There are many things that fit together perfectly.

Georgina Chapman and Marchesea, Renee Zellweger and Carolina Herrera, Victoria Beckham and Victoria Beckham Collection, Charlize Theron and Dior and Kylie Minogue and Jean Paul Gaultier.

Kylie was in San Francisco last night for the opening night of her US Tour at the Fox Oakland Theatre.

The pint-sized pop princess has worn Jean Paul Gaultier for many of her tours and her current “For You For Me US Tour” is no exception.

Her looks include a sexy silver corset paired with Giuseppe Zanotti heels, jeweled cuffs and a globe headpiece.

Here she wears a Jean Paul Gaultier Fall 2009 couture sparkling mini dress, a leather vest and Christian Louboutin Supra Fifre thigh-high boots.

This stunning shimmering Jean Paul Gaultier Fall 2009 Couture silver halter-neck gown has an ombre gold hem.

A sparkling black leotard is paired with two-tone tights.

A white Jean Paul Gaultier gown was paired with a Sergent’s hats, followed by a sexy Madonna-esqe coned Jean Paul Gaultier bustier paired with leather gloves, a spikey headpiece and thigh-thigh Louboutin.

Each look is more dramatic than the previous. She knows how to dazzle the crowd.

The rest of her tour dates are as follows:

1st October Fox Theater Oakland, (San Francisco Bay Area)
3rd October The Pearl Palms Resort & Casino, Las Vegas
4th October Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles
7th October The Congress Theater, Chicago
9th October Air Canada Centre, Toronto
11th October Hammerstein Ballroom, NYC, NY
12th October Hammerstein Ballroom, NYC, NY
13th October Hammerstein Ballroom, NYC, NY

Last week Cheryl Cole and her Girls Aloud band mates put on a spellbinding show at London’s Wembley Stadium supporting Coldplay.

I thought Girls Aloud supporting Coldplay was a bit strange as their music couldn’t be more different, but Chris Martin had been speaking of his admiration for Girls Aloud in an interview with Q magazine back in July.

The girls set list included their mega hits ‘Sound of the Underground’, ‘Biology’, ‘Love Machine’ and my favourite ‘Something Kinda Ooooh’.

The girls all looks beautiful wearing gorgeous pastel Preen dresses which had been modified from the runway.

Only Kimberly Walsh’s (second from the left) dress has stayed true to it’s original colour scheme, and was no doubt the inspiration for the rest of the modifications.

Do you prefer the modified dresses or the originals?

The ALMA Awards aired last night, and here are the stunning gowns Eva Longoria wore.

Last year she changed 8 times during the night.  This time only 7 changes.

You’ll recognise the first gown because Emily Deschanel wore the strapless version of this stunning tulle Gustavo Cadile Fall 2009 gown at the 2009 Monte Carlo Television Festival Closing Ceremony.

The main difference is that Eva’s gown has been modified to become a one-shouldered gown with a contrast eggplant sash.

I adore this gown from the colour to the tiered skirt, and I’ve been in love with it from the very second I saw it in Cadile’s showroom.

Her second gown was also by Gustavo Cadile. This time she picked a luscious green gown from his Resort 2010 collection.

This gown also has a one-shoulder detail with a fan over her shoulder for added dramatic effect to the volume of the piece.

I don’t ever remember Eva wearing green before, but the colour is vibrant and really pops against her skin.

Eva’s next look was an Angel Sanchez Bridal Spring 2009 gown.

Thankfully this one-shoulder gown doesn’t have a sickly sweet bridal feel to it, as its quite simple with just bow detail on the bodice.

She gives this look an old Hollywood feel with her retro 50s hairstyle.

I’m really disappointed I couldn’t find a full-length version of Eva’s Carlos Miele Fall 2009 gown, as I think it would have looked spectacular on her with the dual prints and the chiffon flowing train.

Those hooped earrings are huge.

I would go as far as to say this Caroline Herrera Fall 2009 gown was my least favourite of the Fall 2009 season, and I dislike it even more on Eva.

It does nothing for her.

The other gowns brings colour, texture and vitality – this is just grey, dull, and unflattering for Eva.

Oscar de la Renta gowns were the 2 final looks for Eva on the night.

I love the blush gown with the sequin overlay. This kind of colour I really allows Eva to glow.

The black and white floral gown feels like it is swamping Eva with the 2 layers. This would be my second least favourite after the Herrera horror.

Megan Fox didn’t walk the red carpet at the VMAs last night, as she was there only to present an award.

The actress purred her way through her segment wearing a black and white Antonio Berardi Fall 2009 – of course – mini dress.

I loved this dress when I saw it on the runway, with its white asymmetrical bodice and black tulip skirt.

It’s cute, fun, fresh and so very chic.

The picture is not doing Megan any favours because she looked better on TV.

M.I.A. got animalistic wearing a colourful leopard print Jean Charles de Castelbajac Fall 2009 dress covered in sequins.

Jean Charles de Castelbajac’s Fall 2009 collection was full of muppet inspired pieces, so I’m surprised M.I.A. didn’t opt for one of those.

This bold look was worn with black leggings when the singer performed her energetic set at the “2009 Outside Lands Music Festival” at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco on Sunday.

M.I.A. covered the Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage” and “Intergalactic,” and performed a new track called “Born Free.”

Do you fancy modeling for Jean Charles de Castelbajac?

Jean Charles de Castelbajac is looking for ‘real people’ to model in his London Fashion Week Show.

The designer is launching his diffusion collection JC/DC at the event, so if you’re between 16-25 and you think you’ve got what it takes to impress the fashion pack then send Jean your photo and stats to rsvpcasting@jc-de-castelbajac.com by Monday 7th September.

When it comes to performing on stage Celine Dion loves to wear Balmain. Beyonce is currently touring wearing Thierry Mugler, and Kylie is usually known for performing in Jean Paul Gaultier, but recently she has rotated between Balmain and Dolce & Gabbana.

Kylie Minogue proved she still has a killer figure as she took to the stage at Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas in Madrid last week for an MTV event.

She looked as stunning as ever this time wearing a black Givenchy Spring 2009 embellished cold-shoulder top with fishnet tights and the must-have of the Fall season – thigh-high boots.

She completed the look with a scarlet pout and a Phantom of the Opera-style glittering mask.

Kylie wowed the crowds as she belted out her greatest hits, including “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head”, “In Your Eyes” and her latest hit “Wow”.

The Princess of Pop has never looked better.

Jessica Simpson sang the national anthem before the hitting of the ceremonial first tee to open the AT&T National PGA golf tournament at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland today.

Her beau Tony Romo, teed off in a group with Tiger Woods first thing this morning.

The media have already started ripping into Jessica for wearing this Michael Kors Spring 2009 fitted dress because of her weight and the horizontal stripes. *eyeroll*

I think she looks great. Yes she’s put on some weight but she’s in portion, she’s healthy, happy and brimming with confidence.

I would kill for her breasts, and many other women would too.

I fell out of love with Jess when she broke up with Nick – I LOVED Newlyweds – but she’s starting to grow on me again.

You may remember Anna Faris wearing this same dress on a photo shoot in LA earlier this year.
