Red Carpet Style: Lara Stone

I've posted about Lara Stone before but never about her clothing off the runway. I know. I know. How silly of me. Models have lives outside of fashion week and Marc Jacob's ads. And Lara Stone is no exception.

Metallics are so beautiful...when done right. Lara has a unique sort of beauty that I think is really healthy for girls to see. She  is a cookie cutter but she is one of the most stunning women. This look is simplistic but Lara has the confidence to pull it off. Brava.

Sigh. This color is to die for. The way that it makes her skin glow is breath-taking. And showing off a bit of leg doesn't hurt too. The high pony was also a highlight for me [slight pun intended] because it was just so fashion and yet it looked completely effortless.

Lara loves her Calvin Klein. The simplistic cut and shiny fabric was the perfect choice. She looks so confident and beautiful. Although I'm not in love with her shoes, I do realize that Lara is a fan of the strappy heel while I'm a chunky pump kind of girl. Personal preference.

Lara looks stunning metallics...again. The detailing on this dress is just...so beautiful and delicate. The cinched waist is stunning. The loose flowing hair is perfection. I adore this look...except for the shoes. But everything else is so incredibly stunning that those white shoes don't bother me. Magnificent!

Red Carpet Style: Zoe Saldana

These looks are very different. One is printed and a throw-back in time. The other is super modern and sleek. The Louis Vuitton is clearly more fashion while the Botegga Veneta is more main-stream. But both are incredibly beautiful. I don't think I've ever said this but I love Zoe's skintone. Its such a pretty carmel-mocha. [i didn't mean to make her sound like a Starbuck's drink.]

Those shoes in the left look are so chic. Adore! :)

That right look is insane. Its balances between the tight line of fashion and main-stream. The embellished glitter looks like a snake is running across her dress and I think that it is adorable. Plus those shoes are bananas. Hello, my name is Lane Newlin and I am addicted to shoes. :)

Zoe matched her shoes perfectly to her dress. The simple draping and clean lines create a dress that is classic and timeless. Zoe could store this look in her closet and pop it out twenty years later. She would still look fabulous! :) Her wavy locks make me envious. Is there any wonder why Zoe is a modern style icon?

Okay. No fancy outro. I got to go but I wanted to blog first. Bye! :)

Red Carpet Style: Mila Kunis

This girl has come a long way since her days on That 70's Show. Mila Kunis is now an actress who is starring alongside Oscar-Award winning actresses and her career will only grow from this point. And not only is Mila Kunis an amazing actress, the girl can also pull off an outfit like nobody's business. That's pretty impressive.

In my opinion, Mila Kunis was by far the best-dressed that night at the SAG awards. Her soft waves mimicked the soft waves and the liquid print on the skirt of her dress. This dress was stunning and her beautiful smile and self-confidence helped her own that night. There isn't one thing I would change.

This look is completely different. This is how to look sophisticated and chic--whether you're at work or at The Four Seasons, like Mila. She doesn't look old or snobby, she looks professional and approachable. I love the elegant draping of her sleeveless top. I want to steal it for my closet!

This floral mini is too cute. I wish the color or the print was a little lighter, so that the camera could capture the beautiful floral detailing but that's just me picking at details now. This dress is so structural and it is tailored to fit her body like a glove. Beautiful.

I was stunned when I first saw Mila in this dress. The blush color contrasts against her skin, the black background, and the red carpet beautifully. The cut was fantastic. The slit was perfection. And I have been lusting after those Christian Louboutins for months now.

Which look was your favorite? Leave your opinion in the comments! Thank you, again, for reading. It means so much to me. Please come back tomorrow. I'll be here waiting.

Red Carpet Style: Keira Knightley

On the left is Keira in Miu Miu. She looks amazing! You want proof? It took me two minutes to realize that there were ladies printed on her top and puppies on the bottom. I could never pull off a lady-print top but I really adore Miu Miu's bird prints. Especially on navy platform shoes. Those have to be my favorite.

On the right Keira Knightley is wearing Nina Ricci lace minidress. She paired it with a simple black blazer and platforms. Never underestimate a great classic. :) Plus, her short curled bob looks amazing. Why is everyone cutting off their hair? Are you?

 Keira rocks the digital print trend in a floor-length Erdem creation. The color kind of reminds me of the 3D glasses you had to wear in like 2001. Do you remember those? The fit is stunning and I love the way this dress just skims the floor. Its so elegant and sophisticated. Her soft, subtle makeup is also perfection.

Then Keira rocks this sheer Rodarte look while promoting her new film. She normally is so serious in her movies and I love her bright, sunny smile. Beautiful. :) She combines a very, sophisticated top with an A-line blue skirt. So pretty!

What do you think of Keira's style? Which look is your favorite?

Red Carpet Style: Carey Mulligan

Carey Mulligan is dressed in a mustard chiffon dress [left] and vintage Prada [right].

I have to admit that I prefer Carey's hair with a slight wave to her short hair. It adds texture and demension. I also perfer her with that carefree smile on her face. It doesn't appear forced but like a moment of pure happiness. She has a great style. But on another note that pleated mustard dress is to die for. It hits her at the right spot on the knee and skims her body.

Then that Prada dress is structured and the perfect summer dress. The print is nostalgic. The color from the print seems to almost match her lip color perfectly. The fitted belt draws in her waist and the nude shoes give the illusion that she is taller. Very impresed. :)

When I first noticed Carey, I was quickly impressed with her super-chic British style. I'm in love with British style--its just so different from American fashion. Both of these looks are rather sub-dued but the punch comes for the details rather than the bold color. The Mouret garmet fits her body like a glove and the proportions are perfection. She appears confident and professional. Those Fendi cut-out shoes balance the geometic inspiration from the garment.

Then there is the Elie Saab piece. Elie Saab is known for elegance and femininity. The sheer skirt almost appears like fringe. Or is it? I can't tell. Carey paired the look with simple black pumps, in an effort not to draw any attention from the delicate bodice--its lace is both sexy and classy at the same time.
