Many regular readers know me so well, but I think I know a lot of you regular commenter’s too.

I will guess some of you: David, T, Leo, Robbie and Whitestroke, will hate this, but Zoe aka drinksupfashion, and maybe Freida Fan will love it.

There is always a great fashion debate when I comes to Beyonce, and I’m sure her wearing this Balmain Crystal-embellished canvas jacket from the Spring 2009 collection, will prove no different.

I personally love it, she wears it well, and most importantly she doesn’t try to over dress it like Rihanna would.

Rihanna would have worn the studded heels, and ripped jeans with this look, just to force down our throats how ‘fashionable’ and ‘edgy’ she is.


Beyonce wore this jacket when she enjoyed a romantic evening with her husband in New York last night, whilst carrying a Vera Wang bag.

The black cotton blazer has jeweled Seargeant Pepper detailing, a metal and crystal detailing on the collar, shoulders, cuffs and on the front.

What I love are the classic military asymmetrical front closures with heavy jeweled detailing, and of course the sculpted shoulders.

Somethings got me wishing Michael Jackson would have worn this jacket first. It has his name written all over it.

You can buy this extravagant jacket from Net-A-Porter’s US site for $11,410.

Drew Barrymore dropped by Live with Regis and Kelly to promote her latest film Grey Gardens in New York yesterday.

The actress wore a striped Narciso Rodriguez Spring 2009 asymmetrical dress, which instantly gives the fun loving actress, a grown up look.

We’re used to seeing braids with a more relaxed style of dress, but Drew makes the look work.

She adds a hint of sex appeal to her fresh look, with ruby red lips and matching Miu Miu Whipstitch patent slingbacks.

This is a first time I have ever done a runway comparison with a male celebrity.

When it comes to Michael Jackson, I thought he was done shocking me, but when I saw this picture of him leaving a meeting in LA last week wearing a Balmain Fall 2009 black and silver embellished top, my jaw hit the floor.

Even female celebs would find it hard to get their hands on pieces from this coveted Fall 2009 collection.

After this collection was presented, a few journalists had said 80s Michael Jackson must have been the inspiration for this collection, with the crystal-studded jackets and disco mini-dresses. I guess they were right.

I wonder what he will wear next.

It has been so long since we last saw Victoria Beckham use the sidewalk as her catwalk, that I was starting to think like the rest of us, she was tightening her Fendi belt.

I was wrong because Victoria was back in her playground – shopping – in Milan this afternoon.

The fashion designer was spotted in Emporio Armani – the brand who she modeled for – wearing Balmain.

Both her leather jacket, and black tie-dye skinny jeans were from the Spring 2009 collection, whilst she carried her favourite Hermes bag.

Time for a new ‘do Mrs B.

My mother always says be careful what you wish for.

I always say I hate celebs always wearing black, and pray that they incorporate more colour into their closets, now Katy Perry has done so…and then some.

The feisty singer was spotted leaving her concert at The Fillmore in New York last night wearing the multi-coloured Japanese-style printed Basso & Brooke Spring 2009 pant suit, with her taupe BE&G bag.

I don’t know about you, but I think she looks great. It’s a bold print, and she’s not shying away from it.

The runway platforms would have been preferred to the ballet flats, but she still works it with the flats, so kudos to her.

On Saturday night Victoria Beckham and Kate Beckinsale had a girls night out, as they dined at Scotts Restaurant in London.

I have been dying for Victoria to wear something bright and colourful for a while, so I am glad she answered my prayers, wearing this fuchsia pink Antonio Berardi Spring 2009 mini dress.


With her pixie crop slicked back, Victoria completed her look with Giorgio Armani black heels, and a gorgeous Chanel CC Punk clutch. Isn’t it divine? ♥

Jet-setter Victoria Beckham is now in London, after a brief stay in Milan.

She has been seen around town taking several meetings, no doubt already starting work in her Spring 2010 collection.

This morning she was spotted leaving Claridges Hotel very much in the navy.

Her super stylish all-navy ensemble including a cardigan, a top, slim fitted dVb jeans, a military-style cap and Louis Vuitton heels.

Mrs Matchy-matchy did well to get a pair of heels to match her look.

Fierce as ever VB.
