We all went gaga of the soft pastel pieces with the twisted details in the Burberry Spring 2010 presentation, which many of us saw live online.

Many of the celebs who were front row at the Burberry show wore pieces from that collection, but we haven’t seen anyone else wear the collection until now.

Last week Lim Soo Jung arrived at the press conference for her new movie “Tale of Jeon Woo Chi” wearing a complete Burberry Prorsum Spring 2010 head-to-toe look, right down to the socks and leather strappy heels.

The only thing different was that Lim’s twisted skirt was a lot longer, and she wore a matching coloured shirt.

I would’ve preferred the length of the runway skirt on Lim, and the lighter shirt to break up the two pieces.

Surprisingly I’m not crazy about this look.

Han Ye-Seul looks exquisite wearing a red Valentino gown with a bow accent on the side.

Her pose and smile tell me she LOVES her gown.

We’ve seen this stunning creating a few times on Shu Qi and a shorten version on Tamara Mellon.

Yoon-A opted for a sassy 3.1 Phillip Lim for such a formal event, but she looks so adorable all is forgiven.

Her dress is paired with Christian Louboutin open-toe heels, whilst carrying an interesting clutch.

Michelle Williams wowed us wearing this dress in white a few months ago.

Park Bo-Young is quite pale, so this white rise and fall hemmed gown shouldn’t work, but I LOVE it on her.

The gentle ruffles are so feminine they melt my cold heart.

Her fur accented heels are very Frederick’s of Hollywood, but I do like her silver clutch.

Kim Min-Sun has a body and a gown to die for.

I love the rich purple colour and the crystals that cover her sweetheart neckline gown.

She’s simply breath-taking.

“Love Your W” is a fund raising event hosted by W magazine to support breast cancer research and awareness in Seoul.

As always the Asian ladies give us a wide variety of looks to marvel at, with a few re-runs.

Min Hyorin paired Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 Cancan heels with her shorten Chanel Resort 2010 dress.

I love the look, but I would have preferred her to wear the dress without that huge necklace.  It feels so heavy against the delicate white lace ruffles on her dress.

We have seen Choi Kang Hee’s Christian Dior Pre-Fall 2009 strapless red and black floral dress on Coco Rocha, Olivia Molina and Kim OK-Vin.

I love the dress, but I really wish she had given us something new.

Like Min Hyorin in Chanel above, Hong Soo Hyeon shorten her red Salvatore Ferragamo Fall 2009 dress.

I love the dress shortened as it’s suits her sparkling personality and makes the dress more youthful and fun.

Regular readers will know that I hate exposed bras, but there’s something about Jae Shi Ra’s look which makes her bra appear to be part of her purple Salvatore Ferragamo Fall 2009 satin dress.

Yoon Eun Hye’s bra exposure is as deliberate as Jae Shi Ra’s, but it really ruins her Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 look despite the bra being cleverly colour co-ordinated with her nude and black trimmed LV ensemble.

This look would have been one of my favourites if the lace blouse was lined, and the hem wasn’t so discombobulated.

Jeon Do Yeon opted for a black draping Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 black dress with sparkling layers to make the dress shimmer.

Halle Berry wore this same dress to party at the 12th International Shanghai Film Festival.

I much prefer Han Hye Jin’s electric blue Gucci Fall 2009 dress, to the runways aqua.

This silk dress is quite simple, but bold in colour and print.

Park Ji Yoon wears a Christian Dior Pre-Fall 2009 ensemble we have already seen on Dita von Teese.

Hwang Shin Hye’s Chanel Fall 2009 black and white look even includes black ankle boots with a white trim.

You have to admire Rinko Kikuchi, as she always keeps things interesting on the red carpet.

The actress opted for a head-to-toe Sophia Kokosalaki Fall 2009 runway look which is ever so slightly modified.

The gold strappy dress with a black skirt, is gathered and embellished with silver panels.

What I love most about this look are Rinko boots.

She looks like a warrior, on her way to battle.

A much as I love Zoe Saldana and her Giambattista Valli Spring 2010 orange floaty mini dress, it doesn’t feel quite grand enough for a Film Festival opening ceremony.

Her previous look would at the “Avatar” stage greeting would have been preferred.

The shoes are also killing me.*yikes*

Sigourney Weaver has the tendency to drop some stink bombs on the red carpet, but she comes up smelling of roses on this occasion wearing a petrol blue satin off-the-shoulder gown.

Japanese actresses Tae Kimura, Ryoko Hirosue and Miki Nakatani walked the red carpet together, each wearing red dresses in various styles, shades and textures.

Ryoko in the middle opted for a strapless silk chiffon Derek Lam dress with frayed ruffles at the ruched bodice, which she paired with champagne coloured heels.

