…in my fashion world is red, black and white – as of course, you know. I came across this Givenchy perfection while trying to find something else in my fashion archives. Now, of course, I forget what that was… Image is from my digital archives and the original source, I believe, is Holt Renfrew.

I joke about being Mrs. Rampal in the next life, but I really do admire the current Mrs. Rampal. A former supermodel, she revived her role in this month’s Vogue India. She sizzles on the pages of the mag’s annual shape issue. Mr. Rampal, you are a lucky man. I loved the rock-star vibe in [...]

While much of the world may find it excessive, it is precisely this type of beauty that allows me to dream. And no, not just down the street, dreams… This dress plays a starring role in my far-away-in-a-life-and-land-unknown couture dreams. It is made for moi. Merci, Monsieur Rolland. And are those not the chicest evening [...]

Thought I recognized this face… It’s Canadian model, Alyssah Ali, featured in Chanel’s recent Beauty campaign. Lovely to see her getting recognized by a label like Chanel. She was also in the Paris-Bombay collection, which featured a number of masala-mix models on the runway – she’s of Indian/Spanish descent and was born in Trinidad. The [...]

First rule of red carpet dressing: don’t let the dress wear you. Second? Be age and personality-appropriate when it comes to your evening attire (when a gazillion people are watching). There are those that are young at heart and those that are old souls – it isn’t about paying attention to the number of years [...]

Repeat after me: don’t let the dress wear you. These ladies are lovely and don’t need that much embellishment. Stylists, take note. Nothing wrong with the ladies – just their fashion choices for this event. See all Golden Globes 2012 posts. See all the Red Carpet category posts.

Along with swimming the sea of blue and green, many Hollywood-types were also basking in Bordeaux. One could say the host hit the vino early in the evening, as one of the first arrivals on ze tapis rouge. My mom said Viola Davis looked as if she were made of bronze. Talk about toned! You [...]

Fab fashion accessories were scarce at this year’s Golden Globes. Here are a few that caught my eye… My fave accessory this year? The red lip! It’s about time. Think they’ve heard my complaints over the years? There was only one or two head cases, this time around. These baubles were my favourite – Julianne [...]
