I searched all over and couldn’t find anything modified on Donatella Versace’s Spring 2010 strapless blush gown.

I guess her mantra was in this case, ‘if it ain’t broke why fix it?’

I would go as far as to say that I prefer this gown on Donatella, because the bodice is more tightly fasten giving Donatella a stunning silhouette.

Shakira got the honour of wearing a gown from the recently presented Atelier Versace Fall 2009 collection.

The gunmetal gown had a corseted bodice which reduced the singers already tiny waist, before skimming her famous curves and revealing her sexy legs via a central split.

Leather details accented the strapless gown, which looks great on Shakira but fails to wow as I would’ve expected.

Despite Lake Bell wearing a simpler gown I love the way she totally owns this look.

The colour is divine on her olive skin and the cut accentuates her toned figure.

Taylor Momsen wore stunning nude Grecian Versace Fall 2009 chiffon gown embellished with metal details around her waist.

I love the gown, but hair and make-up pour cold water all over this look for me.

She could have laid off the heavy eye-liner for one night.

Nothing surprises me about Alexa Chung’s look. The ankle boots were very much expected.

I’m just glad she’s not wearing them with a beautiful gown.

Mischa Barton is already quite a broad shouldered girl, so I was surprised she picked the only gown from the Versace Fall 2009 collection which would highlight her broad shoulders.

The sapphire blue is beautiful on her though.

Lisa Edelstein may not have been wearing a Versace gown, but her Pamella Roland Fall 2009 black gown was just as a elegant as the rest.

I love the black velvet spiral detail around her waist and the bejeweled strap.

Great look for her.

If this was a model face-off Isabeli Fontana would win.

The Versace Fall 2009 aqua dress is hugging her in all the right places, whereas it’s just hanging off Chanel Iman.

Lindsay Lohan arrived at this event wearing a fluffy pink Versace Fall 2009 coat, but removed it inside to reveal a strapless gold mini dress.

I expected it to be from her recent Emanuel Ungaro Spring 2010 disaster collection, but the gold dress may have been custom made for her by Donatella for this event.

Since Jennifer Hudson had her baby boy we haven’t really seen her glammed up on the red carpet until this event.

She didn’t let us or herself down by looking like a fairytale princess wearing a blush pink Versace gown, which she paired with a matching pink clutch and diamond bracelets.

She was my 3rd favourite of the night after Lake Bell.

Taylor changed into a Versus Spring 2010 mini black dress, as she was the DJ at the after party.

I guess this explains the heavy eye make-up, as it’s much more appropriate for this LBD.

The stockings?? I can’t even go there.

Back in April, Rodeo Drive was the setting for supermodel Heidi Klum’s Vogue Germany photoshoot.

Crowds gathered to see her in a pose in a variety of looks ranging from Louis Vuitton to Alexander McQueen.

My favourite look was her Atelier Versace Spring 2009 strapless red paillette covered dress, worn with Gucci Fall 2009 heels and a red cardigan.

Emma Roberts disappointed many of you when she wore the same dress to the Costume Institute Gala the following month, as you’d hoped to see this dress on a bigger named celebrity who could carry such a complex stunning creation.

Cheryl Cole wowed us by wearing Atelier Versace for the second week in a row on the X Factor.

She was the only one to belt the dress, which she wore with Cesare Paciotti heels.

I don’t like any of the heels these ladies wore with dress, but I did love how Cheryl glowed in this dress and how the belt makes her waist so definded so she wins for me.

OMG.

That is what I said when I saw Cheryl Cole take the stage on the X Factor with her fellow judges Louis Walsh, Dannii Minogue and Simon Cowell on Saturday night.

I would’ve expected Cheryl to wear a this Atelier Versace Spring 2009 strapless gold embellished dress to the finale show, but Mrs Cole wanted to wow us from the start and she did just that.

The only thing I wondered was how was she going to sit in that dress. The skirt has a bird cage like structured skirt and those seats look so narrow.

I half expected the camera to pan to her and see her in another dress.

I can only assume the dress has some kind of collapse mechanism to allow the wearer to sit.

The look was paired with gold leopard print heels from her favourite shoe designer Rupert Sanderson.

BDOTW contender for sure.

Her hair was styled into a loose single plait which was swept across one shoulder, which seems to be inspired by Alexander Wang’s Spring 2010 models.

Sorry it took so long post this. I had to make sure I proper rights to these pictures as I didn’t want to be sued by peeps at X Factor. X Factor posts will be earlier next week.

I held off posting this for a day hoping we would get better pictures, but this is the best it’s going to get.

I’m so gutted we don’t get to see a full length picture of Cheryl Cole wearing the same Versace dress which Blake Lively wore to the Costume Institute gala.

Cheryl is so petite, so I would have been interested to see if she could carry off such a dress.

I love the dress, but the 80s style hair is a buzz kill.

Chloe Green daughter of Sir Phillip Green look gorgeous wearing the same Balmain gown we have seen Beyonce Knowles wear on the red carpet.

Again I wish I could see more of the dress, which she is carrying in order not to drag her £10,000 gown on the floor.

My absolute favourite was Terri Seymour, the long suffering ex-girlfriend of Simon Cowell.

With the wind in her hair and the skirt of her Marchesa Resort 2009 strapless embroidered gown, she looks like an angel even though both Taylor Swift and Mary J Blige wore this same dress in different colours last year.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell wows in a white satin Atelier Versace Fall 2009 lace up gown, as she sparkles with a diamond and pearl necklace by Fawaz Gruosi.

Dannii Minogue and Amanda Holden both opted for Ralph & Russo gowns.

Dannii looked effortlessly chic in a black and gold Ralph & Russo dress, whilst Amanda was blinged out in a white heavily embellished gown.

Hopefully Hello! or OK! magazine will feature non photoshopped pictures of this event.

I hate those magazines when they photoshop guests together in pictures. It so incredibly obvious and tacky.

Emma Watson was your Best Dressed this week as you fell in love with her custom-made Burberry Prorsum Spring 2010 dress, which she wore when she took her front row seat at Burberry’s Prorsum Spring 2010 show during London Fashion Week.

I’m still in love with January Jones who wore an Atelier Versace Spring 2010 strapless gown to the Emmy Awards last Sunday. The gown was both futuristic and elegant.

The whole Atelier Versace collection is now available to view on Versace’s new and improved website – Versace.com.

I was not surprised you picked Queen Bee aka Leighton Meester as your Best Dressed this week. But I was surprised by how much she won the poll by.

It was a landslide victory. You guys really loved her Louis Vuitton striped dress with red Brian Atwood heels.

I don’t think anyone has ever won my such a large margin.

I picked Diane Kruger wearing her stunning Atelier Versace dress.

What I loved about this dress is that it’s something we have never seen before.

No stripes, No ruffles, No floral prints…it’s totally unique.  Made completely from coloured crystals.

This Atelier Versace Fall 2009 preview has left me hungry for more, and wondering how Diane was able to sit in this dress.

Sorry if this feels like a repost but I was kindly sent the sketch of Diane Kruger’s Atelier Versace Fall 2009 dress and I just had to share.

Looking at the sketch I would say this dress was designed with both Diane and Kate Bosworth in mind.

I can’t wait to see the rest of the Atelier Versace Fall 2009 collection. I’m sure we’ll be drooling over it like the previous collections.

If you see this anywhere else, you know where it came from.
