Kate Hudson in Jenny Packham - 2012 White House Correspondants' Dinner

Kate Hudson wore a Jenny Packham gown to this year's White House Correspondants' Dinner in Washington D.C.

She looked stunning in the sequined purple column gown with a boat neckline and embellished cuffs.  

Kate doesn't attend many glitzy events but when she does, she always leaves her mark.  I love everything about her look, from the high bun to the make-up, jewelery and clutch.

Reese Witherspoon in Monique Lhuillier - 2012 White House Correspondants' Dinner

Reese Witherspoon wore a Monique Lhuillier gown to the 2012 White House Correspondants' Dinner.

The pregnant actress looked absolutely stunning in the black dress with a strappy neckline.

A retro hairstyle, fresh make-up and gorgeous earrings completed her look.

Charlize Theron in Emilio Pucci - 2012 White House Correspondants' Dinner

At the 2012 White House Correspondants' Dinner, Charlize Theron brought her elegance in an Emilio Pucci Pre-Fall 2012 gown.

She looked poised and beautiful as always in this full sleeved lace gown with a back cut-out.  However, I wish she had worn the belt that can be seen on the model, just to break up the pattern.

Elizabeth Banks in Antonio Berardi - 2012 White House Correspondants' Dinner

Elizabeth Banks brought colour to the 2012 White House Correspondants' Dinner.

She wore an Antonio Berardi Fall 2012 gown.  The vibrant red dress with an architectural peplum waist was simple yet made an impact.

She wore it with matching jewels and an updo.

Zooey Deschanel in Oscar de la Renta - 2012 White House Correspondants Dinner

Zooey Deschanel attended the 2012 White House Correspondants Dinner in an Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2012 ballgown.

I liked the unusual grey shade of the sequined dress but it was sitting too low on her and hence formed a puddle in the bottom.

The hair and red lips were spot on, as always though.

Claire Danes in Vivienne Westwood - 2012 White House Correspondants Dinner

Claire Danes attended the White House Correspondants Dinner in an unexpected label.

She wore a Vivienne Westwood dress.  I was somewhat disappointed to see her in such a sloppy dress as we're used to seeing Claire look polished and immaculate always.  There isn't a single aspect of her look that I liked.

Dakota Fanning in Prada - 2012 White House Correspondants Dinner

Dakota Fanning attended the White House Correspondants Dinner in Washington D.C. 

Dakota didn't change it up at this event - she still stuck to the straight hair, pastel gown theme but I loved her embellished Prada gown.

Rashida Jones in Tory Burch - 2012 White House Correspondants Dinner

Rashida Jones wore a Tory Burch Fall 2012 dress to the 2012 White House Correspondants Dinner.

Rashida always wears colourful gowns on the red carpet - something that I love!  She looked good in this printed gown with a peplum.

Kerry Washington in Calvin Klein - 2012 White House Correspondants Dinner

Kerry Washington attended the 2012 White House Correspondants Dinner in a Calvin Klein gown.

Kerry worked her tried and tested minimalism mantra in this peach Calvin Klein gown with full sleeves.  I loved her high ponytail.

Eva Longoria in Marchesa - 2012 White House Correspondants Dinner

Eva Longoria wore a Marchesa Fall 2012 dress to the 2012 White House Correspondants Dinner.

Eva has been a Marchesa loyalist for many years so it wasn't a surprise to see her in a dress from a fresh collection.  She looked good in the high neck dress with an embellished bodice and a drop-waist. 

Those black pumps felt clunky; this dress would have looked nicer with sleek, dainty sandals.

Sofia Vergara in David Meister - 2012 White House Correspondants Dinner

Funny lady Sofia Vergara attended this year's White House Correspondants Dinner in Washington.

The 'Modern Family' actress changed it up in a David Meister dress.  It was definitely refreshing to see her in something that wasn't body-hugging or a gown.

I thought she looked lovely in the strapless LBD with a jewelled waistband.

Anna Paquin in Herve Leroux - 2012 White House Correspondants Dinner

Anna Paquin attended the 2012 White House Correspondants Dinner.

The pregnant 'True Blood' star wore a black jersey Herve Leroux dress with cut outs in the back; it was an elegant look despite those cut outs.

Viola Davis in Amsale - 2012 White House Correspondants Dinner

Viola Davis wore a dress by Amsale for the 2012 White House Correspondants Dinner.

I like the burnt orange shade on her and the dress itself too - there's nothing to hate!

Rosario Dawson in Armani Privé - 2012 White House Correspondants Dinner

Rosario Dawson attended the 2012 White House Correspondants Dinner last night.

She wore an iridescent Armani Privé gown in a teal colour.  She lookes great - the hair and make-up are spot on but there's too much cleavage on show.

