Women of Compassion Luncheon in LA

GYI0063411816

Camille Belle, Mary J Blige, Marc Anthony, Frida Giannini and Jennifer Lopez

Yesterday, many celebrities attended the first annual UNICEF Women of Compassion Luncheon held at the private residence of Colleen & Bradley Bell in Los Angeles.
Jennifer Lopez honoured Gucci’s Creative Director Frida Giannini for her support to protect children worldwide with the “Women of Compassion” award. So it was no wonder that all the ladies wore Gucci to the event.

Please enjoy the photos and below you will find the list of Hollywood’s must-haves.

Beautiful actress Camille Belle

The 24-year-old From Prada to Nada star Camille Belle looked so beautiful in Gucci. I loved her make-up. She looked so radiant.

From Runway to Gaga

Lady Gaga is on the cover of US Vogue March 2011, photographed by Mario Testino.

As the March edition is the most important for the S/S collections (the same as September is for F/W), it is no wonder that Gaga dons the must-have looks for the warm season.
So please enjoy the highlights, especially the three sensational McQueen shots. From runway to Gaga, very dramatic and definitely different.

The interview with US Vogue also helps Gaga to promote her new album „Born This Way“: The seventeen-track CD will include such songs as „Hair“, „Bad Kids“, „Americano“, „Government Hooker“, and the second single „Judas“.

Shoe Special S/S 2011: Wedges & Flatforms

Wedges & Flatforms

Chunky heels and wedges, this is what the summer 2011 is all about . Being more comfortable than high heels (especially if you live like me in a city plastered with cobblestones) and giving you a more casual and effortless look, those shoes will be surely bestsellers.

Enjoy those creations for this summer that are bold, daring and definitely different.

Flatforms

The footwear innovation for S/S 2011 is the flatform – a ballet flat elevated on a high platform heel, that gives you extra hight. Kind of reminiscent of summer espandrilles, but only higher. Designers are loving them at the moment.
And what about you? Are you a brick-like shoe lover?

The Gigi

The Gigi

Now available online at net-à-porter is J Brand’s new It-pants: The Gigi.

Cropped, flared and skinny, J brand’s hot shape takes style to a whole new level. Combine them with ankle boots or strappy sandals with a fur vest or a tank top. It is a simple way to update your wardrobe and easy to wear whatever the temperature. My favourites are the waxed ones, love this special fabric.

Gucci’s recent kids collection has got a very cute addition: Sunglasses for children. Designed by Gucci’s Creative Director Frida Giannini, those shades are the perfect accessories for the mini trendsetters. For boys and girls, from 7 years on (150 CHF each).
I am sure that the kids will love the little teddybear logo that is located inside of the frame.

Total Styling Lab: Bohemian Rhapsody

Bohemian Rhapsody

Here is my fifth and final look from the LuisaViaRoma Total Styling Lab. This time I focused on the maxi trend and gave my look some romantic touches by adding a bow belt that I tied around my waist and the cute straw hat.

Nothing epitomises chic summer dressing like a ground skimming dress paired with flat sandals.

S/S 2011: Go with the Flow

For summer many designers focused on the midi length. As mid calf is for most women a critical point (you really have to be very tall and ultra-skinny), it seems all natural that the maxi length was spotted on many runways, too. Having a bohemian,`70s inspired feel, the creations were to die for!

Flowing maxi gowns ripple and float around the body, revealing as much as they conceal. Billowing slash-front skirts show off legs from top to toe, no tights allowed. This is sex appeal to the max!

Giuseppe Zanotti S/S 2011

GZ and me

Giuseppe Zanotti with me

Giuseppe Zanotti’s S/S 2011 ad campaign makes me dream of sunny weather, the beach and the ocean. No wonder as a vacation getaway in St. Barts served as inspiration for it. Sensual and sizzling fashion model, Anja Rubik is the face of the gorgeous campaign that was photographed by iconic duo Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.

Ladies, better start getting in shape now…
