Salma Hayek in Bottega Veneta - 'Prometheus' London Premiere

Salma Hayek brought the essence of summer at the London premiere of 'Prometheus'.

She wore a lavender coloured Bottega Veneta Fall 2012 sheath that featured a high neck, cap sleeves and purple sequins.

On the runway the dress was presented in a moody fashion, but I'm glad Salma wore it how she did - those purple accessories really liven up the whole look.  

Also, love the high ponytail and tear drop studs.

Noomi Rapace in Valentino - 'Prometheus' London Premiere

For the premiere of 'Prometheus' in London, Noomi Rapace wore a Valentino Fall 2012 dress.

If not Charlize, then it had to be Noomi wearing a black dress.  But I do like this sparkling black gown with a plunging neckline and intricate beading.

She completed her look with a messy updo and dainty jewelery.  Simple but elegant.

Charlize Theron in Christian Dior - 'Prometheus' London Premiere

Charlize Theron attended the premiere of 'Prometheus' in London tonight.

She was beautiful, in a midnight blue, sparkling Christian Dior Couture dress.  It was a welcome break from all her black dresses during the 'Snow White and the Huntsman' promotional tour. I wonder if she'll favour blue during this promotional trail, as she did attended a Paris photocall in this in April.

She wore her hair in a relaxed manner and completed the look with fresh make-up and strappy heels by Dior.

Alexa Chung in Moschino - 2012 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition

Alexa Chung wore a Moschino Fall 2012 dress to the Royal Academy Summer exhibition opening in London last evening.

The black and white dress with gold button detail was charming and sweet on Alexa, who wore it with simple ankle-strap black pumps.

But what caught my attention was her cute Charlotte Olympia 'Flamingo' clutch. I'm obsessed with flamingos right now.

Kristen Stewart in Narciso Rodriguez - 'The Today Show' Appearance

Kristen Stewart appeared on 'The Today Show' today for the promotion of 'Snow White and the Huntsman'.

She looked slick, in a figure-hugging Narciso Rodriguez Fall 2012 dress.  The knee-length grey dress had a pop of lime green silk on the bodice along with black shoulder straps.

She looked edgy yet sophisticated, with her signature messy hair and simple black pumps (Louboutin 'Pigalle').

Kristen Stewart in Stella McCartney - 'Snow White and the Huntsman' LA Premiere

Kristen Stewart was back on the red rug, this time for the Hollywood premiere of 'Snow White and the Huntsman'. Believe, I too thought that the premieres for this movie were over.

She wore a white button down with a flirty black skirt (Fall 2012) and an oversized blazer, all by Stella McCartney.  This neutral look was a welcome break from all the gowns she had been sporting at Cannes.

As usual, her make-up was beautiful.  She completed her look with platform pumps by Stella McCartney.

Lea Michele in Zac Posen - 2012 Glamour Women of the Year Awards

Lea Michele really brought the glamour to the Glamour Women of the Year Awards in London on Tuesday night.

She wore a dark blue Zac Posen gown with a romantic, draped off-shoulder neckline and looked wonderful.  The heavy make-up worked for her here and I'm glad she wore her hair in a ponytail to show off those stunning Lorraine Schwartz earrings.

Naomi Watts in Versace - 2012 Glamour Women of the Year Awards

Naomi Watts was some what of a surprise at the UK Glamour Women of the Year Awards.

I was expecting to see something by Stella McCartney on her but she wore this structured and embellished Versace Fall 2012 dress.  The backless dress was new for Naomi as it was more edgy.

A soft, side ponytail and fresh make-up completed her look.

Jessica Alba in Alexander McQueen - 2012 Glamour Women of the Year Awards

Jessica Alba was present at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards in London on Tuesday night.

She wore a black lace and ruffle Alexander McQueen Spring 2012 dress with pleated tiers.  It is a pretty dress but felt dark and heavy for the warm weather.

Also, the dark lips and nails trend is being overdone at the moment.  It's a pretty trend but more appropriate for fall.

Eva Longoria in Victoria Beckham - 2012 Glamour Women of the Year Awards

Eva Longoria attended the UK Glamour Women of the Year Awards in Victoria Beckham, of course.

After a stylish run at Cannes, we expect nothing but the best from Eva and she delivered, in this sleek, tangerine sheath with a silver zip in the back.

The ponytail and fresh make-up were lovely too.  She completed her look with a Ferregamo box clutch and nude Brian Atwood pumps with a think ankle-strap.

Sofia Vergara in Zac Posen - 2012 Glamour Women of the Year Awards

Ms. Sofia Vergara attended the Glamour Women of the Year Awards in Zac Posen.

