Kristen Stewart’s Greatest Hits for Snow White and the Huntsman Promotion

With the impending release of Snow White and the Huntsman on June 1st, Kristen Stewart and her co-stars have been making the rounds to promote their movie. If I had to use a sports metaphor, I’d say Kristen has been hitting it out of the park with outfit after outfit.

At the movie’s press conference at Arundel Castle in England, Kristen wore what she wears best: a sleeveless dress with a short hemline to show off her long, long legs. The brightly colored, orange and blue (contrasting colors!), pocketed wool dress was from the Preen Pre-Fall 2012 collection. She shortened the hemline a couple of inches, but who could blame her? In fact, two out of three of her dresses featured in this post were shortened from the original runway look.

To emphasize her slender waist, she paired her dress with an orange patent belt and then completed the look with electric, cobalt blue, Casadei satin pumps.

Detouring from her usual look,  Kristen wore a red, long-sleeved, printed, figure-hugging 10 Crosby Derek Lam Fall 2012 dress at the Berlin premiere of Snow White and the Huntsman. She paired the calf length dress with an edgy, black patent McQ belt with a hanging gold chain.

At a Madrid photo shoot, Kristen returned to her signature style with a sleeveless micro dress from BCBG Max Azaria. She complemented the black and blue dress with a side-swept braid and a black harness belt. The chic dress was also patterned with lace and sheer panels.

Some people wonder if the 22-year-old will always be tied to her character, Bella Swan. I saw her in the film Speak, and I think she may have the chops to expand her acting career. In Speak, she plays a high school student who is sexually assaulted and spends most of the movie silent. I look forward to the future of her acting career – maybe we’ll see her abilities in her latest film On the Road, showing in Cannes. Another thing I admire about her is that she never gave in to the whole tanning/bronzing trend.

Marion Cotillard Embodies Alluring French Elegance

15c5873131a2b018 Marion Cotillard Embodies Alluring French Elegance

It seems like the captivating French actress, Marion Cotillard, has been missing from the spotlight lately, most likely due to the birth of her first child, Marcel, in May 2011. At the 2012 Cannes Film Festival premiere of Rag and Bone (no, not the clothing line), the French Film known as De Rouille et D’Os, Marion more than made up for her absence by wearing a stunning Christian Dior Couture ball gown.

The Oscar-winning actress absolutely wowed in a dress with a black, strapless bodice and a full, royal-navy skirt with a black, patent leather belt emphasizing her slender waist. Her look was simple, classic, and magnificently elegant. I know everyone tries to find a modern comparison to Audrey Hepburn, and to me, the regal La Vie en Rose star comes pretty darn close.

Staying true to her minimalist chic look, Marion complemented her dress with upswept hair draped with Chopard jewels. Her makeup was soft with wonderfully crafted black eyeliner to emphasize her exquisite cat eyes.

Since she is a spokesmodel for Dior, it’s only natural that she also recently wore another Christian Dior creation for another occasion. That one was a more casual peach number that perfectly matched her playfully chic ponytail.

In her latest movie, Rag and Bone, Marion plays a whale trainer who loses both of her legs due to an accident with an Orca, and she must redefine and rebuild her life.

Charlize Theron Is Gorgeously Majestic in Christian Dior Couture

At the London premiere of Snow White and the Huntsman last Monday night, Charlize Theron looked radiantly regal in a Christian Dior spring 2012 haute couture gown. The sheer black tulle looped around her neck like a halter top, and her pleated skirt gracefully grazed the ground. The upper torso of her dress included a discreet beige lining while her lower half was left oh-so-bare and risqué.

Normally, I’m not that big on sheer skirts because they inevitably have some kind of solid miniskirt action underneath, making it look like the skirt is at a skirt funeral, complete with a veil. However, I’m pleased that Charlize went with black briefs instead of letting her hips play peek-a-boo with the sheer pleated fabric.

She wore her hair in a sleek, side-parted, twisted updo, allowing all the drama to stay focused on her dress. Charlize also kept her accessories simple with jade ball drop earrings and a beautifully matched cuff bracelet, both by Solange Azagury-Partridge. She complemented the dramatic gown with black strappy shoes, a great choice to avoid looking too heavy or busy for the sheerness of the dress.

 

47de3e93ce63c595 Charlize Theron Is Gorgeously Majestic in Christian Dior CoutureIn the film Snow White and the Huntsman, which opens June 1st and also stars Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron plays the beautiful, yet vain, Evil Queen who paved the way for evil stepmothers everywhere in fairy tales, including Cinderella’s evil stepmother. Although both seemed to enjoy treating their stepdaughters like slaves, the Evil Queen in Snow White one ups the one in Cinderella by actually trying to kill her poor stepdaughter twice! She probably won some kind of award at the Fairy Tale Villains Convention. Evil Stepmothers Unite!

Hailee Steinfeld is Ethereal in Miu Miu

Everyone has been talking (and talking) about the 2012 Met Gala – the Oscars of Fashion. I, for one, was so impressed by Hailee Steinfeld’s gorgeous & cute gown. Time after time, the 15-year-old Hailee continues to wow critics with her beautiful, age-appropriate outfits.

She wore a Miu Miu peachy pink organza gown with thin straps, embroidery, and colorful glass pieces. I love that when it comes to style, Hailee Steinfeld lives for the moment, or Carpe diem-style, if you will.

Some teen and tween actresses try to play the overly mature, sexy card when it comes to dressing up for big events. Hailee either has an awesome stylist or exquisite personal taste. Since teens tend to be a bit headstrong, I’m hoping it’s the latter because I can’t wait to see the amazing outfits the talented actress will wear when she’s older.

Just like Mattie Ross, the young girl who was wise beyond her years in True Grit, Hailee seems to have an affinity for beautiful and age-appropriate clothing. I know it must be difficult since the Hollywood-Red-Carpet teen category isn’t that diverse, which is all the more reason to appreciate her style.

Since you’re only young once, why not dress like it? You see some actresses trying to wear “young” styles, and the consensus is, ouch, that’s too young for you. I love that Hailee Steinfeld embraces youthful fashion while staying away from the styles that are too mature for her. She shows it’s possible to toe the line between being a teen and being oh-so-chic.

Chloe Sevigny is An Optical Illusion in Opening Ceremony

d8fa8218a35e9a85 Chloe Sevigny is An Optical Illusion in Opening Ceremony

Chloe Sevigny

Indie film darling Chloe Sevigny arrived at the HBO’s Girls series premiere in a dress by Opening Ceremony. According to the HBO site Girls takes “a comic look at the assorted humiliations and rare triumphs of a group of girls in their early 20’s”. The cast is comprised of relatively unknown actresses and premieres April 15th.

I love that Ms. Sevigny takes risks because sometimes it pays off, it’s too bad that this gamble wasn’t a winner. I really want to like the dress because I love prints, but it’s so busy my eyes don’t know where to go – and that HBO backdrop isn’t helping. The busy blue, black, and yellow dress was a mirrored print that reminds me of those Rorschach tests. I just know there’s a subliminal message in there somewhere.

I’m also disappointed by her hair and makeup. I know with a dress that busy you can’t go overboard make-up wise, but her hair is kind of distracting. I wish the dress itself fit her better too – the lumps and bumps are just not flattering.

I respect the Big Love star as an actress and I’m always rooting for her. I think it’s because I associate her with my fond memories of the now-defunct magazine Sassy when she was an effervescent model who suddenly skyrocketed to a huge “it girl”.

Here’s some Sassy pictures of her in quintessential 90’s gear:
