Who Wore Pencey Better? Leighton Meester or Cassie


Gossip Girl actress Leighton Meester, wore this olivie Pencey Cummerbund dress to the premiere of Killer Movie during the 7th Annual Tribeca Film Festival back in April in New York.

The actress was one of the first to start the white shoe trend.

A slick haired Cassie attend the launch of Madison Square Garden's new series "NYC Sound Tracks" at Metrazur Restaurant in Grand Central Terminal this month in New York wearing the same dress in white.

The singer wore her mini dress with a pair of black Givenchy Strappy Open Toe Ankle Booties.

Both ladies opted for thin necklace with a tiny pendant, with this now sold out dress.

I love Cassie's shoes, but I much prefer the colour of Leighton's dress, so she wins for me.

In Lucy Liu's Closet - RM by Roland Mouret


After the cancellation of Cashmere Mafia, Lucy Liu joins the cast of Dirty Sexy Money this coming Fall season.

Her character Nola Lyons. will play a key role in a juicy central storyline of the new season.

The actress attended Day 10 of the 2008 Summer Television Critics Association Press Tour in LA yesterday, wearing a primrose yellow RM by Roland Mouret Montparnasse dress.

I may look similar, but this is not the same dress that Victoria Beckham wore to the ESPY Awards, but it is by the same designer.


This stunning dress has a contrast nude-colored piping, cap sleeves, a pleated lapel around a V-neckline, and a pleated insert on skirt.

This dress must find its way into your Summer/Pre-Fall closet, so purchase it from the Net-A-Porter US site for $2,525 or the International site for £1,210/€1,585.

Runway To The Stage - Rihanna In Givenchy Boots


Rihanna performed during at Casablanca Concert in Morocco this weekend wearing the knee-high boot version of the ever popular Givenchy booties.

Rihanna's not afraid to go long. She was also the first celebrity to wear the knee-high Balenciga black and white woven boots, which I had reserved for the Olsens.

Jessica Biel For Harper's Bazaar US August 2008

Jessica Biel appears in the August 2008 US edition of Harper's Bazaar after keeping a very low profile this year.

In a unique editorial Jessica hits the dance floor with five of fashion's favorite designers which was shot by and Peter Lindbergh.

You can read the whole interview here, but here are some extracts.

On marriage: "I’ve never been someone who’s like, ‘I have to, have to, have to have it.’ But the idea of being with somebody I care about, who’s my soul mate, that sounds groovy."

On having children: "I think when you make a decision to have a family and children, everything else comes second. But if I choose to have a family, I would hope to create a balance, because I don’t want to lose my sense of identity, my career, and my independence."

On the food in Columbia, S.C. (where she’s filming her new movie Nailed): "I love the food. I really have to hold myself back because if I had my choice, I would eat fried green tomatoes and goat cheese all day, every day."

Social Events Of The Week

Sephora Celebrates Ten Years Of Gorgeous, New York



I love Ashanti in this multi coloured floral print Balenciaga dress, which she wears with blue pointy Christian Louboutin heels.

What I don't love it she blue eyeliner. This is a look that the singer favours, as she also wore the same shade, when she attended the Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull New York premiere.



Is that a tan on Kelly Osbourne?

It's either a fake tan or she has changed her foundation shade, but doesn't it do wonders for the usually pale star.



I won't lie, there was a time that I used to love seeing Lindsay Lohan on the red carpet, but not so much lately.

Her best dress was the multi-coloured Herve Leger dress, which she wore to Maxim's 8th Annual Hot 100 Party last year. The multi-coloured sequined Catherine Malandrino dress she is wearing here, is just as fab.



Nicky Hilton wears her multi-coloured knit dress, with a pair of Christian Louboutin Altadama watersnake peep-toes.



Natasha Bedingfield style is very much like a roller-coaster, in that it's very up and down, and at time can make you feel quite queezy, but on this occasion this pale blue spaghetti strapped dress is simply beautiful.

"Late Show with David Letterman", New York



This asymmetrical velvet Lanvin Fall 2008 dress nonconformist Maggie Gyllenhaal is wearing will not be for everyone.

I personally like the dress, but I am not a fan of the headband.

Disney And ABC's "TCA - All Star Party", LA



Lucy Liu looks beautiful wearing a white and coral organza embroidered Oscar de la Renta Resort 2009 dress with a thin leather belt.

I love how the red lips compliment the dress.



