The Russian supermodel commanded attention on the red carpet at this year's Cannes Film Festival, which was held in May. Her look was complimented by black and gold strappy sandals, also by <i>Gucci</i>.</span><br /><br /><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Swedish actress <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Alicia Vikander</span></b> picked out the same lush green <i>Gucci </i>wrap gown for the premiere of her new movie, 'Anna Karenina', held in London on 4th September. The 23-year old was perfectly poised in the silken gown, pairing it with a black clutch and peep-toe heels.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Model <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Yulia Kharlapanova</span></b>, who is also of Russian descent, walks the Gucci runway for Fall 2012-13. She is styled with wine red lips, sheer black tights and ankle-strap sandals.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlPP3jQN7OQ19H7BI9p5OWoD_uyz1fwZb1jDmO2fAFfjSvRYyBDSjmrnTjdTa5MJ45IWG6oll-Kwj2R_IMANdn8NDavUkhJMaYyBlXNY6s1-oV_trHvmEjkn5y3jaosJrD5vVTU4-Perok/s1600/gucci2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlPP3jQN7OQ19H7BI9p5OWoD_uyz1fwZb1jDmO2fAFfjSvRYyBDSjmrnTjdTa5MJ45IWG6oll-Kwj2R_IMANdn8NDavUkhJMaYyBlXNY6s1-oV_trHvmEjkn5y3jaosJrD5vVTU4-Perok/s640/gucci2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the beauty front, <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Natasha</span></b> was given an smouldering smokey eye, her entire eyelid precisely pencilled in with coal black eyeliner. She wore her hair back in a chic ponytail that only supermodels could pull off with an evening gown of this stature. And perhaps the most captivating part of her look are those dazzling diamond and emerald encrusted two-tone briolet earrings by <i>de Grisogono</i>.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Alicia</span></b> wore a much more subtle version of the smokey eye, her hair elegantly pulled up in a volumized pouf with side-swept fringe and clipped-in waves.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Who wore it better?</i> It's fascinating how the same dress takes a different style stance depending on the wearer. Natasha makes it seem fiercely sexy with her Angelina-inspired leg poses, while Alicia keeps it demurely distinguished. I think <i>both</i> these ladies look exceptionally stunning and completely outshine the runway model, but Alicia wins it for me - I loved how she gracefully transformed this look from sensual to sweet. <b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">What are your thoughts?</span></i></b></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span></div></div>

There was a striking contrast between the thick wool 'cocoon' coats and wispy chiffon dresses. The monochromatic colour scheme highlighted the delicate beauty of each look, wavering between black, cherry red, bright blue and plush purple. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'd most love to see the v-neck purple gown (6th on bottom row) worn on the red carpet.</span></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Blugirl</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfczr4WV8x7FU3L2G64lj6hlKJ9RcQYNUNTQ3Kr62hT8aa6LShmfmJarAHDOm4GIsO4oqv3yojaYH38MRLucaE-ogu7OCtWecfwAEazi9Ut32l_c9dZ99T0qpl_1ejKFMeMjEPPjvWz-FZ/s1600/mfwbluegirl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfczr4WV8x7FU3L2G64lj6hlKJ9RcQYNUNTQ3Kr62hT8aa6LShmfmJarAHDOm4GIsO4oqv3yojaYH38MRLucaE-ogu7OCtWecfwAEazi9Ut32l_c9dZ99T0qpl_1ejKFMeMjEPPjvWz-FZ/s640/mfwbluegirl.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Blugirl's</i> buoyant range dresses four types of girls for Winter 2012. The preppy collegiate in red and blue argyle, polo necks, striped knits and stockings with socks. A phantasmic pastel princess in minted prints, pink and peach fuzzy coats, tights and earmuffs. A woolly white snow bunny, wrapped in chunky knits and Mongolian fur with fluffy knee-high boots and oversized beanies. And finally, the jaunty party girl in sequined and fringed little black dresses. A collection that covers style from the classroom to the nightclub.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Gucci</b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiQAQmEuLKyYjFequ4nWpSzF5VRtJm7zqkqWnjzSgdzYoh_g5F5jdR_9Vlnk4IsSbXEZXe6RE3AYvfKVZcZFGatcupzZpXinKct17DtBS2vQUJcpMO8lUfA5FzA0LeqsgQjJhQiPGWNbsy/s1600/mfwgucci.