Elle Fashion Star, Berlin

For a fairly uneventful weekend Claudia Schiffer brought out the high glamour, wearing ice silver sequined tiered Chanel Couture Spring 2008 off-the-shoulder gown.

The German supermodel wore her dress with a starred necklace and silver satin peep-toes.

This is a very mumsy look for Kim Cattrall. Not a look we are used to seeing on the Sex And The City star.

I although I have started to tire of celebs wearing Herve Leger to every event, Hayden Panettiere looks so cute and very pretty in her pink body-con dress, without looking overtly sexy a la Kim Kardashian.

Ali Larter opted for a red sheath dress with gold strappy sandals.

Close but no cigar for Britney Spears.

I stopped having expectations for Britney a very long time ago, so I can’t be disappointed that her hair extensions are very obvious, and that skirt of her black dress has white marks on it.

Nice shoes though.

Jenny McCarthy looks so fresh faced here. It looks like she has turned back the clock 10 or 15 years.

The funny woman wears a black tiered mini dress with steel blue slouch boots.

Leighton Meester has said on many occasions that one of her favourite designers is Zac Posen, so it is no surprise to see the actress wearing his dress to this event.

I love the style of this dress, especially the asymetric stitching on her Zac Posen Pre-Fall 2008 dress, as well as the puffy sleeves.

Jennifer Love Hewitt no doubt turned heads wearing a short black lacy dress.

I love the coral colour of this jersey dress on Eva La Rue.

Vanessa Williams was dresses very causal last week in flared jeans and a red top. On this occasion she goes back to looking glam in a purple gown with embellished straps.

Normally I would say that the necklace is too much with the embellishments on the dress, but I love the turquoise with the purple.

Kate Walsh is not so glamourous as Vanessa, but she still looks gorgeous in her blue/grey Amanda Wakeley Fall 2008 dress.

The actress was one of the first to start the white shoe trend.

A slick haired Cassie attend the launch of Madison Square Garden’s new series “NYC Sound Tracks” at Metrazur Restaurant in Grand Central Terminal this month in New York wearing the same dress in white.

The singer wore her mini dress with a pair of black Givenchy Strappy Open Toe Ankle Booties.

Both ladies opted for thin necklace with a tiny pendant, with this now sold out dress.

I love Cassie’s shoes, but I much prefer the colour of Leighton’s dress, so she wins for me.

This fringed dress is very much suits Lauren’s style, so I will forgive her not supporting her own collection on this occasion.

You would think that Queen B is wearing a vintage dress, as her look has a very 50s feel to it, but the actress is actually wearing an Alice + Olivia Garden Party Dress ($440)

The retro dress gives her a flouncy silhouette, and comes with a pink belt which nips her in at the waist.

What I particularly love about this dress is the floral print.
