The 2011 Cannes Film Festival: Sarah Jessica Parker

Watching the stars at Cannes and what they all are wearing is a pure delight these days. I love a bit of French glitz and glamour. The highlight so far has without a doubt been Sarah Jessica Parker's fashion moments. First, for the 'I Don't Know How She Does It' party, she wore this gorgeous, summery dress from the Dolce & Gabbana S/S 2011 collection. I love how she has piled on lots of pearl necklaces - very Carrie Bradshaw. Also, I like the sparkle and elegance of her waistbelt against the sweet, bohemian dress.

Later in the evening, for the Wu Xia premiere, SJP changed from her D&G dress to a beautiful, floral-printed gown from Elie Saab's A/W 2011 collection. It wasn't one of my favourite dresses from the collection, but seeing it here on SJP made me go: 'Wow!' She looks absolutely stunning in it. This look proves her true style icon status.

The 2011 MET Gala: Sarah Jessica Parker in McQueen

Sarah Jessica Parker was one of the lucky ones who got to wear a piece designed by Alexander McQueen. The dress is taken from McQueen's Fall 2005 collection, where the inspiration for the whole collection was mainly the 60s and iconic women such as Marilyn Monroe, and Hitchcock heroines. When seeing Sarah Jessica Parker in this dress, I had a feeling of that it had found it's rightful owner. It fits her like a hand in a glove, and she embodies the glamour and the confidence to really pull it off. She is a true McQueen woman.

Do you like Sarah Jessica Parker in this McQueen gown?

The 10 Best Dressed of the Week

There have been a lot of beautiful dresses out and about this week, and that suits me just fine as I adore dresses. They're one my favourite pieces of clothing (together with the blazer and a pair of fitted skinny jeans). A lot of stylish women are featured on this list, for instance Sienna Miller, Carey Mulligan and Keira Knightley - one of them with a very high ranking indeed. Read on to find out who.

10. Hilary Swank in New York before appearing on the Late Show with David Letterman

The reason why I added Hilary Swank to the list is mainly because of her amazing heels. And also how lovely the colour of the heels works together with the colour of her dress. There's something missing in this outfit, and in my opinion it's a chunky statement bracelet.

9. Sarah Jessica Parker out and about in New York

After seeing this photo of Sarah Jessica Parker, I added "an electric blue coat" to my "have to buy" list. I just love love love it! I like the way she teams it with a bright red bag and a short, tight jersey dress. I adore when SJP sports a Carrie outfit in her real life.

8. Anna Paquin attending Spike TV's Scream 2010

This printed dress is gorgeous, and just right for Anna Paquin. I think her best looks are when she goes a bit edgy. I also love how she wears chunky, simple bracelets on both wrists

7. Keira Knightley attending a photocall for "Never Let Me Go"

Fresh from the Rodarte S/S 2011 collection is this ensemble that Keira Knightley wore during the London Film Festival this week. I must say that I adore how Rodarte have combined the beige-brown lace with the blue and white printed silk. It's such an exciting combination.

6. Sienna Miller hosting the opening of Esquire House LA

I have already posted this outfit worn by Sienna, but I love her Nina Ricci dress so much that she ends up on the list anyway. The thing that I love the most about it is the way it clutches her waist, and also the pencil skirt. Such a feminine dress.



5. Carey Mulligan attending the photocall for "Never Let Me Go"

I absolutely adore Carey Mulligan in this mustard dress by Proenza Schouler. The colour suits her superbly. The black patent heels are so perfect for this dress, and I agree with her choice of not wearing any accessories. I think it have spoilt the expression of the dress.

4. Kate Bosworth attending the opening of Esquire House LA

I talked about this dress in the same post as the Nina Ricci dress worn by Sienna, but this was to good to leave out. I really like it when Kate Bosworth goes all quirky - it's a look that suits her so well! And she gets extra points for wearing such a bold dress together with bright red lips.

3. Hilary Duff before attending Live with Regis and Kelly show

I am not really a big fan of Hilary Duff's style, but sometimes she wears things that really grab my attention. This dress did exactly that. It is perfect for her figure, and the cut of the dress is so classic. The beige patent heels are perfect with the dress.

2. Eva Mendes attending the Environmental Media Awards 2010

Eva Mendes looks incredible here. She always wears the most amazing dresses! I find her always so chic, classy and sexy. She's one of my favourite clients of Rachel Zoe. And don't you just love the midnight blue heels and clutch together with the dress? I do!

1. Keira Knightley attending the London premiere of "Never Let Me Go"

I decided to award Keira Knightley with the first place this week because a) She's a wearing a stunning Chanel dress, b) Her style has become much more refined after her little break from the spotlight, c) Her new haircut is so nice and d) She's wearing an incredibly stunning Chanel dress!!!

The 10 Best Dressed of the Week

This week, simplicity is the word I would use to describe the ten best dressed. Many of the outfits are put together with very basic pieces (many in the colours black, white and grey) with few, but unique accessories. I often find these outfits the most inspiring, as they often open up for a lot of unexpected inspiration and gives you different ideas to add to your own style, instead of just being a copy cat.

