Glamourous Jessica Alba!


One dress that was (and still is) a favourite of mine is the golden Atelier Versace gown that Jessica Alba wore to the 78th Annual Academy Awards. It is absolutely stunning! There's no other way to say it.

Everything is perfect, from her hairstyle down to her shoes. Want this look? 

It might be easiest if you start with the hair. Click on the following link and follow the basic step-by-step video on how to create that style: ExtraTV.

Once the hair is done, it's time to move to the make-up. I've noticed that Jessica Alba often wears the golden-girl look. 

It consists of, a simple foundation, blush, golden-brown eye shadow, liquid eyeliner and a mocha-coloured lipstick with gloss. For the foundation, you can use True Match (8.99 pounds) by L'Oreal. It makes the skin have a smooth, natural glow.

Then apply a bronzing powder with a brush on the cheekbones. The powder brush from Ruby & Millie (5.00 pounds), is supposed to be the best inexpensive brush line. 

At Superdrug you can find Gosh Quattro Eye Shadow Goldfinger (8.00 pounds) and liquid eyeliner from Collection 2000 Fast Stroke Liquid Eyeliner 1 (2.99 pounds). 

First apply the liquid eyeliner from one side of the eyelid to the other.

Once dry, apply the dark brown eyeshadow and blend the golden shimmer shadow on top of it. 

The  lipstick to use would most likely be Gosh Velvet Touch Lipstick 128 Mocha (6.00 pounds), and then to finish the makeup process, add a clear layer of lipgloss to make your lips shine.

The earrings Jessica Alba is wearing are very similar to 7 1/8 Carat Lemon Quarts and Diamond 14K Yellow Gold Briolette Earrings. 

But because those are pretty pricy, here are some alternatives you might want to look into:

Claire's Accessories, Gem drop earrings

Claire's Accessories, Pearl and Crystal drop earrings.

Monsoon's Accessories, Filigree Flower Teardrop earrings.

Now, for the most important part of the entire look is...the dress. You have two options, either get it made. Print out the picture and ask a tailor to make it for you. Or probably the cheaper way is to find a similar dress. 

Shopdress offers the Jessica Alba dress for (296.00 US dollars) which is about 148 pounds.   

Because the dress is beaded, I'd recommend to wear gold high heels that are more simple as they won't really be seen under the dress. However, a little glitter on them won't hurt.

Sexy Shoes offers a wide range of shoes in different colours. You'll be able to surf for high heels and check whether they have them in a gold metallic colour.

These shoes are called Enchant 11. I personally think that they'd match really well with the dress.

I guess that's as good as it gets ladies!

Have fun trying to get a Jessica Alba makeover!
