69th Annual Golden Globe Awards: Who Wore What? Sarah Michelle Gellar in Monique Lhuillier Spring 2012

Sarah Michelle Gellar in Monique Lhuillier Spring 2012. This Blue and White Taffeta Ink Swirl Print Ball Gown is sure to be a Love it or Hate it choice for the Fashion Pundits and viewers.

It certainly takes courage to wear a dress you have to know that people will say looks like a Warshak Ink Blot Test! She said that her daughter chose this dress and I'm thinking she might want to rethink taking that advice the next time she gets ready to hit the Red Carpet.

What do you think?!?

Gossip Girl Blair Waldorf Vera Wang Wedding Dress

Yesterday, InStyle.com guessed that Blair Waldorf may wear a Monique Lhuillier wedding gown. But today, CW confirmed that the designer of the wedding gown is Vera Wang! The gown is a part of the designer’s fall 2010 collection.

Gossip Girl Blair Waldorf Wedding Dress

Blair Waldorf will finally wear a wedding gown on Gossip Girl this January. According to InStyle,com, "Monique Lhuillier is behind the strapless lace and tulle gown with a sweetheart neckline and side bow. Waldorf’s look is similar to the “Emma” style the designer created for her fall 2012 collection, with a few tweaks, like the ivory hue and a fuller skirt".

I totally love it!

63rd Primetime Emmy Awards: Who Wore What? Zooey Deschanel in Monique Lhuillier Resort 2012

Zooey Deschanel in Monique Lhuillier Resort 2012: Actress Zooey Deschanel presented an award at tonight's Primetime Emmy Awards in a soft pink/dusty rose strapless ball gown from Monique Lhuillier's Resort 2012 Collection. At first I thought it was Oscar de la Renta or even Carolina Herrera, but nope, it was a Lhuillier. I like the gown, I'm just not sure about the "Modified Snooki" hairstyle. Slicked back and chic--like in the model--might have been a better route.

Red Carpet Report: Weekly Round-Up--Blake Lively, Eva Longoria, Alicia Keys, Gwyneth Paltrow

Belles of the Red Carpet...

Blake Lively: "Gossip Girl" star and this season's "Lagerfeld It Girl", Blake Lively, wearing Chanel Haute Couture Spring 2009 to the Green Lantern Premiere in Hollywood. This gown--if ordered--would probably set you back about $50,000. Yep, that's right--I think the "Movie Premiere What To Wear" ante has been raised when actresses such as Lively show up in Haute Couture kids!!!

She stars in the print ad for the new Chanel Mademoiselle handbag, shot by Karl Lagerfeld of course. I assume it's probably in her contract to wear Chanel and nothing but Chanel at her red carpet appearances and/or events--or at least some of them. Lots of actresses and/or Design Houses carve that out as part of their contract. We'll see how much Chanel Miss Lively can wear in the next coming months...hopefully it will all be Haute Couture!!!

Eva Longoria: Eva Longoria showed up in a mint-green lace over satin one-shoulder corset dress from Monique Lhuillier to the Mexican American Legal Defense And Education Fund Awards. She looks pretty and 50's elegant. Love those stacked silver metallic pumps! Somehow--as high and as prominent as they are--they still don't take away from the entire look. Notice how the runway sample on the right hits the model above the knee. On Miss Eva, it covers it.

Alicia Keys: At first look, I had to do a double-take! I didn't even realize it was Alicia Keys. I thought it was model Petra Nemcova originally (what do I know?? I was really off!!). But indeed, here is Alicia Keys wearing Custom Givenchy Haute Couture by Ricardo Tisci to the Keep A Child Alive Black Ball. So, let me get this right: It's Haute Couture--which means one-of-a-kind and hand-made and VERY VERY EXPENSIVE!--and it is also Custom? Is that redundant? Or just really really REALLY expensive!?

Gwyneth Paltrow: Actress, Country-singer/"Glee" Phenom and Spanish-language-fluent Gwyneth Paltrow is NOT wearing Haute Couture here (well, at least we got one girl!!). In fact, she's wearing a poly jersey "Grecian" draped cocktail dress from NYC fashion wunderkind Alexander Wang to the 3rd Annual Bent On Learning Benefit. Well done Miss Paltrow. You know how much I also love them Grecian draped dresses so you ain't gonna hear anything negative here...

Monique Lhuillier Fall 2011: New York Fashion Week

68th Annual Golden Globe Awards Fashion: Who Wore What? Catherine Zeta-Jones in Monique Lhuillier Pre-Fall 2011

Ball Gowns are another Trend for the 68th Annual Golden Globes (which I predicted thank you very much!). Here, actress Catherine Zeta-Jones chose a hunter green strapless ball gown from Monique Lhuillier Pre-Fall 2011 Collection (yes, kids, we're in Pre-Fall now!). It features folding and architectural-inspired draping. She looks a tad bit "The Mask of Zorro", but I still think she looks glamorous and the definition of a Hollywood Actress.

Kardashians Fashion Styles for Haute Holiday Card

Monique Lhuillier Spring 2011 Collection

Again, I fell in love with Monique Lhuillier's Spring 2011 Collection. Her latest collection will make every big girl's dream come true. Seeing the models parade on the runway, you can surely say that they were fairies or modern-day Cinderella.

Monique Lhuillier used blush ombre and pink floral chiffon, toffee sequin, ivory embroidery, mint organza, stardust silk, and poppy raffia. Some of her creations were in shades of red apple, electric blue, emerald green, and deep rose.

I am really proud of this Filipina designer!

62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards: Who Wore What? Kyra Sedgwick in Monique Lhuillier

Actress Kyra Sedgwick wears a simple Cabernet red/maroon strapless A-line shaped gown from FIDM-grad--and LA based designer Monique Lhuillier, from her Fall 2010 Collection shown in New York. It's simple, maybe too simple for me. The abstract clutch is a great balance to the simplicity of her gown. It's a "safe" choice for her but a HUGE improvement from last year.