10. Claudia Schiffer in London

9. Keira Knightley attending the Chanel S/S 2011 show in Paris

8. Liv Tyler attending the Stella McCartney S/S 2011 in Paris

7. Lauren Conrad at her book signing in New York

6. Sarah Jessica Parker attending the New York City Ballet Fall Gala

5. Kate Bosworth in Hollywood

4. Sienna Miller attending the opening ceremony of the 21st Dinard British Film Festival in Dinard

3. Sienna Miller in Dinard, France

2. Clemence Poesy attending the Chanel S/S 2011 show in Paris

The 10 Best Dressed of The Week


The 10 Best Dressed of The Week is a new feature here on Style Spot which will be posted every Sunday. Throughout the week, I'll be scouting for the very best outfits, and create a summary of them here. I hope you'll enjoy it!


This week, the stars have glittered in the occasion of New York Fashion Week. The Chanel Soho boutique opening attracted many beautifully dressed celebrities, with four of them ending up on this list. One gossip girl has received high fashion scores, giving her two great spots of the 10 best dressed list. Excited to see who?


10. Charlize Theron at Dior's Celebration of Fashion's Night Out

On Friday, Charlize Theron attended Dior's celebration of Fashion's Night Out looking very chic indeed. I love the use of grey and black teamed together which oozes simplicity and elegance. The cut of the black jacket is absolutely gorgeous. And I really like the element of surprise which is added by using those nude boots.


9. Alexa Chung at Alexa Chung For Madewell Launch Party

A few of you might not understand why I have put this outfit on the list, but I must admit that I have a slight weak spot for Alexa's chic granny outfits. This cream skirt is so lovely and delicate and I really like how it is worn with the long, brown cardigan and the black, patent boots.


8. Diane Krüger at the New Chanel Boutique Opening in Soho

Once again, Diane Krüger proves why she is such a style icon. It looks like this ruffle dress was made for her, and the boots seems like they were made for the dress. I love how one of the shoulders holds up the dress, while the other hangs below her shoulders. It adds such a flirty, sexy feel to the outfit.


7. Chanel Iman at the New Chanel Boutique Opening in Soho

This is one of those beautiful dresses that you dream of finding when you visit a vintage store.The shape and sequins is what makes this dress. And I adore that she wears her red Chanel bag with it because a dress like this needs a bold accessory to bring it out even more.


6. Olivia Palermo Backstage at the Ports 1961 Spring 2011 Fashion Show

Even though I am not such a huge fan of Olivia Palermo on The City, I am not going to hold that against her when it comes to the way she dresses. She does have a great talent when it comes to combining different patterns, colours and fabrics. And she always has the best accessories, especially large and stunning rings.






5. Lily Donaldson at the New Chanel Boutique Opening in Soho

This is one of those outfits that I want to copy every detail of and wear right now. I am a huge fan of contrasts in an outfit, so therefore I really like the elegant shape of Lily Donaldson's blazer teamed together with a sheer white t-shirt and torn denim shorts. And she looks so cute with her hair like that.


4. Rachel Bilson at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, Spring 2011

Lately, I have been obsessed with leather shorts, so Rachel Bilson's outfit definitely hit home. Also, her blouse is gorgeous and it reminds me of an Acne blouse that I am lusting for at the moment. To be honest though, I think it is her pink lipstick that makes me really love this outfit; it adds such a beautiful freshness!

  

3. Blake Lively at the New Chanel Boutique Opening in Soho

There is a lot of talk about Blake Lively's style; some love it and others hate it. I am one of those who most of the times love it. I often prefer her style to Leighton's, and she has hands down the best wardrobe in Gossip Girl. At the opening of the new Chanel store in Soho, Blake was glowing. Stepping out of her comfort zone (showing boobs and legs) really suits her. And the top half of this Chanel dress is perfection.

  

2. Sarah Jessica Parker at Fashion's Night Out

Those of you who have been reading Style Spot for a while know how obsessed I am with sequins, so there is no surprise why Sarah Jessica Parker is listed as a number 2. I am officially in love with her jacket! It looks so good with that lavender/baby blue dress. And her heels are crazy cool. I want!


1. Blake Lively at Fashion's Night Out

When I first saw Blake in this gorgeous, graphic Marchesa dress, I gasped out loud. The reason why is because I love it when celebrities have a yellow moment (if they wear it right that is!) The strapless top half and the floaty bottom, makes a flirty and girly dress which I am always a fan of. In the beginning, I couldn't get used to the Louboutins she is wearing, as I thought the red steals some of the attention of the dress, but now I love it as I feel it compliments it perfectly.

Maxi love

This outfit is from back in May, but I love to look at SJP's gorgeous blue maxi dress every now and again. I really like the colour and the print, and I adore how she has accessorized it. A perfect outfit for a glamorous bohemian summer night.
