Michelle Williams, Rachel Weisz and Mila Kunis, the leading ladies of Oz the Great and Powerful, combine for a lovely cover for InStyle Magazine‘s March 2013 issue. Inside, they don colourful spring looks from the likes of Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabbana and Lanvin. Now not only can’t we wait for spring – and spring fashions! – but we’re also rather excited to see three of our favourite actresses in the upcoming film, which hits theatres in March.
The end of a year always brings about an overabundance of ‘best of’ lists, so of course we had to contribute one of our own. Putting together a list of the top ten red carpet looks of 2011 was a surprisingly easy task. These 9 women – 8 actresses and 1 real life princess – and their 10 ensembles (Emma Stone is listed twice!) were clear standouts in our eyes. So much so that we’re not even going to bother to explain our choices – these stunning looks speak for themselves. Plus, we’re still recovering from our holiday turkey feast. From Anne Hathaway‘s sequin Armani Privé to Cate Blanchett‘s lavender Givenchy, these are the types of clothes that make us wish that we too were Hollywood actresses or fairy tale princesses whose job descriptions included gracing red carpets in couture. But, alas, we are not…yet. So until such day that fact changes, we’ll settle for daydreaming about strutting our stuff in January Jones‘ gold lace gown by Carolina Herrera and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge‘s blush sequin dress by Jenny Packham instead.

I have a thing for white dresses in the summer and the one Mila Kunis donned for the Friends With Benefits photo call in Moscow this week was no exception. The Louis Vuitton frock looked lovely paired with fierce snakeskin Lanvin pumps and a scruffy Justin Timberlake. Kunis has been on a roll since that Oscars dress earlier this year and, in ensembles like these, she’s sure to be unstoppable.

A few years ago, in a spontaneous pop quiz I threw Mr. Backseat Styler’s way, I asked him what my favourite colour was. He said “purple”, without hesitation; in fact, I contemplated his response longer than he did. I concluded in the end that he was right. Any doubt I had as to the correctness of his answer was due to the fact that I rarely actually wear purple. Or have very much purple in my wardrobe, for that matter. This sad fact is a result, I think, of my fear of colour and, in particular, of looking like a bridesmaid. Thanks to Cate Blanchett and Mila Kunis, however, I’m seeing the error of my ways.
Both wore lavender haute couture to the Academy Awards last night. Blanchett was the only risk-taker on the Oscars red carpet, donning a stunning Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci gown and looking incredibly fierce doing it. Kunis capped an impressive red carpet season with a breathtaking number from Elie Saab. Neither looked even remotely like a bridesmaid. Feeling rather inspired, I’m now ready for an infusion of lavender in my closet! After devoting almost 6 hours of my life to watching this year’s Oscars ceremony and red carpet coverage, I’m left with only this post to show for it. Indulge me – who were your red carpet favourites? xx, S
Mila Kunis’ star has been rising rapidly of late, with the success that Black Swan has been enjoying as well as the personal accolades she’s received for her role in the film. Not what I would consider a conventional beauty, Mila is absolutely stunning in her own unique way in this LA Times Magazine editorial.  |
