Rihanna was in London this week to perform at the Brixton o2 Academy.

She took to the stage - much to the delight of her fans - to perform wearing an asymmetrical black bodysuit with embellishments from Manish Arora’s Spring 2010 collection.

It’s was a typically bold stage look for Rihanna, because as we know RiRi doesn’t do safe anymore.

Fishnet tights and ankle boots completed the look.

RiRi’s most interesting look was her Mark Fast Fall 2009 tangerine knit dress, which she wore when she attended the Nokia X6 launch at Mahiki nightclub in Mayfair.

Mark Fast is the knitwear designer of the moment, and his super sexy dresses are sought after by many fashionista’s.

Her look was paired with a Louis Vuitton tasseled bag, grey Christian Louboutin Lynne backless ankle boots and Maria Francesca Pepe chunky chain bracelet.

Prior to her arrival in London Rihanna was pictured outside “Skyrock Radio” in Paris, where she made an appearance to promote her new album, ‘Russian Roulette.’

It was here we got to see her wearing a Rick Owens Fall 2009 dove grey coat, which she wore over her Acne Spring 2010 cropped printed jumpsuit.

En route to her hotel in London Rihanna was spotted wearing another Rick Owens look.

She paired her black leather jacket with a grey IRO fur hat and this time she opted to carry her Louis Vuitton fanny pack.

Shopping on Oxford Street in London, her devotion was clear as she wore yet another Rick Owens jacket.

This dove grey version is my favourite. It looks so snug, soft and luxurious.

Her Rick Owens cropped padded shouldered leather jacket, plus the Rick Owens black leather jacket and my favourite Rick Owens padded vintage tie leather jacket are all available to purchase from Luisa via Roma.

A Rick Owens leather jacket is without doubt the investment piece for your winter wardrobe. Perfect for day or evening.

I want one now.

Speidi aka Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are busily promoting their new book on “How to Be Famous”.

I’ve done my best to ignore them, but they keep popping up everywhere.

Whilst leaving their hotel in New York to enroute to the “Live with Regis and Kelly” studios, something caught my eye - her Miu Miu embellished socks.

These nude ribbed knee-high socks with multicoloured sequin and bead embellishment epitomized the bourgeoisie mood of the runway.

Heidi ruins that mood, by taking the socks to tackyville pairing them with a gold fur coat, a white mini knit dress and Christian Louboutin’s Mamimo pumps.

She has the opposite to the midas touch, everything she touches turns to blah.

These Fall 2009 embellished knee-high socks were on Net-A-Porter, but they have since sold-out.

Katherine Jenkins continues to promote her new album “Believe”.

During her promotion she dazzled in designer dresses, but also made high-street looks we can all afford look amazing.

After she was helicoptered into Swansea, the singer changed out of her Oscar de la Renta dress into a strapless sassy D&G dress to sign her CD for waiting fans.

The floral print dress was less structured on Katherine, as she opted out of the runway belt and paired her dress with tights and Trib Two’s.

The next day she headed to London Westfield shopping centre to greet fans at HMV.

Here she looked beautiful wearing a black Matthew Williamson jewel detailed dress from the Fall 2009 collection without the runway necklace, which I had assumed was part of the dress.

YLS sandals completed the look.

At HMViIn Manchester Katherine opted for a cute strapless black and white printed French Connection Danask sweetheart dress worn with Trib Two’s.

Attending the “Samsung Pink Ribbon Breast Awareness Day” in London, Katherine glowed in a bright pink French Connection Otto frill dress again worn with Trib Two’s.

My favourite looks here are the Matthew Williamson dress, and the pink French Connection dress. Regular readers will guess why.

I love Victoria Beckham because she is the master at manipulating the media.

Girlfriend doesn’t like basketball, she was at the Staples Center to show off her stunning new ‘do. Quite shamelessly and I love her for that.

The new ‘do?  I LOVE IT.

I’ve been campaign long and hard for her to return to her sexy senorita long locks but this softer, curly do is defiantly a step in the right direction.

She used to switch things up quite often, but I guess she’s more focused on producing her dress collection to concentrate on re-inventing herself.

I’m sure when it happens - and I’m still confident it will - she will blow us all away.

Victoria was dressed in dVb jeans, a black Rick Owens vest top and Christian Louboutin Maggie 140 pumps looked thoroughly bored during the game.

In case you were wondering LA Lakers and Dallas Mavericks were playing at the at Staples Center and the Lakers lost 80-94.

Imagine being on your first date and having the world media taking pictures of you.

That’s what celebrity teens Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner had to endure last night as they went to dinner at Ruth’s Chris Steak House in Beverly Hills.

We’ve had Brangelina, Zanessa, RobKris and Bennifer - my personal favourite - now we have TayTay?

Not sure that will catch on, but they are a very cute couple.

Taylor often dresses up in cute Lipsy London and Rebecca Taylor dresses, but on this occasion she opted for a comfortable Armani Exchange Burnout Eagle Logo Top paired with jeans and knee-high boots.

I’m sure she just wanted to be a teenager in love, rather than be a style icon on her romantic night out.

Update: Thanks to Possessionista who identified her bag from French Connection.

Victoria Beckham was in London recently to no doubt work in her collection which is produced in the UK.

The designer was spotted arriving at London’s Heathrow airport wearing her favourite black blazer, and standard accessories including YSL Trib Two pumps, Hermes Birkin and her blackberry.

What we haven’t seen before are these two tone cord jeans from her own dVb Spring 2010 denim collection.

They are a bit patchwork for my liking, but as usual VB makes them work.

You can view her Spring 2010 denim collection here.

Whilst departing London a few days later Victoria was again spotted in her self designed clothes.

This time she wore a felt cape from her Fall 2009 collection which has zippers on the sleeves.

Victoria is a girl after my own heart because despite the dipping temperatures she’s refusing to wear tights, instead she wears her cape like a dress with her favourite Christian Louboutin black suede ankle boots.

Instead of a Birkin, her chosen arm candy for the flight home was a Loewe Paloma 29 bag from the Resort 2009 collection.

The elegant navy calf bag has gold hardware of a simple hook and looks beautiful with its classic shape.

Katherine Jenkins has had a very busy few days.

On Saturday she donned a rubber dress to perform at G-A-Y at the Heaven Nightclub in London.

With her hair swept to one side she was decorated with hundreds of Swarovski crystals on her shoulder and hair.

On Sunday she sang the national anthem at London’s Wembley Stadium for the NFL match between the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

She ditched the rubber and this time opted for a more sophisticated look wearing an Alexander McQueen feather print gown.

On Monday the singer arrived in style to promote her new album in Swansea via by helicopter.

She was glowing wearing a white Oscar de la Renta Spring 2009 silk chiffon pleated dress with embroidered details, which she paired with YSL heels.

Katherine really is every woman going from vamp, to sophisticated to a chic lady who lunches.

I was surprised to see her wearing the rubber dress, but it just goes to show she willing to dress for the occasion.

Her Alexander McQueen red & black feather-print gown is available to purchase from Net-A-Porter.com.
