Textbook Styling

How stunning does Blake Lively look!?

In something a little bit bolder and brighter than her usual style, Ms Lively stole the show at the CinemaCon Awards Gala in Las Vegas this week.

This cap sleeved, tulle-ruffle Marchesa dress is both stylish and sexy. The short skirt length and almost see-through bodice show off enough skin to make this look red-hot. Yet, the luxurious silk fabric, beautiful deep red colour and lace-look embroidery make sure this outfit is nothing short of sophisticated glamour.

Blake let the dress do the talking opting for simple accessories, hair and make-up. A messy up do, feline eyes, a few white bracelets and white drop earrings were all the look required.

As I was just about to publish this post, I came across another equally gorgeous picture of Ms Lively at the awards - it seems this girl just couldn't narrow it down to only one outfit choice.

Working a white lace Dolce & Gabbana mini dress, white blazer and luscious Christian Dior shoe boots, Blake looked every inch a Hollywood star.

She has these looks down to a tee. What's great about both of these outfits is that Blake has managed to incorporate her own penchant for minis, statement dresses and simple hair and make-up with a red carpet worthy, A-lister look. This is textbook styling. She wows in classy creations, while maintaining the essence of her youth. Good work!

Blake was at the awards to collect her gong for Breakthrough Performer of the Year.

Style de la semaine

I am loving Victoria Beckham's recent switch to a more relaxed wardrobe. This forest green, sixties-style shift shows Victoria at her best - elegant, sophisticated and looking particularly youthful. The perfect outfit for a meeting in New York city.

It is always a surprise to see Victoria in anything other than sky-high heels, but these monochrome ballet pumps are a cute alternative and the bow ensures they are bang on trend.

As always, the addition of over sized sunnies, gives Victoria that star edge, but her tousled hair keeps the look modern, simple and effective. Wool Crepe Shift Dress, £395, Goat.

Anne Hathaway has upped her game in the fashion stakes, sporting two Winter trends at a recent charity event. Teaming a pleated, 3/4 length leather skirt with a silky white blouse, Anne abandoned her fashion comfort zone.

A flash of nude heels with ankle straps sexed up the look, as did the daring red lippy. Jewellery was kept simple, with a delicate gold pendent necklace and small black watch. Impressive work!

In my eyes, Blake Lively never gets it wrong, and this week's attendance at the Lorraine Schwartz 2BHappy collection launch surely cements her place in 2010's best dressed lists.


Nude has been 'the colour' for so long, that I'm surprised any celebrity would opt to wear it, let alone be able to make it look fresh and new. Yet, Blake did just that in this blush Versace corset dress. The separate silk and shimmering panels emphasised Blake's curves, ensuring all eyes were on her.

Paired with towering chocolate brown strappy Christian Louboutin heels and Lorraine Schwartz droplet earrings, Blake was the essence of glamour. A sleek up-do and bronze toned make-up finished off this sassy but opulent look.
