This Week’s Fabulous Fashionistas Are: Kate Hudson, Charlize Theron & More
Always a hit on the red carpet, this time Elizabeth Hurley dazzles the pink carpet at The Breast Cancer Research Foundation's 'Hot Pink Party' at The Waldorf Astoria in NYC on April 30, 2012. No surprises here. The model/actress was breathtaking in a dusty pink floor-sweeping shimmering gown from the Jack Guisso Spring/Summer 2012 Couture Collection. The beadwork on the gown is exquisite, transitioning into linear patterns that hug her in all the right places, showing off her most enviable figure. The Hot Pink Party is a cause close to Elizabeth's heart as she lost her beloved grandmother to breast cancer. Wednesday night's event raised over $5 million dollars for breast cancer research! Hats off to Ms. Hurley and all of those who have donated their time and money to this much needed cause!
How does one make an entrance when arriving at one of the most glamorous events of the year in Washington? For Ivanka Trump, it was effortless. The former model and now businesswoman served up a jaw-dropping moment in a Naeem Khan Fall 2011 silver sequined gown with cap sleeves and a plunging neckline that screamed "And this folks, is how it's done", when she arrived at the 2012 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner on April 28, 2012 in Washington, D.C. Ivanka accessorized perfectly with a linked bracelet, hooped earrings and metallic clutch. All I can say is, "Wow!" Are you loving this look as much as I am? A definite contender for our top picks of the year!
And no White House Correspondents' Association Dinner would be complete without the most beautiful and brightest television journalist in attendance. In fact, the doors don't open until she arrives! Anchor Diane Sawyer brought chic and sophistication to the red carpet at the event in a black asymmetrical cut-out shoulder jersey knit dress accessorized with gold clutch, black peep-toes, gold earrings and a most stunning gold wrap. No word on who the designer of the dress is; however, my fashion radar is hovering over the Donna Karan label.
Adding a splash of colour at the 2012 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner red carpet was actress Kate Hudson who was stunning in a 60's inspired look in a purple sequined Jenny Packham gown featuring long sleeves and wide oval neckline. Kate sealed it with a black clutch by Edie Parker, simple earrings and hair pulled into a high bun. The dress fits Kate like a glove and its colour is as dazzling as she is. Definitely one of the best looks of the night. Washington will never be the same!
Actress Charlize Theron also graced the red carpet at the 2012 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner in an Emilio Pucci Pre-Fall 2012 gown fit for a queen. The all-lace dress fitted over nude lining features scalloped edged neckline, sleeves and flared hem. Wisely, given the detail of the dress, Charlize wore her hair back in a simple bun with minimal jewellery, completing the look with Manolo Blanhik shoes and Judith Leiber clutch. I'm quite looking forward to seeing Charlize in her upcoming film, Snow White and the Huntsman, in which she plays the evil Queen. Now that's one role that's going to take some convincing.
Not one to shy away from colour, Elizabeth Banks stands out in a bright red strapless Antonio Berardi Fall 2012 gown on the red carpet at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. The gown features a diagonally pleated peplum, slight train and cinched waist which emphasizes Elizabeth's svelte figure. To complete her look, Elizabeth opted for a gold cuff bracelet, diamond hoop earrings, red platform heels and Lara Bohnic black and gold clutch. Who said you couldn't wear red on the red carpet?
No leg baring antics here! Also bringing glamour to Washington this week was Elle Macpherson. Elle was nothing less than stunning in a gorgeous strapless silk organza and silk crepe Romona Keveza Fall 2012 couture gown which featured a pleated bodice neckline and a now-and-wow asymmetrical peplum. This is an absolutely stunning gown and no one could be more perfect to wear it than Elle Macpherson. In fact, it earns two pictures. Elle completed her look with black pumps and clutch, diamond bracelets and chandelier-style diamond earrings. (Who was that leg-flashing actress at the 2012 Oscars? Oh, never mind.) Definitely one of the Elle's best looks.
Completing this week's Fabulous Fashionistas is Reese Witherspoon. The mommy-to-be brought Old Hollywood Glamour to Saturday's star-studded Washington gala in a Monique Lhuillier Spring 2012 gown which featured an asymmetrical neckline. Reese completed her look with turquoise Irene Neuwirth earrings and cocktail ring and a 40's inspired side swept do in soft curls. You can hardly tell that Reese is expecting in this gown. And even if you could, I'm sure she'd be the most stunning expectant mommy on the red carpet. Love this retro look on Reese; she suits it so well!
That's it readers for another week! A very special thank you to Elizabeth Hurley for her support for breast cancer research. And many thanks to the beautiful women who brought glamour to Washington! Hope you enjoyed my picks. Until next week, love, peace and happiness!
