Celebrity Designer Dresses – Who’s Wearing What?

Celebrity designer dresses are a great way of working out which styles and designers will be hot for the season ahead. Celebrities often get an early start on the rest of us as in the form of samples, gifts and previews from the designer collections. They will be spotted in a designer dress well before it is available to the public. They also have a huge influence on which styles will popular, take for example that Kate Middleton dress that everyone wants.  So which celebrity designer dresses are going to hot for SS11?

Kate Middleton

Of course Kate Middleton is the celebrity of the moment, with the Royal wedding set for the spring. All eyes are on what Kate is wearing and she has shown that even Royals can mix designer and high street and look amazingly stylish. Most  notably she has recently been pictured wearing an elegant Issa dress to announce her engagement to Prince William and a dress by Reiss for her official engagement photographs. The question that everyone is still desperate to know is who will designer the royal wedding dress and what will it look like, easily the most more influential celebrity designer dress of the year and one that is likely to be copied for many years to come.

Kate’s favourite label Issa is likely to be big news this summer.

5 Style Resolutions For 2011

A piece of British fashion history -  Vivienne Westwood Anglomania teal samurai friday dress

With Christmas offering the chance get dressed up in your favourite designer party dresses, new year is a great time to reflect on your style and think about style resolutions for the year ahead. Being super stylish is all about wearing clothes that suit your body shape, lifestyle, budget and personality. You should be comfortable and confident in your choice of outfit and you will look and feel great. Here are 5 style resolution that will help you make the most of your wardrobe.

1. Instead of buying lots of impulse buys save up for one beautiful designer dress   – not only will this help you to build a stylish wardrobe that will last for many years, it will also be so much more satisfying to buy something that you have saved up for. Key investment pieces include a shift dress by Dolce & Gabbana  or a corset dress by Vivienne Westwood. Why not invest in a classic little black dress by your favourite designer, this is sure to get plenty of wear and compliments. Isabel Marant does some very stylish day dresses and separates.

2. Audit your wardrobe - before you buy anything new have a look at what you have already got and what you need more of. Make sure that you fill the gaps and not just buy more of what you have already got. There is no point in buying more evening wear if you already have lots but rarely go out in the evening, look for beautiful day dresses instead.

3. Add some personality to your outfits -your outfits should be personal to you and should reflect your personality. If you are feminine with  a bright and bubbly personality, why not try swapping your jeans for some floral dresses. You can also add accessories to transform a simple piece like a shift dress into a unique outfit. Styling your own outfits can be so much fun so why not give it a go?

4. Shop for your body shape – you should always wear the types of clothes that you love, but if you stick to those that enhance your body shape  you will always look and feel great. There are plenty of books and magazines that give advice on which styles of clothes suit which body shapes, you can try some out and see which you like. Once you have found the key styles that work best for you, you can still have some fun using colour, texture and pattern.

5. Compare your options - there are so many different choices of stylish dresses that you should spend a little time researching the options before buying. You can compare price, quality, colours and styles to find the designer dresses that really suit you. Impulse buying might give you a rush of excitement in the short term, but in the long term it won’t really benefit your wardrobe. You may also save yourself some money when you discover amazingly stylish dresses at great prices. The Outnet is usually is a good starting point for discounted designer clothes.

Why BCBG Dresses Are The Latest Must Have

Ask any fashionista in the know and they will tell you that one of the latest must have pieces of clothing are BCBG dresses. Dresses by the American label are literally flying off the rails at the moment with BCBG evening dresses being a big hit with celebrities for the red carpet. If you don’t already recognise the name BCBG it is the label  of much loved  Azria who has also been the designer for Herve Leger  since 2007. There has been a massive following of his cult designer dresses in the UK and around the globe. Celebrities including Kate Winslet, Victoria Beckham, Cheryl Cole and Sarah Michelle Gellar are all fans of the super body con bandage dress which hugs and sculpts the body to perfection. The BCBG dress is a stand alone piece which makes a huge style statement and requires little or nothing in the way of accessories.

The initials BCBG are from the French phrase  ’Bon chic, bon genre’ meaning ‘Good style, good attitude’. Whilst the designer Max Azria is French (born in Tunisia), his label has an American spirit about it which is cleverly combined with a European sophistication. The brand just goes from strength to strength with everyone wanting to have  BGBC Max Azria dresses. But what is it that is so special about the designer and the brand and why are BCBG dresses the latest must have?