This is not my favourite look on Kate Walsh. I am particularly disliking the black lace and white satin top half.



Selena Gomez looked very glam at this event last night. Is she the next up-and-coming teen fashionista?

She could be wearing this fabulous black dress with gold accents with black peep-toe heels.



Teri Hatcher looks very elegant in this ivory asymmetric tiered J. Mendel strapless dress, which she compliments with taupe Louboutin's.



Natasha Henstridge looks elegant wearing a bouquet cami Black Halo dress, which was very popular last year with the likes of Paris Hilton, Golden Brooks and Mandy Moore wearing it.

This season the dress has been reintroduced in an array of new colours including jade and ruby.



Becki Newton is not part of 'Victoria Beckham matchy brigade'. The actress always loves to mix it up with a bright pair of heels. Her stunning pair are by Courtney Crawford.

Her stunning velvet strapless ruffled Abaeté dress is divine. It looks so soft, and I bet it is sensuous to touch.



I love the colour of this ice blue one shouldered cocktail Alberto Makali dress with bow detailing which the star works with a Daniel Swarovski clutch.

For Nicollette Sheridan this is a good effort. Not great, just inoffensive.



I have not known Sarah Chalke to have an off day on the red carpet lately. This lilac keyhole Zac Posen Satin Neptune Mini Dress is simply fabulous.

I especially love the cowl back.



Vanessa Williams opted for a more relaxed style for this event.

I love the red on her.

Berlin Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week - Hugo Boss, Berlin



Mischa Barton jazzed up a steel grey Hugo Boss Fall 2008 strapless pencil dress, with a studded -possibly vintage- belt.

This dress was quite bland on the runway, so kudos to Mischa for adding some personality to it.

"Kung Fu Panda" Press Conference, Toyko



Lucy Liu thankfully wore a modified version of this black Pollini Spring 2008 dress with gold embellishments on the neckline, as the runway version came with transparent pants.

"Mamma Mia!" Premiere, New York



Just a simple black Amanda Wakeley gown for Amanda Seyfried. Nothing much more to say about it.



I am falling in love with Christine Baranski. I love her choices of cocktail dress to gowns, as she has such great legs and is not afraid to show them off.

Her animal print sequined dress is very tasteful, and not over the top like the prints Sharon Stone would pick.



In a red Jill Stuart dress and YSL pumps, there can only be one word for Coco Rocha. Fieerrrce.

2008 Emmy Nominations


The 2008 Emmy nominations were announced yesterday, and as usual my mind is already thinking of what the stars will wear on the red carpet.

For me it is all about who will be Best Dressed, Best Actress in a Drama Series is secondary to me.


Here is the full list of nominees. From looking at the list I am already thinking, will America Ferrera go with Monique Lhuillier again? or will see try other designers, like she did when she stepped onto the NAACP Image Awards red carpet wearing in Marchesa.

Will Vanessa Williams stick to Kevan Hall? who has served her so well in the past.

Will Amy Poehler wear a gown, when she often wears cocktail dress?

Will Susan Sarandon cover up her chest? Or stick to her plunging neckline gowns, that show off her assets so perfectly?

Instyle has created a cute Wish List for the Emmy Awards.



I love their pick for America Ferrera (L'Wren Scott) and Tina Fey (Monique Lhuillier), but I dislike their choice for Sandra Oh (Vera Wang) and Kyra Sedgwick (Calvin Klein).

Who Wore Ralph Lauren Better? Heidi Montag or Glenn Close


Who would have thought that these two ladies would wear the same dress?

Heidi Montag first wore this floral Ralph Lauren Spring 2008 strapless tiered dress to the 134th Kentucky Derby in Louisville back in May.

The reality TV star wore her dress with a large fuschia hat.

Glenn Close wore the same dress with the black patent belt that appeared on the runway, when she attended the Fox All-Star Party At The Pier in LA this week.

The veteran actress wore her dress with flat peep-toes and bright pink cardigan.

I love how both women opted for a bright pink accessory with the dress, but I LOVED Heidi's hat, so she wins this for me.

Mishca Barton's Talks Fashion With Gok Wan


Gok's Fashion Fix is a fabulous fashion show on Channel 4 in the UK which is all about, you guessed it, fashion.

The main premise of the show is to learn how to customise your wardrobe.

With a few alterations, Gok attempts to make High Street bargains look like high end pieces.

Also in the show he talks to a celebrities about fashion. This week he spoke to Mischa Barton about her style and fashion inspirations. Not being a fan of Mischa's street style I was interested to hear what she had to say.

