It Girl: Diane Kruger at Cannes 2012.

Diane was definitely having a moment during the Cannes film festival this past week- from premieres in Valli, to galas in Prabal and Chanel, and press junkets in a very daring (but oh, so perfect) Versus mini-dress- she stole the spotlight at every single event, red carpet or not. Oh, and her perfect accessory during the festival? Her eternally scruffy-cute boyfriend Pacey, I mean, Mr. Joshua Jackson. File as It girl status, well-deserved!

Top Shots: Couture Shows 2012.

One day I will own a Givenchy jacket! 

Could Arizona Muse be any cuter?

My new favorite shoes. GORG.

Light and beautiful. 

All lined up and ready to go.

So black swan.

Allright, these shoes and pretty fab too.

That Giambattista Valli coat is out of control!

Some very fashionable bag ladies.

A shearling coat never goes out of style.

Far shot, so perfect.

The perfect couple.

The Versace girls are hot, hot, hot.

Who better to finish it off that ADR. LOVE.

Christian Dior Couture 2012.

If there was one collection that made me a believer of the future of fashion house of Christian Dior sans its former maestro John Galliano, it was Bill Gaytten's couture show this past week. Although stumbling about with his previous couture presentation and subsequent spring, fall, resort and pre-fall collections, he made a definitive statement for couture fashion week, just in time for the Oscars next month. What do you think Charlize Theron (the house's main Hollywood golden girl) will wear this time? File as back to life.

10 Best Dressed: Golden Globes 2012.

Red carpet season is always an event in my household and the ladies walking down the red carpet at the Golden Globes were no disappointment this year. Although there were many sure things, lots of mermaid trains and many dresses that were curvy in all the right places, there was only one that made me gasp for all the right reasons. Tilda Swinton- the woman who usually turns up in something the critics hate yet the fashion crowd celebrates- pleased both masses with her periwinkle Haider Ackermann ensemble which made me a believer in this it-designer of the moment. But that's not to say that Jessica in Elie Saab, Charlize in Dior or Julianne in Chanel (all couture, mind you) weren't close contenders for best dressed. File as drama-rama.

Dior Couture 2011.

Couture season is well underway, what with Dior kicking off the festivities late last week, and even though it was the first, it definitely will not be considered the best of the shows yet to come. Without John Galliano at the helm and no hopes of his return, the couture collections clearly suffered without his artistic vision. Regardless of his personal antics, he clearly had one of the most defined visions for Dior which showed us dresses that were fit for a grand stage. Now, with Dior's new disjointed effort by Bill Gaytten to fill the void, the show was nothing more than a circus without its main ringleader. File under maybe next time.
