Despite the fact Valentino is not my favorite brand I can’t but admire Pier Paolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri’s designs, especially Haute Couture ones, because these are always totally sophisticated, feminine, delicate and exquisite. Spring 2012 collection is very beautiful with fabrics so airy and diaphanous that up to 5 layers were used to achieve the ‘deep lightness’ effect the two designers wanted.

All dresses in Valentino Couture Spring 2012 collection came in white, nude and pale rosy and blue colors. Many came with lovely small prints which added a little glamour and cuteness to the looks.

Paired with printed flats Valentino dresses came in maxi and midi lengths all looking modest and elegant.

There were interesting tops over lacy blouses which were adorned with bows. And bows were also features on belts.

Some dresses in Valentino Haute Couture Spring 2012 collection were beautified with rich embroidery – all over a dress, on sleeves or skirts, or even blouses only.

Despite the fact red carpet fashion choices at the 2012 SAG Awards ceremony weren’t as diverse and chic as those at previous glam events we had written about this year, we cannot say they were boring. There were a few looks that deserved your attention. For example, Michelle Williams’ red Valentino dress looked gorgeous. It showed the actress’ enviable figure and, complemented with Roger Vivier sandals and Lanvin bag, looked totally glamorous.

Lea Michelle, who has recently been announced as the new face of Candie’s, wore a luxurious and daring gown by Versace.

Jessica Chastain opted for a simple but very elegant custom dress from Calvin Klein Collection. To make her look more luxurious the 30-year-old accessorized with $2.5 million in Harry Winston jewels.

Glee star, Jayma Mays hit the red carpet of the 2012 SAG Awards in a chic Reem Acra gown.

Sofia Vergara looked mesmerizing in a sumptuous fuchsia Marchesa gown.

The Help star, Emma Stone appeared at the 2012 SAG Awards wearing an unusual custom Alexander McQueen dress which she paired with shoes and a bag from the same brand.

Armie Hammer arrived at the ceremony of the 2012 SAG Awards with his beautiful wife Elizabeth Chambers. Her dress was very simple but so lovely that it won my heart the first moment I saw it.

Emily Blunt rocked a bold one-shoulder gown from Oscar de la Renta‘s Resort 2012 collection. Maybe it wasn’t the most interesting dress on the red carpet but it turned quite a lot of heads.

Naya Rivera was also one of the best-dressed at the 2012 SAG Awards. Her delicate blue floor-length dress was fantastic.

Kelly Osbourne, who makes fashion faux pas rather often, this time, impressed us in a good way. Her white gown with eye-catching shoulder detail was lovely.

Dianna Agron is such a pretty girl. She can look great in everything, even in less interesting dresses than this one by Carolina Herrera!

Stacy Keibler, who arrived at the 2012 SAG Awards, with George Clooney looked feminine and attractive in her Marchesa gown.

Julianna Margulies looked stunning in a custom Calvin Klein Collection dress with rich embroidery.

I would like to start from Emma Stone who has become one of my favorite actresses. She really deserves every award she receives and she always looks fabulous on the red carpet. At the 17th Annual Critics’ Choice Movie Awards she wasn’t honored but The Help movie she starred in was hugely praised. Emma wore an emerald green Jason Wu gown to the event.

Kirsten Dunst opted for a chic black dress from Christian Dior Spring/ Summer 2012 collection. She looked amazing.

Elle Fanning also was in attendance. She wore a floral-printed Rodarte gown to the 17th Annual Critics’ Choice Movie Awards.

Black color was a hit at the 17th Annual Critics’ Choice Movie Awards. Evan Rachel Wood went for a black floor-length dress by Valentino which she teamed with shoes and a clutch from the same brand.

Young starlet Chloe Moretz turned heads with her chic Chanel dress.

Elizabeth Olsen appeared at the 17th Annual Critics’ Choice Movie Awards in a bright yellow Emilio Pucci dress which looked wonderful on her figure.

Charlize Theron wore a luxurious black Alaia gown to the ceremony. Bulgari accessories complemented her look nicely.

Dianne Kruger looked lovely at the 17th Annual Critics’ Choice Movie Awards in a long Prada dress. I think she is one of those celebrities who always looks good on the red carpet.

Michelle Williams, who was lucky to play gorgeous star of the past Marilyn Monroe, looked spectacular in a black-and-white dress by Chanel.

That’s all, my dear readers. These looks seemed the most attractive for me. Hope you liked them, too.

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #1: Airy maxi dresses. Maxi dresses are always in vogue but during Spring/ Summer 2012 season it is airy maxis that will be top trendy. Made of chiffon, taffeta, organza and other sheer fabrics maxi dresses come in colorful prints. D&G and Emilio Pucci offer us multilayered dresses with scarf-inspired prints, Just Cavalli and Naeem Khan go for leopard and polka dots while Roccobarocco simply combines contrast colors.

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #2: Mini dresses. While some ladies opt for airy maxi dresses others will definitely want to show more of their bodies and trendy mini dresses will help them a lot with this. Paco Rabanne, Balmain and other designers have made a variety of super mini dresses in different colors and designs.

