Kristen Bell in Zuhair Murad at ‘House of Lies’ L.A. Premiere

Kristen Bell sparkled in a Zuhair Murad mini-dress at the Los Angeles screening of her new television show, “House of Lies.” The petite actress wore a sheer frock adorned with platinum beading, it looked great against her golden locks.

She accessorized with high heel MaryJanes with a metallic cap-toe. A pair of gold earrings were the only pieces of jewelry worn with this embellished look. The mixing of metals is always a win in my book.

I love that her smile is just as dazzling as her oufit. Her tangerine lip color was definitely a solid choice.

The 2011 Emmy Awards: Best Dressed

Nina Dobrev was perfection in Donna Karan last night at the 2011 Emmy Awards in Los Angeles.  This is what I call the ‘perfect fit.’

Emily Blunt was gorgeous in this navy Elie Saab gown.  The embellishment and plunging neckline were stunning.

Rashida Jones was a beauty in Alberta Ferretti.  She had me at first sight with that beautiful lilac pastel.  I loved the intricacy of the bodice and the romantic fall of the hem.

Minka Kelly was both sexy and reserved in Christian Dior, this is one of my favorite combinations.  The lace dress was feminine and modest with only hints of skin revealed.

Kerry Washington was a standout in this crimson Zuhair Murad dress.  The vibrant color and shimmering sequins caught my eye, but it was the sweetheart neckline and great fit that won me over.

Blake Lively debuted her strawberry blond hair on the red carpet in a Zuhair Murad couture design at the Time 100 gala.  She selected a teal chiffon gown with a crystal beaded bodice.  The floor length dress had a deep V-neckline and a beautiful draping in the skirt.  She wore minimal jewelry, allowing the embellished inset to take the lead.  Her newly colored hair was styled in soft and shiny waves.  Judging by the smile on her face, I’m inclined to ask, ’do red heads have more fun?’

Carrie Underwood attended the Soul Surfer premiere in Los Angeles in a Zuhair Murad design.  It was a nude dress with a black lace overlay.  The lower half had three layers and it boasted an attachment at the waistline.  She accessorized with a black pair of peeped-toe high-heeled pumps and a black clutch.  Her hair color was the perfect complement to the dress, and so was the neutral makeup.

Jennifer Lopez at Carousel of Hope Ball in George Chakra & Zuhair Murad

Jennifer Lopez was a wardrobe quick change artist at the Carousel of Hope Ball.  First she arrived in a beaded George Chakra gown, then changed into a metallic haute couture Zuhair Murad minidress for her on stage performance.  It was all about sparkle and embellishment this weekend for the star.  Her red carpet gown was a one-shoulder ivory dress with silver embellishment throughout and lovely sheer fabric from the thigh down.  The sheerness of the material balanced the beading on top, and gave the gown a modern touch.  Her performance dress was short and silver with peek-a-boo cut-outs and brilliant shine.  It was meant for the stage and showed-off her great legs.

The 2010 Emmys celebrated television at its finest last night in Los Angeles.  Stars from the small screen were acknowledged for their on-screen performances.  Here at Fashion Rollcall, we’ve analyzed and recognized them for their red carpet presentation.  Then we selected the top five best dressed ladies from this event.  At first blush, the line-up of these ladies appeared perfectly clear; that was until we started scrutinizng each look, from the draping, ruching, beading down to the dramatic trains.  Hair and make-up may have been the deciding factor in a few cases, yes, we did split hairs. 

Nina Dobrev was the best dressed, the nude color fabric had an iridescent shine that was a hit on impact.  She wore a Zuhair Murad one-shoulder dress with an up-to-there slit.  The bodice boasted peak-a-boo inserts.  This champagne colored gown looked exquisite against her perfectly tanned skin, and her hair and make-up were also flawless.

Tied for second were Lea Michele in Oscar de la Renta and Clair Danes in Armani Prive.  They both looked stunning, and brought glamour to the Emmys.  If this were Old Hollywood Lea would have been Rita Hayworth and Claire, the ultimate blond-bombshell, Marilyn Monroe.  The de la Renta gown was sophisticated without being too mature for the young actress.  It had a fabulous fit, especially around the bust and the tiny waist.  Then we have the Armani Prive which pretty much announced it was haute couture on arrival.  This strapless stunner sparkled with beading so luminous that only actress’ glowing skin and golden blond locks could rival it.

Kim Kardasian gave us all something to talk about in her grecian inspired Marchesa gown last night.  The dress had a gorgeous bejeweled neckline that was paired with a bracelet with a similar pattern.  It’s all in the details ladies.  This white number was a beautiful fit on the reality star; it was fitted up top, and skimmed her curves below. 

It is quite a coup to dress any of the lovely ladies of Mad Men, and Donna Karan won over Elisabeth Moss with a beautifully draped chiffon gown for the Emmys.  This was one of Moss’ most glamorous turn on the red carpet.  The one-shoulder dress had intricate work done on the shoulder, and had a dramatic train on the opposite side for balance and symmetry.  It had a beautiful fitted bodice, but the most telling thing about this look was the look of confidence on the actress’ face, she obviously feels as good as she looks.

Zuhair Murad – Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear Collection

Katy Perry wore a Zuhair Murad dress during the photo shoot for her new album, Teenage Dream.  The musician selected an emerald green tulle and beaded mini dress with cut-outs.  Her dress came from Murad’s Fall 2010 ready-to-wear collection.  It has a sexy bondage vibe, softened by the delicate silk chiffon fabric surrounding the bodice and arms.  The emerald color goes perfectly with her long dark hair, and provides a beautiful contrast.  Though this dress might be short on fabric, it’s big on personality, if Perry’s poses are any indication.  Pairing the celebrity with the right dress is always key, and this dress is very Katy Perry.

Emmys’ Red Carpet Gown

Yesterday was all about the metallics at the Emmys, but I could not let this dress go by unacknowledged.  To borrow the line from “Jerry Maguire”, ‘[it] had me at hello.”  The dress made its red carpet appearance on actress Jennifer Carpenter of “Dexter”.  What’s not to love about this gown?  It’s sexy and feminine; I think of romance in Paris whenever I look at it.  The combination of the nude chiffon and beautiful beading throughout the dress is perfection.  Might I also add that the vertical placement of the beading around the thigh is quite slimming.  The gown is a Zuhair Murad creation.
