“Twilight” World Premiere, LA

I love Camilla Belle more than many on the red carpet – excluding Theron, Diaz, Kruger, and Blanchett – but I am really not liking the pink lips. Red would have worked so much better with her Miu Miu Spring 2009 “Roman” printed sheath dress.

The heels are great though.

I loved this Balenciaga Resort 2009 asymmetric colour block dress when it was presented, unfortunately Kristen Stewart makes it look very grungy.

I don’t like it on her at all.

I remember when Frances Bean Cobain was a cute blonde who wore tea dress, fighting every natural urge to become a rock chick. Now it looks like the transformation is complete, with dark hair and the pale skin. Your mother would be so proud Frances.

Her black butterfly printed dress and Mary Janes are ‘oh so cute’.

I love the cute dress, baddass attitude combo.

Jennie Garth arrived on the red carpet with her actor husband Peter Facinelli.

The couple were co-ordinated with their dark attires. Him in a dark navy/black suit, whilst she wore a black asymmetric Tracy Reese Fall 2008 dress with an embellished detail on the shoulder.

Garcelle Beauvais also opts for black, in this satin one-shoulder mini dress.

“Bolt” Los Angeles Premiere

Miley Cyrus finally looks age appropriate on the red carpet, minus the pouting.

The colour block dress is fun and young, and I especially love the statement necklaces she is wearing.

“Frost/Nixon” New York Premiere

Kyra Sedgwick looks very chic wearing a charcoal grey Bottega Veneta Fall 2008 pencil dress with high neck. She completes he look with red strappy sandals.

2008 Happy Hearts Fund Ball “A Masquerade In Venice”, New York

Forever the ballgown queen Petra Nemcova wears an ice blue Marchesa Spring 2008 gown, with an embellished bodice.

I love the design in which only one shoulder is embellished, and the other is off-the-shoulder.

You maybe surprised to learn that Kerry Washington was not the first to wear this Roberto Cavalli gown. Petra Nemcova wore the same dress 5 months ago when she attended a party on Roberto Cavalli’s yacht during the Cannes Film Festival.

The charity campaigner wore her dress sans shoes, and with a silver clutch.

Kerry Washington wore the same dress to the 18th Annual Broadcasting and Cable Hall of Fame Awards three nights ago.

The actress wore shoes, which are barely seen, and she carried a cute pink heart-shaped jeweled clutch.

Both look amazing in the dress. I love the way Petra looks so natural in the dress, without shoes or make-up and still look gorgeous, but I adore Kerry’s accessories are so beautiful that she wins this for me.

This was Donna Karan’s 20th anniversary collection, and she did not disappoint her guests, as she displayed a very youthful collection befitting of the DKNY brand.

The colour palette had bright blues, neon yellow, passion pinks and some darker navy blue and black colours.

It was blue that dominated the runway, appearing on dress, tank top, sashes on dress, and details on other pieces.

Models strutted down the runway in heeled sneakers wearing strapless dress and tops, jumpsuits, mini dress, wide-leg pants and jeans, vests and blazers.

With many separates on display, the mix and match possibilities are endless.

Even in that denim jumpsuit, Coco is still fierce ♥.

It looks like Nicole Richie was given the heads up on the striped and blue theme of the show by arriving wearing a blue and navy striped DKNY tank, with a navy and cobalt blue banded skirt.

She completed her look with black suede cut out booties.

Christina Ricci as always looks stunning. The actress wore a sexy spotted dress, with nude heels.

Winona Ryder opted for a head to toe black ensemble, with ruby red lips.

I am not quite sure why Petra Nemcova thought the fedora was a good idea, because her cherry red dress was enough to ensure that she stood out.

Amanda Peet’s Gotham Cover Launch, New York

I am loving Amanda Peet’s Thakoon Graffiti print dress, with puffy short-sleeves. I especially love the asymmetrical detail on the skirt.

The actress completed her look with Alexander McQueen cut out peep-toes, and drop earrings.

