Premiere

Kristen Bell glowed wearing a coral BCBG Max Azria Spring 2010 mini dress straight off the runway.

The dress has a sheer asymmetrical panel and sheer panels in the cut-outs on the side of the dress, so it gives the illusion of this dress being strapless.

Kristen is a cute, young and fun so this dress suits both her style and personality.

Jimmy Choo heels and a Celestina clutch complete her look.

I’m really loving Malin Ackerman’s new hairstyle, it makes her look so sophisticated and chic.

A chic new ‘do needs a beautiful dress and she wore exactly that.

Her strapless Marchesa strapless floral brocade dress brings out her golden complexion.

I love the print, the ruffled bodice, and her pink suede Sergio Rossi heels which perfectly complement the dress.

We’ve already seen this dress worn by the designer Georgina Chapman.

Photocall

For her photocall look Kristen wore a lilac Rebecca Taylor silk tank dress with a bejeweled bodice.

She teamed her dress with the same Choo’s she wore at the premiere.

Malin’s Nicole Miller dress has a geometric print bodice with a black high-waist skirt which makes her look about a foot taller.

The Nicole Miller dress was paired electric blue Sergio Rossi platforms.

When I met Donatella Versace on Friday after her Versace Spring 2010 presentation, she told me that she likes to modified pieces from the runway to suit her body, and that’s exactly what she did here.

A tropical print mini dress with coil details at the waist, becomes a figure-hugging black dress with coil details cinching in Donatella’s already tiny waist.

I adore both looks.  She really is amazing.

Janet Jackson’s Versace Fall 2009 gown wasn’t modified but hers was electric blue to the runway’s black.

The wrap around gown was also nipped in at the waist to give Miss Janet that perfect hourglass figure.

Giovanna Battaglia does a good job of wearing this Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 blue and pink dress with a lace overlay without making it look comical.  In fact she looks better than the runway.

She paired her mini dress with a pair of LV Fall 2009 lace up boots with a pink trim and a pink clutch from the same collection.

Dita Von Teese wore a Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2009 hot pink satin long sleeved ruched dress with black waist belt.

This dress is quite refreshing on Dita as her dress with the exaggerated shoulders isn’t too structured.

I doubt Poppy Delevigne knows who Chiling Lin is, but she OWNED this Salvatore Ferragamo gown when she wore it to the 2009 China Huabiao Film Awards last month.

Because of that fact this stunning gown just looks OK on Poppy as I know how amazing this gown really is on the right person. Plus Chiling wore it without the sheer detail on the neckline which is not doing much for Poppy.

Anja Rubik is one of my favourite models of the moment.

The super look gorgeous in a dazzling Gucci Fall 2009 embellished sparkling mini dress.

She paired her edgy dress with studded booties to complete her rock chic look.

Gwyneth Paltrow wore the runway grey version of this Salvatore Ferragamo Fall 2009 gown last year, but I much prefer Maria Sole Brivio Sforza’s bright coral version.

My only claim to fame is being the first to recognise that Angelina Jolie wore this Max Azria Spring 2009 dress back-to-front at the SAG Awards earlier this year.

WAG Kristina Liliana Matthaeus, wife of legendary footballer Lothar Matthaeus, wore the dress the right way at this event pairing her cornflower blue gown with a snake skin clutch.

I’m not quite sure when I pushed the snooze button on Rachel Bilson, but I even though she is wearing a beautiful Salvatore Ferragamo gown with a black clutch by the same designer I don’t feel wowed by any means.

This Bilson/Ferragamo collaboration just doesn’t feel natural.

I’m not crazy about the bodice on Chanel Iman’s black silk gown, but she looks very elegant and statuesque on the red carpet, but she should have got her guest to stand up stream from her so he could have looked a bit taller.

Her sparkling belt and diamanté wedges add bit of sparkle to her look.

Didn’t Linda Evangelista once say that she’d rather go naked than wear fur?

10th Anniversary Woodstock Film Festival Launch Party, New York

Lucy Liu, you I love you more than most but this BCBG Max Azria Fall 2009 dress does nothing for you.

I don’t like the colour nor the shape.  It looks restricting like a straitjacket.

I will however compliment you on your Krocoa black patent clutch and dove grey peep-toes.

The Wonderbra Party Edition Launch, London

I only had to look at those fine embellishments around Dita Von Teese’s bust line to recognise that this black fitted skirt suit is by Dior.

The perfect silhouette for our porcelain princess.

Style360 Fashion Week Closing Party, New York

I’m quite surprised how much I like this chocolate brown embellished Hervé Léger by Max Azria Fall 2009 bandage dress.

She paired the dress with the perfect pair of strappy sandals.

NSF, The Human Society, And The GQ Magazine Benefit, LA

With her boyish crop Ginnifer Goodwin flashed us a smile wearing a leopard print Escada Fall 2009 button down dress with a fold-over detail, paired with black satin Brian Atwood “Starlet” pumps.

The lengths those Kardashian sisters will go to outdo each other sets a new low in attention seeking.

Khloe Kardashian who I believe is set to get married to her boyfriend of 5 mins this weekend, arrived at this event wearing sheer black sweater dress, which exposed her bra.

Seriously is it that hard to realise a nude bra will show up under a black dress such as this?

I’ve been on the fence regarding thigh-high boots for a while now, but Khloe has totally killed any desire I may have been secretly harboring.

Her Christian Louboutin Supra Fifre 120 thigh-high boots are so ‘Pretty Woman’.

