But while guests abroad had to put on retro red and green glasses to enjoy a simulation front row experience, the red carpet in London was dotted with stars rocking Burberry creations from previous collections.

Lots of celebrities were willing to attend the presentation but only few really had a chance. Among those were: Kate Hudson in a bottle-green sequin Burberry dress, Twilight star Kirsten Stewart in a richly pleated skirt from the S/S 2010 range, fashionista Mary-Kate Olsen in a gorgeous black coat, Claire Danes and others.

Everyone was excited with anticipation. When the lights went out all the talks stopped. Burberry Cadette Girls show began… Lots of military-inspired garments, famous Burberry coats, pleated dresses and so much popular thigh-high boots captured attention. (Read a detailed review of the show.)

All over the globe Burberry fans attended parties, by invitation only – it was a great honour to have been invited! Others could watch the show on the Internet on the label’s website. But it wasn’t the 3D anyway.

Bailey, the label’s chief creative officer, said:

We are very excited we are hosting the first ever truly global fashion show. This unprecedented event will enable people to experience the energy and atmosphere of this show from around the world. 3D technology will bring our global audience into the London show space allowing them to see the colours and fabrics, to hear the music and to be a part of that moment when it all finally comes together.”

Some pieces of outerwear and accessories from the upcoming collection have been put on the company’s website to be available to order immediately after the show took place.

The decision to broadcast the show in 3D format was made after the success of James Cameron’s Avatar. Of course it had cost Burberry lots of finance and efforts but it was worth it. The immediate success!

Pictures were taken from dailymail.co.uk.

I’ll begin with Kristen Stewart. She wasn’t the best-dressed and her look seemed unfinished but she is the star of Twilight, the saga I liked so much, so she is the first on my list. Kristen looked good in short white strapless Chanel dress and a pair of matching heels. I do think she looks better in jeans.

Kate Winslet couldn’t miss this exciting event and appeared on the red carpet looking elegant and classy. I liked her black dress with lacy insets very much!

Vera Farmiga looked brilliant in a white assymetrical Marchesa gown. The dress was so cute that Vera was an absolute stand out for me!

Another Twightlight and New Moon star Anna Kendrick wore a yellow Pucci dress to the party and looked lovely! The embroidery in front was beautiful.

Joely Richardson who arrived to support her mother showed off her beauty in a blue satin Katherine Walker gown with silver shoulder details. She matched her dress with a pair of black shoes and a pretty little clutch.

Claire Danes opted for a silver frock that looked a bit too elaborate in design. Jewelry pieces she wore to match the dress added glamour to her look.

Carey Mulligan dazzled in a flower-prited dress that revealed her shoulders. A pair of black sandals completed the attire.

Anne Marie Duff blended with the red carpet wearing a scarlet dress by Alberta Ferretti that covered her baby bump beautifully.

Kristin Scott Thomas went a simplier path and chose a black classy beaded dress by Louis Vuitton she looked fabulous in. As it was rather cold she took a fur boa to cover herself.

Audrey Tautou looked so much pretty in her pink frock by Lanvin.

Meredith Ostrom wore a black one-shoulder dress that looked ageing on her though was sumptuous.

Jamie Winston went for Marylin Monroe look in Alexander McQueen’s creation.

This event raising money for the Elton John’s AIDS Foundation and then it became an annual occasion hosted by Elton and David.

Now it’s one of the premier fundraising events of the UK.

The ball always allures an affluence of famous people.

The 11th Annual White Tie and Tiara Ball to Benefit Elton John AIDS Foundation in Association with Chopard was held at Elton John’s home in Windsor, England, June 25, 2009.

Guests list was presented by Elizabeth Hurley, Lily Allen, Kate Beckinsale, Tamara Mellon, Chace Crawford, Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy, Justin Timberlake, Kelly Osbourne, Erin O’Connor, Geri Halliwell  and more.

Also among the star-studded crowd were Rachel Stevens, Natalie Imbruglia, Matt Lucas, David Walliams, Kate Beckinsale, Tracey Emin and Lisa Snowdon.

Elizabeth Hurley was again on top in white floor-sweeper, with signature smoky eyes makeup and tumbling curly tresses.

Geri Halliwell, one of Spice Girls was in a beaded, split-to-the-thigh empire-line gown.

Who looks better Liz or Geri?
Legendary singer Shirley Bassey opted purple and old friend Lulu chose sheer, one-shouldered black.

Lily Allen, who stayed with platinum blond bobbed wig, was in a delicate lace dress. Erin O’Connor, posed in a black shift.

Kelly Osbourne looked great! The main accent was on her bright orange clutch.

Actress Claire Danes came with fiance Hugh Dancy. She opted for a metallic gown.

