Continuing on our way through some of fashion’s finest press days Catherine and I went yesterday to view Karen Millen’s Christmas 2009 party pieces, plus we got a preview of the Spring 2010 collection.

Taking notes from runway collections the Karen Millen line continues to cater for a modern, fashion-focused woman. The designs are well-made and certainly worth their affordable price-tags.

First up the evening wear which was predominantly black and full of heavy embellishment and diamante detailing. The dresses are all really different, which was great as each one offered something alternate. Long and short lace sleeves were used to complement an otherwise basic dress design with a small fishtail added on the back which was an elegant touch. An asymmetric piece stood out with it’s coordinated frills traveling down the front creating beautiful soft lines in a fully feminine way.

A seasonal favourite- the sequin- was not amiss here either. I was more than glad to see shoulders and necklines covered in them. Like a magpie I quickly felt favouritism kicking in with a blue sequin cropped jacket and some black diamante encrusted shoes. The perfect accompaniment to dress up any outfit and timely for the oncoming festivities.

This Brian Lichtenberg Fall 2009 shoulder padded dress complete with hood, proves itself to be a perfect party-piece.

Contesting for the WWIB crown here we have three strong contenders.

Ciara arrived at her album launch party at the “M2 Ultra Lounge” in New York City with pulled back hair to show off her amazing bone structure and heighten the impact of those exaggerated shoulders.

Kim Kardashian choosing the sparkly number when she hit the red carpet at TAO in Las Vegas to celebrate her 29th birthday party with her sister.

She copied her BFF Ciara, by adding volume to her hair and pulling it back into a sleek ponytail.

America’s Next Top Model winner Eva Pigford…or Eva ‘Marcille’…gave a Grace-Jones style slant to the look by wearing the hood to a Halloween party.

Both Eva and Kim opted for a seasonal shoe-boot to give a punky edge to their glamour.

Although I’m not too sure about the crazy make-up, Eva wins this WWIB for me. She looks full of fun and confidence and the boots are a stylish touch.

Demi Lovato also wears this same dress at several points in her video for her new single “Remember December”.

Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner attended “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” fan event at the Battersea Evolution in London this evening.

Kristen gave us the colour we were hoping praying for wearing a multi-coloured Proenza Schouler Spring 2010 ensemble.

I love the colour…can I just say that again I LOVE the colour.

The tie-dye top has a kind of reptile print feel to it, whilst the mini skirt is soft and feminine.

It’s the perfect mix of edgy and feminine to suit the actress who less comfortable in girly clothes.

I would like to say I love this look head-to-toe, but as usual I got a THUD at the feet.

The runway shoes would have been so cute don’t you think?

Favourite look so far and we have a long way to go.

It seems like only last week, but it was actually back in June when Cameron Diaz was last on the Jimmy Fallon looking stunning in Louis Vuitton jacket paired with jeans.

This time she wore a Chanel Pre-Fall 2009 white gold buttoned jacket, which had a navy blue trim with a red stripe.

Being Cameron she of course wore her look with jeans adding a tribal necklace and ankle boots.

Cameron has been giving us a grown up look on the red carpet which hasn’t gone down too well with many fans, but here she gives us that easy breezy California chic look we all love to see on her.

She was on Jimmy Fallon’s show to promote her thriller “The Box”.

As you would expect from any Cameron/Jimmy interview, there was a lot of laughing and joking whilst they played charades with audience members.

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson grace the cover of the US edition of Harper’s Bazaar December 2009.

Are they dating?

They have me thinking yes. As many of you said yesterday, she’s not that great an actress. j/k

Plus pictures of them holding hands yesterday at a London airport only adds fuel to the fire.

Her puppy dog eyes give her away as he smoulders next to her especially in the out-takes below.

On the cover which was shot by Mark Seliger, Kristen wears Gucci whilst in the rest of her editorial we see her wearing a stunning Alexander McQueen gown, a gladiatorial Prada look, a sexy Alexander Wang sparkling mini and a glamorous Versace gown.

Here are some extracts from their joint interview:

Robert on his audition: “I was calm and collected, and then we do this thing where we’re pretty much making out. I’ve since tried to do it at another audition, but it completely just collapsed. Kristen was very different from how I expected the girl who played Bella would be. I was kind of intimidated.”

You may not know much about New York based Argentinian designer Gustavo Cadile, but you have seen his stunning designs on Catherine Zeta Jones at the Glamour Woman of the Year Awards, Giuliana Rancic at the Emmy’s, Eva Longoria at the ALMA Awards, Vanessa Williams at the Daytime Emmy Awards and many others, the list is endless.

Why do celebrities love to wear his designs?

Because they are beautiful, effortless and red carpet ready.

Like me Gustavo loves glamour, sophistication and elegance which is evident in his Spring 2010 collection.

Whether the occasion is a premiere, awards show, press conference, wedding, christening or for a lady who lunches, Gustavo has a range of gown and dresses to cover all occasions.

Can’t you just see the green gown with jewel waist band on Angelina Jolie at the SAG Awards, or the blue tulle gown on Kate Winslet at the Oscars?

Oscar hopeful Carey Mulligan would suit the pale blue cocktail dress, whilst I see Hayden Panettiere in the white dress and Emmy Rossum in the pink.

Earlier this year Gustavo was nominated as for the “Rising Star Award” by Fashion Group International. I hope his star continues to rise and we see more of his work on the red carpet.

You can view more of the Gustavo’s Spring 2010 and Resort 2010 collection at GustavoCadile.com.

In the future Gustavo plans to also create a bridal collection.

In the words of Boy George.

“It’s A Miracle”.

A miracle that L’Wren Scott - Nicole’s stylist - has decided to dress her client in something other than her own collection.

On the flipside I don’t like this look at all on Nicole.

I think the length of her red strapless Prada dress is bugging me the most, followed by those Jimmy Choo kitten heels.

She normally looks so grand and statuesque, but this look doesn’t really do anything for her imo.

This may just go to prove that Kidman and Scott creations are the perfect combination.

Taylor Swift loves to sparkle, but on this occasion she wore a cute white Carmen Marc Valvo dress paired with a matching Daniel Swarovski clutch and silver Christian Louboutin heels.

I’m guessing Taylor is saving her heavily embellished dress for the main event - 2009 CMA Awards - tonight.

The teen sensation has 4 nominations including Entertainer of the Year, Best Female, Album of the Year, and a Best Music Video.

Can’t wait to see what she wears tonight.