Sarah Paulson is very on the floral trend, by wearing this multi-coloured 3.1 Phillip Lim floral chiffon dress. The beautiful dress has flutter sleeves, and a wide neckline which accentuates Sarah’s neck.

The look is completed with gold Christian Louboutin strappy sandals, and a tan leather belt with a cute fish pendant.

“What Happens In Vegas” Press Conference, Japan

This strapless tan Fendi mini dress is surprisingly blah on Cameron Diaz. She usually shines when she is showing off her legs, but she seems quite muted.

She completes her look with Stella McCartney white pointy pumps.

Elegy Screening, New York

Penelope Cruz who was in LA the night before attending her Vicky Cristina Barcelona, attended this screening in New York head-to-toe in black Chanel Couture.

Her bustier dress looks very interesting, but unfortunately she has covered up a black coat.

Too Cool For School, Zoe Kravitz, was also in attendance wearing a black tiered dress.

She accessorized with a cute pair of pink pointy pumps, multiple gold necklaces and a white clutch.

“Holly” Screening, New York

Oh no, what has Petra Nemcova done to her hair?

I love the colour, but the bangs are not working for me.

Finally someone had the cahones to wear the Dolce & Gabbana organza fantasy ball gowns.

I was hoping that Sarah Jessica Parker would have worn the green one to the Sex And The City New York Premiere next week, but I will have to make do with Rose Mcgowan.

She totally rocked this stunning gown. It is just a beautiful as I imagined it off the runway.

French Vogue Editor-in-Chief Carine Roitfeld and her daughter Julia Restoin-Roitfeld leave me breathless in their stunning dresses.

Carine is wearing a red hot one-shouldered animal print Balmain Fall 2008 dress with a slit to the thigh and metallic detailing on the hip.

Julia also wears a dress from the Balmain Fall 2008 collection.

Her dress is equally as sexy as her mothers, but shorter. Her black dress is also one-shouldered, with lace detail at the hem and on the hip. She also wore her beloved black YSL tribute platform sandals, which she also wore yesterday.

Natalie Portman has obviously gotten wind of the fact that many people – not me – were tiring of her wearing Lanvin, so she opted for this beautifully structured Givenchy Spring 2008 Couture dress.

She needs to be careful not to cut herself on those spikes.

Model Natalia Vodianova wore a gold strapless Valentino Spring 2008 Couture gown with a tiered embellished skirt.

Elsa Pataki wears the same Alberta Ferretti dress which Bar Refaeli wore last Wednesday last week.

What a faux pa.

There is no greater ambassador for Marchesa than the designer Georgina Chapman.

Tonight she arrived in this very dramatic silk tulle Marchesa Spring 2008 ball gown with gold embroidered leaf appliqué.

She wore her dress with Christian Louboutin Coxinelle T-bar pumps.

STUNNING.

Petra Nemcova also wore a Marchesa Spring 2008 gown.

Her white strapless gown was much less dramatic, but equally as beautiful.

Couture Queen Dita von Teese is exquisite in this violet Jean Paul Gaultier Fall 2007 Couture chiffon military-esqe gown.

The dress has badges of honour as embellishments and beaded epaulets.

Oh so cute.

Margherita Missoni looks stunning with her hair tied back, in this sweetheart neck-lined Missoni Spring 2008 strapless multi-coloured printed gown.

I love this coral coloured strapless Marchesa gown on Mary J. Blige. She is not afraid of colour, and it shows.

The embroidery on the gown is outstanding.

Joely Richardson shows off her lean figure in this stripey Ralph Lauren Spring 2008 gown, with long satin opera gloves for added dramatic effect.

Tamara Mellon usually sticks to black white and navy, so I am glad during Cannes she is wearing more colours.

This strapless bandeau dress is from the Balmain Spring 2008 collection, and is ultra feminine. I really love the wing embroidered detail.

Michelle Yeoh is wearing this very summery Roberto Cavalli Fall 2008 A-line dress with flowered embroidery.

You wouldn’t expect a dress like this to be part of a Fall collection.

Donatella Versace is stunning as ever in her own designs. The colour is gorgeous and dress fits like a glove.

