Singer Selena Gomez, 19, and her leading man, Justin Bieber, 17, channel old Hollywood at the 2011 American Music Awards held at the Nokia Theatre in L.A. on November 20. Selena was the toast of the red carpet looking stunning as ever in a low-cut Giorgio Armani champagne gown with side slit and train. Silver sandals, shimmering clutch and minimal jewellery completed her look. Selena kept her make-up simple and wore her hair in romantic waves. By her side, boyfriend Justin Bieber looked debonair and sophisticated in a black velvet tux and bow tie with hair slicked and parted on the side. The lovebirds are just head over heels for one another. In fact, Justin even carried the train of Selena's dress for her, because quite frankly my dear, he does give a damn.
Ask anyone who the golden girl of the 2011 American Music Awards was and one person comes to mind. Taylor Swift, 21, sparkled in a beautiful strapless gold sequined gown by Reem Acra Spring 2012 Collection with Lorraine Schwartz jewels and Jimmy Choo shoes. Taylor was not only a winner on the red carpet, but also in all three categories in which she was nominated, including the highest accolade of the evening, Artist of the Year. Taylor accepted the award with such humbleness, and said, "This is one of the craziest things that has ever happened to me." Ah … it's all good crazy, my dear. My advice to Taylor: Keep singing and writing as good as you do Taylor, and things will never go back to being sane (nor would you want them to). We love you!
After giving an outstanding singing/dance performance at the 2011 American Music Awards that earned her a standing ovation, it was time for Jennifer Lopez to get down to some serious partying at the 2011 AMA Post-Party at Greystone Manor Supperclub in L.A. on Sunday night. Looking nothing less than stunning, Jennifer lit up the shindig in this silver sequined mini from the Emilio Pucci Spring 2010 Collection, with silver sequined pumps and clutch and drop gem earrings completing her look. Just watching her performance at the AMAs left me exhausted! Check it out at YouTube.
Also dazzling in silver is Dita Von Teese when she attended the official launch of My Cointreau Travel Essentials at the Sunset Lounge inside the Mondrian South Beach Hotel in Florida on November 17. Dita is the muse for My Cointreau Travel Essentials, (right) and you could just imagine the looks on the faces of the hotel guests when she made her entrance at the event sauntering down the hotel lobby's black spiral staircase in this silver Herve L Leroux gown with studded Christian Louboutin pumps, vintage earrings and Cartier ring. Drinks are on the house!
Picture this: A pair of sleek black leather pants topped with a simple, elegant silk blouse, and coordinated with a minimal black scarf and killer booties. And who do you envision? Model Carolyn Murphy, 38, when she attended the Cinema Society & Dior beauty screening of Young Adult at the Tribeca Grand Screening Room in NYC on November 18. However, the good news is that you don't have to be a supermodel or attend a movie premiere to get this look (top right). It's all just an order away at Victoria's Secret.
Cullen vampire hunk, actor Kellan Lutz, 26, arrived in style at the GQ Australia Men of the Year Awards at the Sydney Opera House in Sydney, Australia on November 22. Although not nominated for any awards at the event, Kellan is still a winner when he walked the red carpet in this dashing black suit and tie. Best known for his role as Emmett Cullen in the hugely successful Twilight series (thank you, Stephenie Meyer), Kellan, who is also a model, did a hot photo shoot for GQ Australia in September and now has a new clothing line in the works. To see pictures of the shoot head over to Access Hollywood. (Warning: Keep defibrillator close by.)
Saving the best for last! Holding court at the movie premiere of Nova Zembla at the RAI Theatre in Amsterdam on November 22 was Princess Maxima who attended the event with husband, Prince Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands. The Princess, who could steal any leading lady's thunder, was stunning in a black one-shoulder creation complimented with silver clutch. However, without a doubt, her most dazzling fashion accessories were the diamond drop earrings, diamond bracelets and diamond brooch. Maxima proves that you can wear a lot of jewels and still keep it chic. And I have to say, I absolutely love the placement of the diamond brooch. It really sets the dress off.
That's a wrap-up for another week and thank you for your viewership. So what are your picks? Mine: Princess Maxima.
A happy belated Thanksgiving for my American readers and friends. And I hope your Black Friday was a safe and prosperous one. Until next week, lots of love and have a great weekend!
