Marchesa Fall 2012

If I were to be asked who's my favorite designer, Marchesa is the first thing I'd have in mind. The way Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig works with drapery is just beyond perfection, reminding me so much of ancient Greek goddesses and Asian princesses. The silhouette of their fabrics are picturesque, making every woman in it look graceful with every move. February of this year, Marchesa launched it's fall collection: Resort 2012, working [more] with pastel hues and a little less extravagant accents. According to Emily Holt of Vogue, "it was nice to see them toy with the idea that sometimes less is more" and to that I must agree on. Even not as lavish as their past collections, Chapman and Craig [again] left everyone in awe, with the desire to be dressed by two of the world's best couturiers. Here's who I think will look great, if not perfect, with some of the pieces from Resort (which are also my top five picks).

DRAPED CORAL CHIFFON COLUMN WITH EMBROIDERED DETAIL

Among the collection, this is the piece I loved the most. If this was in black, I'd immediately think of Angelina Jolie. However, when I tried to recall her red carpet fashion, I remembered what she wore for the Ocean's Thirteen premiere two years ago; that yellow Emanuel Ungaro gown is something new.. Something not Angelina, but she worked it. So I guess this would fit her impeccably in spite the pastel shade -- the way it was constructed hugs her body in all corners, and the drapes are perfect for her classy image.

LONG SLEEVE SILVER EMBROIDERED COWLNECK GOWN

Do I need to expound on this? I mean, with a butt like that....

LIGHT EMERALD CHIFFON STRAPLESS DRESS WITH DRAPED BODICE AND
EMBROIDERED SCALLOP DETAIL

We've always known Mila Kunis as a risk taker when it comes to red carpet fashion; from that printed dress at SAG awards to the purple Elie Saab gown during the Oscars -- she's never afraid to try something unsafe.. But not a time she failed in looking fashion forward. Being adventurous, I think this emerald dress fits her and works well with her skin tone and body. And with the same up do in the photo above, all I can envision is her exquisiteness.

ONE SHOULDER LEOPARD ORGANZA FULL-SKIRTED DRESS WITH EMBROIDERED WAIST

Pixie cut or not, Emma Watson is, with no question, one of the most beautiful of the youth today. We all saw her transform from that brouhaha haired Hermione to this matured, full-grown statement maker. I must admit, when she had her hair cut, I had mine fixed, too. Going back, I think this leopard dress fits her perfectly say, for a premiere night for another movie. Very lady-like and matured because of the animal print, but there's a youthful touch to it with the length and cut.

TEAL SILK GAZAR STRAPLESS DRAPED BODICE COLUMN GOWN

And last but not the least, Anne Hathaway. She's the only person I had in mind who looks perfect in this teal gown with a really, really big bow -- resembling most of what she wears during Hollywood events. With her skin tone and the mid-length hair, not to mention her full lips and fulgid smile -- this vision is just divine.
