As you guys know, my newest film People Like Us was released recently and I’m so proud of it! Because of it, I was also trotting all over for premieres and doing press to promote the film. Plus, I visited Paris Fashion Week on my vacation. You know what that means...it’s time for another Fashion Round-Up.
This time, I’m bringing you commentary from my amazing stylists @WendiandNicole. They are fabulous and deserve all the credit for these get-ups!

1. LA Premiere of People Like Us: We loved this J. Mendel fall 2012 cocktail dress for the LA premiere as it was a perfect combination of all things Banks; with the flirty skirt, edgy cutout bodice and the metallic jaquard fabric. Gold plaited, black, Giuseppi Zanotti sandals, Vhernier earrings and bracelet and a Lena Erziak clutch completed the look.
2. Maui Film Festival: After traveling with Elizabeth for the WTEWYE tour and never finding the perfect placement, this resort Erdem dress ended up being worn for the most ideal event in Maui. We paired it with a Jimmy Choo nude Lucia wedge and Banks’ own jewelry.

3. The View and a press day in NYC: We had this Jill Stuart resort dress for a few months and always loved it. It wasn't until we found this perfect Barbara Bui tri-colored peep toe platform that the look finally came together. This was completed with Pippa Small statement earrings.

4. Fox & Friends press day in NY: Who would ever say no to a fuchsia fall Alexander McQueen? Not Banks and not us! This dress is effortless because it's knit but the intricate details and fine pleating make it extraordinary. A Dinnijo Stella Bow Collar necklace added a little extra detail. The look was completed with Brian Atwood fuchsia lizard Karin platforms.
5. NYC Screening of People Like Us: On par with a big trend for Fall, this Elie Saab mock neck cocktail dress was perfect for New York City. Being backless was just an added bonus! The dress didn't require a lot of jewelry so the Cartier pearl and pave diamond ring was perfect. The Pierre Hardy metallic and suede strappy sandals and an Edie Parker clutch finished the look.

6. Good Morning America and More Press: We loved how fresh this House of Holland dress felt for summer with its current color blocked well placed chevron stripes. Simple Jenifer Meyer stick earrings and Brian Atwood Hamper pumps completed the look.

7. (left) Obama Campaign Day: This Izmaylova dress was conservative and fashion-forward with the edgy leather details making it perfect for campaigning for Obama. The shape of these leather Christian Louboutin pumps made for an ideal pairing.
8. (right) HFPA People Like Us Press Day: We love Jason Wu and so should you! This fall 2012 dress was a favorite due to the Asian-inspired print. The belt was a beautiful addition to his design. Christian Louboutin sandals polished off the look.

9. Fashion Week in Paris: Thanks to Lucio and the amazing Versace atelier, this custom dress was perfect for the Fall 2012 Versace Couture show! Versace shoes and clutch to match.

I don't think I need to state the obvious again, that #5 is a FANTASTIC LOOK that I hope you guys will repeat again in vibe/spirit. Statuesque. If I had the same skin tone/hair color, I would wear neutral shift dresses with gold appliqués in a heartbeat.
I had to sign up for an account here after seeing this particular post because wow...
4. Fox & Friends press day in NY:
^ Wow. Those legs. Please flaunt again. But really, that color and cut is makes her look so fresh and flirty! Totally reminds me of something Victoria Beckham would wear.
7. (left) Obama Campaign Day:
This was totally unexpected. I have to admit on any given day you can find me logged in to fashionspot celebrity style section, and I didn't see this coming. So fashion forward! ~ Love how architectural it is and those pumps!
There's such a cool-girl vibe here (a la proenza schouler) that I dig... I totally want to see you/Elizabeth in this kind of look again for casual events again!
Okay said my peace, gonna repost that last look on tfs if its not there so others can admire. -
My top picks: #5 for the big evening out -- gold tones are always so stunning on true blonds; #2 for beach and resort, I just love the retro styling and that orange is a great color complement for Elizabeth's skin and hair; #3 a great polished day/work look & perfect with Elizabeth's eye's, the shoes are an amazing match; #6 is perfect for a less formal evening out -- love that little flirty hemline. Elizabeth looks so good in dark blues and the zig-zags highlight her perfect figure.
Okay,the next comments are nitpicking, since Elizabeth looks great in anything and you guys are awesome, inventive stylists:
Cute but not Elizabeth's color pallet: #4 I think maybe it's the dark metal collar that throws it off; also I think the skirt is a bit too short to really flatter someone as tall as Elizabeth; #9 dark grey is okay, but the light grey panel in the center drains her of color.
Meh....#7 kind of interesting, but if I looked at it too long it seemed like a maid who lost half her uniform....but then I've was watching Downton Abbey last night :) I love the pattern on #4 but I think the shoulders are a bit too built up; #1 great color but the styling is a little too Original Star Trek -- I keep thinking Captain Kirk will come to the rescue. -

The NYC outfit is my favorite, it is just so pretty! And the Paris Fashion Week one also looks stunning so that is a definite second. They're all amazing though! -
love love love them all - the Jill Stuart being my least fave - that one seems a little old - but I LOVE those shoes! -
I LOVE the dress you wore in Maui!! It's so Hawiian and it's so you!! ..... Did i just call you Hawiian???? :| -

I'm obsessed with that Jill Stuart Dress. I wished I owned that! I also love the Obama Campaign Leather Christian L's. Divine! Also kind of obsessed with the Dinnijo Stella Bow Collar and the Fuschia Brian Atwood heels. Let's be honest, I like them all.
