Uber model Iman OWNED this claret Donna Karan sequined halter neck gown when she arrived at the “2009 American Ballet Theatre Fall Gala” in New York City earlier this month.

I loved everything about this look which I named BDOTW, from Iman’s matching lipstick, to her silky hair, to her glowing skin, to her jewels and her supermodel stance.

She was perfection personified and I was sure no one else would follow her in this gown.

Then last night Eva Green walked the red carpet in London to attend a screening of ‘Cracks’ during London Film Festival wearing the same dress.

ONSD…(Oh No She Didn’t)

This is like someone trying to cover a classic Michael Jackson song…it can’t be beaten. Nothing is better than the original, so don’t even try.

OK maybe I’m being over dramatic, but Eva did pick the wrong shade of lipstick for this dress.

Iman wins this by a country mile.

“Precious” New York Premiere

I wish Paula Patton has opted for the metallic version of this Altuzarra Fall 2009 dress. It has more of a wow factor.

Her winklepickers were also a very bad choice.

Never again will I defend Mariah Carey in the ‘boobie’ debate.

Mariah has had some bad looks, but this has to be the WORST.

She look so incredibly tacky and has obviously been inspired by Amanda Bynes because she only wears LBDs lately.

The only thing that deserves a mention are her Jimmy Choo Billie Lizard-Print sandals

2009 Clinton Global Initiative Dinner, New York

Looking like butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth Naomi Campbell look so sweet wearing a Issa Spring 2010 asymmetrical black and white print dress.

Naomi walked for the Issa Spring 2010 show, so she was obviously very taken with this adorable dress.

2009 VH1 Hip Hop Honors, New York

Eve walked this red carpet sporting the very same hairstyle as Rihanna.

She wore fingerless black leather gloves to go with her Helmut Lang Resort 2010 black leather and bondage jersey dress.

I love everything about the look excluding the heels.

Why wear such an interesting sexy dress, if you’re going to pair it with office heels?

“Good Hair” LA Premiere

For this event Eve wore a chocolate brown Charlotte Ronson Deco beading pleated dress.

I love the neckline, her pink lips and the fact that she didn’t wear the runway belt.

The dress is better off without it.

Nia Long sparkled wearing a silver batwing plunging blouse paired with champagne mini shorts.

Her make up flawless and show is her cute bob.

Montblanc Paris Flagship Boutique Launch

Eva Green gives me that old Hollywood glamour that I never tire of.

She wore an aqua Alberta Ferretti gown with draped detailing to accentuate the waist.

Such an elegant look from one we expect to always look so dramatic and gothic.

I love her tousled updo.

Brian Reyes Appearance At Neiman Marcus, LA

Rachel Bilson supported her long time friend Brian Reyes when he made an appearance at Neiman Marcus.

She kept her look very casual wearing in denim cut-offs, a black blazer, and white tank.

Her accessories were more colourful as she carried a scarlet red Jimmy Choo Blythe Tote, and the same leather boots we have seen on Sienna Miller.

“Couples Retreat” Australian Premiere

This is quite an interesting look for Kristen Bell.

We’re so used to seeing her in unstructured laid back looks, but this time she opted for a sleek Preen Peplette technical crepe dress paired with Jimmy Choo heels.

“The Proposal” - Madrid Photocall & Press Conference

I’m in love with Sandra Bullock at the moment as she is giving us so many different flavours of fashion.

At the MTV Movie Awards she gave us a cute mini flirty Abaeté dress.

For The Proposal LA Premiere she wore a slightly edgy Alexander McQueen dress, and for her appearance on the Today Show she wore a fruity Alberta Ferretti floral dress.

Today whilst promoting her latest movie in Madrid she gave us classic look, wearing a Michael Kors chalk pinstripe origami dress from the Spring 2009 collection.

The dress has an artful origami-like pintucked detail which gathers over the skirt creating an elegant draping and volume. I also love the asymmetric hem and the contrasting patent belt.

Her look was paired with a black Azzedine Alaia ankle strap heels.

Immaculate as always.

The Black Eyed Peas New Album Launch Party At VIP Room Theater, Paris

Fergie combined fashion with music on this trip to Paris, as the Black Eyed Peas launched their new album at the VIP Room Theater in Paris last night.

