Have you ever seen The Walking dead series? if you do, check out Daryl Dixon character, who is the only guy that rides kick ass motorcycle amongst the streets of zombies. He is Norman Reedus.
Undoubtedly playing well with crossbow, Norman in his character portray a courageous guy, fierce looking and somehow made it to be the sweetheart saint that i always pray for the writes to keep him alive in the series.
Even though the scenes are required to be looking mostly dirty and poor choices of clothes, due to the severe conditions, he turned out to be having some similarities with the character. His style is very sons of anarchy like, and he does ride big motorcycles! He was actually worked at Harley Davidson’s before he became a great actor and well known.
Being a classic-rock-laid-back guy style himself, his signature items includes ray bans, black denim jackets, boots, and oasis/jack galagher/nippon guy hairstyle. on the other hand, in walking dead series, he definitely have some items that attached to him and becomes his style for the role.
Being among zombies are not the best place to take style inspiration, but what is fashion all about? anything is style. so even in the darkest place, Daryl Dixon with his bike, and crossbows can inspire the girls to have the riding experience in the walking dead!
Norman reedus apparently not only riding bikes, but also artistic and have humorous side to add the blend of his style.
Posing figure
Did you know that he is already taken by the musicians such as lady gaga to be her model in Judas music video? being a Judas in the video really captivating. no wonder she said “Jesus is my virtue but judas is the one i cling to, the one i cling to…” He also being as a model for Prada campaign, and various fashion magazines too.
“Will he continue being a model? He laughs. “I’m not very good at it. I don’t really have the patience. I’m short and I like beer. I don’t like people touching my face. I don’t like posing. The thing with acting is you try to ignore the camera. With photography, you have to work the camera. I’m not good at the latter.””
too bad.
With his soft lips and dowy eyes, he is adorable, yet dangerous looking too! a perfect combination for a guy to have. Filmography Norman Reedus is basically a shooting star after he performed in an action – bad boys – Ireland version, The Boondock Saints I and II.
Blade II, the messengers II, and the latest gig in Iron man III: The rise of Technovore and Sunlight Jr. are some of his path way to replacing the vacant position of the next Edward Cullen figure.
Not forget to mention, he always dedicated to his fans, and posting every gifts from his fans in his instagram and twitter. So cute!

Leather jackets. no matter it’s summer, fall, autumn, or winter, you absolutely able to wear it in various season. Especially when jackets, in general, are worn mostly hanged by your shoulders in this year’s style.
Thank god i have my leather jacket again, after the old one is literally torn out. Here is the new one, i called it “Angie”. It always make me feel protected and becomes my reliable “wing man” for my statement look.
THE BELOVED BLACK -QUILTED ELBOW- LEATHER JACKET.
No matter what season, I always obsessed with leather jacket, especially with biker look details. My obsession becomes worse when my ultimate muse, Kristen Stewart, also making it as her “second skin”. Well the big difference is she is endorsed with her friend, Nicholas Ghesquire, the former designer for Balenciaga.
The New Skin
After only 2 years wearing my classic biker leather jacket from ZARA(The old one is torn out because I kept them away in my closet while I was pregnant), I replaced it with another black leather jacket, only it is more detailed.
I am so satisfied to have found it! The details are incredibly just what I love the most. Biker collar, fine lines around the hips, strong shoulder, and quilted elbow. It is so androgyny but not having too much of a biker feel.
I love it more because I can wear it in 3 different ways! Buttons on, loosen up, or closed up.
TIPS ON CHOOSING YOUR OWN STYLE OF LEATHER JACKETS
1. Get your signature style
- types of jacket
Leather jackets are not always biker. Nowadays there are so much options and variations of materials you can choose from. For example, if you are a girl who wears mostly dresses, or all things feminine, you can choose leather jackets that has suit-like model, or even better, just like the rick owen’s leather jacket. It has loose front as the accent for the cover ups, so it gives you softer and affable feel on the leather.
