Her makeup artist for the evening was the official and talented Charlotte Tilbury.

Kate Bosworth

Kate was sparkling from head to toe in this faded crimson Dolce & Gabbana gown — very rich & luxurious! Her other look details included —

Norman Silverman Diamonds

makeup artist Pati Dubroff thought of “fireworks, disco balls and icy landscapes”, so she gave her metallic, icy-white eyes offset by soft-pink cheeks and lips. Two colors were used: Laura Mercier Velour Lovers Lip Colour in Coquette as a base, with Laura Mercier Lip Parfait Colourbalm in Raspberry Ripple on top.
Hair by Bridget Brager
Skincare regime by Touch of Faith Aesthetics by Faith Tatro

Anna was too rockin’ a sexy mini, her pick, a shades of silver, embellished Rubin Singer dress. Her accessories were a metallic Jimmy Choo clutch and matching mule sandals. She was attending the premiere of Jurassic World in Hollywood.

Best Dressed Mash-Up

Posted on May 14, 2015 by SMM

Cannes and the Billboard Music Awards are coming up, but for the time being, too many other red carpets have come and gone, and are certainly deserving of some Best Dressed nods and recognitions. I am a little scatterbrained for this list! I have Network Upfronts, major movie premieres, the BAFTAs, and more. But all in all, these are some amazing looks that I just could not overlook. Enjoy!

Sophia Bush

Sophia was attending the PEOPLE and Entertainment Weekly‘s upfront party in N.Y.C., looking lovely in this deep purple Monique Lhuillier lace dress. Paired perfectly with her look, black Stuart Weitzman sandal heels, a color coordinating Edie Parker clutch, and a few diamond pieces from Karma El Khalil Jewelry.

Anna Kendrick

I love these colors and normally I wouldn’t think to pair a cobalt blue and royal purple, but Anna makes it work. This is a phenomenal gown by Stella McCartney, complete with side cutouts. She also has accessorized well, Graziela Gems ear cuffs, rings by Melissa Kaye Jewelry, and a gold Lee Savage clutch. Anna is attending the L.A. premiere of her recent flick, Pitch Perfect 2.

Eleanor Tomlinson

I’m in feather heaven with this exquisitely feather adorned, dove grey Ralph Lauren gown. The gown and Eleanor are both a vision! Eleanor is attending the 2015 BAFTA TV Awards.

Blake Lively

Blake went on a major press tour for her recent film, The Age of Adaline. These are a few of my fave looks for her various events and red carpets!

For the film’s N.Y.C. premiere, the actress chose a bright red Monique Lhuillier dress, Judith Leiber silver Koi Fish clutch and beautiful diamond Lorraine Schwartz jewels.

For her Allure magazine cover party, she was artistically stunning in this floral appliqué Ralph & Russo couture dress — prim, pretty, and proper!

And finally, for another press related event, Blake donned this two-toned Antonio Berardi sheath with gold accents, paired perfectly with rose-gold Sophia Webster heels.

Elizabeth Hurley

Elizabeth was simply elegant while attending a charity gala benefiting the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital in London. She went with a minimalistic look, a black Emilio Pucci with a plunging neckline and diamond adorned straps.

Emma Roberts

Emma was chic and fashionable in this webbed Jonathan Simkhai crop top and skirt with black Stuart Weitzman sandal heels. She was attending Fox’s upfront party in N.Y.C.. Accessories for her look — Dana Rebecca Designs jewels and an Amanda Wakeley white clutch with gold trim.

Bella Thorne

Bella is rockin’ this black and white Naeem Khan jumpsuit — huge fan of this look! Stuart Weitzman sandal heels seem to be a theme for this best dressed list as Bella is too sportin’ a black pair, as well as Cartier jewelry. Her youthful beauty look is courtesy of Ashleigh Louer, while her overall styling is thanks to Brad Goreski.Bella is too attending the L.A. premiere for Pitch Perfect 2.

Olivia Culpo

Olivia looks super sexy and chic in this multi-colored Balmain mini. And as she likely knows, you can never go wrong when completing your look with Jimmy Choos! She is also wearing some jewelry pieces from Melinda Maria Designs. Her bronzed makeup look is by Patrick Ta, with overall styling by Jennifer Mazur. Olivia is attending Nylong Mag’s annual Young Hollywood bash!

Stefanie Scott

Stephanie is a true beauty in person. So glad to have met her a year or so ago at NYFW. I’m happy to see she is doing well. And how great does she look in this cobalt blue Guishem dress, complete with a dropped shoulder and side cutouts. I also think her accessories were spot on, black Casadei heels and Djula jewelry.

