Now it's the turn of Jesse Metcalfe to guard against those pesky inside-airport rays, this time in a pair of aviators at LAX. (Yes, he wore them outside too. But that's no excuse).
He's got the glasses, he's got the hat - now all he needs is a comedy beard and his disguise is complete.
Doh! There it is.
But disregard the OSO cunning LOOKATMEI'MFAMOUS! cover-up, and we're left with a bod of great buffity.
Who'd have thought a nondescript grey hoodie could look so good?
She's pictured here having a bit of a shopping spree, so you can see her logic. Flies have multi-faceted eyes that can see everywhere at once, do they not?
I would have thought that being able to see all the clothes rails/ stacks of homeware as soon as you walk into a shop would be a useful and time-saving device when trying to fit a spree into your busy schedule.
Of course, Nicky Hilton doesn't have a busy schedule as far as I'm aware. In which case, maybe she's wearing them to lessen the risk of being swatted.
I do believe that Sienna's powder blue sunglasses are from the new Ray-Ban Wayfarer range. I also believe that they look like she's taken them out of a nearby toybox.
But who's to say that's a bad thing? I'm hoping the theme will take off and eventually include, say, plastic click-clack heels and an old dress of your mum's (the one that was comically passe until it crossed some invisible line in the space-time continuum and became vintage).
Anyhoo. Here's Sienna, wearing aforesaid sunnies inside Heathrow airport (they really should do something about the harmful ultraviolet rays in that place) having just landed from LA, and looking splendid in high-high boots and a daringly bright white coat.
A pleasingly high-maintenance flight outfit from one of our favourite fash icons.
In our quest to stay on the pulse of high street fashion, it's important not to forget about those essential basics. The key to a successful wardobe, in my opinion.
This cute mauve tank from Miss Selfridge has caught my eye today for a couple of reasons.
1. Its colour. Moving on from the deep purple that was so popular in Autumn, this pastel shade with a hint of grey brings it into Spring/Summer.
2. The material. This cotton nylon mix means you can stay warm whilst still showing a little skin in our attempt to bring on Summer.
When Ashlee Simpson dyed her hair bright red, I was convinced it was a style no-no.
'What can you wear with that colour hair, apart from black?' I said to myself. Then I saw her out and about in a bright pink frock coat (click here to find out how to recreate the look) - and realised you never say never in the world of fashion.
Admittedly, Ashlee stuck to safe black for her appearance on MTV's Total Request Live yesterday - but check out those lips! That's baby pink if ever I saw it - my ginger sister's number one style enemy.
Ashlee obviously knows pink lips are where it's at this season - and has a very clever make-up artist who knows how to work them, even with red hair.

Blimey, Lynne Spears is really getting into her 'tough love' role, isn't she?
Not content with battling it out in the courts to protect daughter Britney from her 'manager' Osama Lufti, she donned a hoodie for her return to LA yesterday - presumably to reinforce her now 'hard' image.
Of course, as hoodies go, it's not exactly gangsta. You'll find ribbed cream knit will take the edge off most ghetto wear.
But hey, it's a start. The tattoos, bling and 'hos will probably come later.
It’s every girl’s dream. Your rich boyfriend takes you out shopping in Milan and carries your bags!
Wayne Rooney fulfilled all Coleen's fantasies in Italy yesterday - and he didn’t even have the ‘moody man shopping with girlfriend’ face.
If only he'd had a shave, it would have been perfect.
The recently engaged couple spent a bit of well deserved together time in the city doing what Coleen does best - shopping.
She dressed appropriately for the occasion, with some pretty red peep-toe courts and a cream mac worn over jeans. She completed her look by accessorising with giant sunglasses and a well-dressed fiance in a leather jacket.
Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are always telling us how they grew up together 'like sisters'.
So it’s no surprise to see they could be true sisters (in law at least), as Paris has been secretly dating (Don’t you just love when celebs do that?) Benji Madden, brother of Joel, who's shacked up with Nicole Richie.
Good Charlotte guitarist Benji was spotted shopping with new love Paris, proving she’s already got him well trained. Carrying the bags too - it must be love.
They’re even doing that thing that 'sleb couples do when they’re really in love – colour co-ordinating their outfits. Posh & Becks in matching Gucci ring any bells?
Let’s hope they don’t morph into each other too much. Paris Hilton covered in tattoos wouldn't be a good look. And Benji Madden saying “that’s hot”? So wrong.
Real mums look like hell in the morning. After a night of broken sleep, they slump out of bed, pull on the nearest pair of jeans & comfy boots, wrestle their little darling into something that resembles a school uniform, and head for the school gate.
And - look at this - internationally famous, style icon SJP is no different!!! Yes, Sex and the City's style doyenne has opted for UGGs, jeans and a big old woolly hat as she packs her son 'Mini Broderick' (can you think of anything more cute..) off for school.
Thank the lord for that! I was beginning to think being a celebrity solved everything in life.
Hooray for the levelling effect of motherhood!
It's not something you think about every day. What does one wear to visit one's husband in prison? You don't want to stand out... but would you really want to blend in either?
Being one of the crowd isn't something Amy's exactly famous for, but by the look of things she's gone to some effort to hide her beehive (rather unconvincingly) and make sure she's wearing both breasts. As you do.
With the parky weather of late it's surprising, quite frankly, that's she's not smuggling peanuts. I don't want to sound like her mum (And didn't she seem lovely at the Brits?), but where's your coat Amy? It's freakin' freezing and you're wearing a vest top. We hope Blake told you to wrap up warm.
Burberry are going to be green with envy when they see the Mulberry tote Kate is sporting with great panache.
The bespoke Bayswater beauty, with alligator skin no less, is worth the kinda money you'd put down for a deposit on a flat.
As for the rest of the outfit, she-who-can-do-no-wrong in the style stakes is looking ace as always in patent lace-ups and faded grey skinny jeans. Something I could only carry off when I was ten – school shoes and drainpipes ain't an easy look.
The good news? The next time I'm out lunching with my rocker boyfriend in Primrose Hill I could definitely carry off the bag, even if the rest of the get-up is a mite tricky. (P'raps I'll go for the 'cheap' classic version rather than the bespoke one, mind.)

You see a man in a pair of shorts and long socks and you can't help but wonder what he might look like on a night out.
Thankfully Spurs player Jermaine Jenas didn't disappoint when he hit the town to celebrate Tottenham's Carling Cup win (Carling who? No, we don't care either) at Faces nightclub in Gants Hill.
Not wanting to go overboard, Jermaine teamed up his shirt and slacks with a scarf and cap. Interesting... but somehow it works.
By the sounds of things it wasn't a night for being all suited and booted anyhoo – allegedly Joanne Beckham and Danielle Lloyd got involved in a cat fight. Let's hope they didn't flash any control pants in the scuffle.
Earlier in the evening Penelope turned up at the Oscars in a stunning black feathery number, but just hours later she had switched to a (very now) one shouldered black slinky dress, swapped her diamond danglies for hoops and va va voomed up her hair.
Clearly that's why every celeb needs a stylist. Imagine planning two drop dead outfits in one night AND accessories?
Pen was off to a private party with boyfriend and Oscar winner Javier Bardem and his mum (she's the one on the left).
Who'd have thought X-Men's Wolverine could look, well, quite so damn sexy?
Of course it's his hot board shorts that first catch the eye, but it's kinda hard to stop that eye travelling upwards and admiring a mighty fine set of pecs.
Hugh was spending Sunday at the beach in Sydney with his family and his stunt double while taking a break from his latest film, Wolverine.
Sadly he's still looking rather hairy around the chops and wolves don't really 'do it' for me. But I might have to get my boy down to Quiksilver to snap up a pair of Ozzie style boardies.... here's hoping they'll have the same effect on his chest.
Red seemed to be the theme among the A-Listers at this year’s Oscars.
Heidi Klum wore this stunning Galliano couture red dress. But as great as she looks, I struggled to think of a reason why she was at the Oscars last night. Anyone?
I mean, I can’t think of any films she has starred in or directed recently. Or ever. But hey, I suppose she did need an excuse to wear this dress. It's not like you can get away with popping down to your local in it!
Katherine Heigl continued the red theme with a slightly more understated one shoulder dress. She teamed the long gown with some stunning diamond earrings and a cute little silver box clutch, finishing her look with red lipstick that matched her dress perfectly.
Kathy (as she likes me to call her) is clearly a fan of red dresses - she wore another simple and classy one at the Super Bowl Victoria's Secret Party.
If you feel inspired by the recent red trend too, then click here to head over to OSOYOU.com and take a look at our Katherine inspired red dresses list.
And why not vote here on who did the red dress trend best?
So, I’m back at OSO Towers and although it’s good to be back in the world of shopping and cyber chat, a rather large piece of me still wishes I was lazing on the beach in my bikini reading the Phillip Pullman trilogy.
So, with the spring/summer vibe itching to get out on this rather brisk day, today’s pick is a pair of acid wash skinny jeans – a definite fixture for my summer wardrobe.
This pair from Warehouse epitomise the pale and soft denim trend that will be all over the high street.

