Slimming optical illusion dresses

Well, slimming illusion dresses have been in the scene for quite a while but it was only during Cannes Film Festival that we took notice of its actual slimming effect. Who could forget this image of Kate Winslet wearing a Stella McCartney color block illusion dress that lifted and tucked her in all the right places? 

This is way better than going under the knife, don't you think?

A Herve Leger bandage dress isn't always what you think it is

A Herve Leger bandage dress isn't always body hugging and cleavage showing. Surprised? I was... when I first saw this:

Herve Legre A-line bandage dress, $1350 at Net-A-Porter.

Yup! An A-line Herve Leger bandage dress that can be worn by ladies who are conscious of their wide hips.

Amanda Bynes needs help!

Where is support when you need one?

Poor Amanda Bynes forgot to perk up her girls before leaving the house. But that's not the worst part... she forgot to look in the mirror, too. Her Herve Leger dress, Christian Louboutin fringe booties, clutch and accessories are a total mismatch.

This girl needs a fashion intervention.

2011 SAG Awards Arrival Photos

Congratulations to the winners of the recently concluded Screen Actors' Guild (SAG) Awards. And as usual, I had a feast looking at the gorgeous photos of Hollywood stars. Here are some of the arrival photos.

Let me start off with a surprise from Tina Fey who is not wearing black or a jumpsuit. She looks gorgeous in this lace Oscar de la Renta gown. And if she'll continue dressing like this, she'll be taken more seriously as a comedienne on the red carpet (love the irony).

Mila Kunis looks young, fresh, having lots of fun... who wouldn't be if you are wearing an Alexander McQueen? Between kissing Natalie Portman in Black Swan and dancing ballet, this gown is the best thing that ever happened to her.

Lea Michele keeps it clean in this sparkling Oscar de la Renta gown that she accessorized with a golden slim belt . It is a fashion rebound like no other after the pink gown that got not so rave reviews. I wonder where she learned to pose like that.

I love this dreamy Monique Lhuillier gown but unfortunately Angie Harmon doesn't have the right personality to carry it. This has been done before and Penelope Cruz set the standards so high that it is hard to surpass.

It's good thing January Jones covered up for the SAGs and she's taking risks again by wearing this gold lace gown by Carolina Herrera. If only she had a different hairstyle, this could be on top of my best dressed list.

I didn't recognize Dianna Agron. It's the makeup that killed the look. The lace tea length Chanel gown is so cute, I wish she kept the cuteness by wearing lighter makeup. 

I really adore Amy Adams's red carpet choices. Here, she is wearing a fitted Herve L. Leroux gown that made her look like a modern Grecian goddess.

As usual, Hilary Swank hit all the right notes in this one-shoulder Versace gown. 

That's more like it!. Eva Longoria looks definitely better here compared to the black gown she wore during the Golden Globes.

The ubiquitous bandage dress

Bandage dresses has been around since 2009 when Herve Leger introduced it and never left the Hollywood scene since then.  Although Audrina Patridge and Heidi Montag made bandage dresses their signature look, I personally believe that Kim Kardishian made the uber sexy dress more famous.  

In one poll conducted by Mycelebrityfashion.co.uk, fifty seven percent of respondents say that it is the most promiscuous clothing item followed by crop tops with fifty three percent and corset tops with only fifty one percent.  Underwear worn as outerwear did not even make it in the top three, would you believe?

And while men will drool over women who are wearing what they call 'promiscuous' dress, we simply could not get our hands (mind) on wearing it even for a day.  A Herve Leger bandage dress costs around $750 to over $2,000, worry not, you can still wear bandage dresses without breaking a bank.
