Rihanna in Giorgio Armani was the eventual readers’ choice for BDOTW.

She did look stunning on the red carpet at the 2012 Grammy Awards, but with that two-tone hair the majority of you did not believe she was worthy.

Right up until 7pm on Friday evening I was sure Léa Seydoux in Elie Saab would get my vote, but the pint-sized diva that is Christina Ricci stole my vote at the eleventh hour.

I still don’t know how she is able to make herself look so tall, but she was totally captivating wearing a Jenny Packham gown on the red carpet at the Berlinale Film Festival.

My girl of the moment didn’t let me down.

For once, we don’t have to admire a celeb’s gown from afar because we can actually covet Michelle William’s look from the BAFTA awards! Instead of donning the latest Alexander Wang or Elie Saab, Williams went with a cream and black frock from H&M.

The super affordable gown is part of the retailer’s spring Conscious collection where all pieces are made out of sustainable materials. While you won’t find this piece at your local store this April, you can purchase a gold top ($ 40) and black skirt ($ 30) inspired by the dress. If that’s as close as we’ll get to the red carpet, we’re in!

Will you be heading to H&M to check out the eco-friendly collection?

 

French actress Lea Seydoux is still in Germany where she attended the ‘L’Enfant d’En Haut’ premiere during the 2012 Berlinale Film Festival on Tuesday evening.

My best dressed of last week puts herself back in contention again this week wearing an Elie Saab Fall 2011 gown.

Her black wool gown with pleated lace detailing was styled with gold accessories including a clutch and a large cocktail ring.

Poker-straight hair, which she swept behind her ears, and barely-there makeup completed her look.

BDOTW contender?

Diane Kruger continued her fashionable tour of the 62nd Berlinale Film Festival on Friday night, attending the ‘Festival Night’ party hosted by Bunte and BMW.

The German actress chose this Alessandra Rich Spring 2012 look with contrasting separates for the occasion, pairing a silver stripe lurex marinière top with silk polka dot skirt.

I always appreciate contrasting prints when they’re worn correctly, but I’m on the fence about this look.

Perhaps if the skirt were a bit shorter I would have loved it.

A Judith Leiber ‘Jaguar’ clutch and hot-pink Miu Miu sandals completed her the look.

Angelina Jolie In Ralph & Russo – Cinema for Peace Gala 2012

Angelina Jolie attended the Cinema for Peace Gala 2012 during the 2012 Berlin Film Festival on Monday.

The actress looked very chic wearing Ralph & Russo custom gown.

Her light grey silk cashmere herringbone tailored pencil gown with pleated neckline and matching belt not only stays true to her no fuss style, but it’s also appropriate for this charity event.

Angelina teamed her simple gown with statement earrings, glossy curls and a pink-coral lip shade.

Dictionary Definition: pep·lum (p p l m). n. pl. pep·lums. 1. A short overskirt or ruffle attached at the waistline of a jacket, blouse, or dress. 2. See peplos.

CSG Defintion: peplum 1. Pretty, polished and polite, this dainty ruffle can look proper, yet extremely modern when worn for Spring 2012. 2. Workplace appropriate when attached to the waistline of a sheath dress or pencil skirt. 3. Provides hours of post-office fun when it adorns a bold-colored tank or chic, fashion forward jacket. 4. Soon to be seen on the likes of the frock-wearing Kate Middleton, but equally as likely on the edgy, yet glamorous Gwen Stefani. 5. See also flouncy, flirty, fun and feminine.

 

1. Alice + Olivia Short Sleeve Peplum Dress ($ 264)

Our prediction? You’ll be seeing this LBD on Princess Kate Middleton. Its classic lines are adorned with a peplum, making it mesh with Kate’s signature style, a mix of sophistication and youthful, modern style.

2. Alice + Olivia Carly Short Peplum Skirt ($ 198)

Purple perfection. Pair this plummy mini with a sleek black top or an equally feminine draped tank for your twist on the cocktail dress. Sleek mini skirt with waistline peplum.

3. Alexander McQueen Peplum Detailed Jacket ($ 2815)

Gwen Stefani style. Can’t you see the songstress pair this edgy cotton jacket with a sleek, cropped pant and bold-colored platform pump? Its high, structured collar provides a stunning contrast to its ruffled waistline. Glam and edge at the same time!

4. Carven Cotton-jersey and Silk-organza Peplum Top ($ 265)

Just plain sweet, this top blushes its way into your wardrobe with its super soft fabrication, blush color, and neck-baring boatneck. Pair with boyfriend jeans or a simple pencil skirt.

5. Forever21 Sleeveless Peplum Top ($ 18)

The bold and the beautiful. This fresh tangerine top looks great with white, whether it be a crisp short or a pair of skinny crops. Add your favorite sandal for summertime fun.

Meryl Streep showed off an sexier, more daring side on the red carpet at the 2012 BAFTA Awards in London this evening.

Perhaps as an ode to the British award ceremony and character she playd in ‘The Iron Lady’, Meryl chose to wear a look by legendary British designer, Vivienne Westwood.

Meryl teamed her signature Westwood strapless black gown with a lightly embellished corset belt and a bolero with the same sparkling details.

This is a considerably revealing ensemble for the ‘Best Actress’ nominee, who we tend to see covered up and looking drab on the red carpet.

Despite her windswept hair, which is terribly aging unfortunately, I do love this look for Meryl.

It’s her best look so far as it actually looks like she made a real effort on this occasion.
