Top of the Frocks

There are those who deal well with a public split (by using the opportunity to embrace the offers of beautiful new clothes from the hottest designers and to flaunt to the ex just what they're missing.) And then there are those who really, really don't- Britney and Cameron anyone? Must be the Justin effect!... But Reese is definetly the first type, she scrubs up very well indeed in this buttercup Nina Ricci creation and plenty of bling.

Although many people seem to have disaproved of Sienna going back to her boho roots after wearing this heidi-style do, (including Perez Hilton who seems to have self elected himself as a fashion know-all), I like the fact she did something a little different and think she looks beautiful. Shes got a very healthy and radient glow and looks happier than she has done in a long time. Its amazing what a bit of Marchesa can do for Ms Miller!

There was lots of debate about this Chanel dress, and it appeared on a mixture of best dressed and worst dressed lists. But my take on it, is that it is a classic examplke of a daring dress that has been pulled off well! A quick peep on Babel star Rinko Kikuchi's imdb profile showed me that we have a style icon in the making. A follow up to boyish tux's and daringly short minidresses? I may never have heard of her before, but Rinko certinaly gets the thumbs up from me! Watch out for a style icon post on her coming soon!

How cool do the Nicolsons look!? I love Lorraine's hair and although its not my taste, this grey Dior dress really compliments her porcelain skin. As for Jack, you just want to shout "He's the maaan!" He looks like the ultimate dad-a mixture of embarrasing (the sunglasses), but also someone to be very proud of (who wouldn't be proud to see your dad wear that bow tie?). The family affair couple works everytime! Lenny and Zoe K anyone?

This Gyllenhaal rarely gets it wrong and since the birth of baby Romana, shes been One. Hot. Mama. Glowing in YSL, shes completely at ease on the red carpet while working the volume trend a treat. It makes a change to see her in something quite classic, but her quirky style remains intact.

The Big Love girls look great! It was immedietly Chloe who caught my eye, as I'm always keen to see what shes wearing, but I think Ginnifer looks fantastic. Her smoky eyes are very sexy, and although I think her Dolce and Gabbana could hang a little better, it dress really suits her. Tripplehorn pulls off the "aging star" look well. As for Chloe, she went down the vintage route in YSL, not sure about the spice girl style strappy platforms though..

Trust the new "matching tress" twins to show up to a glitzy event like the Golden Globes pre-party in style! On first glance I thought this was a Marchesa dress, but for that night Ashley was supporting the big guns and wearing Giambattista Valli, while MK was probably warign "vintage, dahhling!" And a couple of swipes of scarlett lippy, a cocktail ring and fur (which better be fake!) and you have the typical Olsen cocktail, I'll never tire of their wardrobes!

Post Script

So I'm bored of the whole Review of 2006 thing.
I feel I've reflected enough on last year and would rather look ahead to 2007.
Especially after coming across some fantastic editorials and ideas in this month's Vogue and Elle and last month's Nylon. AND especially after a very satifying in depth study of the Vogue Collections book.

Its so exciting! Anyone read it?

Having said this, I have a couple of posts that I compiled a while ago about Kate Moss and Cory Kennedy, so these should be reaching you in the not too distant future, too!

Hope everyone is well.

"Show Me What You Got Lil Mama!"

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

In November, you may remember, I put up a post (
http://discothequeconfusion.blogspot.com/2006_11_17_discothequeconfusion_archive.html) sharing my disgust at the fact that Zoebot and Party Queen La Lohan had been selected for Miu Miu's Spring 07 campaigns.

I was, and still am surprised that the fashion house opted for someone, who in my opinion really doesn't represent the brand's identity, unlike previous models such as Camilla Belle, Chloe Sevigny and Maggie Gyllenhaal who are all recognised for their quirky styles.

However, I'm willing to (kind of) go back on what I said because one of the first pitures has finally been released (or leaked..) from the campaigns, and I must say I rather like it!

Lindsay has the air of a ventriloquist's doll and the rich tones in the picture are reminisent of the decadent colours used in Miu Miu's winter collection. Her classical glamour look makes a nice change from the unflattering pap shots we're used to seeing of "sober" lohan stumbling out of nigtclubs.

Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott have done is again!

Review: Class of 06 [chloe]

Part Three: Best dressed bitches

CHLOE SEVIGNY

As far as best dressed bitches do, in my opinion, they don't get much better than Ms S! The quirky star shot to fame in ultimate indie film Kids and has continued to be acknowledged by the fashion world for her unique taste and daring ways. (Shorts and long socks, yes please!)

I've selected some of my favourite outfits shes worn this year. My favourite is the second picture, she looks so great in her plimsols, short shorts and girly blouse. Sex. On. Legs.

Of course don't forget the spectacular bright yellow YSL dress she wore 2 years ago... You know which one I mean!

Review: Class of 06

Part Four: Best Dressed Bitches

"What else is in the teaches of peaches?
Like sex on the beaches. huh? what?"-Fuck the Pain Away, Peaches

PEACHES GELDOF

Note: Eight Days! Damn, thats been the longest time without a post in so long...

Obviously widely recognised as the not so irish, opiniated daughter of the equally opinionated Irishman Bob Geldof. But Peaches is now a name in her own right as a cool scene kid occaisionally spotted on Trevor MacDonald or Channel 4 Documentaries.

I used to love reading Ms Geldof's articles in the late and great UK ELLEgirl, but now I love spotting some of the great outfit choices she makes (or rather flings together) when attending various events.

Known for throwing together £2.99 necklaces from H and M with some rather more expensive fancies, Peaches is a little indie kid with a big individuality! Graffiti-ing a white tee with the name of your boyfriend? If thats not individual, I don't know what is!
