Eva Mendes attended the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival yesterday and she opted for this Gucci Fall 2011 Silk Chiffon retro-inspired dress with Blouson Sleeves and High Neck.
The Tribeca Film Festival Red Carpet has been a bit of a mish-mash with starlets wearing everything from Couture to T-Shirts and Capri Pants!
I see why Eva was drawn to this Gucci dress. The color is fantastic and the retro 60's vibe is fun and flirty. It's sort of "Latina Valley of The Dolls"; all that's missing is pool in Palm Springs or Bel Air and some Martinis. Oh and some pool boys! She made some changes to the dress from the runway, eliminating the neck tie (good choice!) and taking away the black belt. I think the belt would have given the dress a stronger silhouette and helped define her waist.
Still, when you look like Eva (look at that bone structure and EYEBROWS!) you can look fabulous in almost anything and she is definitely "owning" this look. For this Eva, you are my Diva of the Day!! What do you guys think??? Would LOVE to know...
Beyonce poses for a Harper's Bazaar shoot at The Ritz Paris balcony
Miss Beyonce is in Paris for a Harper's Bazaar shoot--and enjoying the City of Lights with her hubby Jay-Z and family. They arrived last Monday and are--according to some sources--staying at the LUXE Hotel Le Meurice and purportedly, spending about $20,000 a night on the Penthouse Suite. To them, $20,000 a day is like withdrawing the $40 Fast Cash at the ATM, I am sure!
Sun Goddess: Beyonce in the Harper's Bazaar shoot, wearing Gucci Fall 2011, in The Ritz Paris balcony
Over the weekend, she was spotted doing that aforementioned Harper's Bazaar shoot on the balcony of another tony hotel, The Ritz. She was wearing a sexy black silk chiffon halter gown with red "rose petal" torso detail from Gucci Fall 2011.
Pumps in Disneyland Paris? Yep, when you're Beyonce
Throughout the week, Miss Beyonce has been giving FASHION in the World's Fashion Capital. Only Miss THANG would go to Disneyland Paris and wear black 6" Stiletto BOOTS, black drop-crotch pants and a jersey muscle tee---ALL DAY!!! Everyone else goes to Disney Amusement Parks in shorts and sneakers....But not Miss Beyonce! (well, and I wouldn't either, to tell you the truth!). I love how she added her own "pedestrian touch" by sportin' that fun "Goofy" baseball cap. Cute!
Just Woke Up Look: Beyonce looks for her Morning Croissants
Next, she was also spotted in Paris in a side-baring black jumpsuit and (once again), her favorite accessory: SKY-high heels!!! Notice the skin-colored under bustier.
Let me guess: She was just getting her Morning Coffee and Croissants??? This is what I would wear, wouldn't you?
Le Sexy: Beyonce in Paris
Then, on another Paris outing, Miss Beyonce continues her "I'm in Paris and I am GIVING SEXY!", when she was seen in a very mini side draped printed dress, a big handbag, sunglasses, her iphone and THAT ring!
Let's see: Where could she be going in this little cocktail number? I say, she's going for a Brie Cheese run at the local grocery store. Not.
Prim and Proper: Beyonce in Marc Jacobs Fall 2011 polka-dotted dress
And finally, we'll end our "Beyonce in Paris" fashion tour on a prim and proper note: Here she is in a green-and-red mini-polka dotted dress with a high neck and below-the-knee hovering skirt which she wore yesterday for her Parisian Easter Brunch. Very 1940's and very NOW I must say. Au Revoir Beyonce!

Gucci Fall/Winter 2011:
Is The Train to Florence Here?: Gucci Fall/Winter 2011
It's Milan Fashion Week kids. I discussed my Highlights of NY Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2011 these last couple of weeks as well as Madrid and London Fashion Week Postings HERE and HERE. And so the fashion catwalk continues...For Gucci's 90th Anniversary (90th!!!), Designer Frida Giannini went 70's Glam showing PLUNGING necklines, lots of luxe fur, flowing silk chiffon "Disco" dresses, culottes, silk half-circle skirts and Fedoras. The models can only be described as having a Can-Someone-Tell-Me-Where-My-Driver-Is Attitude that looked chic, effortless and yet Bitchy at the same time: Love it! Colors were no-holds-barred VIBRANT: Chartreuse, bubblegum pink fuchsias, deep violets, lipstick reds. You want Black,? Look somewhere else girls.
Giannini said she was inspired by Anjelica Huston, among other things. I can see it: The Styling and look of the collection reminded me of the Style Icon, especially from a 1970's "snapshot" of her with Jack Nicholson; the slicked hair, the red lips, the I-just-threw-this-on fur...that decolletage! Here are some Highlights...including the Shoes and Purse You Need To Have, come this Fall...

Prada Fall/Winter 2011:
Color Blocked: Italian Supermodel Mariacarla Boscono Prada Fall/Winter 2011
Miucca Prada unveiled her Fall/Winter 2011 Prada Collection, and of course it had all the Prada "stamps": Kitschy "Thrift Store Couture" looks, boxy 60's shapes, bag-lady chic prints and We-Need-To-Have accessories. It was all very Courreges-meets-Paco Rabanne in a way.
Marcia Marcia: Prada Fall/Winter 2011
Yes, there were 60's influences, but there were also 1920's "Amelia Earhart"-meets-early 70's looks a la Marcia Brady looks as well, with those drop-waist dresses above and below...
Drop-That-Belt: Prada Fall/Winter 2011
There was also an overt nod to THE Master: Yves Saint Laurent, and his iconic 1965 Mondrian dress above.
Also evident in the just-unveiled Prada Fall/Winter 2011 Collection: Lots of Croq-skin. In luxurious colorful drop-shoulder boxy coats as well as...
These ankle-grazing shoe-boots that EVERY Fashion-Girl will risk not paying her next months rent for. I would! Just sayin'
Fish Scale Cocktail: Prada Fall/Winter 2011
For evening: Neon colors and over-sized paillettes and long fuzzy fur. As is usual with the House of Prada, there were NO GOWNS, but that doesn't mean that we might not see one or two Custom Prada Gowns at the Academy Awards Red Carpet this Sunday!
And finally: May I show you THE Must-Have Prada Sunglasses for your next trip to the Italian-Swiss Alps this coming Winter. Time to put my early order in! Watch FULL Prada Fall/Winter 2011 Runway Show:
