Get the Look: Naomi Watts

Many celebrities have that one thing they become synonymous with after a while. Think Jlaw and Dior, Victoria Beckham and her Birkins and Naomi Watts has herself become known for her love of Bulgari jewels, in particular her diamond snake necklace as worn on multiple occasions over the past year or so. 

As any girl knows, versatility is key when it comes to perfect accessorising, you wear good jewellery far more often than any item of clothing after all, and we love how one necklace can work in so many different ways. Having said that the necklaces $70,000 price tag is probably a bit out of most of our price ranges, right? 

Luckily then that London based designer Simon Harrison has the perfect alternative that is far more reasonable and can help us mere mortals looks as well styled as Naomi. Coming in at roughly £1500 it is still above your average price tag but as Naomi demonstrates you are sure to get your wear.

2014 Golden Globes

It's that time of year again, Christmas has barely passed us by before awards season is upon us. Having said that, there is probably nothing better than seeing a host of celebrities in my favourite designers to inspire me to work harder and get that beach bod.

Whilst the Golden Globes are primarily known for being an indication as to what films will perform well at The Oscars, as well as being great opportunity for us to review some gorgeous celebrities in gorgeous outfits (see our gallery of Hits and Misses here: http://goo.gl/RfgK64), this year offered us some great moments to remember exactly why we love some of our favourite celebrities. 

First up - Leonardo Dicaprio. Oh Leo, how we love thee, even more so now that he left his stunning 21 year old, Victoria's Secret model girlfriend at home in favour of walking down the red carpet with his Mum, what's a cutie! Leo was up for his 9th Golden Globe nomination an whilst he should have won each of those awards he yesterday won his second for Best Actor - Musical or Comedy for his performance in The Wolf of Wall Street. Let's hope he finally gets his much deserved first Oscar!

JLaw being JLaw - by any account she is by far one of the most down to earth celebrities around and last night just reaffirmed our love for her even more. First there was the Taylor Swift photobomb after which the actress told the pop star she wanted to push her down the stairs. Next she was seen at her table, well just being the JLaw that we know and love, goofing around and giving beau Nicholas Hoult a big kiss after winning her category, finally confirming that they are indeed back together. Finally, whilst she has been panned for her choice of outfit, it has spawned a whole host of Internet memes and it wouldn't surprise is if she had chosen the dress having for seen this.

Emma Thompson and her shoes. Not only did that star arrive to present an award with her Louboutins in one hand and a martini in the other but she then proceeded to throw the shoes over her shoulder - queue a round applause from women everywhere who now breath a sigh if relief to know it's ok that they feel pain after walking in the for more than an hour. 

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. What a duo, their agents are surely very busy people right now. Whilst Gervais was known for his steely and awkward jokes at the expense of his audience these two however, poked fun at their guests without ever being inappropriate. Some of the best jokes included 'Gravity shows us that George Clooney would rather float in space and die than spend one more minute with a woman his age' and 'Like a supermodels vagina, let's all give a  warm welcome to Leonardo DiCaprio'. Pure Comedic Gold.

Couture Fashion Week: Atelier Versace

With Cameron Diaz and Diane Kruger both in the front row for the first show of Couture Fashion Week, Donatella Versace is showing more than even that this is her year.

Not content with two sell out H&M collections, the launch of her Childrens wear collection, she has now revived her Atelier Versace collection by showing it on the run way for the first time since 2004.

The collection was a bright one, with hues of green, orange and yellow, all shown on mirrored stairs almost as an emphasis of the futuristic/architectural silhouette to the dresses.  Whilst Donatella's models are otherwise known for their tanned appearance, these models were all but pal wonders, with slicked back hair and smokey eyed make up to make them appear that bit more sultry.

Versace's Couture collections have, for the past 8 years, shown only on the red carpet (most recently on Angelina Jolie at last weeks Golden Globes), but this was most certainly a comeback to remember.

 

 

The Golden Globes 2012: Red Carpet

'The Golden Globes are to The Oscar's what Kim Kardashian is to Kate Middleton' those were funny man Ricky Gervais' opening words at last nights 69th Golden Globes.  Whilst neither of the Kate's were at the ceremony last night (why would they be) but there were still plenty of fashion royalty on the red carpet, from Elle Macphereson (why though?) to Angelina Jolie.  We saw plenty of the top SS 2012 trends, undoubtedly the fish tail dress was the biggest trend of the night, as well as a bizarrely natural colour palette, black, white and nude swarmed the red carpet with the occasional splash of colour from the more confident starlet such as Paula Patton and host Ricky Gervais himself.

I'm spending my Monday morning exhausted from staying up so late to tweet all the best outfits.  Despite the exhaustion I still have to work and only have time for a quick post, so here's my red carpet winners:

Looking flawless as always was Jessica Alba in this stunning embellished Gucci Gown.  Her simply side swept hair, bare shoulders and minimal accessories only emphasized how perfect she truly is.  Hard to believe that this time last year she was the pregnant one at the CFDA's but it's true, now time to hit the gym....

Another who dared to bare was supermodel Elle 'The Body' Macphereson.  What she was doing there we cant quite figure out either, but never the less, she looked fabulous in the Zac Posen gown.  Although this is the nearly 50 year old mother who still rocks leather trousers.  The Body indeed.

Girl of the moment Rooney Mara stuck to her newely gothic roots with her black Nina Ricci gown.  The former girl next door has undergone a dramatic transformation since she cut off all of her hair to star in David Finchers adaptation of Swedish phenomenon The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo it suits her like none other.

I cant help but compare Rooney to Twilight's Kristen Stewart, they both have that rigid awkwardness on the red carpet, but unlike K Stew, Rooney works it.  Going .To.Be.BIG in 2012.

Undoubtedly one of the most tweeted about dresses of the night was Clare Danes monochrome wonder by J. Mendel.  From the front the dress was pretty enough, but then she turned around and that back....I've never been a person to be a excited about a back.  But before now we all know Hilary Swank was the queen of a backless dress. Well move Hilary because Juliets back in town.

There were of course plenty of Faux Pas last night from the headbands to the velvet, and the men, well George Clooney, Adam Levine and a somewhat questionable waistcoat worn by Johnny Depp.  More to follow....