- details
I go for studs, zippers, quilts, and line stitches. It matters so much to pay attention to the details, because your leather jacket will be worn out, and the only you can save is the natural basic accessories that already sewn on your jacket.
2. Colors makes all the difference to the leather
It almost seems obvious that colors are the fastest way to get the different impression and feel to your look. Not to mention when you are choosing you leather jackets. If I love black, it is the opposite to those who are opted more girly side. Neutral colors are best for you girls! Nude, white, cream, or even red, can make your total look easy going, but absolutely done!
3. Assembly it with the proper accessories and outfits.
Personally, when I wear leather jacket, I downsize my accessories to nearly none. Because having to put on the leather jacket itself –especially the real material- is already much, and quite heavy on your shoulders. The jacket itself already make a statement of who you are and what you want to be seen as.
For me, I always go for strong looking, rock, effortless, and fierce. So I only put on my statement rings, cuffs, sunglass or even my skinny leather headband that is also black, same with my jacket! Either way, I only put on one item as my main accessory.
KRISTEN STEWART’S SECOND SKIN
My muse, Kristen Stewart, has been endorsed with Givenchy with 3 different colors of its statement leather jacket, black, lime and red. Of course my utmost attention is on the black one. She is also stated that they are her second skin and will be devastated if she loses them. I couldn’t agree more!
I am so excited to see what is her next movies project and her future red carpet looks!
I may not able to give her a present, but I can give an homage through my special selections of her looks throughout the years and her rare exposed pics and covers that we may not often sees in articles or our subscribed magazines.
Kristen has been my muse since I have seen her in twilight. No matter how bad the press were when the scandal hits her last year, I always adores her as an actress and how great she is as relatively young talent in the industry.
I dedicated this post for all of KSTEW fans out there that are just like me, can’t get enough of her performances!
ENJOY.
First tour of her homage,
Finally I have been selecting some of new designers that will make Kristen look more fierce in her various red carpet and talk shows appearances.
Hello Mid 20′s, It’s time for new look!
Tara Sweenen, her stylist, is already do justice by picking up how to mix her rock personality with elegance of the designer’s pieces.
However, I am really excited to see some new looks for her, especially when she is more enjoying the red carpet than she was, before twilight saga’s craze. In addition to what Tara’s already styled Kristen big designers name like Balmain, Balenciaga, Chanel, and Givenchy, i do hope that Kristen will wear more who is also my favorite designers, that also fit for her personality, such as LANVIN dresses, Fendi, Aquilano Rimondi and RICK OWENS boots.
LANVIN SS2013
RICK OWENS F/W 2013
Her statement look in the red carpet Is definitely edgy, daring, sexy, but also elegant in the same time. She’s so young, so I am eager to see her in most quirky, edgy, and bare legs outfit in the runways.
She has the most easy going body that can rock any kind of outfit she find. But the tricky part is not to over edgy her, so she’s not looking too vampire gal looks. Therefore, prints and electric colors are definitely favorites. Minis and transparent in right places are her strong point.
I was thinking some new designers, other than the usual big names she had wear, that I am hoping for her to stroll it down the red carpet.

THE RED CARPET SHOWDOWN
We cannot eliminate the fact that thanks to Twilight in 2008, it was the first time she stole every public eyes the minute her step down the red carpet. Her look is always been searched, inspired, and admired ever since.
From Balmain to Zuhair Murad, Tara has made her red carpet look interesting and daring.
Notice that throughout the saga’s premieres, she posed a lot of big designer’s pieces, including Balenciaga, Chanel, Peter Pilotto, Proenza Schouler, Balmain, Valentino, Zuhair Murad, Erdem, and Louis Vouiton.
Here’s a charade of her red carpet look that stand out among her look book.
Awards
MTV Movie Awards and Kids Choice Awards are two awards shows which she always looked more laid back yet still rockin those legs effortlessly.
Looking effortlessly edgy with BALMAIN. Simple Micro tube dress with personal touch accessories has been her staple red carpet look ever since.
