The Universe Collides in a Fashionable Way

May 28th is the date of the crowning for the new Miss Universe but earlier this week in Mexico City, there was a fashion show to showcase the participants in their native dress. What an interesting way to see how each girl brought a bit of her nation and fashion sense to their host city. By no means does this include all girls that participated; however, it does give you a taste of what was shown. I never knew that they did a fashion show but what an interesting concept.



Jewel Garner, Miss Barbados 2007, definitely brought elements of the island into her outfit selection. You can never go wrong with a cute bathing suit and sarong. Of course fresh flowers are a perfect touch as well. I love the use of color and how the flowers tie back into her overall theme - great choice!





Sorangel Matos, Miss Panama 2007, used a variety of feathers and metallic tones to compliment her neutral palate. It's definitely an exotic outfit and one with a lot of elements in it to create the overall look.





Honey Lee, Miss Korea 2007, went with a traditional style of dress. The hat is super cute.





Rachel Smit, Miss USA 2007, brings Sexy Back with a tribute to music and namely Elvis. I love that the guitar has the red, white and blue. Also I love the sunglasses - what a great touch. It's definitely interesting and begs the question that if you were the stylist asked to come up with an outfit that described the USA, what would you envision? I would love to see some posts on this. I am definitely getting my thinking cap on for this one. Post away though and let me know what you would have chosen.





Finally Anna Theresa Licaro, MIss Phillippines 2007, wears an interesting dress that's vibrant in colors and I love the face mask with the plummage on it.

Kevin Hall is a Master at Evening Wear

Kevin Hall has fabulous designs and I am a huge fan of his evening wear due to the use of fabrics and the way he understands the way women want to look and feel when they are out for the night or whatever event that they are attending. Both looks below reflect his style and are worth a second look!





I love the way this dress flows, there is something inspiring and very casual about this dramatic dress. There is something of a Grecian inspired look to this dress that brings out the inner Aphrodite in all of us. I also love the belt that is incorporated into this dress which allows it to be adorned without having additional jewelry with it.



This dress is fabulous because of the color and I love the one shoulder look that it presents! This is another Grecian inspired piece that incorporates the sash as well. This dress is nothing but regal and one that you would definitely stand out no matter who was in the room.
