Shopping: Giambattista Valli x H&M Lookbook and Full Collection

7 October, 2019 Nelia

giambattista-valli-hm-collection-lookbook
Even though it’s only been a few months, it feels like it’s been ages since the Giambattista Valli x H&M collaboration was first announced, and now we have just one more month to go until the collection is finally in stores worldwide. To get us both pumped up and prepared to shop, H&M released the official campaign images shot by Kyle Weeks and styled by Giovanna Battaglia Engelbert, as well as photos of the full collection today, and my personal level of excitement has just gone through the roof. Despite my affinity for fancy frilly frocks, this time I’m all about the men’s collection of animal print suits, cool sweatshirts, and anything/everything with paintings printed on. Of course, I’m going to try to get my hands on a beautiful gown or maybe a more wearable maxi dress with ruffles, but I’ll be happy if I walk away with a tiger-print suit, or a polka-dot blouse, or maybe an embellished hoodie.

The collection will hit select stores worldwide and online on November 7th, and you’d better get your shopping plan ready to go by the time that day rolls around. Just like previous H&M designer collabs, this one’s going to fly off the shelves in no time.

Wishlist: Giambattista Valli x H&M Collaboration

It’s official! H&M’s next designer collaboration is with Giambattista Valli, and I couldn’t be more excited. A preview of the May 25th pre-collection was released on the website today, and it’s just what you would expect – tulle, lace, chiffon, ruffles, organza, uber-feminine, and I want it all. With prices ranging from $19.99 to $599, it’s certainly a lot more affordable than the real deal, but just as fun. I’m hoping to pick up a couple of pieces online on May 25th, and can’t wait to see the rest of the collection when it launches on November 7th. Here’s hoping there are a few more gorgeous separates to look forward to along with all of those frothy gowns.

Style Fille: Emma Watson

19 February, 2014 Nelia

Just as I started to feel like I will never see something new and fresh on the red carpet, I’m proven wrong…and I love it! I mean, just look at this stunning Giambattista Valli Haute Couture dress that Emma Watson wore on the red carpet parquet floor at the Elle Style Awards 2014! It’s daring, it’s fun, it’s so effing cool, and I want it on my body. Love how the skirt is an exaggerated bow, love the sequined “crop-top”, and love that Emma chose to go relatively jewel-free for the occasion, letting the dress be the star of the show. Love it all!

This is what I’ve been craving lately. More creativity on the red carpet, and less beige blah embroidered mermaid-skirted “Taylor-Swiftness”. Is that too much to ask?

Independent Spirit Awards 2013: Green with Envy

23 February, 2013 Nelia

kerry-washington-giambattista-valli-spirit-awards-2013

Even though Indie Spirit Awards are the last award stop before the Oscars, both Kerry Washington and Zoe Saldana brought their A-game to the pink carpet. Kerry in a beautiful Giambattista Valli Couture floral dress, matching shoes, and lovely fresh makeup, looked super radiant. For someone who’s mostly on TV these days, Kerry sure does have a great stylist with access to beautiful clothes. I’ve been loving her red carpet choices lately, and can’t wait to see what she wears this Sunday.

Zoe Saldana also wore green, but instead of floral, she went for a chic wide-striped Dolce & Gabbana dress. And though I would probably add some statement earrings or a necklace to this look, I think those white pumps were a pretty kick-ass accessory.

What do you think of Kerry’s and Zoe’s looks? Which leading lady wore green best? Share in the comments.

Emmy Awards 2012: Best Dressed

25 September, 2012 Nelia

julianna-margulies-giambattista-valli-emmy-2012

I realize that Emmy Awards are just the beginning of the award season and aren’t as prestigious as, say, the Oscars, so in order not to use up all of their “good” outfits, the stars choose their safer options to get the red carpet circuit started…but was I the only person that found the majority of Emmy’s attendees wearing the I-AM-BORED-OUT-OF-MY-MIND-I-COULD-FALL-ASLEEP gowns? My gawd, even some of my favorite actresses wore dresses that belonged on one of those Desperate Housewives of Idaho broads.

