Movie Star

The 21st Annual Critics' Choice Awards was held this past Sunday, January 17th, and of course it was an event not to miss. The Critics' Choice Movie Awards is an awards show that's presented annual by the Broadcast Film Critics Association to honor the finest in cinematic achievement, so all of the A list stars were at the event, and competition was fierce... from the awards ceremony to the red carpet.

As usual, our eyes were glued to the red carpet, and there was one gal celebrity that stuck out amongst the rest to us: Kate Beckinsale! Kate has this aura about her where no matter what the movie, event, or situation, she looks classy from head to toe (yes, even when she's a vampire in Underworld, she somehow pulls off that classy look!), and the 2016 Critics Choice Awards was no exception. The celeb rocked a Monique Lhuillier Spring 2016 gown and couldn't have looked more stunning.

Since Kate's dress was a soft silver tone, we loved that she paired her look with dark nails and a smokey eye. It's definitely a perfect winter weather look, but can easily be taken into spring and summer months, too.

Luckily, Kate's Critics Choice Awards 2016 look is one that you can easily steal for prom. Get her glam red carpet look yourself with sequin gown Jasz Couture style 5798. This beautiful shimmery dress features scattered AB crystals, an illusion halter neckline, and a cross cross open back. It's a perfect way to put off those celebrity vibes at prom or any other formal event.  Continue reading →

It's FINALLY almost time to see The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 in theaters, and we couldn't be more excited! The first part of the film finale comes out this Friday November 21st, so more and more sneak peeks are making their way out to the media. The most recent ones come by way of a movie clip and a release of one of Lorde's songs from the official soundtrack!

Let's start with the movie clip! The stars of Mockingjay Part 1 stopped by Good Morning America recently to share the clip and answer some questions from fans. The clip shows Katniss watching Peeta plead with District 13 to stop the war, and Gale does not agree with the course Peeta has seemingly taken. Check out the emotional new teaser, and keep watching to hear all the very important (read: sarcasm!) questions Jennifer answers for her fans!

Now on to the new song release! If you didn't already know, singer/songwriter Lorde curated the whole The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 soundtrack! She didn't only choose what artists and songs go into the soundtrack, but she's added some of her own into the mix, as well! Well, from what we've heard so far, she's done an amazing job with it, and the newest released song proves that even more! Lorde most recently released her cover of Bright Eye's "Ladder Song" from the soundtrack, and we can already tell how perfectly it fits with the theme and tone of the upcoming movie.

It's shaping up to look like an incredible movie, just like the first two films in the series. With the movie out at the end of this week, we're sure there will be many more sneak peeks released in the coming days. We'll keep our eyes out and make sure to share them with you as we see them!

As if I wasn't excited enough to see the first Pitch Perfect, they've decided to come out with Pitch Perfect 2 and I am so excited I can barley contain myself!

So far leading ladies, Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson are the only two girls from the pre-qual to be "officially" signed onto the second movie. And to be honest, those were the two girls I was most looking forward to! Rebel Wilson is HILARIOUS and I love Anna's rebel-chic style.

The entire movie is one huge laugh and it's one of those movies that you talk about with your girlfriends for weeks after you've seen it. My friends and I couldn't stop laughing throughout the movie and found ourselves reciting lines throughout the weeks to follow.

Anna told Us Weekly in an interview, "I'm very excited! I mean I've signed on with no script, so you know, if it becomes about parasailing instead of singing, don't blame me!"

Signing with no script? Wow that's daring. But we have faith! Especially since Elizabeth Banks, who played an announcer at the A Cappella performances (you also may know her as Effie Trinket from the Hunger Games) will be directing the sequel.

Well Elizabeth, we can't wait to see what you got!...

...Or what Rebel and Anna have in store for us!

The 2012 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, which aired this past Tuesday (Nov. 4th)  was as amazing as ever! The performances by Bruno Mars, Rihanna and Justin Bieber were absolutely incredible - you could tell the whole place was full of Bieber Fever!

While we couldn't take our eyes off of Biebs, we were amazed by Rihanna's performance and outfits. We especially loved her Audrey Hepburn inspired black gown with pearl glasses and necklace and lace gloves. That's why we picked Faviana Style 6428 as this week's Dress of the Week. We love the classic black gown, of course with a little sexiness added in with a slit down the side and a sweetheart neckline!

This strapless evening gown has tightly ruched fabric across the bust and bodice. The skirt has a slight flair, and the back reveals a flyaway detail of chiffon for a whimsical touch to this classic evening gown. Best yet, it comes in 8 different colors - black, forest green, ivory, navy, plum, red, royal, & Tiffany blue. Just add some pearls to which ever color you choose and you'll look like a star!

You definitely can never go wrong with the classic Audrey Hepburn look, whether it's on the runway or at prom.

 

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!

The Los Angeles premiere of "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" was this past Monday, November 12th, and the stars of the Twilight series looked as stunning as ever on the red carpet.
