma Watson, in Valentino, looked slightly off with a very old hair style that didn't do her any good. Emma Stone, in that Lanvin Karlie wore, was on the right track but there was a something missing. And everyone else, except Tilda Swinton in Haider Ackermann, looked either too plain, too slutty or too dressed. Apart from these three ladies below, that is.

Julianne Moore made up from her bad GG look by looking ravishing in a cobalt blue velvet Tom Ford (?). The wavy tied-back hair and the red lips and light makeup were as perfect as the subtle diamond jewellery. Just wait for her Oscars look.

Hailee Steinfeld has been on endless blogs over the last few weeks. Her previous Miu Miu and Prada looks have proved that she knows how to be fashion-forward while staying age-appropriate. Her Miu Miu choice for the BAFTAs was a great evening choice both as a dress and as jewellery, as it needed none. I'd love Hailee to be in a film with Elle Fanning. Think of those press tours...

I was completely oblivious of the fact that Jessica Alba was attending this year's ceremony. She donned one of my favourite SS11 Versace Atelier gowns (from that post where I said how much I'd love Christina Hendricks to wear it that I then had to take down because the pictures had been leaked) and, being completely objective, she outshone all the Brits. Her choice of hair and jewellery perfectly complemented the gown and, well, it's Jessica Alba, she'd look good in a bin bag.

I'm off.
