Kate Middleton selected a gown designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen for her royal wedding. She married Prince William today, April 29, 2011. The dress was made of Chantilly lace with a V- neck and a beautiful bustle. It had a traditional element with a modern temperament. She was remarkably graceful and self-assured under such scrutiny. Kate completed her bridal look with McQueen shoes and a Cartier tiara, borrowed from the Queen.

Emmy Rossum gave the red carpet a run for its money in a red Etro design at Vegas Magazine’s Bash for its February issue.  She is also the cover girl.  The dress had two varying shades of red, they were vibrant jewel toned colors of ruby red and burgundy.  It also had a fitted faux wrap bodice and a thigh-high slit.  Emmy’s crimson red lip color was rich and bold.  Her hair was styled in beautiful shoulder length waves.

Jessica Alba kept it retro-chic in her embellished one-shoulder Gucci dress at the Gucci Rue Royale party.  It worked on so many levels, from the dazzling bead-work down to the fabulous fit and silhouette.  The marks of quality are style factor, wearability and timelessness, and this dress qualifies on all counts.  Sleek hair and classically beautiful makeup merged well with this metallic vintaged look. Her champagne peeped toe heels and embellished evening bag were the perfect finish to this red carpet stunner. 

Michelle Obama wore a Rachel Roy design to the State of the Union address last night.  The three-quarter length sleeved dress was in a neutral shade of grey with a subtle detail at the neckline.  It was understated and graceful; very befitting of a first lady.  Her makeup was classic and her hair was styled in a lovely bob.  The earrings and bracelets were a nice complement to the dress, and they added an exclamation point to her look.  This was a home-run for designer Rachel Roy, dressing Mrs. Obama is still a major accomplishment.

Michelle Obama went the avant garde route with her dress selection for the 2011 State Dinner with China this evening.  She wore a red Alexander McQueen print gown in silk chiffon.  It was an excellent choice.  The color alone made it extremely wise because of its symbolic meaning in Chinese culture, ‘good luck’.  This was also a winner because of its style quotient.  It was sleeveless and showcased her fabulous arms and shoulders.  The print gave her dress texture and depth, similar to a painting.  In a word, it was positively regal.

Zoe Saldana kept it sweet and sexy in a leather J. Mendel dress at the Audi and J. Mendel event to celebrate the start of Golden Globe Awards week.  The actress wore a strapless mini-dress with beautiful frontal draping and ruffles.  The light grey color gave it a clean aesthetic, and the gorgeous details were ultra feminine even in leather.  Her shoes were of a burgundy hue that gave her look a pop of color.  The clutch was burgundy as well with ornate embellished details.  Zoe’s stylist had done her homework and paid attention to details;  the look fully complemented the red carpet backdrop. 

Blake Lively wore Versace to the launch of Lorraine Schwartz’ new jewelry line, 2BHAPPY.  The nude colored sleeveless dress was gorgeous on the actress.  It had a faux strapless appearance because of the sheer straps, and sexy peek-a-boo cut-outs on the sides and back.  I loved the bustier styled effect in the upper bodice.  She accessorized with dazzling Lorraine Schwartz earrings that dangled effortlessly to the base of her neck.  Blake wore a pair of bronze high-heeled sandals and matching bracelets in an interesting shape.  Her hair was sleeked back into a center-part bun that finished-off her polished red carpet look.

Olivia Wilde was beautiful in Opening Ceremony at the Hollywood Stars Who Care event in Hollywood.  The dress was from the Tron Legacy Opening Ceremony collaboration.  The cobalt blue was striking on the red carpet against the hot pink background.  She stood out amongst a sea of celebrities in gray and black outfits.  The color was vibrant and it had beautiful proportions.  Olivia accessorized with a pair of platform Jimmy Choo sandals in a matching hue.  Her makeup was dramatic and her ruby red lips complemented her manicure and pedicure.  She wore her hair in a lady-like bun to complete her elegant look for the evening. 

Emma Roberts wore Topshop to the Lanvin for H&M fashion show last night.  The young actress was lovely in a strapless lavendar dress with a sweetheart neckline.  Her dress was sweet and youthful with a flowing tail in back.  Wearing Topshop instead of H&M to this event was unexpected, but delightfully daring.  She accessorized with a belt in a hue darker than her dress, a pair of metallic gold platform pumps and a gold evening bag.  A classic neutral face and center part pony tail completed her look.
