In the wake of Pope Benedict XVI’s resignation and in the days leading up to the conclave to elect his successor, new shadows would fall on the Church but the masterminds Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana used the golden mosaics of Sicily’s Cathedral of Monreale as a starting point for their new Fall collection. They presumably made that design decision months ago, long before the Pope announced his resignation. Dolce and Gabbana’s fall 2013 designs could very well make for an all-time collectibles amongst fashionistas.

The biggest night in Hollywood wouldn’t be complete without a few after parties. Each year, the actors flock to the most exclusive parties hosted by Carter Graydon for Vanity Fair and Elton John for his charity foundation with his partner David Furnish. Both after parties commence shortly after the official Oscars Governor’s Ball at the Dolby Theater. Featured here are some of the fashionable moments sighted at both parties. A few of the actresses like Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Lawrence, Jane Fonda et.al, had time to change from their Oscar red carpet attires to a different outfit for the parties. Their red carpet outfits as well as other hits and misses from the Oscar red carpet coverage can be seen here.

Singer Janelle Monae at the Grammys

Karl Lagerfeld

We are all so thrilled to have black and white as the lasted “IN” color for spring. But we seem to have forgotten about one person who wears this color everyday of the year! Is it possible that singer-song writer Janelle Monae could have single handedly inspired the current spring color trend of black and white? A style that the singer uses to pay homage to her mother who used to work as a maid while the singer struggled to make ends meet before getting her break in the music industry. And of course, who can forget the creative director of Chanel, Monsieur Karl Lagerfeld in his trademark black and white attire. You look at every turn today, including major awards red carpets and all you see is the black and white trend. It is very refreshing and elegant, a far fry from the lime green we saw everywhere last year. Here are a few notables you might have already seen but probably not in a collective form as this. You get to pick your favorite look. 🙂

Kim Kardashian may have listened to her fans complaining about her tight leather outfits while pregnant (pictured farther below). She revealed a fresh new look in the current color trend of the season (black and white) in matching white pumps. She definitely looks like a graceful lady in this ensemble. We couldn’t be happier to see her in this fresh new look, appropriate for a lady expecting a baby. Congrats Kim! You did it! 🙂

It’s safe to assume this is every mother’s dream, to go shopping and/or sightseeing with their daughters. Victoria Beckham hopped over to Paris shortly after the London Fashion Week to take in the Paris Fashion Week which starts shortly. Until then, she’s seen doing a little sightseeing with her daughter Harper in color coordinated red shoes and coat. Victoria is wearing designs from her own collection matched with point toe skinny heels. Both appear to be very stylish as usual. Very chic and well suited for Paris –or anywhere else for that matter. J’adore!

Former member of the Pussycat Dolls, Kimberly Wyatt makes good use of her heels to show off her incredible figure and flexibility for Japanese skincare brand Yu-Be’s ad campaign. Just look at those legs and sheer strength! We love how the heels adds length to the overall dance line formation. So graceful!
