Putting away her sexy corset dresses for the night, Kelly Brook wore a black Louis Vuitton Fall 2008 dress which had a peplum at the waist, and a panel of embellishments on the front of her dress.

Her dress was paired with Christian Dior Glam booties.

You may remember that Satsuki Mitchell wore this same dress to the “Defiance” London Premiere back in January this year.

I have several problems with Katherine Jenkins and her Jil Sander sculpted dress.

Firstly she would have looked amazing in the orange dress. So many people wore black on this red carpet, so she would have really stood out in orange.

The most important structured drape on one side of the dress looks really limp, therefore ruining the whole effect of the dress.

Lastly she folded the detail on the shoulder when it should have stood up like on the runway.

This is such a great dress, but she didn’t do it any justice. She might as well have just worn a pencil dress for all the love she is giving to this architectural masterpiece.

Katherine’s look was paired with YSL heels and a black clutch.

I would have been totally in love with Louise Redknapp in her Peter Pilotto digital print dress, had she not worn those ankle boots.

She’s not a particularly tall lady and those boots make her legs look really short.

Dannii Minougue is stunning as always wearing a leopard print strapless Lisa Ho Spring 2009 gown.

The Aussie continues to support designers from her home country both on the red carpet and on the X Factor.

Dannii co-X Factor judge Cheryl Cole also hit the red carpet.

I love the her hot-off-the-runway (2 days to be exact) one-shouldered Chapurin Spring 2010 LBD with the sheer corseted panel on the waist, but it still lacks the wow factor I usually get from Cheryl.

Maybe my expectations are too high, as her everyday style is so impeccable.

Kimberly Walsh of Girls Aloud to walk the red carpet at this event and she wore a cute asymmetrical LBD, with a large rosette detail on the shoulder.

This dress was not a runway dress, but I remember it from the Temperley London Fall 2009 presentation I attended in February were I took a picture of Kimberley exact dress.

Nicola Roberts attended the Vivienne Westwood Spring 2010 show this weekend in Paris.

Bizarrely she wore a Vivienne Westwood Gold Label Lily wedding gown, which is the shorter version of Carrie Bradshaw’s wedding gown.

Her pretty wedding dress was given an edgy as she carried a Alexander McQueen skull knuckle duster whipsnake clutch, and Christian Louboutin Candy Stud Pumps.

Alexandra Burke needs to fire both her make-up artist and her stylist, because on this evidence neither are doing her any justice.

Yes her gown is white, but that doesn’t mean she needs to colour co-ordinate her eye shadow.

Black pumps with a white gown?  Really?

REALLY?

I applaud Myleene Klass for wearing such a risqué dress on a cold and rainy night, but this LBD screams I want to be on the front page in the morning.

Her feathered clutch is adorable though.

Mr & Mrs Kay aka Tess Daly and Vernon Kay walked the red carpet together still looking every much the loved up couple.

He wore a midnight blue suit, whilst she looked gorgeous in a nude shimmering fitted dress with a ruffled bib.

Do shoes come in a colour other than black these days?  I wonder because they seem to be paired with everything on the red carpet.

Socialite Tara Palmer-Tomkinson looked very happy to be at this event.

The socialite paired a Azzedine Alaia dress with hot red Charlotte Olympia shoes.

Michelle Keegan kept warm from the damp weather by wearing her cute pink Lipsy London heart layer dress which has a bejewelled waistband, with a black blazer.

Abbey Clancy continues to prove that she doesn’t own a dress that doesn’t expose her underwear.

I’m loving that new hair cut on Kara Tointon.  It’s much more sophisticated that the chavy look she had on Eastenders.

The actress thankfully went against the LBD theme and wore a silver sequined fan print dress.  With black pumps of course.

Newlyweds Gary Linekar and Danielle Bux walked the red carpet together.

He looked dapper in a navy suit, whilst she look very sexy in a strapless Dolce & Gabbana dress paired with black sash around her waist.

Although Emma Bunton went with the LBD trend, she did add a gold sequined cape to make her look more interesting.

