Kristin Cavallari at Victoria's Secret dinner

Brightening up the room

Kristin Cavallari looked glowing at a dinner event hosted by Victoria's Secret last month. Despite the fact that she is wearing the most simple of outfits she still looks bright and stunning.

What I love about the dress is the colour. The gorgeous light blue tone is perfect for Kristin's skin tone and I love the angled and simplistically structured nature of the dress. It's by Naven Los Angeles, a collection filled with cocktail dresses that are both understated by design, yet bold with it's bright block colours.

Kristin's dress is still available in other colours. Click here for "Cranberry" and "Vegas Blue" or here for "Black".

Sarah Hyland at the Harry Potter premiere.

LBD with a twist

Pictured above is Modern Family star Sarah Hyland at the premiere of the last Harry Potter movie. I usually brush past this kind of look, finding it boring, but something about Sarah in this outfit really shines.

She is wearing a lovely cocktail dress by Paule Ka and what I love so much about it is the blue detailing of the skirt. She then keeps it simple with a plain black pair of peeptoed slingbacks.

Designer feature: Katharine Kidd

Hollywood evening wear.

How classically beautiful do Ashley Benson and Kaley Cuoco look in the photo above? Both ladies are wearing dresses by Katharine Kidd, a California-based designer quickly becoming popular in Hollywood.

I first came across Katharine Kidd when I saw Ashley on the Jimmy Kimmel show. I usually don't have much to say about LBDs but I thought hers, as well as her styling, was gorgeous. I then went on to find out that Kaley's light and elegant Golden Globes dress was also by Katherine Kidd.

I can easily see her becoming a favourite in the celebrity fashion world. This quote from her website describes the style perfectly:

"a balance between the bygone era of 40s and 50s glamour with today’s sophisticated female, Katharine Kidd designs perfectly capture a feminine aesthetic that exudes both old-world chic and a modern day freshness."

The Duchess of Cambridge on official duty

Kate Middleton causes another fashion frenzy

Fresh off her honeymoon with William, Duke of Cambridge, Kate Middleton went straight into her duties as a Royal with an official meeting with the Obamas (who were on their state visit to the UK and Ireland earlier this week). Even after marriage, Kate continues to be an international fashion icon. During the meeting, she chose to sport a gorgeous dress by high-street retailer Reiss.

The "Shola" dress she wore is elegant, classy and retails at just £175. It's no wonder it sold out within hours of this photo being released. Second-hand versions are being sold over ebay at prices over £400! Luckily, Reiss will be restocking the dress in order to meet unprecedented demand.

People's Choice Awards 2011

New year, blue carpet

Wednesday marked the beginning of red carpet fashion in 2011. Entertainers came together to celebrate the People's Choice Awards, and they certainly wowed us on the "blue carpet". Pictured above are "Shake It Up" star Bella Thorne and actor/singer Selena Gomez, my personal picks for best dressed. Bella is wearing a stunning nude dress by Haute Hippie and Selena's "butterfly dress" is by Irina Shabayeva. Both numbers are beautiful and elegant but still very youthful. Below are my other favourite looks of the night:

 1 - Ashley Benson wears an asymmetrical Paule Ka dress  2 - Lucy Hale brightens up the blue carpet in Ronald Abdala   3 - Selena Gomez is featured again wearing Paule Ka   4 - Taylor Swift looks classy in a dress by J. Mendel   5 - Kristen Stewart is wearing Reem Acra  6 - "The Roommate" stars Minka Kelly and Leighton Meester wear Vivienne Westwood and Vionnet respectively. Who were your favourites at the 2011 PCAs? Let me know!

Carolina Herrera featuring Dianna Agron

Red carpet royalty

Dianna Agron was probably one of the best dressed stars of 2010. Last year was a huge year for her hit show "Glee" which meant more opportunities for Dianna to show off her amazing red carpet style. What do these three dress have in common apart from their beauty and elegance? All are by fashion designer Carolina Herrera.

