LuLu Loves - Classic Black Oscars Style


Inspired by Kristen Stewarts old school classic Monique L'Hullier midnight blue dress on the red carpet, here are some of my favourite pieces to complete an ensemble fit for a Hollywood Starlet!

The fishtail shape of the dress is always a classic, and the ruched fabric is flattering for all shapes and sizes. Actually this dress is quite similar to the one I wore from The Dress Boutique collection to the Andover Musical & Operatic Society 2009 Christmas Ball.

I must give Cheryl Cole a mention here, just because I loved the black ball gown style dress wore for the X Factor Finals last year. I've googled it but can't seem to find a definitive answer as to who designed the dress - many have suggested that it was Marc Ross - anyway, I think she looked fantastic.

For accessories, I love these Swarovski wing earrings available from Net-a-Porter at around £80 although Dorothy Perkins has a similar still at a bargain £8!

The Black strappy flower sandals are just £30 from Debenhams, while the Black Corsage Suede Ruffle Shoes are by Steve Madden priced at around £90.

Finally for the ultimate black nail polish it has to be Chanel Darlings!

LuLu Loves - Red Carpet Neutrals!


I'm loving all the beautiful neutral shades on the red carpet at this years Oscars!

Kate Winslet, Anna Kendricks, Cameron Diaz, Demi Moore, Helen Mirren all choose variations on the theme, be it soft pink, gold or shimmering silver for their Oscars gowns.

Kate Winslets simple column dress in a subtle silver tone by Yves St Lauren was a classic and I loved her old-school wavy hair! Cameron Diaz glittered in Oscar de la Renta as did Demi Moore in her buff-coloured Atelier Versace ruffled gown.
Anna Kendricks pale pink chiffon creation by Elie Saab was youthful and elegant, while Dame Helen Mirren in Badgley Mischka dress proved that these neutral hues look good on women of all ages.

For me it was Sandra Bullock, who took home the Best Actress award, who outshone them all in her figure-hugging gown by British label Marchesa. The combination of the shimmering skirt with the embroidered floral bodice was a winner!

On the jewelery front, diamonds and pearls played a big role as ever, with favourites from Tiffany and Chopard.