YIGAL AZROUEL
It’s High Top over High Heels. What makes Kristen Stewart a Hollywood sweetheart/rebellion is how she persistently shows us that she can wear as simple as Chuck Taylor sneakers over flats to overcome her sore ankle that day.
Enchanting in mini Stella Mcartney Blue brocade dress.
She may have looked a girl who opted for dark shades on every occassion, but you are absolutely wrong!
Though dark and neutral colours suited her nicely and cooler that way, her fair flawless skin will always screaming for bright and neon colours!
I’m telling you, NO ONE can work neon and bright colours as fair as she does!
wearing Osman Studio at Kids Choice Awards 2013
It’s kid’s choice awards! Perfect for her to just put on some shorts and tops. But not to forget the cameras, she always managed to be comfortable without leaving sense of edgy into it.
D&G
If there’s anyone who think that Kristen Stewart does not care about how she looks in these events, well you might wanna look closely how she poses in the red carpet again. Just look at this dress, she absolutely loves how mini dress hugs her body. She posed like she’s Victoria’s Beckham’s sister!
Booty on, one leg ahead on the other and arrow hands like a statuesque figure. She has her own red carpet pose everyone!
BALENCIAGA at MET Gala
Met gala always been a charades of unique and haute couture time for every hollywood stars. But not always for Kristen. She kept it true to herself by wearing unique patch mini dress by Balenciaga. Look at the details, she respect the “dress code” without leaving “Kristen”.
CHANEL
After being Nicholas Ghesquiere muse for Balenciaga, i just wish Karl Lagerfeld would make Kristen as his muse someday, whether for Chanel, Fendi, or his own line, Karl Lagerfeld. She just has this big personality that very much inspiring to work on. All hopes up.
Zuhair Murad
BALMAIN
Another Balmain is another red carpet success for her. Or in this case, white carpet. I absolutely love Balmain, especially when Kristen wears it. I bet she’s in love with every Balmain pieces as well, not to mention the leather jackets and fitted pants.
VALENTINO
A touch of brocade and beads in Kristen’s look is always captivating. Who could have made it best? Valentino and Erdem.
ERDEM
BALENCIAGA
Crisp fitted pants and midriff cutout top from Balenciaga with smokin crimson lips are her too comfortable for Kristen. FIERCE.
Making it more fashion forward by wearing Louis Vouitton new Monochromatic alma dress.
DEREK LAM
Kristen is not all about minis and cut out dresses. She shows how much she can knuckle down every fashionistas that may have trying too hard on looking great by having “hey, I can wear tight-elbow sleeves-knee length red checked printed dress and looking effortlessly elegant too!”
BCBGMaxAzria
Zuhair Murad
Nude brocade Zuhair Murad dress, my most favorite long red carpet dress on her ever.
Again, pose, pose, pose. she did it naturally.
Night and day talk shows
What could be more fun than getting to know our muse, interviewed by our favorite talk shows?
She is known for her secretive relationship with Robert Pattinson, back in the days. She only talks her work to the press. Somehow it turned her presences in these talk shows into a very microscopic analyzed by the online and social media.
So how she presents herself in these talk shows are closely watch. What she was wearing? That’s the very first thing I’d always eager to see.
And of course, she always wears and guard her Balenciaga leather jacket everywhere.
Model Role
After all of that red carpet shows, no wonder she immeadiately became model cover darling among big names of international magazines. Vogue, V, W, Nylon and Vanity Fair are keeping up with her sky high fame.
Though her day to day basis look is far from glamorous, she recently became obsessive to her beloved Balenciaga leather jacket. (Look at “Obsessed: leather jacket” post)
T-shirt, jeans and sneakers. That’s the combo of her running errands key look. But what makes it glamrock is the beloved item that became her “second skin”, which is balenciaga’s leather jacket. And she looks definitely as rockstar fame walking the streets with it.
