Style Showdown: Kim Kardashian vs. Kate Beckinsale

Posted by babu 1:07pm GMT

About six months after Kate Beckinsale debuted a silk and lace Nina Ricci bandage creation at the Cannes Film Festival, Kim Kardashian decided to give the gown a go at the 2011 InStyle/Warner Brothers Golden Globes Party.

While both leading ladies gave the gown the glamorous treatment with dangling earrings, Kim's hairstyle and red lip made for a sexier ambiance, while Kate's soft waves and tawny palette lended to a more subtle, natural look. This one's a toss-up for me.

Cannes Film Festival (Weekend Highlights)

Posted by babu 10:57am GMT

Celebs continued to pull out all the stops during the Cannes Film Festival this past weekend. Some of my favorite looks included those of Diane Kruger, who rocked a hot pink and black Jason Wu gown, Salma Hayek, who looked regal in Gucci Première, and Kate Beckinsale, in a multi-tiered Nina Ricci number.

Less impressive was Kirsten Dunst, who wore a baby blue Chanel gown tucked sloppily under her chest.

This Week's Fab Five

Posted by babu 2:00pm GMT

This week was all about roses and reds. And the winners are...

Jennifer Lopez glowing in Roberto Cavalli Couture at amfAR’s Cinema Against AIDS Gala. This beautiful, corseted creation concluded with countless rows of ruffles for a really dramatic effect.

Emily Blunt rocking a bright red Georges Chakra Edition gown at amfAR’s Cinema Against AIDS Gala. The actress spiced things up even further with a matching red lip.

Kate Beckinsale working a pink Temperley London gown at the Chopard 150th Anniversary Party during the Cannes Film Festival. The actress looked like a grecian goddess in this gown, which featured beautiful beading along the neckline.

Salma Hayek ravishing in a red Gucci Premi�re gown at the Cannes Film Festival. A thigh-high slit along the side and allover shimmer add extra flair to this playful red-carpet pick.

Elizabeth Banks in a rose-colored Atelier Versace gown at amfAR’s Cinema Against AIDS Gala. The actress kept her jewelry to a minimum and let her gown's exquisite beading do most of the talking.

This Week's Fab Five

Posted by babu 3:41pm GMT

This week was all about the Cannes Film Festival. And the winners are...

Kate Beckinsale shimmering from head to toe in a Gucci Premi�re gown at the "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" premiere. I love the contrast of the silver against the cream on this gown, as well as the large bow across the bodice. Just stunning!

Aishwarya Rai gleaming in a sequined Armani Prive gown at the "Tournee" screening. The model topped off her classic look with a red lip and silver pumps.

Eva Longoria rocking a white Emilio Pucci gown at the "Robin Hood" premiere. I love the crisscross draping along the bodice of this multi-tiered masterpiece.

Camilla Belle dazzling in a navy Gucci Premi�re gown at the "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" premiere. Metallic, sprinkle-like detailing along the shoulder and hip of this gown take it from meek to chic.

Salma Hayek wearing a maroon Gucci Couture gown at the "Robin Hood" premiere. Rubies add an extra touch of glam to this otherwise simple sensation.

63rd Annual Cannes International Film Festival - Opening Night

Posted by babu 11:38am GMT

Let the trains begin...

As usual, high drama was the name of the game when it came to opening night at the 63rd Annual Cannes International Film Festival.

My favorite looks included those of Kate Beckinsale, who looked absolutely gorgeous in a Marchesa gown with tulle criss-cross detailing that reminded me of that worn by Penelope Cruz at last year's Cannes Festival, and Eva Longoria, who rocked a ruffled Emilio Pucci (also with drapery along the bodice).

They shared the spotlight with Salma Hayek (in a ruby-red Gucci Couture gown) and Cate Blanchett (in Alexander McQueen).

Style Showdown: Kate vs. Demi

Posted by babu 11:35am GMT

Kate Beckinsale was recently spotted rocking a Zac Posen LBD at the Cond� Nast Traveler "Hot List" party in Las Vegas, while Demi Moore wore the same dress (also with a black clutch) to the Rodeo Drive Walk of Style last year.

Not only does the slinky sensation appear to be a better fit on Kate's tan bod, she takes the cake on this one for her shoes alone.

I'm Obsessed With: Kate Beckinsale's Christian Louboutin Luly Sandals

Posted by babu 2:26pm GMT

Glamorous enough for the red carpet, yet edgy enough for the city, these Christian Louboutin Luly Sandals are my new obsession for spring.

Kate Beckinsale paired hers with a Zac Posen LBD at the Conde Nast Traveler “Hot List” party at Haze Nightclub this weekend.

Check out more Spring 2010 fashion trends.

Sizzling Oscar After-Party Styles

Posted by babu 4:08pm GMT

It's no secret in the Oscars world that some of the fiercest fashions wait until after the awards to come out and play. Some of my favorite looks this year included...

Kate Bosworth romancing in Valentino. While the ruffles along the shoulder and waistline of this gown are no doubt gorgeous, it's the dress's exotic, coral shade that sends the competition packing.

Hilary Swank rocking Armani Privé. The actress took a dramatically different route than stars like J.Lo and Amanda Seyfried (who both wore Armani Privé princess gowns), opting for something that better suits her straightforward style, and really plays up her sex appeal.

Katy Perry mesmerizing in Zuhair Murad. This modern mermaid make (from the Spring 2010 Couture collection) has an Old Hollywood glam appeal that suits Katy's voluminous 'do perfectly.

Kate Beckinsale shimmering in Kaufman Franco. Kate rarely disappoints on the red carpet, and this occasion was no exception. While the fit of her asymmetrical gown was rather breezy, it still managed to emphasize the actress's flawless figure.

And believe me, you ain't seen nuttin' yet! Check out more Oscars after-party styles now on All the Looks.

This Week's Fab Five

Posted by babu 5:23pm GMT

This week was all about...great lengths. And the winners are...

Kate Beckinsale wearing a strapless Lanvin sheath at the “Everybody’s Fine” premiere in New York. A sweep of gray tulle along the strapless bodice and hemline, paired with matching gray heels, add dimension to this LBD. She looks frighteningly polished, as usual.

Penelope Cruz in a light blue-gray Ralph Lauren gown at the "Nine" premiere in London. The combination of beading and chiffon tiers on this dress creates a storybook-romance vibe.

Kate Hudson rocking a white Atelier Versace gown at the "Nine" premiere in London. While Penelope's dress was gorgeous, even it couldn't manage to upstage Kate's dress, which is right on par with the actress's unapologetic approach to fashion. With detailed bodice and tiered, asymmetrical skirt, this gown is equal parts glamorous and gutsy.

Hilary Swank in a sapphire blue Calvin Klein gown at the Museum of the Moving Image salute to Clint Eastwood. The way each piece of this dress twists and turns to highlight Hilary's best assets is almost magical.

Jennifer Garner wearing a belted sheath to the Children's Defense Fund's 19th Annual Los Angeles "Beat the Odds" Awards. While this dress is no Emmys make, it exudes sophistication from shoulder to mid-calf hem. The jeweled belt details also add a sexy, yet subtle, touch.

Check out more sensational celebrity styles in my Fab Five Looks of the Week lookbook.
