Spotted!: Kirstin Dunst at the premiere of “Melancholia” during the AFI FEST 2011 on Sunday night, November 6, 2011 in Hollywood, California, wearing this glorious puffed sleeved, full skirted Dolce&Gabbana spring 2012. Both the Vibrant Tomato print and the skirt length, or ‘the new spring length’ are spot on trend, and super chic.

Move over polk a dots — there’s a new print in town.  And it’s out of this world.   Yes, I am obsessed with the new Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2011 collection star printed pants.  Spotted on actress Evan Rachel Wood  in New York this summer with a star shirt to match — I mean figuratively ofcourse.  She paired these sexy star pants with a Dolce & Gabbana grey T-shirt with late actor Dennis Hopper’s face.  Her fuschia lipstick gave this outfit the pop of color it needed — and brought attention to her stunning face.

The Dolce & Gabbana signature star print can be found on long and short dresses.

And I’m not the only one obsessed with this space trend…

 

And I’m even MORE obsessed with adding stars to the classic little black dress to make you really shine in any setting…

This print is fun, flirty and just plain fabulous.

If you are lucky enough to own this Dolce & Gabbana print, take a picture, we would love to see how fabulous YOU look!  Post your pictures here.

 

 

 

 

The simple formula of effortless chic has travelled with us throughout the past years and nothing said it stronger than the menswear collections freshly presenting their offerings around the globe. A dizzying array of colours, shapes and textiles rocked fashion world however a few strong themes emerged.

Every season designers attempt for the holy grail of menswear: “The New Suit”. This consists each season of designers picking and pulling at a traditional suit until the desired shape of the season comes to be. The tailored vibe that has struck such a strong chord has definitely continued on into the summer months, thankfully however the fashion gods were merciful and this season’s reincarnations of suits are anything but buttoned up.

These new relaxed, easy styles evoke that “just threw on yet impeccably put together” look. Softer fabrics being shown structurally condense menswear, and giving way to a wider silhouette on the bottom from anywhere in the range of carrot trousers to full length skirts and robes.

Freedom rings with mix and match separates ranging from the most casual of sports coats to even in the most formal of tuxedos dominating the runways. There is also a play upon adding and subtracting classic menswear elements, such as ditching ties or jackets but keeping the rest of the look.

Full tonal pairings as well from matching shorts and t-shirts in exact textiles, to four piece suits in cohesive separate fabrics yet all from the same color palette.

Style Seen Daily  attended the “Montblanc Signature For Good Gala Benefitting UNICEF” held at the Los Angeles Paramount Lot.

It almost felt like the Oscars itself, as a slew of A listers dressed to impress came out to support this major charity initiative for worldwide literacy.   We talked one on one with all the stars present, and have an exclusive photo of Reese Witherspoon (who donated $50,000 to the charity!).

Style Seen Daily gives you an exclusive look inside the Montblanc & UNICEF charity event with host Reese Witherspoon.

The ‘Montblanc Signature for Good’ activity is one of Montblanc’s major charity initiatives. Their kick-off event unveiled 12 portraits of Internationally known actresses Emily Blunt, Marcia Cross, Andie MacDowell, Helen Hunt, Lauren Hutton, Milla Jovovich, Jessica Lange, Eva Longoria, Sienna Miller, Christina Ricci, Susan Sarandon, and Mira Sorvino.  These portraits are currently up for auction to raise money for UNICEF‘s effort to combat illiteracy.  Every single actress came out to the event to show their support.

Andie MacDowell told us directly her thoughts on the portraits:  ”It’s a really glamorous way to bring attention to a very important need about education for countries all over the world.  I have been very blessed, I have a great life, I have wonderful opportunities and I don’t take it for granted.  I like doing charity work and I think eventually I will end up just doing that.”

MacDowell was not shy about revealing her true thoughts on why she thinks her photo turned out so great, “Well I’m 50 years old and it’s kind of a stupid thing to say but the lighting was really really good.  Great hair and make up, they made me look so beautiful!”

Sienna Miller also enjoyed participating in the project and said to us: “It was not like a normal photo shoot because it was not just posing. They gave us characters from novels.  I was Natasha from Warner and I loved it because I had a role to get into which is easy because I’m an actress and it made it easier for me.  I’m not very good at just standing there and posing. It was fun we had such a good time.”

And Eva Longoria shared to us: “When they asked me to do it I thought why not?! It’s only 2 hours out of my day to do a photo shoot and it will help millions of kid all over the world.”

12ladies

The 12 portraits unveiled at the Montblanc & UNICEF event.

Guests arrived dressed in old Hollywood glamour, and we watched as the lovely Dita von Teese took the carpet wearing a silk chiffon Christian Lacroix gown, from the 2008 collection, the long draped skintone dress had a copper bow, pink ombre train, matching clutch and Dita had a Montblanc bow necklace.

Inside the event, Montblanc, SIGNATURE INTERNATIONAL and UNICEF unveiled the images shot by American photographer Roger Moenks where each actress portrayed a heroine from one of literature’s timeless classics, including Scarlett O’Hara from Margaret Mitchell’s “Gone with the Wind”, Juliet from Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet”, Marguerite Gauthier and from “La Dame aux Camélias” by Alexandre Dumas.

Each actress signed the Limited Edition photo on arrival of the event, and the CEO of Montblanc International, Lutz Bethge, revealed all images in a dramatic drop of a curtain. Lutz stressed the importance of the initiative stating, “Support of the underprivileged cannot stop when times are tough. We are very proud to benefit from the support of these 12 extraordinary ladies to take our work with UNICEF one step further and enhance our joint commitment to support education programmes.”