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #3: Midi-length dresses. Midi-length dresses are perfect for those who dislike maxi dresses but feel shy or inappropriate to wear mini dresses. Midi dresses look good on women of all ages and can be good for many occasions. In a dress from Giorgio Armani you can visit a red carpet event. Victoria Beckham’s tight-fitting midi will look perfect at a book launch or a store opening and a stylish Etro will make you feel gorgeous everywhere you go.

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #4: Glittering dresses. If you want all attention centered at you just go for one of glittering dresses designers provided in plenty for Spring/ Summer 2012. Try a silver or gold dress or find a bolder option in green, red or blue. Elie Saab designed fantastic sequined gowns. Giorgio Armani made a few dresses in color of liquid metal. And Paco Rabanne worked with iridescent hues.

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #5: Asymmetrical hemlines. Asymmetrical hemline is a big Spring/ Summer 2012 trend which extends not only to dresses but to various tops and coats, too. Mary Katrantzou made a number of fabulous dresses with trains. Missoni cut hemlines to one side, while majority of designers simply re-invented a mullet dress (which has been a hot Winter 2012 trend).

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #6: Floral-printed dresses. Floral print is very trendy during Spring/ Summer 2012. Delicate and small or large prints look feminine and very beautiful. Every brand from Valentino to Proenza Schouler and of course Anna Sui (who nearly every season uses the print in her collections) have used it. And some, like Iceberg, even combined different floral prints together.

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #7: Lace dresses. Lace has been a trend since last spring but it doesn’t lose its popularity in Spring/ Summer 2012. Lace has become more delicate though. Erdem, Preen, Oscar de la Renta, Bebe and other designers and brands used lace in their ranges.

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #8: White dresses. Like in every warm season white dresses are among favorites during Spring/ Summer 2012. They come in different fabrics and styles but always look lovely.

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #9: Peplums. Just like lace peplums are not new in vogue. They have been with us for a couple of seasons and will stay for Spring/ Summer 2012. Peplums have become bigger and bolder and now come on both casual and evening dresses. Versace peplums are long and flat. Badgley Mischka, Alexander McQueen and Jason Wu made more voluminous peplums. And Rodarte peplums are very puffy.

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #10: Frills. Spring/ Summer 2012 collections have many dresses with frills and pleats. While some look neat and classy others are huge and eye-catching.

And of course Spring/ Summer 2012 collections abound with evening dresses which are luxurious and sophisticated, perfect for a red carpet event or an important occasion.

If during London Fashion Week it was Erdem that presented a fabulous collection of lace dresses, during Paris Fashion Week Valentino did it. The brand’s Spring/ Summer 2012 range was ladylike, stylish, delicate and chic. It included fantastic floor-length gowns which featured plenty of embroidery and flowers. There were also dresses that went just above the ankle and they were as gorgeous. For simpler occasions Valentino created cocktail dresses but these couldn’t disappoint either.

Speaking about new details in Valentino Spring/ Summer 2012 collection we can mention puffed shoulders, long sleeves, hand-painted floral prints and velvet flower appliqués. Besides, some dresses were made of leather which was much unexpected from Valentino. And to add some more freshness to the collection the designers Pier Paolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri sent their models down the runway wearing flat shoes instead of sky-high heels.

Anne Hathaway looks her lovely self on the cover of September 2011 issue of Marie Claire UK but haven’t we seen that print somewhere already? Ah, yes, it’s all over the place today being high on trend. But let’s skip this cover that’s not as captivating as Anne’s Interview magazine September cover and get to the other more interesting stuff like photo shoot and interview bits.

In a series of shots Anne Hathaway dons the same star print, a deep blue Valentino dress and Annina Vogel jewelry. Actress looks playful, sensual, and simply lovely, though I seriously would pick this funky photo below to be the cover. Too bad Marie Claire is too conservative.

In the interview Anne Hathaway speaks heartbreaks, her One Day movie role, and age:

On the incident with Raffaello Follieri: “People deal with horrible things all the time. Downstairs in this pub someone has a parent who is battling cancer. Someone has just lost their job. Life is really f***ed up and it’s really painful sometimes.”

On turning 30: “I think it’s the beginning of a process that really blossoms when you hit 30. It’s when you stop apologising for who you are. It’s nice not to know things and that’s OK. People aren’t going to judge you for asking questions. That’s such a freedom.”

On success: “Success is such a subjective thing. Certainly when I was starting out, I just had this unbelievable pressure to get jobs. “Gotta work! Gotta work!” I am hard on myself, but that has changed. Now I do it with hope.”

On relationship with actor Adam Shulman: “Yes, I have a boyfriend. And yes, I am very much in love with him. But you do need to keep your private life private. Adam totally ruined my plan. I was really actually looking forward to a little alone time and then I fell in love like a fool!”

What do you think of Anne Hathaway’s Marie Claire UK September 2011 issue cover and spread?