She was also at the Young Hollywood party, sponsored by BCBGeneration and be GLAMMED.

Maisie Williams

Maisie is attending the House of Fraser British Academy Television Awards in London, wearing a periwinkle lace Self-Portrait dress, ASOS white sandal heels, and Kate Spade earrings. Her cute, flowing locks were blown out by Jack Thirlway, while her youthful beauty look was created by Emma White Turle.

Vanessa Marano

And it may be just an LBD, but it’s a sexy, chic, fitted LBD for Vanessa, looking all the more amazing with her sleek pulled back ponytail and shimmery plum lip.

Round-Up Best Dressed List

Posted on April 29, 2015 by SMM

From the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner to the Radio Disney Music Awards, and finally to the 2015 Daytime Emmy’s, there were a lot of best dressed looks gracing these various red carpets. Here are some of the major fashionable highlights —

Lucy Liu

Lucy looked full on glam in this deep-V Naeem Khan gown with jet crystal beading. The fit, the sparkle, all immaculate. And completing her look, understated jewelry pieces from Lorraine Schwartz.

Jenna Dewan-Tatum

What a smashing choice for Jenna, this strapless black Reem Acra gown with a white embellished bodice — so beautiful! Her stylist Brad Goreski was spot on here, especially adding those special touches in that of the Casa Reale jewels she donned.

Jane Fonda

Jane is still proving she can do no wrong when it comes to the red carpet. She looks AMAZING in this body-hugging black Donna Karan turtleneck gown with a sequin sharkskin motif. And keeping with an all-black look, she accessorized with a Perrin Paris clutch.

Chanel Iman

Chanel was an ethereal princess in this periwinkle Zuhair Murad chiffon gown with crystal embroidery on the shoulders — such a beauty! Her stylist for this look was Christina Pacelli.

Laverne Cox

WOW! What a look for Laverne, this dove-gray Ines Di Santo gown with a V-neck and long train. She looks so classy and elegant, really workin’ this look! She accessorized her look with diamond Forevermark jewels and a metallic Jill Haber clutch.

Connie Britton

I love that Connie chose to go with a bright pop of color. She looks radiant in this berry Halston Heritage gown with a geometric peplum waistline.

Sabrina Carpenter

Very grown up and mature, yet such a classy, fashionable look for Sabrina in this nude Patricia Bonaldi embellished dress. She looks magnificently perfect! Paired with her look are some jewelry pieces by Kendra Scott.

Rumer Willis

You can’t go wrong with a sexy black jumpsuit and Rumer knows that! She also coordinated well with a great splash of color with this bright red clutch.

Kelsea Ballerini

This look for Kelsea is just so fun and flirty. I couldn’t help but include it on my best dressed list. The graphic printed Bella Bella for Ani & Ari is so imaginative and vibrant. I love it! And to complete her look with more fun and color, plum heels by Steven Madden .

DISNEY CHANNEL PRESENTS THE RADIO DISNEY MUSIC AWARDS - Entertainment's brightest young stars turned out for the 2015 Radio Disney Music Awards (RDMA), music's biggest event for families, at Nokia Theatre L.A.

(DISNEY CHANNEL/Image Group LA) KELSEA BALLERINI

FIFTH HARMONY

This is the first time I’m not seeing the ladies with an underlying coordinating trend, but still as a group, they all look great! You’ve got shine, florals, color, just the works! The only designer details I know are for Normani — makeup by Clarissa Luna and her super high ponytail is courtesy of Randy Stodghill. Her royal blue hi-lo dress is by Alice + Olivia, heels from Giueseppe Zanotti, styling team of Bobby Wesley & Erica Archibald!

Linsey Godfrey

What a breathtaking look! This boldly red Paolo Sebastian gown with a flowing train is perfection for Linsey. She looks phenomenal! Paired with her look are some diamond Martin Katz jewels. And she actually did her own hair & makeup!!

Jen Lilley

Another bold red number with a train, but who cares. Jen rocks this crimson gown all on her own, a Walter Collection piece with a lovely sheer detailing around the neckline. And to complete her look, some statement making diamond jewelry from Charlie Lapson.

Eileen Davidson

And finally, looking just as sparkling and radiant as my 1st all black glittering look, Eileen too looks great in this black Mark Zunino gown with a sweetheart neckline and flowing train. Her fab glam team too deserves some props, Patti Denney with a refreshing beauty look, killer bold red lip, and George Guzman for her low chignon bun.
