BAFTAS Best Dressed

This is the busiest time for awards season and this past Sunday was no exception. The BAFTA’s (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) hosted some of the most popular and best dressed actresses right now including Jennifer Lawrence, Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathaway and Marion Cotillard.

 

 

Jennifer Lawrence looked gorgeous in a Dior Haute Couture gown which she kept simple with silver earrings and a ring from Chopard. This eye catching dress was paired with Jimmy Choo shoes and a Judith Leiber bag. The pale pink gown definitely screamed success and gave her a flawless figure which demonstrated as my favorite look of the night.

 

 

There is nothing depressing about this Les Miserables star Anne Hathaway, who carried through the red carpet wearing a lovely, sleek, sophisticated Burberry gown. She definitely pulled this off with her pixie cut giving her a fun, cute, quirkiness about her.

 

This Zero Dark Thirty star Jessica Chastain was looking fresh and vibrant in a beautiful blue ensemble.  This asymmetrical gown gave her a form fitting figure which showcased her best features. She was wearing Roland Mouret, complemented with sapphire and diamond Harry Winston jewels. And the most popular shoe of the night continued to be Jimmy Choo. She finished off her look with glamorous waves and bright red lips.

 

My favorite French actress Marion Cotillard was seen in a bright yellow Dior Haute Couture gown. This was paired with Jimmy Choo shoes with a ring and striking necklace from another popular choice of Chopard. She gave off a modern glamorous look to definitely leave an impression.

There's No Stopping Her...Rachel Zoe Reveals New Fashion Line

On days when I am feeling overwhelmed with my hectic and somewhat crazy schedule, I think to myself "WWZD?" In other words, What Would Zoe Do?

As one of the most famous American celebrity stylists, star of the reality show The Rachel Zoe Project, author of Style: A to Zoe, and so much more, Rachel Zoe is one busy woman. Even at 7 months pregnant, Zoe manages to put most of us to shame with her heavy workload. To add insult to injury, she looks fabulous while doing it.

Not one to be slowed down by pregnancy, the superstar stylist has been busy working on her first line, The Rachel Zoe Collection. According to WWD, the collection is "pure Zoe-tailored: dramatic with a 70s flare." However Zoe says "I'd imagine everybody is expecting something from me that's kind of a 70s, uberboho-glam kind of thing and very accessorized. And it's not." So what can we expect then?

The collection reportedly includes a lot of suiting, a le smoking-esque tuxedo jumpsuit, capes for outerwear, and four inch high stilettos with massive platforms. Unlike her affordable collection for QVC, prices for The Rachel Zoe Collection will range from $250 for a day dress to $700 for a full tuxedo look.

The collection will hit stores in the fall, although no retailers have been secured as of yet. What can we expect in the meantime from this busy mother-to-be? Plenty it seems, despite being told to slow down by doctors. Her Bravo series will capture the development of the collection from start to finish and she will be seen by Anne Hathaway's side at the Oscars to help with outfit changes, eight months pregnant and in four inch heels undoubtedly.

Talk about an inspiration to get moving...or a way to make me feel bad about my apparent laziness! Check out her upcoming collection below
