Style: Dress of the Week

I love long dresses. I think this kind of style is perfect both for a casual day out and for formal occasions. And I particularly love long dresses with soft and frothy texture that can be easily wafted by the gentle wind. So when I saw this Emilio Pucci Cyber Print Long Dress I can’t help myself from sharing it with you. Maybe you’ll like it too! This Cyber Print dress is very elegant to look at and quite luxurious to wear because it is made of 92% silk. And we all know the exquisite feel of silk on the skin.

There is always something appealing about the floral print dresses…always think that this kind of dress never goes out of style. No matter what the season, a floral dress will always be a refreshing sight on a person. And it’s not only us, ordinary folks who favor floral print dresses but celebrities and well-known personalities as well, like Kate Middleton. Being Prince William’s girlfriend places her on the spotlight each time. She seems like a simple girl as reflected in the red floral dress she was seen wearing at one time.

Katie Holmes

Straight from Germany Katie Holmes sashayed on the red carpet for the premier of the movie “Hairspray” where she was invited by her friend and “Mad Money” co-star Queen Latifah. That seemed to be a girl’s night out for Katie as she came without her hubby Tom Cruise who’s currently filming in the German lands…Everyone’s got a little black dress stashed in their wardrobe right? And Katie is no exception. Her dress reached down to mid-thigh showing off legs enhanced by the black stilettos. What I love about her mini-dress is the crisscross design showing more of her back. It’s too bad I couldn’t find who the designer of the dress was…

Anne Hathaway

Do you like Anne Hathaway? I do… not only is she very attractive and talented but that she also has her own sense of style. In almost every occasion she attended in, her stylish and elegant taste always come to the fore. Recently she was spotted attending the Valentino a Roma: 45 Years of Style in Rome, and guess what? She had this trendy black thing on! One that I liked at first sight! And it is not only the dress but the entire outfit radiates chic!

Jessica Simpson Nui Tube Dress

The Nui Tube Dress seems to be one of the favorites of some Hollywood stars. Just recently some who were sighted wearing Nui were Jennifer Lopez, Salma Hayek and Nicole Richie. And another adds to their number as Jessica Simpson went also for the Nui number. But unlike the previously mentioned stars, Jessica favored the glaring orange Nui Tube Dress! I wonder why she chose orange when there were still other colors to choose from of the dress like white, chocolate brown, ballerina pink, gray, red, taupe and blue!

Beyonce at the 2007 BET Awards

Gorgeously divine! That’s how I will describe Beyonce Knowles at the 2007 BET (Black Entertainment Television) Awards that was held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles California. And being the recipient of two awards - Best Female Artist and Video of the Year, Beyonce definitely stood out that night, especially as she was in this Dolce & Gabbana dress when she paraded on the red carpet. First look at this D&G creation, I just love it! And it looked really good on Beyonce, her waist and hips emphasized by the oversized belt.

Christina Applegate

An array of stars was once again sighted during the 61st Tony Awards last Sunday in New York. Of course lots of stars in their stunning gowns and dresses have been spotted on the red carpet. Christina Applegate is one of the presenters during the awards night and she certainly looked glamorous in her shimmering green gown designed by Murad.

Posh at the 2007 MTV Movie Awards

We all know Victoria Beckham a.k.a Posh. What about her? Well I think she simply rocked at the 2007 MTV Movie Awards. Just look at her stance as she posed at the red carpet. It’s sweet! And her outfit, it’s just splendid. And it is just the right design for her frame, though tight enough to show off every curve...Wish I had a body like her. But back to her dress, if it’s left on a hanger it probably would not look as good, but on her it’s pretty eye-popping indeed. Well... I could say if not for the pink little number peeking on the neckline. That one is an eye sore!

Faith Hill in a Grecian Style Gown

Another star-studded event has recently transpired at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. It was awards time once again for the country music partakers as May 15 marked the day of the 42nd Annual Academy of Country Music Awards. As you can expect the events was again flooded with stars wearing all kinds of fashion styles. Well, clear the way for country singer Faith Hill who’s wearing this heavenly-looking gown. I think it’s actually silver gray gown made in a Grecian style that leaves one shoulder bare and coming to meet at the other shoulder. The length is just perfect for her tall frame, the hem just reaching her ankles. I just love its style especially the folds and sort of crinkles all over it, but I couldn’t find out who designed that particular dress for her.

I became an avid fan of Sandra Bullock when I saw her movies, especially Miss Congeniality 1 and 2, which she starred in and produced. Her antics in these movies were just so endearing, well she certainly endeared herself to me in those movies. And during the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala last Monday she once again showed her own special glow by wearing a gorgeous fuchsia gown by designer Alberta Ferretti. The gown is just perfect for her figure…a figure, which Sandra confessed, is the result of a slimming-down process.

Ashlee Simpson Dress

Do you like bubble dresses? Personally, I have never liked it, but this time maybe I’d have a change of opinion because this particular shimmery bluish/lavender bubble dress looked just heavenly on Jessica Simpson’s little sister Ashlee. This dress Ashlee Simpson wore is a creation of designer Brian Reyes. She certainly turned heads with it when she attended the action-packed Hollywood party sponsored by Us magazine. Little Ashlee definitely looked good enough to eat in this bubble dress, showing off some cleavage with the tube-like design on the chest and some of her shapely legs as the dress ends at mid-thigh.

Cavalli Marble-Print Gown

Are you still having visions about the fashion statement made by the Hollywood celebs during the Oscars a few weeks ago? Maybe you still have some lingering hangover about the glamour of that night. With this super sexy Marble-Print Gown with Convertible Straps you will feel like a star. Glamorously sexy that’s what this gown is with its form-fitting stretch fabric integrated with metallic print, banded straight neckline with diamond-shaped panels and topstitching on bust.

Travolta League Cotton Dress

Do you watch the Tyra Banks’ show? If you ask me, yes I certainly do…that is whenever I get the chance to. Aside form the interesting topics another thing I always notice is the gorgeous outfit worn by Tyra on each episode. It’s like for every outfit she shows a new side of her personality. I liked one of the dresses she wore on her show… I think that was a few weeks ago. While browsing the Internet I saw this dress that closely resembles that particular outfit. It’s this League Cotton Dress by Travolta.

Jamie Lynn Spears Dress

Eye-catching…yup definitely eye-catching. What am I talking about? Well it is this dress worn by Britney’s little sister Jamie Lynn Spears during Nickelodeon’s star-studded Kid’s Choice Awards. Well it will certainly take some guts to wear something as colorful and dazzling as ORANGE! on an awards show, but it looks like Jamie Lynn made a right choice because the dress just suited her perfectly. She just looks fabulous in orange don’t you think so? This strapless orange dress is perfect for showing off her tan.
