Runway To X Factor Week 6 - Cheryl Cole In Alexander Wang & Richard Nicoll

For once I loved both of Cheryl Cole’s looks on the X Factor this weekend.

On Saturday night I instantly recognised Cheryl’s plunging Alexander Wang draped sequin mini dress, as I was cruising this same dress on Friday in Selfridges.

This dress much preferred to her Jean Paul Gaultier look of last week, which felt too old for her.

She looked stunning, happy - despite her reported marriage troubles - sexy, confident and I loved how her hair was pulled back to complete this sleek look.

Silver peep-toes complemented that massive rock on her finger.

This was my favourite look so far.

Although the big hair was back on Sunday with this look, I didn’t mind it so much as I wasn’t as over the top as we know Cheryl’s hair can get.

Her Richard Nicoll corset dress with gold panels had a futuristic feel to it. If Star Wars was made today I feel Princess Leia would love this dress.

After a few weeks of Danni being on top, this was very much Cheryl’s week.

Who Wore J.Mendel Better? Eva Mendes or Selita Ebanks

Eva Mendes looked radiant when she stepped out for the closing night of the “Middle East International Film” in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates wearing a white asymmetrical J.Mendel Pre-Fall 2009 gown.

She teamed her dress with diamond hot pink jewellery from Cartier.

Victoria’s Secret model Selita Ebanks wore the same gown to “A Magical Evening” Gala in New York earlier on this month.

This column dress complements both women’s dark features and skin and I always adore white on the red carpet when done well like it has been here.

Although Eva has the impressive Cartier jewels, Selita is completely glowing in J.Mendel and I prefer how her hair is neatly tucked away to show the shoulder detail.

This draws the eye down to the gathering at the edge of the waist which then creates a beautiful fall of material down to the floor. Ten gold stars to Selita as she is the winner here for me.

Alexander Wang’s Coco Duffel Bag Is BACK IN STOCK

I’ve loved this Alexander Wang Coco Duffel bag since Mary-Kate Olsen brought it to our attention back in February before it even hit the runway at Wang’s Fall 2009 show.

The pebbled leather “it” bag is so lust worthy with its gold studs on the base, that it sold out instantly on Shopbop and Net-A-Porter the second they were uploaded.

Forget David Beckham or Ashton Kutcher - this is the ultimate arm candy.

Well good news, the duffel is now not only back in stock, but available in a total of 4 colours.

Unlike last time I’ve snapped one up before they sell out again…so I would advise you to hurry and purchase yours from Shopbop.com in black leather, suede mocha, grey leather and denim leather.

Best Dressed Of The Week - Taylor Swift & Park Bo-Young

Despite many of you objecting to Taylor Swift’s obsession with embellished dresses, you still voted her Best Dressed this week in her Reem Acra tulle gown.

I was very close to voting for her myself, but I’m still mesmerized by Park Bo-Young and her cloud-like gown.

So much so that I can forgive her pairing her gown with those heels.

There wasn’t much to wow about this week - after we were so spoilt for choice the week before - but Park stood out by a long mile.

Rihanna in Stéphane Rolland Couture was a close second.
