CFDA/Vogue Fashion Awards

November 16th, 2011

I thought these ladies looked the best at the CFDA/Vogue award arrivals. Rooney Mara’s look was so striking. Matte black cherry lipstick, amazing brows, and spidery lashes were such a good look for her. Chloe Moretz had almost the tone down version of Mara’s look which was very age appropriate and suited her well. Olivia Wilde wore beautiful cat eyeliner, I do think she needed a bit more colour on her lips or cheeks to tie it all together better. Doutzen is just gorgeous always, even though her makeup wasn’t totally stand-out.

Jessica Stam looked the most fabulous! Love the slicked pony tail, the dark lip, the tux, Louboutins, and the long necklaces–it just all worked.

Look We Love: Elizabeth Olsen

October 21st, 2011

Another doe-eyed member of the Olsen family, actress Elizabeth is getting alot of attention recently, and not just for her “up and coming” status. Showing that style runs in the family, Elizabeth has been working some beautiful looks on and off the red carpet. Choosing classic looks that enhance her features in the make up department, while wearing cool modern outfits is working wonderfully for her.

MTV Movie Awards

June 6th, 2011

4 of the best looks from last nights MTV Movie awards were Leighton in Balmain with two-tone wavy hair. Blake in her blue body-con Michael Kors dress and sleek ponytail. Hailee Steinfeld looked more on trend than I’ve ever seen her at an awards show before. Her centre part and red lip looked so good on her. Rosie always looks beautiful with her signature pouty lips, and Dolce and Gabbana you really can’t go wrong.

Best Makeup and Style 2010

December 23rd, 2010


Throughout the year certain celebs caught our eye on the red carpet. These six stood out for both their makeup and style.

Lea Michele made her mark with the hit show Glee, and started to become a fave on the red carpet too. Often wearing neutral eyes and lips. When she goes for a bright lip it really makes a great statement.

Blake Lively never disappoints. She has everything going for her: good hair, pretty face, fab body. Throw her in anything and it looks good. Often seen in Chanel, one of her best moments was the grey and brown Lanvin number she wore. Topped off with super sleek hair, and terra-cotta lips. A winning look.

Drew may not have had as many shining moments on the red carpet this year. With the exception of the Golden Globes. What Drew has going for her is her fabulous hair. We love her two tone grunge look. Definitely one of the best colors of 2010.

Kim Kardashian upped her fashion game over the past year. Her stylist Monica Rose has been outfitting her in a lot of high end ensembles. Not one to wear minimal makeup and hair, my favorite looks on Kim are when she pulls it back a bit. I like her hair wavy instead of curls. When it comes to smokey eyes and light lips no one does it better.

Diane Kruger owns the classy look. She has more hits than misses when it comes to special events. Her neutral eyes and lip combo works, because often it’s the dress that stands out.

Although not making lots of appearances this year, Jessica Alba certainly made the most of the ones she did. Always flawless hair and makeup, and dresses that wow.

November 15th, 2010

TIFF 2010

September 15th, 2010


Toronto International Film Festival while not as full on glam as Cannes, still has it’s fair share of red carpet moments. All the girls look red carpet ready but my favourite’s are  Megan Fox with her scarlet lip, Natalie Portman’s smoky eyes, and Emma Stone’s peach cheeks.

2010 VMA’s

September 13th, 2010


Last night at the VMA’s these ladies each had a variation on the red carpet staple: smoky eye neutral lip. Ciara’s gold and bronze version on her eyes was perfectly suited with her skin tone and pinky beige lip colour. Ashley Greene wore a mauve grey eye and super neutral lip colour. While Emma Stone’s eyes were a cool steel grey, paired with a light rose pink lip. Combined with super groomed eyebrows, flawless skin and subtle shading under the cheekbones these 3 looked beautiful on the red carpet.

Teen Choice Awards

August 10th, 2010

Teen Choice Awards aired last night, and as usual young Hollywood was dressed to impress from Herve to Louboutin it’s nice to be young, rich, and fabulous! These four also had in common glowing skin, loads of lashes, and neutral lips.

The Girls of 90210

August 3rd, 2010


The girls of 90210 were all in attendance at the recent CW Summer Party. All looked red carpet ready-Jessica Stroup’s long lashes, Shenae Grime’s dark eyeliner, and Annalynne McCord’s peach lips. However, I think Jessica Lowndes stole the show. Everything from her effortless wavy hair, glowy cheeks, red lips, and the outfit-was a hit.

MTV Movie Awards 2010

June 7th, 2010


These ladies worked the red carpet last night at the MTV Movie Awards. Scarlett Johansson was best dressed in green Dolce and Gabbana. Her blonde waves, dark eyes and light lips made for the perfect red carpet package. Vanessa Hudgens opted for pale pink lips off setting her tanned skin nicely. Katy Perry let her hair be the focus of her look. If you were to ever wear a bright blue wig this is how it should look! Nicky Hilton’s side braid was very SS 10. Christina Aguilera’s tight coif and red lips were very dramatic, much like her performance on the show.

