The word is certainly out about the fabulous Moon Bear event in June. Joanna, footballer Mark Bickley and chef Simon Bryant are joining forces to make sure this is one event you don’t want to miss! As seen in the center of yesterday’s Adelaide Confidential, this fundraising event Joanna hosts annually will raise money for the endangered Moon Bears in Asia who are rescued from captivity and inhumane practices such as using large catheters to drain their bile and being held in tiny cages where they cannot move an inch. Last years event raised enough money to re-build a special kitchen that was destroyed in the devastating Chinese earthquake a few years ago.
This is also no ordinary fundraiser. Jo and Richard put on a great show with music being provided by the amazing Jazz It Up, Veuve Clicquot champagne being served upon arrival and vegan/vegetarian canapes prepared by Hilton Executive Chef Dennis Leslie. Animals Asia CEO Dr. Jill Robinson will also be there and she is an amazing speaker as well as being an impassioned representative of these beautiful creatures.

As promised, we can’t talk about fashion without paying tribute to those ladies who also looked absolutely flawless in the makeup and hair category at this month’s Met Ball. Although the importance is mostly about what everybody is wearing, we all know that fashion and beauty go hand in hand and there were a select few women who literally made my jaw drop. There were many hair trends of the night, the strangest being the ‘slick back’ that was incorporated with many different types of buns and up-do’s. Gisele Bundchen even rocked a matchy-matchy slick back with husband Tom Brady! Without further adieu, here are my top beauty picks:
Hands down actress Camilla Belle was the most stunning and her dark hair and features really worked in her favor tonight. I loved the ‘old hollywood’ style hair and wine stained lipstick. Typically we see darker lip shades in winter so I was really happy to see this being worn in a warmer season. If anyone could pull it off she could.

Emma Stone’s look was very playful and her crystal hair pin, which I originally thought was a headband, matched the fun and flirty appeal of her red dress with matching crystal appliques. She can do no wrong and is definitely paving her own way when it comes to fashion as I always look forward to see what she will wear.

You don’t have to agree with me but I really loved Mary Kate Olsen’s feline hair and makeup. As soon as I saw her it reminded me of Michelle Pfeiffer in Catwoman….but I loved it! The cat-eye shaped eyeshadow and windswept hair was gorgeous and although I didn’t like her nana style gown she made up for it with beauty points.

Burberry model Rosie Huntington Whiteley has always been beautiful but she looked extra ‘vavoomish’ as she walked the red carpet. Her hair pulled back in a big bun allowed us to see her true beauty and the emphasis with her makeup was definitely a focus on the eyes with a soft bronze shadow.

Diane Kruger has always been one of my favorite style influences and she was also one of the few who wore her hair down. I have to give brownie points to Jessica Alba though because her rusted gold colored grecian gown was matched perfectly with an old style pin curl wave that had me thinking of the days of Grace Kelly and Natalie Wood.

The Met Ball is like the equivalent of the Oscars to the fashion industry. This annual event is held yearly by Vogue magazine to benefit the Costume Institute in New York City. Tickets to go to this ‘who’s who’ of the A list go for a measly $25,000 a pop. We better start saving! As this is one of the biggest nights in fashion, there were of course some amazing dresses and women who nailed it from head to toe.
The ‘belle of the ball’ was certainly gorgeous actress Camilla Belle who wore a Ralph Lauren Collection ivory tulle beaded dress with python sandals. Her hair and makeup were absolutely flawless and I loved her wine stained lip!

Jessica Alba looked like a grecian goddess in this burnt gold Michael Kors gown. She was also one of the few who left her hair down but with an elegant pin curl wave.

Beyonce was the last to walk the red carpet and we know understand why. She wanted all the undivided attention of the cameramen to flaunt her rocking post-baby body in this sheer Givenchy dress with a train of purple flowers. Although this look got a bit of criticism, I have to give Miss B props because not to many people could pull this dress off.

Model Joan Smalls challenged the status quo and rocked a studded Balmain mini that I’m going crazy for!

The night was full of fashion stars, crossing celebrity, model and socialite realms. This was my favorite fashion choices and in a few days I’m breaking down my absolute favorite beauty looks. Stay tuned!
We love a reason to get dressed up and party so we were thrilled to attend the Variety SA lunch at the National Wine Centre last week. It was a great event for the team to get together outside of work and let our hair down. Great food and a fabulous fashion parade by Liza Emanuele made the day such fun!
