Yesterday (11/03/2010), child stars Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart premiered their long awaited movie, “The Runaways”  in Hollywood. The film tells the story of Joan Jett and the first female rock band, The Runaways. Among the attendees were teen heartthrob Taylor Lautner, Cherie Currie and Joan Jett herself made it out to the premiere! I’m sure having three of the cast of Twilight within one vacinity drove fans crazy.

Dakota Fanning looked angelic and cute as ever in a silver, glittery dress. I really like the top of the dress, the sheer material with the silver detailing around the shoulders saves this dress from being a boring strapless dress. I also really like the shape of the dress, its very age apropriate and princessy, yet still stylish. I am disappointed by Dakota’s shoes, I wish she took a less boring aproach.

Kristen Stewart has me gobsmacked, she is in a hot pink mini dress. What the? The dress on its own is very cute but I’m not sure if I like it on Kristen. It makes her look a little bit sick because she’s so pale. On a good note, it does fit her well which is a nice change and she does seem comfortable in it. I just wish I could teach her how to pose. Kristen was also very disappointing with her choice of shoes. Had she replaced her black peeptoe’s with nude peeptoe’s her look may have flowed a bit better. I like the pink blush on her its very cute!

It kills me to say that Mariah Carey was one hot mess last night. Her entire look is just wrong. The dress doesn’t seem to fit her well around the bust and the cap sleeves are droopy. The slit in the leg and the brooch just give the entire look a 80’s feel. Then there is that hair which again screams “hi, I’m Mariah and I’m stuck in the 80’s”. Then we have the Louboutin nude heels which are hugely inappropriate because they have a gold hint to them and her accessories are all white gold and silver. Mariah Carey definitely needs a new stylist, she has been sporting the same look since 1980 and it’s just such a shame.

Mo’Nique was a winner last night but I felt she could have done a lot better with her choice of attire. The blue gown does nothing for her figure and the way the gathered detailing cuts off right above her hips accentuates how broad she is. Then there is the unfortunate slicked back hair and the random flower. I would have loved to see Mo’Nique in more of a floaty look. But I’d just like to say I am so thrilled that she won in her category, she certainly deserved it. Congratulations Mo’nique!

Sarah Jessica Parker made me want to cry. Her choice of gown really disappointed me from top to bottom. The Chanel gown just looks shapeless to me and the satin will probably give me nightmares. I’m not sure why SJP had her hair up either. It was like a big booffy Texas prom queen hair do with lots and LOTS of fly aways and to top it all off she was orange. I’m usually such a huge fan of Sarah’s choices but this was a big miss for me unfortunately.

Last but certainly not least was surprisingly Charlize Theron. This was the biggest “what the” moment for me. The usually flawless actress wasn’t so flawless in her Christian Dior gown. I felt as though the colour really washed her out and the fabric of the gown was just too heavy which made it unflattering. Her make up didn’t mesh well with the dress and the dress hadn’t been ironed. This is probably Charlize Theron’s only ever “blah” moment. It’s surprising because she is usually such a stand out at the Oscars.

On the up side there weren’t that many Red Carpet tragedies this year. On the down side, it was quite disappointing to see such amazing actresses mess it up for the big show. Hopefully next year they will bring it!

My favourite look of the entire evening was Zoe Saldana’s purple Givency Couture gown. WOW WOW WOW WOW. By far the standout of the evening for me. The sparkly bodice and the ruffled detailing at the bottom of the dress would have intimidated most, but Zoe pulls this off easily. Her hair and make up were perfect!

Nicole Richie looked absolutely breath taking in a Reem Acra gown. This dress was unlike anything on the Red Carpet last night, it was so original and absolutely stunning. I love the long bat wing sleeves and the sexy low back.

Anna Kendrick was pretty in pink in her Elie Saab gown. This gown is so perfect for the event and it suits her so much. The colour and the floaty style of the gown makes Anna look so soft and angelic. An amazing choice and after all, a Red Carpet is incomplete without Elie Saab.

I can’t believe I am saying this but finally Miley Cyrus has managed to get on a best dressed list. YES she was glowing on the Red Carpet in a beautifully sparkling Jenny Packham gown. I love everything about this look, the dress is so perfect on her, her make up is to die for and her hair is stunning. She finally did it!

Rachel McAdams was another celebrity who supported Elie Saab on this occasion. The starlet opted for a very colourful yet earthy look. I love the sweetheart neck line and then the full skirt. She reminds me of some otherworldly creature in this look because the colours are just so lovely. She is a vision!

It wouldn’t be a Red Carpet if Demi Moore wasn’t there to make everyone green with envy. The flawless actress looked incredible in a blush toned Atelier Versace gown. I love everything about this look.

Sandra Bullock sparkled in Marchesa. She completely aced the old hollywood glamour look and the gown really compliments her figure. I am so glad that she looked so good during her shining moment. Congratulations Sandy!

For my very last mention I am really surprised and I’m sure you will be to. I can’t believe I am actually saying this but Kristen Stewart made my jaw hit the floor when I saw her in her custom made Monique Lullhier gown. Although some might think this is typical K Stew, dark and moody, I beg to differ. The gathered details on the bodice and waistline are to die for, the skirt and shape of the dress give Kristen a BODY and for once, the dress actually fits her. She is carrying herself well and I think this is the best Kristen has ever looked. It seems like she is finally coming to terms with her fame and fortune. I love this gown so much, I love her hair and make up. I love how she isn’t slouching, maybe next year we might get a smile out of her!

