LOVE: Kristen Stewart Wears Old Chanel to the BAFTAs (but we love it)
Kristen Stewart wore a beautiful Chanel dress from the Spring 2009 couture collection to the BAFTAs:
^The shoes are Roger Vivier platform sandals in white satin. Great choice.

Below is the dress as it appeared on the runway:

Kristen seems to have a thing for short, strapless Chanel dresses. She wore a black one from the Fall 2008 RTW collection for the Twilight Vanity Fair Shoot:

The funny thing is that this is the second time this week that Kristen has worn a dress from a past season. Both the Chanel dress she wore to the BAFTAs, and the Azzaro dress she wore to the premier of “The Yellow Handkerchief” are not old enough to be considered vintage, yet not recent enough to be considered…well, current. Both dresses are beautiful, but technically a little out of date. Personally, I don’t mind. If it looks good, wear it.

There is no question that last night’s color of choice was…well a lack of color I suppose. Nude is definitely in style for spring.
.
Additionally, nude with a little sparkle seems to be the look people are going for.
Most likely, inspiration came from the Miu Miu SS10 runway.

Compare the above with the 2010 Grammy Awards fashion below:

Time for a Paris Couture ’10 post! For the most part I was underwhelmed by what I saw… but here are a few things worth mentioning:

Armani Privé’s collection had a definite cosmic theme. A few pieces were beautiful & fresh. Unfortunately, at times all I could think was “Sailor Moon, is that you?” Not going to lie, it upsets me that I even know who Sailor Moon is.

One of the Givenchy looks had me thinking about the Green Lantern movie that starts filming soon.

And this Chanel look instantly reminded me of the white cape Blair wore in Gossip Girl (The Ex-Files).
