Director Baz Luhrmann brought his cast from "The Great Gatsby" to Australia for the film's premiere yesterday evening. Baz wore a beautiful white/cream coloured shawl collared tuxedo. When I saw the cropped fit and style, Thom Browne came to mind. Turns out I am not too far off. Brooks Brothers collaborated with the film to produce a capsule collection of elegant dress shirts and suitings, so it seemed natural for the director to return the favour by wearing Brooks Brothers. The Thom Browne designed Black Fleece Brooks Brothers collection generally comes with a tighter and cropped fit, but not as severe as Browne's own collection. Love the tuxedo on Baz Luhrmann, although I wished the sleeves could be a tad longer. (or was it deliberately rolled up to showcase the green cufflinks, possibly from Tiffany & Co.?)

Have you seen "The Great Gatsby" yet? Does it live up to the hype? I'm going to try and watch it soon.

Mark Wright's Orlebar Brown swim shorts

Mark Wright / DailyMail

Mark Wright was pictured in Spain recently soaking up the sunshine in a pair of red Orlebar Brown shorts. Say what you want about reality TV stars, you can't deny how good and smoking hot he looked in the pictures. Mark, who previously appeared in UK's reality TV program "The Only Way Is Essex", wore a pair of "Bulldog" mid length shorts from Orlebar Brown, with their signature silver fasteners on the side. Judging from the pic where he pulled up the shorts to get more sun on the legs, he should have gone for the shorter "Setter" shorts.

Now that summer is arriving (not that you would believe if you are in London), it is time to think about beach wear options. You can shop the Orlebar Brown "Bulldog" shorts online from Orlebar Brown, Mr Porter and Matchesfashion.com.

Ewan McGregor in Belstaff - Los Angeles Street Style

Ewan "Pornstache" McGregor was pictured in Los Angeles yesterday out and about with his bike. Mmm is that for an upcoming film role? The Scottish actor was pictured wearing a leather biker jacket, which I believed to be the Belstaff "Douglas" racing/sports leather jacket. Not exactly sure what to write, as I find the whole look really comical with that pornstache. What do you think?

Miguel in Saint Laurent - 2013 Billboard Music Awards

Miguel and his girlfriend Nazanin Mandi attended the 2013 Billboard Music Awards at the MGM Grand Garden Arena yesterday in Las Vegas. Miguel wore a beautiful tuxedo jacket with contrasting silk/satin lapels from Saint Laurent, over a leopard print shirt also by the same label. He also wore slim fitted Levi's jeans and glitter boots from Saint Laurent. Very cool shades and a customised Sacred Heart necklace completed his look. Nazanin Mandi wore a Saint Laurent leather skirt and silver heels from the same label, with a custom top. 

I think it's safe to say the couple loves Saint Laurent, but they are not the only ones. They joined a recent wave of celebrities who love the debut collection from Hedi Slimane for Saint Laurent. When the Spring Summer 2013 collection first showed, the reaction were pretty mixed. I guess the proof of the pudding is in the eating. The representation on the red carpets and increase in sales figures (up 19% in revenue as compared to last year) say it all.

Miguel ditched the (almost) all black outfit on the red carpet, for an (almost) all white outfit for his performance at the awards ceremony. Miguel wore a very sleek cream/white Saint Laurent jacket with contrasting black leather lapels, over a white shirt from Mugler. Matching white Levi's jeans completed the look. Which look do you prefer: the red carpet or the performance? I prefer the latter.

G-Dragon in Saint Laurent - Hong Kong Press Conference

South Korean artiste G-Dragon held a press conference in Hong Kong last Friday to promote his concert. The performer from South Korea's super group "Big Bang" wore an embroidered jacket from the Hedi Slimane designed Saint Laurent womenswear Spring Summer 2013 collection. The black trim around the jacket is made from little paillettes sewn together. He paired it with leather trousers and glittery Cuban heels also from the same label. Saint Laurent seemed to be his go to label these days, he wore pieces from the upcoming Fall Winter 2013 menswear collection for his press conferences in China and Taiwan recently.

Do we like this look on G-Dragon? I'm a little on the fence about it. I've been staring at the pic for a few minutes but can't really form a decisive yes/no opinion.

I do however love his glittery Cuban heels which gave him added height. You can shop the Saint Laurent boots online from Luisa Via Roma and Farfetch.

Director Michel Hazanavicius's Montblanc "TimeWalker Northern Hemisphere" Timepiece - Cannes Film Festival 2013

Actress Berenice Bejo and husband/director Michel Hazanavicius attended the premiere of 'Le Passe' at the 66th Cannes International Film Festival at the Palais des Festivals over the weekend. The French film director, producer and screenwriter is perhaps best known for his 2011 film, "The Artist", which won the Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Director at last year's Oscars. For the red carpet event, Michel wore a gorgeous blue tuxedo with contrasting lapels and matching bow tie. The director accessorised his look with an equally beautiful Montblanc "TimeWalker Northern Hemisphere" timepiece. The timepiece featured an embossed black calfskin leather strap with blue stitching, which cleverly matched their outfits.

Earlier in the day, Michel Hazanavicius was pictured at the Stars Lounge, and it gave us an opportunity to have a closer look at his timepiece. The silver coloured dial of the "Northern Hemisphere" watch featured the map of our planet as seen from the North pole,  The local time in the zone where the wearer is currently sojourning is shown by the central hands, while the flange around the dial bears the names of 24 cities, each of that represents one of the 24 time zones into which our planet is divided. Hence in one view, one can see the local time and the time in all 24 time zones around the world.

Love the timepiece with such a cool story behind it. And I feel it is versatile enough for both dressy and casual occasions. Very impressed with his choice of sunglasses. Orange frames are not something that is easy to wear, but he pulled off the look so nicely. Very good accessories choices.

Ethan Ruan [阮經天] in Raf Simons - Samsung Galaxy Taiwan Promotions

Promotional appearances in the far east seemed a lot more fun. Taiwanese artistes Ethan Ruan [阮經天] and 小S were pictured in Taipei recently to promote the latest smart phone from Samsung Galaxy. Ethan looked effortlessly stylish in a black blazer and white trousers combo with a Raf Simons t-shirt underneath. The event was cleverly styled, with the blue on Ethan's shirt, matching 小S's micro mini, and of course Samsung's colour of choice. They looked like they had so much fun, love it.

Christian Louboutin and Melita Toscan du Plantier attended the Premiere of 'Le Passe' (The Past) during The 66th Annual Cannes Film Festival at Palais des Festivals in Cannes, France. Christian wore one of my all time favourite shoes: the black felt/suede slippers with golden tassels. The gorgeous shoes were perfect for the red carpet at Cannes. Close up of the shoes showed the tassels were somewhat inspired by India, giving it a very royal and Maharaja feel. Oh I love the shoes so much.
