Last Night's Looks: LACMA Art & Film Gala 2012

With her new brunette hair in a sleek up-do, Amber Heard wore a Gucci Spring 2013 little black dress with a detailed gold and black embellished neckline. She added a pair of black Gucci 'Lisbeth' heels with the delicate three strap look. This dress looks particularly difficult to pull off - not just because its straight cut but also because that neckline is so bold - but Amber certainly manages it. She looks fabulously chic!

The LACMA Art & Film Gala 2012 was held last night and as always with these big events, I wanted to share some of my favourite red carpet looks, as well as some that are.... interesting to say the least! The event was held to honour Ed Ruscha and Stanley Kubrick and presented by Gucci, with the majority of the female attendees wearing a piece from the designers' most recent collections.

Let me know what you think of the looks in the comments below!

Evan Rachel Wood looks beautifully elegant in this one-of-a-kind Gucci frock. The nude and rose gold palette works perfectly for her skin tone and hair colour; and the bold eye make-up gives the look some depth and dramatic edge. Paired with a Gucci box clutch and Gucci rosegold heels, the natural up-do with her flowing blonde hair pulls the whole outfit together. Beautiful and en-trend all at the same time!

Rosie Huntington Whiteley chose a floorlength mint dress with ruffle detail around the neckline from Gucci's Spring 2013 collection, which she paired with Gucci ankle strap sandals and a Gucci box clutch. Rosie styled her look very similarly to the way the brand showcased their outfit on the runway earlier this year with the centre parting bun and make-up. The dress is very straight down, which she is lucky enough to be able to rock, but there is a lot of side boob with this dress which ruins what is otherwise a nice look!

Cameron Diaz wore a Gucci Spring 2013 dress paired with Gucci black ankle-strap heels and a chunky clutch bag. The dress itself is lovely with the oversized sleeves, synched in waist and detailed neckline but the fit just doesn't seem to work for her body shape and I don't think she styled it particularly well with the black heels and clutch, messy up-do and interesting make-up palette - it seems a bit all over the place, almost thrown together.

Looks I Love: 2012 ESPY's


Hayden Panettiere looked rather glamorous in a floor length strapless Giorgio Armani gown which was backless and partially sheer - a lot for one dress! The embellishments on the dress combined with the great selection of Bulgari jewelry and flowing blonde hair make her look almost like a modern Disney princess. Her make-up is flawless, she's posing like a supermodel and the dress suits her figure perfectly - a great outfit!


Maria Sharapova looked fab in a J.Mendel Resort 2013 gown which she paired with Jimmy Choo's and Lara Bohnic jewels. I think it can sometimes be difficult for female sports stars to look good in red carpet dresses - their figures and muscles in particular aren't really designed for in the fashion industry. I do think that Maria looks incredible here though - its showing just enough of her figure to look great without going to high up the leg and seeing the thigh muscles or too low in the sides to see her stomach muscles.


Jessica Biel walked the carpet in all white wearing a Christian Dior Resort 2013 mini dress which she paired with Nicholas Kirkwood for Roksanda Ilincic heels. I love the bell shaped skirt as it makes her legs look endlessly long and thin and defines her waist. The slick hair-do with the side bangs is interesting but works at keeping this outfit neutral. I also love the neon yellow heel - it gives a real kick of life to the outfit although I perhaps think a statement necklace wouldn't have been amiss.

Last Night's Look: 2012 Kids Choice Awards

Ashley Tisdale wore a strapless red Kymerah dress with an up-down hem, B by Brian Atwood 'Cassaine' Heels, an Edie Parker clutch, Le Vian Earrings and a Hellmuth ring. I like how the look has been put together with the black hints drawing the outfit together, although I'm not too sure about the shoes - they're fun but I don't know if they work in this outfit (or the pink streak in her hair with the red dress...).

One of the things I really love about the Kids Choice Awards is the varied looks people go for - there's uber casual stars rocking jeans and a tee, whilst others are full glamour with floorlength gowns and heels! There are also a huge variety of stars there from TV, music, sport, film and more - people from all walks of life!

This year's looks were very varied so I thought I'd pick a few of the more interesting outfits to share with you! What was your favourite look from the Kids Choice Awards this year? Let me know in the comments!

Jada Pinkett Smith (whose husband Will Smith was hosting the event) wore a a fun neon pink Catherine Malandrino jumpsuit which she paired with a cropped denim jacket, Kimberly McDonald layered jewelry and Jimmy Choo Topaz Watersnake Platform Wedges. She looks so confident in that jumpsuit -and rightfully so, she looks fabulous in it and it suits her figure perfectly - and I like that she's paired it with a denim jacket - makes it more casual which is great!

Emma Stone always seems to dress perfectly for the occasion and this outfit is great - as ever! She wore a cream Antonio Berardi top and skirt, Alejandro Ingelmo flat shoes, Fendi clutch bag and Irene Neuwirth jewelry. The fact that she's wearing a top and skirt rather than a dress immediately makes the look more casual and she paired it with flats which takes it down to smart/casual again. Love this look on her figure with her hair down and the colour of the dress and shoes all matching - she looks awesome!

