Versus Fall 2010 continues to go from strength to strength as the younger flirtatious sister of the main Versace brand.

The hemlines continue to be short, but this season we see more of a colour pop.

I loved how the majority of the dresses had a fitted bondage-style bodices with a pleated skirt which fanned out.

These were very much party pieces, but the more wearable looks included a plum velvet jacket, a green velvet blazer, black cigarette pants, leather jackets, an angora cardigan and printed tees for everyday wear.

This collection shows Kane’s edgy side whilst still retaining the sex appear of Versace which I really appreciated from this collection.

The accessories were amazing with lace-up gladiator boots and sandals to bags and cute zippered clutches.

The prints you see on the bag and tees are archived images of Bruce Weber ad campaign images for Versace.

At the end of this video Marco interviews Christopher Kane.

It seems that everyone (including me) is in love with Mrs Cole.

She has gone from pop star to a WAG to X Factor judge winner to everyone’s favourite fashionista.

Her wardrobe during the recent X Factor shows was near flawless, so we’re glad Glamour UK have helped with our withdrawal symptoms by putting her on their February 2010 cover.

She looks stunning Christian Dior Spring 2010 corseted dress, plus her trademark big hair – no doubt this shoot was done before her big chop.

She talks about her husband Ashley Cole – who cheated on her last year – being labeled a fashionista and her feud with Lily Allen.

Here are some extracts from her interview.

On her husband Ashley: “Ashley is totally the opposite of how he is perceived. People have this idea that he is flash, ignorant and disloyal – the ugliest traits a husband could have. But he’s not. He’s never rude, he’s never aggressive and will go out of his way to make other people happy. He’s shy and he’s cute, but there is no way of proving that to people.”

Jessica Szhor is the last main member of the “Gossip Girl” cast to have a solo Teen Vogue cover.

Her February 2010 cover sees her wearing one of my favourite looks from the BCBG Max Azria Spring 2010 collection. I also loved the red Versus safety-pin dress below.

The self-proclaimed “jeans and tee shirt girl” is refreshingly down-to-earth in her interview.

She opens up about her modest attitude towards fame, her relationship with Ed Westwick, and her big screen debut this April in the spring-break thriller “Piranha 3-D.”

Click here for information on the February cover and behind the scenes footage from the shoot.

On her Gossip Girl co-stars and double-dating with them: “I’ve heard horror stories form other actors about egos, people who don’t get along, but we’re all friends. There are people from this job who will be in my life for a very, very long time… Sometimes we double-date with Penn [Badgley] and Blake [Lively], or Leighton [Meester] and Sebastian [Stan]. We all hang out.”

I searched all over and couldn’t find anything modified on Donatella Versace’s Spring 2010 strapless blush gown.

I guess her mantra was in this case, ‘if it ain’t broke why fix it?’

I would go as far as to say that I prefer this gown on Donatella, because the bodice is more tightly fasten giving Donatella a stunning silhouette.

Shakira got the honour of wearing a gown from the recently presented Atelier Versace Fall 2009 collection.

The gunmetal gown had a corseted bodice which reduced the singers already tiny waist, before skimming her famous curves and revealing her sexy legs via a central split.

Leather details accented the strapless gown, which looks great on Shakira but fails to wow as I would’ve expected.

Despite Lake Bell wearing a simpler gown I love the way she totally owns this look.

The colour is divine on her olive skin and the cut accentuates her toned figure.

Taylor Momsen wore stunning nude Grecian Versace Fall 2009 chiffon gown embellished with metal details around her waist.

I love the gown, but hair and make-up pour cold water all over this look for me.

She could have laid off the heavy eye-liner for one night.

Nothing surprises me about Alexa Chung’s look. The ankle boots were very much expected.

I’m just glad she’s not wearing them with a beautiful gown.

Mischa Barton is already quite a broad shouldered girl, so I was surprised she picked the only gown from the Versace Fall 2009 collection which would highlight her broad shoulders.

The sapphire blue is beautiful on her though.

Lisa Edelstein may not have been wearing a Versace gown, but her Pamella Roland Fall 2009 black gown was just as a elegant as the rest.

I love the black velvet spiral detail around her waist and the bejeweled strap.

Great look for her.

If this was a model face-off Isabeli Fontana would win.

The Versace Fall 2009 aqua dress is hugging her in all the right places, whereas it’s just hanging off Chanel Iman.

Lindsay Lohan arrived at this event wearing a fluffy pink Versace Fall 2009 coat, but removed it inside to reveal a strapless gold mini dress.

I expected it to be from her recent Emanuel Ungaro Spring 2010 disaster collection, but the gold dress may have been custom made for her by Donatella for this event.

Since Jennifer Hudson had her baby boy we haven’t really seen her glammed up on the red carpet until this event.

She didn’t let us or herself down by looking like a fairytale princess wearing a blush pink Versace gown, which she paired with a matching pink clutch and diamond bracelets.

She was my 3rd favourite of the night after Lake Bell.

Taylor changed into a Versus Spring 2010 mini black dress, as she was the DJ at the after party.

I guess this explains the heavy eye make-up, as it’s much more appropriate for this LBD.

The stockings?? I can’t even go there.
