Celebrity Fashion

Keira Knightley's newest film, 'Anna Karenina' had its New York premiere at Florence Gould Hall earlier this month (on Nov. 7th). The British actress wore a stunning navy blue long-sleeve lace evening gown on the red carpet.

We loved her classy look with the lace dress and how she kept it simple by wearing a tight bun and only earrings for jewelry. The red lipstick was the perfect touch against the navy gown.

 As we've mentioned in past posts, lace is a very popular trend right now (Kristen Stewart wore lace at the Los Angeles Breaking Dawn 2 premiere). If you'd love to rock a long sleeve lace evening gown just like Keira for your next formal event, the below dresses are great options!

A. Mac Duggal 78704R - A black lace one-shoulder evening gown. The dress features delicate lace and bead designers that travel from the hip to the wrist of the single sheer sleeve. A thigh high slit adds excitement but does not take away from the classy look of the dress.

B. Mac Duggal 85007R - Keep it classic in this A-line style evening dress featuring a voluminous skirt that hits just above the ankle. The exquisite sheer fabric on the top is filled with intricate beaded floral designs that travel down to the three-quarter length sleeves. Perfect for a formal affair.

C. Claudine for Alyce 2242 - Give the lace look new meaning in pink! The dress features 3/4 length sleeves, a mermaid/trumpet skirt, high mandarin collar, and a peek-a-boo back.

The film 'Anna Karenina' also stars Jude Law and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. It is set in late 19th Century Russia high-society and is about Anna, who is an aristocrat that enters into a life-changing affair with Count Vronsky (Jude Law). The story is adapted from Leo Tolstoy's novel of the same name.

Are you excited for the film? None of us here at Rissy Roo's have seen it yet, but we're hoping to soon! Let us know what you thought by leaving a comment below if you've seen it!

Because we have been seeing celebrity after celebrity rocking this dress over the past few weeks, we had to give a special spotlight to Jovani 7757, a short sheer cocktail dress.

Recently, Paris Hilton and Joanna Krupa have been seen rocking the sexy number a few different times. Paris was seen wearing it in Las Vegas while out with River Viipperiin, and was also seen matching Courtney Orynich, Operation Smile Pediatrician, at Courtney's bachelorette party! Joanna posed for a modeling shot in the dress, and also wore it on a recent episode of 'The Real Housewives of Miami!'

The thigh-high dress features a boat neckline and long sleeves, with sparkling jewels scattered all over the translucent fabric. There is definitely no better way of looking like a celebrity than in this captivating dress!

With the holidays on their way (Thanksgiving's only 3 days away...who's getting excited for Black Friday??), this dress couldn't be any more perfect for some New Year's fun. The lavish, sexy look of the dress, along with the stunning jewels, will have you sparkling on a New Year's Eve night out on the town in Jovani style 7757.

Embroidery has been an existing fashion trend for many years, but this intricate design has been evolving lately and really inspiring fashion designers. This fabulous textured look oozes chic and can give a whole new meaning to the term "little black dress."  Whether it's embroidered with beading, lace, or studs, it's a very elegant look that will have you standing out from the crowd at any event you attend.

This trend has really taken off in the celebrity world, too, with the trend being seen all over the red carpet. Supermodel Alessandra Ambrioso and singer Ashanti rocked two of our favorite embroidered dresses - check them out below!

Last Thursday was country music's biggest night of the year - the 2012 Country Music Association Awards! Some of the biggest stars looked stunning as ever on the red carpet this year at the event. What were they wearing? Jovani, of course! And, not just any Jovani dress - the stars were wearing the newest styles from Jovani's upcoming 2013 collection.

We loved how Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, and Katie Armiger looked at the CMAs; they rocked the event like none other in their Jovani gowns. Carrie did a wonderful job hosting the entire event with Brad Paisley. Our favorite part of the show was when the two of them broke out a Gagnam style routine - it was hilarious! Carrie looked stunning the whole time in her beaded Jovani short dress. Miranda won Song of the Year and Female Vocalist of the Year in Jovani's newest evening design. She even got to accept her Song of the Year award with her husband, Blake Shelton! Katie took old Hollywood glamour to a new level with a green ombre jersey dress. We thought it matched perfectly with her new fiery locks.

Check out some pictures from the event below:

Carrie Underwood & Brad Paisley rock out to the YouTube sensation Gangnam Style.

Miranda Lambert & Husband Blake Shelton, judge/mentor on the hit show The Voice, looked amazing together as they accepted Song of the Year for their song “Over You.”

Katie Armiger looked glamorous in a Jovani jersey gown from their Party Dress Collection.

We LOVED all of the new Jovani looks and cannot wait to get them at Rissy Roo's! We'll make sure to update everyone once they are available! Or, if you're too anxious to wait, the Jovani 2012 styles are just as gorgeous!

Katy Perry’s new concert documentary, Part of Me, hits theaters nationwide today.  The 3D movie chronicles the pop singer’s life on and off-stage throughout her last world tour.  People magazine reports, “In the film, Perry opens up about her split from Russell Brand at the end of last year.”  Although celebrities are always in the media, it’s not often that their true personal stories are able to be shared.  In Katy Perry: Part of Me, fans will be able to identify with the singer, as a person who is not only a superstar, but just like them.

Perry has said, “It’s important to be relatable and normal.”  Although she loves creating out-of-this-world outfits and over-the-top dresses, she still wants everyone to know that she is a regular person too.  Some of the footage in her new film is hard for the singer to watch, since she remembers the rough time she was going through while breaking up with Brand.  She invites audiences to “be a part of her” as they watch the movie and get to see a bit of what her life is really like.

Known for her array of fashion styles, from ‘60s pin-up girl to classic Hollywood glitz, Katy Perry always dresses to impress.  She loves bright, flashy colors, and fun patterns.  In music videos, or on stage, her outfits are always sexy, playful, and a bit theatrical.  These unique dresses are some of our favorite styles that totally capture Katy Perry’s look.
