Kendall Jenner definitely made all faces drop when she made her grand entrance wearing Giambattista Valli.  Straight from the runway of the designer’s fall couture collection. This statement-making as dress, with a mini hem at the front, and floor-grazing train at the back, Kendall makes sure to adhere to the black dress protest theme at the Golden Globes this year.

Our pick! JILL JILL STUART, Veronica Lace Slip Gown (on the left), Dakota Johnson (on the right)

Dakota Johnson looked timeless in this Gucci gown, that she walked the red carpet in. The glittery black Gucci gown which she paired with sparkling jewellery. It wasn’t until she turned around, however, that we fully appreciated the look. The back featured a crystal-embellished bow design, and completely left us stunned. It was gorgeous! Below is our choice for you to get the look and hire a dress just like this one!

This JILL JILL STUART dress is, the classic sleek slip dress by inserting delicate Chantilly lace with a softly draped neckline. The fitted waist and flattering neckline epitomizes sophistication. Hire a dress from us and look as gorgeous as Dakota Johnson did!

Performances to Remember: Leeds Grand Theatre

The Leeds Grand Theatre and Opera House was built in 1878 in a backlash to the music hall tradition which was thought by ‘polite society’ to lower the tone of entertainment via the sort of humour presented in these pub-based establishments.
The theatre was built on a site of approximately three quarters of an acre with a frontage on New Briggate of 56 yards, including the Assembly Rooms.
The theatre cost a total of £62,000 and took 13 months to build. The architect, George Corson, was heavily influenced by his assistant James Robertson Watson who had undertaken a tour of Europe’s churches and theatres.
Many of the design inspirations came from these continental influences, in particular the gothic, ecclesiastical spires. The exterior is in a mixture of Romanesque and Scottish baronial styles, while the interior has such gothic motifs as fan-vaulting and clustered columns.
The first performance at the theatre was Much Ado About Nothing on 18 November 1878 and stars that have trodden the boards over the years have included Sarah Bernhardt, Ellen Terry, Julie Andrews, Felicity Kendal, Morecambe and Wise and Laurence Olivier.
The Grand Theatre celebrated the 125th anniversary of its opening in 2003. It is widely regarded as a major milestone in Victorian theatre building.
