Yesterday Katy Perry attended the 2009 MTV European Music Awards press conference with Pete Wentz, and Joss Stone in Berlin.

Katy will be the main host. Pete will host the digital show whilst Joss will host the pre-show red carpet segment.

I’m praying Joss does a better job than Ashley Greene who was terrible hosting the pre-show at the MTV Music Video Awards in back in September.

Katy caught my eye wearing a nude Jenny Packham Spring 2010 chiffon dress with a playful feathered skirt.

She wore her dress with sheer tights and Louis Vuitton Cancan heels.

This is a nice warm up for the main event tonight which will no doubt see many wardrobe changes from the host.

Last year we saw her wear Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Elie Saab and The Blonds.

Check back later on tonight to see what she wore.

AFI Festival is in full swing.

First Charlize Theron wowed us in Christian Dior, now we have the stunning Eva Mendes attending the same festival to promote her new movie “The Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans”.

The actress glided down the red carpet wearing a Chris Benz Spring 2010 multi-coloured plunging dress covered in paillettes.

The long sleeved sexy dress has an asymmetrical hem line with a central split which hugs Eva’s curves.

I can’t help but be jealous of her flawless barely there make-up, as she glows on this red carpet.

Like Charlize no bling necessary, just Brian Atwood Maniac heels and a black gold trimmed clutch to complete the look.

BDOTW is going to be impossible.

Before you pop out to get your sandwich from Pret A Manger, you should also pick up a copy of Harper’s Bazaar which features Victoria Beckham on the cover.

Victoria Beckham plays the noir heroine caught in sultry reverie in an exclusive fashion shoot for a special double cover December issue.

The critically acclaimed fashion designer, who has wowed the critics and top designers alike with her sexy elegant dresses, unveils an amazingly toned body and tight top knot hairstyle in a 16 page portfolio of sexy, chic photographs.

Photographed by Alexi Lubomirski, Victoria wears a range of seductive yet feminine looks from an Yves Saint Laurent leather bodysuit to her own figure-hugging silk gazar dress.

In the spectacular Harper’s Bazaar cover spread, several famous designers, including Antonio Berardi, Manolo Blahnik and Roberto Cavalli, also give their expert verdicts – all positive - on Victoria’s designs, a further acknowledgment that the industry is taking her seriously as a designer.

In the interview, Victoria also reveals to Harper’s Bazaar the secrets of her remarkable success and why fashion is her true calling . . . .

On staying true to her path: “People never believed the solo singing career, and it wasn’t the real me – I was a little bit lost at the time. I don’t mind making mistakes. I just can’t live with anyone else’s mistakes. I’m a complete control freak. I’m not the easiest person to work with because I’m so passionate and being a working mum, it’s a balancing act.”

The last time we saw Charlize Theron on the red carpet we were less than impressed.

I was certain it was a one-off.

Charlize proves that by gracing the red carpet last night at the LA screening of “The Road” during AFI Festival looking outstanding wearing Christian Dior - of course.

Her silver lurex Spring 2010 wrap dress has a lace trim decorating the neckline and a draped detail on the hip.

The first thing I noticed when I saw Charlize were her bejeweled Giuseppe Zanotti flats.

On most this would be a major no-no, but as with most things it works for Charlize.

Her wavy up ‘do suits the retro look she was going for, but it’s the maroon lips which stand out because it’s a shade we’re not used to seeing on the actress, plus it gives her a very grown up look.

The actress sparkled in her dress and wisely opted out of wearing jewlery, but did add a silver quilted Christian Dior clutch to complete her look.

If you thought BDOTW was going to be a forgone conclusion, Theron has changed that.

For Fashion’s Night Out in New York City, Rihanna celebrated this event at the Giuseppe Zanotti Boutique with other celebrities such as Michelle Trachtenberg and Sienna Miller.

The singer paired her Alexander Wang hooded goddess dress with Giuseppe Zanotti for Balmain embellished booties, studded glasses and spiked bracelet.

Cindy Crawford was at the launch of the “OMEGA Constellation 2009 collection” last month wearing the same dress.

Cindy kept the look simple with a pair of strappy sandals so she wins for me.

As usual Rihanna was trying too damn hard.

This Alexander Wang hooded dress is available to purchase from Shopbop, Browns Fashion and farfetch.com.

I can’t believe I almost missed this.

Michelle Obama was speaking at the James J. Peters Veterans Administration Medical Center in New York last week with with Jill Biden.

The First Lady wore a tiger print blouse with a scoop neck with structured shoulders from Peter Pilotto’s Fall 2009 collection.

She paired the blouse with maroon wide-leg trousers and black flats.

Michelle continues to show support for up and coming designers, first Jason Wu now the London based designers Peter Pilotto and partner Christopher De Vos.

This is so admirable and I hope this is something she continues to do in the future.

This top is current available to purchase from farfetch.com.

Victoria Beckham like Prabal Gurung has a huge celebrity following.

Drew Barrymore is very much channeling grown up chic these days, as her look has matured.

The good thing is the Drew we all know and love still shines though.

She walked the red carpet last night wearing a well worn Victoria Beckham violet Giral strapless dress with black satin Casadei heels.

I do love the dress on Drew, but the jeweled pin feels unnecessary.

Victoria Beckham and Katherine Jenkins have worn the dress in this rich violet colour, and they have also both worn the black version along with Elle Macpherson.

This is the dialogue as it happened in my mind as I was looking at Kate Beckinsale on this red carpet.

“Kate Beckinsale is stunning, she never lets me down on the carpet. She’s glowing in her J.Mendel Spring 2010 dress. I wish I had her legs…..” THUD.

That thud stopped at her feet. Seriously Kate, why?

We’ve established that YSL Trib Two’s are the most comfortable shoes in the world, but they’re not doing any justice to her pretty marble jacquard strapless structural J.Mendel dress.

A contrast like this can be great on the red carpet, but this on this occasion it doesn’t work for me.
