Diane does not disapppoint

Diane Kruger has been a red carpet staple recently. Well, you can't blame the girl since she has impeccable style. At 34 years young, her outfit choices are elegant and classic but will never fail to make a stunning statement. No wonder top designer houses couldn't get enough of this German beauty.


Just some of my favorite looks of her over the last few years.

Little White Dress

The Inspiration

Stella McCartney, Resort 2011

It's mandatory to get a 'lil white dress for the summer. It is the ultimate statement that takes very little effort to pull of. Most of the time you just want to wear it with your reliable nude sandals (or heels!) and those special occasions when a the right pop of color from your clutch or scarf is needed.

It's clean and chic. Most importantly, it's a classic.

The Must-Buy

Zara 

Closet Essentials

Ladies, trust me on this one. You definitely have to have these. And yes, you should invest on these key pieces too. Not only do you need them to complete an outfit but they will also be your go-to clothes on days that inspiration does not strike so hard. Just like a LBD, every piece on the list is also timeless.

1. White shirt or tank

Mine are mostly from Topshop since I prefer the not-so-stretchy material and the length of course!

2. White crisp button down shirt

VB means business

From my favorite Spice girl to a resident designer of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, Victoria Beckham has showed everyone her passion in making a woman comfortable and confident in her clothes. 

Spring '09

Recalling the reviews on her first collection for Spring 2009, retailers were definitely interested with her designs not because of her name but on the precise structure and tailoring. They were body-conscious and oozed sophistication that any woman would want. And at her second collection, VB still seemed surprised of her success as she showcased 23 pieces for Fall 2009 by appointment. Once again, her sheaths have fits-like-a-glove effect on anyone.

Spring '10

And as her collections grew, she also made sure that she pushed herself into making more fashion-forward yet still girly designs. 2010 was the year when she tried to loosen up a bit and never lose that touch on knowing what a woman wants. She still offered structure and fit but giving us more drapes and metallics. Her own style and personality seemed to have come out more in these collections. It even slipped the minds of the editors that she was once a Pop star as she talked like a pro about her clothes.

Fall '11

So as 2011 comes in, Victoria Beckham has proven that she has made a name as a designer and business woman. Her looks are on-trend and easy to pull off. She is very attentive to details without being over the top. Like any successful fashion designer, she recently graced the runways with outfits woman did not even know they wanted until she showed them. All throughout the years she has been in this industry, her pieces have continuously grown but one thing stays the same, they most definitely accentuate one's assets which translates to confidence and sophistication. Her peers obviously loved her clothes, that you spot them wearing a VB dress on award shows or on the street. And as all these transpires, she is raking more greens than ever. She seems to be on track on a business model that obviously works. Her celebrity status, talent, and ingenuity on design just fits-like-a-glove too with her clothing line.

Can most of us say the same on our favorite Pop star?

XOXO,

Marga

OSCAR FEVER

The seriously hyped Oscar night gave a lukewarm turnout. Thank God the outfits seemed to make up for the lack of hosting lustre by Anne and James. Judging by these ensembles it seems that sparkle, shine and soft material has won night, adding more glitz and glamor to an otherwise, un-eventful event.

And the winner goes to...

In Ellie Saab of course! Sheer Genius!

By Marchesa- Halle is lovely at 40!

Penelope has the style of the night spot on with soft textiles and sparkle in this L'Wren Scott number.

By L'Wren Scott- Bravo to her Emerald jewelry for contrast!

By Monique  Lhuillier- She can do no wrong!

Scarlet in mauve/ scarlet number which seems to be the hue of the night

By Vivienne Westwood- Very Elegant and Classy for her age.

By Givenchy- Ever the avant-garde, Cate.

Erika's Choice: Mila Kunis in Ellie Saab and Halle Berry in Marchesa

What's yours?
