The Movie Star and Me: Blue Illusion Juliette Binoche

Sponsored by Blue Illusion

I’ve got used to this Model and Me business on a Monday but when Blue Illusion asked me to consider showcasing one of the frocks its ambassador and actress Juliette Binoche is wearing in its new-season catalogue, I was a little hesitant.

I mean. JULIETTE BINOCHE.

She’s beautiful, elegant and the epitome of French style.

I’m always up for a challenge.

Who says an Aussie girl of a certain age can’t offer up a little je ne sais quoi in a gorgeous silk frock?

And so I present you with … The Movie Star and Me.

The dress I’m featuring today is from Blue Illusion’s current spring collection. It’s the kind of dress that can take you anywhere.

For me, when buying a frock like this it’s essential that I can see it being suitable for a multitude of occasions.

It may start its wardrobe life as an occasion dress – a spring wedding or an afternoon at the races – but it can then be worn as a work outfit with a blazer or dressed down with slimline pants.

Blue Illusion graphic print silk dress $249.95

I’m very excited to be the face of Blue Illusion, a brand that represents independence, real women and beautiful clothes with a true love of everything French - Academy Award winner Juliette Binoche

and me

Blue Illusion graphic print silk dress $249.95 (I’m wearing size M) | Blue Illusion Pearly Whites necklace $79.95

The print in this dress is the feature and for a special occasion I would not want to compete to much with that … except perhaps by adding a little bling. Because bling is always a good idea, yes?

It comes with its own stretch slip and the stretch in the silk makes it super comfortable to wear. Elegance and comfort is a winning combination when it comes to special occasion wear. You want to feel as good as you look, I say.

I love the way that the design creates shape and drops from under the bust into a soft a-line skirt. This is the best kind of waistline for me as I have a short waist and this style works to elongate that.

The neckline is super flattering. The soft v-neck works equally as well without a necklace as with.

Blue Illusion zip ponti blazer (I’m wearing size M) $199.95

The addition of a blazer changes the look of this outfit, making it perfect for the office. It’s exactly why blazers are very much my wardrobe friends. This blazer has a fabulous cut and structure to its design. The fact that it’s made from a stretch viscose means that it is extremely comfortable.

Blue Illusion long slim pull-on pants (I’m wearing size L) $109.99

Dressing down this dress is super easy. Simply knot one size of the dress to shorten it and slip on a pair of slim-leg pants or dark jeans. Pop on some flat sandals or ballet flats and you’re set for a weekend catch-up with girlfriends.
