The Beckham’s spent Christmas at Beckingham Palace in the UK prior to David rejoining Italian soccer team AC Milan.

The Beckhams sans David were spotted leaving Heathrow airport on Sunday enroute to LA.

Victoria is the latest celebrity to jump on the fur loving trend, by looking super dupa fly wearing an Isabel Marant Fall 2009 fur coat paired with a grey tank top, Stella McCartney ombre jeans, a grey fedora hat and Brian Atwood suede peep-toe ankle boots.

This is the second time Victoria has been seen wearing the coat.

She was first spotted wearing it in London when the Beckham’s went to see the play “Jersey Boys” at the Prince Edward Theater before Christmas.

I love this airport chic look, but I’m tiring of reading that Victoria doesn’t wear real fur.

Like her Antonio Berardi fur jacket this is as real as it comes.

I laughed out loud at the suggest on one Victoria Beckham forum that Victoria has designers custom faux fur pieces for her.

This is a woman who own a Himalayan Birkin which is made using the skins of 3 crocodiles. Plus she’s even carrying a new burgundy crocodile Birkin – a Christmas gift from David I’m guessing.

So is she such a hypocrite to spare the foxs, but not the crocodiles?

Net-A-Porter are starting to add more Resort 2010 looks to their virtual shelves.

Today they added the stunning Zac Posen crepe jersey gown which Mischa Barton wore to “The Beautiful Life” Launch Party in New York back in September.

It’s a stunning gown. Mischa really did the look justice.

What I loved most about the dress were those beautiful cut-out details on the front and the back.

Check out this gown and many more celebrity looks over at Shop Her Closet.

Whilst most celebs have been sunning themselves in St. Barts or skiing in Aspen, Leighton Meester has been working to get “singing career” off the ground.

At the opening party of Miami’s newest nightclub Klutch, the actress/”singer” wore a sexy Christopher Kane Spring 2009 LBD with the trademark scalloped edges which featured heavily in Kane’s Spring 2009 collection.

It’s been hard to maintain a style crush on Leighton Meester recently, as both her looks and make-up have been very questionable.

But here she gets back on track looking sexy, chic and confident pairing her dress with YSL suede ankle boots.

I love everything about this look which grants her the first place in the BDOTW poll.

Leighton Meester hosted a post-New Year’s party at the Venetian in Las Vegas on Saturday night and again she didn’t let us down in the style stakes.

She looked fresh faced wearing a Nina Ricci Resort 2009 layered spaghetti strapped dress with a ruffled asymmetrical skirt.

Her dress was paired with Derek Lam Spring 2010 strappy sandals.

I’ll do my best to pretend that her good run wasn’t spoilt by this lace and taupe pant ensemble at Dusk night club on NYE in Atlantic City.

I could’ve loved it, if it weren’t for those pants.

Many months ago, Marvel told me to keep an eye on Ashley Greene and I’ve been an admirer ever since.

Ashley reminds me at lot of Sophia Bush, who always makes a positive impact on the red carpet.

Her red carpet looks for her new movie “Twilight Saga: New Moon” have been amazing, but her looks for smaller events and TV shows have been just as impressive.

She is making all the right style choices.  Nothing is predictable, too safe, nor boring, nor attention grabbing tacky.

I absolutely adore her teal and black Yigal Azrouël Fall 2009 sleeveless dress, which she wore on Fox’s “Good Day New York” this week.

The pointy sleeves are interesting, the colour is intriguing and the length is perfect. There is nothing I don’t love about this look.

Ashley Greene is the December 2009 cover girl for lads mag Maxim.

She could have done what most Maxim cover girls do and wear a bandage dress, but the stylish actress selected a black ruched Nicole Miller Spring 2010 dress accented with bold print shoulders.

The runway heels and bare legs would have perfected this look for me, but instead Ashley wore tights and carried a lime green satin geometric Bally clutch.

She’s definitely one to continue to watch.

It’s been a busy few days for Rihanna.

We start with her appearance at Best Buy in Union Square, New York where she signed copies of her new album “Rated R” and posed for pictures with fans.

She wore a strapless black jumpsuit featuring a draped detail, but it was the heels I was more interested in.

The singer wore a pair of Diego Dolcini origami satin peep-toe pumps.

The shoes are accented with a large leather origami-style rosette in metallic shades of gold, copper and silver.

It was the perfect accessory to add a bit of pizazz to her black ensemble.

Although I couldn’t find the exact version of Rihanna’s heels Luisa via Roma and farfetch.com both have a similar version.

For Rihanna’s appearance on ABC’s “Good Morning America” she wore less impressive heels, but the focus this time was on her Dean Quinn white blazer accented with bugle beads.

On her recent visit to London Rihanna must checked out a lot of our up-and-coming designers because she recently wore David Koma, now she’s wearing a piece from another Central St Martins graduate Dean Quinn.

This blazer was part of his 2009 graduate show consisting of 6 black and white pieces.

The bugle beads have very much become his signature as they were used on all 6 pieces.

You can check out his collection at Dean Quinn.com.

Rihanna was all smiles when she arrived at the Ed Sullivan Theatre for her appearance on the “Late Show With David Letterman”.

What stood out on this occasion were her Alexander McQueen fold-down boots from the Fall 2009 collection.

These heels are very distinctive by the black and white houndstooth material which was heavily featured in McQueen’s Fall 2009 collection.

The final stop on Rihanna’s promotional tour yesterday was her “Rated R” Album Release Party at Juliet Supperclub.

The singer may have been fatigued after a long day, as she kept her sunglasses on whilst walking the red carpet.

It was that or she was worried she would poke her eye out on her spiked gold mini dress by design duo The Blonds.

This was my least favourite look as there’s too much gold from the hair, to the dress, to the spiked heels.

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.

Click here to check out her YSL ‘Easy’ boots which she wore on Alexa Chung’s show this week.
