Look of the Day: Kate Hudson in Atelier Versace

Kate Hudson attends the opening ceremony of the 2012 Venice Film Festival

 

Golden Goddess Alert!! Kate Hudson was positively glowing while attending the premiere of her movie The Reluctant Fundamentalist during the opening ceremony for the Venice Film Festival. Glittering in a gilded gold gown designed by Atelier Versace, the actress knocked it way out of the park. The unique neckline is super modern while the sheer peek-a-boo panels add a playful touch. I love that she chose something so incredibly elegant while staying true to her edgy style. Complete showstopper.

 

Kate continued her love affair with metallic tones by accessorizing with a gold Edie Parker clutch and champagne Versace heels. Pure perfection. Plus, her makeup is straight up flawless and the back of the dress... well I'll just let that speak for itself.

 

OMGezies!!!!! Ridiculously amazing

 

Classic {and gorgeous} Kate

Red Carpet Fashion: Oscar 2012 After Parties

As great as the Red Carpet looks are, let's not count out the amazing fashions from all the star-studded After Parties! And since I didn't list any honorable mentions from the arrivals as I usually do, I figured I would show case a few party looks instead! I won't go into as much detail as the awards season picks but here are some fabulous ladies rocking gorgeous gowns & dresses

Whenever we head to Palm Springs we usually spend the weekend lounging by the pool, biking around town, eating delicious food and laughing constantly with Steve & Dana (our gracious hosts). It's so fabulous. And the music... Oh the music! It's constantly flowing all day (and night) long. I seriously love it. One of the songs that kept popping up was the Kate Hudson version of "Cinema Italiano" from the theatrical movie Nine. We actually just recently watched the movie and while it was a little hit or miss my absolute favorite part was actually Kate Hudson's sex kitten character Stephanie.

The chain smoking, blond haired, fashion journalist (of course!) with kohl rimmed eyes Stephanie, embodied everything that I love from this era. Her description of why American women love Italy still stands true (maybe I'm partial - but I doubt it...) And it was pretty amazing how much Goldie she was channeling for this role. Ah-mazing. But what really had me was her musical number. It was definitely, by far, the best one from the movie. The men in the suits, the black & white, the dancing. It's seriously phenomenal. For the past week I haven't been able to stop thinking about fringe, cat eye sunglasses and thigh high boots. I love being inspired by different periods of time or movies or even old magazine photographs. Anything from the past can really be worked into your everyday wardrobe - you just have to find a way to tweak it to work for you. For instance to modernize this look I would
