Agyness Deyn seems less annoying lately, mostly because she isn’t shoved in my face 24/7.

The model wore a gunmetal grey Giles Fall 2009 ultra mini dress, on a very mild evening in London, whilst carrying a blue House of Holland bag in the shape of a Monopoly house.

The super, who is only 5ft 8in, looks super-sized wearing a pair of black and white Christian Louboutin Differa sandals.

The berry shade of lippie doesn’t work for me, but was the right choice for her overall look, unlike her bubble gum pink nails.

Christopher Kane’s designs are so unique and so well structured, I’m surprised we don’t see more of his pieces on the red carpet.

Yasmin le Bon wore a nude Christopher Kane high neckline dress from his Spring 2009 collection, which is detailed with horizontal and vertical black leather scallops covering the dress.

The exquisite detail of this show-piece makes a very strong style statement, and I’m glad Yasmin pulls this of so effortlessly.

A fabulous dress, needs fabulous heels, and Yasmin doesn’t disappoint in that department either, wearing a stunning pair of Christian Dior Spring 2009 heels.

I don’t tend to find socialites very interesting, but I love Poppy Delevigne’s Chanel Spring 2009 gown.

She’s totally breath-taking, as she wears the gown which just an elegant grace, that she totally puts the model in the shade.

I much prefer the gown, without the brooch chain detail.

Erin O’Connor was a regal as ever, wearing black Temperley London Fall 2009 gown, with gold embroidered details.  She opted out of wearing the sari, which was presented on the runway.

Stella McCartney is so ahead of the game, I think it’s safe to assume that this glorious floral confection, with bold shoulders, and sculptural hips will be part of her Spring 2010 collection

Her shoes are also pretty spectacular, but they look like they’d pinch after a while.

Regardless, they are on my wish list. I like a good challenge.

I normally love what Beth wears, but this string vest look, I can’t get on board with.

Beth joins a long list of stars who have fallen for the ever so lust worthy Louis Vuitton Spicy heels.

All I can say about Alexa Chung is, I like her pink Chanel bag. The rest is to be expected, especially her two-tone hair.

I wasn’t crazy about Freida Pinto’s Elle Style Awards Chanel dress, but this white Chanel dress I LOVE.

The beauty is in it’s chicness, the bold brooches, and the origami sleeves. Outstanding.

Best Dress Of The Week candidate for sure.

Bond Girl, Olga Kurylenko wore Chanel Spring 2009 ensemble, which included a black bowed detailed sleeveless blush pink blouse.

The look has no wow factor, but that doesn’t stop her from looking absolutely beautiful.

Kate Moss made a rare fashion week front row appearance for Chanel, sitting alongside her boyfriend Jamie Hince, and photographer Mario Testino.

The supermodel kept her look simple wearing a black tuxedo suit, which had a white trim on the pants, with black platform heels.

I have never quite understood how the Chanel-Lily Allen connection came about. On paper, it doesn’t seem like a great fit. But she does pick great pieces, that suit her personality, like this Chanel Resort 2009 pink and navy dress.

Her look is complete with Louboutin’s and white Chanel purse.

Claudia Schiffer look is very Librarian for someone who is wearing head to toe Chanel.

After offending a very small number of in Herve Leger, Beth Ditto opted for a more sombre look when she arrived at the Chanel shoe this afternoon.

Beth Ditto is fearless.

I have long been a supporter of Beth Ditto. She has no desire to be a size 0, she doesn’t hide behind black, plus she’s happy and secure about herself, and her size.

I have a Herve Leger dress, which I have worn once. I was so self conscious about wearing it, I never wore it again, because I felt really naked. So I have NOTHING but respect for Beth when she wore this dress to Stella McCartney’s Fall 2009 presentation this afternoon.

I know a lot of you will disagree with me.

Rock on Beth. Rock on.

Capital Radio Hosts ‘Jingle Bell Ball’, London

I simply adore Rihanna’s look here. The black tapered trousered jumpsuit has a touch of masculinity about it, which she pulls off very well, and the Burberry Prorsum Fall 2008 statement necklace is a perfect compliment.

I still have issues with the hair, but hopefully this will change in 2009.

Sugababes performed at this event wearing a lot of sequins to help the sparkle on stage.

Prior to their performance, they walked the red carpet. Keisha Buchanan, wore a black Herve Leger dress, with a Aminaka Wilmont pleated leather jacket.

The futuristic jacket has pleated wings on the shoulders.

Anastasia is much better than this mini dress suggests. I also really dislike the eye make-up.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee’s Banquet, Oslo

I love the red accessories with Scarlett Johansson dark champagne dress, but I have issues with the dress itself.