Ginnifer Goodwin in H&M - 2012 White House Correspondents' Dinner

Ginnifer Goodwin supported the high-street at the 2012 White House Correspondents' Dinner.

She wore an H&M gown that had a white bodice, a black waistband and a very ruffled skirt. While I didn't mind the dress itself, the unfinished ruffles near the hem looked bad.


I did love her make-up, though.  Especially the eyes.

Alicia Keys in Diane von Furstenburg - 2012 White House Correspondents' Dinner

Alicia Keys was, unfortunately, the worst-dressed at the this year's White House Correspondents' Dinner.

She totally missed the mark in a mustard Diane Von Furstenburg silk dress which she paired with black tights (that really didn't do well in front of the camera lights).

The belt, shoes, clutch (even if it is Valentino) - nothing worked.  The dress itself isn't bad, but when you're attending a formal event at the White House, you really need to put in some thought and effort.

Cobie Smulders in Reem Acra - 'The Avengers' NYC Premiere

Cobie Smulders wore a beautiful Reem Acra gown to the premiere of 'The Avengers' at the Tribeca Film Festival in NYC.

The tangerine gown with a plunging neckline, and embellished cap sleeves really made her blue eyes pop.  I loved her choice of accessories too - especially that gold cuff.

Freida Pinto in Gucci - 'Trishna' Premiere

Freida Pinto suited up for the Tribeca Film Fest premiere of her latest movie, 'Trishna'.

She wore a black shirt with a raspberry-red Gucci Pre-Fall 2012 suit consisting of a blazer and cropped pants.

I loved this collection and the fact that Freida wore the butterfly brooch.  A retro updo (love), pink lips, a Fendi baguette and black suede pumps completed her brilliant look.

Leighton Meester in Marchesa - Harry Winston Shanghai Store Opening

Leighton Meester attended the grand opening of the Harry Winston store in Shanghai yesterday.  Ed Westwick was also present.

If you watch 'Gossip Girl' then you'd know why Leighton and Ed were there; in season three of the show, Ed's character planned on proposing to Leighton's character - the ring was from Harry Winston.

Leighton looked charming in a black tulle Marchesa dress which had a lace bodice and cap-sleeves.  She wore it with wavy hair and Christian Louboutin pumps; the finishing touch was a diamond necklace of course.

Emily VanCamp in Katharine Kidd - 'Revenge' Tokyo Press Conference

'Revenge' star Emily VanCamp attended the press conference for her show in Tokyo yesterday.  I recently began watching 'Revenge' and I am hooked. Watch it.

She looked pretty in a neutral toned Katharine Kidd Spring 2012 dress without sleeves and with a sheer neckline.

The short hemline showed how tall Emily is, and the nude sandals lengthened her legs even more.  Colour was added via her nails.

Heidi Klum in Dolce & Gabbana - Empire State Building Lighting Ceremony Honoring Bone Marrow Donors

Heidi Klum posed atop the Empire State building in NYC on Thursday; she was there to light up the building in honour of bone marrow donors.

She wore a spotted Dolce & Gabbana dress with three-quarter sleeves.  It was a pretty dress but the short hemline felt a little inappropriate for the event - something more conservative would have been a better choice.

That being said, I loved her sleek bun, and red lipstick; she also wore cap-toe Louboutins.

Rashida Jones in Ann Taylor & Stella McCartney - Digitas & The Third Act Present NewFront

Rashida Jones attended the Digitas & The Third Act Present NewFront 2012 in NYC on Thursday. 

She was business-chic but ladylike in a buttoned up Ann Taylor shirt, tucked into a floral Stella McCartney skirt.

She kept her look simple, just wearing hoop earrings and black pumps.

Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad - 'American Idol'

After the gold rush, Jennifer Lopez reverted to sequins for her appearance as a judge on 'American Idol'.

She donned an LBD with a high neck, full sleeves and a back cut-out from the Zuhair Murad Spring 2012 Couture collection.

This a better look for her, despite the short hemline.  An updo and ankle-strap Louboutins completed her look.

Jennifer Lopez in Temperley London & Michael Kors - 'American Idol'

Jennifer Lopez wore a Temperley London jacket and Michael Kors pants for her turn on 'American Idol' last week.

I'm sure most of you agree with me when I say that this look is tacky.  There is an overload of sequins and gold and her tummy is showing.

Not her best look.

Camilla Belle in Carven - 2012 Tribeca Film Festival Awards

Camilla Belle brightened up the red carpet at the Tribeca Film Festival Awards, held at the Conrad Hotel in NYC.

It was a colourful, printed Carven Fall 2012 dress for her, worn with red Christian Louboutin pumps.

Some might not like this dress for being bold and bright but I have a never ending love affair with colours.  I loved the combination of Camilla's dark locks with this dress.