What makes her more attractive is not only how she turned simple items into must have items, but she also turned the idea of wearing your boyfriend’s items and switching accessories with your BF become most cozy wearing for daily basis as well. Especially when Robert Pattinson’s outfit are the one that blends into hers.
STEW IT, KRISTEN.
I could never see her in worst dress list, because she could work best the most quirky dresses there is. But noted that she was also have some dresses that in my opinion, she should wear something else. For example, when she attended the Snow White and The Huntsman premiere in London, November 2012.
Though it’s black, and she is soing so well on wearing cut outs dresses, it’s just too long for her. it’s brocade, and the trail is also brocade. my eyes just annoyed when i see her in this dress. Usually i looked at her red carpet dresses would be much more refreshing.
Marchesa 2012
50/50
Also there was red printed Proenza Schouler gown she wore in Met gala. When i looked at it at the first time, i am not a fan of this gown on her.
But when i saw the back, i loved it. After all she attended the “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty” met gala theme. The shoes, loved it too.
So for the first time on on 50/50 like and don’t like for this gown on her.
PROENZA SCHOULER
red gown that was a success for her was absolutely when she wore Reem Acra at Cannes film festival 2012.
REEM ACRA PRE-FALL 2012
Then and Next Premieres
Breaking dawn part II already hits box office. That means goodbye to Twilight saga premieres, which always become a madness among Kristen Stewart fans.
In case of her next movies, I am interested to see her mother’s upcoming movie K-11. Jules stewart, being the director, has set a minor role for Kristen.
Another movie that already expected to see is Snow White and the Huntsman II. Playback
The last Kristen Stewart picture selections are dedicated to all the movies that also starred by her.
You may have seen her in other movies, but I have my favorites.
FIERCE PEOPLE as Maya

SPEAK
More relaxed walking about with Robert Pattinson
Wherever Kristen is, she is always attached with her boyfriend, Rob. Whether his shirt, caps, or accessories that they switch wear it, it always very adorable to see.
She is still 23 years old. That is a very young age considering how big her accomplishments are. I am always waiting for her next projects, and her new looks at red carpets and shows.
Where do you get your style from? for me it’s dominated by what i feel the most, latest or last season’s collections of my favorite designers, and what i see available in store i went. i rarely follow what’s hot right now. i always turn back to what i admire and love most for the items that struck my heart and always get my heart pumping.
Another place that i get my self inspired is from various music videos, and movies! you’re probably already seen so much of these artists, but have you seen it as your style inspiration? so for starter, i will reveal my must see music videos in this end of the month for you to look at once again.
A lot of prints, and body suit were the trends of 2009-2010. What i depicted from this video is the prints. they are so interesting, somehow work together in my eyes.
Remember when Chanel gave you their printed body suit? Leigh Lezark was the one who got it all running in prints in the magazines.
leigh lezark
Not particularly loved it, and it only goes for her picture dominating the spreads in magazines for wearing it in Chanel’s fashion show in later year. That is up until Jessie J came up wearing printed body suit in her domino’s video.
the prints are adorable, but the prints in the bodysuit, makes it like too sleep wear. so it needs jackets (as Karl Lagerfeld put it on in the runway look) or knee length boots. combined it the two attachments, you can comfortably wear it for your fall/winter look. As if you got up from your bed fully clothed straight from the runways, put your boots and ready to stroll the streets looking very fierce!
The whole video was following the angel of love walk around some people, throw down her charms to get those people love, and finally arrowed her self, to get her self love.
i just captivated by this video, the short story of it, and the feel of the video is gloomy, desperate but also touched by the beauty of this angelic model that only wears black and white clothes. the wings, and the simple clothes feels so edgy mixed with lightness of feather that created effortlessly fierce look.
immediately i feel very in love about having something simple, but high quality material sweater. that is light as a feather, could have been a 100% wool, mixed with tight black pants that soft as second skin look like. Ankle boots or pumps will do the overall style.
44th President of United States of America’s inauguration ceremony filled with politicians, lawmakers, and chosen celebrities. After first term of serving as the commander in chief of United States, President Barrack H. Obama back for 4 more years. It also means more stylish appereances by his First Lady, Mrs. Michelle Obama.
