Oscar award winning actress Marion Cotillard has not disappointed fashion critics so far. Her red carpet choices have been well received and seem to have constantly hit the approval mark.

She attended the 2010 Golden Globe Awards last January 17 in a long green gown by Christian Dior and walked her way through the red carpet in some exquisite Jimmy Choo “Drake” Water Snake Sandals.

The green Dior dress was lovely and flattering on her (although I personally didn’t like the lacy slip that peeked out each time her gown’s front skirt parted) but what caught more of my attention were the gladiator sandals on her feet.

17-year old pop star Miley Cyrus has occasionally had her fashion hits and misses, but she definitely wowed us when she attended the 2010 Grammy Awards held last January 31.

She graced the red carpet in a short but stunningly beautiful Herve Leger dress, and finished off the look with a pair of Balenciaga gladiator sandals. She was in fact, named as one of the best dressed celebrities on the red carpet during that event. And we all know that such a praise from fashion critics counts a lot for young celebrities like Miley.

If you want the dress or the shoes, feel free to purchase it from the designers’ stores (if you have the cash to spend) or you can visit the site where Miley will be auctioning off these items to benefit the earthquake victims in Haiti (Ebay.com).

Carey Mulligan’s Organza Strappy Sandals at the Directors Guild of America Awards 2010

Actress Carey Mulligan has been coming out in hit after hit red carpet looks recently and this latest one she wore at the Directors Guild of America Awards last January 30 is definitely another one for the books:

I don’t know if it’s the pixie cut, the awkward posture, the cute facial expression or a combination of all of these things, but Carey can pull off these quirky looks which very few actresses can. If Carey continues on with this fashion streak (and continues showcasing her amazing acting skils), people will soon stop calling her as “Shia Le Beouf’s girlfriend” and start referencing the accolades she’ll be raking in in the future.

In the picture above, Carey Mulligan is wearing a one-shoulder dress from the Lanvin Spring 2010 RTW Collection and Gianvito Rossi Organza Ankle Strap Sandals. Check out the close-ups:

It’s details like unfinished edges and foot-embracing shoes that win it for Carey.

You can’t quite see the leather and organza in the picture, so here is a separate product pic of the Gianvito Rossi Organza Ankle Strap Sandals:

Aren’t they just gorgeous? The sheerness, the leather trim, and those black ribbons that thread through metal eyelets really up the sexy factor on these sandals.

Although it’s tempting to search for sheer strappy sandals too, it’s really the construction, the shoe shape, and the straps placement that make these sandals so attractive on Carey. The way the shoe meets at the center lengthens the foot and adds height despite the thickness of the straps. Here are 2 other sandals that seem to embrace the foot too:

Naughty Monkey Close Encounter, on sale, now only $50.99

L.A.M.B. Haru Heel, $379.99

Both of these sandals are available at Heels.com.

Who Wore It Better? Steve Madden Bliz Roman Sandals

Ashley Tisdale Vs. Jessica Stroup

Ashley Tisdale is with her music director boyfriend Scott Speer at the LAX International Airport in this photo dated Nov. 14, 2009.  She shows us how to put together a relaxed yet stylish travel outfit: a black boat neck pocket tee with acid wash jeans, and finish off the look with accessories such as red Ray-Ban wayfarers, a Fendi Zucca Spy bag, and Steven by Steve Madden Bliz roman sandals. Ashley coolly went through security and chilled out with the boyfriend at the departure lounge in this 80s-inspired getup.

Jessica Stroup wears the Steven by Steve Madden Bliz roman sandals as Erin Silver, her character in the TV show 90210. Worn clearly for a scene filmed at the beach, Jessica matches the studded roman sandals with a Marc by Marc Jacobs one piece chevron swimsuit and Current/Elliot trash wash cut off shorts. She carries around a requisite bottle of water to keep cool on that hot summer day.

Each outfit looks great for each occasion, but we have to give it to Ashley Tisdale for this one. Even though she is head to toe in 80s clothes, she manages to make everything look up to date. The roman sandals are a great choice for traveling, as they’re easier to pull on and off than let’s say sneakers or boots. Also, Jessica Stroup’s choice to wear studded roman sandals at the beach is a bit too much – imagine the weird tan lines after an afternoon of wearing them.

So who wore it  better for you? Ashley Tisdale or Jessica Stroup?

Vanessa Hudgens: Fresh-Out-of-Bed Sexy in Gladiator Wedges and Zac Efron’s Shirt

Posted in Cynthia Vincent, Singer22.com, Vanessa Hudgens on January 28th, 2010 by Roselle – Be the first to comment

I have always liked Vanessa Hudgens ever since she came out in High School Musical. A fresh and unique face with a sweet disposition, plus a very hunky boyfriend named Zac Efron, you can’t help but be a fan.

Oftentimes, pictures of her show a sweet girl, but these stills of her (courtesy of Just Jared) totally changed my opinion. She was spotted shopping (obviously in Diesel) wearing only what looked like Zac Efron’s shirt and a pair of gladiator wedges.

Vanessa Hudgens in Cynthia Vincent Twelfth St. Luella Zip Wedge Sandals

The outfit, along with her completely wild but luxurious hair, simply made her look like she just woke up from a satisfying night with Zac and decided to do some early morning shopping, no shower needed. Definitely downright sexy.

The gladiator wedge sandal is the reason why I’m writing this article by the way, so let’s get down to the details. It’s actually a pair by Cynthia Vincent called the Twelfth St. Luella Zip Wedge Sandals. The platform thickness is just right, about an inch, so don’t worry about tripping in these shoes. The wedge heel on the other hand, is at 4 inches, just high enough to make your legs look really sexy as you wear it.

You actually don’t need a stylist to come up with Vanessa Hudgen’s look, just grab your boyfriend’s shirt and wear these sandals. You can buy it at Singer22.com, and you have the option to choose between two colors – Black or Cognac.