After appearing at the Louis Vuitton Spring 2010 Menswear show yesterday she brought out her sex kitten wild side wearing an Alexander Wang mesh panel dress with some gladiator heels and a large silver cuff.

Montblanc White Nights Festival Reception and Gala Dinner, Russia

Princess of Darkness Eva Green is still sporting red hair, which pops against her black Alberta Ferretti Spring 2009 gown with fringed detailing.

Her tangy orange lips doesn’t really work for me, but I do love her dress and the way it elegantly drapes on her.

“Bruno” Los Angeles Premiere

I have really struggled with Isla Fisher’s looks at the Bruno premiere’s, but there’s something about this green Stella McCartney Fall 2009 dress with a black lace overlay and a white yoke that I’m warming to.

Maybe it’s her glowing tan but I prefer the dress on her to the model on the runway.

Isla’s look is paired with black bamboo Stella McCartney clutch, Bulgari jewels and gold Mechante of London ‘Dita Rose’ python pumps.

Rosario Dawson kept her look simple, yet sophisticated wearing a Narciso Rodriguez LBD with a keyhole detail, a silver cuff and black peep-toes.

No make-up yet still so beautiful.  Some girls have all the luck.

Stephanie Pratt’s aqua one-shoulder draped dress is gorgeous, but she appears to have over-done her bronzer.

Less is more Stephanie.

Christina Ricci wears a slate grey slinky Opening Ceremony dress which is loosely cinched at the waist with gold belt.

The petite star boosts her tiny figure with a fierce pair of ultra-high chunky Lanvin heels.

I’ll guess that she’s not wearing a bra again, but at least we’re not seeing any tell-tale signs.

‘It’s On With Alexa Chung’, New York

Whilst making her way to the MTV studio’s to appear on Alexa Chung’s show, Leighton Meester was spotted wearing a Thakoon Resort 2009 printed dress with Christian Louboutin lace-up booties.

It’s good to see Leighton smiling and back to brunette locks which I much prefer on her.

“Late Show With David Letterman”, New York

Like it wasn’t hot enough yesterday Megan Fox sent temperatures soaring when she arrived at the Ed Sullivan Theater to appear on “Letterman” wearing a LBD by Herve Leroux with Courtney Crawford heels.

I think Megan is starting to get the hang of looking chic and sexy as she stunned wearing her sexy pencil dress with a sheer plunging neckline.

Her make-up was the right shade whilst her luscious brunette locks were swept to one side.

fuse’s “No. 1 Countdown”, New York

Early today Megan sported a very casual look at she appeared on the fuse’s no.1 countdown.

Sporting a biker leather jacket Megan wore a Stella McCartney leopard print tank top with black leggings and purple Brian Atwood “Lola” heels.

May 22nd, 2009

Creating a sensation at the charity benefit, Diane Kruger looked outstanding in a white Chanel Spring 2009 Couture ensemble.

For me it doesn’t have the same impact as her Marchesa gown, which made my heart melt, but she still looks amazing.

I love the square shouldered cropped jacket, the cute black bow - which we know she loves - and the interesting shaped skirt, which reveals a lace lining.

A bejeweled clutch and Louboutin’s complete the look.

With so many great dresses this week, would it be fair to include both Diane’s looks in Best Dressed of the Week?

Only Dita von Teese can get away with wearing a Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2009 Couture dress, with a transparent skirt, revealing her garter.

That’s because she oozes class and chic sophistication. I’m much more inspired by her in this dress, than her previous Dior Couture dress.

I love Marion Cotillard, and her association with Dior is a match made in heaven, but I would have loved something more dramatic from her.

Her pale blue Christian Dior Fall 2009 embroidered gown is gorgeous, as it brightens up her complexion.

You know saying, “Take one thing off before you leave the house”?

Well Paris Hilton should have taken off 3. The headband, the necklace and the bracelet.

Her Basil Soda Spring 2009 Couture gown is already dripping with embellishments around the waist, that she needn’t have over cooked it.

This gown is quite dark and dramatic for Paris. I’m surprised she didn’t pick something more sugary.

Donatella Versace’s modification on her Versace Fall 2009 cornflower blue gown are very subtle.

I prefer her softer blue strapless gown. The bodice is longer, plus it has a fuller skirt.

I’m a constant admirer of how immaculate she always looks.

