Who Wore Emilio Pucci Better? Jessica Chastain or Alexa Chung


Jessica Chastain
Jessica Chastain was the first to don this black lace-sleeved velvet Emilio Pucci Fall 2011 dress with a white collar for the Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty Costume Institute Gala which took place at the Metropolitan Museum Of Art in New York City back in May.
The actress teamed the long-sleeve frock with a pair of simple black slingback Christian Louboutin heels and diamond drop earrings.
She styled her hair in a side swept updo, kohl rimmed eyes and a nude lip completed her look.
On Tuesday night, Alexa Chung wore the same dress to the Emilio Pucci new boutique launch at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City.
While the dress fits the gal’s personality (and style) more, she teamed the frock with chunky T-strap pumps that made her ensemble look too gothic.
As always, her barely there makeup and casual tresses completed her look.
This time around Jessica’s simple styling wins it for me.

Giorgio Armani Spring 2012 Press Preview


Giorgio Arman
This week I attended the Giorgio Armani press preview in London which showcased the Spring 2012 collection.
I was very excited to see one of the embellished dresses worn by the finale goddesses. This dress most definitely needs a red carpet moment.
I’m usually scared to touch things on display in fear of breaking something, but I was really curious to get my hands into the moon-crescent bodice to find answers to my questions. Would it be restrictive on the wearer? Does it have an inbuilt bra?
From my manhandling of the dresses, my findings, as I believe, are that its no more restrictive than any other corset and it doesn’t have a built in bra.

Crown Oaks Day

Sarah Jessica
Sarah Jessica Parker may have been in Melbourne, Australia for the Oaks Ladies Day 2011 Spring Carnival, but she was flying the flag for British Fashion.
The star wore a Jonathan Saunders Spring 2012 pink ombre sleeveless dress which was the perfect choice for Ladies Day.
Her dress was teamed with an Antonio Berardi Spring 2012 tailored silver coat, a string of pearls and mint green Manolo Blahnik pumps.
After wearing a hat which totally overwhelmed her yesterday, SJP opted for a bejewelled headpiece.
The piece was made by her hairdresser Serge Normat, who also styled her tresses into this elaborate bun.
This is SJP’s forth look this week.
Which one is your favourite?
Vera Wang? Chanel? Prabal Gurung? or this Jonathan Saunders dress?
