“And so it ends” I said sighing dramatically and looking at my now black TV. Ok, maybe I’m being a bit of a drama queen but, according to the looks that walked this year’s Academy Awards red carpet, dramatic is the way to go. How else would you describe Lupita’s astonishing, custom-made gown? I mean, the girl was sporting a total of 6,000 pearls! If that doesn’t qualify as dramatic I don’t know what does. The truth is that it’s the Oscars, and because of that there is this sort of silent agreement going on between the audience watching them and the actresses attending them: “I sit through four long hours of speeches and performances and you show up wearing unbelievably amazing gowns”. This is the reason behind Julianne Moore’s sequined Chanel couture number, Lady Gaga’s huge custom-made Alaïa gown (ok, maybe that has less to do with the Oscars and more to do with Lady Gaga being Lady Gaga) or Rosamund Pike’s curve-hugging red Givenchy look. This year though something changed: even with a red carpet filled with unforgettable and dramatic looks – hello! Care to talk about Emma Stone’s backless chartreuse Elie Saab?-the attention was less on the gowns and more on the fantastic performances given by the actresses wearing them. This was a result of the #AskHerMore twitter campaign that encouraged interviewers to ask the actresses more than the usual “Who are you wearing?” question. The campaign found the support of many actresses - Reese Witherspoon even tweeted about it before walking down the red carpet – as well as of interviewers like Abc’s Robin Ross who never asked the infamous question. After all, the reason why those women were there was because of the amazing and challenging work they’d done both in front and behind the scenes. The dresses were just the added bonus

Before all the Manolos, the Jimmy Choos, the Louboutins there is one pair of shoes that has been the dream of every little girl (including the one writing this article): Cinderella’s glass slippers. What little girl wasn’t, at one point between the age of 4 and 10, the proud owner of a surprisingly cheap, incredibly uncomfortable and instantly breakable pair of “glass” slippers? They were the first “IT shoes” of our lives, the ones that shaped our idea of the perfect shoe – gorgeous yet terribly uncomfortable- and probably the reason of our weird and expensive shoe obsession.

Well, glass-slippers-owners-wannabes from all around the world get your credit cards ready because to celebrate the release of their new movie “Cinderella” (out on March 13), Disney Consumer Products asked nine designers to reinterpret the iconic shoe! Each of the nine designers - Paul Andrew, Alexandre Birman, Rene Caovilla, Jimmy Choo, Salvatore Ferragamo, Nicholas Kirkwood, Charlotte Olympia, Jerome C. Rousseau and Stuart Weitzman - had the possibility to create their own version of Cinderella’s slippers and what they came up with is simply enchanted. 

After being presented at Milan’s luxury department Excelsior – where it’s going to be on sale until March the 3^rd – the collection is going to travel all around the world: from  New York’s and Beverly Hills’ Saks Fifth Avenue to London Harrod’s , to Paris’ Galeries Lafayette, Moscow’s Tsum, Dubai’s The Dubai Mall and more!  The collection is also going to be available at some of the designer’s stores!

You know how the saying goes: better late than never! 

Even if it’s been a few days since the Grammys and the BAFTA took place last Sunday we just had to reveal our Best Dressed list for the night and gush some more about the pure and simple perfection that was Rihanna’s dress – didn’t she look so good you just wanted to eat her up in her cupcake-like dress? – or the major diva moment that French actress, Léa Seydoux had while walking the red carpet in a magical Prada gown along with her Spectre co-star Monica Bellucci. So, without further ado, here’s the best looks from both the Grammys and the BAFTAs!  

Miss Dior non plus? Not just yet! In this new film, directed by Anton Corbijn and staring Natalie Portman, we see Miss Dior, Christian Dior’s only child, about to get married but things don’t go as planned. Miss, in fact, is not quite ready to become a Madam and, instead of walking down the isle, decides to run away on a helicopter with a mystery man heading to the city of lights itself: Paris. But the story wouldn’t be complete without an iconic song for an equally iconic fragrance and what’s more iconic than Janis Joplin’s “Piece of my Heart”? The perfect love song for a heroine who’s not afraid to live her own life and remind us that “it’s Miss, actually”.

This year’s SAG Awards could be described using one, simple word: meh! Other than a few looks that really reached perfection, most of the outfits on this red carpet were simply - and tragically if you ask me- fine. No big missteps, no real risks, just a series of nice, fine fitting, already seen gowns – yes, I’m looking at you Lupita and at the flowy, chiffon skirts that you love so much! Luckily for me, there were a few looks that stood out like the edgy yet elegant dress (and tuxedo jacket!) that Emma Stone so gracefully wore, proving once again that she’s the true winner of this award season. Other winning looks? Julianne Moore’s sparkly, emerald gown, Felicity Jones’ delicate, blush pink dress and mom-to-be Keira Knightley’s beautiful and feminine purple Erdem look; a grand come-back from her not-so-good Chanel gown at the Globes! Now all we can do is sit back, relax and hope that the Oscars don’t disappoint, after all, you know what they say: save the best for last!