The colour is great on her, but the top half looks very busy. I feel like undoing that knot and pulling those loose bit under her arms, behind her back.

Christmas Tea And Treasure Hunt at Royal Academy of Arts, London

I would be interested to hear what you guys think of Beth Ditto’s new bright orange do.

Me? I love it. Beth can do no wrong for me. She totally pulls it off.

The ‘Julie Andrews in the Sound Of Music’ crop also works for me, but the red shoes, not so much.

Coco Chanel once said “Take one thing off before you leave the house”.

Agyness Deyn should have taken this advice, and removed that bright pink headband, because I love everything else, from her Giles Spring 2009 dress, her faux fur coat, but especially her Christian Louboutin Buckle Sandals, which are currently on pre-order in black from Saks.

Hayden Panettiere unfortunately could bring the LA sunshine to this rain soaked event last night, but she did delight in this red empire-waist Moschino Spring 2008 mini dress, with an exaggerated double tiered flounce hem and cap sleeves.

She completed her look with a pair of bronze Christian Louboutin peep-toes.

The Giles Spring 2008 prom-esqe dress Lily Allen was wearing looks very cute, but is decorated with prints of a bleeding Bambi’s. Not so cute.

What is also not so cute is Lily’s hair. I mean is she for real?

Yes it matches her dress, but just does not work in the grand scheme of things. I preferred her dark roots.

She teamed her dress with a pair of multi-blue Louis Vuitton shoes.

TV presenter Alexa Chung opted for a Luella Spring 2008 peasant-style embroidered strapless minidress, with black booties.

Beth Ditto’s Matthew Williamson Fall 2007 dress could not be any louder, but I continue to applaud her for not taking the safe route.

Her gold gladiator heels are by Alexander McQueen.

Estelle wore a chiffon black LBD from the Kristian Aadnevik Spring 2008 collection, with the bust and waist emphasised with sexy leather details. She teamed the dress with a pair of leather Sergio Rossi black lace sandals.

Emma Bunton will never shake off that “baby” tag, but she is all woman in her black beaded J’Aton Couture gown, which had a plunging neckline and a wide patent belt.

The new mum showed off her new chic bobbed hairstyle.

Dannii Minogue also wore a J’Aton Couture gown. Her stunning white gown was beaded throughout.

Danni is either glowing, or she moisturized very well before leaving for this event.

Geri Halliwell channelled her inner glamour-puss in a blue embroidered wet-look gown, complete with a fur boa.

Not a look I would favour, but Geri makes it work.

Mel B was determined to be the Spice Girl who stood out, and did so in this fuchsia v-front gown by Jenny Packham.

The dress is loud and revealing, but I would not expect anything less from her.

Tamara Mellon of Jimmy Choo won Accessories Designer Of The Year wearing a forest green mini Balmain Spring 2008 dress.

Keeley Hawes who won, UK TV Actress Of The Year, wore one of the most one of the most spectacular dresses of the evening.

Her voluminous, corseted cream gown is just a artistic master piece. She teamed the gown with bronze shoes.

Kate Beckinsale was named Film Actress Of The Year and collected her award wearing a chocolate full-length halter-neck Herve Leroux gown, with her hair loosely tied-up.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, the new face for Burberry, looks very elegant in her terracotta gown and fur boa.

Kelly Osbourne opted for a vintage embroidered gown, from her mothers collection.

Joanna Page, winner of Comedy Actress of The Year, wore a cute silk frilly butterfly print Matthew Williamson Spring 2008 dress.

Kimberly Stewart opted for a short purple satin tunic dress with Miu Miu heels.

With her Jimmy Choo Aster snakeskin sandals, Katherine Jenkins wore this Hervé Léger Color block bandage dress.

This is a huge change for Katherine, as we are used to seeing her in structured dresses or cute frilly dresses. I would have preferred if she had opted for a more wild and adventurous hair style to fit the dress.

Model Daisy Lowe wore a strapless squared tulip dress and red shoes, whilst her beau Mark Ronson, opted for a classic velvet tuxedo. They are so hip it hurts.

Ferne Cotton wore a black silk Moschino minidress with Jimmy Choo heels that had a fuschia platform and heel.

Britain’s Next Top Model judge Lisa Snowdon, wore a very interesting tuxedo-style mini dress.

Annie Lennox won the Inspiration Award and was very much the golden girl in her sequined dress.

Alexander McQueen Store Opening, LA

None has dared to wear this pink and violet ombre deep plunging Alexander McQueen Spring 2008 kimono sleeved dress on the red carpet until now. And thank god it was someone with a big personality like Janet Jackson.

