Michelle Tractenberg appears to have attended the School of Overdressing, as taught by Kate Beckinsale, who’s former student included Emmy Rossum.

She looks great, don’t get me wrong. But this gorgeous eggplant strapless Marchesa dress with a bejeweled bow detail, is a classic case of right dress, wrong occasion.

One thing you can always predict, is that Amanda Bynes will be predictable on the red carpet.

LBD - Check.
YSL Trib Two’s - Check.
Never changing hairstyle - Check.

Allison Miller goes for a sweet, yet chic Brian Reyes Resort 2009 dress.

Her look was teamed with a Kara Ross clutch, Sergio Rossi metallic t-bar heels, and Ikat jewelry.

I was loving Monique Coleman’s look until I saw the wardrobe malfunction on the zipper of her pants.

Brittany Snow’s look has a spring-time feeling to it, with the pale yellow mini Erin Fetherston chiffon dress, and tie-dye cropped jacket, but the black strappy Jimmy Choo heels ruin this look for me.

Leslie Mann opted for an above-the-knee cream chiffon Zac Posen dress, with a cute ruffled neckline.

Drew Barrymore took a style step back in time last night, channeling old school Hollywood glamour, for the long-awaited premiere of Grey Gardens.

She glistened wearing in a floor length Alberta Ferretti nude gown, adorned with thousands of crystal beads.

The finishing touches are what really made her shine in this look.

I loved the marcel waves, and the side swept pin curls topped off with a netted flower hair piece. The bejeweled Roger Vivier clutch perfectly complimented her stunning gown.

At the after-party Drew wore a fur stole, which really made me fall even more in love with this look.

The berry lip really pops. She is the only person to make me swoon this week.

Jeanne Tripplehorn opted for a navy Carolina Herrera Resort 2009 one-shouldered gown, with white polka dots.

Her sophisticated look was complete with a white box clutch.

Jessica Lange’s grey J. Mendel gown, with cap sleeves, and an embroidered empire-waist was stunning. The actress, who is not a fan of walking the red carpet, really glowed.

Speaking of glowing, model Selita Ebanks stood out in this highlighter pink fitted RM by Roland Mouret dress.

I love the dress, and the snake skin Louboutin pumps, but I’m not crazy about her Subversive necklace.

When I posted Miley Cyrus’ Teen Vogue editorial, a lot of you found it very contrived. Mostly because we aren’t so used to seeing Miley as she is - a teenager.

Miley wore a figure hugging, one-shouldered Missoni Resort 2009 mini dress, to the Nashville screening of her movie Hannah Montana last night, totally contradicting what Teen Vogue were trying to achieve..

Miley is always on that very fine line of age appropriateness. If I was her mother, I would have told her to change.

Cute dress though.


Always on the right side of age appropriateness is Taylor Swift.

The singer often wears big names like Naeem Khan and Badgley Mischka, but on this occasion she wore a cute white French Connection Garden dress.

The sleeveless shift dress has a floral embroidered, sequined and beaded detail on the bodice, waist and hem.

The look was complete with her trademark curls, and metallic peep-toes.

I love this dress so much, I have to buy it. You can too, from French Connection for £160/$248.

All eyes were on Audrey Tautou at the Paris premiere for Coco Avant Chanel, which took place last night.

Audrey stars as Gabrielle Chanel, known as Coco, before she became famous. The film, of course, features dresses from the Chanel collection. Karl Lagerfeld, Creative Director of the House of Chanel, supervised the re-creation of costumes and accessories, so we will have a magically journey through the archives.

At the premiere Audrey was, as you would expect, dressed in Chanel. Her strapless black and white floral print dress was from the Spring 2009 Couture collection.

The wonderfully chic actress wore her dress with a leather jacket, and Sergio Rossi back zip gladiator sandals. It’s hard to tell with her jacket, but her dress seems less voluminous in the hip area, than it appeared on the runway. Nevertheless, Audrey looks outstanding.


Coco Avant Chanel premieres in France on April 22, the rest of the world is yet to be announced.

Normally there is always something I dislike about what Miley Cyrus wears, but on this occasion I can’t hate. I think it’s the right mix of her being stylish, young and fun. Something I don’t think I’ve ever said about her look before.

I’ll let you decided on the age appropriateness of this look, but for me it’s not too cheesy, she’s not 16 going on 30, and the leather jacket adds a bit of youth to her fringed teal Alberta Ferretti Spring 2009 dress, with a fringed rope belt.

Oh Taylor, please rub off some of that tremendous style and grace you possess, to your BFF.

Taylor Swift stamps her claim for a a spot on the Best Dressed list, by arriving at the premiere looking outstanding in a black beaded strapless Naeem Khan Fall 2009 dress.

She completed her stunning look with Christian Louboutin Bow T Dorcet heels, and a black Mary Norton clutch.

It was Miley’s night, but Taylor stole her crown.

Emily Osment’s Faviana black one shoulder dress, has a floral embellishment which cascades down the front of her dress and across the bodice.

I do like the dress, as I’m impressed she carried off all that detail, but I really don’t think the shoes are a good fit.

Demi Lovato gets the prize for being the worst dressed at this event. The skirt of that dress looks like ringlets.

How very bizarre. Plus the make-up is not working for me either.

Vanessa Williams never lets me down. She wears another burst of colour on the red carpet with this sunshine yellow ribbed sheath dress.

Her turquoise necklace, nude heels and multi-coloured Carlos Falchi clutch complete the look.

Melora Hardin wore a spring chic Rafael Cennamo white v-front dress. The dress, which she wore with purple peep-toes, was embellished with a light blue floral belt.

She completed her look with an ostrich feathered Mary Norton bag with gold chain strap.

Teri Hatcher goes casual wearing a gorgeous pearl embellished tank with dark wash jeans.

Anne Hathaway looked undeniably gorgeous, as she sparkled in her sequin-covered Valentino pencil dress, with velvet ribbon detailing.

She punched up her look with bright red platform heels, and her megawatt smile.

Gwyneth Paltrow opted for a simple, yet edgy look.

Her grey puff shoulder v-neck Valentino dress, were paired with bandage Christian Louboutin heels, and barely-there make-up.

Gwyneth and Anne must have liked this movie a lot, because they both also attended the New York premiere.

Rachel Zoe wore a strapless asymmetrical dress, with black satin Casadei pumps.

Rose McGowan wore a cute black mini puffball dress, with a silver clutch which complimented the diamante’s on her dress.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, tights ruin everything on the red carpet.

Tracee Ellis Ross looked supremely elegant in her vintage sleeveless top, with Maison Martin Margiela tuxedo pants, and Christian Louboutin heels.

Love those Valentino earrings.

Shenae Grimes was a surprise attendee, opting for a black embellished Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti tunic dress.

Nicky Hilton appears to have aged quite dramatically as a result of this look.

The Fast & Furious promotional tour is still going strong. This week in Moscow the film had yet another European premiere.

Jordana Brewster was glowing wearing a sparkling Reem Acra Fall 2008 floor-length gown, with a black sash and a side split.

If Jordana is trying to make a statement that she is a hot young stylish actress, then this glittering dress, paired with a leather Jenni Kayne jacket and black Jimmy Choo Corsica strappy sandals is definitely the way to go.
