The YSL Trib Two shoe is no doubt the most worn shoe of the season, but when everyone from Kourtney Kardashian to Lily Allen starts wearing them, they start to lose their sparkle.

Another popular shoe, that has not lost any of its sparkle, are the Balenciaga Fall 2008 pointy stilettos and boots.

The futuristic pointy silver/grey/white stiletto is very sexy and looks great with any ensemble.

What you may not know is that the shoes are actually designed by Pierre Hardy for his friend and designer Nicolas Ghesquière at Balenciaga.



Of course two of the most well-known fashionistas, Sarah Jessica Parker and Victoria Beckham, are loving these heels.

SJP prefers the pointy ankle boot, whereas Victoria prefers the leg lengthening cut-out stiletto.



SJP and Victoria are not the only celebs who have been wearing these heels.

Ciara also has the same boots as SJP, whereas Heidi Klum, Rocsi from BET, Selita Ebanks and most recently Taylor Momsen, have all been wearing the strappy stiletto.

The strappy stiletto are sold out online, but I did managed to prevent myself from buying a pair from Selfridges this weekend.

Browns Fashion have the boots, which come in a different combination of colours to the ones we have seen on the red carpet.

They have the grey, silver and black version, and are available to buy from BrownsFashion.com for $971.80/€765.15/£630.

The short ankle boot has a zip fastening on the side, a rubber platform sole and a neon tip, which sits on the pointed toe.

Last night for the Madrid premiere of Australia, I felt my second low in a row with Nicole Kidman wearing this golden Prada Spring 2009 mini dress.

I love the colour on her, as it really makes her glow, but the dress itself is just so blah.

It does not do anything, it does not say anything, and it looks like it has been pressed from the runway version and that was the appeal of the runway dress.

It looks like Nicole did not wear the heels that the Prada models wear falling over wearing on the runway, instead she opted for matching peep-toes with bows on the side.

I have high hopes for the London premiere.

Beyonce Knowles looks absolutely stunning when she took to the red carpet for the New York premiere of Cadillac Records on Monday night.

The singer/actress walked the red carpet wearing a outstanding Zuhair Murad Fall 2008 gown, which hugged every curve.

The haltered gown had a lurex bodice, beaded skirt and a long lurex train.

OK the dress is very much what you would expect from Mrs Carter, but sometimes it’s best to stick to a tried and trusted style, especially if the results are as outstanding as this.

She was almost a perfect 10, but my only criticism would be of her hair. I have not quite understood this need to wear it as high as that.

Others in attendance were Beyonce’s co-star Adrien Brody, as well as her mother Tina, Sean “Diddy” Combs and Gabrielle Union.

A lot of you have been very critical of Nicole Kidman’s style, whereas I have been a strong campaigner, but tonight I must admit I was very disappointed with her Dries Van Noten Spring 2009 coat dress.

First the honeycomb silver sequins remind me too much of the dress she wore to the New York premiere last week, and I was expecting something fresh new.

There was no wow factor, which I usually have when I see Nicole, and I really disliked her hair pulled back.

The only thing that works for me are here Pierre Hardy heels.

Diane Kruger brought her usual glamour to the Pour Elle premiere in Paris over the weekend.

She look very sophisticated wearing an ivory Giambattista Valli Spring 2009 3/4 sleeved dress with a very voluminous skirt.

Jennifer Morrison has also worn a Giambattista Valli Spring 2009 dress, but her skirt was less voluminous from the runway version, so I applaud Diane for keeping her dress true to the runway.

Diane’s make-up was kept light and neutral, but her pumps were a vibrant red velvet.

I love the side view. If I was wearing this dress, I would be tempted to ask people, “Does my bum look big in this?”

Sorry for the back to back Olga Kurylenko posts, but these pictures were just posted onto the picture agencies, and I could not wait another second to post.

Olga arrived at the Quantum of Solace Japan Premiere in Tokyo today wearing a black Chanel Fall 2006 Couture gown.

The haltered gown had a fish scale-like black and white sequined bodice, with a tulle layered skirt, and a tulle train which starts from her shoulders and then cascades down her back.

I don’t know if I am in the minority, but I am not crazy about this gown, as it does not do anything for her, or maybe she doesn’t do anything for it.

But onto the real issue.

The hair. I mean what the…?

Did no one tell Olga that Juliette Lewis could have been Mrs Juliette Pitt if she had not worn cornrows on the red carpet?

For those of you too young to remember Juliette Lewis used to date Brad Pitt. They walked the red carpet at the 1992 Academy Awards were she wore a stunning white beaded gown and cornrows in her hair.

Needless to say the relationship fizzled out after this.

Why Olga? Whhhyyyyyy?

Beyonce Knowles arrived on the red carpet for the premiere of her latest movie Cadillac Records, at The Egyptian Theater in LA on Monday night.

The singer/actress wore a black velvet Dolce & Gabbana dress with a black satin yoke and puff sleeves. Her jeweled ribboned belt was from the Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2009 collection.

Her dress appears to be a watered down version of the runway dress. I wish she had been bold enough to wear the runway dress, Sasha would have pulled it off.

She completed her look with jewel-encrusted Brian Atwood heels.
