Best Dressed of the Weekend: Salmon & Purple
JustJared

This has been a great weekend for celebrity style because of the different galas, awards and premieres taking place in the States.
My absolute winner this week is Charlize Theron in Lanvin. I adore this LBD of very simple lines and how the slight volume of the shoulders and the cut-out detail a la side-slit make it super modernand terribly chic. It was a perfect choice for Theron's style.
Nicole Richie in Antonio Berardi is one of the best looks I have seen her in over the last few years. The powder pink palette really complements her skin tone and hair and I love the fact that she's not wearing a dress but it feels super dressed up but it still has that touch of rock and roll. And I loved the rings!
Mila Kunis in Prabal Gurung was obviously a hit. She has such great flair and her attitude and Prabal's SS12 collection seem to go well together. Plus, you know how much I loved every single piece. It's so nice to see one of he simpler ones out and about.
It seems like it's a double hit this week for London designers. Emily Blunt looked stunning in a salmon Marios Schwab dress. He is another of my favourite designers and I just love how a simple silhouette can become so modern, different and chic.

After a slightly boring episode the week before, Gossip Girl added a little of much needed drama into episode 3. Serena was, again, my best dressed this week. Her look went along the same line as last week's, which I loved, but this time it was a bit more city-appropriate. I loved the Oscar de la Renta cuff that matches the earrings from last week and Charlotte Olympia 'Dolly' pumps in a citrus green. Unfortunately, this was the only look we saw from her this week. Since when does Serena van der Woodsen pass on a fashion show and party invitation?
Jenny Packham's fashion show and party was another nice surprise. The deisgner has been a regular to Gossip Girl in the past. In fact, Blair and the Duchess of Cambridge have both worn the same dress! Perhaps that's why after her SS12 collection Style.com finally decided to add her to the list of designers displayed on the website.

I loved Liz Hurley in the white Marios Schwab dress this week. It was body-con enough for her but the design and the detail across the top made it kind of interesting for her, it just felt modern. (Sometimes I sound like Nina Garcia, no?)

Blair has gone back to her old boring dressing habits a little... Though I must say I am still loving her attitude. The way she carries herself this season is different, like she suddenly feels super cool.
My favourite look form her in this episode had to be the lovely Louis Vuitton number from the Resort 2011 collection. The flower print and the bow at the waist scream Blair Waldorf and the bustier top adds a touch of sexiness. She also wore well the Jenny Packham but the evening look didn't feel as special this time...
On another note, I am not convinced that the prince is the father. It's GOT TO be Chuck, otherwise the show is doomed! How amazing would a baby of theirs look in a little bowtie?!

London Highlights

London fashion week seemed like a reaction to NYFW. New York was pleasing and the renowned names delivered but American fashion tends to be rather homogeneous. London is anything but. For FW10 many designers chose to morph their signature styles into unaccustomed looks that resulted in very a refreshing variety (Note how Matthew Williamson refrained from making glitzy garments). soVIPzone's favourites (Antonio Berardi, Marios Schwab and Christopher Kane) were far from disappointing. My legs still wobble at the sinuous lines of Schwab and Giulia is still gasping for air after Berardi's peek-a-boo lace and Kane's embroidered leather. Peter Pilotto surprised me, there is something commercial yet fascinating about his clothes and the way he uses fabric. I was baffled by how much I enjoyed Holly Fulton's pop-art-deco prints. I'm not a big graphic print fan, you see. Who were your favourites?
