The dress fits her impeccably. Natasha kept her hair in a tousled styled and she glamed up with red haute lipstick and nails.</span><div><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>2.</b> Spanish actress <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Blanca Suarez</span></b> was pictured in the same sheer panel dress in November 2012 at a GQ event in Madrid.

Her dress was fully lined, in the wrong shade it seems. Coco went for vintage 20's waves and a bright red lip.</span></div><br /><div><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>4.</b> On the runway, Polish model <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Magdalena Frackowiak</span></b> wore the gown at the Emilio Pucci Fall/Winter 2012 show.

Perhaps I am a little biased, but Natasha Poly looks sensational in everything, although I would have liked to see her with Blanca or Magdalena's braided hairstyle, and not unruly waves with such a glamourous gown. <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><i>What are your thoughts?</i></span></b></span></div><br /><div><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><i><br /></i></span></b></span></div><br /></div><br />

Who Wore It Better - Awards Show Edition

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Who Wore Black Better?</b></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Awards Season 2013</b></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are only a week into awards season and already there are three fashion face-offs to rate and review. Interestingly enough, all three of these are looks are in black, with two of them designed by <i>Emilio Pucci</i>. Either the stylists didn't look back into the red carpet archives or perhaps they felt these dresses needed to be reinvented. You decide...</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Round One</span></b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqMmQBUvATtuQuCKpJY_T46QiDRSR99V6iBNJgFjlYqmF8rJbp2OLLL1B3lIoGUT_JLjHZp3E4f3aILyaB4ST5_jO-WLDu0z-ZTdcV15VfV37Qlx6V5pjc3j75Y7KPPRSJRXqWHPtWe0a1/s1600/wwib1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqMmQBUvATtuQuCKpJY_T46QiDRSR99V6iBNJgFjlYqmF8rJbp2OLLL1B3lIoGUT_JLjHZp3E4f3aILyaB4ST5_jO-WLDu0z-ZTdcV15VfV37Qlx6V5pjc3j75Y7KPPRSJRXqWHPtWe0a1/s640/wwib1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Stunning supermodel <b>Natasha Poly</b> was the first to debut this <i>Emilio Pucci</i> gown on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival last year in May. Natasha had her dress adapted to include a longer-length train. She styled her look with a skinny leather belt, <i>Louboutin</i> heels, a side-tied fishtail braid and smouldering smokey eyes.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Best Actress nominee <b>Naomi Watts</b> wore the Resort 2013 dress to the Critic's Choice Awards last week, on 10 January 2012.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> The strapless black column gown features a sheer V-insert on the bodice. Naomi wore side-swept waves and a smokey eye, and accessorized with green and blue drop earrings and a sparkly <i>Edie Parker</i> clutch.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the <i>Emilio Pucci</i> Resort 2013 Lookbook, model <b>Jourdan Dunn</b> is pictured in the dress with a casually styled black jacket and flat sandals.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">The Verdict:</span></b> My vote very easily goes to Natasha Poly, I love the added fabric to the skirt, and the belt adds more definition to her waist, I was also lured in by the charming side-braid. </span><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Round Two</b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhomLAHuNFLv5LfQaHhaBqw_5JMeJIJwvj_gJWnbR95gzwTzQXL77jFJ_GA8LStnewHnFO80TuNroT22fhyHWvaEAPkns-OtzNkNTZ5Qhz52DOBM2JzIlbXsBHT5cY1NLEhnGXeiM6N8eM/s1600/wwib2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhomLAHuNFLv5LfQaHhaBqw_5JMeJIJwvj_gJWnbR95gzwTzQXL77jFJ_GA8LStnewHnFO80TuNroT22fhyHWvaEAPkns-OtzNkNTZ5Qhz52DOBM2JzIlbXsBHT5cY1NLEhnGXeiM6N8eM/s640/wwib2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Leslie Mann</b> first wore this knee-length <i>Emilio Pucci</i> dress to a Governor's Awards ceremony in December 2012. The 'This is 40' actress paired her dress with a bronze pair of <i>Rupert Sanderson</i> heels and a metallic clutch. Her hair was tightly pulled back with minimal make-up.