Who's Your Pick?

As 2013 draws to a close, let's take a look back at the celebrities that have impressed us with their incredibly chic street style. These are the trendsetters, the game changers, the rule breakers and the ones that inspired our 2013 wardrobes with their extraordinary style.

The American socialite never fails to make an influential statement with every look she wears. Olivia has a knack for creative styling and is an expert at accessorizing. She adds prints, trendy coats and flats for comfort with flair.

The stunning 'Revenge' star mixes up glamour and grunge with panache. Her savvy Brit Rock look is attained with high-street brands and everyday pieces that we can all afford. Ripped jeans, biker jackets, tartan and stripes were high on the style list for Ashley this year.

The Aussie supermodel has proven her style icon status time and time again. Let's face it, she could wear a paper bag and still look good. This year Miranda attracted the pavement paparazzi with her sophisticated caped coats, floaty summer dresses & thigh-high boots.

When you have unlimited funds like Russian beauty Elena Perminova, wearing haute couture is an every day type of thing. This billionaire blonde has access to an incredible designer closet filled with Burberry, Chanel, Valentino and Chloé. Elena is a fearless fashionista, experimenting with bold colours, unique shapes, quirky hats, feathers and fur.

No Style Icon list would be complete with the mention of It-Alternate-Chick Alexa Chung. Her tomboyish style is accented by patterned skirts, flat shoes and fedoras. Put on something leather, a fitted sweater and striped tee and you will have 'The Alexa Look' pinned down. 

Russia's most stylish export, Miroslava Duma has enthralled us this year with her unique sense of fashion, innovative twist of trends and love of high-end labels. She dares to wear the things others are afraid to...and does so with great aplomb.

Reese has that Girl-Next-Door look all wrapped up with her updated version of classic looks. Accessible and easy-to-imitate, simplicity dictates her wardrobe with well-tailored, interchangeable pieces that are worn with confidence.

Rosie has topped our weekly style charts during 2013 with her effortlessly and elegant style. Her bohemian influences came to surface with folksy printed dresses, pants and hats. Rosie favors uncomplicated styling with slim tees & jeans, sidewalk stilettos and slick jackets.

The Saturday's singer Mollie King stylishly emerged as a fashion icon this year with her outstanding street outfits. She keeps it simple with minimal accessories and classic pointy toe pumps. Mollie made us fall for printed pants with her many snazzy pairs. Her graceful demeanor and that fixed-on genuine smile make her style all that more charming.

Jessica Alba's inherent fashion sense has been remarkably consistent over the year with her artful layering and enviable collection of blazers. Adding a t-shirt and skinny jeans to that, Jessica has mastered this three-piece look and reinvents it over and over again to perfection.

Gingham Style

Trendspotting
Gingham Prints

Made popular in the sixties, and the 18th century before that, Gingham has been around for a long long time. Recognized by its distinguishable checked print, gingham has recently been reinvented on the 2013 runways to suit the modern fashionabilities of the 21st century girl.

On the Runway

The Spring 2013 runways were gingered with gingham prints, each designer using this timeless design in a unique and fresh way. Kinder Aggugini, Marc Jacobs, Lela Rose, Nanette Lepore and Prada kept true to the original essence of the tiny checkered print in their collections. Cacharel, Kate Spade, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Oscar de Renta and Henry Holland jazzed up the print with vibrant colours and trendy silhouettes. Aquilano.Rimondi went for a quirkier appeal, while Sportmax, Marni and Topshop Unique further advanced the print into a grid-like pattern. 

Celebrities Doing Gingham Style

Since it's stint on the Spring and Fall 2013 runways, the trend has been fervently adopted by starlets & socialites, each doing their own spin on Gingham Style. 

Cropped Gingham Frocks

Chloe Moretz went sweet and girly in a pastel pink gingham print Opening Ceremony dress. Sarah Jessica Parker wears a red and white wrapover dress by Oscar de la Renta. Nina Dobrev was onto the trend a year ago, spotted in a flirty denim blue gingham frock by D&G. Kirsten Dunst was delightful in a navy & white vintage-styled Miu Miu look. Even Anna Wintour has caught onto Gingham Style, seen in a red & white Marni dress.

