A round-up of my favorite looks this week

WHO, WHAT, WHERE: Nicole Kidman in a floral Jean Paul Gaultier Couture gown at the Grammy Awards 2011 in LA.

WHY: I can’t remember the last time I was wooed by a Nicole Kidman look, so this came as a huge surprise. It was without a doubt one of my favorite looks from that night. I think I’ve said this before, but I don’t really like a mermaid silhouette, but Nicole Kidman made it work thanks to her tall, statuesque figure. The dress in itself is very beautiful, with its floral print, ruffles and an amazing color palette of beige/olive with hints of maroon. The waves in her hair were ultra glamorous and I can make my peace with the fact that she went low key with the accessories, but I would have really liked to see some more makeup via a darker lip color. What say you?

WHO, WHAT, WHERE: Rihanna in a floral black Christian Dior Couture gown while performing at the Grammy Awards 2011 in LA.

WHY: So, I’ve got to admit I get verrrry excited when I see celebs wear my favorite haute couture dresses, and I’m kind of really in love with Rihanna right now for making two of my couture wishes come true (here’s the first!). This dress is just spectacular— a black ball gown with an incredible yellow petal print design and loads of tulle on the skirt? Now we’re talking, baby! And it looks even more dramatic on stage. Love her hair and makeup too; the shade of her hair and lips gel so well with the dress. She’s so fierce!

Who were your favorites from the Grammys?

P.S. – A special thanks (and loads of hugs & kisses!) to Meher for giving me the Stylish Blogger Award and Scribbling Gal for giving me the Excellent Blog Award. Both of you are so talented and if there’s anyone who deserves an award, it’s you two! I used to do a lot of creative writing in school and college, and I know how challenging it can be to imagine something and be able to pen it down so beautifully into words. Every time I visit your blogs, I come out feeling inspired and in awe. Keep writing ladies, I know you’re destined to go places!
