MET GALA 2015 | CELEB STYLE

The Met Gala is easily the event where celebrities go all out with their outfits. It's the one chance a year that your fave celebs wear the craziest clothing and it deemed acceptable. Whilst there were some questionable outfit choices at last nights event, I am going to focus on my best dressed! So here we go...

Rosie Huntington-Whitely is showing of her AMAZE figure in this stunning Atelier Versace dress. If her ensemble wasn't sexy enough, she paired her look with slicked back hair and a dark lip. Round of applause for RHW? I think so.

MARION COTILLARD | CELEB STYLE

Coco Chanel and Bridget Bardot lead the charge for fashionable French women in the first half of the 20th Century, but there are plenty of women following in their fashionable footsteps today. Marion Cotillard is one such woman. Capitulated into the limelight in 2007 after her multi-award winning performance in La Vie En Rose (she earned an Oscar, BAFTA and Golden Globe!), Cotillard has been one of my red carpet and off duty fashionistas ever since. While she took some time to get into her stride (lets not look back at the early noughties shall we?) once she got it, she got it good.

She wore this gorgeous white cape with a Chanel Couture dress to the 2008 BAFTA Awards.

ANJELINA JOLIE | CELEB STYLE

In celebration of Miss Jolie's 39th birthday, I am taking a look back at her most memorable and fashionable looks. From goth girl to glamazon, Angelina's style has grown up with her. Whilst she still gives us hints of her former black-dominated style here and there, her fashion sense has evolved into that of a sophisticated woman. Keep rocking the red carpet Angie!

I love this picture of a very young Angelina. Even at 10 years old she had her own sense of style. Here she is attending the Oscars with her dad, John Voight.

LUPITA NYONG'O | CELEB STYLE

Hollywood's new sweetheart and Oscar winning actress Lupita Nyong'o has just been named People magazine's Most Beautiful Woman 2014. To celebrate this, take a look back at her best red carpet looks! Not only has this beauty got serious acting chops, she can give anyone a run for their money in the style stakes...

 Lupita stunned in this white and gold Prada gown, worn to the Toronto premiere of 12 Years A Slave.

ZOOEY DESCHANEL FOR TOMMY HILFIGER | FASHION FOCUS

Zooey Deschanel. Actress. Singer. Designer?

I absolutely fell in love with Zooey as Jess in the hilarious sitcom New Girl. However, before this career defining role, she had supporting roles in films Almost Famous, The Good Girl, Elf, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Failure to Launch, Yes Man and (500) Days of Summer. Quite an impressive list. But this kooky Californian truly found international fame in the form of Jessica Day. A teacher looking for a new apartment after breaking up with her boyfriend moves in with three guys, and becomes the 'new girl' in the loft. On top of all the awards she has won and been nominated for, Zooey also finds time to do music with M. Ward, creating the unique sound of She & Him. So what's next for this accomplished star? Fashion, designing a capsule collection for Tommy Hilfiger.

IMG NOW SIGNS MODELS NO MATTER WHAT SIZE, AGE OR RACE | FASHION FOCUS

The fashion industry has largely reduced beauty to one size, shape, height, and race for a very long time. Ever since the days "heroin chic" in the nineties, the fashion industry has lacked diversity. All to often, we see the same girls on the runway and in the magazines. 5"10. Size zero. White. Is this what "beauty" looks like to everyone around the world? Top modelling agency IMG seems to have recognised that it is not.

IMG, which represents everyone from Gisele to Joan Smalls to Kate Upton, is now set to starting signing models regardless of their shape, size, age, race, and height. If you've got the talent, they'll sign you. "We want to be an ageless, raceless, weightless agency," IMG Models Senior Vice President and Managing Director Ivan Bart said. "We just want to represent the best people in the industry."

ABERCROMBIE & FITCH'S PLUS SIZE PLANS | FASHION FOCUS

In a bid to attract new customers following dips in sales, Abercrombie & Fitch will start selling clothing in plus sizes for the first time.

The announcement marks a significant departure from the company’s “no plus size” policy, which fails to cater for customers above a size L, or the equivalent of a US size 10 (UK 14).

In recent times Abercrombie has continued to lose out against rival American Eagle Outfitters and fast fashion retailers Forever 21 and H&M.

A&F CEO Mike Jefferies made headlines after a controversial interview where he defended the label’s sizing policy, insisting that “only cool kids” have the right look to shop at Abercrombie.

ALEXA CHUNG | CELEB STYLE

Alexa Chung has for a long time now been one of my favourite people.

When I first got really into fashion aged 13, I cut out loads of pictures from my "substantial" pile of magazines I had already collected to stick on my bedroom door. The above image was one of them. She's at Wireless Festival, and quite frankly, just looks cool. With the definitive Mulberry bag in hand, Alexa was never one to shy away from fashion, and it's safe to say her individualism has made her one of today's style icons.