Michelle Yeoh opted for a purple satin Atelier Versace Fall 2008 gown, with ruffled details on the shoulders, and an open back.

She kept her jewelery minimal, with a few diamonds on the bracelet and earrings.

All my diva’s are going red. First Coco Rocha, now Eva Green. Is red the new black?

I’ve love Eva since she first stepped on the red carpet. She’s such a daredevil when it come to fashion. But on this occasion not so much.

Don’t get me wrong, I love her fuschia pink Christian Dior Fall 2009 Indian inspired gown, with intricate embroidered details, but if ever their was someone to wear one of Dior’s Spring 2009 Couture ball gowns on the red carpet, this was our girl.

Elsa Pataky’s Armani Privé Fall 2008 black and white striped strapless gown, may look a bit tame from the front, but that’s because all the drama is at the back, as it gathers, then falls to a fishtail hem.

There would have been no prizes for guessing that Eva Herzigova would wear Dolce & Gabbana to this event. Much like her supermodel chum Claudia Schiffer.

Her Spring 2009 corseted red dress, had more sass than the runway version. Hers was strapless and shorter, to show off those impossibly long legs.

As much as Lily Cole is wearing a beautiful Emilio Pucci Fall 2009 strapless gown, she fails to excite.

Many of you have remarked that you would love for Georgina Chapman to modify her gowns, to make herself more individual, and stand out from the runway and her clients, like Donatella Versace.

Unfortunately she didn’t hear your pleas on this occasion, because she wore a gold lame Marchesa Spring 2009 asymmetrical gown, as it was presented on the runway, plus the gold Louboutin’s.

Whatever the weather, she always looks outstanding, and here is no exception.

It feels strange calling anything by Chanel casual, but Anna Mouglalis’ blood red Chanel Cruise 2010 satin dress, feels too casual for such an event.

Kudos to her for wearing a piece from this collection, which was only presented last Thursday.

Margherita Missoni represented her family brand in the way she always does, with style and grace.

Her lurex silvery blue Missoni Spring 2009 gown, with a gold waistband, is a modification of the strapless jumpsuit which was presented on the runway.

Her added gold jewelery, and a matching mini clutch were the perfect touches for added glamour.

L’Oreal girl Kerry Washington takes the baton for the final leg of Cannes Film Festival, after Elizabeth Banks, Aishwarya Rai, Eva Longoria, and Evangeline Lilly before represented the brand before her.

Kerry a vision, as always, wearing a strapless deco beaded Marchesa gown, with a gold Bally box clutch.

Hayden Panettiere arrived at this event wearing a gorgeous blush silk chiffon Marchesa dress with similar silver embroidered details to Diane Kruger’s Marchesa gown.

I love the dress, but even in this picture, it feels like the falling train is in the way.

Prior to this event, you would have seen Hayden sunbathing on a yacht, relaxing with friends and topping up her tan. Unfortunately it left unsightly tan lines.

I’m loving the vacation glow, but a hint of lippy would have worked wonders.

Zoe Saldana opted for a nude dress with a gathered detail on the hip, whilst she paired her look with copper accessories.

Sharon Stone has never looked better, but next time she should consider tanning her legs, before opting for a thigh high split. Her arm appears to be a different shade to her legs.

Despite all that the annual host for this event look magnificent wearing an asymmetrical Dior gown, with silver strappy Dior heels.

Claudia Schiffer stays faithful to her boys Dolce & Gabbana, wearing this tulle black bustier gown.

You’ll be happy to see that she’s keeping the bangs for now.

Zhang Ziyi’s ethereal nude gown is so delicious on her. The colour is exquisite, complimenting her skin tone.

Her hair was pulled back off her face to reveal a long earring, and a diamond stud. How very 80s Janet Jackson.

I’m not quite getting the wow factor from Carine Roitfeld, which I got last year, but she still looks fantastic wearing this white Givenchy Couture gown.

I’m wondering has anyone ever seen her with her hair up?

Rinko Kikuchi wears a grey ruffled Chanel Fall 2008 Couture dress, with really heavy clunky heels.

Shu Qi wears my least favourite gown of her Cannes experience.

All good runs come to a crashing end. Case in point Robin Wright Penn in this charcoal spaghetti strapped gown.