Lisa Snowdon might as well have worn a LBD as her nude Whistles Abstract sequin dress and those thick tights are not doing her any favours.

What happened to the red carpet sex kitten?

So much happened yesterday so I closed the poll early.

Even had I given this poll a few more hours to run, I’m sure Alexis Bleldel would have still won.

You guys fell in love with her Christian Siriano Spring 2010 ensemble which she paired with red hot Dior heels.

I fell in love with Kate Beckinsale in Jil Sander.

The simple sophistication of the strapless navy dress and Kate’s flawless beauty won me over.

Maybe it’s because I’m sitting in an air conditioned Starbucks or maybe it’s because Kate Beckinsale looks so drop-dead gorgeous, but I have goosebumps right about now.

I LOVE the simplicity of Kate’s Jil Sander Fall 2009 strapless gown.

The structure of the bodice, and the draped detail on the hip are exquisite.

She’s so effortless, so chic, not a hint of the over-dresser she used to be.

Kate pairs her look with gold accessories and very loosely ties her hair back.

We waited months for Jil Sander to hint the red carpet, and now we’ve had 3 looks in a space of a week.

Guess who has just booked herself a place on the BDOTW list?

When I saw Tilda Swinton at the “Io Sono L’Amore” Premiere during Venice Film Festival I was a tad disappointed as it felt something was missing from her look.

Then I saw the back her Jil Sander Fall 2009 white dress and I cursed myself for believing for one second that Tilda would ever let me down on the red carpet.

I didn’t recognise the dress until I saw the contrasting navy draped back panel. It was a pleasant and interesting surprise.

Tilda screams elegance from her strawberry blonde quiff to the tips of her Jil Sander Fall 2009 platform heels.

Including her Haider Ackermann look at Cannes Film Festival, this is one of my favourite looks from Tilda this year.

You can purchase Tilda’s stunning dress from the Net-A-Porter US site for $2,345, or the Net-A-Porter International site for £1,250/€1,440.

Earlier that same day Tilda attended the photocall for this movie wearing another Jil Sander look.

This time she was wearing a plain white suit with no surprising contrasting panels.

She looks fabulous as always.

Guess were Victoria Beckham was going when she wore this stunning orange Jil Sander Spring 2008 mini dress, with 5in Jimmy Choo heels.

She was going to her son Romeo birthday party. This would be a strange outfit for most mothers, but most mothers are not Victoria Beckham.

The family headed to Universal Studios theme park last week, with a large groups of kids with their A List parents including Heidi Klum with her daughter Leni and son Henry, Gavin Rossdale his son Kingston, Geri Halliwell and daughter Bluebell Madonna.

In other Beckham news, the ex-Spice Girl presented her own clothing line at New York Fashion Week to buyers and editors this week.

The 15-piece collection is said to be very much her signature high-end look with strictly tailored and lavishly embellished pieces with embroidery and hand-sewn beading.

The label will say both Victoria Beckham and dVb, and the collection is priced between $600 and $1,400 at wholesale.

I can very much picture Victoria Beckham wearing both these dresses, especially the blue one on the red carpet.

“Dresses are very signature for me, as I have always dressed in a very feminine and ladylike manner,” Victoria said. “This collection may be new, but it’s been a lifetime in the making for me.”

You can view the whole 15 piece collection here.

Burberry Prorsum’s Fall 2008 collection had many heavy winter coats of varying sleeve lengths, with fingerless gloves and knitted beanies kept out the chill.

Necklaces on the coats and most pieces added a touch of glamour.

The slim satin bellbottom trousers were my favourite pieces, followed by the feathered cocktail dresses.



I am a girl who loves, sequins, embellishments, beading and high end glamour, but I am so in love with this mininmalist, very well tailored collection from Jil Sander. I would go as far as to say this is one my favourite collections of the Fall 2008 season.

The jackets and coats collars were twisted, highlighted and sculpted around the necks of the models.

Despite the structured pieces, everything was very wearable.