BECOME A DISNEY PRINCESS? YES PLEASE! | FASHION FOCUS

I’m sure it is every little girl’s dream to become a Disney princess, and I’m not ashamed to say that at 18 years old, it is still one of mine. I only just came back from Paris last week, where my family and I revisited Disneyland and recreated photos from 1998.

Still being very much in the Disney spirit, I am very excited to hear that Disney and Harrods will auction off ten Princess-inspired dresses created by some of the world’s most famous fashion houses, including Oscar de la Renta, Versace and Elie Saab. The sale will take place in November at Christie’s, and will raise money for the Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity.

FITCH, PLEASE! | FASHION FOCUS

When I'm in bed but don’t want to go to sleep, the one place I go to is Youtube. And the channel is Ellen’s.

Last night I stumbled across one of Ellen DeGeneres’s videos titled “Fitch, Please!” and decided to watch it. To my horror did I discovered that Abercrombie & Fitch are not selling “plus size” women’s clothing, and by “plus size” they mean anything over a size 10. And what is the reason for this you may ask? Because they don’t want ”larger” people shopping in their stores because they’re “not cool enough”. Abercrombie doesn’t even list women’s XL or XXL on its size chart.

Excuse my French, but… what da f**k?! 

Ellen was clearly outraged by this, as am I, stating “Since when is something over a size 10 a plus size?”

MARY KATE & ASHLEY | CELEB STYLE

Today is the Olsen twins 27th birthday! For someone who grew up watching them from their days on TV in Two of a Kind, (I was born after the glory days of Full House), to their films including Passport to Paris, Our Lips Are Sealed, Winning London, Holiday in the Sun, When in Rome, and New York Minute, (I had to mention all the good ones!), it seems odd that they’re only nine years older than me. 

They then seamlessly made the transition from actresses to business women, and then to fashion icons. Over the years, they stopped dressing in the same clothes and blossomed into their own styles - Mary Kate is the more quirky of the two, whilst Ashley is sophisticated and chic. Here are some of their best looks…

Clearly still in their "matchy matchy" phase, the twins first showed signs of their budding fashion sense back in March 2002 when they wore matching black dresses with lace detail to the Vanity Fair Oscars party.

BEYONCE'S TOUR LOOKS | FASHION FOCUS

After the success of his designs for Rita Ora's Radioactive Tour, Emilio Pucci creative director Peter Dundas has created five looks for the Queen Bey to wear during her Mrs Carter Show tour, which kicked off last night in Belgrade, Serbia.

"Doing Beyoncé's costumes makes a designer want to run home and sketch," he told Vogue. "She is one of the sweetest stars to work with. She knows what she wants and what will work for her, but she respects creativity. I thought she looked incredible in the costumes, but it's difficult to mess things up with her. She's one of those girls who look even more beautiful without make-up."

GWYNETH PALTROW | CELEB STYLE

Gwyneth Paltrow first came to my attention as a style icon when she wore a stunning white Tom Ford dress with a dramtic cape to the Oscars in 2012. If you don't remember the gown, (how is that even possible?!) here's a photo.

BEYONCE IS NEW FACE OF H&M | FASHION FOCUS

It seems Beyoncé's star power is just rising and rising, with her AMAZING perfromance at the Superbowl, her advert for Pepsi showing off all of dance skills from past and present, and now this: starring in H&M's new campaign.

The singer stars in the Swedish retailer's new campaign modelling her super toned body, and a series of bikinis and beachwear inspired by her individual style. A rep for the brand stated that she gave "personal input on the pieces seen in the campaign" - nice to see she's had an input in the collection, and not just modelling for the sake of it. The summer campaign also features a bikini from the H&M for Water collection, which raises money for WaterAid.

PRIMARK'S SWIMWEAR COLLECTION 2013 | FASHION FOCUS

To be honest, these new pictures of Primark's 2013 swimwear collection have made me quite sad... When is it going to get sunny in England? It's supposed to be spring isn't it? Why is it sooooo cold?

Full of tribal prints and Ibiza-ready neons, the collection is perfect whatever your summer plans. And because it's Primark it's all super affordable, with prices starting from as little as £3! So now you've an excuse to pack a different bikini for every day of your holiday, if you can fit them all in next to all your other clothses. However, at 3 quid is does beg the question, are they good quality? And for a girl with small boobs like me I need a bikini that will enhance what little I've got.

PRADA CANDY L'EAU FILM | FASHION FOCUS

Teaming up with directors Roman Coppola and Wes Anderson, (I loved his film Moonrise Kingdom, so sweet!), Prada celebrates its Prada Candy L'Eau fragrance with a film. Starring French actress and model Léa Seydoux, the short sees her having to decide (or rather not decide) between two men who've fallen in love with her. The perfume's nude and gold Art Deco packaging perfectly complements the romantic and dreamlike Parisian paradise created by Coppola and Anderson. Available in 30ml, 50ml and 80ml bottles, the fragrance is available exclusively at Selfridges from March 28, and nationwide from April 29.

Lots of love, Anna x