It could have been the BAFTAs all over again at the 2008 Oscars last night, as Marion Cotillard and Tilda Swinton both scooped awards for their stunning lead and supporting actress roles.
Marion won for her performance in La Vie en Rose, and Tilda got her gong for her lawyer role in George Clooney's film Michael Clayton.
Both deserving winners - I'm just not quite so sure how either fare in the Oscars red carpet style awards.
Tilda's certainly toned it down since her BAFTAs appearance - but this black velvet number still ain't getting my fashion juices flowing.
And for once, I have to say I'd like to see more make-up on that strangely beautiful face - maybe she should take a tip from Cate Blanchett? She certainly knows how to make ever-so-slightly-odd look stunning.
Marion, on the other hand, has definitely raised her game since the BAFTAs. That night, her angel-like frock looked a bit more freak than fabulous. But what a difference an award makes!
Here she is in Hollywood, looking every inch the glamourous star. I love the scalloped detailing on this white number. And the simple jewellery and clutch? Perfect.
Which winning lady do you reckon looked best on the red carpet? Vote below.

It has to be doesn't it? Go on, count them. There are squillions of the blighters in this little number.
The dangly fronds remind me of stalactites. Or is it 'mites'? Icicle thingies. Either way, I'd be tempted to have a slightly more burly looking hubbie than Keith Urban, sporting this trillion-dollar creation. Ray Winstone, maybe?
It certainly brightens up the oops-it's-dreary L'Wren Scott gown Nicole's wearing, doesn't it? That satin frock is good for the pregnancy cleavage and hangs nicely over the bump, but, well, I remember many of Nicole's previous Oscar outfits in which she looked so...erm...radiant.
Shucks, if I had a fiver for every time I read the words 'radiant' and 'nicole kidman' in the same sentence recently I'd have enough to buy that necklace for myself!
By the way, Jennifer Garner chose a similar theme of black gown and gobsmacking diamonds as well. I love her necklace. To see it and more Oscars bling, click here.

We know what you’re thinking: ‘Who’s the chick in the animal print?’ It’s none other than Diablo Cody, the writer of my favourite film of the year so far - Juno.
The screenwriter, who won the Original Screenplay award at the 80th Oscars awards, chose a floor-length animal number for her red carpet entrance.
With a short bob, sharp fringe and that dress, Diablo is halfway to looking every bit the Egyptian-come-Roman goddess. Spoilt only by the arm tattoo – oh dear, why would you do that?
We’re loving Cameron Diaz’s style, it’s so simple yet so chic and not in any way try hard.
It was floor-length for Cameron too but, unlike Diablo, you’ll never get to see Ms Diaz’s feet – perfect if you haven’t had a pedicure.
Not that we’re suggesting she hasn’t, of course...

Sienna Miller always smiles for red (or even blue) carpet pics. I like that.
And here she is looking gorgeous - and smiley - at the same awards ceremony as Angelina and Brad.
It's back to business as usual after her bland BAFTA outing with sexy hair, great layered black dress, byoodiful powder-blue clutch and covetable Louboutins.
Which, now I come to think of it, look very similar to Angelina's. Could they be wearing the same shoes to the same event?
Two thoughts struck me when I saw this picture of Brangelina at the Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica:
1) How amazing does Angelina look now she's given up all the am-I-aren't-I silliness? Showing off her bump in a stunningly elegant black gown with skyscraper heels is so much more fabulous than hiding the obvious in those tents she was wearing.
2) Brad Pitt is morphing into Robert Redford circa 1975.
My thoughts then moved on to whether I should have fried eggs for breakfast. Which I did. In a baguette.
Juno star Ellen Page, although unknown a year ago, was up for the Best Actress gong at last night's Academy Awards and is fast proving herself to be a worthy addition to the fashion... thingie. (couldn't bring myself to say 'pantheon')
Take this ensemble at the Independent's Spirit Awards, for example. Slightly too long trousers + oversize monochrome shirt + pinstripe blazer + simple black flats = an outfit of great quirk and style.
And if you don't have quirk, you can't be a style icon. That is the actual law.
Fake fur bolero, purple silk poloneck dress, bare legs and heels. Another day, another krazy outfit for Britney.
Here she is leaving a steakhouse (where I can exclusively reveal she probably ate steak), having decided that channelling Elizabeth Taylor was the very thing, style-wise, for a meat-based outing.
I feel desperately sorry for Brit with all her issues (she saw her kids for two hours on Saturday, having not seen them for nearly two months. Just so sad), but I have to admit that when she comes through all this, the boringly stylish outfits she'll probably wear won't be half so interesting to write about.
Let's hope she gets rid of her demons but keeps the threads.
Wearing a skintight Lycra minidress when you have a figure like Kimberly Stewart's is: A) Just another example of Kim's obsession with the Eighties, or B) A sign of insecurity.
I would go for C) A bit of both. Imagine the thought process: 'Now, what have I got going for me? ... Hmm... Well I am really thin... And I am becoming known for wearing Eighties style clothes... The body-bandage dress it is, then.'
C'mon Kim, what about humour, kindness, the ability to burp Maggie May'? All excellent qualities that I'm sure you possess. (With the possible exception of the burping. Although that would be cool.)
What, you think I'm reading too much into what is a slightly unflattering but basically OK outfit? Albeit one that, if she took her jacket off, would give us a fair idea what she looks like naked?
Yeah, you're probably right. Kimberly, you wear what you like and go get 'em sister!
Remember how happy Kate Moss looked the other day? Well, it turns out that it could be for reasons other than she'd been shopping at Prada.
According to the Daily (Hate) Mail, everyone's favourite British supermodel is on a health kick because she and boyfriend Jamie Hince are trying for a baby.
"The 34-year-old is embarking on a healthy-eating regime apparently in the hope that it will boost her fertility," reports the paper - adding that "Kate is taking her diet and health seriously," according to an insider. 'She has been taking extra iron supplements and stocking up on spinach and greens.'" And what's more, "the party-loving supermodel is also said to be planning to give up alcohol and coffee."
Whaaaat?!?
Some people will go to truly drastic lengths to do things, won't they?
Yes, watch out, folks: LiLo is on European soil. Lock up your sons! And your daughters too, probably. One never knows with LiLo.
Lindsay has travelled to Italy with her friend Samantha Ronson (that's not her with the nasty shoe-boots, though) and here she was last night, visiting the Milan home of Domenico Dolce. Who's one half of the guys who make that ice-cream, or something.
The last time Lindsay Lohan was in bella Italia, you may remember, she was lambasted by the Daily Mail for being seen with "a string of men in 24 hours".
Will this trip be any different? I very much doubt it. And for that, I say: hurrah! Or whatever the Italian equivalent is.
Now, don't get me wrong. Vanessa Minnillo barely registers on my celebrity, let alone fashion, radar.
Apparently she used to host Total Request Live, was once Miss Teen USA, and now dates Jessica Simpson's ex, Nick Lachey.
And now that we've got her bio out of the way, let's get on to what she's wearing here, shall we?
Because it caught my eye, and could well earn her the title of Best-Dressed Celebrity Of The Week. Certainly Best-Dressed Slightly Obscure Celebrity Of The Week. And that's no mean feat.
The occasion was some sort of Reebok do - yes, even the event was Slightly Obscure - but Vanessa stood out a mile in this fabulous combination of knee-length dress, heels, clutch bag and cute hair thingummy (and that's a technical term).
The result: black, white and red all over. Not unlike a sunburned zebra, or a newspaper. Depending on which old gag you know.
Yes, here was Minnie Driver out wandering the streets of New York this weekend - and, fact fans, she even popped to the Magnolia Bakery, made famous in Sex And The City.
And for her West Village stroll, Minnie was wrapped up, as you can see, in the world's largest coat, the world's largest scarf and a beanie. Not the world's largest beanie, though. Because that, as we all know, is owned by Keira Knightley.
LA Confidential magazine held a pre-Oscars luncheon honouring Kate Beckinsale yesterday.
Now, don't get me wrong: Kate Beckinsale is, I'm sure, a perfectly lovely woman, and a pretty decent (or is that "pretty, decent"?) actress. And she's also a Brit Done Good, of course. But a whole luncheon in her honour?
Sometimes I don't really get Americans.
But, back to that luncheon: because here's what Kate was wearing to it. A Twiggy-inspired black and white retro look, accessorised with a ridiculously handsome husband (technical name: Len Wiseman).
Len let the side down slightly wearing a too-smart shirt, jacket and shoes with his jeans - but then, he is American. And as we all know, I don't really get Americans.
Still: bravo, Kate. Now all you have to do is, erm, win an Oscar. Onwards and upwards!
According to that esteemed organ the Daily Star, esteemed actress Paris Hilton has been barred from attending this year's Oscars.
The poor love had even blagged herself an expensive dress and diamonds from designer Kira Plastinina for the occasion. But after The Hottie And The Nottie was voted the worst film in history on IMdB.com (haven't they seen Grease 2?), the members of the Academy apparently thought that their Big Night Of The Year could possibly do without Paris's presence.
