Looking stunning as always here's Emily Blunt giving you a serious dose of old-school glamour.

Marion Cotillard in Zuhair Murad at Critics' Choice Awards 2013 Red Carpet

I love Marion’s hair and make-up. At last somebody who's not boring and still stunning. I’m not that crazy about her unusual dress but very beautiful she always has such a great sense of style. Marion is a beautiful person inside and out Va y Marion, la France est derrière toi!

How femme does French film star Marion Cotillard look in this floral frock? The heavily embellished, prom-style dress comes courtesy of Zuhair Murad Autumn/Winter 2012 couture collection. The petal applique adds a textural element to the full-skirted number while the cut-out back shows just the right amount of skin. Nude t-bar sandals and a patent fold over clutch are her only add-on.

When I saw Marion Cotillard on the red carpet this evening for the 2013 Critics’ Choice Movie Awards held at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California, my first reaction was, “the spell is broken”. Childish I know, but I’m excited to finally see her in something other than Dior and especially Zuhair Murad Couture.

Her Fall 2012 black lace A-line dress featuring floral beaded appliqué and an open back is the most playful I’ve seen Marion in a long time. I’m sure you will agree that her spark, that many of us were missing, is finally back. As you would expect from Marion, her styling was impeccable with nude accessories including Jimmy Choo ‘Tahi’ sandals plus she dazzled in Chopard jewels. A side parted bun and neutral makeup completed her look. Needless to say she is my favorite so far.

Ji Dan Xu - China's Beauty Queen and Top Model

I think she is the most beautiful one in the all ，the Chinese girl shows her Intriguing elegance ，and also have good temperament . she has the prefect appearance to do some kind of charities A very pleasant surprise for me from China!

She might be facially behind Luo Zilin (Miss Universe China 2011) but her elegance and finesse is superb. What sealed her placement was her preliminary performance which was just the right amount needed to overcome the first cut.

 

Miss China’s stunning dress honors the Ching dynasty with its embroidered lotus flowers and dragons.

Ji Dan Xu grew up in JiLin Province where she was raised by her grandmother and 11 cousins. She has been dancing since the age of 6, with a special love for the Flamenco form. She’s played piano since the age of 3 and has competed on a national level. Ji Dan Xu loves traveling, baking, and women’s fashion. One day she hopes to have her own fashion brand.

I see Ji Dan Xu as a tall woman with a touch of elegance with finesse. Love Zilin last year? Well, China will not sit down and let the momentum ever slow down. Diana will be polished, repackaged and shipped to Miss Universe with a seal of quality.

Tereza Chlebovská - Top Model and Beauty Queen

In some angles she reminds me of Malika Menard! there's something to her that I like, maybe her cheekbones and eyes that make her charismatic anyway, I like her I hope she will improve into a real stunner.

Tereza Chlebovská‘s passions in life involve music. She enjoys dancing, playing the piano, and used to sing. Tereza also likes to play volleyball and other sports with her family. Tereza attended the University Ostrava, where she studied Music and Health. One day she hopes to achieve her dreams of becoming a TV personality, singer, or top model.

 

I'm starting to like Ceska earth also. statuesque and a blond goddess. She must maintain that kind of hairstyle, it's more suitable to her beauty. She is a good top 15 contender not favorite for the crown but will surely get a place in the top 15, very photogenic , consistent and charming ! that is what we are looking for.

Her attitude Is very rare to see an European girl in Miss Universe with that kind of charisma! I love how sexy she could be without being vulgar or looking tacky. I watched the final, she was good, but did not outshine. I thought she deserved her victory, but the crown could have gone just as easily to either Linda or the girl who was 1 RU just as easily and no one would have even coughed.

I do, I think she is pretty and lovely etc. but she is not so supreme that all others must just fold up their dreams right now. I think for example that she is not even in the same league as previous Czech representative like Jitka, Iveta and the girl in 2008 forget her name.

America's Next Top Model Cycle 19 winner:Laura James

Out of three beautiful young ladies,Laura James emerge as the winner of Americas next top model cycle 19.This 22 year-old country girl is all set to begin her modeling career, having beat out finalists Leila Goldkuhl (who won 3rd place) and Kiara Belen (runner-up) in the race to the finish.

I never really expected Laura to win because I'm a fan of Leila Goldkuhl,but when Leila became surprisingly and unexpectedly eliminated,I turned all my hopes of winning to laura.Even though Kiara belen is also a top competition Laura's fierce smize(as tyra banks always say)out shine her.
