I’m not an American citizen and therefore am not allowed to vote (unfortunately), but since the presidential campaign draws a lot of international attention and is crucial not only to the USA but to the whole world, I’ve got all excited about creating an adequate red, white and blue outfit I’d love to wear on election day which is on November 4th, 2008 in case you didn’t know!

I had so much fun doing this outfit. Here are the details:

• BLAZER: Chris Benz Silk box jacket, $875
• DRESS: Rachel Gilbert Talika embellished dress, $895
• CLUTCH: Jimmy Choo Tube patent clutch, $980
• SHOES: Chloé Raised leaf boots, $1.495
• ACCESSORIES: Roberto Cavalli Star resin bangle, $505
• LIPS: Dior Rouge Replenishing Lipcolor, $27
• NAILS: Sephora Nail Polish, $9
• PERFUME: Thierry Mugler Angel, $72

So, what are you going to wear on election day? Will you be wearing the patriotic colors I have chosen, will you step up to the ballot box in Jackie O style or will you give way to your pacifist nature and silently rebel against war by fishing a cool retro peace shirt out of your closet? Let me know, I’m eager to have a look at your outfits.

P.S.: If you happen to be an American being able to VOTE, GO and make a choice! VOTE VOTE VOTE!

Hayden Panettiere in a white Monique Lhuillier Spring 2007 Dress at the 64th Annual Golden Globe Awards in January 2007.

You might think I’m totally crazy for white gowns, but I just couldn’t resist choosing Hayden Panettiere’s beautiful white Grecian-inspired empire waist dress as our next Red Carpet Gold Star.

Hayden wore a Monique Lhuillier Spring 2007 simple but elegant white strapless column dress. The metallic belt below the bust line was the only fancy detail.

The “Heroes“-star was glowing with happiness and reminded me of a Greek siren who enchanted us with her impeccable head-to-toe look. Oh, and did I mention how much I LOVE, LOVE her hair here? Or her gorgeous emerald drop earrings? To die for. ♥ ♥ ♥

I know it’s been really quiet here lately. We’ve been doing a lot of offline stuff, but we never forgot about our fashion blog baby, so this post will be the birth of a new category here on Profashionelle: the Red Carpet Gold Star. An award given to those who managed to stand out on the red carpet, making us remember their dresses & appearances even after years.

Such is what British actress Keira Knightley managed to do when she stunned everyone in a beautiful white sleek column Valentino dress and a pair of amazing vintage Cartier earrings to the 63rd Golden Globe Awards in 2006. And frankly, isn’t this dress one of the most beautiful dresses you’ve ever seen? I happen to think so and love everything about it (shape, color and the gorgeous flower-shaped belt, of course).

This dress is one of my favourite red carpet pieces of all time. But it’s not just the dress that’s close to heavenly perfection - it’s Keira wearing it with such grace and elegance. She just oozes glamour. Dress, hair, make up, accessoires - she’s a perfect ten here. Oh my God, I could be staring at these pictures for hours.

P.S.: If you’re looking for a look-for-less alternative to Keira’s Valentino dress, there’s an affordable copycat version availabe over at FAVIANA. Nowhere near the original, but a good choice for fashionistas on a budget.

From left to right:

• K Karl Lagerfeld White Victoria Blouse, $400
• ASOS Black Sexy Clubby Mini Short, $50
• Nancy Gonzalez Large Framed Croc Satchel, $3.650
• Gucci Newton High Heel Bootie, $840 (Pre-Order)

Some say monochrome is one of the hottest trends for 2008, but I say: monochrome is hot EVERY season and it will never ever go out of style. Sure, it might not be the most daring trend, but it’s a classic for a reason.

To all the hardcore fashionistas out there, add white ruffle socks and a black satin top hat to give the look the icing on the cake. But remember: You gotta be brave and confident to rock these accessoires.

• White Sheer Ruffle Socks, $3.99
• Black Satin Top Hat, $225.95