So here she was, leaving Tinseltown yesterday - and proving that the Oscar bosses quite possibly got it right. Don't worry, Paris: you keep going. Like a rolling stone.
And this is my verdict on Dita Von Teese's latest red carpet outfit, for two reasons.
One, she looks like a ballerina.
Two, the dress isn't retro.
I sometimes get a little bored with Dita Von Whatsit's style because it's as if she's constantly at a fancy dress party, to which she's come dressed as Someone From The 1940s.
But while she's of course kept her hair and make-up in that style, this one-shouldered, sheer dress is a little, well, not 1940s. To which I say: hurrah for a breath of fresh fashion air.
Now, if only she could pull off a dress like Sharon Stone's.
Yes, you can take the girl out of Essex... but she'll make it back there one day for a book-signing.
Here was Katie at the launch of her latest book Jordan: Pushed To The Limit. Well, it's been at least a month since her last one, hasn't it?
And for the occasion, as you can see, she modelled her new black hair, her (probably new) nose, her new deep tan, and some sort of very, very strange cream sock things, a fairly strange cream skirt, a not-so strange black top and some very un-strange black peep-toe shoes.
Still, the poor woman was just arriving at Los Angeles International Airport - or LAX, to give it its technical name - so she'd probably just stepped off a multiple-hour flight from Spain. So I'll give her a break.
Flashing her midriff, Penelope Cruz didn't so much 'swan into' as 'arrived looking very casual at' LAX in jeans, trainers and, yes, a black and white dogtooth check jacket. Could this be a piece from her MANGO collection? I'm afraid I don't know. But I do know that she probably needs a good lie-down, bless her.
Doing it for the sisterhood, Paris and sister Nicky Hilton painted the town ‘black’ at LA’s Chateau Marmont.
I’m loving Nicky’s wet-look leggings – they’re the type of item you look at in a shop and think “no way”, but when you see them on Nicky you get what the style’s about. Although they look rather familiar - anyone remember this outfit from New York Fashion Week?
Paris, on the other hand, isn’t breaking any boundaries - nor any style rules. YSL Tribute heels are always a winner but let’s face it, everyone’s got them (or a high street copy at least).
You can’t help but notice Nicky’s ecstatic grin, showing off her perfect Hollywood whites, in contrast to Paris’s not so happy pout. She can’t be tiring of paparazzi attention can she?
Yep, Jennifer Lopez has given birth to a boy and a girl in Long Island, New York. The girl was born at 12:12am and weighed 5lbs 7oz, with the boy following at 12.23am, weighing 6lbs.
Lopez’s manager Simon Fields told People magazine:
"Jennifer and Marc are delighted, thrilled and over the moon."
Congrats, J Lo! Now at last you'll be able to get out of those awful tents you've been wearing lately (with good reason - did you see the size of that bump?). Rodeo Drive, here we come, eh?
Aah, Hayden Panettiere. She's a little bundle of cuteness, isn't she?
Here she is, celebrating the launch of her new promo shoot for fashion label Candies at the Hyde Lounge in West Hollywood yesterday, looking fresh and lovely in a simple LBD with black embroidery on the front. But even those gorgeous wedge heels don't disguise the fact that she really is rather teeny.
Being a bundle of cuteness obviously means you have a special soft spot for other bundles of cuteness. Take her rumoured (in other words, it's happening, they just haven't confirmed it yet) relationship with Heroes co-star Milo Ventimiglia. That's cute with big old helping of phwoar lumped in.
And check out this video from her Candies shoot - getting to pose with three white fluffy puppies is clearly one sure way to get a squeal out of the Panettiere.
Unfortunately, as I'm 5' 8'', I'll never get to be cute like Hayden. And I've ruined my chances with Milo. Maybe I should try Tom Cruise...?
I’m glad the Sugababes managed to redeem their boring dresses with slightly more enticing accessories, or I really would have struggled to say anything nice about their outfits!
Keisha Buchanan, Amelle Berrabah and Heidi Range were spotted heading out of the Dorchester Hotel in London last night.
Keisha went for a black-on-black look, wearing a little black dress, opaque tights and black patent shoes finishing her look with a huge chunky cocktail ring in the shape of a rose.
Amelle also chose a black dress and opaque tights, but brightened up her look with a stunning pair of midnight blue peep-toes.
Finally Heidi went even brighter (but still equally as boring) with a plain coral dress over black opaque tights, finishing it off with a rather interesting lace detailed gold and black handbag.
I'm not so sure about this one Heidi. Maybe you should leave that bag at home next time. Or return it to Primark?
I understand people who dress to try and fit into certain social situations. But dyeing your hair is taking it to the extreme!
Katie Holmes made an appearance at the First Annual Essence Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon yesterday, and the first thing I noticed was her new black hair. How, erm, apt.
Teaming her new 'do with her favourite accessory, hubby Tom, she looked stunning in this gorgeous Alexandra McQueen shift dress and purple sling back Louboutins. Proving purple, although huge last season, is here to stay for a while yet.
If you, like Katie, couldn’t get enough of the purple trend last season, then click here to see some gorgeous new season purple must haves.
An LBD of great simplicity and sexiness (trust me, I've seen all the pics) worn under a timeless trench with delicate strappy platform sandals and a truly fabulous oversize tote.
In fact you could say (wait for it)... that she looks really really (drumroll)... 'glamorous'!*
*OK, so I know Leon made that very same joke only weeks ago - but a good pun never gets old, right? Right?
I'm a huge fan of hats. I think they can lift any outfit out of the everyday (we at OSO Towers aim never to look less than everyweek) - and they hide your hair when you'd rather have 15 minutes more in bed than drag your sorry ass into the shower to wash it.
But, while I can't comment on the state of Beyonce's hair, I think this is one of those rare hats that actually spoils an outfit. Partly because it looks like it's made out of an old dishcloth, partly because it makes her look a bit like that Victoria Wood character who's looking for Kimberly ('avya seen 'er?').
But maybe it's just an unflattering pic.
Because the rest of her outfit's great. Especially the Christian Louboutin studded boots (also worn here by Rachel Bilson - although, presumably not the same pair).
And, as always, she looks ludicrously beautiful. Even with a dishcloth on her head.
As you will already know, hoods are trés on-trend. Which is a bit like saying coats are the only thing to be seen in when it's cold. It confuses fashion with necessity if you ask me, but there we go.
So here is Li-Lo at LAX wearing the aforementioned trendsome hood. Possibly more to look like a celebrity trying to look incognito than anything else, but as she's also wearing the big shades (which do the same job), we'll give her the benefit of the doubt.
Other than that, she's chosen for her flight outfit her favourite leggings, a stripy top and some great boots.
The not-one-but-two designer bags are a bit OTT, but with the hood and shades, and the fact that she's just posed totally starkers for a magazine, we can be assured that the woman obviously doesn't have a problem with attracting attention.
How's that for telling you something you already knew?
Coleen visits the hairdressers a lot. She was only there last week. And here she is again, leaving her Liverpool salon.
But I suppose if I had the cash I'd get a professional blow-dry every week. If only for the head massage. Purrrr.
Style-wise Coleen's gone for an on-trend lumberjack shirt, which in my book is very much more than OK (sorry), plus the old favourite skinnies-and-tall-boots.
Slightly surprised she's leaving the salon here though - does she really need help putting her hair in a ponytail?
Fancy a change of style yourself? L’Oréal have just launched a new hair colour tool, that allows you to select the right shade of hair dye for you. Click here to give it a whirl – then check out their ‘Win Prizes’ section, where you could win a stay in the luxurious Four Seasons George V hotel in Paris! 1,000 runners up win the L’Oréal hair colour of their choice.
Well here's Reese looking most presentable in her bright shoes and (slightly clashing but all the better for that) top.
But doesn't she look just a bit... dull?
I really like old Withers (as I expect no one at all calls her). I think she's got integrity and dignity and, who knows, maybe several other words ending in -ity.
And I do love her purple shoes.
But the whole ensemble looks just a bit safe. There's no excitement, glamour or edge. Which leaves us with meh.
Apart from the shoes. Which, as we've established, are great.
Last night’s Brit Awards saw amazing performances from three of the nation’s favourite pop stars.
Leona Lewis performed her rather popular song, Bleeding Love. Accompanied by loads of backing dancers, she took centre stage in a gorgeous glittery purple full-length dress with a sexy slit to show off a bit of leg.
Rihanna however, was pretty reserved in her performance with the Klaxons, shunning her usual leather bondage gear for an on-trend tribal maxi dress. She looked stunning up on stage as she sang Umbrella, with the entire crowd (and erm, me at home) singing along.
And finally, Amy Winehouse performed her cover of Valerie with Mark Ronson, all the while looking like Bambi on ice as she teetered around on stage in high heels looking as if she would be much more comfortable in her favourite ballet pumps.
She should have taken some pre-show advice from newcomer Adele, who swore earlier in the week to wear Converse trainers to the event, because she was worried about tripping up.