Last Night's Look: 2012 Academy Awards

Emma Stone wore a stunning floor-length high-necked Giambattista Valli Couture gown in a deep red colour. The dress looks sleek and sophisticated whilst the bow detail on the neckline really gives it a quirky, young twist. I like how she styled her hair up as the dress is quite busy and needs simple make-up and hair looks to not look too overdone. She also added a Louis Vuitton Clutch and Louis Vuitton jewelry to finish her outfit.

The 2012 Academy Awards were held last night (February 26th) at the Hollywood and Highland Center in Los Angeles. The creme de la creme of stars turned out including Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lopez and even the Prince and Princess of Monaco!

These are some of my favourite looks from the red carpet - what were yours?

Cameron Diaz wore a strapless floor-length Gucci Premiere gown in a very pale nude colour with Salvatore Ferragamo heels. I adore the simple bodice combined with the embellishment at the top of the skirt and the layers of fabric as it flows beautifully to the floor in an almost dreamlike manner. She paired it with a simple make-up look and added a side parting to her bob which I think looks fabulous and really brings the whole look together.


Kate Mara posed on the red carpet in a floral embellished floor-length Jack Guisso Couture gown. This looks is very romantic with the flowiness of the skirt, the pale pink colour and the draped one sleeve. I like how she's added the pale pink belt to as it helps define a figure that could have been lost in the dress otherwise. Her make-up and hair are simple but lovely however I wish she'd added a simple diamond necklace to this look because she looks very bare in the shoulder area.

Kristin Wiig wore a strapless J. Mendel Fall 2012 dress in a nude colour. I love the skirt on this dress - it looks so dreamy with its fun layers although its not the most flattering shape. As with many of the female celebs looks at the Oscars, Kristin kept her make-up very simple but I do think it would have looked great with a bolder lip or eyes to draw away from the constant nude colours. She also kept her hair very simple which works well.

Last Night's Look: 2012 Grammy Awards

Carrie Underwood wore a white floorlength backless gown by Gomez-Gracia paired with a black clutch and diamond jewelry. Embellished gowns were a bit of a theme of the evening but Carrie's was quite different with the ruggedness of her look rather than the sleek sequined looks of others. I love the messy hair style paired with the elegant gown, but dislike the bold black bag - she does look fabulous if a bit covered up!

The 2012 Grammy Awards were held last night (January 12th) at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. There were a huge variety of gowns, designers, make-up and hair styles on loads of stars from Adele to Rebecca Black! I've picked a few of my favourite looks and can't wait to hear what yours are!

Jessie J wore a completely embellished floor length Julien Macdonald gown with a mermaid style skirt and structured shape. She added a LuluGuinness signature black lips clutch to complete the look. The dress perfectly suits her (even if it does resemble a disco ball!) and I like that she kept her hair in those blunt bangs as it hits back to her normal look and styles whilst looking more red carpet glam. 

Taylor Swift wore a nude embellished Zuhair Muard gown from the Fall 2011 Runway Collection. The high neckline and capped sleeves are something I don't think we've seen Taylor in before and it really suits her - especially with that high simple bun and quite nude make-up palette. I know she wears nude dresses quite a lot but I thought this was a different look for her and one which she pulled off well.

Gwyneth Paltrow wore a floor length Stella McCartney gown with cutout detailing and a shiny gold belt. I think the gown itself is fabulous as it gives the illusion of curves to her figure whilst still looking dramatic and sexy. For this particular look, I would love to have seen her hair up in a sleek side ponytail as I think it would have complimented the belt and shape of the dress fabulously!

Tonight's Looks: 2012 BAFTA Awards

Michelle Williams looked fabulous on the orangey red carpet wearing a custom floor length strapless H&M gown inspired by their Conscious Collection. She paired it with ForeverMark jewelery and an Olympia Le-Tan clutch bag - I love that it looks like she's toting a book! I like the block colour of the black skirt and the cream corset - the shape is simple but suits her perfectly!

The 2012 BAFTA's are being held this evening at the Royal Opera House in London and the stars have turned out in force - as always! All of the women must have been freezing in those dresses though - we've barely pushed into positive temperatures this weekend! I've picked out a few of my favourite looks and would love to hear your thoughts on them too!

Penelope Cruz is probably getting the most attention for her BAFTA outfit this year - she wore a strapless floor-length Armani Prive gown in a deep red colour with sparkling diamond jewelry.I don't like the neckline of the dress at all - the straight line just doesn't work for me with her own fabulous curves. I do like the waist ruffling though!  I think her hair looks fab up and the bangs/fringe really work well! 

Fearne Cotton was covering the event for E! alongside Dermot O Leary! She wore a stunning pink floorlength Moschino gown with high neck, long sleeves and bow & embellished detailing. I am in love with this look - Fearne has quite a boyish figure and a retro, vintage style so I think this dress really suits her. I also love her hair and make-up - the big curls look fab!

Meryl Streep looked amazing (as always) in a black Vivienne Westwood  floorlength gown with embellished corset belt and bolero. I can't really blame her for wearing the cover-up though - its freezing in the UK at the moment so bring on the summer! Her up-do looks fabulous and she looks as young and sexy as ever! There are no other words!
