Social Events Of The Week

Alexander McQueen Store Opening, LA



None has dared to wear this pink and violet ombre deep plunging Alexander McQueen Spring 2008 kimono sleeved dress on the red carpet until now. And thank god it was someone with a big personality like Janet Jackson.

I am not usually a fan of Janet Jackson's style, but she totally owns this dress, were many would have been dwarf by it.



I LOVE Beth Ditto in this multi-coloured Alexander McQueen Spring 2008 gown.

Beth is fearless when it comes to fashion. She always looks amazing, and this is mostly due to the amazing confidence she has.



Elizabeth Banks looks very sexy in this hot pink and black leather Alexander McQueen Spring 2008 cocktail dress.

The skirt has various cut outs, to make this dress a little kinky.



Eve in all white shows off her a Union Jack Alexander McQueen Patent skull clutch. Only 17 of the $2000 Union Jack clutches were produced especially for the L.A. flagship. I am guessing they are all gone by now.

She also wore her much loved (and worn) gold YSL tribute platform sandals.



Joy Bryant is as striking as ever in this zebra print ombre Alexander McQueen strapless gown.



Natalie Maines is sexy, yet sophisticated in this black Alexander McQueen Spring 2008 skirt suit.

I especially love the beautifully constructed shoulders and the fushica/black belt.



Tracee Ellis Ross wears a blue floral dress with a tan belt, and the much coveted Givenchy open toe shoe boots.



TV presenter Cat Deeley is below par in this white lace dress.

Women's Health "Down To Earth" Event, New York



The elastic belt on this Proenza Schouler Spring 2008 geometric print top adds definition to Chloe Sevigny's tiny waist. The quirky actress adds a black full skirt leather boots and a black clutch.

CW Network 2008 Upfronts, New York



Blake Lively's necklaces spice up this gold taffeta Dolce & Gabbana sheath dress. Strappy sandals would have worked so much better than those brown pumps.



Leighton Meester looks strike a pose in her multi-coloured Chloé Spring 2008 tunic dress. The stunning sleeveless dress has crisscross detail at the back for added sex appeal.

Leighton wore her dress with a pair of black Givenchy heels and a croc Chloé Spring 2008 clutch.



Michelle Trachtenberg keeps it simple in a LBD.



Taylor Momsen opted for a floaty tunic dress with nude strappy sandals.



Tyra Banks shows off her wonderful curves in this empire waist plunge neck dress, with a large tan belt.

Entertainment Weekly/Vavoom Upfront Party, New York



Blake Lively wore the same dress to the CW Network 2008 Upfronts event, as she did to this party, but her cast-mates had the sense to change.

Leighton Meester wore this beautiful embellished black tiered Temperley London Fall 2008 dress with a electric blue pair of Christian Louboutin Decolzep Platform Pumps.



Taylor Momsen opted for a neon yellow bubble hemmed dress, with the same nude shoes as before.



Michelle Trachtenberg wore this beautiful sequined dress, but she ruined her look with the tights.



Sara Ramirez is a knock-out in her David Meister coral charmeuse dress. The printed strapless silk dress is beautifully gathered at the bodice for added detail.

The stunning actress wore her dress with silver satin peep-toes and a dove grey Mary Norton clutch.



Actress Dania Ramirez went slightly OTT in this strapless mini Elsie Katz Couture Spring 2008 tutu of chrysanthemum brocade, with rulled petticoat and hand-formed crystal beaded blossoms, but she works it well.



Model Lydia Hearst wore a backless hot pink silk crepe Marc Jacobs Spring 2008 dress with baby pink with shorts which are inserted into the dress.

"Made of Honor" Premiere, Paris



I especially love the skirt of Michelle Monaghan's strapless belted navy Valentino Fall 2008 dress.

"Made of Honor" Premiere, Berlin



This skirt on Michelle Monaghan's Dolce & Gabbana dress is even more interesting, as it is slightly ballooned, giving Michelle a very interesting shape.

What I don't like is the nude panel on the front of the dress. Michelle should have dared to go without it, and had a deep plunging neckline.

Modern Bride's "25 Trendsetters of 2008" Awards Dinner, New York



Leighton Meester is having a fantastic week. This time she is wearing a emerald green Lanvin-esqe type dress, with the asymmetric ruffled neckline, but this dress is actually Monique Lhuillier Pre-Fall 2008. Thanks Connie.



We have not seen Sara Ramirez on the red carpet for a while, and she returns with two hot dresses. This dress is also by David Meister, but this one-shouldered bandage dress is even sexier than the first.

The fabric caresses and molds Sara's incredible curves.

MTV TRL, New York



I am losing count of Leighton Meester amazing wardrobe changes this week, but she has not put a foot wrong.

She does casual chic, as she does high red carpet glamour with equal brilliance.