Casual Inspired Gingham Styles

Dita von Teese went retro at Coachella in a black and white flower decked gingham dress. Amber Heard does gingham grunge in a red and black check print midi-skirt, paired with a white vest and black sandals. Miranda Kerr styled her gridded Stella McCartney blazer simply with a jeans and tee. Taylor Swift wears a classic red and black Topshop checkered shirt, with skinny jeans and brogues. Alexa Chung tried out the trend in larger checks, seen in a chic black & white shirt dress by Paul Smith.

Gingham Glam

Gingham can also be dressed up for more formal occasions. Marion Cotillard was elegant in a black and white checked Christian Dior skirt. Carly Rae Jepsen styled her black and white checkerboard dress with a bright red tuxedo blazer and Ruthie Davis spiked stilettos. Miroslava Duma goes for a bolder block print in beige and white by Louis Vuitton. Kylie Minogue wears multi-gingham print in a sexy cut-out Stella McCartney dress.

The Best Street Style Icons of 2012

Who Would You Vote For?

As the year comes to a close, I've decided to review the 'Looks of the Week' popularity ranks of celebrities that stood out with their stellar sense of street wear. And the nominees are in! Although each of them flaunt an entirely different classification of 'what is style', they all have equally inspired our attention. Let's rewind on the eight best street stylista's of 2012 and vote on who reigns supreme. Please click on each image for a larger view.

Alessandra Ambrosio

Victoria's Secret supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio displayed her love for 2012's colour trends with pilings of pastels and neons. She never misses an opportunity to show off her amazing pins, let's not forget that she gave birth to her second baby in May this year. Alessandra expresses her indie city chic style with frayed denim shorts and fringing, colorful tie dye prints, open-toe flat sandals, Chloe wedge sneakers and suede Isabel Marant ankle boots, worn from winter through to spring. She accessorizes with skinny belts, Westward Leaning sunglasses and a Mulberry or Celine trapeze bag.

Poppy Delevingne

One of the breakout street style icons of 2012 has to be British model and socialite Poppy Delevingne. The most intriguing part about her style is that it's unpredictable, you never know what Poppy will impress us with next. She picks out classic pieces from high end designers like Chanel, Temperley London, Dolce & Gabbana and Sass & Bide, which she creatively mixes with her exceptional styling skills. Just the right choice of heel, jacket, bag, hat and belt completely transforms her outfits into something outstanding. And the paparazzi seem to agree as well.

Gwen Stefani

The punk chic appeal of Gwen Stefani is always welcomed, she makes rock star style more accessible. Gwen injects a grand level of verve and vivacity to her savvy street ensembles in the most effortless way. She leans towards dashing blazers, trench coats and attractive jackets, layered over leather, patterned or plaid pants, in either a slim or slouchy silhouette. Gwen wears a pair of pointy-toe pumps as well as she does Doc Martin combat boots. Stella McCartney round frame sunglasses, red rouge & funky hats are an intrinsic part of her look. 

Jessica Alba

One actress who has dazzled us with her street style this year is Jessica Alba. I haven't seen a look of hers that could not be easily reinvented. Jessica owned the coloured denim trend for 2012, having a pair in every colour. She also loves Current/Elliott printed jeans & floral pants. Jessica infuses bright hues into her outfits with flair... she also does an impressive endeavor of wearing neutrals. For winter, Jessica incorporated slick blazers, parkas & leather biker jackets into her covetable wardrobe. Fun coloured sunglasses, cozy Theodora & Callum scarves, every type of designer handbag and heel accessorized Ms Alba's ultra modish looks. 

