Raquel Welch has been a strong influence in the current 80’s fashion revival, as previously noted in the post Double-breasted Polka Dot Power Suit. In 1982, amidst an array of flower baskets, Raquel posed in a floor length gold lame slanted stripe evening gown paired with a gold choker. Eva Mendes wore a striking similar dress by Louis Azzaro to Cartier’s 100th Anniversary in America celebration at the Cartier Fifth Avenue Mansion on April 30, 2009 in New York City. Who do you think wore the look better?

Eva Mendez is a ray of sunshine in chilly London for ‘The Spirit’ launch party at the Old Sorting Office, New Oxford Street.  She is is ahead of the pack considering Pantone’s announcement that color mimosa, 14-0848, a warm bold yellow would be the color of 2009.

Anyone who has been watching the runways or celebrity style knows that this bold yellow has been seeping into our consciousness for some time.  Terry Hatcher, Mariska Hargitay and Saffron Burrows all wore Mimosa-esque yellows at the Primetime Emmy awards in September.  They are three of many trendsetters who brought bright yellow to the forefront in 2008.  Take a look at them here.
