Tinsley Mortimer was spotted arriving at the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Party looking like a princess.

This Versace Spring 2010 gown is the perfect gown for the blonde socialite.

It has the perfect mix of the sexy metallic bust, with the bright pink chiffon flowing skirt.

She paired the gown with a silver fringe Samantha Thavasa clutch of her own design.

I think Paris Hilton will be mad she didn’t wear this dress first as it’s would look amazing on her also.

When I see pink I think Paris.

“30 Rock” star Jane Krakowski looked amazing at the 2009 Emmy’s last year.

She glided down the red carpet wearing a Versace Fall 2009 pearl grey off the shoulder gown which was entirely beaded.

With her hair styled into a loose updo and flawless make-up, she carried a silver clutch to complement her look.

German actress Bettina Zimmermann wore the same dress to the 2009 Bambi Awards, but she carried a gold clutch.

The asymmetrical cut of this dress suits Bettina so well and makes her look so sleek and elegant.

This is a tough one as both ladies look gorgeous, but I love Bettina’s brunette hair against this pearl gown so she wins for me.

The sound of motorbike engines revving before the Versace Fall 2010 presentation was a clear indication that this show was going to come at us hard and fast.

It was so fast that the pictures I took were nothing but a blur as the model stormed the runway.

The biker influence was evident in the first half of the presentation as models were kitted out in leather jackets, suede pants with leather panels and plenty of zippers.

The Versace gowns had a futuristic feel to them with geometric metallic panels, but they still retained the signature high splits and multiple cut-outs.

As the models stormed the runway one person sprang to mind. Kate Hudson.

Her body would look outstanding in these looks. She would equally do justice to the many mini dresses presented.

Like the gowns they had metallic geometric panels plus fringed details which worked both the futuristic and biker theme.

I especially liked the finale silver strapless dress with the fringed skirt.

It wasn’t all about sexy dresses.

Donatella also presented turtlenecks, sweater dresses, wool coats, furry gilets and a tuxedo jacket as worn by Freja who has the most controlled confident walk of all the models I’ve seen this fashion week.

Versace finale’s are always interesting.

This season the mirrored panels which separated the room lifted skyward to reveal the models perched on podiums or standing on the stage.

It’s raining in London today, but thankfully the rain didn’t ruin both Camilla Belle’s and Penelope Cruz’ red carpet moments this week.

Camilla looked fabulous in fuchsia Marchesa gown to win your votes. There’s nothing this girl can wear that we don’t all admire.

I was more taken by Penelope in both her looks this week, but more so by this stunning simple Versace gown.

Her black phase appears to be well behind her.

Hopefully I haven’t spoken too soon.

Penelope Cruz was in Madrid last night to attend the 2010 Goya Awards, which is the Spanish equivalent to the Oscars.

The actress who was not only a presenter on the night, but she was also nominated Best Actress for “Broken Embraces”.

Pen looked stunning wearing a vintage Gianni Versace ivory column gown with vertical signature “Gianni” Versace zippers in the back of the dress.

I loved the colour on her. So much more refreshing than the black gowns she tends to often wear.

The cut and silhouette is exquisite, and she just as beautiful from the front as she is from the back.

Kelly Lim first wore this stunning floor length Fall 2009 Versace gown to the 12th Annual Shanghai International Film Festival back in June of 2009.

I love the low cut of this dress and think it shows of Kelly’s figure beautifully.

Kelly short hairstyle also really suits this look.

Blake Lively then wore this dress to the Emmy’s in September 2009.

I’m really pleased she pulled her hair back with this dress.

I also think the simple bracelet was a nice way to accessorise this look.

Brazilian actress Fernanda Lima then wore this dress to host “Oi Fashion Rocks” in Brazil in October 2009.

I love her blonde locks against this gown but do wish she’d worn her hair off her shoulders.

All three ladies look stunning in this gown but Kelly just takes the lead here in my opinion.

What do you think?

It’s an oldie, but a goodie.

Garcelle Beauvais shows that you can’t keep a good dress locked in the archives when you have a body that can do this much justice to it.

The mother of 3 – yes 3 – looked outstanding walking the red carpet at the “Valentine’s Day” LA Premiere last night.

She looked sexy wore a navy PVC strapless Versace Fall 2008 dress with a fold detail on one hip.

Her dress is paired with Givenchy studded heels from the Fall 2009 collection.

Head-to-toe she looks pretty darn amazing to me.