This dress has the same lattice detail we have seen on a few other dresses, during this Film Festival.

Sharon Stone LOVES animal print. On most occasions she looks tacky, but not tonight.

For once she works it well. The jeweled detail on his halter-neck Roberto Cavalli dress is what I think stops it from heading down to tackyville.

Madonna is much less dramatic tonight in her coral satin pussy-bow dress with nude heels.

The pussy-bow dress is a preview of what we will see during on Stella McCartney’s Spring 2009 runway. Yes 4 months from now.

Now that is what you call star power.

Actress Aissa Maiga is wearing this Christian Dior Fall 2007 hip embellished dress, which despite being a few seasons old it looks like it’s from a recent Spring collection in white.

Not many have dared to wear the crazy designs from Marc Jacobs Louis Vuitton Spring 2008 collection.

Milla Jovovich dared to, and looks fabulous.

Coral appears to be the colour of the night.

Diane Kruger is simple elegant in her 20s inspired silver embroidered Chanel Haute Couture gown with her marcel waves.

I love how she is holding her delicate train.

Eva Herzigova opted for a simple black strapless Dolce & Gabbana gown, which covered up a lot more than the Dior dress she wore yesterday.

Very plain for Juliette Lewis.

This is the best dress I have seen Star Jones wear during Cannes. The embroidery and the feathered hem are delightful.

“Late Show With David Letterman”, New York

Kristin Davis wore a beautiful Michael Kors Fall 2008 floral print sheath dress, with a lavender crocodile waist belt, for her appearance on Letterman this week.

She teamed her dress with a pair of Christian Louboutin Marilou woven slingbacks.

I love her crocodile “Kelly-esqe” handbag.

“American Idol” Season 7 Grand Finale, LA

TV presenter and long-time suffering girlfriend of Simon Cowell, Terri Seymour, wore a stunning multi coloured floral print Balenciaga dress, with lavender Alexander McQueen square toe pumps.

Most definitely the best look of the night.

Ashley Tisdale appears to be shrinking before our very eyes. The High School Musical actress wore a black silk embroidered top with linen trousers.

She accessorized her look with turquoise beads, a racing green Balenciaga bag and Christian Louboutin Privatita pumps.

Carrie Underwood wore a Zuhair Murad Spring 2008 teal empire waist cocktail dress with intricate embroidery on the bodice, with lace detail on the skirt.

She completed her look with a pair of Christian Louboutin Anemone stiletto pumps and a black Irma clutch by Daniel Swarovski.

Season 6 winner Jordin Sparks, opted for a lace maxi tank dress.

Unfortunately the singer is still sporting those red streaks in her hair.

On stage and backstage Jordin wore a gold lamé Prada Spring 2008 dress with Christian Louboutin Very Noeud slingbacks.

American Idol judge Paula Abdul, wore a red Alan Del Rosario gown that surprisingly does not offend me. Paula is not known for her great sense of style, so I will give her much kudos for this look.

Teri Hatcher accessorized her black and white Badgley Mischka Resort 2008 dress with a Mary Norton clutch. The black brocade fold-over clutch with embroidered pearl detail, worked well with the detail on her bodice.

TV presenter Cat Deeley opted for a silk black halter-neck and black pants combo. A very muted choice for the usually colour-living Brit.

Actress Joely Fisher looks nice with her family…yada yada yada….More importantly when did Prada bring out the Fairy bag in pink?

I adored the white version, but this is very cute also.

Fantasia Barrino….? I am speechless. I will let this holy hot mess speak for itself.

“I Am Because We Are” Premiere, Cannes

Sharon Stone wears this stunning black Marchesa halter-neck gown with gold and black sequined details.

I wish she would do something with her hair.

Roberto Cavalli Party, Cannes

Mary J Blige may not have a movie to promote in Cannes, but that did not stop her partying on Roberto Cavalli’s yacht last night.

The singer wore a black and white printed haltered gown, with the signature Roberto Cavalli gold serpent clasp on the front.

Eva Herzigova wore this white romantic tiered Roberto Cavalli Fall 2008 tank dress, with a large white braided belt with a wooden buckle.