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Amber Valletta</b> made an appearance at a pre-Golden Globes party in LA wearing the same dress this past weekend. The sultry frock features sheer long-sleeves and side cut-outs, as well as a sheer halter neck panel and front-slit. Amber kept things simple with plain black pointy-toe pumps. Uncombed locks and red lips complete her look.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the Fall 2013 runway, <b>Lindsay Wixon</b> modeled the enticing black dress for <i>Emilio Pucci, </i>with a bejeweled hairband and matching heels.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">The Verdict:</span></b> I am going with Lindsay Wixon on this one, I much prefer the wavy locks & styling on the runway. I found Leslie's guise too severe & Amber's tousled hairstyle too casual.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Round Three</b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6g48mCw8L1Fk_vDf-9TYoRwch12xRdF3MRMc84ykpPseu7za9nL5v-PJMVoG-QriCp56mBVUQFe3jkwuJlmenXM3jemGz7ufW04NLelhKLsEGR9w21iGsIQgSx4FG6adtlMzXIiZFxWXj/s1600/wwib4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6g48mCw8L1Fk_vDf-9TYoRwch12xRdF3MRMc84ykpPseu7za9nL5v-PJMVoG-QriCp56mBVUQFe3jkwuJlmenXM3jemGz7ufW04NLelhKLsEGR9w21iGsIQgSx4FG6adtlMzXIiZFxWXj/s640/wwib4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Former Bond Girl <b>Olga Kurylenko</b> stunned at this year's Golden Globe Awards in a lace and taffeta dress by <i>Dolce & Gabbana</i>. Her gown has a fitted bodice with lace frill laid over a folded mermaid skirt. Olga had her hair tied up in a voluminous bun, with simple makeup.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Two months earlier, <b>Olivia Wilde</b> wore the attractive charcoal gown with scalloped strapless neck to a museum gala event in New York. Olivia carried a <i>Cartier </i>clutch, her hair was also elegantly worn up and her makeup was bolder with strongly lined eyes.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the <i>Dolce & Gabbana</i> Evening 2013 Lookbook, the black gown is similarly styled with pulled-up hair, a black clutch bag and drop diamond earrings.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">The Verdict:</span></b> As ravishing as both ladies look, I like Olga most in the dress, I find the fit most flattering on her.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The exciting Awards Season is upon us again, and for the next two months we can look forward to seeing gorgeous designer gowns styled on the red carpet. I've picked out my own wishlist of evening dresses I would like to see on Hollywood's most glamourous stars this season. </span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Jewel Tones</span></b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxrPCaHLJ5nlkRGYWO97QcMyVUOcmq8MSh1mhV7kadk4bMObFDvpd1F8nvGq5eY9Dp2ddywnx93LvnrJV7_z7X7c4wBRtxy89AMk5nmELmQpfxEuqgYI1lEP0JrjZWVMVfY94FE2k95gs3/s1600/rc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="378" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxrPCaHLJ5nlkRGYWO97QcMyVUOcmq8MSh1mhV7kadk4bMObFDvpd1F8nvGq5eY9Dp2ddywnx93LvnrJV7_z7X7c4wBRtxy89AMk5nmELmQpfxEuqgYI1lEP0JrjZWVMVfY94FE2k95gs3/s640/rc.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As <i>Pantone's</i> colour of the year is emerald green, I thought this <i>Zuhair Murad</i> gown fell into the trend beautifully, for someone like Angelina Jolie or Jessica Chastain. The burgundy chiffon tiered <i>Marchesa</i> dress has an exotic Eastern flair, maybe brand fans Blake Lively or Jenna Dewan will try it on. I would love to see Emma Stone rock the sapphire blue <i>Elie Saab</i> gown, with her blonde hair. Katy Perry has already proved she wears <i>Naeem Khan</i> with ease. Emmy Rossum would be my pick for the ruby <i>Zuhair Murad</i> gown.