Strapless gowns seemed to be very popular among the ladies this year. I wonder what next year will bring.

Nicole Richie was set to bring a classic aww struck feel for party goers last night as she & Joel Madden attended the Montblanc Charity Cocktail party hosted by the Weinstein company to benefit UNICEF at Soho House in West Hollywood.

Nicole looked ravishing and effortlessly stunning. I have always loved how she plays with her images and style but this by far the most sophisticated and beautiful she has ever looked. She is naturally beautiful and the brunette change must have triggered something that added even more it. Classy and haunting in a long silk blue dress. She looked like a star from the 40s. Go Nicole!!

My favourite look of the night goes to Olivia Wilde. She wore a gorgeous neutral tone dress from Ralph Lauren Fall 2009. I LOVE this look on her, its so relaxed and earthy and is really different to the looks she usually goes for. Olivia is so beautiful and this dress really suits her.

Maggie Gyllenhaal totally blew me away with her look. Her Lanvin dress sits on her perfectly and she just looks so sexy. Usually I would be furious about the tights but on this occasion it works somehow. Obviously Maggie didn’t want to look too exposed.

Vera Farmiga looked stunning in a modified Marchesa dress. The stunning actress looked so feminine and sultry in the dress. I love the colour of the dress against her skin and I really like how she styled her hair and make up in a way that didn’t take any attention away from her dress. Stunning.

Another look that I really loved belongs to Zoe Kravitz. This event is quite relaxed and her boho style went perfectly with the vibe. Her Chloe dress is so simple and stunning. I love how soft and angelic she looks.

Check out our gallery to see more celebrities and more stunning looks from the event!

The highlight of the event for me was seeing Hollywood’s latest gem Quinton Aaron so comfortable on the Red Carpet. I was also really pleased to see Keri Hilson and Marisa Miller looking so fierce out there! They seem to be the only two ladies who looked in the mirror that night, and even then I was slightly bored with Marisa’s look.

Other “celebrities” in attendance were, Kendra Wilkinson, Jessica Lowndes,Isabella Miko, Amanda Righetti and Audrina Patridge.
Yawn.

Beyonce has finally unveiled a project she and her mother, Tina Knowles has long been dreaming of, and worked hard on making it a reality for years, The Beyonce Cosmetology Center. B has cut the ribbon to launch the Beyonce Cosmetology Center in Brooklyn at the Phoenix House in New York today, an establishment that offers a program of seven-month cosmetology training course for adult men and women. L’Oréal has donated all the products to be used at the center, and their spokeswoman Beyoncé, along with her mother, have pledged to donate $100,000 annually.

Beyonce has previously visited the Phoenix House which is a non profit recovery center for drug & alcohol addiction while researching for her role as Etta James in “Cadillac Records” and felt she could offer more to help these women in learning a professional skill that would inspire them & give hope after leaving the recovery center, and that’s when the cosmetology center idea was born.

If anyone is wondering why a cosmetology center, it surely cause it rings a bell close to heart with Beyonce & Tina. Tina used to own and operate a hair & beauty salon back in Houston, Texas where B was raised. Beyonce was commented  “I saw that a salon was a place for women to socialize, share stories, cry, laugh and get advice,” she continued about her experiences growing up around a beauty parlor. She was close to tears as she added, “Most importantly, I saw the joy it brought my mother, knowing she was a part of their transformation.”

“It’s a very proud day for me and my mother,” she beamed. And so are we proud of you Beyonce

Spotted! Our favorite bad girl Michelle Tratchenberg was attending the Nicks game vs Detroit Pistons yesterday at Madison Square Garden in NYC.

In 2007 she made what I believe was her strongest impression on people through her role on the hit show Gossip Girl. The show is not only glamorous and funny but it’s HIGHLY addictive. With Blake playing the role of the ever so lovely Serena Van Der Woodsen she caught people’s attention with her gorgeous face, beautiful cascading blonde hair and of course that bangin body!

In 2008 fashion critics labeled her as the “girl to watch” however 2008 wasn’t the best year for Blake in terms of fashion. Although Blake had been in showbiz for quite some time, in 2008 she was still adjusting to the attention she was getting and all the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. Some of her looks were amazing and some needed work.

But in 2009 Blake turned the tables around. With every single appearance she made she was popping up in best dressed polls and made people green with envy. Whether it’s sexy, glamourous, casual, shabby chic, classic Blake impressed time and time again. The star says that her role on Gossip Girl and the style team have really helped her find her own sense of style and that she can’t believe she is  style icon.

 I absolutely love Blake’s style. She always looks gorgeous and very very fashionable indeed. Unlike other stars Blake keeps things interesting, she never shies away from colour or takes the safe route. Along with a beautiful wardrobe Blake is always picture perfect with flawless make up and incredible hair, however it’s styled. She dresses appropriately for her age and gives off a fun, fresh and youthful vibe all the time that never seems over done. Some people have criticised Blake for flaunting her goods too often, but I think if you’ve got it, flaunt it!

Blake Lively is one of the most promising stars of her generation. As well as being a style icon across the globe, she is also hugely succesfull and an incredible role model. With a gorgeous attitude, a lovely personality and a promising career I can’t wait to see what Blake Lively has in store for us in 2010.
Have a look through our gallery to see some of Blake’s best looks in the last 12 months.