Miranda Kerr

We can't possibly vote on the biggest style icons of 2012 without mentioning Miranda Kerr. The Australian supermodel had us captivated by her debonair air of intellectual and tasteful style. From floaty feminine summer dresses, figure-loving skinny jeans and sophisticated coats...to sexy stilettos, ballet flats and thigh high boots, Miranda has it covered. She has been rarely spotted without a designer Prada/Celine/Hermes/Givenchy duffle bag over her shoulder and Stella McCartney sunnies shading her eyes. Her contemporary and uncomplicated style has been inspiring to watch during the year.

Olivia Palermo

New York socialite Olivia Palermo brightly shaded in 2012 with her bold employment of trendy colours & complex stylings. Olivia proved that she isn’t afraid to mix different shades, and introduced us to many new colour combinations. Her love for vibrant prints was also evident with numerous pairs of floral pants and skirts. Olivia masterfully blends high & low end brands to create luxe and inventive looks. This year, her style dossier encompassed sharp blazers and tailored coats worn over skinny trousers, along with snazzy heels & a designer tote.

Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift brings back retro charm of off-duty actresses from the 1950s with her wholesome all-American girl-next-door style. She charmed us in flirty floral frocks with A-line skirts & nipped-in waists, a cardigan casually thrown over. Stripes also remain one of her favourite prints, her collection of black & white sweaters is endless. Taylor comfortably walked through 2012 in Charlotte Olympia kitty flats, brogues & loafers, an occasional peep-toe sandal in between. Even in a pair of narrow-fit pants, Taylor is always utterly feminine and graceful. A bright red lip & Ralph Lauren messenger bag have been her best accessories this year.  

Victoria Beckham

Queen V doesn't need any title to recognize her immaculately chic street style. Victoria Beckham has undoubtedly been one of the most elegant street style icons of the year, never setting a foot or hair out of place. I guess its easy to look this amazing all the time when you can have the luxury of your own fashion line. Posh is always polished in figure-hugging midi-dresses, smartly cut cigarette trousers and flaired-leg jeans, crisp white shirts and pencil skirts. With a crocodile chain handle clutch under her arm, skyscraping heels or peep-toe boots and those distinguishable sunglasses, Victoria defines urban glamour.

The Leather Dress Trend

This season, the regular time-honoured 'LBD' has been replaced by the 'BLD' or as we know it - the 'Black Leather Dress'. This massive trend has been building momentum since the Fall/Winter 2012 fashion weeks in February, seen on catwalks from New York to Milan. Easy to style and effortless to wear, the little black leather dress serves as an edgier (and warmer) alternative to your classic LBD, dispensing a glossier, goth chic appeal. 

On The Runway

The misconception that leather dresses have to be skintight and curve-hugging has been dispelled thanks to designers like Valentino, Gianfranco Ferre and Jean Paul Gaultier, who have created more capacious versions. However, if you do prefer the second-skin silhouette, Reem Acra, Pucci and Sportmax have got you covered, whilst Calvin Klein and Givenchy have opted for a flattering fit-and-flare style.

Celebrity Inspired Leather Looks

Ideal for cold winter nights, the long-sleeved leather mini has been a favourite amongst celebrities, as it provides a sleek, streamlined silhouette and oozes urbane glamour. Paired with ankle boots or strappy sandals, this is the perfect after-dark winter outfit.

The sleeveless or strapless leather dress is also an alluring choice as seen on Cody Horn, Nicky Hilton and Jessica Alba. Adding a pair of ankle-strap heels and studded accessories enhance the edginess of this look. And don't forget a red-hot lip colour for an extra dose of glamour.

Get With The Trend

You're not limited with choices when it comes to translating this trend off the runway & into reality. Be it elegant, sporty, sexy or sophisticated, there's a leather dress to suit your style.

1. Lace studio dress with leather peplum frill. $159 by Zara.com
2. Leather bustier dress with flair pleated skirt. $462 Parker from Blacklabelboutique.com
3. Faux leather skater dress with scalloped cutwork hem. £35 via Newlook.com

Twilight Stars Style Evolution

Five Years, Five Movies, Four Break-Out stars and a multitude of gorgeous gowns...

To commemorate the end of the Twilight Saga movie franchise this week, we take a look back at how each of the leading ladies' style has evolved since the beginning in 2008. This is a red carpet recap of all the world premiere events. Who has upped their style ante over the years?