Did she keep her word? Click here to see what she, and the rest of the stars were wearing on the night - including Kylie, Alexa Chung, Kelly Rowland, Kate Mash and Beth Ditto.
From the moment they stepped on stage, I just knew the awards ceremony would end in debauchery. And I was exactly right.
Sharon and Ozzy presented the Brit Awards held at Earls Court last night with the help of their kids Kelly and Jack. The stage was decked out in what I can only describe as a mix of the Addams Family and the Beckhams’ wedding thrones.
The whole occasion was much less formal than the recent Grammy Awards with most of the female stars in mini dresses and peep toes.
Except for the Osbournes of course, who dressed up good and proper! Kelly and Sharon wore full-length gowns (loving those bright colours, Kel) and Ozzy left his heavy metal look at home in favour of a formal suit. Jack dressed his own suit down with a loose tie, trainers and (I'd estimate) one month of stubble!
It’s Geri Haliwell missing from the National Lottery show all over again.
Girls Aloud star Nadine Coyle, whose high profile in the group is attributed to her on/off relationship with the gardener from Desperate Housewives (boring), was a surprise no-show at this year’s Brit Awards. She blamed her absence on a lost passport, which left her stuck in La La Land.
Now, losing a passport can happen to anyone. Even people who have been in a band for six years but have only now been nominated to win an award at one of the most important events in the British music calendar.
According to The Sun, sources close to the band have suggested this is Nadine’s way of saying she wants “nothing to do with the band”.
Does this mean she wants nothing to do with their new look too? I have to say the other four Girls Aloud beauties have become regulars on OSO Blog because their style factor has exploded.
For a more detailed look at Cheryl's outfit - and to find out how to get her on-trend pink lippy look - click here.
It gives me extraordinary pleasure to be writing this post and gazing at this splendid bevvy of beautiful men!
Gary, Mark, Jason and Howard are pictured here arriving at last night's BRIT Awards 2008, at London's Earls Court. I know it's been said before, but blimey, they've aged well haven't they?
Ok, Jason looks a little plasticy (the sharp-suited look works for me though) and Mark's bouffant and fey styling is hinting at Danny La Rue. But, overall I wouldn't kick them out of bed for eating chips with curry sauce (hey, we're all Northerners).
Fascinating, isn't it, how people age and who ages well? The first time I drooled over the lads, at least 10 years ago, Mark and Jason were the lookers, weren't they? I have to admit that it's Gary, Mr Marks & Spencer (and doesn't he just look it in this Everyman outfit?), that floats my boat now. Time's been kinder, methinks.
The boys went on to scoop two Brits; Best Live Act and Best Single for Shine, and if this picture's anything to go by, they've scooped up my heart all over again!

Snapped on the Brits red carpet last night, it looks like Cheryl's even more determined to show Ashley just what he's missing.
Only yesterday, we commented on how hot Cheryl's looking lately (and the rest of the GA team - check out their outfits here). But this has to be my favourite look of the night - and I don't even like yellow!
This one-shoulder, belted mini-dress shows off Cheryl's teeny figure perfectly, the patent leopard print clutch is just gorgeous, and I love, love, love the fluorescent pink lipstick. It shouldn't work - but it does. Find out how to recreate the look here - and enter our comp to win a new pink or purple MOTO U9 phone at the same time!
Let's hope Ashley's managed to crawl out from under the takeway pizza boxes, beer cans and general helpless man mess to appreciate your efforts. Because we sure do.
Squeal! How cute does Lily look in that floral stripy dress?
And in fact how utterly gorgeous is that floral stripy dress?
Sigh. So lovely.
It must be hard being papped every. single. day, but Lily's managing to pull off a different outfit each time. Good skills, lady.
She's also doing a good job of mixing achingly on-trend pieces (as we fash people like to call clothes), like a floral tea dress and sheer tights, with something she just bally well likes wearing, like UGGS.
And the BMW key tag hanging insouciently off her finger is a nice touch too.
Here's Nicole promoting The Golden Compass in Tokyo wearing what can only be described as a horrible dress. But weirdly, looking rather gorgeous in it. Go figure.
Nicole's a strange one, style wise. She's so thin, tall and pale, and her face can look so nondescript one day and so beautiful the next, that you can never tell how she's going to look in an outfit just by the look of the outfit. If you know what I mean.
But here she's looking graceful, beautiful and as happy as she's looked in every picture I've seen since she announced her pregnancy.
Which, by the way, is barely evident here. Just another example of Nicole's strange other-wordliness. Wooooo!
Not wanting to sound like someone's mum, but Kate Moss looks lovely when she smiles.
We're so used to seeing her all glum - pouty-pouty for a photoshoot or doing her best to ignore the 'razzi - that you forget she's just naturally really beautiful. You only see that when she's smiling.
And wouldn't we all be having a bit of a beam if we'd just 'popped' into the Prada Store 'for a few bits' (so says the picture caption). My popping-in-for-a-few-bits shops are Tesco and Topshop. How very fabulous for it to be Prada.
Here's Pink, looking rather splendidly incognito and dignified in her black beanie and black shades, less than 24 hours after the announcement that she's to divorce motocross champ Carey Hart, her husband of two years.
Pink has always seemed to be kind of hard and, y'know, terrifying (I mean, she has a dog called '****er'. Calling his name down the park must cause a bit of a stir).
But here she is, looking good in her leather jacket, skinnies and biker boots. And check this for a civilised statement to the world's media:
'Pink and Carey Hart have separated. This decision was made by best friends with a huge amount of love and respect for one another. While the marriage is over, their friendship has never been stronger.'
Amy Winehouse was snapped on her way to her gig at the Jazz After Dark club last night - and it looks like she's abandoned her new 'sexy secretary' look already.
Having slipped on her ol' Faithfuls (aforementioned pink satin ballet pumps) Amy's style seems to be channelling her inner lumberjack instead, with this check shirt and braces combo.
It's a look only Ms Winehouse can pull off really, isn't it? And with those buttons, it should slip quite easily over the beehive.
It's official: not all publicity is bad publicity.
Britney Spears’s public meltdown has affected her perfume sales (and therefore her bank balance) for the better.
The Toxic star beat the Beckhams, Kylie and even Jennifer Lopez in sales with her fragrances Curios, Fantasy, Curios In Control, Midnight Fantasy, Believe and Curios Heart – that’s six in total, in case you weren’t counting. One more than the amount of studio albums she's released. I wonder if this means we will have to start calling her a perfumier?
But Britters better not get too comfortable in the top spot. Kerry Katona’s gearing up for the release of her own fragrance and she’s already described herself as the British Britney.
I just don’t know what A listers Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman were thinking here.
I can only assume they decided that they didn’t want to out-dress The Duchess of Cornwall (also present on the red carpet) so decided to out-frump her instead!
But, seriously, I’m starting to wonder if frumpy dresses are the new trend for the red carpet - I wait with baited breath to see what the stars choose to wear for the Brit Awards tonight...
Snapped here at The Other Boleyn Girl premiere last night, Natalie Portman chose a red off-the-shoulders-with-too-much-material dress, while Scarlett Johansson chose a hideous, grossly un-flattering one shoulder silver number.
Girls please! Did you leave your stylists at home this trip?
Amid a sea of photographers, out step half of the Girls Aloud crew. And it looks like they needed one another’s support while walking through LAX airport holding hands and hiding behind three pairs of huge sunglasses.
Cheryl Cole's really been showing her cheating husband what he’s missing this week, on holiday in Thailand with a few days stop-over in LA. I love what she’s wearing in this pic. There’s not many girls who can pull of the trucker cap look, but Cheryl handles it with style, wearing a matching cardigan and wide leg flared jeans.
Nicola and Kimberly didn’t let the side down either, with Kim in a gorgeous black shirt dress that she wore earlier that day to do some last minute shopping. While Nicola chose an electric blue coat over flared jeans and a striped top.
Saying it with style, ladies!

Shopping ed Melissa's top buy today is this gorgeous dress from Cath Kidston.
She says:
'If floral is the pattern to be seen out in this spring, then Cath Kidston must be the shop of the season. I love this cute dress, which comes in a jersey fabric, warmer than cotton so great for the transition from winter to spring.
Here's Isla Fisher on the set of the movie Confessions of a Shopaholic.
Ah, just told you that in the title, didn't I? Anyway, the movie's due out in October, so this shot is kinda handy if you believe in that 'we'll all be wearing what we see on screen' thingy.
It does work, you know. Spotted all the satins, delicate florals and luscious colours recently? Atonement anyone? (Insert cheap plug for my 'I want an Atonement wardrobe' group on OSOYOU.com.)
So, come Autumn we'll still be sporting high-waisted items, statement belts, adorned necklines, pussy bows even, and...yikes...pink and purple still.
Great. Not. (Of course, you have to imagine me saying that last bit Borat-stylee, in homage to Ms Fisher's hubbie.)
Pink shoes, purple gloves and bag. Really? C'mon! We all know the pink shoes will end up on Sale shelves the world over.
And as for the coat? Isla: your granny wants her blanket back.
