I totally expected Maggie Gyllenhaal to give us something interesting on the red carpet at the 2010 Oscars, and she didn’t disappoint.

The nominated actress wore a Dries van Noten strapless dress which was made from the same print we saw in the recent Fall 2010 presentation.

The draped evening dress with ruffle in the back was hand painted in bright blue brush strokes which fading out to white at the hem.

I love the dress, the pink lips and her swept back into an elegant chignon.

Her look was paired with Fred Leighton jewels.

“A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Cure Parkinson’s” Benefit, New York

Whilst trying to keep up with Fashion Week, LeeAnn sent me a note to tell me to make sure I looked at the Dries van Noten Spring 2010 collection.

I’m glad she did because I instantly fell in love with the ethnic prints and the one-sleeved blazers.

I often wondered who would be the first to wear this collection, and that honour went to Julianne Moore.

She looked fabulous in this hard to pull off ensemble.

Her ethnic print wrap dress was paired with a black blazer trimmed with a white strip to complete this unusually chic look.

Granted it won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but I love it.

Wow.

Katharine McPhee blows me away wearing a Marchesa Fall 2009 one shoulder sculpted dress.

I’m even loving the hair with this look.

Either I’m coming down with something or Katharine just hit her first home run.

BDOTW contender.

Alexa Chung opted for a cheap yet chic Topshop studded one-shoulder dress paired with booties.

She arrived wearing a questionable leopard print coat.

‘Late Show With David Letterman’, New York

My first reaction was that I didn’t like Ashley Greene in this Bottega Veneta Resort 2010 striped suit, but after so many great red carpet dresses this look feels refreshing.

It also shows that both Ashley and her stylist are thinking outside the box, and not playing it safe.

My main problem is actually the striped shirt, because the suit is not so bad.

I think I would’ve loved this look if the shirt was a solid colour, or if Ashley had worn the same suit Penelope Cruz wore back in July.

London Evening Standard Theatre Awards, London

Anna Friel loves Antonio Berardi as she has worn his pieces many times before.

Not so many times that she needs an intervention like Leona Lewis does from Vivienne Westwood, but enough to know she appreciates his stunning designs.

The textured dress had an asymmetrical chiffon detail that moved beautifully on the runway.

Black pumps complete the look.

Christmas Illuminations Launch On The Champs-Elysees, Paris

Just last week I was complaining that we haven’t seen enough of Balenciaga’s Fall 2009 collection on the red carpet, and here we have Charlotte Gainsbourg upping the count to make 3 following Carine Roitfeld and Salma Hayek.

The actress arrived at this event wearing one of the printed plunging blouses paired with the lace bandeau, leather pants and peep-toe heels.

Aching cool as always.

“Brothers” New York Screening

For some reason I just can’t fall in love with Natalie Portman wearing this cute Jason Wu Spring 2010 strapless mini dress.

The dress has all the ingredients to make Natalie shine: the ruffles, the colour, the length and the contrasting waist belt, but it gets no love from me and I can’t figure out why.

The actress paired her dress with Aldo purple heels.

Emma Roberts opted for a Miu Miu Resort 2010 summery dress brought down with thick tights.

Navyboot Store Opening, Germany

Monica Cruz hasn’t yet met a Herve Leger bandaged dress she didn’t like.

This is 3 in a row.

Before Cheryl Cole, Cat Deeley was the nations sweetheart.

The TV presenter arrived at this event wearing Givenchy Holly strappy leather heels with a Preen Matt Lightening dress.

If you are thinking the dress looks a bit awkward, that’s because the thick strap on Cat’s right shoulder – as we are looking at it – should be on her left shoulder.

Regardless she still looks fabulous.

“Adam” New York Screening

Rose Byrne looked stunning wearing a baltic blue lace Christian Cota turtleneck dress with structured shoulders.

The actress teamed her look with a slicked-back ponytail, Bottega Veneta jewelry, Brian Atwood patent quilted Maniacs pumps and a silver Max Azria clutch.

Rose never disappoints.

Claire Danes looked stunning supporting her fiancée Hugh Dancy at the premiere of his new movie last night.

As always she kept her look simple wearing a white Zac Posen strapless gown with an eye-catching leaf waist belt.

Entertainment Weekly And Syfy Celebrate Comic-Con, San Diego

Hayden Panettiere looked fabulous wearing a violet Zuhair Murad Spring 2009 strapless cocktail dress with ruched detailing, as she was spotted leaving the “Entertainment Weekly and Syfy Invade Comic-Con” party.

Sporting that glow which everyone is radiating at Comic Con, Hayden paired her dress with a rose clutch and black Christian Louboutin heels.

Despite this being a simple strapless L’Wren Scott dress Jennifer Love Hewitt fails to pull it off for me.

The dress should have been shortened as it stops at a very awkward length.

The actress arrived with her boyfriend Jamie Kennedy who appears to be auditioning for a part in Zoolander 2 with that pout.

The Comedy Central Roast Of Joan Rivers, California

I never thought I would ever feature Joan Rivers in my blog, but comedienne walked the red carpet wearing a gold Dries van Noten Spring 2009 cropped jacket to spruce up her LBD.

Work it girl.

Melissa Rivers opted for a coral Herve Leger dress.

Give credit were credit is due, she does look amazing in the dress, but I’m lusting after her nude platform Louboutin’s.

Disney Stars Join Rich Ross At “A Summer Soiree – The Magic of Mentoring”, Beverly Hills

Ashley Tisdale wore a simple white dress with a tulip skirt with the same studded Miu Miu Rivet sandals we saw on Sarah Jessica Parker recently.

Is Selena Gomez a teen or a middle aged woman? Because from this look it’s hard to tell.

These Disney girls are becoming so boring.

First the honeycomb silver sequins remind me too much of the dress she wore to the New York premiere last week, and I was expecting something fresh new.

There was no wow factor, which I usually have when I see Nicole, and I really disliked her hair pulled back.

The only thing that works for me are here Pierre Hardy heels.

The star took a night off wearing white and her favoured designer L’Wren Scott, to wear a gold and black sequined Dries Van Noten Spring 2009 dress.

I liked that Nicole chose to wear an elasticated belt with her dress, as it gives her a nice silhouette, and had she worn it as it appeared on the runway, she would have been accused of hiding a baby bump.

I love her hair, the black leaf details and the honeycomb skirt.

Another great look for Mrs Urban.

Rihanna and her girls went shopping Monday afternoon in Milan, were it has been reported that the singer spent some serious dough.

I spot Burberry and Missoni bags.

Rihanna was wearing a cute floaty Stella McCartney Strawberry patch dress, which is now sold out, but still available as a blouse, with Dries Van Noten Spring 2008 runway sequin and semi-precious stone sandals with brown leather ankle straps.