Click the image for a larger view.

Kristen Stewart

Breaking Dawn Part 2 2012 - For the final movie premiere Kristen took a plunge and wore a very racy unlined Zuhair Murad gown. The caramel corseted strapless dress is completely see-though with a narrow waist belt. You either love it or hate it.
Breaking Dawn Part 1 2011 - Bold in blue, K-Stew wowed at the US premiere in a cobalt J.Mendel sequin sprayed gown with thigh-baring slit, along with Jimmy Choo heels
Breaking Dawn Part 1 2011 UK - Kristen was hypnotic at the London premiere in a black sheer beaded Roberto Cavalli gown, styled with a wide leather McQueen belt & Jimmy Choos.
Eclipse 2010 - For the June premiere, the 22-year-old star picked a pristine white embellished one-sleeved Elie Saab dress with nude Christian Louboutin pumps.
New Moon 2009 - Kristen went dainty and feminine in a white tulle Oscar de la Renta gown, specked with metallic graffiti beadwork.
Twilight 2008 - For her very first thrust into the Twilight spotlight, Kristen wore a tri-coloured Balenciaga Resort 2009 one-shouldered dress with black pumps. Edgy and sexy - two things definitive of the starlet's style.

Stand Out Look - The elegant black Roberto Cavalli gown. What I like about Kristen's Twilight style is her confidence to experiment with different types of looks.

Ashley Greene

Breaking Dawn Part 2 2012 - Ashley looks ethereal in a floaty pale one-shouldered Donna Karan gown with draped bodice and layered chiffon skirt.

Breaking Dawn Part 1 2011 - The actress was vampish in a custom made crimson red Donna Karan gown with asymmetrical layered panels.

Eclipse 2010 - The brunette beauty goes Grecian in a blue-grey Alexis Mabille strapless couture gown that's clasped at the side with a capacious silhouette.

New Moon 2009 - Ashley sizzled in a red haute Prabal Gurung gown, with high neck and off-the-shoulder added straps.

Twilight 2008 - Starting off on a stylish note back in '08, Ashley looked lovely in a black ruffle-tiered dress by Ina Soltani with decorative belt and strappy sandals.

Stand Out Look - 2011's radiant red Donna Karan gown. Ashley has always had a great sense of style, she continues to refine it as time goes by.

Dakota Fanning

Breaking Dawn Part 2 2012 - Dakota debuted her new brunette tresses at last night's premiere, looking regal in a teal blue Elie Saab gown with transparent lace side insert.

Eclipse 2010 - Dakota picked out a fawn shaded Elie Saab dress, beautifully embroidered with a feathered hemline. Her studded bow sandals are by Christian Louboutin.

New Moon 2009 - A much younger Dakota made her Twilight red carpet debut in a black lace Valentino dress with scalloped hem, pairing it with burgundy satin heels.

Stand Out Look - This week's Elie Saab gown was impeccable. For me, Dakota has had the most consistent style over the years, always pretty and charming.

Nikki Reed

Breaking Dawn Part 2 2012 - Rounding up her Twilight style, Nikki looked statuesque in an ice grey Versace gown with metallic trimmed corset.

Breaking Dawn Part 1 2011 - The 24-year-old brought beautiful colour to the carpet in a mint green Grecian inspired Marchesa gown with gold beaded border.

Eclipse 2010 - Nikki chose a fanciful powder blue Marchesa dress with embellished bodice, full feathered skirt and shoulders. This has an ice capades feel to it, don't you think?

New Moon 2009 - Nikki went simple in a icy blue Burberry Prorsum mini dress with drape-pleat detailing, a black belt and strappy Louboutin sandals.

Twilight 2008 - A mediocre start, Nikki's twilight red carpet debut was in a black and white floral Marchesa dress with Rene Caovilla pumps.

Stand Out Look - The finesse and poise of her 2012 Versace gown remains unmatched. Looking back, Nikki's style has definitely evolved for the better over the years.
