It seems like only last week, but it was actually back in June when Cameron Diaz was last on the Jimmy Fallon looking stunning in Louis Vuitton jacket paired with jeans.

This time she wore a Chanel Pre-Fall 2009 white gold buttoned jacket, which had a navy blue trim with a red stripe.

Being Cameron she of course wore her look with jeans adding a tribal necklace and ankle boots.

Cameron has been giving us a grown up look on the red carpet which hasn’t gone down too well with many fans, but here she gives us that easy breezy California chic look we all love to see on her.

She was on Jimmy Fallon’s show to promote her thriller “The Box”.

As you would expect from any Cameron/Jimmy interview, there was a lot of laughing and joking whilst they played charades with audience members.

Last week Catherine and I attended the Chanel Spring 2010 press day.

We viewed the fantasy barn-themed pieces and accessories from Chanel’s Spring 2010 collection.

The collection is an eclectic mix of natural fibres, bold prints, sculpted jewellery and deluxe sportswear. There is something for everyone.

The first thing on my Spring wishlist are the awesome Chanel retro specs. Taking notes from nature the sunglasses are bordered with golden wheat ears with tinted chocolate frames to match. They are an unique alternative to the Wayfarer or Aviator styles that have been worn to death through seasons previously offering something special for sunny days.

This harvest theme continued into the accessories with rough textures forming a new-look Chanel bag. Woven neutrals; caramels, mushroom, and ecru with tattered materials in layers gave the classic bag a rustic-chic twist.

An adaptation of the clog has been created this season, in both a modest and more daring height. The shoes have a child-like, playful feel. Like something from Hansel and Gretal. This idea was further portrayed through the barnyard runway show which saw models skipping, dancing and smiling throughout.

Chanel have created a number of pieces that would make the gym seem less hard work and more playful. I love the personalised tennis racket and grey logo tracksuit. With matching pieces to layer, in purple, white and black, this bunch are made for showing off in.

We have been drooling over Thandie Newton’s red carpet choices for such a long time. She is the very epitome of style, class, elegance and sophistication.

Only Cate Blanchett can rival her when it comes to total head-to-toe perfection.

On the cover of InStyle UK’s December 2009 issue - which is out now - Thandie graces the cover looking stunning wearing a white RM by Roland Mouret Maestro wool crepe dress paired with exquisite silver jewelery.

You see Thandie smoldering in her InStyle UK shoot by watching the behind the scenes video.

In editorial below we see her wearing Chanel Couture, Alexander McQueen, Louis Vuitton and Maison Martin Margiela.

She opens up to Danielle Hine about her passions: film, family and fashion.

On being a 37-year-old mom of two but still having a ballet dancer’s figure: “That’s genetic! And I’m a Jivamukti yoga freak - it’s food for my soul. When I’m not working, I’ll drop Rip off at school and Nico at nursery, then I go to yoga. I also have an amazing personal trainer, who I see whenever I can.”

AFI FEST 2009 Screening Of “A Single Man”, LA

Ginnifer Goodwin has never played by the ‘How to Style’ book.

She usually wears little known designers to ensure she keeps her individuality, but on this occasion she wore this grey lace dress from Chanel’s Resort 2010 collection.

The dress has an usual train at the front of the dress pinned with a silver brooch.

On most this would have been a disaster, but on Ginnifer without the turtleneck it some how works.

“You Know You Want It Style - Inspiration - Confidence” Book Launch Party, New York

Leighton Meester is not afraid to venture away from Blair Waldorf’s headbands and cardigans.

We’ve seen her take risks wearing Christopher Kane, and now she dons a striking abstract print Marios Schwab Fall 2009 mini dress.

I love her wild adventurous side.

“Precious: Based On The Novel ‘Push’ By Sapphire”, New York

Here we have another fabulous Elie Saab Fall 2009 embellished LBD.

Sophie looked fabulous in hers, whereas Paula Patton looks very restricted.

First Audrey Tautou, now Diane Kruger is making me fall in love with the Chanel Fall 2009 Couture collection.

Many of you have already made claims as to who your BDOTW is, well you hadn’t banked on Diane knocking it out of the fashion ball park at this event.

I don’t think we’ve ever seen so many major players bring their ‘A’ game in one week on the red carpet.