The former OC actress opens her wardrobe to the style king, and I was surprised that the pieces were not too bad.


One of items she shows Gok from her wardrobe is this Roberto Cavalli Spring 2008 floral jumpsuit, which I always thought was a gown. The actress wore this to the Chopard And Alberta Ferretti party in Cannes Film Festival

Vanessa Paradias For Miu Miu Fall 2008


Vanessa Paradis who has chic perfection oozing from every pore, for me is, and will always be a Chanel girl, but the Parisian princess was chosen by Miu Miu to represent their Fall 2008 campaign.

When this collection was presented earlier this year I was not a fan, in fact I hated it, which is a first for me. But after seeing Camilla Belle wearing one of the pieces on the red carpet, and now Vanessa modeling for the collection my little black heart is starting to thaw.


I ESPECIALLY LOVE these Pointy-Toe Platform Pumpss. My chin hit the floor when I first saw these pumps in UK Elle magazine this month.

I feel sorry for anyone who gets in the way of me and these pumps, which come in many colour variations.

At £315 or $650 from Saks, I can put off eating for a few weeks, no?

In Kelly Rowland's Closet - Matthew Williamson


Kelly Rowland, who I believe is now living in the UK, was recently spotted leaving celebrity favourite Nobu Berkeley in London recently with friends.

The ex Destiny Child's singer looked stunning wearing a slinky Matthew Williamson Leaf print maxi dress with silver heels and a mini beaded clutch.

This maxi dress would look great with a pair of gladiator flats, or wedges and you can purchase this dress from Net-A-Porter's US site for $1,256.25 or the International site for £507.50/€752.

Victoria's Secret Newest Angel - Chanel Iman

Back in March a very excited Chanel Iman announced to the world that she was going to become Victoria's Secret newest Angel before it was officially announced.

The 18 year old model has achieved her dream, as she appears in the Fall 2008 editions of Victoria's Secret catalogues.

A few of you were worried that this young girl would be wearing the sexiest bras and thongs, but as you can see from these pictures, she is representing the younger Pink collection.

Congrats to her.

Being a VS model was also my dream. *sighs*

Who Wore Dolce & Gabbana Better? Khloe Kardashian or Lauren Conrad or Michelle Kwan


In the space of a week this Dolce & Gabbana dress has become the hottest dress on the red carpet.

First up was Khloe Kardashian. She wore this sexy Dolce & Gabbana bustier dress with Burberry Prorsum stretch mesh T-bar sandals in Las Vegas last month, when she celebrated her 27th birthday with family and friends at Pure nightclub.

This week Lauren Conrad wore the same dress to the premiere of The Dark Knight in New York.

The reality TV bore wore her dress with a simple in a pair of black peep-toe Louboutins, and her "Lauren" name tag ring.

Last night Figure skater Michelle Kwan wore the same dress - I guess she does not read blogs - to the ESPY Awards.

The athlete wore her dress with black wedges, which had a white striped heel.

I do love Michelle's wedges, but I will begrudgingly give this to Lauren, with Khloe ending up in last place for this contest.

2008 ESPY Awards Red Carpet - Best Dressed



Best Couple/Best Dressed Female Award
I love Victoria Beckham, you know I do, but for her to walk the red carpet with sunglasses on, (one of my red carpet NO NO's) is beyond pretentious, although I do appreciate that she is channeling Audrey Hepburn here.

Luckily for her she has that hot arm candy in her husband David Beckham, and she wore a stunning primrose yellow RM for Roland Mouret Pre-Fall 2008 'Kleber' cocktail dress, with an origami-pleated neckline, and full-length zip at the back, which makes me forgive, but not forget.

What I also admire is her restraint to not have worn shoes to match her dress.



Best Dressed Male Award
Hotness.

In some pictures it looked like David Beckham had tucked his tie into his shirt, but the soccer stud was actually wearing a white waistcoat. Such a smooth look for the handsome Becks wearing a Spencer Hart suit and Tom Ford shoes

David won Best MLS Player on the night, a feat that was not very difficult.



Best White Award
For such a hot sunny day TV personality Terri Seymour chose right with this white Azzedine Alaia mini dress, which she matched with gold YSL tribute pumps.



Best Sparkle Awards
I love Venus Williams - who looks a lot like Serena here - in this black and silver sequined plunge-neck Diane von Furstenberg dress with Giuseppe Zanotti strappy heels.

