Just another Victoria's Secret show

Victoria's Secret show is always controversial for me. I love lingerie and how big this show is getting year by year but I don't like the preparation that models have to follow before the show or just to be selected.
Victoria's Secret's lingerie comes in different sized and I think that also on the catwalk shoul represent different sizes and shapes. There's plenty of amazing models that unfortunately won't even be considered because they don't respect the strict body standards.

This year te show was brought to China in Shanghai, which was a very daring move to bring a lingerie show where models walk in their underwear in a country where everything social is put under a lens.

 

The show was divided into different sections: Nomadic Adventure, Goddesses, Porcelain Angel and Punk Angel, all of them accompanied by 3 different music performances by Leslie Odom Jr, Miguel, Harry Styles and Jane Zhang.

Big City Life

I know, I'm super late to fashion weeks but I just moved to London!!
But, first of all let's start with NYFashion Week, the one that started the fashion season.
I've selected few designers and brands that really impressed me. like Tom Ford, Brandon Maxwell and Oscar de La Renta.

Disastrous Oscars

Oscars!!!! YES!!! After a not so thrilling awards season (fashionally speaking ahah), I couldn't wait for the Oscars! Usually movie stars and candidates show off the best outfit of the year.. however, it wasn't like that.
Nothing exciting, but pretty monotonous. Yes, of course, there were some good outfits, but nothing breath-taking as it should be!
The night had a unexpected turn out with the big mistake in the declaration of the best picture. It was called La La Land on the stage when the real winner was Moonlight! Ops!!!

British Fashion Awards 2016

Last week took place the British Fashion Award, where international and british celebrities, models, designers and fashion related personalities are recognized for their talent.

 

AMA's 2016

Uhh, who will US award as the best music artist of this year? But most of all, what will they wearing? Who will be on the red carpet? Let's find out!

We Cannes't

It's Cannes' time! Yes, the Cote Azur waited for us for 2 weeks of super glamour where fashion and cinema mixed perfectly!
Models, actors and actresses, all there to show us the french riviera glamour... and of course also very sophisticated films!
I went once to Cannes and I didn't like it so much.. maybe because it was very cloudy and cold and I've ended up in the casino (ahah) but I'm sure Cannes must be so glamorous and super chic!

That's a METter of fact

YES! The Met Gala always bring amazing dresses.. and it's always fun see how people can interpret the theme of the event. This year, the theme was Manus X Machina: Fashion in the age of technology exhibition, which was co-chaired by Taylor Swift, Idris Elba, Vogue editor Anna Wintour and Apple executive Jonathan Ive.
Let's see how the guests see theirselves in the future of fashion!

Brit Awards 2016

The Brits Awards are the most important event for the british music scenario. This means that a lot of singers and musicians are awarded with honours like best british band or singer and more but also they show us a lot of great number of outfits and styles during the red carpet and the performances.

VMAs 2015

Summer is almost over and big events are coming back!
Last night was VMAs' turn, hosted by Miley Cyrus who we all know would have been amazing!
Miley rocked a lot of bolding outfits durinf the night and they were... particular!
On the red carpet she wore a full diamond custom Versace "dress" and boots, Judith Leiber bag and Lorraine Schwartz jewels.
Jeremy Scott was in charge for all her outfits and we can say that he almost not dresses her.. her outfits were almost non existent but it's Miley and this is her style now. She has a fantastic body so there's nothing to be ashemed of.
Just one thing.. I'm a little bit uncertain about her blonde dreads... Mmmh.

 

 

 

Could Taylor Swift miss the VMAs? Of course not! Taylor brought with her, her entire Bad Blood girl squad composed by Gigi Hadid, Martha Hunt, Hailee Steinfeld, Cara Delevingne, Selena Gomez, Serayah, Mariska Hargitay, Lily Aldridge and Karlie Kloss. It would have been amazing if they wore their Bad Blood outfits!

I was not so impressed by Taylor's outfit to be honest; she wore an Ashish black and gold top and pants, with Christian Louboutin shoes, an Ofira ring and Lorraine Schwartz earrings.

