Something of a Style Crush

I have never been one to overly idolize celebrities and sing their praises with every song or film and so on.. but I have just recently found my very own style crush – american actress Emma Stone. I am a great fan of her as an actress. I think I must have first seen her in House Bunny and then fully realised her ability to play serious roles in The Help - from then on I can hardly criticise her performance in any other films I have seen her in. As the Amazing Spider Man 2 premieres went under way I was instantly struck my her appearance. Absolutely flawless and quite literally simply stunning. It was evident that each outfit had been chosen specifically for the premiere at a particular country. Take for example the dark floral Valentino dress she wore in Rome with the pussy cat bow and neat chignon hairstyle. The look reflected the historical elegance of art and architecture so undeniably associated with Italy.

As a redhead I find it hard to take inspiration from women with different colouring from me. As gorgeous as an outfit may be I always have to remember what colours suit my complexion and hair colour. Although I am not sure if Emma Stone is a natural redhead I have loved seeing what colours seem to work with her hair colour. Equally it is so refreshing to see a celebrity embracing her pale skin rather than being covered in orange tan! Her skin looks so flawless and clear. Of course, Stone has not created all these looks on her own – her stylist Petra Flannery has worked colours and proportions wonderfully to ensure the outfit is well balanced. I don’t have any problem with celebrities using stylists, although it is a daunting prospect to, in a way, completely trust what someone else believes will suit you – and of course if it doesn’t work out you get all the criticism!