Petra Nemcova is stunning and shoe-less in this baby pink Roberto Cavalli halter-neck pleated silk and chiffon gown.

Effortlessly beautiful.

Made Of Honor Premiere, Madrid



Michelle Monaghan continues her love affair with the Bill Blass Fall 2008 collection.

This stunning double bowed ivory strapless dress, perfectly complimented her co-star, Patrick Dempsey’s Versace suit.

Maxim’s “Hot 100″ 2008 Party, LA

There was once a time when this event was littered with A list celebrities. Now? Not so much.

Amanda Bynes wore a black strapless cocktail dress with a silver clutch and matching shoes.

Reality TV star Audrina Patridge wore the very popular Herve Leger Adelisa strapless dress.

Christina Milian keeps the green theme going from her hooped earrings, to her dress, to her shoes.

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

First her solo gig tanks, then she had to crawl back to PCD, and now Nicole Scherzinger reduced to attending this D – if not F – list event in a shapeless dress.

February 25th, 2008

Without the Vanity Fair party, the only real party that brought out the stars was Elton John’s Annual AIDS Foundation Party.

Unfortunately the likes of Katie Holmes, Kate Hudson, Uma Thurman did not attend and most of those celebrities who walked the red carpet wore the same dress to the parties, so there was not the opportunity to see them in a second set of dresses.

Ziyi Zhang was by far the best dressed at this event wearing a ruffled electric blue Armani Privé Spring 2008 strapless dress.

Sharon Stone made up for her Dior disaster last week, by wearing a white tuxedo from the Christian Dior Spring 2008 collection.

I like the way she has made this sexy, by not wearing a shirt under her waistcoat.

Kate Beckinsale is wearing one of my favourite dresses from the Versace Couture Spring 2008 collection. This is very sexy and un-prom-like look for Kate.

Eva Herzigova looked stunning in this canary yellow Versace Couture Spring 2008 one shouldered gown. Her jewels were from Chopard.

Actress Zoe Saldana has been wearing a lot of stunning dress lately and this J. Mendel Spring 2008 gown with flower detail is no exception.

Portia de Rossi looks stunning in this late coloured Lanvin Spring 2008 dress, although her sun-burnt orange eyebrows are killing me.

Ellen DeGeneres loves to wear suits, and she is looking very dapper in this grey Dior suit with white shoes.

Heidi Klum put away her Dior dress for sake keeping, and stepped out in this stunning metallic Roberto Cavalli Spring 2008 mini dress.

Courtney Love dressed up in this jeweled neckline ivory white satin Lanvin dress, which slightly washes her out.

Mary J Blige wore this aubergine, shoulder embellished dress to perform at this event with host Elton John.

She later changed into this ombre gown, to enjoy the party with the other guests.

Both dresses were equally amazing on the R&B diva, but I preferred this gown.

Sofia Vergara picks up were Salma Hayek left off, in the sexiest buxom babe on the red carpet.

She looks amazing wearing this emerald green Versace dress, which she is in danger of spilling out of.

Designer Monique Lhuillier wore a stunning hybrid of her own designs from her Spring 2008 & Fall 2008 collection.

Terri Seymour attended this event with her boyfriend Simon Cowell.

She is wearing a Loris Azzaro 1970s goddess style dress in apricot sorbet jersey with a ruched bodice from Rare Vintage.

Like Portia, the eyebrows are too thick for my liking.

Natalie Maines of The Dixie Chicks showed us her sexy legs by wearing this interesting aubergine gathered mini Alexander McQueen Fall 2007 dress.

Either it is the lipstick with the Roberto Cavalli dress, or the dress with the lipstick, but something is not working here for Petra Nemcova.

I think it’s the lipstick.

Minnie Driver is a tad boring in chocolate.

She usually makes a effort to stand out as at these events.

I was pleasantly surprised to see singer Nadine Coyle from UK pop band Girls Aloud on the red carpet at this event.

She wore a gorgeous chocolate embellished chiffon dress with golden peep-toes.
