Carpet Fashion: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2

Last nights  "red carpet"  for the premiere of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 at the  Nokia Theatre was a designer affair and in keeping with the theme of the movie -  they had a black carpet.

Kristen Stewart drew lots of attention in a nude, strapless Zuhair Murad gown that featured lace and chiffon paneling and a corseted bodice.

Even though Kristens dress a very nice choice for the typical red carpet pose, it takes on a "unfinished" look from other angles -  like in this photo where she is leaning over to pose with fans.

Maybe its those sheer panels - the don't seem to be very strategically placed to fit her figure which results in odd layers of lace, flesh and underwear. The lines just don't work and to me it ends up looking like a mistake.




Elizabeth Reaser wore a sky-blue Carolina Herrera Spring 2012 gown with asymmetrical folded details around the neckline and waist. A very classy choice for walking the carpet.

Taylor Lautner arrived as usual wearing a suit.
This one a gray two-button, notch-lapel suit by Z Zegna with a pale gray shirt and dotted gray tie.



Ashley Greene is quite often seen wearing DKNY and  she did not dissapoint in a Donna Karan Atelier gown paired with Bulgari jewelry.

Nikki Reed chose a sexy strapless dove grey corset gown by Versace with chain-mesh embellished contouring. Very similar to one seen on the runway during the Fall 2012 Ready-to-Wear show.
She wore her hair up in a chignon, to show off her earrings from Amrapali. Nikki also wore one of their rings.  Her clutch was a metallic “Dardanella” croc box by Judith Leiber. A very sharp outfit indeed.

No one seemed to recognize Dakota Fanning when she first arrived looking all grown-up in Elie Saab. Maybe it was her new dark hair color that was throwing everybody off.







 



Dakotas younger sister, Elle Fanning chose Prada for the evening. Her dress is from the Spring 2013 Ready to Wear Collection. But it wasn't her dress that was getting all the attention - it was her Prada shoes. A similar pair was shown in the Prada spring 2012 collection, but these seem to be made to go with this dress.

I dont know who the designer is for the outfit
 Amadou Ly wore but I think he looks quite handsome wearing it.

And finally, we'd hate to leave 
out reporter Shaun Robinson. 
Not so much for the outfit -
but for the theme appropriate contact lenses.