Anyway…there were a few ladies, who I actually thought looked exciting at the Emmy’s…and they were…imaginary drumroll…Julianna Margulies in a gorgeous…GORGEOUS Giambattista Valli printed gown, January Jones in a lovely and dramatic Zac Posen stunner, Emilia Clarke in a fresh embroidered Chanel dress, Ginnifer Goodwin in a Monique Lhullier orange-crush beaded frock, and my favoritest lady of all – Tina Fey in an elegant Vivienne Westwood gown.

So these are my personal faves, but what about you? Which gowns did you like/love/hate/couldn’t care less about at the Emmy’s this year? Share in the comments!

Style Fille: Diane Kruger in Cannes

16 May, 2012 Nelia

diane-kruger-cannes-versus-jimmy-choo

How much do you love Diane Kruger’s outfit here? On a scale of 1 to 10, I think it’s a hard 11! That Versus dress…it actually looks classy on her, doesn’t it? With all the cut-outs and laces, it still looks 100% Diane and 100% chic. Imagine this same dress on some like Lindsay Lohan, and…well, you get the point.

Really excited to see what else Diane has up her sleeve for this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Hopefully Pacey Joshua joins her soon. I just love those two!

UPDATE: Just a few hours later, Diane wore this ethereal Giambattista Valli gown. Amazing, right? This woman, she really does make the best fashion choices.

Oscars 2012: Emma Stone vs. Nicole Kidman

26 February, 2012 Nelia

emma-stone-giambattista-valli-nicole-kidman-balenciaga-oscars

Back in 2007, Nicole Kidman wore arguably one of the best Oscars gowns ever. It was a red Balenciaga dress with a dramatic bow, and she looked gorgeous in it. Fast forward to 2012, and to lovely Emma Stone in a gorgeous Giambattista Valli gown…which I loved, but seeing how similar it is to Nicole’s iconic look, I had to ask. Who wore it best? Whose dress do you like best? Did Nicole do it better in Balenciaga, or is it Emma’s look that is red hot in your books? Take the poll below, and let me know!

2010 CFDA Fashion Awards: Noteworthy

9 June, 2010 Nelia

Lincoln Center’s 2010 CFDA Fashion Awards are usually a sight for sore eyes of the fashion-obsessed. This year’s event, though brought out some major star power, did not necessarily impress in the style department. Perhaps it’s just me, but a lot of the dresses were “been there worn that”, and majorly lacked the “wow” factor.

But among the bad and the boring, there were a few ladies (and gents) that looked both interesting and stylish.

SJP attended wearing Alexander McQueen. The actress honored the late McQueen with a speech and runway show, so the dress was both an appropriate and a touching gesture.

Two couples (well, Devon and Zac aren’t a couple-couple, but they did walk the carpet together), two gowns, great effort by both. Have been in love with Devon Aoki for the longest time, and I absolutely adore her Posen gown, her man-candy (Zac Posen as an accessory, anyone?), and her makeup. As for Iman, I don’t necessarily love this Giambattista Valli dress – but it’s Iman…and David Bowie is her husband and date. And she snagged the “Fashion Icon” award. Enough said.

This being Fashion Awards, there was no shortage of supermodels in attendance. My personal favorites were Irina Lazareanu in Philip Lim, fellow Canadian Jessica Stam in Yigal Azrouel, and Michael Kors’ favorite Carmen Kass showing off her sexy back.

The two outfits that definitely elicited emotion, were worn by Dree Hemingway (yes, that Hemingway), and Jessica Biel. I don’t know if it’s Dree’s hair accessory, but I am a bit undecided about her CFDA getup…perhaps she should’ve pressed her suit better, before wearing it? As for Biel, I think the fact that I don’t particularly like her as an actress (or her fashion history), is clouding my judgement. I do, in fact, like this citrus-colored DVF dress, and can imagine someone like Nicole Richie rocking it without much criticism…so I think I’ll give this one thumbs-up for effort. Though I still think she’s a crappy actress (Easy Virtue made me want to stab both my eardrums and my eyes out).

So what did you think about 2010 CFDAs? Was your favorite not listed? Let me know in the comments!
