Who Wore Roland Mouret Better?

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Who Wore It Better?</b></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Roland Mouret Spring 2012 <i>Herbert</i> Dress</b></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">French designer Roland Mouret is well known for his curve-hugging dresses with impeccable pencil skirts that flatter the female form. It's no wonder that five different celebrities picked out the exact same dress from his Spring 2012 collection. The colour-block dress features an ivory crepe wool off-the-shoulder top with folded neckline and nude grosgrain straps, a black tie-up belt and red plissé pencil skirt.</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2zWEXvQVqqK1368JwRE0CokfXCxmSe4bN4Jz4oTOsVL2t1jYoeRqDbezEH6-cU6jXsqlyVOmc6s06-kRdc6GkFA2rM9YmcgfhbTDRv_HQd9w7tG5JMXC4gFtCPzptXn4P52kepLsDWkZs/s1600/whoworeitbetter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="384" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2zWEXvQVqqK1368JwRE0CokfXCxmSe4bN4Jz4oTOsVL2t1jYoeRqDbezEH6-cU6jXsqlyVOmc6s06-kRdc6GkFA2rM9YmcgfhbTDRv_HQd9w7tG5JMXC4gFtCPzptXn4P52kepLsDWkZs/s640/whoworeitbetter.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. The first to put on the dress was <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Amy Adams</span></b> back in November 2011. The red-haired actress looked graceful with side swept hair, opting to tie the belt to the back. She added the illusion of length with nude <i>Jimmy Choo</i> 'Anouk' pumps, which also complimented the straps.</span><br /><br /><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. Lifetime host <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Amanda de Cadenet</span></b> wore the 'Herbert' dress in April 2012 for an <i>InStyle</i> event. Changing it up a bit, Amanda's dress had black shoulder straps. She stepped out in a pair of three bow-strapped 'Miss Butterfly' sandals by <i>Christian Louboutin</i>. I don't think this dress was the right fit for her.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. Canadian actress <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Sarah Gadon</span></b> wore the fitted frock for the 'Cosmopolis' photocall in Cannes during May of this year. The petite actress kept it simple with black peep-toe sandals, messy waves and a gold cuff. The dress is slightly looser on her.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4. 58-year-old actress <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Christie Brinkley </span></b>proved that she looks just as good as any 25-year-old in the shapely dress. She chose this look for the Broadway Beacon Awards held in early June 2012. Seventies style hair and bold orange sandals complete her outfit.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5. Finally, the Mouret dress had another showing at the movie premiere of 'Ted' last month. Model <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Rhea Durham</span></b> (the wife of Mark Wahlberg) looked stunning in the color-block frock, she dressed it up with a black clutch and satin and lace slingbacks by <i>Christian Louboutin</i>.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1iutcNGqQmQfaVtZQdpBAHreppJYXWxXctfpHS4XM4DbKDe3PgVAPPRa5n-R6X0oSzXzW9uE7BWz-bUZocleaiVzdvGDumf88k_unTr0037bxQIDqnvGY6tmGRZGBkXlEMXUs-YvIIALo/s1600/roland+mouret.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1iutcNGqQmQfaVtZQdpBAHreppJYXWxXctfpHS4XM4DbKDe3PgVAPPRa5n-R6X0oSzXzW9uE7BWz-bUZocleaiVzdvGDumf88k_unTr0037bxQIDqnvGY6tmGRZGBkXlEMXUs-YvIIALo/s1600/roland+mouret.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Polish beauty <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Jac Jagaciak</span></b> modeled the popular dress for Roland Mouret's Spring 2012 show. It was paired with chunky wooden platform sandals on the runway.</span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As for Who Who It Better...I am wavering between the elegant Amy Adams and lovely Rhea Durham. Amy's choice of nude heel was spot on and Rhea gave it that glamourous model touch. What are your thoughts? </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span></div>

Monique Lhuillier Resort 2013

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Monique Lhuillier has refined the art of the feminine dress. Demure lengths and modest necklines, the leaned-in waistline that delicately creates an hourglass shape, and the invariable presence of a draped mermaid skirt. She makes clothes that we would want to wear; its glamourous yet grounded, hits all the right curves and make a bold style statement without being overdone. </span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's this selective simplicity she brings to her Resort 2013 collection, which takes a stride on the bright and printed side. A Crayola-box of colourful cocktail and evening wear garner attention in acid green, fuchsia, lucent yellow and tangerine. The range is gingered up by abstract floral and paint splatter prints, accentuted by wide leather belts. Monochromatic, empire waist evening gowns are strapless and sophisticated in scalloped lace, and chiffon pleat-draped bodices and fluid skirts. This beautiful collection will surely inspire a new neon bridesmaid trend and be a hit on the summertime party scene.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