As the inauguration went smoothly, it was not completed without honoring the national anthem. Amazing voice of Beyonce mark the end of ceremony, by singing her country’s national anthem. She looked graceful by Emillio Pucci’s long sleeves, rounded neck, cut out velvety black dress and emerald earrings.
First lady’s coat, made by Thom Browne, accessorized with JCrew belt and new bangs hair cut. I didn’t particularly love her hair do in the presidential oath-taking ceremony, it looks like a helmet. I have up-of-the-brows bangs too, after I get shortage of hair bangs after birthing my son. So It is easier and greater to do it half up, half down hair style. But I love how she get her hair done in flowy style in inauguration ball.
Wearing more of a ball gown dress, doesn’t eliminate Jason Wu as her chosen designer to swipe her feet in the ball. She looked vibrant in J.Wu’s red halter neck dress.
I.K.Y.K aka I Know You Know is an indonesian label that created in the early 2011. Its collections were clean cuts, soft-baroque like, with touches of edgyness.
Mostly daily wear, I.K.Y.K offers you to have one piece that can go well with your other pieces of fashion items, and makes it modern. There are also pieces that can go well for your dinner party or other special occasions. Such as the tutus skirt that is in the “The Secret Revealed” collections.
After their first debut of the collections, they continue to collaborate with Melissa and Alexandra, new uprising make up artist. they also did the previous collections for the make up.
The collections were dedicated for the urban style of a busy life in Jakarta. Thus makes the items were boyish, practical but still have touches of I.K.Y.K original materials.
Now, they are presenting the preview of their new collections called “Romantic Postiche”. Here i attached the preview of their first video.
Live from Nokia Theatre, at Los Angeles, the red carpet of the 63rd Annual Emmy Awards presents tv stars prime time “prom nite” look a like entrance. Fabulous dresses and suits were worn by the stars. but there also the downlow of the packs from the same theme of the dresses, which were worn by different stars. It is fun to watch them go head to toe in perfection for that one time entrance in the red carpet, and how the perfect dress actually comes out from an effortless style stars.
After hours of preparations, it is time to pose for the red carpet moments! this is the time for the actresses and even some of the actors to be attractive for the glaring eyes of the media they can be for the rest of the year.
Red is definitely rocketing among the nominees.Take a look at the rising star, Lea Michelle, who wears the only Marchesa dress in the red carpet. Strong shoulders, clean cut, with the bare hoops at the back really made her stylish for the red carpet, among the rest of the “Red Themes”. I must say Nina Dobrev also wore nicely fitted dress by Donna Karan. The drapery embelishment at the end of the dress made the catching feature. Though it also seen like so last season “trendy” embellishment we had seen last year on the Charlize Theron’s black shoulder bow, Oscar dress by Christian Dior. Only less dramatic and made her look flawless.
The other red carpet prime dress also goes to Cat Deeley with her Monique Lhuilier Resort 2012 dress. The champagne sequins and topless cut with a small touch of golden bow really works for the emmy!
it is unexpected that turned out the dress is a wedding dress by monique! and she used a grey micro bow belt instead of the gold one, as the original runway format.
The last top 3 dresses at the emmy is Sarah hyland wearing christian Siriano’s dress. Which came in coral hue, another colour that set the trend of the emmy’s red carpet 2011. What i love about this dress is the cut, the one shoulder with a slit down her thigh, but still elegant. Also the preferred of chiffon fabric that goes right with the encrusted swarovski in the waist, the empire waist. it is so young, fresh and fit properly!
I never saw her before, but the dress made me look at her and slightly reminded me to Mila Kunis while she was in That 70′s show, don’t you think? and she won big that night with her Modern Family series and the whole casts! Sarah is definitely comes in the “watch list” of the next red carpet event!!
So who do you think will be crowned as the best dressed at the emmy 2011? it is a though decision, but i crowned Sarah Hyland to be the best dressed for the emmy 2011!
