I was honestly very excited about the Herve Leger Fall 2010 presentation.

Firstly to see how Max Azria reinvigorates that now infamous bandage dress, and secondly to see who would be in the front row.

I was keen to see something new and interesting and this was presented via the laces woven into the dresses, and pieces with exaggerated hips.

The dresses were strapless, asymmetrical, half bandage/half lurex, ruffled and beaded.

Apart from bandage mini dresses we also saw coats, bodysuits, bandage pants, laced bandaged tops and slashed boots.

I did like many of the pieces. The collection walked a fine line between sophistication and urban edge.

I can see them being very popular with fans like Diane Kruger, Miley Cyrus and the rest of young Hollywood.

Dazed Editor Susie Bubble – who was seated behind me – broke etiquette by jumping in front of my video as I was filming the finale and ruined it unfortunately.

Sophia Bush was there wearing a futuristic Herve Leger dress.

Maggie Q is even more petite in real life. Her blue strapless bandage dress really popped in the front row, but she should’ve gone up one size to an xxs.

A bandage dress with tights??? Come on Tinsley Mortimer.

Alison Brie has been front row at a lot of shows I’ve attended, but I had to google her to find out who she was.

Jessica Szohr was carrying the Gossip Girl torch wearing a black blue striped bandage dress.

Unfortunately most of the celebs at Fashion Week are not generating much excitement.

Where’s Blake Lively and Leighton Meester?

This was one of my favourite looks from Ali Larter last year.

The “Heroes” actress attended the 2009 Whitney Contemporaries Art Party And Auction in New York last year wearing this bone print Hervé Léger by Max Azria Fall 2009 dress.

She added a stunning Erickson Beamon necklace with a large orange pendant to her plunging dress with padded shoulders.

Although I loved the dress, I hated the clunky heels.

Jennifer Lopez wore this same dress after she performed at LIV Nightclub in Miami.

She paired her dress with jewel encrusted Jimmy Choo “Quinze” sandals and a white clutch.

Both look amazing in this dress, but Jennifer’s Choo’s win this for me.

When it comes to WAGs the only one who’s currently entertaining is Alex Curran, since it doesn’t seem right to call Victoria Beckham and Cheryl Cole WAGs as they both have careers.

Abigail Clancy is the latest WAG (to soccer star Peter Crouch) who seems to be doing well for herself, as she’s landed a spot in the ‘Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’ issue which is no mean feat.

The Liverpudlian attended a star studded event to celebrate the issue last night in New York.

She wore a taupe Hervé Léger crystal-embellished bandage dress which was a very predictable choice for a WAG and a swimsuit model, but she does look good in her halterneck dress.

The dress is embellished with crystal embellishments, which she combines with Sergio Rossi platform heels.

In her photoshoot Abbey has a bikini and half of an England shirt painted onto her. You can see her full Sports Illustrated photo shoot here.

Last year Jennifer Lopez was spotted wearing Herve Leger several times, most notably at the “This Is It” LA premiere.

It seems like her love for the brand continued this weekend when she arrived at LIV Nightclub in Miami with hubby Marc Anthony wearing a bandage dress from the Fall 2009 collection.

The plunging white mini dress had a bone print all over and padded shoulders which she teamed with a white clutch.

Her jewel encrusted Jimmy Choo “Quinze” sandals are becoming a celebrity favourite as we’ve seen them worn by Heidi Klum and Diane Kruger.

Jennifer definitely has the body for these bandage dresses, but they are becoming way too predictable.

Kim Kardashian circa 2007 predictable.

Kristen Stewart first wore this Hervé Léger by Max Azria Resort 2010 white and black body con dress on “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien” back in November.

I always think that something’s missing when it comes to Kristen, and on this occasion it’s a hairbrush.

Although she’s smiling, so that’s an improvement!

I do love her choice of shoe.

Anna Friel wore this dress after her last “Breakfast At Tiffany’s” performance at the at the Theatre Royal in London last month.

I love her faux fur coat, which was essentially as it’s freeeeezing in London!

I also love the red lips – the only accessory this dress needs.

I prefer Anna’s choice of shoe as well.

Although I’m not crazy about her hair either, I’d like to see this dress with something sleeker.

For me, Anna wins hands down.

What do you think?

I was expecting to immediate dislike whatever Miley Cyrus wore to the 2010 Grammy Awards, but I was pleasantly surprised.

The girl who has a knack for not dressing age appropriately for once got it right with this denim Hervé Léger by Max Azria Spring 2010 bandage dress.

The dress is dark and moody, so I’m surprised – but thankful – that Miley kept her make-up light.

Her look was paired with black strappy Balenciaga sandals and a box clutch.

Cheryl Cole walked the red carpet at the “DLD Starnight” music ceremony in Germany last night.

We’ve become used to seeing Cheryl wear couture lately, but last night she opted for Herve Leger.

She paired her gold strapless embellished dress with gold heels and a sparkling clutch.

Although I do like Cheryl’s shorter do, I would really like her to do something more dramatic with the style.

Cheryl later performed her #1 single “Fight For This Love” and Will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas joined her on stage for their duet “3 Words”.

On stage she wore a black Sass & Bide jumpsuit which was heavily embellished with thigh-high mesh cut-outs.
