Sartorial Compass: Julianne Moore, Designer Darling

With fiery red hair and a role in a Tom Ford directed film, it's no surprise that Julianne Moore is tapped by some of the worlds most renowned designers to sport their gear all over town {or the world}.   Lanvin is a favorite of hers, and for that alone I adore her.  Tom Ford even asked her to model in his extremely intimate design re-debut back in 2010.  

Black, on black, on black.

She is the definition of striking.

Sartorial Compass: Julianne Moore, Black, White & Green All Over

In today's installment of Sartorial Compass, Julianne Moore shows us what a few classic silhouettes and a couple of pops of green can do.  And green can do a lot when you're hair is the most perfect shade of red.  Her hair is literally PERFECT.

Absolutely in love with the McQueen look in the center.  So good.

Wearing Tom Ford on the left, she STUNS in green.  

She knows how to rock a suit, and looks divine in dresses of all kinds.  She is 52.  She is truly a woman who has embraced all of her freckles, and the hair that she was born blessed with.  

Oscar for Best Dressed...

Quality is absolutely better than quantity.  That's why I couldn't have been more thrilled with the four dresses that wowed me {out of how many?} at Sunday's Academy Awards.  

 Michelle looked divine in this Louis Vuitton, the peplum, the texture, the color!  It was all quite perfect, I was so relieved since her other dresses had been nice, but not stunning.  This dress also reminded me of the red Louis Vuitton that Zoe Saldana wore a couple of awards seasons ago.

 Emma Stone of all people is one we should call on to pull off a massive neck-bow.  She looks gorgeous in this deep pink Giambattista Valli dress, my only qualm with this look was when you saw an up close of her makeup, her eyeshadow was pink...but that's besides the point...best dressed!

 IN LOVE with Rooney Mara in this Givenchy.  The perfect antidote to her dark tresses, and even darker role.

Shailene Woodley looked effortlessly perfect in Valentino Couture.  I love how unexpected it is, a girl under 21 who isn't wearing a sparkly ball gown?!

Of course the evening's honorable mentions are as follows...

Jessica Chastain in Alexander McQueen, Kristen Wiig in J. Mendel, Gwyneth Paltrow in Tom Ford, and last but not least the coolest girl "who runs the world," as Beyonce would say, Meryl Streep in Lanvin!

Sartorial Compass: Drew Barrymore, Bold & Beautiful

I know it's not Sunday but I couldn't resist posting this edition of Sartorial compass.  A few of my favorite Drew Barrymore looks happen when solids and color blocking are on the brain.  Bright hues and bold design is the name of the game in the looks below.

 in Victoria Beckham

 Jil Sander - Truly gorgeous and one of her best all time looks by far.

She shows how much of a chameleon she is going from totally classic in the purple sheath, and then jazzing it up in shocking orange.  Bonus photos below are from bold photo shoot that she did with Neiman Marcus this year...