Blimey, 2007/8 is going to be a banner year for celebrity pregnancies and births. We've had Christina Aguilera, Nicole Ritchie, Jennifer Lopez, Isla Fisher, Myleene Klass and, er, Jamie-Lynn Spears among others. And now Avril Lavigne is apparently pregnito and all.
Gosh, is there something in the water?
Here's Avril, 'shopping for baby clothes' according to the picture caption, with husband Deryck Whibley. (He might be in Sum 41 and have OSO punk spikey hair, but no amount of rawk spelling can change the fact that his name is - snigger! - Derek.)
Avril's still looking as wee as ever, although pretty good in her black pumps, black jeans, grey cardi and gold pendant.
But of course the big question on everyone's lips is: will she be allowed to bleach her hair and add those pink streaks when she's pregnant? Mark my words, it'll be mousey brown before we know it.
That Kimberley Walsh, she's a dark horse. Not content with being the stealth Boyfriend's Favourite in Girls Aloud (go on, do a straw poll of the straight men around you. Bet more fancy Kimberley than fancy Cheryl), she's also fast moving ahead in the style stakes.
Here she is, shopping in Hollywood, wearing a coat that can only be described as fabulous. Simple, elegant, on trend, really suits her...
And the pale sandals make it look as if all she's wearing with it are her favourite hoop earrings and a smile.
OK she wasn't the most famous at The Other Boleyn Girl's London premiere, but she was one of the more stylish.
And admit it, you're fascinated by Natalie Cassidy's weight loss.
I know it's not just me who can hardly believe this shapely sylph was Sonia in EastEnders. You know, the one whose figure meant that a storyline in which she didn't know she was pregnant until she went into labour didn't seem that far-fetched?
She looks great, doesn't she? Not sure about the shoes, but I love the monochrome (tick), one-shouldered (tick) dress and heavy fringe (tick).
And check out the muscle definition in those arms! The woman's obviously worked really hard.
The black palazzo-slash-harem pants make the most of Lily's small waist and hide her legs. Which are of course fine as legs go (they walk with aplomb, for example), but are not her best feature, aesthetically speaking. And we do like speaking aesthetically here at OSO Towers.
But wait! *Frantically rubs eyes while emitting squeaky 'diddle iddle ee' cartoon noise* Surely this can't be a... a jumpsuit? The buttons on the blouse match the buttons on the trews too perfectly to be separates.
Well tsk, that's all I can say. There you are, happily assuming that jumpsuits are strictly for those with a figure like a flat-chested Barbie, when Lily brazenly wears one and looks perfectly lovely.
Gosh. High-waisted and a jumpsuit. Full marks, Ms Allen.
Or a new pair of shoes. Or just about any item of clothing that you already possess one of in a perfectly reasonable condition.
2. He'll find out how much his birthday present really cost
Or to be more precise: how little his birthday present really cost. In the January sales. Ten months ago.
3. You've used it to pay for divorce lawyer fees
Or chatline phone calls. Or a really expensive spa treatment. They're all equally hard to explain away.
4. You bought something from QVC
While you were at home alone, drinking a bottle of wine. And you don't even remember making the call.
5. You spent more than £5 on a haircut
Your partner simply will not understand why the short-back-and-sides trim he has at the barber down the road has no female equivalent.
6. You spent £300 on something...
and it wasn't a Wii or an Xbox. In fact: it wasn't anything electrical, digital or mechanical, anything which plays games or music, takes photographs, contains a calendar or browses the Web. That just about covers it.
7. You splashed out on a surprise weekend away...
for yourself. Sorry: for you both. Sorry: for him.
8. You went out for lunch with The Girls
And three hours, three courses and three bottles of rosé later, said: 'Shtickinonmycard'.
9. He thinks you don't have a credit card
I know, incredible. But it might just work.
10. You're a financially independent woman of the Noughties
If this was Prince Harry, I have to confess I'd be making a teeny 'phwoar' sound right now.
Unfortunately, it's Will. Who has the power to make a skin-tight lycra number look old-fashioned and rather dull.
William's been learning to surf in Cornwall, as one does when one is a bit bored and kicking one's heels. He's down there with best mate Guy Pelly - you know, the bad 'un.
I can only imagine what japes they'll get up to in the pub afterwards. Let's just hope Will remembers to take that wetsuit off first - no one wants to see the little Prince in public.
Wowee, that is one enormous bag. And, being oversized, brightly coloured and patent, it is bang on trend too. Hurrah!
But still. Poor Lily. First a miscarriage, then a break-up, and now she's been dropped as the new face of Agent Provocateur.
Why? The company's owners are married couple Joe Corré and Serena Rees. They're going through a divorce. Serena wants Lily. Joe (who is creative director) doesn't. So Lily goes.
I really like Lily. I like her style. And, for what it's worth, I think Lily would have been great for Agent Provocateur. The perfect mix of attitude, confidence and real-person sexuality.
Long may she continue, with or without swanky pants sponsorship.
Well Cruz's Harry Potter hat and scarf are obviously very cute and just right for a New York winter.
But this begs the question: isn't Victoria freezing her teeny tiny ass off? Where are her cosy hat and scarf?
And a coat would probably be a good idea, if only to cover up her ageing-dowager outfit (complete with old-person stoop, probably caused by attempting to retain as much body heat as possible).
I'd love to see Posh in jeans and biker boots. She'd look relaxed and sexy, instead of uptight and over-styled. And she might even be warm and comfortable. Fashion bonus!
I expect the store had to close early after Paris’ visit - she left with most of their stock!
After her weekend birthday celebrations in Las Vegas, Paris obviously felt she was in need of a bit of retail therapy. But what with her new charitable pledge, she avoided shopping for herself and decided to treat best friend Nicole Richie’s new baby daughter, Harlow.
She bought lots of tiny, pretty pink dresses and cute little accessories for the baby girl.
But enough about babies, look at those shoes!
Aren’t they amazing?
Paris teamed the black and white beauties with a pair of black skinny jeans, a white top and a bright yellow cardigan, completing the outfit with the quintessential accessory for every celebrity – a huge pair of sunglasses.
'Cause you can't be original all the time, eh Paris?
If you love Pasis' look as much as I do, then click here to head over to OSOYOU.com to find out how to copy it for just £150!
Lindsay Lohan. Pale pink top. Black nails. Tan and white lips. Blah blah.
Seen it all before.
But what we haven't seen before are the pics from LiLo's photo shoot for New York magazine. In which she has no clothes on. At all. Unless you count a few bits of transparent muslin and a blonde curly wig (on her head, in case you were wondering).
The pics are a recreation of Marilyn Monroe's famous 'Last Sitting' photographs. And they are very tastefully done.
If gratuitously posing naked for a magazine shoot can ever be tasteful.
But this is Jordan, so demure comes at a (Katie) price. Her boobs are what first made her famous. Stands to reason they should have a starring role.
But what to do when you've plumped for a grey ribbed-knit jumper (with, by the way, rather lovely gathered cuffs)? Wear a white bra underneath! So simple, it's genius.
Katie's also gone for an understated (I know!) up-do, wide belt, leggings and ankle boots.
And very pretty she looks too.
*'The wimple is a garment of mediaeval Europe worn by women. It is a cloth which usually covers the head and is worn around the neck and chin.' Like, d'uh!
Just when you thought the coloured jeans trend was out, a celeb dons them and suddenly it's acceptable to come over all Eighties again.
Fergalicious Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie was snapped leaving a tanning salon yesterday rocking a muted purple pair, a step away from the harsh neon colours that Ashlee Simpson and Victoria Beckham made so cool last year..
So, be off with you to nab yourself a pair of coloured kecks! One small tip though: if you’re going to do the coloured jeans look, please make sure it’s with heels. Trainers will make you look like you want to be Avril Lavigne. And let's face it, that's just a small step away from bright pink hair extensions. Always a mistake.
But hey, if in doubt, just copy Fergie. She is, after all, sooo Glamorous.
A slouching Katherine Heigl was snapped yesterday in Paris at a photo call to promote her new movie 27 Dresses, wearing, erm, a dress.
Choosing a rather grown up style with a long string of pearls and some practical not-too-high black courts to match her smart LBD, Katherine looked...just that teeny bit dull. Reminds me of Anne Hathaway before she discovered fashion.
If you want to see a list of rather more exciting dresses on OSOYOU.com’s, click here to take a look.
Natalie Portman is surely the ultimate MITTAS, no? More Interesting Than The Average Star? C'mon, indulge me.
Everything about Natalie is just, well, more interesting. Her roles are more intelligent. Léon, anyone? Amazing, and she was, like, two-years-old or something.
She's a Harvard psychology graduate. She cares about the planet and stuff (Did you know she was a member of the environmental awareness dance troupe The World Patrol Kids? You did? Wow. Swot.)
Line her up with Chloe S, Maggie G, Miranda J, Dita VT...I love these women! Never dull.
No surprise then that this outfit is more interesting too. Pictured here in Madrid last night, at the premiere of her new movie, The Other Boleyn Girl, Portman sported an edgey tunic-style number, simple black bangle and a suitably underwhelmed expression. I'm thinking The Face circa 1988 - kind of an Eighties punk combo. Or is that just me?
