What They Wore: Met Gala 2019


Guys, I don’t know about you, but this was one of my fave Met Galas in a while. With “Camp: Notes on Fashion” as the theme, I was hoping to see a swan dress or two a la Bjork, but my hopes weren’t especially high. Well, I was wrong, because so many celebs delivered! Perhaps not everyone went full camp, but so many did, and thankfully, I didn’t see a lot of “pretty”, “nakedy”, “boring” outfits. Well, Gisele did wear a pretty boring dress and Karlie Kloss showed up a clubby, wrinkly Gucci mini, but I wasn’t really expecting much from these two anyway. Instead, there were plenty of bonkers, bananas, cuckoo outfits…and it was so much fun! Some of my faves are embedded in this post, including Ezra Miller’s epic everything, Janelle Monae wearing all of the hats, Naomi Campbell looking ageless, Tessa Thompson the epitome of perfection in CHANEL, Jared Leto in Gucci and with a head to spare, Gemma Chan in a stunning Tom Ford-designed/Elizabeth Taylor-inspired headpiece, and Kim Kardashian dripping in crystals in a custom-made Thierry Mugler.

Golden Globes 2019: What They Wore


Did you watch the Golden Globes tonight? I totally forgot, so sadly, I completely missed the red carpet and had to catch up on the outfits online. Unsurprisingly, I feel like I didn’t miss all that much. Most stars don’t like to show their cards too early in the award season, and thus many of my usual faves went with snoozy gowns for tonight’s awards (looking at you, Emily Blunt and Emma Stone).

But of course, it wasn’t all forgettable. My fave looks from tonight included Timothee Chalamet in a custom Louis Vuitton harness, Lucy Boynton and Rachel Weisz in Celine, Richard Madden pulling off an all-velvet suit, Janelle Monae in a hot-off-the-runway CHANEL look, and Saoirse Ronan in a slinky chainmail Gucci. I also really loved Olivia Colman’s Stella McCartney look on TV, but not so much in photos.

And while there were a lot of underwhelming looks tonight, Amber Heard’s ill-fitting gown, paired with pretty terrible hair and harsh makeup was my worst-dressed of the night. After seeing (and loving) her in Aquaman, I can’t believe this is what she ended up with on the red carpet.

Wishlist: CHANEL Coco Neige Collection

chanel-coco-neige-margot-robbie
While ski season is still many months away, you may start wishing for some snowflakes after looking at the beautiful CHANEL Coco Neige collection photos, starring Margot Robbie. The first-ever winter sports and apres-ski CHANEL collection is chock full of fashionable winter essentials and technical pieces too. There’s a super sleek quilted ski jumpsuit, chicest mittens ever, a selection of cozy knits, and some cute brooches too. The collection is now available in boutiques, and I highly recommend you taking a peek at the brand’s app or online, because even if you’re not into winter sports, I am certain you’ll find something you’ll love for the eventual winter.

Emmy Awards 2017: Best Dressed


Emmy Awards aren’t usually my fave for red carpet fashion, but this year there were several celebs in standout looks that made me sit up and pay attention.

Let’s start with the fab Tracee Ellis Ross in CHANEL Haute Couture – she looked incredible, and she was certainly feeling herself – just look at her instagram! Stunning, stunning, stunning!

Zoe Kravitz is always my fave, and so gorgeous, so it’s no surprise that she’s wearing one of my fave looks of the night – the magical Dior Haute Couture gown. It’s colourful, it has texture, and she’s rocking it with that pixie cut. Also, if you haven’t watched Big Little Lies yet, Zoe is great in it.

Evan Rachel Wood has made a commitment not to wear gowns this year, and I love how creative her red carpet looks have been. Her custom Moschino by Jeremy Scott pantsuit is both elegant and fun at the same time, and I love how regal she looks in it.


Tessa Thompson was another fave tonight in a glorious Rosie Assoulin gown. The vibe is somewhat similar to that of Zoe’s Dior, which could be why I’m so drawn to it – I can never resist a good rainbow gown. I also love the metallic sheen of this dress, the pleats, and the movement of the skirt – it’s just so fun! Can’t wait to see Thompson’s outfits on her Thor promo tour!


Last, but not least, I am really into Sarah Paulson’s Carolina Herrera dress. It’s not as fancy as the other gowns, but the open back and the sleeves make it a standout for me. Plus, who doesn’t love Sarah Paulson?

