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.

Nicole Richie arrived at the event with her husband. The couple didn’t separate the whole evening. The long sparkling frock Nicole wore to the party didn’t flatter her at all. The designer looked too old and tired in it.

Olivia Wilde opted for a lighter look. Her beige dress with a long zip in front looked pretty. It was accessorized with red satin Ferragamo peep toe shoes.

Vanessa Hudgens looked super sexy in a black glitzy dress with extremely low cut. The star was perfect. Zac Efron tried to be as close to her as possible!

Victoria Beckham donned a dress from her own Fall 2010 collection. The frock looked nice but it was hardly better than other dresses at the party, though Posh had hoped to be the prettiest.

Abbie Cornish seems to have a very good choice and understading of what flatters her body. The girl looked wonderful in a dark blue gown with a chic-looking detail in front.

See other ladies and tell me which outfit you like the most.

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!

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.

Read about hairstyles at the event.

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.

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.

Chanel pieces are classy and sophisticated and will be perfect for evening outfits.

Bracelets from Karl Lagerfeld and Valentino are very unusual but look sumptuous.

Marc by Marc Jacobs offer us to wear simple pieces similar to toys we buy for babies.

Dolce&Gabbana items look luxurious. They are adorned with coins and black gemstones.

Giorgio Armani bracelets are elegant and classy, perfect for special occasions and chic garments.

Louis Vuitton want us to wear bright baubles.

Gucci and Missoni created simple metallic pieces for everyday wear.

Oscar de la Renta went a more traditional path and made universal-looking bracelets. Richard Nicoll, on the contrary, used less conventional shapes. He used fabric and beads to create his works of art.

Sparkling pieces were made by Dries Van Noten and Giambattista Valli.

Hermes and Anna Sui seem to have spent lots of time on accessories because the diversity of their bracelets is amazing.

Tell me which of these bracelets you like the most.

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.”

On possibly working with husband Ben Affleck: “I think he’s brilliant at what he does, but why rock the boat? It works between us pretty well the way it is. I don’t know if I want to go to work with him. I’d be like, ‘Okay already, you got the shot. Let’s go home!’”

On paparazzi interference: The situation is a bit better in Boston, where “there are fewer of them, and they hide behind things, so my kids aren’t aware of them, which makes all the difference in the world,” Garner says. But in L.A., “if I try to go to the supermarket, the police come. We talked forever about leaving Los Angeles, but anywhere you go some dodo is going to buy a camera and start following you.”

On her new film, Valentine‘s Day: “I got to work at home in L.A., which never happens, and it was a fun job that wasn’t all on me. There are a lot of things that made it an easy yes,” Garner says of her reasons for signing on to the movie, which she describes as “similar in feel and design to He’s Just Not That Into You. There’s nothing that’s not satisfying about it.”

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.

Bracelets were no less huge and voluminous. Belts, earring, and even gloves and bags were all different but at the same time alike due to the adornments they all featured. One glove-look was interesting, by the way.

Shoes in the collection were less diverse than other accessory stuff but they wear as chic. Mostly Mary-Janes, these shoes often came in bold hues, with chains and jewelry detaining.

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.

Kate Moss looks young and fabulous wearing Galliano. To tell you the truth I didn’t even recognize her at first sight.

Katie Holmes wearing Alaia shows her Evil Fairy Other side. Looks majestic!

The two beauties were photographed by Craig McDean, while the other two – by Hedi Slimane, the King of black-and-white pictures.

Natalie Portman in Lanvin outfit is all about sophistication.

And the last is Vanessa Paradis who wears a splendid Chanel dress. Elegant and attractive!

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 used the geometrical mosaic: cubs, ovals and squares.

Thakoon loves triangles, and Marc Jacobs preferred black sparkle squares.

Precious stones and sparkles, crystals and semiprecious bright in amazing jewelry by Marc Jacobs, Marni, Oscar de La Renta

Full of cold metals jewelry is presented by Dolce & Gabbana, Alexander McQueen.

Dolca and Gabbana adorned their necklace with a clocks. A very interesting mix.

Flower motives and nature inspiration are seen in Marni’s Soring-Summer collection and Giambattista Valli.

Giambattista Valli uses semiprecious giant stones to create fab stone flowers.

And Marni show us an astonishing garden of gold flowers and chain stalks.

A lot of Beads were seen on catwalk models at Nina Ricci.

Oscar de la Renta launched glamorous necklaces made of silver and gemstones.

Hot massive chains are present in many collections.

Huge metalic round beads – a great idea for statement jewelry. Donna Karan, Bottega Veneta combine big round beads and chains.

If you love to wear heavy and bright necklace – it’s your season again!

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.
