Sophie Theallet has a way with women. "She has the ability to make women look very sexy. Her designs don't show anything, but make you dream of everything," boasted key makeup artist Tom Pecheux. See the makeup and hair that's inspired by the elegant (but naughty) woman her fashion evokes.
The look: Smudged eyeliner, sleek faux bobs, and bare nails.
The inspiration: Twiggy, colour, and a beautiful glow.
Who would wear it: The woman who wears a garter belt underneath her ball gown.
To round up the week in fashion, red carpet glamazons Hilary Rhoda and Karolina Kurkova added extra wow factor in gorgeous floor-length gowns. We're starting to see the Spring 2011 collections out in full force with Emma Stone in Preen and Olivia Palermo ethereal in Marchesa. Camilla Belle and Emma Roberts proved again, in Alberta Ferretti and Burberry Prorsum respectively, that they're ones to watch in the fashion stakes. Check out our gallery of fab faves to make the top ten this week!
The recently married Reese Witherspoon shows a sexier side on the May cover of US Vogue, wearing a black and white Roland Mouret dress. It's a welcome surprise from a woman who chose blush pink for her wedding gown. With her upcoming movie Water for Elephants set to release soon, Vogue chose an appropriate setting for her shoot with photographer Peter Lindbergh — a circus tent complete with elephant — all the better to showcase a smouldering lineup of frocks that include Dior, Sophie Theallet, Dolce & Gabbana and Narciso Rodriguez. Step inside to see them all, including the custom Alexander Wang dress that didn't run on the cover.
Unlike many guests tonight, Vera Farmiga brought colour to the carpet. Her blue Sophie Theallet frock says super romantic, and matches her baby blues beautifully. The black ribbon detail adds definition, while statement Van Cleef & Arpels earrings and ring provide sparkle. Rate it or hate it?
