There's no competition here as Olivia Wilde, 27, strikes a pose on the red carpet at the movie premiere, In Time in Los Angeles this past week. Olivia chose a simple, but elegant, long black dress with leopard print clutch, gold cuff bracelet and black strappy sandals. In the movie, Olivia plays the mother of Justin Timberlake, 30, which raises the question, "How the heck can a 27-year-old play the mother of a 30-year-old?" Very simple. You see, the movie is a sci‑fi thriller in which the aging gene shuts off at 25 years old. And I bet you'll never guess what happens. You stop aging! Surprise!!! The movie centers around the attempt to control overpopulation and after turning 25, each person is given only one more year to live and when the clock reaches zero, you expire. (Yikes!) Hey, I'm all for anti-aging. But that being the case, I say let the population explode!
Another actress who also plays an anti-aging life form is Ashley Greene, who, along with Robert Pattinson, attended the movie premiere of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part I in Brussels, Belgium on October 26. True to her on-screen character, Alice Cullen, Ashley keeps it short, sweet and sexy in this pink and gold embroidered L'Wren Scott Spring 2012 mini dress. By the way, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part I premieres November 18 in Canada. See you in the line up!!
Jessica Simpson, 31, is the hottest mommy-to-be as she is out and about in The Big Apple on October 25 while decked out in head-to-toe black and a handbag that just makes me want to purr. It really amazes me that at this stage, people are still asking her if she's having a baby, which raises one question to those people: "Harvard or Yale?" Nevertheless, I love the way Jessica ignores the question when asked. However, in the event she were to answer it, I think the dialogue would go something like this: Paparazzi: "Hey, Ms. Simpson, are you having a baby?" Jessica: "Uh, no. I just swallowed a pillow in my sleep a few months back." Just sayin'.
Calling all angels! Victoria's Secret Angels, that is. V.S. Angels, Lily Aldridge (left) and Erin Heatherton (far right) were looking radiant as ever when they showed up at the Burberry Body party in Los Angeles this week to support fellow Angel, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, (centered) who is the new poster model for their new fragrance, Burberry Body. Rosie is smoking hot in her form fitting little champagne coloured silk dress with matching heels. Lily Aldridge chose a more sophisticated look in a black pant suiting, and Erin was elegant in a black mini dress and sheer long skirt ensemble.
It may be Halloween, but that doesn't stop Elle Macpherson, 47, from donning the newest celebrity wardrobe staple, the bandage dress. And no, I'm not talking about dressing like a mummy. The bandage dress is gaining popularity in the celebrity circuit because of its ability to hide and accentuate where it's suppose to. (However, something tells me that Elle Macpherson doesn't need any help in that department.) Elle was in Sydney, Australia recently promoting the skin care product line, Invisible Zinc and decided to make us hate her even more by showing up in a bandage dress. And just to torture us even more, Elle decides to strike a pose sideways.
Actress, Joely Richardson, 46, brings back old Hollywood glamour in this stunning black lace, strapless, tulle layered Marchesa gown when she attended the London Film Festival premiere of her latest film, Anonymous. The dress reminds me of an era gone by, something that Grace Kelly would have worn. In the film, Joely and her mother, legendary actress Vanessa Redgrave, share the role of Queen Elizabeth I wherein Joely portrays young Princess Elizabeth and Vanessa portrays Queen Elizabeth I. The controversial film challenges its audience with the possibility that William Shakespeare was not the actual author of "Shakespeare's" plays, but rather, were written by Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford. We may never know. But I do know one thing. I need to borrow that dress (and accidentally forget to return it).
And completing this week's Friday Fashionistas lineup is the very lovely actress, Freida Pinto, 27. Freida gives red carpet fashion a breath of fresh air in this shimmering Ralph Lauren Collection jumpsuit with Chopard diamond bracelet and red clutch at the screening of her new film, Trishna. What a beautiful alternative to a gown. But as lovely as the jumpsuit is, only a smile like Freida's can light up a red carpet or an entire city during a power outage!
Hope you enjoyed this week's picks. What are yours? Mine this week: Ashley Greene's L'Wren Scott Spring 2012 mini dress. You just knew I was going to pick that one, didn't you? See you next week!