The more championships she wins, the better her style becomes.



Best Female Over 6ft Award
It is not easy being tall, muscular and dressing elegantly, but WNBA player Candace Parker pulls it off, looking very glamourous in her champagne gown.

The star won Best Female Athlete on the night.



Best Accessories Award
I would never have thought to match yellow with grey, but IRL driver Danica Patrick, makes it work with her Abaeté strapless mini dress.

Not crazy about her hair though.



Simple, But Elegant Award
Sophia Bush's dark olive one-shouldered Fendi Fall 2008 gown, is a huge departure from her normal style of thigh high dresses.

I adore her earrings.



Best Mini Award
Kristen Bell kept is short and very sweet in this strapless purple Jil Stuart Resort 2009 bustier dress, which she accessorized with a long necklace with a huge pendent.



Best At Sticking To What Works Best Award
Model Adriana Lima wore this Alessandro Dell'Acqua dress, which you would very much expect her to wear as it's cute and short.



Best At Not Playing It Safe/Best Legs Award
Kate Walsh could have worn a dress like Sophia Bush and played it safe, but the actress wanted to have fun last night, and it showed.

The Private Practice star wore a short purple and silver sequined Jenny Packham cocktail dress, which showed off her sexy legs.

She completed her look with strappy Calvin Klein heels.



Just Not Sure Award
I am not sure if I like this printed maxi dress on Ashanti or I hate it, so I am staying on the fence.

2008 ESPY Awards Red Carpet - Worst Dressed



Worst Dressed Female Award
Between the criss cross halter neck, the exposure of her breasts and her sour puss face, Brittny Gastineau is a holy hot mess.



Worst Dressed Male/Worst White/Worst Michael Jackson Impression Award
Soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo, again wearing my pet hate on the red carpet - sunglasses, looked really really bad.

Mostly because of the off white suit with the white tee. I am surprised he did not colour coordinated the crutches.

I can not believe he flew from Manchester in England to attended an event on crutches when he did not even win an award. ?!?!



Worst Woman Over 6ft Award
After seeing what is possible with Candace Parker, WNBA player Lisa Leslie could have tried harder.



Worst Couple Award
Actor Forest Whitaker and wife Keisha are not usually known as Mr & Mrs Bland, but both went with very dark colours for such a sunny day.

Keisha is wearing a black Fendi Fall 2008 dress, with a feathered hem.



I Know You Can Do Better Award
On the red carpet is were Fergie really makes some magic happen, but on this occasion, she seems very muted. The Calvin Klein dress looks great, but it does not match Fergie's personality.



No Wonder You Did Not Walk The Red Carpet Award
Jessica Biel did not walk the red carpet, and no wonder. What she is wearing is suitable for work or a trip to the mall, but a little bland for a red carpet event.

Her peeping bra strap also loses her many points, her hair looks very greasy, she is in desperate need of some lipstick and what is that thing around her neck?



Nice Dress, Shame About The Make-Up Award
Toccara Jones plum dress is gorgeous. It really shows of her fantastic curves, but the eye make-up is enough to make Lil' Kim say "Oh no you didn't".



Three-peat Award
Figure skater Michelle Kwan ends up in this category for being the 3rd person within a week to wear this Dolce & Gabbana dress.

As beautiful as the dress is, I am bored of it already.



Best At Looking Trashy Award
Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt look equally trashy, as you would expect.

Bridget's Mandalay dress has also been worn by her fellow housemate Holly Madison.

I guess they share dresses as well as wrinkly old men. *shudders*

Social Events Of The Week

Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging Premiere, London




Last month I introduced you all to an up and coming designer called Kristian Aadnevik.

I said that the young designer had a fetish for feathers, and that could not be more true when actress Eleanor Tomlinson walked a red carpet in London this evening wearing one of his stunning feather skirted gowns from his Fall 2008 collection.

Apart from the skirt, the bodice is uber sexy.

This is a big dress for a 16 year old, but she manages to carry it well.



The lead actress for Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging is Georgia Groome. The young actress wore this black sequined dress and black strappy sandals.

Her dress is no match for Eleanor's, but she looks fantastic for her first red carpet appearance.



This is also Manjeeven Grewal's first red carpet appearance, and made it memorable by wearing this stunning traditional Indian ensemble with beautiful beaded embellishments, that complimented her stunning diamond drop earrings.

She completed her look with a blue bindi.