In the accounts of every gorgeous dresses and stars at the event, i must say that more than one you can put them on the best dressed spot. But I picked Sarah Hyland because Siriano’s dress was successfully went through 3 most important categories, it fit, modern, and bring out all the gorgeousness of the wearer! So i think he grabbed all the new attention to Sarah.
THE OTHER GORGEOUS DRESSES
i must say Sofia Vergarra definitely done it so perfectly with the Vera Wang’s dress! it fits perfectly!
love the colour, which is the same colour, and also one shouldered dress with the Sarah Hyland, and they both won big for the modern family!
2011 is so colourful! and yes the 70s are back, and there are reasons for you to wear your old clothes and oversized sweater back. But just for the updates, not all the items are ok to put on. so these are the 5 things you must have to sizzle the look of 2011.
1. ACCESSORIZE
when you buy accessorizes, you need to look out the bold, glamor, yet fun characteristics and wearable at all times. for example, the animal jewelry, or the chains bulky silver bracelet, or the bold and glamorous necklace, which bedazzled your day, whether you only wear a plain shirt and shorts.
2. FROCKS
go wild and flirty with your updo skirts. those who love to wear them, try to wear the mini but flowy skirts. the colour also define the trends, which in this case, you should go for orange, blu sky, greens, or pinks. try to have one of them to mix it up with a plain shirt or t-shirts! and you could have converse pr other sneakers with it for a teen vogue look.
3. 70s tees
YOU GOTTA HAVE IT. it is rockin your day. it can be slobby, but still trendy and yet effortless style.
4. BOHO BAGS.
Bottega Venetta may endure in this 2011. their collections represent the ethnicity that becomes one of the trends in this summer!
5. ECCLETIC QUIRKY SHOES.
you may have the last year’s ankle boots, but this time, try to find it more accentuate with straps and wear it in quirky style, yet edgy. it is best to wear it with the “it” skirt! it will give you androgynious also fun look.
Signora francasozzani said it is perfecto, i said, too much statement on the bag, she shuld have chosen a boho black bag coz she already wears a statement legging and leather jackets. what do you all darlings say?
It is the new local brand from Indonesia. It happens to be my friend’s label. i really can not wait to see the products, so, enjoy!! so far so good fashionistas..
I am so excited this year because i already begun with the launch of stylevanguard, the centre of your style guide and all gods and goddess fashion items.
More exclusively, i make shoes, especially hells and pumps, soo, make sure you already add my new fb account, STYLEVANGUARD MYA.
Wherever and whenever you are, check glamorockvanguard or stylevanguard in fb before you dare going to anywhere!!
The other day when i wen to pacific mall with my stylish sister for work related pleasures, i ran into Angelique Widjaja.
She is a senior tennis Indonesian athlete that also the most stylish athlete in the field!
In here she wore plain shirt and mini skirt jeans. But always, i wouldn’t take her picture if she didn’t wear that rockin’ scarf!! That infamous Alexander Mcqueen’s blue black skull!!
It’s a damn right decisions to put that on to her outfit!! Makes her overall style simply rockin!
Crispy white makes any woman looked never been more sexy and elegant at the same time. Match it with grey colour made it perfectly edgy and simply clean look.
This picture that were taken by Scott Schuman, The Sartorialist blog master, has captured the end of summer and the beginning of winter niches, i think.
I may have love for white and grey, but new neutral colours like camel, olive, and purple and baby pink are still going to dominate
the fall/winter collections..
These are the photos that i adore so much. Photographers and editors of magazines all over the world made this to last forever.
Not only fashion spreads,it’s also excited to see Karl Lagerfeld’s new work on Coca Cola light ads, Christian Louboutin’s dancing, and angles that were taken by the Sartorialist, Scott Schuman.
Of course, there is also my new favourite kid! i think he can be the one who is called an old soul.. he just have impeccable sense of mixing the material of his daily outfit!
