Olivia Wilde looked absolutely spectacular at the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards last year. The House actress wore a stunning floor-length gown by Reem Acra from his Spring 2008 collection. The ivory chiffon and satin dress had a twisted sweetheart neckline and beautiful beaded cap sleeves. Olivia’s perfect red carpet look impressed me so much it made my Best of 2008 – Red Carpet Gowns list which I published earlier this year.

Jessica Szohr was filming Gossip Girl with Ed Westwick yesterday where the actress was wearing the same romantic Reem Acra gown. Jessica’s styling instantly made me think of 40s glam as her hair was styled in an elegant retro updo. Bold red lips completed her glamourous look.

This fashion faceoff is pretty easy for me. While I think it’s impossible NOT to look amazing in this breathtaking dress, I definitely prefer Olivia in it. She was oozing perfection and you could see she had a great time showing herself off in this beautiful gown. Jessica’s antiquated updo and the heavy diamond earrings just didn’t cut it for me. What do you think?

Reem Acra Spring 2008

Reem Acra Spring 2008

For Spring 2009 Bebe was heavily “inspired” by Balmain. For their latest Fall collection they took inspiration from the darkest creatures to roam the shadows: VAMPIRES! Ever since Twilight has become the next Harry Potter phenomenon letting teenagers faint by the dozen, it is utterly impossible to NOT stumble upon vampires EVERYWHERE.

There are vampire books, vampire movies and a whole lot of vampire merchandise. And thanks to Bebe you can now dress like your favorite vampire. The trend has finally pushed its way into the fashion world.

Bebe’s Fall 2009 lookbook features a dark and moody setting. The color palette is mostly limited to black and the clothes give off this distinct romantic gothic vibe with victorian details like lace, embroideries, hair pieces, frills, ruffles and beaded necklaces.

BTW: I wanted to know what the fuzz is all about and watched Twilight last week. And while I realize that this film is rather targeted at a teenage audience I really had to pause it once in a while to laugh out loud because the majority of the dialogues were beyond gaudy. Too sticky & sweet.

When going out on Valentine’s Day, choosing the right outfit can be tough. I feel your pain, girls. That’s why I’ve come up with this guide on what to wear on this special occasion. This time I’ll show you how you can dress up romantic AND sexy. Enjoy!

This must be the cutest Valentine’s Day dress EVER! I am so in love with it.
