July 2011 – If I Was A Stylist

Teen Choice Awards Dress Picks: B-C

The Gossip Girl Actress is known for her sexy style and ultimately sticking to brands like Marchesa,Versace, and Chanel; but every once in a blue moon she will call on Lanvin which is why I picked this mini for her. I love the detail on the left side and the way that the dress is structured. Blake is also 100% dedicated to the Christian Louboutin shoe brand so no matter what dress she wears you are guaranteed that she is wearing the famous red soles on her feet which is why I would pair this dress with a pair of gold studded Very Mix peep toe pumps.

Since the supermodel has become an actress in the film Just Go With It she has really disappointed on the red carpet. I would love her to wear this Benhaz Sarafpur Resort 2012 dress with a pair of blue and white strappy Diane Von Furstenberg Spring 2011 sandals.

Cameron Diaz has also been really letting me down on the red carpet. I still have yet to see Cameron in Elie Saab after she attended his Spring 2011 Couture fashion show except for the dress she wore to the after party. This blue mini dress shows off Cameron’s best and favorite asset her legs but looks sophisticated at the same time. I know she wont wow in the shoe department probably wearing her favorite Casadei pointy toe pumps in black that she is wearing in the picture on the left.

I think that the Californication and Entourage star would looks simple and elegant yet stunning in the fire engine red Naeem Khan backless Resort 2012 number. I would just pair this dress with a pair of nude Christian Louboutin Peed toes or nude Jimmy Choo Sandals.

Carrie is a HUGE fan of Georges Chakra and has worn his designs on numerous occasions (the white dress in the reference images is by him). This Spring 2011 Couture cocktail dress has a long tulle train that comes off of that orange tulle mass. I would recommend that she removes the train but keeps the mass as it adds an amazing detail to the stunning couture dress. Carrie also loves Rene Caovilla shoes and should wear a pair of their crystal encrusted gold strappy sandals to complete her look.

Teen Choice Awards Celebirty Dress Picks: The A’s

Angelina wears black extremely well but most of the time the black she picks is boring so that is why I have picked this Marchesa Fall 2011 dress with a peplum hip and a lot of interesting details. I would want her to have the dress made strapless and wear some killer Nicholas Kirkwood heels to add the perfect pop of color.

Anna Farris has a quirky personality and this white feather Versace Fall 2011 RTW cocktail dress would accentuate that perfectly. I would pair a pair of lime Christian Louboutin sandals would also provide the perfect pop of color to the quirky dress.

Anna Paquin is a HUGE Alexander McQueen fan and so I choose this black dress from the Fall 2011 RTW collection. I of course would not pair the dress with the leather leggings, gloves, or the collar. The dress is such a statement I would just pair it with simple black pumps, possibly these ones from Salvatore Ferragamo.

Ashley Greene looks amazing in bright colors which is why I picked this extremely dramatic Lela Rose Resort 2012 dress. I would pair the dress with matching shoes by Ashley’s favorite shoe designer Brian Atwood.

Frieda Pinto for the “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” LA Premiere

Frieda has not really been on the red carpet scene since awards season 2009 where she was nominated for her role in the Academy Award winning film, “Slumdog Millionaire.” Frieda is now gearing up for the press tour of her new film “Rise of the Planet of the Apes,” while promoting this film I am almost positive that Frieda will wear Chanel because she has been in a love affair with them for a while now. The Chanel dress that I have chosen for her for the LA premiere of the film is from the Fall 2009 Couture collection. This has to be one of my favorite dresses ever, as it is the background on my iPhone. This is one of those cases where you can see the couture craftsmanship through the photograph. I paired this look with simple blue accessories: a Judith Leiber clutch and a pair of Pierre Hardy pumps. I might be ok with her wearing a pair of simple diamond studs in her ears but no other jewelry because this dress shines all on its own.

Anne Hathaway for the Teen Choice Awards

Anne Hathaway is nominated for her voice which she lent to the movie “RIO.” Anne always look sophisticated which is why I choose this white Alexander McQueen Fall 2011 RTW dress that I would have hemmed to be just above the knee. For color I choose a Nancy Gonzalez purple clutch and purple strappy Roger Vivier shoes.

Emma Watson for the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 2 New York Premiere

You have to be impeccably dressed to be noticed in NYC, believe me I’ve been on numerous occasions, so for the New York premiere of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 2” I choose this hot off the runway silver metallic rise fall hem Christopher Kane Resort 2012 dress that I felt needed a silver jeweled Judith Leiber belt, pink and purple Judith Leiber bag, Christian Louboutin pumps, and a Neil Lane diamond cuff.

Weekly Salute to Stylists

The best dressed this week for me was Hilary Swank who stepped out in this stunning scarlet Elie Saab custom couture gown for the 2011 International Indian Film Academy Awards. BREATHTAKING Beyonce stepped onto the stage to perform at the 2011 Glastonbury Festival in England this week and dazzled wearing this Alexandre Vauthier Fall 2010 Couture dress that was worn more as a top paired with Giuseppe Zanotti shoes.The most consistently best dressed star of the week was Rosie Huntington-Whiteley who is making her acting debut in “Transformers: Dark of the Moon,” which she has been extremely busy promoting. The Victoria’s Secret model didn’t have a miss step all week. Going from left to right for the New York premiere of the film Rosie wore an Antonio Berardi Fall 2011 RTW gown paired with Christian Louboutin pumps, for the London Premiere After-Party Rosie choose a Burberry Resort 2012 dress paired with a Salvatore Ferragamo clutch and Alaia shoes, at the Berlin premiere Rosie selected a completely crystal encrusted Naeem Khan Fall 2011 RTW gown, for the London premiere Burberry custom designed this stunningly simple blue number, and finally for an appearance on “Live With Regis & Kelly” Rosie wore a The Row Spring 2011 ensamble that she paired with her favorite Christian Louboutin pumps.

It has been a great week fashion wise and I will miss when the “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” press tour is over because Rosie will go back into hiding until she bares all again this December for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Maybe she will make an appearance during awards season. I would just die!

Michelle Obama for the Fourth of July

The Fourth of July also known as Americas Birthday is a special occasion here in the USA. As the First Lady and wife of the President, Michelle Obama, has the obligation to make some sort of appearance on the date. I have styled two looks for her one a more casual and one for a gala event. For a causal appearance I choose a red and white gingham print Z Spoke by Zac Posen Resort 2012 dress that I paired with an Alexander McQueen Spring 2008 RTW belt, Alexandre Birman pumps, and Stella & Dot earrings. For a formal appearance I choose this stunningly draped Donna Karan Resort 2012 gown paired with a blue VBH clutch, blue strappy Manolo Blahnik sandals, and Harry Winston diamond and ruby jewelry.

Oliva Wlide for Aliens & Cowboys LA Premiere

Olivia Wilde i am sure is starting to think about her up coming “Aliens & Cowboys” press tour which will be kicked off by a glamorous red carpet premiere in LA. Olivia used to wow me on the red carpet making amazing choices but recently has been in a sea of black, which is why I chose for her this simple yet extremely colorful Monique Lhuillier Resort 2011 gown that is paired with a Fendi rose clutch and silver Cesare Paciotti sandals. To add a little sparkle to the look I gave Olivia those stunning white and pink diamond Graff earrings.