I love the way he runs his free imaginations and this made me continue to experiment and ignore the old rules of putting the clothes together again! fashion is fun! who is he?
So these are the photos and artistic works that i reckon to have echoing-value. They will echo and be a trademark style for the rest of the pages last.
Coca cola, Karl Lagerfeld, Giabiconi Baptiste, and Coco Rocha altogether for the new Coke! Most stylish ad so far in 2010 ever..

Halloo! i am finally posting again.. There are a lot of things that i want to share with all of you!!
But first of all, i am deeply apologize, i had been caught up with work so i never had the time to update my blog!
Before i let you know a sneak peek of my upcoming posts, i would like to thank you for all the readers and visitors that has been supporting this blog up to this day. I am very appreciating every hits that counted everyday for this blog.
It means a lot to me, cause this is the place i can work through my dream, and each of that hits numbers has become one of my support tool for achieving my dream.
I always try to bring you the latest news, and compiled all the hottest styles and fashion items every month. But i do want to update my postings.
Having said that, i thought of a posting that will serve a humor everybody will enjoy..??
But nothing more than i want to remembering the late Alexander Mcqueen. He had brought great collections to the fashion world, and breakthrough in his runway themes and inspirations.
Meanwhile entering the spring-summer collections, there are plenty of trends and fashion items that can actually goes to practical and stylish category at the same time.
Not to forget the Academy awards that all girls looking forward, besides the best actor and best movies, it is the red carpet moment we all want to see!!
Not just the awards, the biggest talent search of the world, American Idol season is up! It is time for us to take a look at 12 best idol-to-be.
As interesting as they sound, their performances and what they wear every week has grabbed my attention.
Speaking of stars, this March profile is one of my movie idol, Scarlett Johannson. She is an American sweetheart, a fashion spread and cover darling on the magazines.
Last but not least, new collections from designers and who are the top 5 collections for Spring-Summer 2010?
So make sure you see all of it and be informed of the latest hot issues and items for this season!
In the fresh beginning of the year, we are expecting the red carpet events such as the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards in this weekend, 82nd Oscar/Academy Awards in March 7th, Tony in June 13th, and more annual events to come.
While Actor and Actresses are waiting for the legitimate appreciation for their work, we are also waiting for how they are going to present themselves when they arrived in the red carpet.
Before i present to you who will be the red carpet star in 2010, i will give you a flashback who was the star in 2009.
In the Academy awards 2009, red carpets were dominated by the colours of white, red, terracota and blue dresses. As for men, black and some white and brown colours were still the options.
I have to say that in this prestigious event, actresses are about time to show their character and statements in their dresses.
Whether it was flowy, dramatic ruffles tails, or bold colours, it showed how they want to portray themselves for what they have created and stated for the future of their images.
Taken for example the established actor and actresses like Angelina Jolie, Penelope Cruz, Sarah Jessica Parker, Robert Downey Jr., or Mickey Rourke.
Angelina Jolie wore the bold black dress by Ellie Saab and made it fresh by green earrings by Lorraine Schwartz’s jewelry. For her character, black is the obvious and statement colour.
She did not have to be extravagant or different, because she already has her persona, talent and attractiveness naturally.
It would be intriguing if she worn colourful dresses.
Talking about colours, red carpet means you get to stand out from the rest of the people.
Though some of the actresses were still loving the red colour for red carpet.
Take a look at Amy Adams, Amanda Seyfried, Giulana Randzic, and Heidi Klum. She amazingly wore the Roland Mauret red-kinda-pink architectural dress.
Meanwhile Amy Adams opted for red with smal drapery on the top that flows all the way down by Carolina Hererra and contrasted it with Fred Leighton’s jewelry.
This is the part that i wish less red will come in the 2010 awards, because we could use some more colours.
Blend the colour with great designs mixing chiffons and laces like Frieda Pinto dress by John Galliano is always worth to wait in the red carpet moments.
Elegant look were also presented by Robert Downey Jr. with David August’s one button tuxedo that was clean cut and fitted properly.
