Fashion: The Best of July

There's not much f**ked up red carpet moment this month (I don't know, even Xtina's looking kinda good) except the occasional fashion misses from the Kardashian sisters and a few Hollywood young starlet. So not a lot of bitchery can be done this month... Sigh...

Anyway. There are a few looks that, to me, was the best look of July.

Eugina Silva in Armani Prive

Eugina Silva at the Elle 25th Anniversary Award.

Bold choice of dress and bold choice of accessories. What's not to love? My favorite of this month.

Cate Blanchett in Armani Prive

Cate Blanchett at the Front Row of Armani Prive fashion show in Paris.

Love the bold color on her pale skin. The skirt needs a little hemming and the earrings are a little too striking but other than that, she's working this look. Plus this is like some sorta comeback for her because she have been sporting some seriously hideous looks lately.

Olivia Palermo in Valentino Couture

Olivia Wilde at one of the Fashion Week event.

Again, bold dress and bold accessories. Really love it when this two terms can work together because when they do, it just spells FABULOUS. One of my favorite too for this month.

Katy Perry in The Blonds

Katy Perry at The Smurfs 3D premiere in NYC.

Because nobody can work a Smurfette dress like Katy Perry did.

Catherine of Cambridge in Alexander Mcqueen

Kate Middleton at the BAFTA Brits To Watch event in LA.

Well I didn't have the chance to cover this one. One of my favorite too, I love how the soft color of lilac kinda complement the softness of the fabric of the dress. I feel breezy just looking at it. And to not makes her appearance looks washed out, she pair it with a striking silver clutch and glamorous, royal-ish jeweleries.

Sarah Jessica Parker in Mary Mcfadden

Sarah Jessica Parker at the Artistry On Ice Shanghai press conference.

Fabulous dress, nice, interesting design, striking colors, fierce heels and fabulous self. I have no complaints.

Well that's it for this month guys. Till next time!

Fashion: July's Fashion Rundown

Since I'm now in a good mood and it's already the end of the last week of July, lets do a fashion rundown (before we get to the best).

Hillary Swank in Hugo Boss at the Hugo Boss fashion show in Berlin.

I love the pop of red on the nude dress. I also love that the black and red of her dress kinda complement the wall behind her. Hate the heels though.

Leslie Bibb in Prabal Gurung at the LA premiere of Zookeeper.

Super love the top. But I do have some issues with the hemming of the skirt though.

Olivia Palermo in Valentino Haute Couture at the Fashion Week in Paris.

Risk taking = super fabulous. Love the dress and I super love it that she didn't play it safe with the accessories but at the same time, it works. Well, not really sure about that furry creature she's holding, I'm talking about her necklace. Perfectly done. And she's gorgeous.

Olivia Palermo in DKNY at the DKNY Sun Soiree Event

And for this look, she plays with colors. Well I kinda hate the heels but she wears'em for a cause so I'm not going to be all too bitchy about it. I love the pop of pink but I wish it's a tad darker in shade. Other than that, perfection with a capital P.

Christina Aguilera in Givenchy to promote her fragrance in Munich.

Not her winning look but this is waaaaaaaaay better than what she have been wearing all this while.

Clemence Poesy in Chanel at the Paris premiere of HP7.

She can work a dress made of used toilet rolls but she herself look like a terrible mess. Terrible choice of heels though. You know, that's what interesting about this whole look. It's workable but she doesn't look like she's even trying.

Sarah Jessica Parker in Oscar De La Renta dress and Salvatore Ferragamo blazer at the NYC premiere of HP7.

I'm not sure if I like her heels. Other than that, this look just spelled S-J-P. Including that rucksack. Nicely done.

Kyra Sedgwick in Zac Posen at the taping of the Late Night Show With David Letterman.

That dress itself is a terrible mess.

Nicole Kidman in Elie Saab at the NYC screening of the Snow Flower and The Secret Fan.

I don't have many comments on this one. It's quite perfectly done but a little too safe at the same time. And that heels are one very I-don't-know-what-you're-thinking choice.

Rose Byrne in Zimmerman at the Zimmerman Resort Collection dinner in LA.

This is not a way to pull off a shapeless dress. It's too long it almost look gunny-sack-ish. Love the detail on the dress but pairing a complicated dress with a complicated heels is not a smart choice. And the hair needs to be re-done.

Zoe Saldana in Chloe at the Foundation Polo Challenge.

