Beyoncé for Dazed & Confused July 2011

I have a serious crush on this cover of Beyoncé for the July issue of Dazed & Confused. She looks so good in this look from Givenchy's A/W 2011 collection - it is as if it was made specially for her. Also, the baby pink, melting ice cream is such a fun element to add, and it works so good for the photo as a whole. In general, I am loving many of Beyoncé's fashion looks at the moment; her video for "Run the world" is filled with great looks by Alexander McQueen, Emilio Pucci and Givenchy.

What do you think of this cover?

Stylish Celebrities at Guys Choice Awards 2011

Last night, it was time for the Spike TV's 5th Annual 2011 Guys Choice Awards was held in Culver City. Three lovely ladies caught my eye when it came to gorgeous outfits; Mila Kunis, Eva Mendes and Rosie huntington-Whitely. Mila Kunis wore a dress by Givenchy together with Louboutin heels and a clutch by Bottega Veneta. Mixing different patterns is something that I never grow tired of. It is beautiful how well the outfit works with these two different prints together, and also how the orange clutch brings a pop of colour and excitement to the outfit as a whole.

Eva Mendes had chosen a lavender gown by Roland Mouret. Her accessories for the evening were heels by Tabitha Simmons, a vintage, gold statement necklace by YSL and a black Chanel clutch. Eva Mendes always looks great both on and off the red carpet, and this is no exception. The colour of the dress is perfect for Eva, and the cut is so elegant and sophisticated.

Rosie Huntington-Whitely wore a white dream of a dress by The Row. In addition, she had chosen heels from Brian Atwood and a clutch by Salvatore Ferragamo. Rosie has proved before that she can wear very sexy dresses without looking vulgar (think of her Burberry look at the MET Gala last month). This look is such a show-stopper. And while talking about The Row, I really do hope that Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen win the Swarovski Award for Womenswear at the CFDA Awards tomorrow night.

Who's outfit do you like the best?

The 2011 MET Gala: Liv Tyler in Givenchy

I was very happy to see a dress from Givenchy's S/S 2011 Haute Couture collection. I wish that more the stars that attended had gone for more bold statement pieces such as this - this is the kind of gowns we want to see. Ahh, maybe next year. Anyway, I am so happy to see Liv Tyler in this dress. She wears it without a flaw. It looks as if it was made for her. I adore how she has teamed the dress with a little yellow clutch to match the detailing of the back. Simply stunning.

Who were your favourites of the night?

Kate Moss for Vogue Paris May 2011

There is no shortage when it comes to Kate Moss decorating magazine covers this May. Along with both the covers of Vogue Japan and UK Harper's Bazaar, Kate Moss has landed the cover for Vogue Paris this coming month. On the cover, shot by Mert & Marcus, Kate is wearing a jacket from the Armani Privé S/S 2011 collection. I have read very mixed opinions about this cover over at The Fashion Spot; some saying they love the red background mixed with the blue and white, while others say they hate the hands that pull Kate.

Kate is also featured in an editorial inside the magazine, styled by Emmanuelle Alt, where she wears couture pieces. The editorial consists of mix of black and white photos, and brightly coloured 90s inspired shots. I especially love the shot of her in the stunning swan dress by Ricardo Tisci from the Givenchy S/S 2011 Haute Couture collection.

What are your opinions about the cover? And do you like Kate's editorial?

PFW A/W 2011: Givenchy Look 42

Dark, elegant silhouettes inspired by panthers, was the theme Riccardo Tisci went for with his A/W 2011 collection for Givenchy. Fitted pencil skirts and looser jackets and jumpers took over the runway. The looks were mostly black with prints in green, purple and yellow, and here and there a print of a panther's head showed up.

Amongst all the dark, it seemed as if Tisci wanted to add a radiant light of sunshine. An all yellow look; an element of surprise which shows that you do not have to leave the shocking bright colours behind when entering the autumn and winter season. I think I have to say that this is my favourite look from the collection, though the full A/W 2011 collection was brilliant.

Cate Blanchett in Givenchy Couture S/S 2011

Cate Blanchett in a haute couture gown by Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy was one of the best matches of the evening. Back in late January, I fell head over heels in love with this couture collection as the detailing is absolutely exquisite. This "Tao" dress was one of my favourites. The reason why is because of the lavender and yellow teamed together (such a fresh and exciting combination!) and the contrast between the tough and bold shoulders and the delicate details and fabric.

Alongside my immense hope of seeing an Elie Saab gown last night, I was also hoping to see some Givenchy couture. And I am so happy that Cate was the one to make the bold fashion statement as she is the perfect woman for such dresses. She really lifted the level of fashion last night, and I adore her so much doing that.

Natalie Portman in Givenchy

As mentioned in the last post, the 2011 Film Independent Spirit Awards was held yesterday, and another lovely and incredible actress who attended was Natalie Portman. She wore a gorgeous yellow and beige piece from the Givenchy Haute Couture collection, which showed off her beautiful stomach. Together with it she wore Stella McCartney heels and jewelry by Cartier. I really hope, and think, that she will win the award as best actress at the Oscars tonight. She really deserves to have this moment.

Givenchy Haute Couture Spring 2011

I feel like no words can give the Givenchy Haute Couture Spring '11 collection any justice. The pieces are beyond incredible, with the exquisite detailing and the elegant symmetry created by the master and fashion genius, Ricardo Tisci. His inspiration for the couture collection is based on a concert held by Antony and the Johnsons as a tribute for the deceased japanese dancer Kazuo Ohno. Tisci told style.com that Ohno became a kind of muse for him. "Ohno provided the romance, the melancholy, and the palette (the colour of dried flowers)".

Together with this japanese elegance and softness, Tisci has worked in the elements that many of us links with Japan: electronics, and especially robots. The headpieces and the shoes are proof of this. This combination of new and old, hard and soft fascinates me deeply. Ricardo Tisci really is an amazingly talented designer.