Anne Hathaway is often portrayed by fashion magazines as a sunny sweetheart in lovely dresses with her locks waved and curled all nice and smiles. However actress tries something new like turning goth for Interview Magazine Fall Fashion Issue. The Interview cover shows Anne with her face covered with lace veil while the spread features the black and white photo shoot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott with Hathaway changing from Dolce & Gabbana to Valentino, also sporting clothes and accessories from Alexander McQueen, Nina Ricci, Dior, Tom Ford, Chanel, Bottega Veneta, Maison Michel, Gucci, and Falke. The veil is New York Vintage. So now you see why it’s a Fashion Issue.

I must say I like to see Anne Hathaway in this vampish goth style, at least for a change. It’s nice to change a character once in a while for a photo shoot. Why not?

The interview itself is pretty extensive and covers Anne Hathaway‘s earlier acting experiences as well as her newest role as Catwoman in a new Batman movie. This is what actress had to say:

On the scariest things to face as an actor: One is not taking full advantage of every opportunity-missing out on something for whatever reason, being distracted [...]. Look, Chris Nolan makes it so easy for you to act, so the thing that I’m terrified about right now is not living up to his expectations, which is actually a kind of uniform thing. Not living up to the expectations of the director is pretty terrifying. Being exposed as a fraud-that’s pretty terrifying. Then I think there’s a vanity aspect of it. All of a sudden, you walk on the camera, and your ass looks horrible . . . The last one I can live with, but the other two are way more important.

On criticism after Oscars performance: You know, it’s not like I’d had this big dream to do this thing, and it’s not like I had a set of skills I’d been honing for years and years that I was going to showcase on this night. [...] It’s actually been very nice because the critical reaction was what it was, but since then . . . Like, just today, I was sitting, having lunch, and a really nice Canadian couple on vacation with their daughter came up and made a point of saying, “We just loved you at the Oscars.”

On her work with initiative Girl Effect in Africa: Some amazing work has been done, though, through this organization called Berhane Hewan, and a lot of people are now coming out against underage marriage, so many of these young girls are now getting educated and lives in these villages are improving.

On fashion: My favorite fashion is daring. I love it as an art form. I love it when people are able to interpret thoughts and feelings on fabric or some kind of material.

Anne Hathaway goth outfits look great. There are some sheer fabrics, vintage lace, lovely voluminous details, and drapery. My favorite though is Nina Ricci dress so playful and beautiful.

Whatever happened to Lady Gaga? The singer who has made a name on outlandish, extraordinary and simply wacky outfits now continues to show off her more sophisticated side as she wears strangely normal ‘human’ clothes. Of course, crazy dos and specs and shoes didn’t go away completely but I bet it’s good to feel comfy in normal clothes for a change. Maybe the singer wants to feel sophisticated and glamed up for a change but her latest looks surprise public no less than her crazy stage and everyday costumes. Give it up to five sophisticated looks of Lady Gaga.

Green Leather

Thus leather coat by Valentino is quite elegant yet with a twist it’s green. Gaga went for same colored Christian Louboutin pumps and green wig to complete the look. Although I don’t know what’s under that coat, the outfit looks great and quite classy.

Classic Black

Not long ago Lady Gaga has been spotted in a black outfit by Yves Saint Laurent that consisted of a front lace top and a perforated skirt. Singer also went for black Christian Louboutin pumps and a black headpiece. She also wore a monochrome wig and dangerous red nails.

60′s Glam

One of the favorite sophisticated looks on Gaga recently is Yves Saint Laurent’s 60′s inspired wide leg pants and bow blouse completed with trendy chunky chain necklace and unusual specs. Gaga looks chic and sophisticated in this trendy summery outfit. Note how high-waist full-length pants elongate her figure.

Houndstooth Print All Over The Place

Okay this outfit of Lady Gaga has been described as “outrageous” and “over the top”. But I think it’s still more sophisticated than her other looks. As opposed to other celebrities Gaga chose to wear a classy Salvatore Ferragamo dress from Fall 2011 collection with matching hoondstooth clutch, sunglasses, shoes, and hat.

Eye Catchy Cocktail Dress

The fifth sophisticated look by Lady Gaga would be a Versace cocktail dress with a bright yellow and purple floral ornament in the front. The singer let her hair down sporting a long blond head of hair. Again the look was completed with Christian Louboutin Daffodil suede black pumps. The only Gaga-thing that stayed were dangerously sharp red nails.

Jennifer Aniston said:

It was great fun and very liberating to throw myself into this character. You feel totally uninhibited and get to explore your weirdest and kinkiest psychological quirks and just exaggerate all the kinds of flirtatious ideas and fantasies you’ve ever had. You get to enjoy being fearless when you play a character that is so brazen and domineering.”

She also mentioned she got more comfortable in her body as she got older:

I absolutely get more comfortable in my body and in who I am as I get older.”

Jennifer Aniston has also appeared at the photo call earlier in the day wearing a sexy leather mini dress that accentuated the actress’ perfect figure.
