Emma Watson Made a Rare Public Appearance in a Cutout Minidress

March 14, 2022 at 05:23PM Image Source: Getty / Tolga Akmen It’s not often Emma Watson poses for a red carpet, but when she does, she’s sure to turn heads. At a pre-BAFTA dinner hosted by Charles Finch and Chanel on Saturday evening, Watson dressed in a surprising look for the actor: a lingerie-inspired velvet cutout dress from London-based Albanian designer Nensi Dojaka’s fall 2022 collection, worn under a structured, sharp-shouldered blazer. The emerging designer has been on the rise and worn by the likes of Zendaya, Dua Lipa, and Rihanna since she won the prestigious LVMH Prize last year. As Watson is known for her feminine, polished style, which often includes elegant power suits and preppy, sustainable pieces, her shoe choice for the event was even more unexpected. Her striped thigh-high boots from the coveted Jimmy Choo and Mugler capsule collection took…

The Best Dressed Stars at the BAFTA Afterparty

March 14, 2022 at 04:50PM Some of our favorite style-savvy Brits might have sneaked past the 2022 EE BAFTA Film Awards red carpet, but they couldn’t miss the afterparties. One such decadent bash was the British Vogue and Tiffany & Co. Fashion and Film afterparty held at the dreamy, floral-filled Annabel’s members club in Mayfair - and you’ve got to see “Bridgerton” star Simone Ashley and Lily James’s attention-stealing looks. After Ashley wore a stunning fuchsia jumpsuit straight off the Valentino fall/winter 2022 catwalk, she then wore a gorgeous purple Valentino minidress and matching jacket to British Vogue’s BAFTA afterparty.

Elizabeth Olsen’s Red Carpet Look Could Pass as a Dress and a Jumpsuit

March 14, 2022 at 04:20AM Elizabeth Olsen arrived at the 27th Critics’ Choice Awards in a custom made Giorgio Armani design that resembles a dress at first, but upon closer look, you can see it’s actually a jumpsuit. Joining other fashionably-dressed celebrities who wore red to the event, the “WandaVision” star donned a burgundy ensemble that features a plunging neckline, and puts her sparkly Cartier pendant necklace on full display. The in-person red carpet showcased the latest and boldest in celebrity style, and Olsen took part in the fun while enjoying her nomination for Best Actress in a Limited Series or Movie Made for Television. Working with stylist Elizabeth Stewart, who confirmed the jumpsuit an Instagram post, the California native opted for wide-leg trousers, which were visible under a parting middle seam that started at the belted waist. Still, you wouldn’t be alone…

Roasted Cabbage Steaks with Chickpeas and Creamy Herb Sauce

Roasted Cabbage Steaks with Chickpeas and Creamy Herb SauceMarch 14, 2022 at 09:00AM Looking for a delicious plant-based meal that’s filling and satisfying? Look no further than these Roasted Cabbage Steaks with Chickpeas and Creamy Herb Sauce. You’ll wonder what took you so long to try roasted cabbage steaks and will quickly start pouring this creamy herb sauce on everything! This recipe was developed for somewhat selfish reasons. I was complaining to Jess one day that C isn’t a fan of chickpeas. The man will eat hummus for days but for some reason he’s just not a big fan of chickpeas. So of course, being the loving wife I am I decided to convince him he liked chickpeas…rather than just omit them. I know – it must be so fun being married to me! We sneakily tested this recipe while C was travelling…

Jodie Turner-Smith Makes Waves in a Gucci Dress Fit For Poseidon

March 14, 2022 at 02:07AM There’s a new ruler of the sea in town and the waves followed her straight to the red carpet. Jodie Turner-Smith attended the Critics’ Choice Awards on Sunday in a Gucci dress made of teal silk satin that ruffled against the red carpet like waves crashing on the beach. Beautifully tailored, the asymmetrical gown featured a puff sleeve to the right and an oversized ruffle detail across Turner-Smith’s left shoulder. Like water trickling down a fountain, the expertly-placed ruffles led our eyes all the way around the backless gown to the satin train flowing behind her. Turner-Smith kept the ethereal theme going with a pair of leather platform sandals, emerald and diamond jewelry by Bulgari, including a snake bracelet, and a silver headpiece embellished with emeralds. Short of carrying a trident and using actual water to levitate into…

Selena Gomez and Issa Rae Got the Red Memo at the Critics’ Choice Awards

March 14, 2022 at 12:56AM Red was a popular choice at the 27th Critics’ Choice Awards, as celebrities fully embraced adrenaline dressing, and opted for the fiery hue to instantly get noticed. Indeed, these stars put the “red” in red carpet tonight, doing so in unique, attention-grabbing ways. Selena Gomez’s Louis Vuitton cape gown made a regal entrance, while Kathryn Newton’s plunging neckline maxi would turn anyone’s head. “Booksmart” star Kaitlyn Dever got the same memo, which translated to a chest-baring halter neck dress with an alluring open back. Chrissy Metz’s take involved a princess gown featuring an off-the-shoulder silhouette complete with a wide skirt that was embellished by a middle seam of embroidered flowers. Similarly, Issa Rae’s Carolina Herrera ruffle gown showcased a pretty flower print, and included flower details at the neck. Scarlet was everywhere on the spring 2022 runways, so…

March 14, 2022 at 12:54AM Ariana DeBose has enjoyed a victorious 24 hours, winning the award for best supporting actress for her role as Anita in “West Side Story” at both the EE BAFTA Film Awards and the Critics’ Choice Awards. She was styled by Zadrian Smith and Sarah Edmiston for both events, which took place on the same day. If recognition at the ceremonies was not enough to emphasize her growing stardom, the glow of her yellow gowns sure helped. Her first look was a custom design from the team at Oscar de la Renta, in yellow, draped silk chiffon with a beaded red flower at the hip that drew attention to the gown’s jaw-dropping leg slit and train. Later, DeBose joined the stars who attended the Critics’ Choice Awards from London, sporting a goldenrod gown straight off the Carolina Herrera fall…

March 14, 2022 at 12:31AM Venus Williams and Serena Williams turned the Critics’ Choice Awards red carpet into a doubles tournament on Sunday in a set of matching silver dresses that outshined any grand slam trophy. Covered in enough crystals and glitter to coat the entire Fairmont Century Plaza, the tennis pros looked like a style team as they posed for the cameras in matching ensembles that reminded us just how much we love a good twinning moment on the red carpet.