There's something very Cuban high tea party in the late 40s about this look. I really love it. But this is a situation where a random pop of color is not very needed. Ditch that blue bracelet and she's good to go.

Camilla Belle in Dolce & Gabbana at the Real Madrid FC Meet and Greet event.

I can detect those hideous Miu Miu heels from miles away. Ugh. Anyway, she look pretty as always. Credits have to be given for her because it's not easy to pull off a loose-fitting dress with fur.

Jaime King in Valentino, hosting the Stand Up To Cancer Benefits event.

It kinda remind me of something Kate Bosworth wears to the 2010 MET Gala. Well, it looks pretty on her. The sheerness is a little bit intolerable though.

Miranda Kerr in LOVER at the opening of David Jones's store in Sidney, Australia.

This is the shorter version of the original version of the dress, which is way better. I don't like the sheerness in the bust part though. Rather than showing of her nude bra, I'd prefer more if she just go with a nude underlay. Super love those heels. Fierce!

Olivia Wilde in Emporio Armani at a Nylon Magazine bash.

I kinda love this funky look with a touch of glam but I'm not sure if lace boots is the way to go. I'm not sure if lace boots can actually go with anything.

Dita Von Teese in Vintage at the launch of the Cointreau MargaDita Cocktail.

I don't care about you who don't know Dita. Because in her world, this is a drop dead fabulous with a sweet taste of perfection.

Piper Perabo in LA.

And we end our fashion rundown with Piper here, who looks as if she have been ironing her dress with a steamroller. While she's wearing'em.

Fashion: Sarah Jessica Parker's China Tour

If you think only the royals can go on a tour wearing pretty dresses, well, think again.

SJP makes her winning red carpet streaks in China, promoting the Artistry on Ice, and get invited to events and talkshows (of course) along the ways. I mean, if you got a big star in your country. Better make good use of'em right?

Whatever. Anyway, lets talk about her dresses here. She started it off with something soft, something feminine, something.... Elie Saab. 

SJP in Elie Saab at the Artistry Fall/Winter 2011/12 Launch event in Shanghai

That's one heavy dress to pull off, isn't it? I love the dress but I'm not sure if I love it with the jacket. The dress have enough detailing already and the jacket is just adding to the heaviness of this look. And to be honest, I don't love the jacket that much anyway. The sheer sleeves is making her hand look fungi-infected.

Whatever it is, we're talkin' SJP here. Of course she'll wear the dress with the jacket. But, what I noticed, though, she have been covering her arms a lot lately - with jackets and blazers. I don't blame her though. Maybe it have something to do with her getting older and trying something more age-appropriate. But still, the jacket is too heavy to go with the dress. A simple white blazer with some flower-print textures on it might look good as it can compliment the feminine-ness of the dress. Moving on.

SJP in Mary Mcfadden at the Artistry on Ice Shanghai press conference.

Super love this one. Love the rich color on her. I have no complaint of the dress. I love the color, the textures, the design. Her makeup looks perfect. But one thing that really bothers me is her necklace. I wonder if she looked into the mirror in the last minute before stepping out of the car and was like "Maybe this necklace is too much of a statement....." but she didn't have time to untie it so she just slipped it into her dress.

Or maybe she just didn't notice that her necklace is slipping into her dress. Anyway. Moving on.

SJP in Diane Von Furstenberg at the Taiwan press conference of Artistry On Ice

Fierce heels! I didn't noticed it in the Mary Mcfadden pic because I can't really see it. Now that I've seen it, I super love it. Love the contrasting clutch too. So as far as accessories are concerned, she's doing quite well.

Do have some issues with the dress though.

I don't have any problem if she wanted to wear minis or sleeveless dresses because as far as I can see, she still have the body (and legs) to pull it off. Plus, it have some nice interesting print on it. But, sleeveless, short skirt and V-neck do spells 'Hollywood young famewhores' quite a bit. Adding to that is her super big hair and the shape of the dress that clinches to her waist. So... you get my idea right?

This dress is not so..... age-appropriate. I'M SORRY SJP!!

I don't mean that every agely woman should wear a baggy, shapeless, long dress. It's just that if you put all the elements together, it became a little age-inappropriate. If she ditches one of the element, say, the V-neck, and make it a sweetheart or square neckline, then maybe she can work this look. Moving on.

SJP in Prabal Gurung at the Cindy Chow: The Art Jewel Private Dinner event

She looks gorgeous as always (adore your hair, SJP!) but this is kinda boring. It's like a simple white dress with curtain.
