Angelina Jolie - World War Z Berlin Premiere

Angelina Jolie attended the Berlin premiere of partner Brad Pitts latest film, World War Z, which coincided with her 38th birthday.

Jolie looked effortlessly chic as always in a custom Ralph and Russo strapless silk crepe peplum dress in white with matching heels. She accessorised her outfit with a simple rose gold cuff to match the statement detailing of the custom made dress. 

Stunning!

The Oscars of fashion: The CFDA Awards 2013

The annual fashion awards once again took place in New York to honour the outstanding contributions made to American fashion by individuals within the fashion industry.

The models stole the show on the red carpet in some amazing designs, but in particular Adriana Lima looked stunning in her floor length sheer gown... followed closely by Karolína Kurková in a two-piece metallic outfit.

Met Gala 2013 PUNK: Chaos to Couture 

This year the annual gala had a punk inspired theme, and although many in attendance did not adhere to the dress code there were some phenomenal gowns.. and jumpsuits.

These are just a few of my favourite outfits: Blake Lively in Gucci; Kristen Stewart in Stella McCartney; Cara Delevingne in Burberry; Nicole Richie in Topshop Couture; and Sienna Miller in Burberry.

#VogueFestival

                  Yesterday I was fortunate enough to attend the Vogue Festival at the Southbank Centre. I went along to the Victoria Beckham: My Fashion Life talk, where she was interviewed by none other than Vogue Editor, Alexandra Shulman. Victoria gave such a great insight into both her work and personal life during the interview.

What I most admired was her honesty about realising that when she first entered the industry people were going to have preconceptions about her and her fledgling brand. However she wasn't worried about proving critics wrong, she wanted to prove to herself that she could do it.

I absolutely adore Kourtney Kardashian and this outfit proves why. Personally I think she is the most stylish of the Kardashian family - mainly due to her monochromatic style preferences. However, this outfit shows that she is also willing to take risks with her style. Crocodile leather has been used frequently on the runway over the last few years from Tom Ford to Fendi to Balmain. Typically designers have opted for more muted tones when using crocodile leather, but the statement navy hue of this dress is incredible.