TIFF 2017: #Cumberbrunch with Grey Goose Canada and Deadline

benedict-cumberbatch-tiff-2017
It’s not everyday that you get to attend a very intimate panel with a bunch of movie stars, delicious Grey Goose cocktails, killer views, and a pair of seafood towers…but that’s exactly what I did on day 4 of TIFF. Last Sunday, I found myself on top of the world the rooftop of Lavelle staring at the handsome cast of The Current War film. Led by Deadline Hollywood’s Joe Utichi, the panel consisted of Director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon, Writer/Executive Producer Michael Mitnick, and actors Benedict Cumberbatch, Michael Shannon and Nicholas Hoult.

The actors seemed to be in great spirits, cracking jokes, enjoying their Grey Goose Caesars (both Cumberbatch and Shannon had two each, but who’s counting), and chatting about all things electricity, relationships, and muttonchops. When asked a slightly baffling question about getting ugly for a film role, Cumberbatch quipped that he “loved being ugly in this film” as Edison…even though no noticeable changes were done to the actor’s appearance beyond wardrobe. But he did seem to have a sense of humour about the whole thing. In response to the question about the cast’s own relationship with physics and sciences and how it impacted their acting, Cumberbatch confessed that he “was really bad at physics at school”, while Hoult’s response was slightly less modest: “I understood everything and I think that shines through in my performance”, he said with a laugh. Hoult also shared that the cast took a science lesson to prepare for their roles.“Nick is a bright boy”, added Shannon, while Cumberbatch concurred that Hoult did better than the other two in class. Beauty and brains!

After the panel, my friend and I seized the opportunity to say hello to Hoult and grab a photo with the actor…and in case you were wondering, yes, he is very good looking (and tall) IRL, and was super nice about our fangirling.

The Current War will hit theatres on November 24th, and the full video of the panel is embedded below for your viewing pleasure.

Met Gala 2017: The Best, The Worst, and The Meh


I was about to write a ragey post about all of the boring and unimaginative looks from this year’s Met Gala (I’m looking at you Gwyneth Paltrow/Salma Hayek/Jessica Chastain/etc), literally shaking my head at all of the A-listers who showed up in prom-wear even though they have access to top tier designers…but then I decided not to. Instead, here are my favourite looks: Rihanna flawless in Comme des Garcons, Solange in Thom Browne, my new fave Ruth Negga in Valentino, Pharrell and Helen Lasichanh cool as always in Comme des Garcons, and Cara Delevingne in CHANEL Haute Couture. Of course, there were a few other standouts – Lily-Rose Depp in CHANEL Haute Couture looked both perfectly age-appropriate and interesting at the same time, Zendaya looked smashing in a Dolce and Gabbana ball gown, Tracee Ellis Ross was dressed perfectly appropriate for the night in Comme des Garcons, and Lily Collins looked both edgy and sweet in Giambattista Valli.

If I had to pick a few looks for the Worst Dressed list, I would choose Gisele Bundchen in a forgettable dress styled with a pony tail (why even bother?!?!), Gwyneth Paltrow in an ill-fitting minimalistic Calvin Klein that was so offensive to me on a night honouring Rei Kawakubo, and Bella, Gigi, Kendall, and Hailey – all for different reasons, but all missing the mark. Sarah Jessica Parker was noticeably absent this evening…prompting an instagram treasure hunt and conspiracy theories. I for one, missed her creative interpretation of the theme. And though, admittedly, I don’t always love what she wears to the Met Gala, at least she’s never ever boring.

Oscars 2017: Worst Dressed


How boring was the red carpet tonight, you guys?! What a letdown! A sea of blah gold and red dresses, with nary a hint of imagination. Of course, I did have a few faves (though picking more than two was a tough task), but let’s start with a few baffling choices first.

First (and certainly worst) is Dakota Johnson in Gucci. That godawful dress! What is that dress??? It reminds me of Sandra Bullock’s character’s wedding gown in The Proposal. I can appreciate Dakota’s attempt to wear something unexpected, but the colour, the fabric, and the styling are all wrong for her. Pair this wrinkly mess of a dress with limp hair and blah makeup, and you have a major wasted opportunity. Dakota is a vibrant young actress, and her Golden Girls-inspired look tonight is super baffling, unless she lost a bet, or someone at Gucci has a juicy piece of blackmail on her. Otherwise…I really don’t get it.


Next up is Felicity Jones in Dior, whom I also really like…but her dress belongs on a little girl at a ballet recital, not on the Oscar red carpet.