Meanwhile Mickey Rourke showed his bold character by wearing white on white tuxedo by Jean-Paul Gaultier.
Though the they were usually have stylists for their red carpet moments, it seemed that the young and rising actresses were not exactly suit to wear the dresses for their age.
Vanessa Hudgens who were with Zac Efron wore the black mermaid long dress by Marchessa.
In her age and her status as a rising star, she should be more having fun with her appearances in the red carpet.
After all, she is a long way correcting parts of her body by wearing safe colours.
Natalie Portman on the other hand, showed us the attitude by embracing the lovely and fresh side of her in Rodarte. Edgy but still gracefully flow in the red carpet.
Even Miley Cyrus took a chance looking extravagantly naive by wearing Zuhair Murad’s mermaid/seashells inspired dress.
Old and New Labels
Mainstream designers and labels were often worn by the celebrities in the red carpet.
Play it safe or be that as the reason for making their moments relying on a classic labels.
I am hoping for designers like Rodarte, Jason Wu, Yigal Azrouel, and Proenza Schouler, could design red carpet dresses!
Meanwhile i also hope that mainstreams like J.Mendel, Reem Acra, Balmain, Armani Prive, Vera Wang, Stella McCartney will be more dressing the actresses!
So let’s be hoping for a breath of fresh air in 2010 red carpet moments!
Last year pointed out that even though you do not have to look extravagant by wearing something too over done, you still can wear something related with your character and put a nice smile and have fun with it!
After all, what is the point of having stylish moment without having fun with it?
GORGEOUS POTENTIAL GOWNS 2010
Hoping for actresses like Vanessa Hudgens, Kristen Stewart, Natalie Portman, Hayden Penettierre to take a risk and have fun in the red carpet by using the right colours as they are shining endlessly.
Meanwhile i am hoping for Penelope Cruz, Marissa Tomei, Nicole Kidman that has the va va voom body, talent, and charms to take their presentation to a fresh look.

Leave your pumps for a while, and embrace your legs with these bold and beautiful sandals!
Go for more colourful ones, or pastels!
Just for a tip, use the pastels or bold black like prada when you already put your graphic prints on, or the colourful ones like Stella Mcartney, Zanotti’s to tone it up a notch!
A little flashback, 2009 had been a roller coaster in the fashion industry.
Due to the economic crisis, designers had to redeem their passion in couture collections to improve their sales worldwide in ready to wear.
Numerous of boutiques had closed down and garment workers had been laid down.
The bright side was that the collections from mainstream designers still made the statement style that we craze about!!
Namely Burberry by Christopher Bailey, Bally by Brian Atwood, Jason Wu, Balmain, Karl Lagerfeld, Chanel, and all designers that shone in 2009.
We still heart the androgyny looks in 2010.
Now for Spring 2010 collections we are about to look at more glitz by the trends of metallics colours, and strong dresses, graphic prints that still has a touch of androgyny looks by Balenciaga, shredded and one shouldered dresses with edgy cuttings by Rodarte sisters, and colourful cocktail dresses by Jason Wu.

His quotes:
“sometimes ideas came when i woke up, or in my dreams.. you have to work on the garbage ones to make it the best idea..”
“some people say appetite is growing when you eat.. new ideas came and i get inspired when i work… for me, the one that says they wait for inspiration to come first, is just their excuse for lazyness..”
“competition is not always bad, it’s healthy and makes you be better..”
A great designer, and a great thinker and person as well..
When he was asked whether he’s constantly having new inspirations or viewing from designer’s blogs,
he said that “of course, i’m like a tv antena you know, i catch everything and do it my way”

I'm not the biggest fan of cardigans for men, coz i love to see them in jackets. But this colour is ok, makes the total look neat and characterized. hint, pick the subtle and elegantly gloomy palletes. navy blue, dark grey, pitch black and keep it simply loose a lil' bit. cred's: http://www.thesartorialist.blogspot.com April 09