December 1st, 2008

I do love it when British actress Sienna Miller and Keira Knightley step onto the red carpet but not together.  This is because they insist on holding each others hands the whole time like they are on a school trip, making it almost impossible to see their ensembles clearly.

That being said Sienna looks amazing wearing a Louis Vuitton Spring 2009 mini black dress with large black paillette details on the shoulders, and brown paillette details cascading down the skirt which has a satin hem.

The dress was equally beautiful from the back, as it is open with a cowl detail.

She completed her look with thick tights and Christian Louboutin heels. I think this maybe one of the few times that I actually like tights on the red carpet.

Keira Knightley wore an interesting black and white high-necked gothic lace Balenciaga dress.

I always like Keira’s choices, because they’re never predictable.

British actress Anna Friel arrived on the red carpet wearing an Erdem Fall 2008 gown. The stunning satin dress has a contrast chiffon yoke, which makes the gown more interesting.

I love the abstract print of the bees, birds and butterfly design. I have the short version on my Net-A-Porter wish list.

She compliments her dress with a red clutch.

Eva Green will always be faithful to John Galliano, but every now and again she will cheat on him with Alexander McQueen.

The French actress arrived on the red carpet wearing a red velvet Alexander McQueen puff sleeve velvet dress with an empire line and a gathered hem.

She completed her look with Alexander McQueen burgundy square toe pumps, and an Alexander McQueen Union Jack clutch.

November 17th, 2008

Christian Dior & Chinese Artists, China

Charlize Theron arrived with the John Galliano, the designer of her custom-made Dior gown.

The actress looked absolute stunning, as she sparkled in the strapless gold sequin gown, which she teamed with gold accessories.

Note how she is looking at Galliano with admiration. I would too if he made me custom gowns that made me look that amazing.

Eva Green stayed away from her usual black, to wear this lime green Christian Dior Resort 2009 gown with embellished detailing on the neckline.

For me this is not one of Eva’s best looks, and the make-up is too heavy for such a brightly coloured dress.

Marion Cotillard who is the new face of Dior Bags, arrived on the red carpet wearing a fuchsia pink Christian Dior dress with matching shoes.

We have not seen much of Marion on the red carpet since her Oscar win, back in February, so it’s great to see her on the red carpet again.

“Quantum Of Solace” Premiere, Sydney

Olga Kurylenko looked drop dead gorgeous once again, showing off her long legs in a silver paillette covered mini Collette Dinnigan Spring 2009 low waist dress with metallic peep-toe Jimmy Choo’s.

Her hair was a tad mumsy, I would have loved her hair to have been pulled back in this dress.

Actor Daniel Craig and partner Satsuki Mitchell are such a beautiful couple.

Satsuki opted for a lime green satin gown which graduated with each layers to chartreuse at the hem. The dress had a plunging neckline and a long train.

The jewel tones on her clutch, matched the layers on her gorgeous gown.

MTV’s TRL “Total Finale Live”, New York

Vanessa Minnillo stood out the most at this event wearing a blue Tracy Reese strapless bow dress with white stars all over.

She wore her dress with silver star earrings and t-bar black sandals.

Beyonce performed her hits singles ‘If I Were a Boy’, ‘Single Ladies’, and ‘Crazy in Love’ during the final TRL show.

The single was looked amazing wearing a 3/4 length sleeved embroidered leather Alexander McQueen Fall 2008 jacket and skin-tight leather pants.

Every day her style choices get a little bit better. I guess now that she is married, she no longer feels the need to take style advice from her mother. THANK GOD.

Your Best Dressed last week, Taylor Swift, wore a black Shoshanna asymmetrical dress, with pleating at empire waist.

The curly haired singer wore her dress with black booties.

Hilary Duff surprised me wearing a black mini dress, with a sheer overlay, which she wore with a wide black belt.

This is a daring look for the young singer.

I adore her earrings.

“Billy Elliot The Musical” Opening Night, New York

Rachel Weisz arrived at the Billy Elliot The Musical opening night on Broadway wearing a Marc Jacobs Spring 2008 metallic embroidered shift dress with black pumps.

The British actress continues to shine on the red carpet.

The Hugo Boss Prize 2008, New York

Julianne Moore, one of the pioneers of the navy dress trend, wore a ruffled front navy Boss Black dress with black YSL Tribute Sandals to this event.