Ralph Lauren was admitted the most favorite American designer. He received the first-ever Popular Vote award winning the majority of the 15,000 online votes.

Mr. Lauren, whose fans are style stars Blake Lively and Angelina Jolie, accepted his award wearing a tuxedo jacket and jeans.

Rodarte sisters – Kate and Laura Mulleavy – got Womenwear Designer of the Year, that is absolutely deservedly!

Proenza Schouler’s Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez were awarded with Accessory Designer of the Year.

Alexander Wang amazed everyone wearing shorts to the ceremony but this didn’t bother him and Subversive’s Justin Giunta to take home the Swarovski Awards for young designers.

Marc Jacobs was given the International Award for his work at Louis Vuitton while the First Lady Michelle Obama received a Special Tribute for being a walking billboard of support for the fashion industry.

Michael Kors created the metallic one-shoulder mini for the mom-to-be Heidi Klum. This is what he said about it:

It’s a cousin of a dress from my collection.” Klum commented jokingly: “You mean this dress isn’t straight off the runway?” Her dress was perfect and looked pretty on her new figure. But those sky-high Louboutin spikes didn’t seem so adequate for her. But Heidi just said: “Nah, I’m a model, this is what I do.”

Blake Lively arrived a bit late for the event but she was able to make quite an entrance in her neon pink scissor sheath from Michael Kors.

Presenter Diane Kruger looked stunning in a Jason Wu lipstick red faille dress with micro beading and Swarovski embroidered epaulets.

Mr Wu was shining when, via video tape, CFDA Board of Directors’ Special Tribute award winner Michelle Obama told she was thankful to “the many designers who so graciously and beautifully play a part,” in her First Lady style.

Kerry Washington showed off in her wonderful gunmetal gown created by Doo Ri.

“She designed this dress for me,” she said smiling.

Michelle Trachtenberg was also a nice-looking star accessorizing her Behnaz Sarafpour dress with nearly one million dollars in Tiffany diamonds. She obviously didn’t feel much comfortable wearing it:

In red carpet pictures, you’ll often see me touching my necklace. That’s because I’m so terrified of losing something that I periodically check to make sure everything is still there.”

Claire Danes was wearing an embroidered black silk crepe gown from Narciso Rodriguez. The girl always stays true to the designer.

They have been friends since Rodriguez dressed the then 17-year-old actress for her first Academy Awards.

Nicole Miller confessed:

I designed ten dresses for Melissa to choose from.” She was speaking about Melissa George who wanted to have the perfect look for the ceremony. “But in the end, we ended up choosing a dress from my latest collection.” George replied giggling: “Now I have ten new gowns to take home with me!”

Despite the fact Zoe Saldana told it “takes a village,” to keep her looking chic, Calvin Klein’s Francisco Costa begged to differ.

Look at her, she’s perfect! You just have to do her justice,” Costa said of dressing the star, who wakled beside him to the CFDA after-party, hosted by Calvin Klein Collection.

The evening wouldn’t be so interesting unless some of Hollywood’s most outstanding people helped celebrate emerging designers at the 2009 CFDA Awards. Among those we can mention Molly Sims (in Dolce & Gabbana), Kirsten Dunst and Justin Timberlake.

GQ creative director Jim Moore received the Eleanor Lambert award and was personally honoured by Justin Timberlake and Emmanuelle Chriqui.

It turns out I’m a guy who could pull off wearing a kilt,” Timberlake, who is the co-creator of the William Rast line, said of Moore’s influence on his fashion sense. “Who knew?”

Some designers are used to the ceremony and are not surprised to hear their names in the list of awardees. But there are some who are quite new to the fashion industry and still can’t believe they are honored to be at the event and receive the award. Now I’m talking about Rodarte.

It’s so hard to be up here when we think where we started, making clothes in our house three years ago,” said Kate Mulleavy. “We never thought we’d be a part of this world.”

The actress appeared at the CFDA Fashion Awards on Monday night at Alice Tully Hall in New York on the arm of Rodriguez, saying that as a date, she finds him “very cheeky and playful and funny, kind and dear . . . one of my dear friends. Any excuse to hang out with him is welcome,” she said.

Rodriguez agreed to make a wedding gown for Clair and she feels really happy and excited about it.

He’s making it. I get weepy. .. more emotional than I was expecting,” she confessed. “It’s intimate.”

When asked whether it is easy working with a friend Danes replied:

It’s amazing. I’m so privileged. I’m collaborating a little bit, but I’m just trusting him implicitly. I’m offing my ideas, but they always pale in comparison to his.”

All we know about the dress itself is that it is going to be white.

