Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Last look at the Sanremo fashion but sadly it didn't bring anything new to the scene in the final night. Michelle Hunziker wore again Giorgio Armani Privé, like in the first night, and black dominated with the exception of one dress that was kind of nude/rose gold/bronze/whatever color highlighting her boobs.  The other ladies continued with some color; Annalisa in her nude/beige color (one can't say that dress is pretty), Ornella Vanoni continued with class and style wearing the same dress by Antonio Riva every night - tonight in dark blue. Nina Zilli in heer Vivianne Westwood white lace creation was elegant as always while guest star Fiorella Mannoia and Noemi opted for black. The men also had some effort for the final night but it was all black and red with some white - like if they were the only colors in the world judging Sanremo this year - so Fabrizio Moro's green jacket was a welcome sight. The only one feeling a bit spring and light was Lo Stato Social...

  Thank heavens for Michelle Hunziker and Moschino who dressed her last night. That flowerlike dress brought back all the glamour and what Sanremo and fashion used to be. Those stairs, that dress... priceless! That was a pure Sanremo moment! One can expect funny things from Moschino and indeed Michelle sported a funny flower bouquet dress at one point, and another black one with huge pink ribbon. Sadly the rest was black for her, too, starting with the rock chick look. But then again, she looks good in everything. One would have thought that there would be some awesome dresses and color when finally some ladies took the stage to duet with all the dull male artists but no: black, black, black.... With very few exceptions: Ornella's flaming red dress, Skin's sparkly rainbow, Eva's red one, and Serena's ... red one. The only one out of this solor sceme was Annalisa in her jeans jacket and tutu in the color of granny's underpants. Somehow I wished she would...

It's all black in Sanremo fashionwise. Or almost. Last night Michelle Hunziker wore Alberta Ferretti and sported some color, finally! The other ladies were in black, except Alice Caioli in white..... Men continued in various outfits of black, with the exception of Elio e Le Storie Tese in colorful Indian outfits again, Renzo Rubino in his questionable casual ones, and Ron in dark but colorful jaclet. Newcomer Lorenzo Baglioni wore dark red while Pierfrancesco Favino sported a beautiful blue jackt at some point.... Will the third night bring some color?

  Sanremo used to back in the day also a placee to check coming trends and latest fashion. A place to see the colors that wil be next summer's fashion and so on. But world changes and it's not so much anymore so. Or what can you made up from last night's fashion statements? Mostly boring boring boring... Michelle Hunziker has chosen to wear all Made in Italy: Last night and Saturday's final she wears Armeni privé, tonight Alberta Ferretti, Thursday Trussardi and Friday Moschino.... No doubt she looks good in everything and being the hostess, can permit high fashion. The only four female of the festival wore only black and white the first night. Annalisa and Noemi rather casual, while Nina Zilli sported a more searched look while La Vanoni something suitable for her age..... Most of the men were also in black and there's not much to say. Black with more or less added rock. Blue for Caccamo, green for Diodato, red for Red and colorful Indian dresses f...

Fashion Icon. That's not what comes to mind when thinking of Céline Dion really is it? Icon perhaps but certainly not fashion one. But weird things happen and the somewhat glumsy, glum and ordinary looking housewife with a lot of money but no style kind of Céline has transformed herself this year. Six months after the death of her husband she hired Law Roach has her stylist. Roach says she has no fear and they both don't care what people think. The restyling has also helped Dion in her grieving process and rebooting her career. Like it or dislike it, she won't go unnoticed anymore. Watch out Lady Gaga, there's a new crazy in town! Check out below some of her styles over the past few months that have sent Vogue and the fashion world into frenzy.      Below Céline as we used to know her..... ;-p

The look of the festival: the ape!  Finally some color! Well, sort of. Some white.... ... and red. Maria continued with her boring dark... Marika brought in some missed glamour.... ... and then we had these. 

  So, how did the second night look like? The men had some interesting details again.... ...while other were rather boring.... but Zarrillo has a little nice trick in his jacket at least. The ladies didn't have anything special either. Or colorful. But La Turci made a boring office look sexy.... The duets were more interesting and glamourous Giorgia struggled to keep her dress up but it didn't stop her giving a stellar performance..... Carlo was looking smart in his suit and Maria had two dresses, both black and rather grandmotherly. Special mention goes to Keanu Reeves for his ill fitting suit and comfortable shoes..... Who ever dress him should be sued! And to Gabbani for his monkey :-)

Not only music, Sanremo is also the place to get hint of what's in fashion this year.... For ladies at first glance it looks like patterns with some ethnic vibe perhaps. And trousers..... For men it's darl but with some interesting details that showcase your personality (or simply so dull that it's not even worth remembereing - if you can remember a thing - like Al Bano and Ron. Even though Ron did wear a velvet jacket that is apparently very in) Carlo Conti remained trye to his Ferragamo style and stayed in same outfit all night. Maria De Filippi sported two modest outfits; black and white. Oh originality! The guests delivered some old time Sanremo glamour, especially Rocio and Diletta

Sanremo is not only music and songs. It's also one of the biggest fashion shows in Italy. One can describe it five day long red carpet where all designers want to be. This year is no exception. We know that Carlo Conti will trust Salvatore Ferragamo once again with one new suit for every night. It has taken three months to make them.... Madalina Ghenea is this year's "model" and has 15 dresses ready for the five nights from Alberta Ferretti , who has privided five of them, then she wears Vionnet and Libanese Zuhair Murat . Virginia Raffaele has kept mysterious about her choices but she's wearing different designers every night. Gabriel Garko has chosen Gianni Battistoni and he will be wearing suits inspired every night by different legendary movie stars: Paul Newman, Marcello Mastoianni, Gary Crant, Marlon Brando and Sean Connery. Nicole Kidman is a star of such calibre she can keep Giorgio Armani and Chanel waiting whose dress she will eventually choose...

Sanremo is also about fashion. I'm afraid the colors last night were not there - except for Chiara's yello Stella McCartney dress, and Malika's tile red. All men in black but Nesli in blue. All the rest seemed to be black and white.  Even the three hostesses Emma, Arisa and Rocio. With red. A lot of red. Rocio was wearing Giorgio Armani Privé, Emma Francesco Scognamiglio and Arisa Daniele Carlotta. Fashion polices seem to have not been so pleased. Rocio got applause but was critized by playing the Spanish look card a bit too much. Emma was named burlesque pride in the white dress but the black one showing some skin was maybe the best of the evening. Arisa got it all wrong in styling. She's been a disater before but this time she has exploded, in fashion sense..... I kinda agree, do you?
