Stars who went Grecian at the Emmy’s

They’re known to be the symbols of beauty, charm, elegance, and sophistication. Thus, it is no wonder why even Hollywood stars all go gaga to don on that Grecian looks in the red carpets to exude the same image as those deities present.

In the recently held, Emmy’s, let’s take a look at those stars who opt to be goddesses in their Grecian gowns.

Leighton Meester



Choosing to wear a draped gown with ancient appeal, Emmy presented Leighton Meester is all in her Greek deity look with her layered Bottega Veneta gown. But while she indeed looked drop dead gorgeous here, I think this gown would have been better sans the over accentuated shoulders.

Cat Deeley



So You Think You Can Dance’s Cat Deeley flattered her figure in a draped, single-shoulder Alberta Ferretti gown with a fitted bodice. I love the gown’s draperies although I’m afraid it just blended too well on Cat’s complexion that it didn’t seem to stand out.

Kate Walsh



Private Practice star Kate Walsh was simply elegant in a flowing J. Mendel gown in the lightest shade of gray. The miss part I found here is the hair that did not go with the Grecian look.

Oh well, sophisticated and glamorous did the looks turn out, I figure nobody from this ‘category’ hit their looks perfectly. How about we check the other looks on the next post…

Designers the celebrities heart

Everybody loves to play favorites; even the stars! Celebrity fashion wise, Hollywood celebs also have their own favorite designers to wear. Wonder who’s who of the who’s who’s? Check out these designers and the stars who love to wear them.

1. Versace

Who in Hollywood does not love this designer?! From red carpets to parties to any other events, everybody from the A-list sure loves the Italian designer. In fact, if you are a starlet and would want to be part of the “it” circle, showing up in public often with a designer from Versace would sure help you get noticed.

The faces who love Versace: Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry, Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé Knowles, and Eva Longoria to name a few.

2. Hervé Léger

From fashion house Max Azria, stars who want to flaunt their to-die-for figure definitely have Hervé Léger on their minds. And yes, even if they have to spend a whooping £1,300 for a bandage dress, it still is creating a stir in the celeb fashion scene.

Some stars who heart Hervé Léger include Katy Perry, Hayden Panettiere, Jessica Simpson, Rachel Weisz, and Victoria Beckham.

3. Marc Jacobs

Talk about designer to the celebs, Marc Jacobs sure has a lot of celebrity supporters that obviously heart him to death! His designs always seem to be timeless in terms of elegance, class, and glamour.

Stars who love to wear the designer’s designs include Courtney Cox-Arquette, Leighton Meester, Anne Hathaway, and Becki Newton.

What world of fashion and favorites that is, huh?!

Designer in Focus: Jimmy Choo

This is actually an article I posted on my previous blog (Celebrity Fashion) few months ago. Since the blog seems to no longer exist, I thought I might as well repost it here.




They say that behind a successful man is a woman. In fashion, behind every stars’ hits is their designer. So to pay due recognition to the people behind the celebrities’ fabulous fashion statements, I bring you the category called, Designer in Focus.

As kick off to this category, I bring you Jimmy Choo.

Born Jimmy Choo Yeang Keat, Dato' Jimmy Choo OBE or Jimmy Choo for short is a London-based luxury fashion designer best known for his hand-made women's shoes, Jimmy Choo Ltd.

Born to a family of shoemakers (so you ever wonder where he got his talent), Jimmy is a Malaysian citizen of Hakka Chinese descent. At 11, Jimmy was able to make his very first shoe.

Graduating at Cordwainers’ Technical College in Hackney, London (now part of the London College of Fashion) in 1983, Jimmy can be considered one of the most famous graduates of the school. But going through college have not been easy for our brilliant designer; he had to work part-time at restaurants and as a cleaner at a shoe factory to help fund his college education.

From a humble beginning, Jimmy’s name rose to fame when his creations were featured in a record eight pages in a 1988 issue of Vogue magazine. This was then boosted by the patronage of late Diana, Princess of Wales in the 1990s.

In 1996, together with British Vogue accessories editor, Tamara Mellon, Jimmy co-founded his famous Jimmy Choo Ltd.

From mere shoe-making, Jimmy has broadened his field venturing in clothes design to what is now known as the Jimmy Choo Couture line produced under license from Jimmy Choo Ltd. From the ready-to-wear line, it has also expanded to accessories that include handbags.

Here are some of the stars wearing Choo’s designs:

People’s 10 Best Dressed named

They are the ones who survived, outwitted, and totally outfashioned their fellow celebrities. Finally, People releases its list of their 10 Best Dressed this year to bring you the stars who the mag thinks really stood out and stepped their best foot forward in the fashion arena.

Check out the top fashionistas this year:

Best Red Carpet



Looks like Kate Winslet’s bagging more than her Best Actress awards this year. Whether in Narciso Rodriguez or YSL, the stunning beauty definitely does not miss in showing off her curves matched with utter glamour. I love the fact that Kate embraces her assets and isn’t scared at all to showcase what she’s got in terms of fashion.

Best Accessible Glamour



Wearing everything from Gap and J.Crew to Michael Kors and Narciso Rodriguez, US’s First Lady, Michelle Obama proves that fashion isn’t all about the glitters and the blings. Michelle sure inspires housewives out there not to be step out from their closet and look their best.

Best Maternity Style



I’ve always been really blunt about how I love Nicole Richie’s fashion statement and when she got pregnant and still stepped out the fashionista in her, I know she is so going to make the list!

Best Short Dresses



Looking great as always showing off her fabulous legs, Reese Witherspoon bagged the award for Best Short Dresses. I think the actress got this recognition for the fact that this isn’t something we usually see in her.

Best Jeans



Tagged by Rachel Zoe as the ultimate denim girl, would we still be shocked for Cameron Diaz to get this category? She’s probably one of those stars who can carry a jean with such glamour and grace!