I'm sure most of you have heard of her as she is a major force in the celebrity fashion world. What I love about her designs is the classic, feminine vibe they exhibit. Look hard and you'll also find some edgier and more innovative styles in her collections.

As for Dianna Agron, I'm sure the stunning star has plently more to surprise us with in 2011 both on Glee and on the red carpet.

Victoria Justice wears Left on Houston

Sweater-dressing

With the temperature dropping in most parts of the world, sweaters are becoming the go to fashion item. Earlier this month Victoria Justice was out shopping the streets of LA in this interesting number (pictured above).

She is wearing a sweater dress by Left on Houston and it's certainly a cute piece. I personally don't like the way she paired it with those black cowboy boots. Nevertheless, she looks great. What do you think?

Nina Dobrev at the Scream Awards 2010

All-black never looked so good

Pictured above is actress Nina Dobrev, representing her hit TV show The Vampire Diaries at the 2010 Scream Awards. Nina is always looking absolutely fabulous on the red carpet and this look is no exception. Her stylist definitely deserves a raise.

Nina is wearing a dress by Rock and Republic which is, for a red carpet dress, relatively affordable. What I love about it is the design - it's very rare these days to see a little black dress of this style. It's classy and sophisticated but still age-appropriate. The black theme continues with the beautiful accessories, which add to the elegance of the look.

Twilight stars in Alice + Olivia

Christian & Anna share designers

Pictured above are Twilight stars Christian Serratos and Anna Kendrick attending the Blackberry Torch Launch party. Both girls are wearing gorgeous dresses by celebrity favourite Alice + Olivia.

The first is my favourite. It's a stunning brown sequin dress that is perfect for formal nights out. If you want, you can use lots of bold jewellery to glam it up, but I like the way Christian kept it simple yet still fabulous. The second is much more casual in comparison but still cute. I like the versatility of the dress, as it has the potential to be used for multiple occasions.

To buy the first dress, go to Neiman Marcus and for the second one, click here.

Blake Lively at the Met Gala 2010

Best dressed in New York

The 2010 Met Costume Institute Gala was held in New York City earlier this year, and I have to say that Blake Lively stole the show - she was definitely my pick for best dressed on the red carpet.

Blake Lively wore a beautiful dress by Marchesa, part of the Fall/Winter 2010 collection. The dress is one-shoulder and a striking blue, decorated with a pretty and elaborate floral detail. The shape, the design and the colour are what I love about this dress and what make it so unique.

Marchesa is known for it's stunning and graceful dresses (for an example, check out the post on Taylor Momsen's red carpet style). However, what I love even more about Blake's dress is that it's short. Blake manages to be elegant while still being age-appropriate, because after all, she's young and so should be having fun with fashion!

Katie Cassidy on the set of Gossip Girl

Daytime on the Upper East Side

Say hello to one of the newest additions to the Gossip Girl cast. Katie Cassidy will be joining the show in season 4 as Juliet Sharp, Nate's new girlfriend and a Columbia University student. Juliet has already made her mark in Manhattan with this lovely high-end, high-fashion outfit.

Juliet is wearing a dress by Yigal Azrouel. This dress is so typical Upper East Side. I can see Blair wearing something just like it. What I love about it is the nude colour, the bodycon shape, and the cute ruffled detail on the side.

As well as the dress, Juliet is wearing a Carlos Falchi handbag and a great pair of Dolce & Gabbana leopard print heels.

Kerry Washington, A Broadway Celebration at the White House

Embellished evening wear

Spotted at the "A Broadway Celebration" at the White House earlier this week was actress Kerry Washington. Although it's difficult to see from the image, she was wearing a very beautiful Alice + Olivia dress.

The "gabby embellished blouson tank dress" is a cute and sophisticated number, and what's great about the dress is that it's formal without being too loud. I've seen very similar designs (loose with grey and white stripes) for casual dresses in many high street stores, but the embellishments are what make it evening-appropriate.