Cara chose a starry and sparkling Saint Laurent dress with Stuart Weitzman shoes. Lily Aldridge wore an Alexandre Vauthier couture dress wth Edie Parker clutch, Jen Meyer Jewelry earrings, Anita Ko bracelets and Stuart Weitzman heels.




Karlie wore a simple orange long dress with some flat gold sandals. Yes Karlie! I like that she often wears flat at the events instead of heels. Hailee chose a white Stella McCartney jumpsuit with Jill Milan clutch and Jennifer Fisher gold neck cuff.



Selena wore a Calvin Klein black long dress with Salvatore Ferragamo clutch, Ara Vartarian bracelet and Aquazzurra shoes.

Gigi Hadid was super tanned and she wore a bright yellow Emilia Wickstead gown with golden sandals. Martha Hunt wore a black Georges Chakra Couture LBD with sheer short sleeves.

Taylor during her acceptance speech quoted the famous "Imma let you finish" of Kanye West! ahahahah

 Pharrell and his wife were so cute on the red carpet wearing matching denim outfits and shoes.

 The It model of the moment was there too, Emily Ratajkowski wore Altuzarra dress and she matched it with high knee boots.

 Demi Lovato chose a skintight pink mini dress with nude heels.

During her performance of Cool for the Summer with Iggy Azalea, Demi wore a custom bodysuit and boots with a Georgine fur.

Amber Rose surely wanted to make a point with her outfit with all those insults on her tight bodysuit.
Later she stated "when you're wearing your instagram comments". I think that is really sad that Amber need to wear something like that to make other realize that often people are so mean on the internet and also outside. It's so easy tell someone is a bitch or a faggot.. it seems so innocent but instead is really hurtful.

And there we are.. for the first time in forever (omg, I watched Frozen too many times!), I didn't like Chrissy Teigen's outfit!! Usually I love Chrissy's style but this time.... mmmeh.

 Kylie Jenner wore an amazing sand Balmain mini dress with coordinate sandals.

For the after party Kylie chose another piece from Balmain which is a stretch knit cutout mini dress. I love it!!

Nicki Minaj chose a stunning sheer and gold long gown.. WOW! She was beautiful!

Nicki performed two of her songs and later she was joined on the stage by Taylor Swift, with whom she had a little feud on Twitter in july. Nicki and Taylor then singed together one of the latest hit of Taylor, Bad Blood.



When Nicki got on the stage to accept her award, she had a little something to say about Miley who previously mention her about racism  in some inteview. Slaaaaayyy

Now, let's pass to my favourite outfits of the night.
Rita Ora, FKA Twigs and Vanessa Hudgens were stunning!
Rita chose an amazing black Vera Wanf custom dress with Lorraine Schwartz jewels and Stuart Weitzman. It's so beautiful with all those long feathers on the skirt.
Twigs wore an Atelier Versace gown with corset and Eva Fehren jewelry.
These outifts were really classy and audacious but so beautiful.

 

 Vanessa Hudgens was a fairy with her old rose Naeem Khan dress with Stuart Weitzman shoes and an Edie Parker bag. She rocked some Jacquie Aiche earrings, rings and necklaces, bracelets by Norman Silverman, Effy Jewelry, Le Vian, Pasquale Bruni, and Casa Reale.
Everything was perfect, from the dress, to her hair to her accessories, cast on her hand included!

Should we talk about Justin? Yeah.. Justin rocked his new haircut and he was handsome! Usually I don't like Justin Bieber and his look but this time he wore a nice outfit: shirt, jeans, boots and leather jacket. Simple but effective.

Later he performed his new song What Do You Mean and after that he bursted crying. *weird*

 

 We need to mention also the "official announcement" of Kanye West.
At the end of his acceptance speech, which last about 20 minutes rambling speaking about life, here's the bomb!

Was he serious?????

 This year the VMAs were a little awkward.. maybe too many  resolved and "pick fight" feuds, but if it was without them... What kind of VMAs would it be????


Talk to you soon
