Royal Style: Meghan Markle wears a white belted dress at the Royal Ascot


The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, attended her first Royal Ascot since marrying Prince Harry. She wears a white button down dress from Givenchy, the fashion house who designed her wedding gown. She completed her look with a matching Philip Treacy hat and black skinny belt, minaudiere clutch and pumps.

Take a look at these dresses that are inspired by the fashionable duchess:

Golden Globes 2013 red carpet arrival photos

Not only did Jennifer Lawrence made it to the best dressed list of the Golden Globes, she also took home with her the Best Actress award for her role in Sliver Linings Playbook! This Dior Haute Couture gown probably brought her the luck.

If there will be a beauty contest for Hollywood stars aged 40 and above, Nicole Kidman would easily make the cut. This Alexander McQueen gown is a breakout style for the usually conservative actress... and we are not complaining!

If this Atelier Versace gown is in a solid color like red or black or blue, I would appreciate it more. Halle Berry has such a beautiful face with an enviable body and allowing the dress to wear her is unforgivable. 

The side swept curls, Jimmy Choo golden clutch, the Zuhair Murad illusion dress... very J. Lo indeed. I guess this is what being 40-ish and in love will do to any woman.

Taylor Swift's post-break up look is a winner. Being beautiful is truly the best revenge! And Donna Karan made sure that she wins.

Battle of the red evening gowns, 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards edition

Jane Lynch in the most hilarious opening number.
The 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards was certainly an event of red evening gowns. But, who among them made the most impact?

It's time to cast your votes!

63rd Primetime Emmy Awards Arrival Photos

Christina Hendricks in a custom Johanna Johnson nude gown. Lovely dress but her boobs are so distracting.

Nina Dobrev carried this mermaid gown by Donna Karan like a pro! Way to go, Nina!

Gwyneth Paltrow in an unflattering gown by Pucci. Her midriff doesn't look so good. If she's into belly dancing, that's what I'll have to investigate.

Leah Michele heading towards Snoozeville in this red Marchesa number. Last year was better, Lea.

To be a presenter in an awards night poses as much pressure as being nominated.  Kudos to Katie Holmes for her effort to look better than her usual in this blue Calvin Klein gown. 

Glamorous as usual without trying too hard, Kate Winslet shows us that this is the way to look if you are aiming for the win. And it paid off, she won the Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Movie award. Thank you, Elie Saab!

While the rest went for sexy, Jayma Mays opted to be sweet. And we are liking it so much! This Zuhair Murad  tiered gown perfectly fits the sweet personality of Jayma.

2011 Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute Gala

One of the most awaited events of the year is the Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute Gala or Met. Hollywood stars gather in this event trying to outshine each other with their most glamorous gowns. This year, Met paid tribute to the late Alexander McQueen who is a favorite designer of stars during the event because of his avant garde, rebel, OTT but luxurious pieces that will surely leave a mark--either good or bad--to the fashion critics' sharper than sword reviews. This time around, the event did not disappoint.

Take a look at some of the most glamorous and not so glamorous gowns of the night.


Hailed as the world's most beautiful by People Magazine, Jennifer Lopez kept the drama in high volume with this pink Gucci frock with floral bolero AND nearly a million worth of Fred Leighton jewelries. A diva has got to do it, ya know.

If you have a body like Brooklyn Decker, you really don't need elaborate gowns to make you look sexy. All you need is this pink Michael Kors long sleeved gown with thigh high slit and minimal jewelries and you are good to go.


I am just so glad that Dianna Agron went back to being her true self after the tragic attempt to go bold  and fierce. Thank goodness Michael Kors came in to intervene.

A tribute to Alexander McQueen will not be complete without his closest friends' presence. One of  Lee's closest friends is Sarah Jessica Parker who wore an intricately beaded gown, of course, by Alexander McQueen. 

Ashley Greene looks ravishing in this dreamy Donna Karan gown with  a train so  large,  we forget the young star's Twilight dark roots. 

Oh Blake! A party will never be complete without Blake Lively. Here, she's wearing Chanel Haute Couture's gown like it is nobody's business. She completed the look with Christian Louboutin sandals (her favorite shoe brand) and Fred Leighton jewelries.

A mash-up like no other. Freida Pinto takes a fashion risk in this white gown  with an odd necktie by Chanel Haute Couture. I can see Karl Lagerfeld in this dress and that's bad.

Gwyneth Paltrow went minimalist safe with this nude Stella McCartney gown. She looks great but I would like to see her take some fashion risks.

Salma Hayek made Team McQueen proud with this peach organza gown and curly locks. And I couldn't agree less.

Taylor Swift usually does it in sparkles so I find this J. Mendel gown and  make-up a little bit severe for the pretty songstress's face and personality. Nice try, though!

Diane Kruger's look is one of my favorite looks of the event. Don't you agree? Here, she wears  a Jason Wu gown with embellished top and skirt with thigh high slit.

Queen B opted to wear a super tight Emilio Pucci gown that made her  girls look like they will just come out of the dress to breathe. The turtle neck just made this dress the most uncomfortable dress ever. There are no reports yet of wardrobe malfunction at the time of my writing.

Well, I think Demi Moore looks gorgeous per se, so, she really doesn't need to wear something that is too busy and distracting like this Prabal Gurung dress. She should have worn the Philip Treacy fascinator days ago.

I have to say that birds have earned their right on the red carpet and it is all because of this Miu Miu dress that Michelle Williams confidently wore.

Christina Ricci really made a grand entrance in this Zac Posen gown with trumpet  skirt. It is Met and it is all about high impact and drama. This dress and that attitude is so reminiscent of Alexander McQueen's runway shows.

Penelope Cruz is stunning in this Oscar de la Renta gown but I think she has done this look before. Well, if it worked before it will work again, right?

The frumpiest and ugliest look of the event unfortunately is by Kirsten Dunst. This  Chanel Haute Couture off shoulder tea-length dress added a million years to her. She could have at least stand tall and proud wearing her granny's dress. 

Also one of my favorite looks, Eva Mendes looks gorgeous as usual in this pleated one shoulder Stella McCartney dress. A stand out color in a sea of blacks, whites and nudes. Bravo!

To borrow from Rachel Zoe--we die! Iman, the perpetually beautiful model looks drop dead gorgeous in this Stella McCartney gold jumpsuit. And you ask how old is she? Never mind because you will die again of envy.

2011 Golden Globes Trends

Long Sleeved Gowns

Angelina Jolie in Versace.

Anne Hathaway in Armani Prive.

Leighton Meester in Burberry Prorsum.

Angelina Jolie, Anne Hathaway and Leighton Meester were courageous enough to wear long sleeved gowns during the 2011 Golden Globes and I applaud them for taking risks.


Bubble-Gum Pink Gowns

Natalie Portman in Viktor & Rolf.

Lea Michele in Oscar de la Renta.

Megan Fox in Armani Prive.

What could be cuter than bubble gum pink gowns? Natalie Portman, Lea Michele and Megan Fox were all smiles wearing the color.


Covered Shoulders

Sandra Bullock in Jenny Pakham.

Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad.

Scarlet Johansson in Elie Saab.
This year, it is all about conservatism. Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Lopez (would you believe?) and Scarlet Johansson covered up their shoulders.


Emerald Green

Elizabeth Moss in Donna Karan.

Mila Kunis in Vera Wang.

Catherine Zeta-Jones in Monique Lhuillier.
It seems like Hollywood stars are also heading to Emerald City. Elizabeth Moss, Mila Kunis and Catherine Zeta-Jones were donning emerald gowns.