I am not usually a fan of Janet Jackson’s style, but she totally owns this dress, were many would have been dwarf by it.

I LOVE Beth Ditto in this multi-coloured Alexander McQueen Spring 2008 gown.

Beth is fearless when it comes to fashion. She always looks amazing, and this is mostly due to the amazing confidence she has.

Elizabeth Banks looks very sexy in this hot pink and black leather Alexander McQueen Spring 2008 cocktail dress.

The skirt has various cut outs, to make this dress a little kinky.

Eve in all white shows off her a Union Jack Alexander McQueen Patent skull clutch. Only 17 of the $2000 Union Jack clutches were produced especially for the L.A. flagship. I am guessing they are all gone by now.

She also wore her much loved (and worn) gold YSL tribute platform sandals.

Joy Bryant is as striking as ever in this zebra print ombre Alexander McQueen strapless gown.

Natalie Maines is sexy, yet sophisticated in this black Alexander McQueen Spring 2008 skirt suit.

I especially love the beautifully constructed shoulders and the fushica/black belt.

Tracee Ellis Ross wears a blue floral dress with a tan belt, and the much coveted Givenchy open toe shoe boots.

TV presenter Cat Deeley is below par in this white lace dress.

Women’s Health “Down To Earth” Event, New York

The elastic belt on this Proenza Schouler Spring 2008 geometric print top adds definition to Chloe Sevigny’s tiny waist. The quirky actress adds a black full skirt leather boots and a black clutch.

CW Network 2008 Upfronts, New York

Blake Lively’s necklaces spice up this gold taffeta Dolce & Gabbana sheath dress. Strappy sandals would have worked so much better than those brown pumps.

Leighton Meester looks strike a pose in her multi-coloured Chloé Spring 2008 tunic dress. The stunning sleeveless dress has crisscross detail at the back for added sex appeal.

Leighton wore her dress with a pair of black Givenchy heels and a croc Chloé Spring 2008 clutch.

Michelle Trachtenberg keeps it simple in a LBD.

Taylor Momsen opted for a floaty tunic dress with nude strappy sandals.

Tyra Banks shows off her wonderful curves in this empire waist plunge neck dress, with a large tan belt.

Entertainment Weekly/Vavoom Upfront Party, New York

Blake Lively wore the same dress to the CW Network 2008 Upfronts event, as she did to this party, but her cast-mates had the sense to change.

Leighton Meester wore this beautiful embellished black tiered Temperley London Fall 2008 dress with a electric blue pair of Christian Louboutin Decolzep Platform Pumps.

Taylor Momsen opted for a neon yellow bubble hemmed dress, with the same nude shoes as before.

Michelle Trachtenberg wore this beautiful sequined dress, but she ruined her look with the tights.

Sara Ramirez is a knock-out in her David Meister coral charmeuse dress. The printed strapless silk dress is beautifully gathered at the bodice for added detail.

The stunning actress wore her dress with silver satin peep-toes and a dove grey Mary Norton clutch.

Actress Dania Ramirez went slightly OTT in this strapless mini Elsie Katz Couture Spring 2008 tutu of chrysanthemum brocade, with rulled petticoat and hand-formed crystal beaded blossoms, but she works it well.

Model Lydia Hearst wore a backless hot pink silk crepe Marc Jacobs Spring 2008 dress with baby pink with shorts which are inserted into the dress.

“Made of Honor” Premiere, Paris



I especially love the skirt of Michelle Monaghan’s strapless belted navy Valentino Fall 2008 dress.

“Made of Honor” Premiere, Berlin

This skirt on Michelle Monaghan’s Dolce & Gabbana dress is even more interesting, as it is slightly ballooned, giving Michelle a very interesting shape.

What I don’t like is the nude panel on the front of the dress. Michelle should have dared to go without it, and had a deep plunging neckline.

Modern Bride’s “25 Trendsetters of 2008″ Awards Dinner, New York

Leighton Meester is having a fantastic week. This time she is wearing a emerald green Lanvin-esqe type dress, with the asymmetric ruffled neckline, but this dress is actually Monique Lhuillier Pre-Fall 2008. Thanks Connie.

We have not seen Sara Ramirez on the red carpet for a while, and she returns with two hot dresses. This dress is also by David Meister, but this one-shouldered bandage dress is even sexier than the first.

The fabric caresses and molds Sara’s incredible curves.

MTV TRL, New York

I am losing count of Leighton Meester amazing wardrobe changes this week, but she has not put a foot wrong.

She does casual chic, as she does high red carpet glamour with equal brilliance.
