Event Clothing - Vanity Fair

Had enough OSCAR yet?! Me, NEVER..lol

Unless you frequent the blogs you might not have seen the fashions from the hottest post OSCAR bash, the VANITY FAIR party!  If you are 'someone' you are there!  And just as important as the red carpet fashions are the 'green' carpet styles are just as top notch.  Celebs that attended the actual show switch outfits just because they can!

Here are the pictures of the lovely, gorgeous ladies in their dresses!

Amy Adams in this almost liquid silver dress.  It screams vixen, a perfect party dress.

Cameron Diaz went from nude on the red carpet to this very much on trend tangerine stunner.  What you don't see in this picture is a long zipper right to the bottom on the back.  Details make everything sweeter.

Claire Danes made a statement of pretty in pink!

Diane Kreuger was wow in a red dress with a slight lingerie feel with the bandeau.

 Julie Bowen on the tangerine tango train too.  The draping of the skirt made this halter dress have 70's almost Grecian feel to it.  Thought the matching shoes was a but much, think gold would have been better.

January Jones in a foliage inspired dress.  As much as I don't like it, I kinda do.  At least she took a chance!

Emma Stone changed from a red dress to this semi sheer peplum dress.  Loved the young and modern feel to it.  She killed it at both events!

Elizabeth Olson in this great satin tee and skirt combo.  Like above, wearing a sheer peplum layered frock.

This dress hands down was my favourite!  Elizabeth Banks knocked it out of the park in this dress!

Jennifer Lopez changed into another deep-V dress.  I liked this maroon one better then she wore to the OSCARS.

Jennifer Westfeld knew how to accent the green carpert in purple velvet! Great choice with her blonde hair, classic and sophisticated, perfect!

Kate Beckinsale took a chance in the abstract cut-out dress.  Although I am not the biggest fan on the dress, she made it look damn good!..lol

Kate Hudson fringed right out!  Still can't believe she just had a kid!!  I thought the hair down was the perfect styling for this very busy dress, balanced it completely.

Kate Bosworth had so much going on with this dress, short, beading, sheer cutouts, a belt; yet it totally worked.  Plus I think NAVY in such an in colour right now it was a great choice.

Nude Perfection is what Olivia Munn was.  Dipped in gold, WOW, although the dress looks like it should be ironed no?!

The Williams sisters were a breathe of fresh fashion air in their bright dresses!  Great choice for these athletes.  The dresses were fun and showed off their amazing arms!

Lily Collins looked her age and yet ageless in this amazing baby blue lace print.  She is very much coming into her fashion own, and this dress puts her on the fashion map perfectly.

Katie Holmes in navy was a great choice.  Looked great with her hair.  Thought the dress was simple and elegant.  Wasn't 100% with the white clutch thought a pop of colour would have been better.

Olivia Wilde's dress was great.  Just think we could have chosen a better necklace or some earrings.  Fell short in the styling.

Zoe Saldana in this black satin outfit was nice.  A trend we are seeing are these brooches on the hips even Angelina had on her hip that night too.  Start getting out those brooches ladies!

Paula Patton is pregnant, for real!  You wouldn't even know. Think the dress is fun and flirty, no major WOW factor to it.

Rosie Hunting-Whiteley in a red column.  Need I say more, tall drink of red water!  On the arm of her actor boyfriend she was the accessory! lol

Sofia Vergara never makes a mistake!  Loved the stacked bangles and the teal snake print bag.  What a great way to accent a white dress.

Like Ms. Angelina Jolie, Ms. Posh Spice Victoria can work a dress!  Simple and easy, a touch of leather, she was for sure effortless.  And a great dinner ring to boot!

Event Clothing...


 
It’s that time of year again, Wimbledon!  Prep your mint julep drinks, your strawberries and cream, don your best whites and keep score.  In 2008 I had the amazing privilege of sitting six rows back on centre court to watch Roger Federer play.  There was definitely some horseshoes in my life that day.  I met a lady on the train on the way to the courts; thinking I could just show up and walk around, she advised me that it doesn't work that way and she offered me her husbands ticket because he was not able to make it.  I pondered it, and then decided to spend all the cash I had in my wallet and take this once in a life time opportunity.  I should note then when I bought her ticket I had no idea where the seat was.  Again horseshoe!  Imagine my surprise when I found out it was six rows back from the Number One seated player in the world at the time.

Because my intent that hot and sunny British day was to just walk around and see the courts and grounds I was dressed in a black linen blouse and jeans!  Suffice to say, I spent 6 hours in the hot sun, and was completely not dressed properly for that day.  And to top it off, since I had spent all my money on the ticket I didn't even have money for water.  It was a LONG HOT day!..lol

With watching Wimbledon this week it got me to thinking if I could do it over again, what would I wear to enjoy the day more?  So below is my dream outfit!  Some light and breezy white linen pants, a nice colourful cotton shirt.  A classic navy cardigan for when the sun goes down around the 5pm match and the shady areas.  Some great accessories and a fantastic structured cross-body bag with some uber-colour power!  Wimbledon is a classy event so the outfit has to match the venue for sure.

Everyone, Ready, Set, Match!!
