Singer-songwriter Fergie, 36, brings us into the future in a cosmic-inspired George Chakra Couture dress when she attended The Clinton Foundation's "A Decade of Difference" gala in L.A. on October 14. Hervé Léger by Max Azria clutch and Christian Louboutin ‘Pigalle Strass’ pumps complete the look. (I wonder if she knew the dress even matches the blue carpet and background.) While this is quite a departure from what we're used to seeing Fergie wear, especially on the red carpet, she does prove one thing. That is, you don`t have to be super model tall and waif-like to look great in couture. Simply, Fergalicious!
Another fashionista making (somewhat of) a fashion departure this week is rocker Katy Perry, 26. Katy is known for her funky fashion sense. However, she recently hit the town with her mother-in-law, Barbara Brand, in this 60s‑inspired Giambattista Valli cape dress and jacket ensemble to see the musical adaptation of Ghost in London`s West End. Although the look is somewhat different from what we`re accustomed to seeing her in, Katy stays true to her playful style in bright head-to-toe pink including pink hair and pink lipstick. And quite frankly, I like this monochromatic look on Katy. It just goes to show you that you can take the girl out of pink, but you can never take the pink out of this girl!
Another darling making a statement in pink is Supermodel Miranda Kerr, 28, who strikes a pose in a gorgeous Michael Kors gown and strappy gold sandals recently at the New York Victoria`s Secret flagship store. Miranda was in The Big Apple to help unveil the $2.5 million Victoria`s Secret Fantasy Treasure Bra for their 2011 Christmas catalogue. (Stop choking.) Incidentally, Miranda will be modelling the bra, which features 142 carats of diamonds, (you heard right) in the 2011 Victoria`s Secret Fashion Show, airing Tuesday, November 29 on CBS. (And I`ll bet every seat is sold out.) Now, I like ordering from Victoria`s Secret as much as the next person. But if you had billions of bucks to blow on lingerie, would you buy this bra? Try walking through customs wearing it. Even sniffer dogs would kill for it.
Always a vision of beauty and elegance, Catherine Zeta-Jones turned heads in this lilac Elie Saab Haute Couture capped-sleeve creation bejewelled with Van Cleef & Arpels earrings and bracelet with Rene Caovilla pumps when she attended the Fine Romance Benefit in Culver City, CA on Saturday, October 15. The gown is a keeper and is adorned with hundreds of crystals. Apparently, as with most haute couture gowns, which take MONTHS to create, it would probably retail somewhere in the neighbourhood of $100,000. However, as most of us couldn`t afford such a frock, I checked eBay hoping perhaps that someone in their not-so-right state of mind might be dying to get rid of theirs for a bargain price. Unfortunately, no one's selling.
The most glamorous Housewife on Wisteria Lane, Eva Longoria, is dazzling in an Alice + Olivia shimmering sheath on Saturday, October 15 when she hosted the Padres Contra El Cancer gala with George Lopez at the Tropicana in Las Vegas. Eva always gets its right. Whether on the red carpet or in the checkout line at the grocery store, she always looks great. Did you know that while growing up, other girls referred to her as "la prieta fea", which, in Spanish, means "the ugly dark one". Little did they know that years later a publication named Maxim would come along and list her as #1 Hottest Female Star of 2005 and 2006, and not to mention becoming the first woman to top the list in two consecutive years. Just sayin!
Not everyone can look as stunning pumping gas as they do on the red carpet. However, Katherine Heigl, 32, is here to defy those odds. Katherine recently attended Elle`s 18th Annual Women in Hollywood Tribute held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills on Monday, October 17, and hit the red carpet in this Amanda Wakeley embellished dress with Tacori earrings, David Yurman gems and Rene Caovilla heels and finished the look with a Deepa Gurnani clutch. On Thursday, Katherine is seen filling up for gas decked out in a gorgeous camel and black trimmed coat with stunning leopard-print bootie-licious booties. Now, do you think she was on her way to another glamorous bash and had to stop off to get gas or do you think she just looks like this every time she pulls up to a gas station? Just wonderin'.
She may have been voted off Dancing with the Stars, but Kristin Cavallari, 24, earns high marks and two spots in this week`s Friday`s Fashionistas. Kristin wore a black lace dress with long sleeves and a neckline similar to that of HRH Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge`s wedding dress, while attending the P.S. Arts' 20th Anniversary Celebration. The event was hosted by jewellery designer, David Yurman and was held at Sunset Tower in West Hollywood on October 18. Kristin`s ring is by David Yurman, which is designed in 18K yellow gold with black onyx and diamond pave. To see more of David`s designs, davidyurman.com. The day before, Kristin attended the Redbury Hotel in Hollywood where it was her turn to play host as the new brand ambassador for and at the Chinese Laundry party, wearing a formfitting white mini dress with a nude clutch and, of course, nude Chinese Laundry pumps. All I can is, what is Dancing with the Stars' loss, is Chinese Laundry`s gain! To see more of their shoe colleciton, visit Chinese Laundry.
And completing this week's Fashionistas is Modern Family star, Sofia Vergara and model/actress, Denise Vasi. Donning a sleek black dress with Pomellato bangles, Sutra earrings, silver clutch and black peep toe pumps, Sofia wows the crowd while recently attending The Clinton Foundation's A Decade of Difference gala at the Hollywood Palladium in L.A. I just love that neckline, which also proves popular with Denise Vasi in her black Zac Posen gown when she attended the Caron Renaissance 3rd Annual Save‑A‑Life gala at the Capitale Bowery in NYC on October 17. Denise completes the look with diamond baubles (hello!) and cherry-red lipstick.
