Elizabeth Hurley



Elizabeth Hurley has been channeling the sari look since her wedding to Indian businessman Arun Nayar.

It is a look that she wears really well. I love that she is embracing the traditional female garment from India. I adore the ombre pink, and the shimmering embellishment.

This is a huge departure from her Versace split to the thigh dresses, she always used to wear.

Runway to Red Carpet:


Victoria Beckham is always impeccably dresses, even if she is going on a simple shopping trip.

Whilst shopping at Decades Two, Resurrection and Golyster, LA's premiere vintage stores, Victoria wore a black and white check high-waisted skirt from Chloe Sevigny's Opening Ceremony collection, a Balenciaga shirt, Christian Louboutin pumps and a Giambattista Valli handbag. I know a lot of you hate her style, but if I had her money, I would dress like this everyday.

Who Wore Bebe Better?

Niece of Russell Simmons, Vanessa Simmons was the first to wear this steel grey Bebe strapless satin dress, to the Grand Opening of Jay-Z's 40/40 Club at the Palazzo Hotel, Las Vegas with a matching clutch and pointy shoes.

Kimora Lee Simmons, ex-wife of Russell Simmons, posed for pictures on the red carpet at the Budweiser Select Fabulosity St. Louis Fashion Week Launch Party, in Missouri wearing a stunning violet version of the same dress.

Currently girlfriend of Russell Simmons, Porschla Coleman attended the Russell Simmons Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation Gala in Florida wearing the same dress with silver strappy sandals.

Runway to Red Carpet: Diane von Furstenberg



Kim Kardashian is surprisingly covered up - for her - in this printed Diane von Furstenberg Spring 2008 katfan.

Runway to Red Carpet: Marc Jacobs

Victoria Beckham in Marc Jacobs 2008 Resort



Victoria Beckham did what she does best, shopping with her family at The Grove in West Los Angeles on Thursday. She was wearing this 60s inspired mini Marc Jacobs Corded tweed shift dress £560/$895



Along with her dress she was carrying a Miu Miu Harlequin patchwork leather tote which I found on My Theresa.com for only $1,574/€990/£792. The bag is easy to style with a range of outfits especially with jeans and cute dresses.





Runway to Red Carpet: YSL



Sarah Jessica Parker wore a gorgeous champagne silk satin sleeveless YSL Fall 2008 dress and matching bowed peep-toes with a stunning array of Erickson Beamon necklaces.

Runway to Red Carpet: Missoni



Despite losing all of her baby weight, Nicole Richie has managed to hold onto her lady lumps, which look very impressive in this strapless, bandeau style Missoni Spring 2008 gown. The sequins on the bust area really make the dress pop.

Runway to Red Carpet: Versace



It is Victoria Beckham's 34th birthday, so to kick of the celebrations early, she dined with her husband, Eva Longoria, Kate Beckinsale, and her husband Len Wiseman at Beso, Longoria's Latin-America restaurant in Hollywood.

Victoria looks stunning, as always, in a cobalt blue Verasce Spring 2008 mini dress.

I know the "matchy police" will say that the dress, the shoes and the clutch all matching in cobalt blue is too much, but I do like her look here.

Who Wore Dolce & Gabbana Better?


Victoria Beckham first wore this Dolce & Gabbana dress dress to attend a business meeting, and for her appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Fergie wore the dress when she went shopping at Calvin Klein in New York.

Both wore dark glass, but they wore different shoes.

Again Victoria matched her dress with her shoes, but she wins for me, as Fergie shoes are way too dull for such a bright dress.

Rami Kashou also designed this fabulous metallic number for Adrienne Bailon.

When Stars Wear The Same Dress Twice - Catherine Zeta Jones



I am a huge fan of Welsh actress Catherine Zeta-Jones and her style. But I noticed that she wore the same Tory Burch dress twice.

She first wore the very popular Tory Burch black sequined 3/4 length sleeved shift dress, when she attended the Glamour Magazine Honors The 2006 "Women of the Year", in which she presented Queen Latifah with an award at the ceremony.

Catherine was supporting a her fellow Welshman Joseph Calzaghe, in his Battle of The Planet boxing match in Las Vegas.

I adore the dress, but for me Catherine wore it better without the flower and with her longer hair back in 2006.