The magpie in me is drooling over the midnight blue sequins embroidered onto the dress, whilst the cynic in me is grateful she ditched the train.

The peplum skirt appears to be longer on Diane than on the runway which I prefer.

My only criticism is that the dress didn’t need the necklace.

Blake Lively is giving us everything we expect from her.

Signature pose - check
Flawless make-up - check

But in a refreshing change of pace, Blake opted for a classic black Chanel Resort 2010 gown covering both the twins and her legs.

She could’ve worn a cute sassy dress like Diane, but some may have said accused her for being too predictable.

I applaud her for switching things up.

I think the floral corsage necklace kept this look current for the young actress.

Leigh Lezark picked the perfect dress to suit her funky personality.

The blue tulle dress is cute, but Leigh still gives it plenty of attitude as you would expect.

On the red carpet Alexa Chung is not my favourite person, mostly because has a tendency arrive with greasy hair and ankle boots no matter how pretty her dress is.

But when I see editorial like this, it reminds me how amazing the former model is.

In her editorial she wears a sequined red and black Dolce & Gabbana dress which shows off her endless legs.

Her Chanel Resort 2010 sailor chic ensemble is paired with a leather jacket, plus she’s also captured wearing a lace Stella McCartney jumpsuit we’ve seen on the Stella McCartney at the Costume Institute Gala and Victoria Beckham for Elle US October 2009.

The Stella McCartney picture is my favourite look.

This issue goes on sale November 3.

Here are some extracts of her interview with Derek Blasberg.

On whether she will return to the UK once her MTV gig is over: “I don’t know. I went to a wedding last weekend [in England] and when I got back here I was quite relieved to be home in New York. Whoa, I guess that’s the first time I actually said that and meant it “Home In New York”.

It’s a upsetting trend but some stars are skipping the red carpet for some events.

Jessica Alba was one of those stars who we only saw on stage at this event.

I guess she skipped the red carpet because she was presenting the award for ‘Most Anticipated Fantasy Movie’ to actor Johnny Depp.

A girl’s got to get ready for that moment.

Jessica looked beautiful wearing a Lanvin black floral metallic lame ¾ sleeve dress with draped detailing on the shoulder.

From head-to-toe this is the best I have seen her in a long while.

Despite being the new face of Armani underwear Megan Fox seems to love Martin Grant.

This is the second time she has worn a dress from the Paris based Australian designer.

Her red haltered Martin Grant Spring 2010 dress wraps and drapes around her toned body, as she sports a classic updo.

Anna Paquin walked on stage to accept her award for ‘Best Horror Actress’ wearing the same Marc Jacobs duchesse satin zip-embellished dress which Anne Hathaway wore to the Costume Institute Gala earlier this year.

Kate Bosworth opted for a sexy nude Alexander Wang Spring 2010 bandage dress, which she paired with leopard print heels.

Isabel Lucas is wearing a very detailed black and gold embroidered Chanel Resort 2010 mini dress, but with her newly lighten locks I just can’t help but be dumbstruck by her eyebrows.

Had I not read that this was Jamie King, I would never have recognised her.

The hair, dress and make-up are not what we would normally expect to see from Jamie who usually fades into the background.

She was front and center at this event wearing a nude Marc Jacobs Fall 2009 tiered asymmetric mini dress, which has been modified from the runway.

Love the dress, and the heavier make-up is different, but the hair is a big no-no.

Christina Ricci is always totally captivating on the red carpet, no matter what she wears.

Even her hair is quite fascinating as she changes again from light brunette to this raven colour.

She showed-off her legs wearing a Jasmine di Milo Fall 2009 dress with cut-out detailing on the yoke, paired with YSL Trib Two patent platform heels.

Olivia Munn showed off her tanned pins wearing a blue French Connection long sleeved fitted dress.

I love how this colour pops.

Victoria Justice looks like she has grown a few inches.

The Zoey 101 star was totally decked out head-to-toe in Rock & Republic.

Her look cute included wearing a Rock & Republic’s “Patricia” v-neck mini dress with leather and sheer chiffon trim paired with Rock & Republic’s “Brooklyn” military-inspired leather jacket in deep purple, and “Leena” peep toe ankle booties and “Newport” clutch in black.