I actually really liked Alicia Vikander’s ruffled lace dress, but that hair! That hair belongs in the shower, tied up so that you don’t get it wet…not on the red carpet. There’s effortless hair, and then there’s this hair…


Michelle Williams usually brings her A-game to any event she attends, so admittedly I hold her to a higher standard. So when I saw her in this simple (read: boring) gown, I felt disappointed. It’s obviously not hideous, but it’s also not Michelle Williams-worthy. 


Unlike Michelle Williams, I don’t usually hold Halle Berry to a higher standard of red carpet dressing, but I really, really didn’t like her Atelier Versace gown tonight. There’s something so messy about that black mesh on the bodice, and the one-shoulder thing feels very dated. Of course, Halle Berry has superior genes, and she still looks more beautiful than most people, but as far as gowns go, hers was definitely not my favourite.

SAG Awards 2017: Best Dressed


Over the last few weeks it seems that the world has gone insane, so in case you needed a distraction, here are some pretty celebrities wearing pretty gowns at the 2017 SAG Awards. Truth be told, I was pleasantly surprised to see some really exciting choices on the red carpet this year. Nicole Kidman wowed in a birds of paradise Gucci creation, Michelle Williams looked flawless in a glittering Louis Vuitton gown, while Black-ish star Yara Shahidi wore a delightful Naeem Khan beaded frock. Evan Rachel Wood made good on her promise to skip dresses this season and wore yet another impeccable Altuzarra suit, this time in rich blue velvet. Janelle Monae who’s also known for her beautiful suits chose an intricate CHANEL frock instead, accessorised with the cutest hair-do ever. 

Michelle Dockery (aka Lady Mary Forever) wore a colourful striped Elie Saab gown (similar to Yara’s), and as someone who loves colour, stripes, and Downton Abbey, this was definitely a hit for me (though that hair was a tad too severe). Kirsten Dunst looked lovely in a bridal-like Dior gown (very appropriate for a newly-engaged star), while Thandie Newton’s Schiaparelli creation looked like it belonged in a museum…in a good way. And while I’m usually not a fan of the “naked” dress, Taraji P. Henson looked simply stunning in her Reem Acra gown. Lastly, I loved Claire Foy in The Crown, and perhaps my judgement is clouded by my adoration of the actress, but I quite liked the Valentino gown she wore on the red carpet (paired with gorgeous Tiffany & Co. earrings), even if the dress wasn’t my absolute favourite.

And there you have it, my SAG Awards 2017 Best Dressed. Share yours in the comments!

Golden Globes 2017: Best Dressed


“I decided early in the year not to wear any dresses to awards shows to be a gentle reminder to young girls and women that you’re not required one if you don’t want to, to really be yourself and that your worth is more than the dresses that you wear.” – Evan Rachel Wood

Not only did Evan Rachel Wood looked amazing at the Golden Globes, but she had a very positive message to share about her choice of outfit. What’s not to love? This year’s Golden Globes red carpet was actually pretty good – not too many boring outfits, a few that I didn’t love, but could appreciate, and these ten looks that I actually really enjoyed. Some more than others, like Emma Stone’s stunning Valentino gown – so appropriate for her La La Land role, almost too on the nose, but too beautiful to criticise.

Isabelle Huppert looked radiant in her powder blue gown; and she rocked that ear cuff too! Ruth Negga’s Louis Vuitton dress was futuristic perfection (and that hair!). Natalie Portman’s Jackie-inspired Prada look was very fitting and both interesting and flattering. And of course, Evan’s impeccably-cut suit was one of the highlights of this red carpet for me.

There were a few others in memorable gowns, like the beautiful see-through lace on Kerry Washington (Dolce and Gabbana) and Kristen Wiig, Claire Foy in a lovely sequined pink dress, and Kristen Bell (whom I love in The Good Place) in a sexy black gown with a plunging neckline. They all looked incredible, interesting, and stylish. As a bonus, I’ve added a photo of Millie Bobby Brown looking super cute at her first major awards show…because Stranger Things should’ve won something and Millie is adorable.

So there you have it, my top 10 Best Dressed from the 74th Golden Globes. Share your picks in the comments!

Elizabeth Olsen

What this means for those who are looking to shop the KENZO x H&M collection? Well, you just got an alternative to lining up in the middle of the night.

These two pajama-inspired pieces are at the top of my list, and I love how she styled them with a pair of velvet heels. So perfect. For those who have yet to embrace pajamas as daywear, I don’t know what you’re waiting for. It’s comfy and chic, and I am all about it. Obviously, Lupita Nyong’o also looks super gorgeous in that amazing printed dress, but in this instance, my eyes are permanently glued to Elizabeth Olsen’s outfit.
