Best Look of the Week

It's Friday again and while normally I would do a round up of my top 5 looks, this week everyone else was blown out of the water so really there is no need for a countdown. There is only one look this week that was so incredible so as to garner mention and when looking at this photo, need I say more? 

Angelina Jolie attended the Los Angeles premiere of boyfriend Brad Pitt's film Inglorious Basterds this week in a Michael Kors leather strapless dress (who knew Michael Kors to be so amazingly edgy?) and Christian Dior gladiator heels. My jaw drops in awe of this woman (I know I don't need to remind anyone that this is a mother of 6). Her loose hair and lack of jewelry only focus more attention on those killer heels and her annoyingly flawless figure! The only thing I can say is..... if only!

Best Looks of the Week

Another summer week, another seven days of amazing fashion! Whether rocking the red carpet or just exercising their credit cards during an afternoon of shopping, these actresses gave the paparazzi something worth photographing this week! Here are my favourite looks of the week:

5. This spot is actually a tie because I just couldn't hammer it down to 5, I had to show 6! Shown at top is High School Musical actress (and gf of my inappropriate crush Zac Efron) Vanessa Hudgens in perfect summer white. I adore shirt dresses but they often come off as dowdy. This is anything but~ the full sleeves are pretty, the belt adds visual interest and the uber short hemline makes it undeniably sexy! Her nude platform sandals and her hair piled on top of her head make the whole ensemble absolutely perfect. 

Above is Heroes actress Ali Larter shopping in Beverly Hills. Ugh~ could there be a more adorable little summer dress? The coral is lovely for her skin tone and I love the flouncy layers! Her flat sandals keep the look casual and a great bag and sunglasses are always the best accessories. Hers are perfect. Doesn't it look like Ali is glowing? I think so too. Perhaps that's because she got married the day after this photo was taken. Congratulations to the beautiful bride! 

4. Now, I never ever thought I would feature Ashley Simpson in this column, but lo and behold, I was wrong! The star of the upcoming remake of Melrose Place attended a Hollywood party this week looking (shockingly) sophisticated and pulled together! Though her look is decidedly casual it is incredibly chic. Her skinny jeans and shrunken blazer are adorable but those two-tone shoes are amazing and her envelope clutch is an elegant choice. Plus, her hair pulled back into a low side knot is lovely. I'm impressed, Mrs. Wentz! Keep it up! 

3. Someone who always looks gorgeous, on the other hand, is Watchmen actress Malin Ackerman and here is no exception. The Swede beauty attended a rooftop Hollywood soiree this week in an Alice and Olivia burgundy mini-dress, paired with nude strappy sandals and a simple clutch. A lone cocktail ring and her hair swept back makes this look utterly spare but when you look this good who needs any more detail? Didn't you hear? Less is more. This is walking proof! 

2. My Diane Kruger girl crush continued this week as the actress hit up yet another premiere- this one in Sydney- for her film Inglorious Basterds. Her stunning Marchesa cocktail dress is all about the sculptural details~ the fabulous one shoulder, the angular peplum at the hip. Amazing! Her navy pumps, smoky eyes and loose, side swept hair could literally not be more beautiful. This former model just can't seem to make a wrong move! ps- Her latest "move" will actually be here in Vancouver, where she is going to be living while her boyfriend, actor Joshua Jackson, films his TV show Fringe. 

1. The top spot, however, was shamelessly stolen by Sienna Miller, who looked perfectly Old Hollywood at the Los Angeles premiere of her upcoming movie G.I Joe: Rise of the Cobra. The glamourous Brit looked impossibly elegant in a lizard print YSL gown, Veronica Lake inspired curls and with bold red lips. She has worn a lot of fantastic outfits this week while promoting her new film but this look astounded me in its vintage appeal and sophistication. She is definitely my number 1 pick of the week!

Who Looked Hot This Week

My absolute favourite thing to do when I wake up every Friday morning (yes, even before blogging and Facebook) is to hop over to People.com and see "Who Looked Hot This Week" (click here to see the most recent clip). This fun and quick video fashion segment is a must for any girl who loves her some clothes, shoes, bags and jewels, not to mention hair and make-up, as it counts down the 5 most amazing looks of the week on all our favourite starlets. It even has a nasty spin at the end by noting someone who was not so hot~ a little guilty pleasure!!! "Who Looked Hot" is a fantastic way to keep up on the very best trends and it even has an "Editor's Box" with advice on where to pick up less expensive versions of what the current beauty herself is wearing! Genius.

I love perusing what my favourite actresses are strutting their stuff in on a weekly basis, whether working the red carpet premiere circuit or hitting the grocery store. 

So here is the first of my very own Top 5 of the week:

Number 5: Amy Adams visited David Letterman this week to promote her new film Julie & Julia and the adorable actress proved redheads can certainly pull off wearing red in her sexy, little cowl-necked number, but it's her Ferragamo lace heels that are the true show-stoppers! Forget being green with envy~ I'm seeing red! 

Number 4: Claire Danes hit the red carpet this week for the premiere of the film Adam in a white, sweeping Zac Posen column. White looks so right in the summer heat and I especially love the leafy detail at the waistband. With a wedding on the horizon perhaps Claire is getting comfortable in white gowns!

Number 3: One of my favourite Canadians, Rachel McAdams hit up the Comic Con conference in San Diego this week to promote her upcoming film, Sherlock Holmes. Not exactly the venue to break out an evening dress at, Rachel instead looks perfectly fresh and casual in a bejewelled tunic, skinny jeans and drop dead gorgeous strappy patent pumps. I tend not to love black in the middle of summer but this is black that is anything but basic. Her sweet curls and minimal make-up are also perfection. I just want to hug her! Adorable! 

Number 2: Anyone who knows me knows how I loooooove Gwyneth Paltrow, but hero worship aside, the girl can dress! Lately the beautiful Mrs. Martin has been experimenting with an edgier style and this Preen minidress and sexy booties are no exception. The space-agey silver and black mini has just the right amount of hipness without being nutty and her gleaming skin and beachy curls lend a more laidback vibe. Love love love it! 

Number 1: My absolute favourite look this week was definitely Diane Kruger at the premier of her new film, Inglorious Basterds, co-starring that ugly guy Brad Pitt and directed by Quentin Tarantino. As soon as I saw this dress I knew I had to post on it because I was immediately obsessed with it! Hello! It's beige! Beige! How does this woman make beige look so darn good? Well, it's Herve Leger for a start, so that doesn't hurt. Next, the strong shoulder line and flouncy hem are utterly charming. Also, the barely there sandals and her pulled back hair are heavenly. Best of all perhaps is her absolutely flawless red lipstick~ incomparably the prettiest shade I've ever seen!