Tae’s red strappy gown is very elegant in it’s simplicity, and Miki strapless velvet gown is divine.

I always wondered that if this Chloe Fall 2009 halter nude dress was worn on the red carpet, if the wearer would be tempted to belt it.

Japanese actress Rie Miyazawa didn’t, she kept the dress loose and floaty.

I love the ruffled collar on this dress.

Fan Bingbing joined her cast mates at the premiere of her new film “Wheat” last week, which opened in cinemas yesterday.

Many of you know I have a massive girl crush on the beautiful Fan.

She always looks so amazing on the red carpet, and admire the fact that she doesn’t stick to the same formula.

As you can see from these two looks she can go from quirky a Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 look with YSL heels, to a stunning Valentino gown paired with an exquisite diamond necklace.

You may remember that Rachel Weisz wore this same gown during Cannes Film Festival.

In promoting her new film, Fan has appeared on two major magazine covers.

The first was the September 2009 issue of InStyle China.

She is an absolute knock-out on the cover wearing a embellished wool crepe two-tone dress.

Hair, make-up and accessories are all working together to make this a stunning cover.

Her second cover is the October 2009 issue of L’Officiel China magazine, where she wears a Chanel Fall 2009 look which includes the runway white hat.

She’s back.

Zhang Ziyi it back on top form after being outshone by her co-stars and failing to impress on recent red carpet outings.

Zhang arrived at this event wearing Chanel Couture Spring 2009 dress - rather than her usual Armani - looking absolutely breath-taking.

Unfortunately I couldn’t find a full-length picture, but it’s all about her stunning dress with it’s floral appliqués and black sequin stripes.

Fine silver jewelry complement her delicate look.

Definitely a BDOTW contender.

Fan Bingbing usually wears a lot of girlie colours especially pinks, but on this occasion she wore a dark olive Givenchy Fall 2009 layered floor length Georgette gown.

The one-sleeve gown had a padded shoulder, a draping panel on front, and half a peplum.

A high up ‘do covered with a head wrap or turban, with a long wrap-around leaf detailed necklace, a black bangle and black ankle strap heels completes this edgier look for the beautiful actress.

It’s not often we see two Chanel Couture looks on the red carpet at once, but Zhou Xun also wore a dress from the Chanel Spring 2009 Couture collection.

Her ivory creation was minus the runway collar, but Zhou added a statement necklace to her strapless ensemble.

I love the look both ways, but I like that the actress made the look more interesting for us by modifying from the runway look.

Pearl pumps completed the look.

Shu Qi who you will remember as one of the judges from the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, walked the red carpet wearing a strapless pink Salvatore Ferragamo Spring 2009 satin gown.

The gown was gathered above the waist with a circular silver clasp, which complemented her silver necklace.

Walking to the venue we were able to get a glimpse of Shu’s Roger Vivier heels.

I haven’t seen as much Christian Dior on the red carpet as I would have hoped this year, but Carina Lau fulfills my requirement wearing a Christian Dior Fall 2009 fuchsia pink Indian inspired gown covered in exquisite embellishments.

Again this is not a full-length photo, but Carina more than does this gown justice, pairing it with a stand out Dior clutch but keeping jewels to a minimum to let the gown do all the talking.

Chiling Lin showed off her amazing figure wearing a Salvatore Ferragamo Fall 2009 gown.

She makes this backless plunging gown look like a well crafted piece of art sculptured to her body.

I’m sure she left jaws dropping in her wake of her stunning beauty.

Diamond earrings were all she needed to add to this look.

Actress Yoon Eun Hye arrived at her “My Fair Lady” press conference last week held at Ritz Carlton Hotel in Seoul, wearing a Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 dress.

She looks so elegant in her black dress which has a blue pom pom in one of the sleeves, and a matching ribbon tied to her waist.

Once again I’m glad that she didn’t feel the need to accessorize with the LV Cancan shoes, but she did wear a large pearl in her red hair like one of the models on the runway.

Moon Chae Won opted for a sexy Versace Spring 2009 mini dress with a heart shaped zipper detail on the neckline.

She wore her dress with Christian Louboutin heels with a black chiffon petal detail running along the front of the shoe.

A selection of rings and a gold leaf detail bracelet complete the look.

At the press conference the shows posters in the background reveal how fashionable this show is going to be.

Behind Yoon you can see she is wearing a Louis Vuitton blue dress, as worn by Madonna at the Costume Institute Gala.

In this poster Yoon is wearing the Balmain Spring 2009 denim jacket we saw Rihanna wearing earlier this year.

The drama is set to air August 19th on KBS2.