I'm begging for it to be from some backstreet Manhattan boutique rather than some big name designer.
Bad shoes though. Made me think Britney Spears - never a good thing. Sorry Natalie. And puhlease don't go blonde, like they all do. You're a MITTAS, remember?
Here's Kate, home after a holiday, doing the international Rooting-Around-For-Keys grimace.
(NB. As of the moment this pic was taken, this is now the only grimace to be seen sporting. Forget Reaching-Under-Desk-For-Dropped-Pen or Doing-Zip-Up-Back-Of-Dress. The 'Keys' is where it's at, grimace-wise.)
She's looking rather lovely in her flares (low rise, no less), blazer and Doctor Who scarf. And I do like that low-key, yet clearly expensive (see the softness of the leather!), shoulder bag.
But...
Jeans, blazer, long scarf and shades. Now where have I seen that before? Oh yes, on almost every famous woman to be papped at the airport / shopping / holding a Starbucks-to-go cup over the last few months.
It is the uniform of down-time. So what the heck is Kate doing wearing it? You can't be a style icon and look like everyone else.
If Amy Winehouse is trying to persuade Corrie bosses to take her on she’s certainly got the look right. Well, the top half anyway.
I suppose our Amy can pass this look off as vintage, but this sure doesn’t look like a woman who won five Grammys just days ago – where’s the glamour?
You have to appreciate Amy’s '**** it, I’ll wear whatever I want' attitude. But can she really pull it off like the best – Kate Moss? You decide in our poll below.
In the meantime, please don’t even bother trying the headscarf, fag out of your mouth look. Bet Lynch left Corrie years ago.
If there ever was a picture that summed up Paris Hilton, don't you think this is it?
It's her birthday, she's an über rich heiress, so naturally she can do anything she wants. I'm thinking holiday in the Bahamas, week-long shopping trip...you get the idea.
Instead, Paris chose to take centre stage at the Pussycat Dolls Lounge at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, stripping down to her bra and pants in front of an eager crowd and writhing around in a champagne glass.
Because that's her idea of a perfect evening.
Still, if you're going to strip to your knick-knacks, you'd probably choose to do it in a pale pink satin, Swarovski crystal-encrusted, personalised set, wouldn't you? Just saying.
Oh, and I wouldn't worry - I'm guessing she did all the other stuff too.
I hope Vanessa was on a short flight - think of the circulation problems she would have had with those jeans!
But even though Vanessa's boyfriend Zac Efron puts comfort before fashion when planning his travelling wardrobe, it seems she prescribes to the age-old Hollywood rule: never let your style guard down. With the exception of Paris Hilton, of course.
The High School Musical star teamed her rather tight jeans with a plain white t-shirt and a metallic cropped jacket completing the look with some pink peep toe pumps.
If you love her look and want to steal it, then click here to find out how.
Apparently this pic was taken as Lily left her ex Ed Simons' house in west London. Oooh, are they back together again then? Etc., etc.
Lily's wearing a very Lily outfit, i.e. a dress with trainers. On anyone else, this would look rubbish, but - like Amy's beehive - Lily gets away with it because she's made the look her own.
I'm thinking of trying it myself with pyjamas and a pair of quite horrid-yet-ludicrously-cosy socks that my boyfriend's mum gave me one Christmas.
But anyway. Lily's teaming her grey sweater dress with an on-trend black blazer and no make-up.
Really it's the perfect Sunday outfit: a bit of fash with a lot of high comfort.
Sadly no discernible glow from a weekend of rekindled love, but that could just be the light.
(Chuh, the old being-papped-while-grabbing-coffees-before-work thing. Happens to me all the time. That and being accosted by a man in a tux who thinks he can get away with kicking my window in just 'cause he's bearing cheap chocolates. He's right, obviously.)
So. Black cowboy boots, red jeans, grey stripy T-shirt, teeny tiny jacket... Sounds more like a lost-property inventory than an outfit, but here, it really works.
That Fearne, she always looks good. And now it turns out she can even look good while wearing Nana Mouskouri glasses.
Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts not only displayed both ends of the caucasian colour spectrum after their girlie break in Thailand, but also wore two very different (but equally cute) sundresses.
Proof that in Girls Aloud you're worth photographing even if you don't have a famous other half / ex other half / numerous ex other halves.
Look at poor old Paul McCartney. He's been 'through the mill' a bit, hasn't he, eh? Ha. Ha.
Sorry.
Snapped here coming out of the High Court, Paul's had a rough week fighting ex-wife Heather Mills in their divorce case.
Still, at least he knows how to look after himself. With shoes verging on the OAP, that scarf doesn't half look cosy and warm. And ever so slightly terrorist chic.
I've always felt sorry for Chelsea Clinton, especially since those cringey photos of her awkward teenage years - all acne, train-track braces and electric shock hair. Boy, did that girl have a struggle! Don't remember her being particularly stylish either, come to think of it. Kind of like an explosion in a garden centre.
I'm all mixed up about Chelsea now. First reaction? "Oo, she's all blonde and it suits!" Sadly, this was quickly followed by "How old is that girl?? 50?"
I dunno, maybe it's an American thing, but what is it with the sack o' spuds knitwear, prim pencil skirt and 'pumps'? (Pumps? I haven't worn 'pumps' since I last did P.E.) It's middle-aged and B.L.A.N.D. Cripes, it's one hell of a 'don't pin any attitude on me' electioneering outfit, that's for sure.
I blame the parents. I'd be the first to encourage Chelsea's Mommy to focus on the issues and not the wardrobe, but Hils deserved the slaying she got in this week's Sunday Times for the frumpy brown 'pants' suit she wore on last week's televised debate with Barack Obama. Her brown suit with turquoise accessories combo "hasn't looked good on any woman since Pocahontas" apparently, and I'm inclined to agree!
I'm not surprised Scarlett looks so darn chuffed in this pic, taken at a photocall for her movie The Other Boleyn Girl at the Berlin Film Festival.
For she is surely wearing the adult version of the pink tulle fairy dress with matching 'glass' slippers of which every four-year-old girl (and Jordan) dreams.
I think she looks lovely. And I want to wear that outfit so much I'm this close to throwing myself down and hammering my little fists on the floor with rage.
Which is why I heaved a sigh from the very depths of my soul when I saw this pic of Diane Kruger at the Berlin Film Festival. (Actually probably not the verydepths, otherwise my soul would be really quite shallow. And I do save a bit of space for stuff that isn't fashion related.)
Anyway. Long and the short of it: silly outfit. Tux-style top half, hula-style bottom half. The two were never going to work together, were they? Even if ra-ra skirts are the very thing for s/s 08.
After a late night at the Hadley Freeman book launch, I managed to get myself into the office to do some much-needed work. While attending the shows and parties is all wonderful, it's often difficult to pin down a time to catch up on work in between. But enough of the whingeing!
The last day of LFW is always a little quieter as most of the press and buyers recover from a jam-packed week, and prepare themselves for Milan. Overnight London welcomed back Vivienne Westwood, who showed her second line 'Red' label, which held the usual Westwood political message (check out Jaime Winstone on the catwalk here). Models carried placards and wore what was described as 'Guantanamo orange' in protest over the rights of Guantanamo prisoners.
On today's agenda it was the boy's turn over at the Topshop-sponsored MAN show, where our savvy freelance blogger Hannah witnessed one short-sighted journalist frantically hailing what she thought was the official LFW bus, but was actually a National Express coach. Whoops!
Later we attended the Central Saint Martins show to see what the MA class of 2008 had been up to. We were, as always, blown away by the talent and excited over what we saw.
The front row was bursting with the school's alumni including Christopher Kane, Marios Schwab, Richard Nicoll and Todd Lynn (poor Louise Goldin was tucked up in bed ill!) My favourite had to be the collection from Simone Shailes, whose chunky knitwear looped in ways that I've never seen before. She collected the L'Oréal trophy for her efforts.
On the whole, there was an incredible amount of black, tan and brown... does this spell the end of bright colours then?
It was a great way to end London Fashion Week. I'm now off to get some sleep, whatever that is...
She's just won five - count 'em! - Grammy awards. So you'd think Amy Winehouse would be out striding the streets of London, clicking her heels Gene Kelly-style and giving a friendly smile and a wink to everyone she met.
But no.
Mind you, her husband is still "incarcerated", as she said on the night she received her Grammys. So maybe that's why yesterday - when she was snapped in this cute little red jacket and cream skirt - she looked so serious.
Or maybe, gossip fans, there's another reason.
*Drumroll*
According to the Daily Mail - which always tells the truth, of course - Amy's affections are being fought over by the two men in her life. Not including her Dad.
Incarcerated Blake - who sent Amy a hamper of goodies for Valentine's Day - apparently has a love rival in the form of Non-Incarcerated Blake, the young American artist who's been hanging out with Amy recently.
Personally, I don't think he's much of a threat, though. Apparently, Amy spent Valentine's Day alone - well, alone with Incarcerated Blake's hamper - and when asked how she felt, said: "Say thanks to Blake and tell him I love him."