</span></div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>All Black</b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDrBdwTJhSXtwgVMvtvzdkckeBtbZ4t3PJuxcD-IB9bUCWX_X0Xrs1Upm5TITjH9ebDfdJP8_slJ3VaBugiU4RhsEXueYtSFc5An1pT97TVySYRTYSOJ5iJRvgXwku0p0uzWGEErhajxwt/s1600/rc2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="378" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDrBdwTJhSXtwgVMvtvzdkckeBtbZ4t3PJuxcD-IB9bUCWX_X0Xrs1Upm5TITjH9ebDfdJP8_slJ3VaBugiU4RhsEXueYtSFc5An1pT97TVySYRTYSOJ5iJRvgXwku0p0uzWGEErhajxwt/s640/rc2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Black gowns are always a permanent fixture on the red carpet and these 5 looks are my favourites from the Fall 2013 collections. The <i>Issa</i> gown would look fantastic on just about anyone. The black embellished <i>Elie Saab</i> for Charlize Theron or Florence Welch. I'd like to see Olivia Wilde or Gwyneth Paltrow in the <i>Badgley Mischka</i>, hair up. Kristen Stewart or Gwen Stefani<i> </i>would bring the edge and attitude needed to the one-shouldered <i>Lanvin</i> suit.</span></div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Princess Dresses</b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid9zNgXVdNWHD4BTFIWTnVrZ6zFcDGf8DOGbjTwR5sQ3yF5vjDuWxWaHeHSozr7RPYO4nEPv1pNq54TAG0C_o4DdykhWm4pcG1W6HjP8H10b6FJyWEneDKm8m2luozc_6QgWfAscdZlDgj/s1600/rc3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="378" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid9zNgXVdNWHD4BTFIWTnVrZ6zFcDGf8DOGbjTwR5sQ3yF5vjDuWxWaHeHSozr7RPYO4nEPv1pNq54TAG0C_o4DdykhWm4pcG1W6HjP8H10b6FJyWEneDKm8m2luozc_6QgWfAscdZlDgj/s640/rc3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Because every red carpet needs a princess dress. I'd pick the first dress for Kaley Cuoco, Zooey Deschanel or Naomi Watts. The <i>Monique Lhuillier</i> gown reminded me of Taylor Swift's style - all things glittery & girly. The sky blue <i>Georges Hobeika</i> gown has been worn before but I think it requires a far bigger red carpet moment, it's my favourite dress of F/W 2012 couture week. Carrie Underwood and Julianne Hough may find it appealing to their feminine style. I loved the romance of the ombre watercolour printed <i>Zac Posen</i> gown.</span></div><br /><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Brights</span></b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic7Zb0fJNHtqSh9SVeiH_YAHtOsUE2BVQsB-94QHclb2bzfS7PnAO2hQhodDwKRY0CgES-Bx6vtvH6alj3ysMuvfrxX1acCXyjazMcOX2ia5939o_ORzbtWL_X4_-5m1zuzMk-nTeDTblz/s1600/rc4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic7Zb0fJNHtqSh9SVeiH_YAHtOsUE2BVQsB-94QHclb2bzfS7PnAO2hQhodDwKRY0CgES-Bx6vtvH6alj3ysMuvfrxX1acCXyjazMcOX2ia5939o_ORzbtWL_X4_-5m1zuzMk-nTeDTblz/s640/rc4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For a vivid splash of colour on the red carpet...I loved the electric orange hue of the <i>Carolina Herrera</i> gown. Julie Bowen and Ginnifer Goodwin wear this colour well.</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I liked the the green satin sheen, turquoise waistband and beaded heels of the <i>Carlos Miele</i> look. The acid green DVF dress would be a definite stand out look with it's fluorescent hue. I'm leaving this one to Solange and anyone in the Glee Club. The aquamarine <i>Zac Posen</i> mermaid gown and apricot <i>Oscar de la Renta</i> dress were made for Sofia Vergara, Reese Witherspoon and Emily Blunt. </span></div><br /><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Pastel Romance</span></b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLwpXxk33PK6b3rIkDYT8ya_X8_DRujKzVjJcUcj3Ar-x5djwkVOIR_M8UwMf5YlYp8p8LnH2DjD_CGGo0yl-cqqP_OD4cqFttFcwegrUDRMeRhZmkSfuYBs6JlYUmR5cDQkccPokRRR7N/s1600/rc5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="378" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLwpXxk33PK6b3rIkDYT8ya_X8_DRujKzVjJcUcj3Ar-x5djwkVOIR_M8UwMf5YlYp8p8LnH2DjD_CGGo0yl-cqqP_OD4cqFttFcwegrUDRMeRhZmkSfuYBs6JlYUmR5cDQkccPokRRR7N/s640/rc5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Scarlett Johansson and Jayma Mays came to mind when I saw the pretty shell pink peplum dress by <i>Badgley Mischka</i>. This uber sexy <i>Versace</i> gown would suit the stylings of Jennifer Lopez, Heidi Klum or Alessandra Ambrosio. The lilac dream of a gown by <i>Georges Hobeika</i> would look lovely on a Kate Mara or Emilia Clarke. I'd love to see the gold and peach <i>Elie Saab</i> dress on Keira Knightley. The embellished drop-waist and floaty chiffon skirt of this ice grey <i>Jenny Packham</i> gown would look beautiful on Leighton Meester or Jessica Biel.