Only Demi Moore can upstage the gorgeous Anja Rubik.

Demi looks breath-taking on the cover of W Magazine’s December 2009 issue which was shot by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott.

I’ve run out of superlatives to describe how amazingly beautiful this woman is.

She strikes a sexy pose that would even get her husband Ashton all hot under the collar, wearing a Balmain Spring 2010 gold leather and metal mesh dress with exposed hips.

I wonder if she took this dress home to play Tarzan and Jane with Ashton.

Yes the cover has been photoshopped to within an inch of it’s life, but we all know she IS this beautiful.

The rest of her editorial below sees her wearing Givenchy, Armani Prive and Lanvin.

This issue goes on sale November 24.

Here are some extracts from her interview, but you can read the full interview on wmgazine.com.

On using Twitter to transform her public image: “People are much more interested in what I have to say directly, and that really changed the whole dynamic I have with fans…I can’t impress enough the difference in how people are perceiving me. They’re getting to see who I am.”

“Viola Di Mare” Premiere

Maria Grazia Cucinotta was by far my favourite on the red carpet this weekend.

The stunning actress looked divine wearing an Armani Privé spiral gown which was embroidered with Swarovski crystals.

This gown is very similar to the Privé gown Sharon Stone wore recently.

Isabella Ragonese wore a beautiful dress with an unmistakable Missoni floral print from the Fall 2008 collection.

The grey and blue print dress had ruffled shoulders and an embellished detail cascading down one  side.

We don’t often get so see Roberta Armani on the red carpet, but she doesn’t disappoint wearing a Giorgio Armani Fall 2009 two-tone black on gold bustier dress.

Her brunette locks were swept to one-side, as she paired her dress with Armani accessories.

I loved Isabella Ragonese’s Missoni dress, but I wasn’t crazy about her Isabel Marant Fall 2009 look.

I much prefer the runway colour combination.

“Up In The Air” Premiere

I wasn’t a fan of Elisabetta Canalis last red carpet look, but she does a complete 180 by looking spectacular wearing an Armani Privé Fall 2009 midnight blue strapless velvet gown, with a lighter blue satin bodice.

She opted to wear her sash around her neck rather than tying it into a cute bow as the look was presented on the runway.

George Clooney was decked out in Giorgio Armani tuxedo.

“The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus”

Lily Cole opted for a very familiar Dolce & Gabbana black corset gown, which looks amazing on her.

Despite seeing this gown many times in various colours, I’m not bored seeing it on Lily.

Rose McGowan toned down the sex kitten for a demure look despite the bright fuchsia colour of her Dolce & Gabbana gown.

Normally her looks are shorter, tighter and more revealing.

“The Last Station” Premiere

Helen Mirren was perfection personified - as always - wowing the crowds wearing a sleeveless gown with a large bow and diamond brooch detail.

She was easily my second favourite from this weekends looks.

“Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans” Premiere

I’m glad this event happened on Friday after I posted my Best Dressed Of The Week poll, because my first reaction to Eva Mendes wearing this Armani Privé Fall 2009 gown was that I liked the dress, but I wasn’t sure if I liked Eva in the dress.

Then as more pictures came in and I saw more angles, I started to appreciate how difficult this gown was to pull off. Especially by someone with Eva’s beautiful curves.

But she does pull it off, and with some ease I might add.

I would’ve never thought of Eva as a Privé girl, but her black gown which appears to be made out of ribbons is exquisite. From the keyhole bodice, to the rosette jeweled detail on her hip.

I’m not a fan of hair pushed back behind her ears, but it’s a small detail when everything else looks so amazing.

Her look was paired with black satin peep-toe pumps.

“Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans” Party

After the premiere Eva headed to the marina where she partied with designer Alberta Ferretti.

It was no surprise that Eva was wearing a gown by the designer.

Eva’s teal chiffon dress with a fringed hem was from Alberta Ferretti’s Spring 2009 collection.

Love the dress, not so crazy about the pale pink heels/black clutch combo.

“Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans” Photocall

This navy polka dotted Christian Dior Resort 2010 sheath dress is actually my favourite look of all 4 looks on this post.

The look is so chic and so classic yet not old fashioned.

I wish she had worn the runway heels, but I’m glad she wore the collar down.

Jaeger-LeCoultre host “Bad Lieutenant Port of Call New Orleans” Dinner

Completing the quartet of stunning looks this weekend was Eva wearing a white Chloé by Hannah MacGibbon Resort 2010 dress.

The white lace dress has long sleeves with a delicate chiffon ruffled plunging neckline.

It’s relaxed, yet not too informal. It’s also summer time fresh, even though we’ll all have to wait for next summer to buy this dress.