Unveiling of the portraits

After the ladies were introduced and their stunning portraits revealed, Michael York invited the 250 guests to a sit down dinner where Reese Witherspoon presented UNICEF with a huge $50,000 check that she personally donated.

The 12 pictures were auctioned off on International Literacy Day — September 9th.


Recipients of the portraits will get the personally signed picture of the individual actress and a precious version of the Montblanc Meisterstück, the legendary and timeless writing instrument that is celebrating its 85th anniversary this year, a rare limited edition of only 12 pieces worldwide, dedicated to UNICEF.

UNICEF and Montblanc have shared an important common goal over the years – working together to fight illiteracy around the world by giving the “power to write” to underprivileged individuals. In previous years the Power To Write campaign has raised over 1 Million USD in Montblanc boutiques across the world towards education programmes initiated by UNICEF.

Sandra Bullock with Scarlett Johansoon on stage at 2010 MTV Movie Awards.

Sandra Bullock shined as she accepted the Generation Award at MTV Movie Awards 2010 in Los Angeles, California.   The Oscar winner is the first woman to receive the honor.  Congrats Sandra!

Looking stunning in a short black Oday Chakar dress, Bullock locked lips with Scarlett Johansson on stage and made jokes about her soon to be ex-husband.

Bullock’s Oday Chakar dress with a plunging back encouraged Betty White to tell her, “don’t ever wear that dress backwards!”

The night was filled with good laughs and hot styles.

Sequins, minis, neon colors and glitter filled the red carpet. Stars like Whitney Port, Anna Kendrick, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Biel, and Miranda Cosgrove stepped out in true fashion forward style, perfect for this nontraditional award show, in bright colors and eye-catching heels. And the guys weren’t too shabby either, Russell Brand, Zac Efron and Peter Facinelli came wearing trendy vests, stylish jeans and hip shoes.

Have a look at some of our favorite outfits and not so favorite from the eventful night.

The 17-year old actress Victoria Justice was pretty in pink. She lit up the red carpet with a BCBG Maz Azria one-shoulder patterned dress with a pair of nude heels. This starlet may be young, but this fashionista caught our eye.

Lucy Hale from the upcoming new ABC Family Show, “Pretty Little Liars” wore a sparkly navy cocktail dress with beige accents designed by Touy. With her hair pulled to one side, we got a look at her edgy spiked necklace. She wore the form fitting dress with a pair of trendy black heels.

Country singer and Dancing With The Stars alum Julianne Hough came wearing a chic black peekaboo mini with sharp shoulders. A simple yet stunning look by Camilla + Marc Caraletta Frock looked amazing on Julianne. The mini is a great look for any summer time evening out, dress it up like Julianne with a pair of black pumps.

Kristin Stewart may have taken home the award for Best Female Performance and Best Kiss, but her outfit was not one of our favorites. The gold and metallic Dolce & Gabbana mini was a great length for this Twilight star. Although we found the straight across top was not so flattering. We did approve her her messy pulled pack ponytail, showing off her striking face. Simply by pulling your hair back like Kristin can show off any bold outfit.

The Hills star Audrina Patridge was very dazzled up for the awards. Wearing a metallic backless mini she was definitely able to be seen that night. She even wore studded silver and black heels to add to her bling-out outfit. We thought the outfit was a little too much for this reality star.

The Queen of Pop has always reinvented herself, making designers like Jean Paul Gautier, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana quickly grow to worship not only her talent, but her ability to make their clothing world famous. Since the late 80′s, Madonna’s fashion style, along with her music talent and controversial ways, has been a popular subject in media. For nearly two decades she has set trends and on October 18th, Dolce & Gabana along with the Cinema Society and Madonna herself hosted the premiere of her directorial debut, Filth and Wisdom, at Landmark’s Sunshine Cinema in New York City.

Following the premiere, Madonna and her guests headed over to Jason Pomeranc’s newest hotel, the Thompson LES (lower east side), where Madonna christened the hotel and restaurant SHANG with its very first event.

Madonna’s choice to launch her film in the East Village was simply because, as she honestly put it, “it is where my struggle began.”

Her gritty film had guests talking. “It’s an honest reality about human beings,” one guest said.

Madonna, who was wearing a black Dolce & Gabana blouse with a see thru skirt, told reporters: “There is a little bit of me in every character.”

Actress Vicky Mclure’s character helps children in Africa. Eugene Hutz’s character is as aspiring pop star who pays the bills by performing S&M acts. Actress Holly Weston plays a graceful ballet dancer who transforms into a stripper. Weston chimed into editors at the party that Madonna “knew exactly what she wanted andwas actually on set before all of us daily.”

The pop star spent most of the evening with her friend/partner Guy Oseary and uber agent, Jason Weinberg, who made for gracious dates.

Guests at Madanna's party.

Guests at the party included a range of star talent and fashion icons like Brooke Shields, Naomi Watts, Ed Westwick, Diane Kruger, Josh Jackson, Lindsay Lohan, Marc Jacobs, David Blaine, Jeremy Piven, Jessica Alba, and Malin Akerman — all dressed of course in Dolce.

Akerman dotted over Madonna and declared “after her Blond Ambition Tour, I wanted to be just like her.”  Jean-Paul Gaultier designed the costumes for that tour, including the now-infamous cone brassiere.

The Recording Industry Association of America ranks Madonna as the best-selling female rock artist of the twentieth century.  Guinness World Records list her as the world’s most successful female recording artist of all time and the top-earning female singer in the world with an estimated net worth of $490 million, having sold more than 200 million records worldwide. On March 10, 2008, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