“Par Coeur Gala” for Association Make A Wish with Tony Parker, Paris

Eva Longoria’s purple strapless dress neither excites nor disappoints.

It’s on-the-fence OK.

Gucci and Windsor Smith Honor Dr. James Orbinski and Dignitas International, New York

Camilla Belle opted for a navy blue wool kilt dress with buckle detailing down one-side.

Her look is paired with Gucci midnight blue platform heels and grey Gucci clutch.

I have grouped Carrie Underwood and Kellie Pickler together because they are equally tragic.

Seriously ladies what happened to you?

Did you lose Naeem Khan and Georges Chakra’s number?

The BCBG Max Azria Spring 2010 was all about prints, bod-con and asymmetrical dresses.

We were presented with vivid colours, geometric colour blocking, draping, black chiffon overlays and embellishments.

There were a lot of pieces wrapped or draped with chiffon which added a sexy edge to the collection as this fabric covered most of the peek-a-boo cut-outs.

I’ll imagine the bod-con dresses will be very popular with young Hollywood, but there was something for everyone from the daytime dresses to the sexy mini dress to the evening gowns.

The collection was as expected was youthful, sexy and fabulous.

You will be surprised to know that you can ALREADY shop this collection.

BCBG have capitalised on the fact that when we see it on the runway, we want it now. Not 6 months down the line.

Go to BCBG Max Azria’s website to shop this collection.

I didn’t spot Amanda Bynes at the show, and I was deeply disappointed as I would’ve seriously asked her ‘what gives’ with the ‘Never Changing Hair and LBDs’.

Yes I would have seriously asked her, in a really polite way of course. Especially when she would have had a wealth of free dresses to pick from for this show, yet she still opted for ANOTHER LBD. *bangs head against Starbucks table*

I hope she’s at the Herve Leger show because I HAVE to speak to her. It’s my fashion week mission.

It’s rare that I find any woman taller than me, but Keri Hilson was.

Not only that but she is BEAU-TI-FUL. I never noticed until today.

Pictures do not do this girl justice because I was in awe.

The singer was wearing a BCBG ensemble paired with camel heels and an outstanding statement necklace.

I think I have a new girl crush.

I do like this chartreuse BCBG Max Azria Fall 2009 dress, but I preferred it on the runway to Lynn Collins.

Click here to see who else was at the show.

If you have been following me on Twitter, you would’ve seen my post on Anna Wintour who I saw as she made her way into the BCBG show whilst I queued.

The editor-in-chief of Vogue was of course wearing Prada.

Garcelle Beauvais arrived at US Weekly Hot Hollywood Style Issue Event back in April wearing a head-turning BCBG Max Azria asymmetrical dress with a blouson bodice and a front panel that created a fluid drape.

What really makes this look special is the stunning statement piece that adorns her neck.

Arielle Kebbel kept her dress simple at the “Maxim’s 10th Annual Hot 100 Celebration” in Santa Monica, by just wearing a black pumps and a black clutch.

At the Cannes Film Festival Elsa Pataky attended the “Akvinta Presents A Night of Hollywood Domino Party” wearing the same dress with a less impressive necklace plus a black clutch and bronze peep-toes.

Garcelle wins this by a landslide all thanks to that stunning necklace.

My first show of this New York Fashion Week, was the BCBG Max Azria Fall 2009 show.

Max Azria is no doubt predicting a mild winter, because he didn’t present any pants, and only a few pieces of outerwear.

Instead of pants we were presented with both gold and silver metallic tights, which makes a nice change from black, of course.

The collection started off with lots netural colours, then moved to moody blues, moss green, black and deep purples.

Although there were lots of dresses, but they came in many variates. Draped, layered, asymmetrical, diped in dye, gathered, and folded.

My favourite was the teal, green and chartreuse dress in the middle. It grabbed my attention because it was such an interesting mix of colours.

She wore a white dress under a black cropped jacket. Although I liked her accessories of a baby blue Chanel purse and violet heels. They not only did not go with each other, but they also did not go with her ensemble.

I also kinda noticed Amanda Bynes, but from the back with all that hair, she I thought she was Lauren Conrad.

The recently single actress looked pretty in a pink strapless mini.

Kellie Pickler was the surprised guest for me at this show, as unlike the other two, I do not see her as a BCBG type of girl.

Her knit dress, was almost as white as her foundation.

Other celeb spotting of the day was Peaches Geldof at Bryant Park, holding hands with a guys who was not her now soon-to-be ex husband. Noemie Lenoir walking her two dogs in Greenwich, and Kimora Lee Simmons in her black out truck with her window down, so everyone could see her.

The colours of the collection were very beautiful, but very reminiscent of the Spring 2008 collection, as were the belts.

The collection had shiny satins, cosy cashmere, dresses, both for daytime wear and cocktail parties, wide-leg trousers, short skirts and wool coats.

The second ensemble from the right has a touch of Lanvin in the collar.

Azria has two more fashion shows later in the week, Herve Leger and their high end Max Azria brand. I must have been a busy 6 months for them.

You can see the whole collection here.

The front row included:

Sophia Bush was the most high profile guest in the front row. She wore a peachy ensemble from the BCBG Spring 2008 collection.

Brit singer Joss Stone was also in attendance wearing a white jersey dress.

Christina Milian was sporting a seriously strange bouffant.

Ana Ortiz decided not to bother dressing up for her first appearance at Fashion Week.

Amerie looks tired with that honey coloured hair. Even Beyonce has moved on from this look. Amerie looked so much better with black locks.