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiQAQmEuLKyYjFequ4nWpSzF5VRtJm7zqkqWnjzSgdzYoh_g5F5jdR_9Vlnk4IsSbXEZXe6RE3AYvfKVZcZFGatcupzZpXinKct17DtBS2vQUJcpMO8lUfA5FzA0LeqsgQjJhQiPGWNbsy/s640/mfwgucci.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The dark and esoteric ambience at <i>Gucci's</i> Fall offering was detected through dusky shades and opulent fabrics such as lavish velvets, jacquard, leather, lace and fur. The 19th century inspired range featured luxe-loungewear with slouchy trousers, smoking coats, capes and flat riding boots. Decadent evening wear began with belted floral dressed and ended with sheer silk chiffon and tulle gowns, embellished by sparkly floral appliqués.</span></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Moschino</span></b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuVMK9oXInaY6wHQuuW_3hjrQ2ajaPGrKSWXNVrsOzJY1a4zB3RIOhxHAMjFhuFlxmgREJoS5cOwl5TAG-pCTffEtEiJQzRP7dOfixY96vQ-TZGWT5jZYQMM29SlNgany41dG27hwftV1v/s1600/mfwmoschino.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuVMK9oXInaY6wHQuuW_3hjrQ2ajaPGrKSWXNVrsOzJY1a4zB3RIOhxHAMjFhuFlxmgREJoS5cOwl5TAG-pCTffEtEiJQzRP7dOfixY96vQ-TZGWT5jZYQMM29SlNgany41dG27hwftV1v/s640/mfwmoschino.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The swinging 60's mingles with the military at <i>Moschino's</i> sprightly Fall 2012 showing. A youthful pageant of colourful and sporadically quilted coats were bedizened with gold buttons and chunky jewellery. Pants were skinny and colour blocked, skirts never below the knee. Quirky little drop-waist dresses were decked out with fringes and frills. Models were alternated with cowboy hats and beehives with large head bows.</span></div><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Prada</b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3QFeNp82Ax4HSgm_RC_pj6HvuYG5ACwROMkTeomscZ87JmyJIkD_D_A5mXBjw6uChulDjizP1qwu8OvlwIykLGvpLnCDDRw8idgQCUnlmAQw-mTMxOnd5zi7lNKcDFNJTJaZG59MWhG1Y/s1600/mfwprada.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3QFeNp82Ax4HSgm_RC_pj6HvuYG5ACwROMkTeomscZ87JmyJIkD_D_A5mXBjw6uChulDjizP1qwu8OvlwIykLGvpLnCDDRw8idgQCUnlmAQw-mTMxOnd5zi7lNKcDFNJTJaZG59MWhG1Y/s640/mfwprada.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /><br /></b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Longer-lengths and geometric prints were the vanguard of <i>Prada's</i> Fall/Winter collection. That's if the sleek dip-dyed ombré hair and fierce neon smoked eyeshadow didn't already hog the limelight. The show opened with bejewelled black jackets and sleeveless tunics, navigating on to clashing mosaic printed suits in rusted orange, indigo, blue and mustard. <i>Everything </i>was worn over straight-leg trousers that grazed above the ankle. Models carried structured duffle bags and wore two-toned rubber-soled Mary Janes. Retro Appropriate. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Iceberg</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9X7-DxHpHy2Mwz38LJT0PrvjnCwVWKHh7PV-8eCTngxRcuyzreWCl1ttRiax8n7Yt6Bw2u7N5c7KnxXu4oQP4ImUCE8JQ95d9kvidJ2KDUT9YDOMSVsBbn4eFsm4LJFXVKlt_qoP6Ps8g/s1600/mfwiceberg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9X7-DxHpHy2Mwz38LJT0PrvjnCwVWKHh7PV-8eCTngxRcuyzreWCl1ttRiax8n7Yt6Bw2u7N5c7KnxXu4oQP4ImUCE8JQ95d9kvidJ2KDUT9YDOMSVsBbn4eFsm4LJFXVKlt_qoP6Ps8g/s640/mfwiceberg.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Iceberg</i> tackles the 70's inspired rock-chic trend for Fall/Winter 2012. Swanky fur coats and tailored blazers were paired with chic leather trousers and cozy knit sweaters. Variegated patterned sequins covered skinny pants, shirts and long-sleeved mini's. While all pieces retained a luxurious edge, they were still wearer-friendly. Models were styled with tousled hairdo's and angled cat-eye sunglasses.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Bottega Veneta</b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyVwafbHD2cdSMtLfbfieupthGOHyB3dIWhf76xKYlxrU2LtUBNKRPM1CezACkhrcT0qrmMQLSRZ5dZ7YjviZnzh_Y0mShxVn-yTMeafoxwE3B6Tuc2NXV1F5KhNXuo2SCM0zY4PubCl4l/s1600/mfwveneta.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyVwafbHD2cdSMtLfbfieupthGOHyB3dIWhf76xKYlxrU2LtUBNKRPM1CezACkhrcT0qrmMQLSRZ5dZ7YjviZnzh_Y0mShxVn-yTMeafoxwE3B6Tuc2NXV1F5KhNXuo2SCM0zY4PubCl4l/s640/mfwveneta.