I hope Victoria Beckham hasn’t watched the movie “Single White Female”, as she would be very afraid of Elle Macpherson right about now. j/k

On the set of “The Beautiful Life” Elle wore yet another dress from Victoria Beckham’s Fall 2009 collection which VB has worn recently.

This time it was the black ‘Giral’ strapless silk dress which Victoria wore when she arrived back from Denver after her judging gig on “American Idol”.

The dress and sunglasses are the same, but the hair is not.

I know this contradicts what I said yesterday about “no one beats VB in her own threads”, but I hated Victoria’s Croydon facelift as it makes her face so harsh, so Elle wins for me.

Victoria’s Giral strapless silk dress is available in purchase from the Net-A-Porter US site for $2,625, and the Net-A-Porter International site for £1,750/€2,188.

Within a month Victoria Beckham’s ‘Carmontelle’ cashmere-blend dress has been worn on 3 different shoots.

I was surprised Leighton Meester was the first to wear a Victoria Beckham Fall 2009 dress in claret red, on the set of “Gossip Girl” last month before Victoria.

Her dress was totally Blair-ified with pearls and a trademark headband.

Victoria picked this same dress in grey to wear on the shoot of her ad campaign, which is impressive considering bigger designers like Christian Dior will not shoot a Fall 2009 ad campaign.

This week Elle Macpherson looked younger than her 46 years wearing the same dress in grey on set of “The Beautiful Life”.

It seems the model/actress has studied VB closely getting both the look and the pout right.

For me no one can out do VB in her own threads.

The collection is not only made by her, but made for her so she wins for me, with Elle a very close second.


The Net-A-Porter US site is the only place you can currently buy this stunning dress online for $3,145.

…but in two different colours.

I recently joked that Victoria Beckham came to London to pick up her Fall 2009 collection after her ad shoot.

It now feels like I was right because she has worn nothing but her collection since.

Victoria was in Denver this weekend to be a judge on “American Idol”. Unfortunately the feedback from her performance was labeled as “icy and wooden”. Ouch!

Looks like VB’s attempts to be the people’s princess – like Cheryl Cole – is not about to happen any time soon.

On the plus side we got a smile and we got some colour from her this weekend.

The designer wore a luxurious silk purple strapless corset dress from her own collection with Emporio Armani platform heels.

On Sunday Victoria wore same dress is black with the same shoes when she headed back to LA with a severally pulled back high bun.

Her look was accessorized an Alaia cropped cardigan, Hermes Birkin and Culter & Gross sunglasses.

What she gives with one hand, she takes away with the other.

Posted in: In Her Closet, Victoria Beckham by Fashion Critic

August 7th, 2009

Yesterday it was announced that Victoria Beckham will be a guest judge on “American Idol”.

Am I the only one who hates this idea?

I thought Victoria had shelved the music industry in order to concentrate on her fashion line and be seen as a serious designer.

The thought of her sitting in Paula Abdul’s old chair critiquing tone-deaf deluded “singers” just leaves me cold.

Victoria was spotted at LAX yesterday looking as chic as ever despite the touches of de ja vu – Hermes Birkin, sunglasses, headband and Trib Two’s.

She was wearing the black bouclé Alavoine mini dress with gold embroidery from her own Fall 2009 collection.

This is one of the very few pieces from her collection that didn’t sell out immediately when it was uploaded onto Net-A-Porter recently.

You can purchase this dress from the Net-A-Porter US site for $1,785, or the Net-A-Porter International site for £1,190/€1,488.

The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, New York

Sienna Miller was still on a fashionable roll when she made an appearance on “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien” yesterday.

The stylish actress wore a purple Brian Reyes Resort 2010 tank drape dress, with black pumps and decorated the neckline with a stunning gold necklace.

Another stunning dress to add to Sienna’s Fashion Week poll.

Supperclub And Instyle Dinner Party, LA

It’s bad enough that Jessica Capshaw’s Giambattista Valli Spring 2009 dress was shortened and de-ruffled, but to wear those taupe pumps with this gorgeous white and pink floral dress is just unforgivable.

Malin Akerman’s Alice + Olivia draped dress is so versatile you could dress is up for an event like this, or dress it down to go shopping with your friends at the mall.

Her look is paired with neutral accessory’s which complement her dress.

Although I’m not a fan of wearing more than one denim piece at a time, I’ll give Lynn Collins kudos for finally getting her hair situation and head wear fascination under control.

The actress wore a stone Topshop denim dress with a light-wash denim jacket and an awesome pair of open-toe booties.

NBC And Universal’s 2009 TCA Press Tour All-Star Party, LA

Mary McCormack looks outstanding wearing a Giambattista Valli red dress with a knotted rosette detail on the hip.

The dress shows off her stunning figure, which she pairs with YSL Trib Two’s and a black clutch.

I love how she’s styled her hair.

Michelle Trachtenberg nude dress plus her nude heels really wash her out.

“It’s On With Alexa Chung, New York

As much as this look brings Sienna Miller’s fabulous week to a crashing halt, you only have to look in Topshop and H&M to see how on-trend she is.

It’s not my style, but she makes it work for her.

I’m still waiting to see if Sienna wears anything else tonight, but her Fashion Week poll will be posted tomorrow.

Despite being embroiled in another nude scandal, Vanessa Hudgens was all smiles made her way to Alexa Chung’s MTV show this week.

The star looked cute wearing a purple ruffled dress with a pair of Report Signature ‘Downey’ heels.

By the time she had left, she had changed into an oversized shirt dress, which she belted and paired with Pour La Victoire Pascale High Heel Huarache Sandals.

I wonder if she will still make it to the Teen Choice Awards this weekend.

Victoria Beckham was out in London this weekend, as she was spotted arriving at Cecconi’s restaurant where she had dinner with her designer BFF Marc Jacobs.

VB wore the black version of the silk Briseux panel-stitched dress from her own collection, which has sharply tiered short sleeves and a high neckline.

I’m really glad she kept the look really simple, but I would have loved to have seen her in the violet colour.

The dress is fabulous but no doubt the talking point will be her super tight bun.

I was a huge fan of her longer locks, but so long as Cheryl Cole is sporting that style I don’t think Victoria will return to that look anytime soon.

On Sunday Victoria Beckham walked her favourite runway aka Heathrow airport, wearing another mini dress from her own collection.

This time she wore a navy shift dress with an embellished front panel. I like the dress, but her look was predictable with the trademark glasses, Birkin and YSL Trib Two heels.

I will guess that not only did Victoria Beckham come to London to shoot her commercial, but she also came to pick up her collection which is produced in the UK.

Prior to her arrival in London she was wearing Loewe and Chloe, now it’s VB all the way.

I just hope she picks more dazzling colours in future.

I know Victoria Beckham did walk any red carpets this week so she shouldn’t have been included in this poll, but I also knew a lot of you loved her Loewe look and would’ve wanted to vote for her. Which you did as she won this weeks readers poll.

I wasn’t particularly in love with any of the looks this week and was tempted to vote for VB myself, but I picked Emmy Rossum’s wearing Phi.

Emmy’s look was sexy, daring, edgy and it proved that she’s over her prom-queen phase.

Many of you wanted to vote for Sienna Miller’s Loewe look which wasn’t included. If you would like me to add a look to the weekly poll, please let me know in the comments before I post the poll.

Let’s hope we have a better week next week.
