candybarbie — Sun, 19 May 2013 15:54:00 +0000

Celeb: Jane Fonda

Designer: Atelier Versace (gown), Jimmy Choo (sandals), Versace (clutch), Chopard (jewels)

Event: ‘Jimmy P. (Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian)’ premiere, 2013 Cannes Film Festival, France

Verdict: UMMMM can I start by pointing out that this woman is 75 YEARS OLD???? Holy amazement. She looks phenomenal. I mean. Come on. This silk turquoise Atelier Versace gown with Swarovski embellishments and cut-out detail is absolutely perfect for the actress. It is sexy yet still age appropriate. Jane looks hot! Paired with a pair of Jimmy Choo’s, a silver Versace clutch and a stylish up-do, she gets it just right. There are many actresses half her age who need to take note! Attention ladies: do what Jane Fonda is doing! She looks better than ever! A+!

What do you think? Do you like Jane in this sparkly bright turquoise gown? Love it? Hate it?

Happy Sunday!

Chopard Lunch: Marion Cotillard in Vivienne Westwood

candybarbie — Sat, 18 May 2013 16:40:46 +0000

Because I have been super busy this past week, the blog has taken a backseat (unfortunately). But now that I’m back, I am returning to you with a bang! With one of my favorite ladies…..Marion Cotillard! *swoon*

Celeb: Marion Cotillard

Designer: Vivienne Westwood (dress), Chopard (jewels)

Event: Chopard Lunch @ the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, France

Verdict: I love this pink and ivory strapless Vivienne Westwood dress on Marion! I think she looks so pretty! The corseted top and high-low hem are so sexy, but she keeps the look daytime appropriate with nude sandals, barely there makeup and simple hair. To me, this is quite a change for the actress who typically wears Dior. And again, this is a luncheon, so this color palette is perfect for daytime! I love everything about this!

What do you think? Do you like Marion in this high-low Vivienne Westwood dress? Love it? Loathe it?

Caption This!

candybarbie — Sat, 11 May 2013 18:05:33 +0000

While “working” on the blog this morning, I stumbled across this photo:

Now. I realize this has absolutely zero to do with fashion. But because I find Alec Baldwin and his antics quite comical, I had to post this. Had to. The accompanying caption said something along the lines of “Alec gets angry and yells at his pregnant wife while walking their poodles” so of course I had to click the link….and this lovely little photo appeared. I don’t know why, but I can’t help but laugh. At all of it. At the photo. At the fact that it does look like Alec is yelling at Hilaria. At the fact that they have poodles. At her shoes. I don’t know. I just love it. All of it.

So, go ahead….

CAPTION THIS PHOTO! GO!

Celeb: Jordana Brewster

Designer: Jenny Packham (gown), Jimmy Choo (sandals)

Event: ‘Fast and Furious 6′ Premiere, London

Verdict: Jordana looks stunning in this fully beaded, strapless Jenny Packham gown! I love it! Simple hair, simple makeup and simple jewelry complement this dress nicely. Honestly, I think Jordana is such a gorgeous girl and I absolutely cannot wait to see the sixth installment in the ‘Fast and Furious’ films….I pretty much love everything she does! This dress is beautiful and she wears it perfectly. LOVE.

What do you think? Do you like this beaded Jenny Packham gown on Jordana? Love it? Hate it?

candybarbie — Thu, 09 May 2013 14:22:29 +0000

Celeb: Karolina Kurkova

Designer: Mary Katrantzou

Event: 2013 Met Gala, New York City

Verdict: I LOVE THIS! Karolina looks hot! I mean, just look at those legs! Wow! This dress has a lot going on: short skirt, one sleeve, busy print. But she is totally working it! And of course this is perfectly appropriate for the Met Gala….funky and fun! Smoky, smoldering eyes, studded ankle strap pumps and sleek hair provide the perfect finishing touches. AMAZING! Karolina gets an A+!

What do you think? Do you like Karolina in this one-sleeve Mary Katrantzou creation? Love it? Hate it? Talk to me, people!

2013 Met Gala: Anne Hathaway in Valentino

candybarbie — Tue, 07 May 2013 14:09:40 +0000

Celeb: Anne Hathaway

Designer: Valentino

Event: 2013 Met Gala, New York City

Verdict: Considering the venue, I think Anne looks good. This is the Met Gala, after all. Where the stars are supposed to get funky. This Valentino gown fits the actress perfectly, and the crazy sleeves combined with the cut-outs and wild design, well, I think she got it just right. I’m not crazy about her nails, but I do like that she completely surprised everyone by going blonde! So, overall, I like this. Good job, Anne.

