Newlywed Coleen McLoughlin is back in the UK after her £5million wedding and Las Vegas honeymoon.

Showing that married life has not muted any of her style, Coleen arrived at Kylie concert at the MEN arena wearing a bright canary yellow one shouldered ruffled Lanvin Spring 2008 top, with dark wash high-waisted jeans.

Last year Coleen was set a challenge by ITV2 to find naturally beautiful women to be the face of eight brands in her own series called Coleen’s Real Women.

Coleen won some and lost some but this summer she’s more determined that ever in her quest to find for real women to win 10 new high profile modelling assignments.

*WAGs (or Wags) is an acronym used particularly (but by no means exclusively) by the British tabloid press to describe the Wives And Girlfriends of the England national football team. It came into common use during the 2006 World Cup, held in Germany, although it had been used occasionally before that.

Gwen Stefani was one of the first celebrities to wear some thing from the now very popular Lanvin Spring 2008 collection.

When Gwen attended the “Black Ball”Concert for “Keep A Child Alive” event back in October last year, the singer wore this haltered toga dress, with a black belt, and Christian Louboutin fringed sandals.

The newly single Incredible Hulk actress, Liv Tyler wore the same dress, also with black sandals, for her appearance on Jay Leno last week.

Despite the poor quality of Liv’s picture, it is still easy to see that Gwen wore it better.

Padma Lakshmi was the first to wear this very feminine pink Lanvin Spring 2008 strapless toga dress, when she attended the Baby Mama premiere during the Tribeca Film Festival.

The TV presenter, who owns many Lanvin dresses, accessorized her dress with a pair of gold strappy sandals, a gold chain belt and a gold clutch.

Lord Of The Rings actress Liv Tyler, wore the same dress last night to the MTV Movie Awards.

The recently single actress wore her dress with a matching pink clutch and animal print Louboutins.

I am not crazy about Padma’s belt, so Liv wins this one for me.

The Lanvin Spring 2008 collection stayed away from the floral trend of the season. Instead it included Grecian goddess gowns with horsehair hems, tunic dresses covered in feathers, flapper-style dresses, tiered dresses and ruffled cocktail dresses.

Celebrities can not get enough of Alber Elbaz stunning designs…

…especially author/actress Padma Lakshmi, who has an enviable collection.

If you had not heard of Lanvin before Cannes Film Festival, you most definitely do now, thanks mostly to Natalie Portman, who wore the signature tiered ruffle cocktail dresses many times on the red carpet.

Alberta Ferretti, Marchesa and Roberto Cavalli all dressed many celebrities at Cannes, but Natalie Portman, Carine Roitfeld, Kristin Scott Thomas, Gwyneth Paltrow and Linda Evangelista, stood out, and were most talked about in Lanvin’s unique collection.

It has been exciting seeing so much of Lanvin on the red carpet lately, the only problem with so many fantastic celebrities wearing them, is that people like Heidi Montag, Paris Hilton, Jenna Jameson, will soon catch on that wearing these stunning dresses = exposure, so they may starting wearing the collection.

Do you remember how Herve Leger was first worn by the likes of Kate Bosworth, Catherine Zeta Jones and Emily Blunt when she collected her Golden Globe Award?

Now it’s worn to death by Kim Kardashian, Melanie B and Audrina Patridge.

It is not just the red carpet were we are seeing a lot of Lanvin.

Many dresses from the collection have appeared on both models and celebrities in editorials within magazine all over the world.

Drew Barrymore’s March 2008 US Vogue editorial, featured two dresses from the collection.

The stunning advertising campaign, shot by Steven Meisel. The shots are enchanting with its vivid colours, wildflower background and the haunting stare and pale skin of model Olga Sherer.

The store window in Paris was just a beautiful.

Fans were used in the window, to display the billowing nature of the mushroom-cloud dresses.

It is my summer wish, to own one of these gowns.

Supermodel Iman, first wore this silk purple Lanvin Spring 2008 strapless mini ruffled dress, when she attended a party thrown by Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz, back in October last year in New York.

Actress Natalie Portman, who appears to have the keys to the Lanvin closet, wore the same dress to the Blindness premiere last week at the Cannes Film Festival.

Both ladies wore black patent pumps, a black belt and wore their hair back, but Iman wore tights.

As much as I dislike tights with fabulous ensembles, I still have to give this win to Iman, as the ruffles on the top of her dress are not flopping down like Natalie’s.

Gwyneth Paltrow has looked amazing at every premiere and photocall during Cannes Film Festival. One of those amazing dresses was this white Lanvin Spring 2008 draped goddess gown, which she wore to the Chopard Trophy Party.

The stunning dress has stones embellishments and ruffled detail on the shoulder, which is barely seen.

Gwyneth wore her dress with Chopard cuffs and a black clutch. The actress continued her love affair of funky footwear, by wearing another pair of gladiator heels by Balmain.

Padma Lakshmi also wore the same dress in yellow, to the FIFI Awards in New York last night.

She wore her dress with a black belt to accentuate her waist, a black clutch and sexy heels with a flower detail.

Both women are stunning in their dresses, and have made their dresses unique to them, which makes it impossible to pick.

The dress appeared on the runway with a belt, and the dress looks great with and without it.

I could see myself in both colours. I love both their shoe choices…….I hate to be predictable and go for the most famous person, but Gwyneth just wins this.

This Lanvin Fall 2008 collection was more edgy than previous collections.

The collection included dramatic black LBD’s, costume jewelery, 1980s styling, power dressing and embellishments.

All the pieces were wearable and versatile, with incredibly beautiful cocktail dresses, chic suiting, skinny black trouser suits and strikingly embellished evening-wear.

The colour palette was subdued with mostly black with some grey, creamy beige and gold.

Elbaz designs for the strong woman who longs for a little luxury. My favourite was the creamy beige layered dress.

Chic in Paris was at the show.

Jessica Alba was in the front row wearing free flowing Lanvin Spring 2008 grey dress which she ruined with a belt.

Lucy Liu surprisingly for me still manages to appear front row at a lot of shows.

She attended wearing a white top and black pencil skirt from the Lanvin Fall 2007 collection with a red clutch.

All the models at the Miu Miu collection were sent down the runway wearing ensembles with their initials on it. Maybe to help the probably tired models remember their names, or just to make the process of identifying “who was wearing what?”easier.

They all looked like a team of athletic swimmer preparing for the Olympic Games, with the rubber bathing caps covering their heads.

The collection was made up of cycle-shorts, with padded hips, which were paired with either sweat-shirts, leotards, cropped jackets, or body-hugging T’s.

The colours were black and grey, black and olive, black and red-currant.

It is not usual for me to dislike an entire collection, but there was not one piece I could picture myself wearing.

Chloe Sevigny, the Queen of Quirky dressing was front row wearing a black satin dress.

I bet even she would have trouble making this collection work in reality.

Mischa Barton was also in the front row wearing a lavender asymmetric dress and fushica Stella McCartney shoes.