The 2008 ESPYs Giant Event Hosted by Eli Manning, LA



The main ESPY Awards are tonight with the likes of Ashanti, Victoria Beckham, David Beckham and Zac Efron attending, so this was just a pre-event.

Hayden Panettiere falls very flat here for me in this printed maxi dress. Hayden has great legs and she should show them off.



Nicole Murphy arrived looking very chic in her safari-esqe ensemble from Stella McCartney's Spring 2008 collection.

The former Mrs Eddie Murphy completes the look with a hat tipped to the side.

Kimora Lee Simmons "Fabulosity" Launch Party, LA



Yikes, I never knew Gabrielle Union could look so boring.

Her dress looks very much like a fake Miu Miu.



Whoever informed Kimora Lee Simmons that she was fabulous, lied to her.

When Anna Wintour Wears The Same Dress Twice, Or More


Unlike the rest of us Anna Wintour never has to wear the same dress twice, but she has no problem in doing so. In fact the editor-in-chief of American Vogue tends to have favourite dresses of the season, which she will wear on many occasions.

Her current favourite is the floral Carolina Herrera Resort 2009 shift dress, which she's been photographed in on three separate occasions within two weeks.

She first she wore this dress to the Salvatore Ferragamo menswear show in Milan, then she wore again when she watched Roger Federer from Centre Court's Royal Box at Wimbledon, and most recently she wore it to the Christian Lacroix couture show.


Her other love affair this season, is with this blue Oscar de la Renta Resort 2009 belted dress, which she also has in green.

Ms Wintour, first wore this particular dress to the Sex And The City movie premiere in New York in May, then to Tommy Hilfiger Engagement Party in June.


Of course the most favourite dress of the Spring 2008 season was the blue and orange checked Prada dress, which Ms Wintour wore on 3 separate occasions. She also has this dress in terracotta and cream.

I am positive the credit crunch has not affected her clothing allowance, so what could be the reason for her repeating what she wears?

1. She likes to pack light. All these dresses seem to be quite light in fabric, therefore easy to pack/press as Ms Wintour travels frequently.

2. If it ain't broke don't fix it. She knows what works for her and sticks to it.

3. She is making a style statement, in an attempt to shock people.

4. She just simply loves the dresses.

I would say a bit of all of the above.

Red Carpet Favourites - Mary Norton Clutches


I am a fan of red carpet dresses, which is why I started this blog, but recently I have become more and more fascinated with clutches.

One brand that stands out the most is Mary Norton.

Mary Norton is an expert on red carpet accessorizing, and over the last 10 yeras she has amassed a large celebrity following.


Mary has accessorized young Hollywood including the likes of Miley Cyrus, Hayden Panettiere, Emmy Rossum, Carrie Underwood and Vanessa Hudgens to more established stars like Hilary Swank, Teri Hatcher, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Jennifer Lopez to events like the Oscars, the AMA's, the Critic's Choice Awards, the BAFTA Awards, the SAG Awards and many premiere's.


Mary Norton's collection is not all about clutches. The range extends to shoes as well.

Her shoes are just as breath-taking and beautiful as her clutches.

Kitson Drop Victoria Beckham's dVb Mens Jeans & Lauren Conrad Collection


What do Victoria Beckham and Lauren Conrad have in common, apart from loving to shop?

They have both been dropped by LA store Kitson.

I would like to say I am surprised, but I am not.

The Lauren Conrad Collection was dropped because according to Kitson owner Fraser Ross because, "Sales were lackluster."

He is being awfully kind because the collection was incredibly boring, unoriginal and bland, hence the fact that even Lauren hardly wore her own collection.

With regard to Victoria Beckham's dVb collection, Fraser Ross also confirmed the store will not carry Victoria Beckham's dVb menswear line because of dwindling demand. This statement was to counter dVb reps issuing a statement saying.

"The dVb men's collection is on target to launch in stores for holiday 2008 as scheduled."

When dVb reps were contacted to find out what stores would be stocking the line, the rep was unsure. The line is being shopped around to retailers, but without any confirmation, there is a distinct possibility that no stores will buy it at all.

As much as I love Victoria, I can't see there being much of a demand from men for jeans.

The other thing both Lauren and Victoria have in common is that neither put in any time to promote their line at Kitson, unlike the publicity hungry Heidi Montag.

Heidi did promote her Heidiwood collection at Kitson - wearing a $4,000 Chloe dress - and her collection sold out.

Lessons to be learn from Heidi? Say it ain't so.

