Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Balmain at the 2014 Met Gala
I have been in the mood to keep my looks very simple lately (no bling bling this holiday season, please!) and a pair of hoop earrings seem to be the only piece of jewelry I am gravitating towards. I’m currently out of Delhi and am spending the rest of the holidays in a warm, sunny place, but I [Read more…]
A few of my picks from the Haute Couture Fall 2012 runway that I hope to see on the red carpet.

1 & 2: These dresses are undoubtedly my favorite from all the shows. And of course they had to be from Elie Saab! If the fashion Gods (yes, they read my blog!) are to grant me one wish from this list, I hope they pick between these two. The lace with the sequins and beading is absolutely breathtaking!
Elie Saab Fall 2012 Couture & Christian Dior Fall 2012 Couture
3: The peachy color of this dress is so refreshing, and the gold work ensures that the gown won’t look dull on the red carpet. I think someone like Mila Kunis, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, or the Duchess of Cambridge would look lovely in this.
4: I like how the front of this dress is grey and the back is red. It’s fun!
Christian Dior Fall 2012 Couture
5: This fuchsia dress would be such a pretty shade on Natalie Portman, and the style is so her as well!
6: I would like to see this mid-length dress on someone tall like Katie Holmes or someone with short hair like Anne Hathaway, or Michelle Williams. Rachel Bilson and Rachel McAdams would look ultra chic in it too.
Giambattista Valli Fall 2012 Couture
7: Very Emma Stone, no?
8: I love the subtle purple accents against the green on this dress, but the print could look a little overwhelming. I hope to see this at least in an editorial, if not on the red carpet.
Zuhair Murad Fall 2012 Couture
9 & 10: These would look really pretty on Olivia Palermo, Freida Pinto, Zoe Saldana, or Zooey Deschanel. Also, I would like to see Keira Knightley attempt this style again; her shoes were a little bit of a letdown the last time around.

11: Can you think of celebs who can pull this off with class? Diane Kruger, Beyonce, and Rihanna come to mind!
12: I want to see this on Aishwarya Rai. The color and silhouette would look great on her, although I’m not sure that she would go for such a low neckline. Eva Longoria would look nice in it too.
So that’s about it! I noticed that I’ve finally warmed up to long sleeves, because I usually tilt towards sleeveless or strapless when it comes to dresses.
Anyway, which one of these do you think is most likely to be worn on the red carpet? Write back with thoughts!

WHO, WHAT, WHERE: Blake Lively in a sheer grey Marchesa gown at the BAFTA “Brits To Watch” event in LA & Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in a white lace Dolce & Gabbana dress while promoting Transformers: Dark of the Moon in Shanghai.
WHY: It’s the brink of summer and nothing says HOT quite like summer neutrals, crisp cottons and breezy chiffon fabrics. I decided to club Blake and Rosie together because they both donned neutrals from head to toe and went for a similar laid-back approach to hair and makeup. Blake Lively looked like a Grecian goddess and for once I even like her hair (catch a close-up here!), which is mostly where I tend to disagree with her. I would have gone for a darker lip color (something like Rosie’s), but that’s again just my tendency to add a little bit of color to everything!
As for Rosie, I think I’ve obsessed with the Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2011 collection enough times for you to know why this would be a favorite! The sheer lace panel on the dress is simply gorgeous, and I love how she didn’t overthink the outfit and went for simple pointed toe pumps. I always feel that pointed toe styles look the chicest paired with mid-length skirts and dresses. Adore her side swept hair too. She’s such a stunner and completely flawless!
Have a preference among the two?
Kisses,
SK