Narciso said Clair is easy to design for:

She’s an extraordinary woman inside and out. That always comes through. You can’t hide it. I just try to make her look more beautiful,” he said. “And it’s not hard to make her look beautiful.”

Narciso Rodriguez has lots of experience dressing beautiful women. He designed Caroline Bessette Kennedy’s dress for her 1996 wedding to John F. Kennedy Jr., Michelle Obama’s attire as she made her first appearance as the wife of President-Elect Barack Obama. His other clients are: Sarah Jessica Parker, Salma Hayek, and Rachel Weisz.

Met General Manager Peter Gelb said,

We would like this to be a celebration of both the music and the rich theatrical history of the old and new Met, which is why we are going beyond the traditional gala format. This will be more than the typical gala parade of singers.”

James Levine said,

“This is going to be one of the most engaging and enjoyable galas that we have ever done, both for the performers and the audience. Joined by some of the great artists of today, we will pay tribute to the Met’s glorious history, touching on legendary moments we all wish we had heard, and reliving some whose memory we treasure. It’s sure to be fascinating.”

Yves Saint Laurent sponsors the 125th Anniversary Gala benefit.

The French fashion brand sponsored last season’s new production gala event for La Fille du Regiment at the Met.

There were a lot of celebrities in stylish gowns and glamour views.

The glam event held at Lincoln Center’s Metropolitan Opera House, beautiful ladies including Claire Danes, Mary Kate Olsen, Becki Newton and Ginnifer Goodwin all graced the red carpet.

There were Kanye West and girlfriend Amber Rose, Diane Kruger and her Dawson’s Creek beau Joshua Jackson.

Diane Kruger looked more beautiful than others. Her two-toned electric blue strapless YSL gown with details on the bodice was amazing.

Actress Claire Danes looked dainty in a silk navy Yves Saint Laurent Pre-Fall 2009 halter gown with a draped skirt and a ruck bodice, accessoried with a gold YSL clutch.

Brooke Shields chose a black strapless gown with a floral belt. Looks nice, isn’t it?

Blond woman Claudia Schiffer prefered a Spring 2009 full-length, high neck black gown by YSL. As for me she could take something more interesintg than this dress. She looked a bit casual.

Becki Newton from Ugly Betty was wearing a metal pair of Yves Saint Laurent Spring 2009 heels and a glimmering green sequined YSL Spring 2009 strapless cocktail dress.

Ginnifer Goodwin was in a hot maxy strapless YSL print gown.

Model Zoe Saldana was good-looking wearing a strapless emerald Yves Saint Laurent Pre-Fall 2009 long dress with a little black bow-detailed belt.

Screen Actors Guild Awards celebrity style

The 2009 15th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG) kicked off at the Shrine Auditorium on Sunday evening (January 25 2009).

There were a lot of expensive gowns in vivid shades of red, blue, yellow, black and white and everything in between.

My particular favourite was Penelope Cruz. She looked stunning in a classic floor-length backless Azzaro gown, with black clutch.

Kate Winslet was wearing the colour of the season – electric blue.

The British actress was amazing in fab Narciso Rodriguez body-con gown. She made her look even greater with Chopard jewels.

Claire Danes chose the asymmetrical red dress by Nina Ricci that perfectly accented her flexible dancer’s body. She completed her look with Fred Leighton jewels and Jimmy Choo heels.

Evan Rachel Wood prefered to dress Monique Lhuillier Pre-Fall 2009 off-the-shoulder gown.

She accessorized the gown with an eagle brooch, which looks great with the rest of her antique looking jewelry. On her feet were the purple Sergio Rossi heels. She took a matching clutch.

Andrea Bowen was so pretty in her chocolate dress.

The main trends in SAG 2009 were one shoulder gowns and grecian style. And of course, there were a lot of strapless dresses.

Frida Giannini, Gucci creative director, said:

Claire Danes is a modern icon. For me she is one of the most interesting young actresses on the international scene. She is very natural, fresh and has a carefree attitude that is reflected in the roles she has chosen.

Claire’s sensual, confident beauty and her passionate, independent and strong character embodies today’s Gucci woman.”

The 29-year-old Claire is “excited” about being involved with the Italian fashion house and she says:

I am honoured to be working with Gucci on their jewellery campaign. Frida Giannini is a very inspiring and creative woman. Her vision is extraordinary and I am excited to be a part of it.”

This isn’t the first time for Claire to be a model. Last year, she was a model in a TV commercial for fashion company GAP with actor Patrick Wilson.

Claire Danes looks sun kissed to excellence wearing nothing but jewel encrusted necklaces, bracelets, rings from the new Gucci Fine Jewelry Chiodo Collection. Her strawberry red hair and neutral makeup palette look great.

Seems we have dejavu. New ads are much like old ads with Drew Barrymore.
