Hit or Miss: Zoë Saldana

We are huge fans of Zoë’s style – this lady rarely gets it wrong. But this time, we aren’t sure. She wore this exquisite Balmain Resort 2012 dress to the première of her latest film, Colombiana, earlier this week. The intricate handiwork that went into this dress justifies its outrageous price tag.

But this time, we are shocked to say, we give Zoë nil points. The dress showed on the catwalk didn’t have all the superfluous white material and that’s the version we prefer.

To add insult to injury, Zoë's black shoes don't belong with this outfit - nude, white or gold would have been so much better.

What do you think of Zoë's dress? Creative genius or creative excess?

Hit or Miss: Rihanna

Rihanna was at House of Fraser on Oxford Street today to unleash her fragrance Reb’l Fleur on the UK market (good timing, what with Xmas fast approaching).

She wore an Antonio Berardi top and trousers with nude Christian Louboutin pumps.

The NY times said she looked like she was wearing Sesame Street’s Rosita (ouch!) and we think they may have a point.

There’s a lot of fluffiness going on with that top. We also think slim fitting pants would have been more flattering.

What do you think – did RiRi get it right or wrong?

Hit or Miss: Kelly Rowland

Kelly was at the O2 Arena in London yesterday for the press launch of The X Factor. She wore an Autumn/Winter 2011 Versace wave print dress with Giuseppe Zanotti wedge boots.

We think the boots are teeny bit heavy for the outfit but the dress is very flattering – see how the strategically placed wave makes her already tiny waist look even smaller? Take a note ladies!

Do you agree?

Hit or Miss: Kelly Rowland

Poor old Kel has felt the force of the British press this week after turning up at the X Factor auditions in Liverpool looking like she fell over in Selfridges and random designer items stuck to her.

She wore a Vivienne Westwood blazer, Sass & Bide shirt, Stella McCartney shorts, Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, Sass & Bide jewellery and Prada sunglasses. Designer heaven or designer hell?

On their own the pieces look great but together; where is the cohesion we ask?

Have your say:

She makes it work?
It’s not right, but it’s ok?
Try again love?