Cannes Film Festival 2010

May 17th, 2010

When it comes to film festivals and fashion, Cannes beats out all the other festivals hands down. Thanks to the favourable weather, and Cannes’ reputation for glamour celebs dress like they’re going to the Oscars. Kate Beckinsale wore  Marchesa at the Robin Hood premiere, and she looked amazing from head to toe. Red lips were quite popular worn by Salma Hayek, Naomi Watts, and Camilla Belle. Newly svelte Jennifer Hudson stuck to what she knows-metallic shadow and lots of lashes.

Oscars 2010

March 8th, 2010

The Academy Awards-the biggest night in Hollywood. Oscar winner Sandra Bullock looked quite beautiful wearing red lips, as did Charlize Theron. I also quite liked Zoe Saldana’s overall look. Her dress was very dramatic which worked well with her smoky eyes. What I like about Diane Kruger is that she always switches up her make up look. Last night she wore neutral eye make up with cool pink lips which nicely enhances her features. With some debate as to who had the best dress (For me Miley Cyrus and for Lisa Rachel McAdams) we both agreed Demi Moore looked lovely in Atelier Versace.

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen

February 23rd, 2010

London has been the place to be for the past few days. The BAFTA’s, Elle Style Awards, and London Fashion Week have meant an influx of American celebrities. My favourite twins we’re seen at a BAFTA event as well as at the Style Awards looking fashion forward as usual. Their huge blue eyes always stand out whether they’re wearing smoky eyes as seen on the left or neutral shadows like the picture on the right. What I always admire about these two is that they look effortlessly put together.

The 2010 Grammys

February 1st, 2010

The Grammys last night were a star studded event. So many fantastic moments on the red carpet, and on stage. We narrowed it down to five of the overall best. The one shoulder, feather dress worn by Lea Michele was adorable on her. She’s really turning into quite the red carpet show stopper. The low key, fresh faced look Ciara chose showed off her naturally pretty features. The glossy nude lip and sleek ponytail really worked. Always with the golden glow, smoky eyes, and nude lips-Jennifer Lopez. It must be said that she made our list based on her make up and hair, not the dress. Her dress was a mistake. Katy Perry was gorgeous in her backless number. The bright pink lip was an excellent choice. Beyonce looked stunning as usual. Loved the gold Armani Prive dress, and the blonde hair just looks so lovely with her skin tone. I also enjoyed her structured eye make up that enhanced he almond eyes. Plus she set a record by taking home 6 Grammys! A pretty spectacular evening for Mrs. Beyonce Knowles-Carter.

The 2010 SAG Awards

January 25th, 2010

Awards season continued on this weekend with the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Here are some of our best dressed girls of the evening: Diane Kruger looked stunning in gold floor length Jason Wu.  The red lip and subtle eye shadow was exactly the right combination. Lea Michele in emerald green Malandrino went for a matte nude lip with soft smoky eyes.  Drew Barrymore wearing Monique Lhuillier, looked retro with her bouffant blonde up do and pale glossy lips. Marion Cotillard-always the picture of Parisian sophistication wearing Elie Saab Couture, slicked hair and smoky eyes.

Alicia Keys and Fergie at the AMAs

November 24th, 2009

American Music Awards

On Sunday night at the American Music Awards, both Alicia Keys and Fergie had some major red carpet style. They shared a designer in common, both wearing Armani Prive gowns but their makeup looks were completely different. Alicia, who often wears colourful make up matched her eyeshadow to her dress. This is not usually my favourite way to do make up. I think it worked this time because the blue didn’t over take her entire eye, and the black eyeliner and lashes kept it looking modern. Fergie’s voluminous hair made a bigger statement than her make up. She’s really low key with her make up these days often wearing neutral eyeshadow, and pale peach lips. I actually really liked the contrast between her understated make up, and the hard rock dress, anything else would have been just too much.

2009 MTV EMAs

November 6th, 2009

2009 MTV EMAs

The 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards brought out quite a few familiar faces. Katy Perry and Leona Lewis looked picture perfect on the red carpet. Both ladies played up their eyes by wearing stacks of lashes, always a wise choice for instant glamour. I also enjoy the white eyeliner in Leona’s water line it makes her eyes appear big and bright.

2009 Hollywood Awards

October 30th, 2009

2009 Hollywood Awards

In Hollywood it seems like another day, another awards show. Kate Beckinsale and Diane Kruger looked effortlessly beautiful at the 2009 Hollywood Awards. Both actresses opted for a red carpet stand by — neutral coloured eyes with a subtle shimmer, and natural pink lips.

Whitney Museum Gala

October 22nd, 2009

Whitney Museum Gala

The Whitney Museum Gala brought out some very well put together ladies the other night. All of whom were dressed in Versace. Donatella was the hostess for the evening, and saw to it that everyone looked fabulous. Alexa Chung and Chanel Iman let their dresses stand out and opted for low key make up. Where as Jennifer Hudson and Taylor Momsen let their smoky eyes be the centre of attention. Shakira’s bouffant hair and peach lips were the perfect combo. Loved Mischa’s healthy glow and glossy hair. Versace is synonymous with glamour and each of these women represented that in their own way.