She looked colourful in the strapless dress but I really don't like Sofia's choice of jewelery somehow, it's always gaudy and out there.  The jewelery demands attention when it should be the dress doing that.

Shoes were boring, as was the hair.

Lily Collins in Alexander McQueen - 2012 Glamour Women of the Year Awards

Lily Collins was in attendance at the UK Glamour Women of the Year Awards in London last night.

She was charming in a forest green, jacquard Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2012 dress with a rounded, strapless bodice and a flared skirt.

Her dark hair was beautiful with the dress and she added colour via the dark red lipstick.  Now only if she'd worn bolder shoes...

Diane Kruger in Jenny Packham - Cannes Film Festival Winners Dinner

After the closing ceremony Diane Kruger changed into a Jenny Packham Fall 2012 dress for the Winners Dinner at the Cannes Film Festival.

The cream and black dress with full sleeves was a more subdued and comfortable choice for her and she looked relaxed by the side of boyfriend Joshua Jackson.

She kept her hair and make-up the same for the evening.

'City of Style' Book Launch

The launch of the book 'City of Style' was attended by Mandy Moore, Minka Kelly and Kristen Bell in LA last Wednesday.  As the event was held at the 3.1 Phillip Lim store, the ladies were decked in clothes by the label.

Mandy Moore wore a bright blue dress with a beaded collar by 3.1 Phillip Lim; the colour was fresh but the length of the dress was awkward.

Minka Kelly looked sweet in a loose fitting raspberry pink dress with a keyhole neckline which she paired with fine gold jewelery.  I wish she'd swapped those nude pumps for some sandals.

Kristen Bell wore a swingy, peach hued dress with three pleats in the front.  I love this colour, it's quintessentially summer and how she paired it with mint coloured ShoeMint pumps.  Her hair wasn't boring either but I would've liked to see a sleek ponytail.

Coach Event to Benefit the Children's Defense Fund

Coach hosted the Children's Defense Fund in LA last Wednesday.

Kristen Bell looked cute in a printed blue dress by A.L.C which she toughened up with a leather jacket.  Instead of her trademark wavy style, she wore her hair in a braided updo.

Malin Akerman wore a textured LBD with sheer fabric, leather and velvet too.  It seems like an awkward match but she looked good.  A top knot and colourful Giuseppe Zanotti sandals completed her look.

Nikki Reed showed off her tan in a grey shift dress with a collar.  Her dress was brightened up with a turquoise Coach bag and white pumps.

Diane Kruger in Christian Dior - Cannes Film Festival Closing Ceremony

Diane Kruger made sure to go out with a bang at the closing ceremony of this year's Cannes Film Festival.  

She wore a tremendous Christian Dior Spring 2012 Couture gown with a super voluminous skirt.  The actual fabric and design on the gown was relatively simple but the skirt really made this one special.

Diane wore it with her usual ease and grace, finishing the look with a simple high ponytail, diamond earrings and glossy pink gloss.  This definitely was the mother of all the dresses seen on the red carpet this year.

Audrey Tatou in Prada - Cannes Film Festival Closing Ceremony

Audrey Tatou made her only red carpet appearance on the last night of the Cannes Film Festival.  It was also the premiere of her movie 'Therese Desqueyroux'.

She evoked a vintage feel from her look which consisted of a cream Prada cocktail dress with an embroidered bodice and a full skirt.  It was rather simple but that is Audrey's style.

Her hair was divine and fell around her face like a cloud, it really added charm to her look.  Blush cheeks and nude pumps were all that she required.

Kylie Minogue in Roberto Cavalli - Cannes Film Festival Closing Ceremony

Australian pop star Kylie Minogue attended the closing ceremony of the 2012 Cannes Film Festival.

For the night, she opted for a soft, classic look by wearing this lavender chiffon Roberto Cavalli gown.  There was nothing worth criticising in this look from her but it paled in comparison to what we saw on Diane Kruger.

Sonam Kapoor in Alexander McQueen - Cannes Film Festival Closing Ceremony

Sonam Kapoor made her highly anticipated red carpet appearance on the last night of the Cannes Film Festival, it was also the night of the premiere of 'Therese Desqueyroux', starring Audrey Tatou.

After last year's look, I have to say, I was a little underwhelmed by this appearance.  However, after my initial reaction subsided, I was able to see the beauty of this Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2012 dress.

The high neck dress had sheer sleeves with ruffles and an embroidered bodice and skirt.  There was beauty, drama and mystique to this look and Sonam played up the dark romance with her hair and red lips.