Yes, Charlize Theron stunned the crowds, for all the wrong reasons, at the Meteor Ireland Music Awards on Friday night - to which she wore a one-shouldered Bacofoil (c) dress and opaque tights.
And I have a theory as to why this happened.
1. Charlize was the only A-lister at the event (not counting Shayne Ward and Jodi Alpert).
2. Result: no coverage outside of the Irish Times.
3. Result: you can wear whatever silly thing you like, because no one back home is going to ever know.
Except, you know Charlize. And we'll just leave it at that, shall we?
Britney looked not necessarily great, but not as bad as she has done recently, Britney Spears donned skinny jeans, olive green heels, a black top and sunglasses for her shopping trip in Hollywood.
She was also sporting a less than amused expression. Surely the girl isn't fed up of photographers?
And as you can see, she's been taking more than marital advice from Victoria Beckham.
The tiny bronzed frame, the cowboy hat, the grey jeans and T-shirt.... why, it's as if Victoria herself is a member of a five-piece girl band. Oh wait, hang on a minute...
Yes, Cheryl Cole is back from her girly holiday in Thailand - and who can blame her for getting a bit of headspace - and here she is landing at LAX yesterday. Looking fashionable and tanned, and fashionably tanned - but not exactly ecstatic to be back in the real world. Which, erm, isn't too surprising, seeing as there's a husband called Ashley living in said real world who needs a good talking to.
So what happens next? Readers, we can only watch this space...
No, that's not the name of her new movie. Just the caption for this picture.
Yes, after last week's Red Carpet Abberation, you'll be pleased to know that it's back to fashion business as usual for Lindsay Lohan.
That business as usual being: wearing dreary grey leggings and tops and boots and generally looking, well, not quite as fabulous as she surely could.
Mind you, yesterday's hairstyle wasn't quite business as usual for Lindsay - because I'm not sure I've ever seen her sporting a long brunette 'do with a centre-parting like this before.
Is it just me, or does she look a bit like That One From ABBA? No, not the blonde one, the other one. The one with the beard. Yep, that's it.
(Note: do not be fooled by the magic of photography. Lindsay isn't trying to outdo Keira Knightely and carry an even bigger bottle of water than her Evian one).
Here was Myleene Klass in London yesterday, sporting this season's must-have accessory: a baby girl around her neck.
Well, it's so much more practical when you've got an executive wheeley suitcase to lug around, isn't it?
If you can tear yourself away from baby Ava, you may notice that Myleene is also sporting this season's must-have trousers - namely, long wide-legged ones - and also, interestingly a duffel coat.
Now, the Guardian's website has been trying to convince me for many months now that Paddington Bear-style duffel coats are not only cosy, but also the very height of fashion. I have remained unconvinced - until now. Yes, Myleene, in one deft move, you have made them fashionable again. Hurrah!
Yes, they may not quite match Keira Knightley and Rupert Friend in the Effortlessly Stylish stakes - but at least Steve Curran and his WAG Alex looked happy on Valentine's Day.
Maybe it was because they'd been indulging in their favourite sport. No, not football - shopping. Or maybe it was because Alex's shopping bags matched her shoes. (It's these little things that keep WAGs happy, you know).
Whatever it was, they looked happy. And also unbelivably cheesy: him in his 'not so tossed together' look of scarf, leather jacket and pristeen trainers; and her in her Alexander McQueen skull scarf, leather jacket, blinging accessories and red platform heels.
Yes, red platform heels. For a shopping trip. Is this sort of thing normal in Liverpool? Can anyone out there enlighten me?
Yes, even the presence of a lovely bunch of yellow roses clearly wasn't enough to bring a smile to Keira Knightley and Rupert Friend's faces as they took a Valentine's Day stroll through London.
First Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman, now this pair... Did I miss a trick about Valentine's Day this year? Did everyone have a row or something?
Mind you, at least they as great as always, in that 'cold weather surf dude' way of theirs. Matching beanies? Check? Matching trainers? Check. Matching jeans? Check. Matching large bottles of Evian? Erm, not quite check. But then, Rupert did have those roses. Perhaps the Evian was for them? You never know, with these fancy celebs...
I know the whole "Wow, doesn't Ugly Betty scrub up well!" thing is a little old - but well, doesn't Ugly Betty scrub up well?
America Ferrera was a vision of baby blue loveliness at the NAACP Image Awards in LA (where else?) yesterday - and as well as picking up the award for Best Actress In A Comedy, she caused a bit of a stir in this one-shouldered dress and Grecian sandals.
Personally, I'm most taken by the windswept hair. Which looks like it would have been a little windswept even if it weren't for the faint breeze that seemed to hit America on the red carpet at exactly this moment. Adda girl, America. You are, as it says on the hoarding behind you, a Fox.
No amount of wishes from a Genie in a Bottle is going to make up for the sleepness nights to be had when you have a baby.
Christina Aguilera and husband Jordan Bratman were spotted together on Valentine’s night, in waht's probably their first evening out since the birth of little Max - but they didn't look too happy about it!
I'm guessing What A Girl Wants (or Christina at least) is a good night’s sleep.
If only we could be a fly on the wall in the Aguilera household before their big night out. I reckon Christina’s face was a picture when she realised just how little effort her hubby put into dressing up for their special night out – especially as she was looking so chic.
And she's obviously a believer in recycling clothes too - that white cape may be so now, dahling, but it's also so maternity.
Having been picked to model Vivienne Westwood's collection on the catwalk at London Fashion Week yesterday, she clearly decided that all that make-up and styling was just too good to waste.
So the obvious choice was to go out on the town!
Especially as boyfriend Alfie's up in Scotland so she was all on her lonesome on Valentine's Day.
But maybe that was a good thing? I'm thinking the 'horns', clunky earrings and goth eyes form a look girls would admire, but boys would run screaming from. Not unlike what Jaime's friend/ sister-in-law Lily was wearing last night.
OSOYOU.com shopping ed Melissa may be off on her hols, but she's still lined up a whole load of top buys for you lucky lot over the next couple of weeks.
Her Friday pick is this gorgeous Tilda dress from Coast.
Melissa says:
'This sophisticated number from Coast is perfect for Spring weddings, or if you fancy injecting a bit of colour into your wardrobe.
Chuck on a cardi if bare shoulders are still a bit too nippy for this time of the year - and dream of sunny days.
Oh, cheer up girls, surely life can’t be that bad!
Vivienne Westwood must have been pleased to see that Kelly Osbourne and Kimberly Stewart put in an appearance at her Autumn/Winter show for London Fashion Week yesterday.
Both sporting bright evening dresses that they attempted to dress down with black jackets, Kimberly looked fantastic in a midnight blue dress with black accessories. *Ladies, note the over sized clutch and short-sleeved jacket – very on-trend.
Kelly decided to go for a bright red, long evening gown, teaming it with a worn leather jacket. Although she’d clearly taken the time to make sure her lipstick matched her dress perfectly, unfortunately the same couldn’t be said about her black bra which peeped out of the dress' scooped neckline.
I wonder if Kel called her mate before meeting up to check she wasn’t going to wear their favourite floral Luella dress? They obviously both decided to give it a miss this time.
Heaven forbid they be seen in the same outfit twice!
Here's Coleen coming out of the hairdressers after getting a Valentine's Day 'do. And nice and swishy it is too.
She looks Society in this outfit, but for ages I couldn't put my finger on why. I knew it couldn't just be the bag and trench, although Kate Middleton would look right at home toting either.
Then I saw them. As sure a sign of old wealth as pinky rings and stoopid nicknames: it's the gold buttons. Makes me think of ageing perma-tanned magnates with much younger girlfriends called Tiffany or Sasha. And that new boss fella off of The IT Crowd who's also in The Mighty Boosh.
So to sum up and in conclusion. Coleen: lay off the gold buttons next time, yeah?
Yesterday all the shows were running up to an hour late. The cause? The Block Party in East London on Wednesday, which was attended by all the fashion royalty meaning a whole host of hangovers and dark glasses on Thursday morning.
We interviewed the hotly tipped Christoforos Kotentos about his debut collection for London Fashion Week. He was a total sweetie and despite strong medieval and futuristic influences in his collection he assured me he was no sci-fi geek (What? I had to ask!).
Vivienne Westwood returned to London to showcase her Red Label collection (pictured), which was a star-studded affair. The show opened with a model striding down the catwalk bearing a protest placard about Guantanamo Bay and a matching pair of 'Guantanamo orange' knickers.
London Fashion Week favourite Luella showed in the afternoon with a hocus-pocus mix that had more than a whiff of Hogwarts about it. Kelly Osbourne and Kimberly Stewart turned up to see the show - check out their outfits here. Cute minidresses and flannel jodphur-inspired trousers carried on the scholarly theme and orange gingham had me already wishing for Hallowe'en.
It being Valentine's day it was party central, with masked balls and all sorts of other festivities. The main event on the fashion calendar was the celeb-packed Hadley Freeman book launch at Mulberry which was packed to the rafters and had punters queueing for ages.
