Dramatic and elegant, daring and revealing – let’s discuss the most talked-about celebrity gowns of the moment. As worn by actress Kristen Stewart, Eva Longoria, Freida Pinto, supermodel Anja Rubik and Duchess Catherine Middleton.

Kristen Stewart

Snow White and the Huntsman premiere in London

Kristen Stewart sported a daring Marchesa’s embroidered illusion gown with a skeleton pattern in white lace on the back, arms, and decolletage. The unique design from label’s Fall 2012 collection was paired with stacked Kara Ackerman Designs rings, black Jimmy Choo pumps and minimalistic makeup. 100% gothic romance.

Anja Rubik

Met Gala 2012

Looks like “Angelegging” is getting more and more popular! During the Met Gala, Anja Rubik showed up on the arm of Anthony Vaccarello who designed her widely discussed cream-coloured cut-out gown. The satiny frock created a lot of stir because it revealed model’s hipbones. The overall look was softened with elegant waves and strappy Gucci sandals.

Eva Longoria

2012 Cannes Film Festival

For the opening night of the 65th Annual Cannes Film Festival, the former Desperate Housewife dazzled in the longest dress of the night, a dramatic Marchesa gown with flared ruffle skirt. Her showstopping ensemble was completed with a matching Marchesa clutch and a voluminous updo.

Freida Pinto

2012 Cannes Film Festival

For the premiere of Moonrise Kingdom, Freida Pinto rocked the red carpet in a sequin Michael Angel column. The exquisite gown in pale pink featured a strapless beaded bodice, an on-trend peplum detailing and was paired with emerald earrings, Chopard cocktail ring and a lizard minaudiere from Louis Vuitton.

Kate Middleton

BOA Olympic Concert

The Duchess of Cambridge opted for a teal lace-back gown designed by her favourite Jenny Packham. Catherine’s gown was embellished with Swarovski crystals and featured a pleated skirt. She completed her ensemble with a satin clutch in a matching colour, Jimmy Choo glitter pumps and an off-the-face updo. Simply royal.
