Sharon Stone’s Dior ads were pulled down in China after her “karma” remarks, but the blonde actress features in another advertising campaign.

Sharon features in the new campaign for Damiani, the Italian jewelers.

The new ads were unveiled at the company’s launch party, celebrating the opening of their first LA boutique on Rodeo Drive.

Damiani may have photoshopped Sharon to an inch of her life, but she does look great as a result and is still recognisable.

The Edge Of Love – Private VIP Party

After wearing Chanel to the premiere Keira Knightley opted for a British designer for The Edge of Love private party.

The statuesque actress wore a strapless purple pleated Erdem Fall 2008 dress which has a beautiful rosette detail on the bust and a layered skirt.

Sienna Miller first wore a strapless red vintage Dior dress, the actress then changed into a cream Jasmine Di Milo dress, with an asymmetric ruffle detail for her appearance on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross.

Two great looks, but I am loving the Dior dress.

“Meet The Actors” hosted at the Apple Store Soho, New York

Anne Hathaway does not let her recent breakup get to her, as she keeps smiling during her promotion of her new movie Get Smart.

Anne wore a very interesting sleeveless navy Preen Fall 2008 trench dress with gold Giuseppe Zanotti pumps.

As I have said recently I am loving this edgier direction, which is such a contrast to her classic beauty.

3.1 Phillip Lim Los Angeles Store Opening, LA

Trendsetter Camilla Belle never lets me down. Here the actress opted for the best dress from the recent 3.1 Philip Lim Resort 2009 collection.

The beautiful sleeveless dress has multi-coloured sequins adorning the dress, which she wears with a brown leather belt and black 3.1 Philip Lim Fall 2008 pumps.

Emmy Rossum stands out the most in this mango 3.1 Phillip Lim Siamese Fish dress which she wears with a black leather belt and black peep-toes.

Jennifer Morrison is very chic wearing pearls with her navy structured dress. I love the tiered ruffles on the skirt.

Kate Walsh embodied the spirit of summer in this floaty chiffon print dress.

“The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian” Premiere, London

Anna Popplewell looks positively radiant in her purple Maria Grachvogel dress. The teenager looks very grown up, yet age appropriate.

Get Smart Screening, New York

Anne Hathaway is having a great week. If it weren’t for Charlize Theron’s red carpet masterclass, Anne would have been a contender for Best Dressed Of The Week.

For this event she wore a navy Jasmine Di Milo Fall 2008 dress, with structured shoulders which had an overlapping skirt. To complete the look she wore snake-skin Brian Atwood pumps.

I would have liked to have seen Anne wear a belt with this dress, as it appeared on the runway.

I much prefer her hair sleek like this.

Cartier Celebrates 3rd Annual LOVEDAY, New York

Rihanna is dripping in a Cartier jewels, from her encrusted tiara, two Lotus rings, diamond stud earrings, a diamond dome ring, and a silk bracelet.

I am so jealous if she gets to keep it all.

The singer wore a strapless bubble hemmed mini PPQ Spring 2008 dress, and a pair of the new Christian Louboutin Trottinette ankle boots.

MTV TRL, New York

Anne Hathaway this time goes very casual to TRL.

The actress opts for a blazer with leather trousers and a simple white tee.

This is my least favourite of her looks on this post.

I love Brittany Snow’s skirt, and wish she had worn something different on top, although the navy boyfriend sweater does work.

39th Annual Songwriters Hall of Fame Ceremony, New York

I like to give credit were credit is due, and Agyness Deyn definitely deserves it here.

The model has cleaned up for this event, which she arrived to with curly haired Musician Albert Hammond Jr.

Gone is the wild spiky unruly hair, and instead we have a sleek golden crop and a flawless complexion.

Agyness has a great body ,and she shows it off here in a black figure-hugging sophisticated, floor-length gown with a pair of sparkling Christian Louboutin Alta Perla Strass slingbacks.

Damiani Press Event, LA

I am torn.

I love the colour of Sharon Stone’s dress and her hairstyle, but I dislike the bodice of this dress as it looks very restricting.

E for effort.

Georgina Chapman arrived at The New Yorkers For Children Benefit during April, wearing a Marchesa black halter-neck gown, which give her a fluid silhouette.

She wore the dress, which has a black and gold sequined detail under the bust, with a gold necklace, gold earrings and a gold clutch.

Sharon Stone wore the same dress when she attended Madonna’s I Am Because We Are premiere at the Palais des Festivals, during the Cannes International Film Festival.

The under fire actress wore her dress with silver earrings and a black handbag.

Georgina wins this for me, as she accessorized better.

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.

Unfortunately for Angelina Jolie, this taupe Reem Acra dress with beaded detail resembles a potato sack.

I am not a fan of the half up, half down hairstyle either.

Dita von Teese brings out the glamour in this sea green Christian Lacroix Spring 2008 Couture gown. This pleated dress gives her an amazing silhouette.

Dita does not think she is quite green enough, so she adds some emerald jewels to complete her look.

At last Michelle Yeoh fulfills my Cannes red carpet wish by wearing Elie Saab Spring 2008 Couture.

Regular readers will know I a thing for Elie’s bling out creations, and I am not let down with this peachy sequined strapless gown.

I love that Michelle wore her hair back.

This Diane von Furstenberg Spring 2008 maxi dress is beautiful. It is even on my shopping list. But I would not say it was a red carpet dress, and for that reason Natalia Vodianova gets it wrong.

I would wear this dress to go to a summer barbeque, or a friends wedding, but not for the red carpet.

Although it is very dressy, it is still to casual for the red carpet…in my opinion.

What is this?

Sharon Stone also goes too casual.

Ballroom dancer and country music singer Julianne Hough, wore this beautiful ruffled lavender Roberto Cavalli empire waist dress to the 2008 CMT Music Awards in Nashville, Tennessee last month with gold peep-toe shoes.

Actress Sharon Stone, who is usually on my worst dressed lists, so she surprised me by wearing the same beautiful dress this weekend, to The L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center’s “Women’s Night 2008″.

Both women look beautiful so this is a very hard choice. If I was offered either dress, I would take that black one, as safe as it is, but I prefer Julianne’s hair so she wins this for me.