The beauty of these dresses is that they are both practical and incredibly stylish, just what the modern women needs from her hard working wardrobe. The BCBG evening dresses combine opulence and luxury and most importantly are incredibly flattering. Of course, it always helps when a brand has a celebrity following, but the desirability of Max Azria goes well beyond the fact that he designs so many celebrity dresses. He has designed couture dresses for some of the biggest celebrity names to wear on the catwalk including Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez and Catherine Zeta Jones.  Angela Jolie, Halle Berry, Sharon Stone and Alicia Keys have all also worn BGBG dresses for major events.

BCBG dresses are a real investment purchase, the sort of clothing that will always look amazingly stylish and will never go out of fashion. They are incredibly chic and yet unlike the dresses designed for Herve Leger, they are not just celebrity dresses, they are a price that normal women can afford. They are also fun and interesting to look at with ruffles and bandage styles being key features.

You can buy this Herve Leger foil dressat Selfridges for a mere snip at £1415. It is very much the signature style of the designer.

Or  you could opt for this BCBG MAXAZRIA tunic which is a real bargain in the My Wardrobe sale at only £59. Wear it every day with leggings or save it for the summer to slip over your bikini at the beach.

After 10 years together, it is about time he popped the question and put the poor girl out of her misery. Apart from everyone looking forward to a great big celebration and possibly even a day off work, the announcement of the Royal Wedding has brought much speculation of whose brand will be next to have “by Royal appointment” adorned on their stationery be designing Kate’s wedding dress, the wedding dress of the decade and what style she will be wearing.

It is rumoured that she is already having a wardrobe of couture Issa dresses made for her (something that most girls could only dream of). She is lucky enough to have her pick of any designer dresses that she likes but the fact that she has chosen Issa is of great significance for the label.

From now on it seems that just about everything Kate wears will be struck by ‘The Kate Middleton Effect’. Her favourite label Issa by Brazilian-born Daniella Helayel is likely  to become one of the must have labels of the year.

How To Choose A Beautiful Ball Gown And Understanding A Formal Dress Code

If you are going to a ball over the festive season, no doubt you will be thinking very carefully about what you should wear. Ball gowns can be elaborate or simple and stunning but if you have never been to a ball before you may be a little puzzled about what sort of dress you should actually wear and what the dress code is.

When you receive an invitation or ticket that specifies that ‘white tie’ or ‘evening dress‘ or ‘formal’  for an evening event, this would usually mean that a ball gown would be appropriate. Debutantes would also wear a ball gown at their debut (yes this does still happen, check out Intrinsically Florrie’s blog to see what she wore as a modern debutante) and students would usually wear a ball gown or prom dress to their prom. Etiquette is a strange thing, it is often not clearly defined what you should wear and these days many of the more traditional dress code rules don’t always apply or are relaxed.

Traditionally a ball gown was an incredibly formal dress  made of luxurious fabrics with a full skirt. It was often worn with a stole and gloves. These days whilst a ‘full’ ball gown will always be acceptable at such events you, you will usually find that people also wear a range of other dresses include evening dresses and even sometimes cocktail dresses. An evening dress is usually a full length dress whilst a cocktail dress can shorter or knee length.

As with everything in life, it really depends on the event what will be most appropriate. Some balls for example a military event may require a full and traditional style of ball dress whilst others like perhaps a school prom or college or university ball  may be much more relaxed. If it is an event that runs every year, it is well worth seeing if you can find some pictures or talking to people who have attended in the past to see what people wore. If in doubt always opt for the more elaborate or formal option as you are always better over dressed than under dressed.

For designer dresses, look for ball gowns and evening wear by designers including Alberta Ferretti, Marchesa and Roksanda Ilincic. You can often also find beautiful formal evening wear in online department stores. Satins, chiffons and taffeta are all great fabrics for ball gowns and evening wear, you should also look for embellishment or elaborate details.

Whilst a traditional ball gown will always be dressy enough for even the most dressy of balls, there are also plenty of on trend evening dresses that could work well. One shouldered, Grecian  and draped styles are very fashionable at the moment and are an elegant and flattering choice. Vintage styles are also very popular, look for lots of elaborate beading to get this look.

Alternatives To The Classic Little Black Dress At Designers Remix

The Alternative to The Little Black Dress

Christmas is only a few months away and many of us will be starting to think about Christmas Party Dresses and whether to opt for the classic little black dress or perhaps something a little more experimental, perhaps a black designer dress that makes a very bold style statement.