Some girls have all the luck.

She paired her maxi dress with a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch, wedges and a Bulgari clutch.

I also spy another headband.

You guys certainly make these weekly polls interesting.

I would’ve bet my entire shoe collection that you would’ve picked Zhang Ziyi in Chanel Couture as your Best Dressed this week as your comments were so favourable, but it appears many more of you were actually more impressed by the Chiling Lin in her form fitting Salvatore Ferragamo black backless gown.

“Chiling Lin…that dress looks like it was made for her alone” said Shubby Doo.

A sentiment I couldn’t agree more with, but I opted for Sharon Stone.

As I said in my post, Sharon was on my worst dressed list for years. She wowed me at Cannes Film Festival and here again at the 2009 Rudolph Valentino Awards.

She was a vision of perfection in her strapless spiral Armani Privé Fall 2009 gown. It was the type of perfection we only get from Charlize and Cate.

Does this mean that there’s hope for the other women on my worst dress list - Phoebe Price and Bai Ling?

Nah….doubt it.

August 31st, 2009

For a very long while Sharon Stone was on my top 5 worst dressed women in showbiz list.

Since the 2009 Cannes Film Festival that has all changed.

It’s like she’s finally accepted that she not 25 years old anymore, and is dressing with less leopard print and more sophistication.

Sharon attended the 2009 Rudolph Valentino Awards in Italy this weekend, and I must admit I was totally blown away.

The actress who usually only wears Dior, looked exquisite wearing a strapless spiral Armani Privé Fall 2009 bustier mermaid gown with black embroidered sequin details.

No wonder her host couldn’t help but kiss her to show his appreciation of her exquisite beauty.

Can’t believe I’m gushing over Sharon Stone.

Is Megan Fox serious? Like really?

She’s at a Couture show for Christ sake, can’t she at least pretend like she deserves to be there.

She should be taking acting advice from the great Cate Blanchett - who’s doing her best to ignore her - because lets face it pouting her way through “Transformers” doesn’t make one a good actress.

*All hail the Queen is back*

Cate Blanchett hasn’t been on the red carpet in a long while as she currently lives in Australia.

Cate and Giorgio Armani have a perfect working relationship.  He creates stunning pieces I’m sure with her in mind, which is why the star was the guest of honour at this show.

She didn’t wear any of the pieces on my wish list, but this Armani Privé Spring 2009 floral sheath dress with an oriental vibe is simply stunning on her and she wears it with such grace.

We are still and will never be worthy *bows*

Kasia Smutniak is the face of Giorgio Armani’s new fragrance ‘Idole d’Armani’.

Giorgio chose Kasia because she has a fresh and modern appeal which combines true feminine sensuality.  She is a rare beauty.

The stunning model wore a floral print Armani Privé Spring 2009 jacket, with a black skirt as she posed alongside the designer.

She wears one Armani Privé dress and this grants Megan Fox front row access and a seat next to the great Cate Blanchett?

Seriously what is this world coming to?

Her dove grey one-shoulder Armani Privé dress is gorgeous I won’t take that away from her, but the make-up once again lets her down.

She really needs to sack her make-up artist because she’s gone from orange to yellow now she’s just too pale.

Elsa Pataky always presents herself well. She’s always graceful, elegant and well dressed and knows a thing or two about Couture gowns so she has earned her spot in the front row.

Her bangs were a bit too blunt during Cannes but they have grown out to a more versatile length.

Her Giorgio Armani Pre-Fall 2009 LBD is simple but so so elegant. I love the silhouette it gives her and the silver details on the shoulders which she complements with a silver clutch.

My hero worship for Dasha Zhukova started off very high at the beginning of the week, but her stock is falling quite sharply.

She looks cute in her Thakoon Resort 2009 printed dress, but it’s much for fitting for an informal event not an Armani Privé show.

I almost missed this because I didn’t recognise her.

Katie Grand would have stood out. I wouldn’t have missed Katie Grand.

Isabelle Huppert also decided to dress down for the occasion considering she was the couture queen at Cannes Film Festival.

Très disappointing.

This is Megan Fox’s 6th “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” red carpet appearance including photocalls.

The majority of you will never like her no matter what she wears, but for the rest you must admit this is a stunning look for the actress.

Sporting a 50s sleek wavy hairstyle, bright red lips and gold leaf earrings the actress wore a fuschia print strapless Armani Privé Fall 2007 dress.

The modified version should be no surprise as it’s much sexier than the runway version therefore suiting Megan’s overtly sexy sense of style.

Her look was complete with merlot Christian Louboutin Bianca platform pumps which I added to my favourites this week.

I love the look.  Do you?
