Desert Fabulous!Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt: Angelina in Elie Saab and Brad in Versace
The 23rd Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala occurred tonight, Saturday January 7th, at the Palm Springs Convention Center, in Palm Springs, California, naturally. The Awards Gala brought out lots of A-List Hollywood stars (it was sponsored by
Cartier and I'm sure they got some nice Goodie Bags, a nice free stay in Palm Springs and lots, lots more...as incentives to show up!).
Blouson and Cane: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
Angelina Jolie showed up with her handsome husband,
Brad Pitt. The 48-year-old actor was being honored at the ceremony with the
Desert Palm Achievement Award for his work in both
Moneyball and
The Tree of Life. His pal and
Moneyball co-star,
Jonah Hill presented him with the award. Brad was walking with a cane and revealed to reporters that he injured himself when he wiped out on a ski slope while holding one of his twins. Miss Angelina, in case you were wondering wore a beige/putty fan-pleated blouson (she LOVES that silhouette!!) jumpsuit from Lebanese-born and Paris-and-Beirut based fashion designer
Elie Saab. Pitt wore a
Versace suit...and
that cane.
George Clooney and Stacy Keibler: Yes, another A-List Hollywood Couple showed up to the
23rd Annual Palm Springs Film Festival Awards Gala--with his semi-new girlfriend! The 50-year-old actor received the Chairman’s Award for his work in both
The Descendants and
The Ides of March.
His statuesque (and gorgeous) girlfriend, actress, model and pro-Wrestler(!)
Stacy Keibler, wore a black
Alexander McQueen sleeveless and plunging-neck dress with shoulder-padded detail. Clooney's tuxedo suit was by
Versace--just like
Brad Pitt's (did the Versace PR team sponsor these two boys??)
Hot in Black: Actress
Charlize Theron wore a HOT, HOT, HOT LBD--Little Black Dress--in the form of this
Lanvin Spring 2012 by Alber Elbaz.
Interestingly enough it was very close in its shoulder emphasizing design, as Stacy Keibler's (I'm sure Charlize and Stacy were "bumpin" shoulders!). PS: It's ALL about these STRONG SHOULDER dresses ladies!!! The black crepe sheath dress also featured an original cut-out as seen above. Call it, the New SLIT! LOVE.
Also: notice her heels: The Stacked PUMP is about to be GONE. It's all about this delicate late 70's Disco Strappy heel...
Diva in Black: Black was a popular color at this
23rd Annual Palm Springs Film Festival Awards Gala.
Actress
Glenn Glose wore a black gown with a sweetheart neckline, fitted bust, godet panels at the skirt and elbow-length tight-fitting sleeves. I think she looks elegant and refined. Although I am not a huge fan of the sheer panels. Often these slightly sheer dresses look very different "in person" as opposed to seen in photos because the flash from the photographers cameras can be extremely harsh. I always advice everyone to take a flash photograph BEFORE you leave the house! You'll be surprised what the camera can reveal! We don't want any VPL (visible panty lines)!!
Michelle Williams: The 31-year-old actress received the
Desert Palm Achievement Award for her work in the film
My Week With Marilyn, which was presented by her co-star
Kenneth Branagh. She wore an above-the-knee muted gold satin and sequined cocktail dress from
Prada. Again, this dress, also continued the "Shoulder Emphasis" silhouette with its impeccably beaded shoulder-covering torso detail. Oh, and what a surprise: no Super Stacked Heel...instead, a delicate slightly stacked gold strappy shoe. Good job Michelle.
Michelle Williams in Louis Vuitton: This is one of my favorite looks of the night and definitely Michelle's best look of the Awards Season. Marc Jacobs, who designs for Louis Vuitton is the perfect person to custom design a dress for Michelle because you can tell that they definitely have the same aesthetic; a quirky, vintage, girlie style.