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Bottega Veneta</i> proposed a sultry elegance for next season, with ladylike shapes adorned by shredded chiffon and peplum waists in midnight blue, ebony and plum. Pencil skirts and fitted dresses fell just over the knee, seen in rich velvets and decked with jewels. Designer Tomas Maier dispersed a few abstract prints through his collection, along with tailored coats and cropped trousers. Skinny belts, statement brooches, long leather gloves and ankle strap heels with socks accessorized the ensembles. </span></div><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Versace</b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilP6_Fvijc5OBpysd_Rd9WogKZJ66avD4XguWbBZeAtkbp3uqLES43KASHxXrpff4dt0fvbH5Vggut7TI53BDlPYhuBPszv-i_WNu0iQexBiB8s6yqV_tDHK5B3tc4GYGMIIzld1ZwiOJI/s1600/mfwvers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilP6_Fvijc5OBpysd_Rd9WogKZJ66avD4XguWbBZeAtkbp3uqLES43KASHxXrpff4dt0fvbH5Vggut7TI53BDlPYhuBPszv-i_WNu0iQexBiB8s6yqV_tDHK5B3tc4GYGMIIzld1ZwiOJI/s640/mfwvers.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Versace</i> took a glam-goth warrior approach for the upcoming winter, with a side of cross-baring dresses and Lisbeth Salander.

Who Wore Gucci Better?

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">Who Wore the Gucci Front-Knot Dress Better?<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /><br /></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"></span></span></span></b></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today's fashion face-off is between young royal Charlotte Casiraghi of Monaco and Spanish TV presenter, Sara Carbonero. You may recognize Sara as the longtime girlfriend of Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas. Both brunettes wore the same satin front-knot dress from Gucci's Spring/Summer 2011 line. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"></span></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Charlotte wore the dress at the 'Il Mondo Vi Appartiene' dinner in Venice last night, while Sara wore hers in February at the TP Oro Awards in Madrid. This statement dress features a violet long-sleeved knotted top, gold tasseled belt and burnt orange skirt.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"></span></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga8YiiwgjjAORfFXe0byF_Szz3Iz12iYKMevlCWbBAAhgrY0gytSl0C2Eeru7nKRc5ul6nB49kDEoqiAMMx8OqnOuS_Lc2JmdWTLLpX1adUmjqDmVLKNIV93XHHZJXHlYl4wq_GBQxbns/s1600/gucci+dress.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga8YiiwgjjAORfFXe0byF_Szz3Iz12iYKMevlCWbBAAhgrY0gytSl0C2Eeru7nKRc5ul6nB49kDEoqiAMMx8OqnOuS_Lc2JmdWTLLpX1adUmjqDmVLKNIV93XHHZJXHlYl4wq_GBQxbns/s640/gucci+dress.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Charlotte wore the dress with strappy gold 'Malika' sandals by Gucci. The top part of the dress isn't fitting her well. Something's missing - it could have done with some drop earrings and a looser hairdo. On the runway, the dress was modeled by Joan Smalls and worn with Gucci 'Kelis' ankle strap sandals. Sara Carbonero (pictured right) looks vivacious in the dress, which she paired with the same sandals as the runway. The cutouts on her dress are much smaller compared to the other looks.</span></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLQZa9NNHkP01o7k707EGbze215n53MzCCBR9AdWn2Ik87jhVVaFNKgVgNrOMaALF4Y-YqXnSOwkt9hYEDCXK82LrIS7K2lv8B8atG-vq0He9M7Z653Jsj270kaQocTwi88qr9U99Gkvs/s1600/gucci.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLQZa9NNHkP01o7k707EGbze215n53MzCCBR9AdWn2Ik87jhVVaFNKgVgNrOMaALF4Y-YqXnSOwkt9hYEDCXK82LrIS7K2lv8B8atG-vq0He9M7Z653Jsj270kaQocTwi88qr9U99Gkvs/s640/gucci.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /><div style="text-align: auto;"><br /><br /><div style="text-align: auto;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The same dress was also seen in various fashion magazines. Dutch model Lara Stone wore it for the February 2011 cover of French <i>Vogue</i>. Oscar nominated actress Jennifer lawrence looked lovely in the dress for <i>Flare</i> magazine's June 2011 issue. January Jones donned the dress for the May 2011 edition of <i>Marie Claire UK.</i></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: auto;"><i><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;">I think Jennifer and Sara wear this dress best because they have the curves to fill it. </span></div></i></div></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: auto;"><i><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;">What do you think?</span></div></i></div></span></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span></div>
