Red Carpet Fashion Awards

Fan Bingbing was one of the many Asian celebrities to attend the Louis Vuitton Flagship Store Opening in Shenzhen earlier this month, and it looks like Fan has become a fan of the brand.

To the Shanghai Premiere of “Sophie’s Revenge” this week, Fan looked outstanding wearing a pink satin Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 mini dress with fishnet tights and YSL Fall 2008 black heels with a gold platform.

The dress is outstanding.

Aside from the colour I love the way it drapes, and I’m glad she didn’t feel the need to wear all the LV accessory’s.

I love her new rich auburn locks.  She really stands out from the other ladies. It’s a drastic but nice change to her much darker roots.

Co-stars Yao Chen, Peter Ho and Zhang Ziyi also attended the premiere.

Yao wore a stand-out aqua blue sleeveless dress with an silk draping neckline, whilst Zhang opted for a fuschia pink dress with black heels.

There was a time when Zhang would have stood out the most, but I’m instantly drawn to Fan.

Nina Ricci is known for it’s clothes – and heels after the Fall 2009 collection – but they also make stunning bags.

The Nina Ricci “Ondine” bag collection could be the next line of ‘It’ bags, as many celebs have been seen toting the bags around in recent weeks.

Whilst we were all dazzled by Leighton Meester’s Louis Vuitton dress and red Brian Atwood shoes at the Teen Choice Awards, we didn’t notice her Nina Ricci black python “Ondine” clutch.

Uma Thurman was spotted in Paris shopping with her fiancé Arpad Busson carrying a Nina Ricci bag, and of course RiRi started the celebrity love of this collection carrying the Nina Ricci Pony Bag.

The “Ondine” collection includes 4 models: The Tote, the Hobo, the Shoulder Bag and the Clutch.

All of which are available in a several fabrics (dyed lamb, pony, alligator and calf) and colours (black, lilac, grape, grey, blueberry and bordeaux), but each bag has a distinctive horseshoe-shaped ribbon detail.

Barney’s currently have 6 styles online in black in various sizes, but you can view the full collection at NinaRicci.com.

My chin hit the floor when I saw Rachel McAdams wearing a stunning white Emilio Pucci Resort 2010 ruched dress with a very deep plunge.

Mostly because she looks amazing in the dress, but secondly because the actress deepen the plunge to make the dress even sexier than it appears on the runway.

Who would have thought Rachel could pull of a sex kitten look?

Her look was paired with black patent Christian Louboutin Pigalle heels, whilst her peachy glow and pink lips worked well with her cute curly bob.

Brad Pitt was also there in an official capacity as one of the movie’s producers, and he was also decked out in white.

“The Time Traveler’s Wife” hits screens this Friday.

Agyness Deyn pays tribute to the late Michael Jackson, on the subscribers cover of the September 2009 issue of US Harper’s Bazaar which was shot by Terry Richardson.

Michael Jackson’s eccentric style will live on forever which is shown in the 6 page editorial.

Deyn wears iconic MJ outfits including the dazzling socks and his iconic glove. Her poses are on point as she balances on the tips of her toes.

In her PYT shoot Deyn wears Moschino, YSL, Stella McCartney and Balmain blazer from the runway, plus MJ’s iconic red leather Thriller jacket from Fierce Costumes and a crystallised Swarovski Rag and Bone blazer.

I love this editorial. Even though Deyn is not my favourite model, I think she captures the energy and spirit of MJ in each picture.

Within a month Victoria Beckham’s ‘Carmontelle’ cashmere-blend dress has been worn on 3 different shoots.

I was surprised Leighton Meester was the first to wear a Victoria Beckham Fall 2009 dress in claret red, on the set of “Gossip Girl” last month before Victoria.

Her dress was totally Blair-ified with pearls and a trademark headband.

Victoria picked this same dress in grey to wear on the shoot of her ad campaign, which is impressive considering bigger designers like Christian Dior will not shoot a Fall 2009 ad campaign.

This week Elle Macpherson looked younger than her 46 years wearing the same dress in grey on set of “The Beautiful Life”.

It seems the model/actress has studied VB closely getting both the look and the pout right.

For me no one can out do VB in her own threads.

The collection is not only made by her, but made for her so she wins for me, with Elle a very close second.


The Net-A-Porter US site is the only place you can currently buy this stunning dress online for $3,145.
