“Sex And The City 2″ Japan Photocall

Before the “Sex And The City 2″ Japan Premiere, there was a photocall with the fab 4 in Tokyo.

Cynthia Nixon opted for a black fitted dress with matching black pumps, whilst Kristin Davis wore a Giambattista Valli red knot dress.

It’s not vintage but she still look fabulous, as she pairs her red dress with snake skin pumps.

A pre-bob Kim Cattrall wore a floral print dress accented with a gold belt.

All eyes were on Sarah Jessica Parker wearing a vintage Richelene navy sequin strapless dress.

She toned down the dazzle of her dress by pairing it with a white Alexander McQuee blazer with a blue trim, electric blue satin Ferragamo pumps and the gold Alexander McQueen clutch she carried to the Japan Premiere.

Love the look, but adore that necklace.

Dasha Zhukova In Azzedine Alaïa – 2011 MOCA Gala

Dasha Zhukova was also present at the 2011 MOCA Gala in LA on Saturday evening.

The Russian philanthropist, entrepreneur, fashion designer and magazine editor looked stunning wearing an Azzedine Alaïa Fall 2011 Couture gown.

She selected this gown in rose pink which gave her a radiant glow.

Her scalloped gown with a tiered ruffled skirt was teamed with a gold clutch and a silver cocktail ring.

It’s rare to see Dasha wear makeup, but for this special occasion she opted for kohl-rimmed eyes and pretty pink lips.

Slightly back-combed hair completed her look.

Blake Lively In Chanel Couture – Chanel Hosts An Intimate Dinner In Honor Of Blake Lively

Blake Lively was spotted headed to La Grenouille in New York City on Wednesday night for a dinner party which was thrown in her honor by Chanel.

The “Gossip Girl” actress arrived wearing a Chanel Spring 2009 Couture dress.

Her white swan-like bold shoulder dress was decorated with chiffon and organza ruffled details around the neckline and on the skirt.

The guest of honour who is the face of their Mademoiselle handbag collection added white Christian Louboutin heels and Lorraine Schwartz platinum, green emerald and yellow diamond earrings to her look.

As I’m not a fan of white shoes, I wish she’s worn heels the same colour as her Mademoiselle clutch.

I would never have picked this look for Blake, but she looks angelic in her Couture dress. Unfortunately I don’t see this as a BDOTW contender.

What do you think?

Blake’s still filming scenes for “Gossip Girl” so she won’t be in Paris for Chanel’s show on Tuesday.

The British actress does a complete 180 by going from looking ridiculous in an oversized Matthew Williamson gown, to divine wearing a Nina Ricci Fall 2010 dress.

The strapless elegant tiered dress with a peplum at the waist had touches of lace with the hem falling just below the knee.

Grey Stella McCartney pumps and sleek straight shiny blonde hair completed her look.

How Do You Say Copycat In Italian?

Get briefed on a fitting inauguration day fashion scandal, courtesy of the men’s shows: Trousergate. Apparently there is room for only one pair of quilted trousers in Italy, and Giorgio Armani says he made them first. Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana (whose quilted Fall 2009 look is pictured here) feel otherwise.

In other trouser news: It’s apparently official that the (kind of still) new pant silhouette—the carrot, the peg leg, the dhoti, the banana—has taken Hollywood by storm.

Natalie Massenet is one of our fashion idols for surviving the dot-com bubble that burst quite messily over her former peers. (Remember Bloo.com? We didn’t think so.) With impeccable timing, she’s launching an off-price site called theoutnet.com, scheduled to go live sometime this spring.

Now that we’ve begun to add some color to the women’s magazines and runways, it’s time for the boys to catch up. And, file under Obvious: today couldn’t be a better one to start.

Joaquin Phoenix, who has sworn off acting, takes up rapping, and not just as a hobby. Sean Combs will be producing Phoenix’s debut album, which, judging from footage of this performance, may not be the wisest business venture.

You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time. The Washington Post’s Robin Givhan weighs in on Michelle Obama’s unique challenge of dressing to please a nation. Really puts your trouble getting dressed this morning into perspective.

Charlize Theron In Lanvin – 2012 Palm Springs Film Festival Awards Gala

Charlize Theron attended the 23rd Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala on Saturday night, accepting the award for ‘Best Ensemble’ for ‘Young Adult’ with her co-stars.

The actress wore a simple Lanvin Spring 2012 LBD.

She paired her black fitted dress with Cartier yellow gold and black onyx panther bracelet and yellow gold and diamond drop earrings.

Is it just me, or does this ensemble not scream ‘Jennifer Aniston’ from head to toe?

Little black dress, simple strappy sandals, gold jewelry – check.

That being said, this is a relatively simplistic look that totally works for Charlize.

With a revealing slit and padded shoulders, the dress strays from becoming too boring.

Are you a fan of this classic look, or would you prefer a little more oomph from Charlize?

Gillian Anderson In Vintage Christian Dior Couture – InStyle Magazine’s 10th Anniversary Party

Gillian Anderson isn’t usually one to catch my eye, but she did at InStyle Magazine’s 10th Anniversary Party in London on Tuesday night.

The actress looked ethereally beautiful wearing a Christian Dior 1970s Couture dress.

Her simple cap sleeve belted dress had a wrap skirt that split to reveal her silver pumps.

What blows my mind are her emerald Adler earrings and her flawless makeup.

Gillian wore her hair straight, pulled back and side parted, which allowed her earrings to sparkle to their fullest.

I think this is the best she’s ever looked, even though I would’ve preferred silver sandals.

Do you think that this is BDOTW worthy?

Couture’s Confucius

What makes Chinese artist Zhang Huan a fashion darling? It’s not immediately obvious. Zhang, who has traipsed around the Whitney Museum while encased in raw meat, created enormous Buddhas from cowhide, and painted large-scale canvases using incense ash—all in the name of art—has also previously been commissioned by the likes of LVMH chief Bernard Arnault, Christian Dior, and Diane von Furstenberg. His latest exhibition, which inaugurated Shanghai’s newly reopened Rockbund Art Museum (RAM) on Friday, may offer an oblique clue.Called Q Confucius, the artist’s largest solo exhibition in China takes the ancient philosopher as its subject and blows him up as a 16-foot-high, mechanically breathing replica; in incense ash paintings; and as an animatronic statue in a three-story-high cage populated by nine live monkeys. So is there a fashion twist to it? Perhaps the answer is in irony. “As Mao said, ‘Art comes from daily life,’ ” Zhang says with a wink. “And fashion is really about daily life.”Zhang Huan: Q Confucius is open through January 29, 2012, at the Rockbund Art Museum, Shanghai, China.

Sidewalk Style: Jennifer Aniston’s Alexander McQueen Dress

Following the “Horrible Bosses” London photocall and premiere, Jennifer Aniston was spotted leaving the Shoreditch House in London last night, with her new beau Justin Theroux.

Wearing her second LBD of the day, Jen opted to wear an Alexander McQueen belted cape dress.

The classic Jennifer Aniston trademark dress features military button epaulettes, pockets and a cape at the back.