What do you think? Do you like Anne is this Valentino number? Love it? Hate it?

Happy Tuesday!

Star Trek Into Darkness Premiere: Alice Eve in Emilio Pucci

candybarbie — Wed, 01 May 2013 14:01:39 +0000

Celeb: Alice Eve

Designer: Emilio Pucci

Event: ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Premiere, Berlin

Verdict: Alice is absolutely sizzling in this red Emilio Pucci dress! I love it! The little cut-out in the front is so, so sexy, yet still understated. And the back of the dress! Wowzers! I mean, come on. If you don’t like this…then, well….you need to get your eyes/head examined! Alice literally looks like a tall, statuesque beauty. She is one! I even like the red lipstick! If I had to pick out one itty-bitty miniscule detail here that I didn’t like, it would be the bangs. I don’t like ‘em. BUT….they do not take away from this look in the slightest. Bangs or no bangs, the Star Trek actress looks the a full-blown movie star. Amazing! Love!

What do you think? Do you like Alice in this red-hot Emilio Pucci dress? Love it? Loathe it?

Happy Hump Day!

Star Trek Into Darkness Premiere: Zoe Saldana in Balmain

candybarbie — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 15:09:53 +0000

Celeb: Zoe Saldana

Designer: Balmain (skirt and top), Christian Louboutin (pumps)

Event: ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Premiere, Berlin

Verdict: ZOE CAN DO NO WRONG. I love this and I love her! This embroidered pink and gold leather top and bright pink tulip-shaped skirt (both by Balmain) are different, sure. But most certainly in a good way! Zoe looks great! She looks sexy and edgy and sleek all at the same time. Plus, it’s for the ‘Star Trek’ premiere! She needed to wear something sort of futuristic! A dark manicure, slicked-back hair and a pair of Christian Louboutin ’Pigaresille’ pumps complete this gorgeous look. For me, this look deserves an A.

What do you think? How would you grade this look? Love it or loathe it? Tell me, people!!!

Hope everyone has a great week!

Iron Man 3 Premiere: Gwyneth Paltrow in Antonio Berardi

candybarbie — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 14:15:38 +0000

Celeb: Gwyneth Paltrow

Designer: Antonio Berardi (top and maxi skirt), Christian Louboutin (sandals)

Event: Iron Man 3 Premiere, Los Angeles

Verdict: Dare I say this….but….I really like this! As I am not a huge fan of Gwynnie, I can admit when she looks good….and GIRL LOOKS GOOD! Typically I would not be a fan of such a revealing dress for a red carpet event (or any other event, really) but in this case it is the Iron Man 3 premiere, so it feels right….if that makes sense. The colors in this Antonio Berardi ensemble: the black and white paired with the green and navy….I don’t know….they just work together. Like I said, to me, this dress just looks Iron Man-ish. Somehow appropriate. I really can’t explain it any further than that. And not to mention that Gwyneth Queen of the World Paltrow has a KILLER bod. So, in any other instance, and probably on anybody else, a bit of butt cheek on the red carpet would be a giant no-no. But on this day only, for Gwyneth and for Iron Man, I say yes. She makes this dress look chic and feminine, and I think she looks sexy as ever! The white Christian Louboutin sandals are great with this dress, IMO. And, lastly, plain hair and makeup. But let’s be honest. With a dress like this one, plain hair and makeup are the way to go. The dress stands alone. For me, this is a stand-out look that most couldn’t pull off. Gwyneth does, and does it quite well. A+

What do you think? Do you like Gwyneth in this multi-color, sheer panel Antonio Berardi blouse and maxi skirt? Love it or hate it? Classy or trashy?

2013 White House Correspondents’ Dinner: Nicole Kidman in Emilio Pucci

candybarbie — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 14:19:16 +0000

Celeb: Nicole Kidman

Designer: Emilio Pucci (dress), Bottega Veneta (clutch), Manolo Blahnik (sandals), Fred Leighton (earrings)

Event: 2013 White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Washington DC

Verdict: Nicole looks beautiful! I love this fully embellished lavender gown by Emilio Pucci. I mean, do I think it is completely ridiculous that celebrities come from all over to rub elbows with the President and the First Lady? Absolutely. Buuuut, that is for an entirely different conversation, one I won’t get into at present time. Anyways, back to the important stuff. Fashion. Like I said, I think Nicole looks amazing in this dress. And I am so happy that she kept everything else super simple: minimal makeup, loose curls and a pair of Fred Leighton drop earrings. She let the dress be the focal point, as it should be. Very nice. A+ Nicole!

What do you think? Do you like this light purple Emilio Pucci dress on Nicole? Love it? Hate it?

Happy Monday, friends!