In Rihanna's Closet - Stella McCartney & Dries Van Noten


I seem to be writing a lot about Rihanna these days, and that is because she always looks great even when she is "off duty".

Rihanna and her girls went shopping Monday afternoon in Milan, were it has been reported that the singer spent some serious dough.

I spot Burberry and Missoni bags.

Rihanna was wearing a cute floaty Stella McCartney Strawberry patch dress, which is now sold out, but still available as a blouse, with Dries Van Noten Spring 2008 runway sequin and semi-precious stone sandals with brown leather ankle straps.

On Set With Leighton Meester Wearing Salvatore Ferragamo


Watching Gossip Girl, is sometimes like watching a runway show or a looking in boutique, as we get so see all the lovely designer clothes that the stars wear.

CW are fueling my addition of fashion on this show by releasing pictures of the girls showing off their swimsuit bodies on the set in the Hamptons, New York.

Leighton Meester's character, Blair Waldorf loves to dress in a 50s-style ensembles, and this applies to her skirted 50s-style halter-neck swimsuit, which would no doubt give her a stunning hourglass figure.

This swimsuit is from the Salvatore Ferragamo Spring 2007 collection, which Leighton looks amazing wearing.

Who Wore Lanvin Better? Alex Curran or Coleen McLoughlin


Alex Curran is the wife of Liverpool Football Club midfielder Steven Gerrard. She is known as a *WAG and loves her labels. She can often be found in Liverpool boutique Cricket, spending her husbands hard earn cash.

The blonde beauty wore this red Lanvin Spring 2008 one-shouldered ruffled top with a high waisted black pencil skirt, and a gold buckled waist belt to the Grand National at Aintree back in April.

Fellow WAG and arch enemy - think Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montage without the American accents - Coleen McLoughlin, wore the same top in yellow, when she attended Kylie's concert in Manchester this weekend.

The label loving WAG - with a job - can often be found in Flannels boutique spending a fortune on labels she probably can't pronounce, but she does have a great sense of style.

I love how both ladies have worn this top, and although it looks great with jeans and appeared with pants on the runway, I LOVE Alex's look, as this is very much my style, so she wins for me.




*WAGs (or Wags) is an acronym used particularly (but by no means exclusively) by the British tabloid press to describe the Wives And Girlfriends of the England national football team. It came into common use during the 2006 World Cup, held in Germany, although it had been used occasionally before that.

Jennifer Hudson's Dress For Her Album Cover Only Cost $36


Jennifer Hudson has changed a lot from the curly haired girl with the big voice on American Idol, both physically and professionally.

The Oscar winning actress worked with music heavyweights for her self-titled debut album including Ne-Yo, Timbaland, John Legend, Akon, Tricky and R. Kelly.

No doubt a lot of money was spent on these guys expertise, so Jennifer cut costs by wearing a sexy $36 dress from American Apparel on the cover of her album.

The mini dress has a striped glittered top half, which helps her sparkle like the star she is.

The actress has been working hard on toning her figure, whilst maintaining her sexy curves. On the cover we see that the hard work has paid off as she accentuates her now tiny waist with a large waist belt.

OK photoshop might have had something to do with this, but I would like to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Who Wore Louis Vuitton On The Cover Better? Charlize Theron For Elle UK or Kate Moss For Vogue US


Charlize Theron UK Elle magazine's August 2008 edition was first on the newsstands with her wearing a beautiful wool dress from Louis Vuitton Fall 2008 collection.

The actress oozed sex appeal on the cover as she talks to Elle about love, marriage and the pursuit of happiness.

Kate Moss wears the same dress as Charlize on the cover of US Vogue's August 2008 edition, but from her pose you get to see more of the dress.

The supermodel also wears a stunning diamond necklace, but appears to have aged 50 years and is almost unrecognizable.

I will guess that Anna wouldn't be please about this dress duplication.

Without a single hesitation I will give this win to Charlize.

Social Events Of The Week

"The Dark Knight" Premiere, New York



A very svelte Maggie Gyllenhaal looked very elegant in a black custom-made Dries Van Noten Fall 2008 strapless gown with a bright floral print on the bodice and skirt.

She accessorized with tear drop earrings and a gold bracelet.

Her elegance was completely with a neat updo.



Blake Lively showed off her well toned long legs in a black satin Vena Cava playsuit with a plunging neckline.

The Gossip Girl actress opted against jewelry, maybe because the embellishments on her ensemble had enough to make
