At the Oscars stars tried to look as glamorous as possible wearing long sumptuous dresses, expensive jewelry and accessories. For 2010 Vanity Fair Oscar party held at Sunset Tower on Sunday (March 7) they went more modest and unpretentious though outfits still looked chic.
Kate Beckinsale looked gorgeous in a shimmering assymetrical dress complimented by Neil Lane diamond earrings and a large gold diamond platinum cocktail ring.
Katy Perry returned to her glamorous side. The I Kissed a Girl singer appeared on the red carpet wearing a perfect Zuhair Murad gown, H. Stern jewels, Judith Leiber clutch and Jimmy Choo shoes.
Kristen Stewart did her best to look good but dresses definitely don’t fit her. the young actress sported a midnight blue strapless dress by Monique L’Hullier.
Natalie Portman looked beautiful in her short metallic Lanvin dress, Tiffany jewels and Aldo shoes.

It was a big event yesterday (February 21) – British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards (BAFTA) 2010 – held at the Royal Opera House in London, England. Lots of celebrities attended it and some got their trophies. (Read the list of winners!) But everyone looked beautiful. And my task now is to show you the dresses I liked the most on the red carpet.
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!

Anja Rubik isn’t only beautiful, she is extremely bold! A real python draped around your neck is something that makes you scream rather than pose gracefully in front of a camera.
The photo shoot is very creative and interesting. Apart from being horrifying it looks glamorous as python is featured together with snake-inspired Lanvin jewelry.
The photo shoot named Charmeuse de Serpent (Snake Charmer) is exotic and chic and it is fashionable as well. The model wears items from Gucci, Alexander McQueen, Bottega Veneta, Versace, Givenchy, Dolce&Gabbana, Hermes, etc.
Shot by: Claudia Knoepfel and Stefan Indlekofer
Styling: Veronique Didry

It’s cold outside and we all want spring to come as soon as possible with its warmth, sun and greenness. And while there is little brightness out there we can think about things that can enliven our life.
Let’s talk about bracelets now. Bracelets are must-haves in any woman’s wardrobe. And we all have so many of them! But do you know that they initially were worn only by men? Read the history of bracelets here.
Spring-Summer 2010 season sees lots of bracelets worn all over the arm, from wrists to forearms. And the diversity of styles and designs is huge.
Let me show you the bracelets I liked the most in designers’ collections.
John Galliano and Lanvin created very elaborate and chic pieces, with lots of beads, chains and gemstones.
Jean Paul Gaultier preferred plastic to other materials and made very extravagant bracelets which could be worn on forearms and elbows.

This is the first photo shoot the actress has agreed to pose for after having had her second baby Seraphina. Nearly a year has passed since the baby was born and Jennifer went on a sensible weight loss program. She looks slim again and stylish, too.
The 37-year-old wears a classic Chanel suit and a fashion-forward Lanvin jumpsuit plus super-chic jewelry and fabulous shoes.
In the interview for the W magazine Jennifer reveals a lot about her family life and work.
On being a mom to her two daughters: The actress considers breast-feeding “the coziest feeling in the whole world” and finds it easy to bond with the other moms at Violet’s school. “You feel so close to them so quickly because you’re going through the same thing.” Jennifer cooks food for her children herself. “It’s a little over the top. And I tell myself, Just give her a jar of food and forget about it! Don’t be so precious! But it’s so easy—I just puree and freeze.”
On being a working mom: “I live my life at these two extremes. I’m either a full-time stay-at-home mom or a full-time actress.” But she understands she cannot be with her children all the time. She needs and wants to work. “It’s hard because I’ve taken so much time off already. But I have this internal battle between, I need to work, I need to work, I need to work and I need to be home with my kids. And the kids win.”

Lanvin Spring/Summer 2010 collection is super-chic and super-innovative. Alber Elbaz was able to surprise us again.
The collection was presented at Paris Fashion week and includes lots of fabulous dresses, with frills and flounces, coming in black, red and pink colors. Luxury but simple designs were soon substituted with sumptuous drapery and layers.
Fabrics looked rich: leather, poliester, chiffon, satin, organza, etc. When combined together they made the outfits unforgettable.
Leather dresses were absolutely impressive. I imagine how much work was needed to make those beautiful layers and knots. Lots of outfits were embellished with gemstones and sequins adding glamour and femininity.
Accessory line was amazing. The first thing that attracted my attention was the size and number of jewelry piece each model was wearing.
Lots of massive stones, interlacing chains and metallic details were on girls’ necks.

Each new season we see the development of Lanvin signature style.
It becomes more elaborated and luxury. This makes us happy for the brand and ourselves as we have more sophisticated designs at hand.
This time I adore the collection of shoes for Spring/Summer 2010.
They are absolutely fabulous. Some are classic pumps with a small platform, others are mary-janes of a chic design, and there are those which are adorned with lots of chains – lovely!
Most shoes are made of now-popular reptile leather and come with crooked, angular heels or high thin stilettos. Look wonderful!
As for handbags, they are more diverse in the range than shoes but certain common details are possible to note.
These are: reptile leather, chains instead of straps, Happy foldovers, as well as ribbons and bows entwined into straps to add glamour.

Why I single out the necklace from other jewelry trends? Because it’s so multifaceted.
Statement jewelry is back in the game.
Stones, metals, beads, massive chains and crystals are of great value for Autumn/Winter 2009-2010.
Super massive and extravagant necklaces were in John Galliano, Marc Jacobs, Thakoon and Lanvin collection.
Plenty of metals and geometrical shapes were presented in their jewelry lines. John Galliano’s Fall 2009 collection was inspired by the Tsar Russian mood.
The pendants are round and very heavy.

Lanvin decided to diversify the range of their products even more by introducing Lanvin dolls to the market. These dolls aren’t for kids though. They are works of art rather than ordinary toys.
Lanvin teamed up with a luxury porcelain maker Franz to produce the Miss Lanvin dolls, blending art and craft into these delicately hand painted covetable dolls.
All dolls correspond Lavin’s most signature styles and are dresses in sleek trench coats and voluminous dresses.
The creations are available by phone order only, Lanvin, (6733–3613)