</span></div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b> Navy Blues</b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSzGFCXBGd1oMbgX9X1Je7Yr8B3R_DWTAZhucy5Ne8heXpRsV6yfJR9WP1W3mzpXXuCDJ8q_zilGjK4ElDN5ub9zP-5A999tBHs8QalMJkYLTixM0ctKUXYpFZOvFIvwDNpkbQTqQXKN8x/s1600/rc6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="378" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSzGFCXBGd1oMbgX9X1Je7Yr8B3R_DWTAZhucy5Ne8heXpRsV6yfJR9WP1W3mzpXXuCDJ8q_zilGjK4ElDN5ub9zP-5A999tBHs8QalMJkYLTixM0ctKUXYpFZOvFIvwDNpkbQTqQXKN8x/s640/rc6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">An alternative to black, navy is a more subtle way to make an elegant entrance. The asymmetrical <i>Matthew Williamson</i> would be ideal for Amy Adams or Penelope Cruz. The dazzling <i>Jason Wu</i> seem to have Dakota Fanning's name stitched onto it. I'd like to see it on Jessica Alba. I thought of Kate Beckinsale or Ashley Greene in the navy lace <i>Monique Lhuillier.</i> I'd love to see Nina Dobrev in the beautiful chiffon snow specked <i>Carolina Herrera</i> gown.</span></div><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Wild Cards</b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7OeRD7y3UNuIhwhDllVLRXelStnFScm336sCXEJTqLh60LSo9BuDeB_wcVLCgfY_5NQ6qnEHwZ4u6WbUcMvNb0XjTG5NrOdG2seYd0rWsV9FYDWlr9sSHB3lls2hm5IflCnDhX2G8JEMg/s1600/rc7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="378" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7OeRD7y3UNuIhwhDllVLRXelStnFScm336sCXEJTqLh60LSo9BuDeB_wcVLCgfY_5NQ6qnEHwZ4u6WbUcMvNb0XjTG5NrOdG2seYd0rWsV9FYDWlr9sSHB3lls2hm5IflCnDhX2G8JEMg/s640/rc7.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> This set of looks are quite a risk, they could either go very well and be fashion forward, or they could be a disaster of Everest proportions. I've got the first gown pinned down for the avant-garde stylings of Sarah Jessica Parker. We've already seen that Cheryl Cole does <i>Stephane Rolland Couture</i> great justice, and I think she'd be stunning in the bordeoux gown. Fan Bing Bing also does these complex looks quite well. I can only picture Diane Kruger in the flush pink ruffled <i>Giambattista Valli </i>couture gown. The edgy <i>Saint Laurent</i> (minus oversized hat and gloves) could work for Zoe Saldana or Amber Heard. I adore the frivolity of the last elaborately frilled red look by <i>Giambattista Valli</i>. I think it would be more suited to the Cannes Film Festival...someone, anyone please wear it (and no, <u>not</u> you Lady Gaga).</span></div><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Pretty Pale</b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqCcWBMrsqryW2cXR-0PYwjjBX4zZ1L3_-vWT9nSvBmG5DpGzwvGr0z4NxYWPPbz6wg8IZBGY5ffDvbGqHwJg7t-RP4CHhpeXjUi7OsJxRnnRBnyZ97rINg3fbK9N-a3Ek2MDCU0FD-6ZQ/s1600/rc8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="378" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqCcWBMrsqryW2cXR-0PYwjjBX4zZ1L3_-vWT9nSvBmG5DpGzwvGr0z4NxYWPPbz6wg8IZBGY5ffDvbGqHwJg7t-RP4CHhpeXjUi7OsJxRnnRBnyZ97rINg3fbK9N-a3Ek2MDCU0FD-6ZQ/s640/rc8.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Blush or nude tone dresses have become a red carpet staple of late. The <i>Carlos Miele</i> cut-out dress for Mila Kunis, Selena Gomez or Kate Hudson. The exquisite embellished <i>Marchesa</i> gown may work for Michelle Williams' pixie style or Lily Collins. The silver fringed <i>Oscar de la Renta</i> make me think of Lea Michele, Vanessa Hudgens and Camilla Belle. I can imagine Nicole Kidman or Cate Blanchett wear the ivory fringed <i>Naeem Khan</i> gown. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bella Thorne or Elle Fanning could make the most of the frothy tulle </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">fairytale</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Tadashi Shoji</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">gown.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">Would you also like to see any of the evening gowns on the red carpet this awards season?