Charlize Theron in Dion Lee - 2012 CinemaCon Big Screen Achievement Awards

Charlize Theron was a knock-out at the 2012 CinemaCon Big Screen Achievement Awards where she was honoured with the Distinguished Decade in Film Award.

Charlize wore a beautiful dress by Australian designer Dion Lee, from his Fall 2012 collection.

The black illusion dress with almost invisible mesh looked super hot on Charlize.  It's her usual mantra of an LBD and black sandals but who's complaining when this is the result?

Chloe Moretz in Kenzo - 2012 CinemaCon Big Screen Achievement Awards

Chloe Moretz attended the 2012 CinemaCon Big Screen Achievement Awards in Las Vegas last night where she was given the Female Star of Tomorrow award.

Chloe looked adorable in a violet, jacquard Kenzo Pre-Fall 2012 dress with a red medallion pattern.  This is what I admire about Chloe - she is always age-appropriate but has fun with clothes and is never stuck in a rut.

A cute hairstyle and Jimmy Choo sandals were the completing touches.

Jennifer Garner in Michael Kors - 2012 CinemaCon Big Screen Achievement Awards

Jennifer Garner stepped out for the second time this week as she attended the 2012 CinemaCon Big Screen Achievement Awards where she was presented the Female Star of the Year award.

She wore a belted Michael Kors dress, which was punctuated with gold hardware.  It was surprising to see Jennifer in something edgy as she tends to prefer softer dresses that have sequins, tulle or lace.  

Nevertheless, she looked great in it.  Even if her choice of footwear felt mismatched;  I guess black pumps would have been boring though, so I'll let this one pass.

Heidi Klum in Temperley London - 6th Annual DKMS Linked Against Blood Cancer Gala

Heidi Klum sparkled on the red carpet at the 6th Annual DKMS Linked Against Blood Cancer Gala at Cipriani Wall Street in NYC last night.

The supermodel looked jaw-droppingly amazing in a Temperley London Spring 2012 gown.  he gown's shade was beautiful, and the slinky silhouette and delicate embellishments were gorgeous.

She completed the look with an intricate updo and added some chandelier earrings.

Dakota Fanning in Elie Saab - 6th Annual DKMS Linked Against Blood Cancer Gala

Dakota Fanning wore yet another neutral coloured dress (an Elie Saab Fall 2011 Couture, no less) at the DKMS Linked Against Blood Cancer Gala.

I don't get it. She's so young, yet she chooses such boring shades that it's frustrating.   I love me some Elie Saab Haute Couture but this dress is so dated on Dakota.

The hair was dull as always and the make-up uninspiring.

Solange Knowles in Stephane Rolland - 6th Annual DKMS Linked Against Blood Cancer Gala

Solange Knowles wore a gorgeous Stephane Rolland Spring 2012 Couture dress for the 6th Annual DKMS Linked Against Blood Cancer Gala in NYC.

She killed it in the ivory silk-jersey gown with gazar and a petal-like structure around the waist.

While I liked the slicked back hairstyle, the make-up felt lack-lustre.  Her face needed some pink lipstick.

Coco Rocha in Jason Wu - 6th Annual DKMS Linked Against Blood Cancer Gala

Coco Rocha attended the 6th Annual DKMS Linked Against Blood Cancer Gala last night.

The model wore a Jason Wu Spring 2012 design with a white, houndstooth print bodice and a sweet pink skirt with the trendy peplum.

Everything worked for, including hair & make-up me until I saw her feet.  Pairing the ankle-boot monstrosity with such a pretty dress was criminal.

Cameron Diaz in Rachel Roy - Picture Pioneers Foundation Dinner

Cameron Diaz attended the Picture Pioneers Foundation dinner at Caesers Palace in Las Vegas two nights ago.  The event honoured DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg.

Cameron wore a black Rachel Roy dress which had an asymmetrical neckline and a hemline too.  She wore it with red lipstick and Lanvin ankle-strap heels.

It's a simple and classy look from Cameron but I sorely miss her longer tresses.

Kate Middleton in Rebecca Taylor - Goldsmith Hall Visit

The Duchess of Cambridge visited Goldsmith Hall in London with husband Prince William today.

She wore a blue coloured tweet skirt-suit by Rebecca Taylor;  blue is one of her favourite colours so it was no surprise to see her in this.

Matching accessories completed her look which included an Anya Hindmarch clutch.

Jennifer Morrison in Donna Karan - 'Knife Fight' Premiere

Jennifer Morrison walked the red carpet for the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of the movie 'Knife Fight'.

She wore a black and white jumpsuit from the Donna Karan Pre-Fall 2012 collection.  It was slick, to the point and made an impact.

Jennifer wore her hair in a ponytail rather than wearing it in stiff waves/pin-straight hair which I liked.  Also loved those gold and turquoise earrings.
