There has been much discussion today about the YSL caged heels, and who actually wore them first.

David has kindly pointed out that it was in fact Tilda Swinton and not Becki Newton, as I had stated earlier nor, Ciara, as kindly pointed out by Profashionelle.

Tilda wore the silver caged heels with a dove grey YSL Spring 2009 pant suit, during the Berlin Film Festival last month, when she attended the premiere of The Dust Of Time.

Regular readers will remember that I kinda disowned Tilda during that time, as she was sporting some frock horrors, and as a result I missed this look. And it’s not at all bad, in fact this is one of her best looks this year, so thanks to David who made me go back and search for this.



If you are lusting after these heels as much as myself and Nik, you can purchase them at Matches Fashion, who have the YSL Booties for £905. Whereas Luisa via Roma have the YSL cage boots (€1,100), the YSL cage booties (€890) and the YSL cage sandals (€650).

There is something very charming about Keira Knightley’s boyish Chloé Pre-Fall 2009 ensemble, which she wore to the Cheri premiere, during Berlin Film Festival last night.

Unfortunatley it’s her hair that ruins this look for me. The curly hair does not quite suit this edgy look, and the bangs are too heavy and too blunt.

The British actress completed her look with Chanel diamond studded heels, and of course a Chanel purse.

I’m well aware of Tilda Swinton’s unusual style, but usually that’s what makes her so fantastic.

As one of the judges at the Berlin Film Festival she has walked many red carpets. On this occasion, it’s just not working. I’ve been trying to ignore Tilda since the opening ceremony, but I couldn’t ignore the hat she wore last night to the Cheri premiere.


I know it must be bitterly cold in Berlin, as it is here in London, but a bit of pizazz or creative flair, would really warm my heart.

I prayed it wouldn’t get any worse, and it did.

When I was trying to predict Freida Pinto’s Oscar de la Renta BAFTA gown, this pink Spring 2009 gown was in my top 6.

Instead it was Blake Lively who had the honour of wearing this gown to The Private Lives Of Pippa Lee premiere, at the Berlin Film Festival last night.

I love the plunging neckline, the red sash tied to the waist, but I don’t like her posture.

You’re in a gown that cost thousands of dollars, throw your shoulders back girl.

This grungy slouch is not befitting of this gown. Freida would have done it justice.

I can’t even talk about that ‘just got out of bed hair’.

Tila Swinton is in Berlin for the 59th Film Festival.

Last night she took the red carpet for the opening ceremony, and quite frankly I was horrified.

I love Tilda Swinton, she is a Brit, and a risk taker on the red carpet, but this Thakoon Spring 2009 nude gown is horrendous on her.

She never wears shapely clothes, so that’s not the main problem, the problem is the colour.

Nude is the colour of Spring 2009, but this gown totally washes her out. If it weren’t for the ruffles and the pleats, I would have thought she was naked.

This is not the adventurous Tilda I know. This is quite a safe, simple route for her.

Maybe because she is a jury member at this festival, she decided to dial down her edgy side. I say bring it back IMMEDIATELY. Rodarte, Givenchy, Lanvin, Dior…put a call into them now Tilda.

Natalie Portman was a jury member at Cannes last year, and her red carpet look excelled in wonderful Lanvin dresses, so being a jury member should not = boring.


Oh and that’s not the worst part. Just look at what she wore to the photocall, earlier in the day. I wouldn’t wear this Balenciaga Pre-Fall 2009 dress, but it doesn’t look as bad on the model, as it does on Tilda.

I crying inside, this really hurts. I hope she improves as the festival goes on.

If she turns up at the BATFAs on Sunday wearing something equally horrendous, I don’t know if I would be very disappointed.
