Kate Hudson shuts it down at the Venice Film Festival

I have never thought of Kate Hudson as a particularly fashionable celebrity. She rarely dresses up to go out and hang out with her kids. She also usually looks quite cool in her slightly wacky laid back outfits. In other words, I am a fan of her naturalness.

I guess that is the reason why she really makes an effort and gets dressed for an event I am often quite blown away. Such is the case of her appearance at the Venice Biennale yesterday. Venice, like Cannes, is one of those times when we're treated to a double dose of fashion every day as stars also do day appearances.

For her morning event, Kate went for a Gucci Resort look that had Rachel Zoe written all over it! Not a lot of people can rock a flared trouser but Kate is one of them. I love how hip she looks in the suit and the sort of military vibe that the khaki top introduces. Not to mention her hair looks amazing here.

For the evening, Kate slipped into a super sexy Atelier Versace number. I am usually not a huge fan of skin/nude tones on gowns because they can wash out on the wearer but this looks incredible on Kate. Not to mention the beautiful silhouette it creates. Hair, makeup and accessories are spot on. All thanks to Zoe, no doubt.

Best Dressed of the Weekend: The Evening Looks
JustJared

After thinking about it all day yesterday I eventually decided to go for two posts today. It was too hard to cut down the best looks from this   to only three or four. And so I have divided them into day and evening wear. I wanted to start with the latter because three out of four looks are from this weekend's White House Correspondent's Dinner in Washington DC. Had you not known what was going on you might have thought it was the Golden Globes!
Reese Witherspoon, in a stunning Monique Lhuillier, looked more beautiful than ever. I love it when she goes classic because she adds this Southern flair of hers giving the look some old-fashioned glamour. The neckline of the dress was interesting enough for it not to be boring and the turquoise earrings were the perfect touch and they brought out her eyes!
Kate Hudson (actually, Rachel Zoe) went for an amazing purple sequinned Jenny Packham dress. It was totally full-lenth, with a three-quarter sleeve and a slightly open neckline – extremely chic! It was an elegant yet distinctive look for an evening like that. The big chignon was also a great call. I love a woman with her hair up.
Malin Akerman, of whose style I can't say much, also looked incredible in a dress yet to be ID-ed vintage Odicini Couture dress . It was a risky choice of dress because it's hard to find the right length when the hemline goes below the knees but doesn't reach the floor. The front slit, which I loved, helped a lot. As did the wedges she wore with the dress. I just wish a had a cross-legged shot – this dress is screaming for one.
Chloë Moretz wasn't at the White House but I lover her choice of dress. She wore FW12 Kenzo and a pair of my favourite Jimmy Choo sandals, which my sister has as well (funny, no?). I always really like Chloë because she's one of the few teenage celebrities who looks cool and experiments wearing different things but is always age-appropriate. This gets a top grade.

Collage Sunday, 22.01.11

Last Monday, after the Golden Globes, Iñaki and I were talking about how Rachel Zoe's girls always look a lot more bananas on the red carpet than the rest and how it was a shame no one even mentioned her name during the event. So I thought selected some of her best moments. I tried not to go for the obvious but looks like Zoe Saldana in Givenchy Couture still make me die, so I couldn't skip it. Making the collage I realised Rachel always puts her girls in colours (I mostly only wear white, pink and black) and designs I would have also picked (ruffles, bows sequins and feathers). What are your favourite Zoe moments?

- Have a lovely Sunday!

Best of The Rachel Zoe Project S3E05

I really don't know why I don't do more episode recaps on soVIPzone. It's such a fun thing to do to dissect them and share my favourite moments. I have just finished the last Rachel Zoe Project ( a bit late, I know) episode and, personally, it's been the best so far. These are the reasons why I absolutely loved it.

1. Rachel wearing a hat inside her London hotel room while sharing a coffee with Kate Hudson. If London is too dark to wear sunglasses indoors, what do you do? Wear a hat. There is also something a bit Lady Gaga about this moment.

2. Rachel is very right when she says Kate Hudson is a true free spirit and that she has great energy! (And, man, she can sing!) I love the woman. Not a complaint and she looks just as great with no make up on as she does in Burberry. I particularly liked the 'visual holiday' moment with the Condé Nast Traveller and the DVF dress. What the hell was a summer dress doing there anyway?

3. This was a more personal moment. The 87 was the bus that took me from central London to my first flat in the city. I feel like Rachel wanted me to share the moment with them and specifically asked for that moment to be in the show.

4. Yes, Rach does look great in the vintage cropped fur coat. And, yes, I love bows as much as the next person. But I don't get why this moment was a 'DIE' one. She looks a bit like a suffocating blonde bunny.

5. The visit to casa Missoni was the confirmation that both Angela and Margheritta Missoni are not only lovely people but very natural and chilled. I also love the fact that they're both dressed so casually yet looking very stylish. Oh, and of course Rachel was in paradise. I mean, the woman has a Missoni bedspread!

6. Rachel walking around the Missoni showroom in three layers of their FW10 collection and wearing bananas mirror sunglasses. All very Anna dello Russo. And please notice how absolutely ecstatic Rachel is!

7. Brad meets Donatella. "She's a gay icon. She's the Maddonna of fashion". What I was wondering then was wether she noticed the big 'D' on Brad's chest and whether he made this particular fashion choice on purpose. Maybe he learnt from the Ralph Lauren incident at Oscar de la Renta?

8. The very awkward moment between rachel and Julianne Moore was priceless. R- "This is so your year", J- "I love birds" was followed by Rachel asking what Julianne was wearing for the Oscars. To which she replied Calvin Klein. And then Zoe tries a template compliment while she mentally goes "shit, shit, shit".

Are you watching this season of The Rachel Zoe Project?
I'm off.

PS. If the text was atrocious. Apologies. Somehow, I am super tired today!

American heroines

To be quite honest, this post was not what I had in mind when I started preparing it. I was trying to come up for a good reason to put Kate Hudson, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jessica Alba together since they have been glowing in their stylish ensembles during the Tribeca Film Festival.

I tried to come up with a witty reason to explain why 'fantastic three' sounded better than 'fantastic four' but I didn't. So I somehow started to picture them as superheroes. Hudson's Louis Vuitton cape/poncho reminded me of the black wings of Hawkgirl and Jessica Alba has that sort of shy sexiness just like Jane Grey (and shiny dress with pleated skirt, hello?). Even though Gwyneth's outfit seems more ordinary I can picture her as the confident Wonder Woman who wears short shorts and always looks awesome.

I'm off.