It was all worth it in the end as special guests Hot Chip played an amazing set to an enthusiastic crowd.
Meanwhile over on OSOYOU.com, they have been working hard scouring the shows for the best shoes. Click here to see more stunners like these ones and to buy the bargaintastic alternitives.
Last night across the nation, as the single girls of Britain were defiantly sending each other buddy 'Valentine's' text messages and inviting other single friends round for 'girly nights in' - Lily Allen went one further.
Lily headed out to cool nightspot Punk, and donned some sort of 'bird of paradise has accident with shredder' hat, which one can only imagine was designed specifically for the task of being a boy repellent.
Such a shame - as I am loving the dress and shoes Lily - but the birdy head gear - ooooo! I no like.
Doesn't Jess look all pretty and sunkissed and relaxed at the airport? And yet she's about to get on a plane. Shouldn't be allowed to look that chilled before you've even been away.
(Although for all I know she could be just popping to the shops. Americans do seem to fly everywhere. Must be something to do with the US being really huge or summink.)
Unfortunately Jess seems to have lost her feet en route. Maybe she'd been wearing trainers without socks and her feet were confiscated as potential offensive weapons. Ha. Ha.
Actually I don't think that too-long jeans look that bad. It's way better than too-short jeans, surely? The ankle flap of a too short trouser being one of fashion's great no-no's.
Right up there with fluffy bunny jumpers and cartoon character socks.
Unless you're wearing them in an ironic way, of course.
Love the brunette pony tail. Love the black nails. Love the simple sparkly bracelets.
But that dress... It's a whole new level of love (Obviously platonic fash love. I'm not an actual fetishist, or my presence here would be cause for very real concern and you would be within your rights to summon a policeman forthwith).
I'm really annoyed that I can't see her shoes, or the length of the dress, but what I can see is tantamount to perfection. Perfection, I tell you!
It's interesting, it's flattering, it accentuates the positive.
And that's pretty much all you can ask of a dress.
Mmm, nice beard. But that chain of hearts with a wooden cross on the end? We like. A lot.
Shame that the crucifix, facial hair and very black shades combine to make JT look just a leetle like a scary cult leader.
Which I'm really hoping he isn't. 'Gonna have you nekkid by the end of this song' (one of my all-time favourite lyrics, since you ask) would present all sorts of problems for the newly evangelist Trousersnake.
But belief in a nigh apocolypse or no, the boy is buff.
Notorious blogger Perez Hilton joined Project Catwalk’s Kelly Osbourne at the launch of the new H&M on Regent Street last night.
Kelly rocked up in what would have been a unique and individual look – if her mate Amy Winehouse hadn't worn something v.similar the day before. Nice try though, Kels.
Perez, ever the controversial statement maker, opted for a ‘Save Britney’ tee, which Little Osbourne found quite funny.
T-shirts with text aside, just what is going on with Perez’s hair? Yuk! Kelly, on the other hand is rocking a shorter 'do and looking v.glam with it, too.
Black may be safe, but accessorised well it’s OSO chic too; we’re loving those heart-shaped glasses!
No, not literally - I'm sure at least one of the Girls Aloud lovelies can order 'du pain, du vin et du Boursin' while on t'other side of the Channel.
It's the name of their new single, numpties! And linguistic skills aside, I'm loving this French Revolution era get-up the girls have got going on in their new vid.
Just check out that skirt cage thingy - not the kind of thing I'd wear down the local shopping centre, but certainly a crowd-stopper.
And call me a switched-on trend spotter (most people do), but I'm sure the glittery face make-up worn by Nadine et al is copied, nay nicked, from Kate Moss' 34th birthday look. Take a look here if you don't believe me.
Even poor Cheryl looks like she's stopped fretting about that scoundrel Ashley and turned the vamp dial up a few notches instead. Which is a darn good move, if you ask me.
And girls, if you are ever struggling with the old Français, I do have an A level and a rather empty social calendar...
You know that situation when you see someone in the street and you love her shoes, so you just have to go over and ask her all about them (yep it’s not just you). Well if the answer’s yes, then TAKE NOTICE!
OSOYOU.com popped down to London Fashion Week to see what the world’s most stylish were wearing on their feet. We spotted some of the most gorgeous, stunning, seductive and well, any other positive word I can think of, shoes we’ve ever seen. We photographed them, then scoured the high street on the hunt for slightly cheaper alternatives to tickle your tootsie taste buds.
Uh-oh, it’s a case of different celebrity, same dress syndrome!
Luella’s spring collection seems to be a hit among young A listers.
Only weeks after Kelly Osbourne was snapped out at the South Bank Show Awards in a gorgeous Luella floral tea dress, Kimberly Stewart has been spotted out in London last night in the same frock!
While Kelly decided to flaunt her new body by undoing a couple of extra buttons and accessorising with red, Kimberly covered up with a tie-front blue cardigan and blue accessories. Just check out those stunning patent platforms.
I don’t know about you, but I’m loving the new floral trend. Click here to see OSOYOU.com’s list of spring florals and find a cheaper alternative to the rather pricey Luella one.
Wednesday morning we managed to catch an extra half an hour sleep in (woot!) as we didn't need to be at the On|Off Presents show until 10am.
Met our camera man Chris down at the Royal Academy of Arts where he was going to film backstage and the catwalk show. The day's show was showcasing the designers exhibiting this season for On|Off, and this was their first LFW catwalk show... I was so excited for them!
We popped backstage for a quick look at the models and their looks for hair and make-up. Think soft floaty hair, slightly curled and pinned to the side. Then it was time for the show to begin.
We were delighted when two ballroom dancing couples took to the catwalk for a dramatic dance-off. What a great way to start a fashion show! Then the collections came out. My favourite was that of Richard Sorger. His glittery creations were a fab way to close the show. We also spotted Jemma Kidd and Jasmine Guinness in the front row.
Then it was back to the BFC tents to catch the Peter Pilotto show. His gypsy traveller clothes packed the Vauxhall Fashion Scout room. Afterwards, we headed to the office to do some actual work.
Not for long though - at 5.30pm I excitedly scurried off to East London to attend the Giles show where, thanks to the folks at The Carphone Warehouse, I managed to slip backstage to check out the models, including Lily Donaldson.
Then Giles himself whizzed passed and smiled at me - I was like a kid in a candy shop. We were shuffled off to a waiting area for a few cocktails. Giles did two shows back to back again this season to accommodate the demand for invites, and when we finally entered the show room (an hour late) I could see why. It was tiny!
Inside I spotted Lily Allen, Kimberley Stewart, Suzy Menkes and more. The show was spectacular to say the least but a bit incoherent in parts. Still it was dazzling just to be there.
Right afterwards, I stopped by the Todd Lynn after-party at Maya on Dean Street to make a quick appearance. The H&M store launch on Regent Street was way too jam-packed for my liking. Nevertheless, it might have been nice to listen to Mark Ronson DJ-ing again... I love that man!
Finally I headed home, starving (again) - what is with fashion events and the mini fashion hors d'oeuvres? Check out the picture - now you know why I miss proper food!
So I'm sitting in the airport lounge getting ready for my flight to Thailand, and busy me couldn’t resist taking once last look at my emails! Lucky I did, as I saw these rather cool preppy trousers from Ben Sherman.
These fitted wide leg trousers include button back pockets and removable braces - so they're adaptable too.
It's enough to make your ovaries clench. Here's Isla on the set of her movie Confessions of a Shopaholic, looking pleased as punch to be showing off baby Olive.
And why shouldn't she? She also gets 10/10 for dressing the little'un in a very cute sheepskin all-in-one thingie (and ensuring it didn't have bear ears on the hood. Ugh, so over).
Herself? Well, it's the Hollywood cold weather uniform of big puffy coat and Uggs. Although I do like the look of that orange jacket lurking 'neath the puffa.
And, er, that's pretty much all I have to say about this particular outfit.
Wit-woo! Now there's a dress to please the hetero men-folk. Not a hint of high fash, just a good old fashioned slinky-slink siren dress. Perfect for the occasion.
Shame about the trowled on make-up. Turns Bar's considerable natural beauty into a bland photofit. Yawny McYawn.
Still, I'm guessing Leo DiCaprio didn't complain that his laydee looked thus.
(By the way, did you know the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue is credited with launching the bikini into popular culture? Like, thanks.)
This, ladies, is how to get into a car without flashing your foof. Deportment tips from Rocky: who'd have thought?
Not that Sly Stallone has a foof. Good lord no. The man's a bubbling torrent of testosterone. All that blood and sweat in his films. And only a man utterly at ease with his own heterosexuality could get away with wearing a man-bracelet of such... bracelety proportions.
(And that ring? Woah. Subtle.)
But anyway. Here's Sly leaving Cipriani - and looking rather suave, with his charcoal suit and navy T-shirt.
Although I don't know what I was expecting. Gum-shield chic?
OK USA! After your massive response to our Zac Efron post yesterday, we thought we'd show you what stylish guys look this side of the pond.
Ed Speleers plays a surf dude on Saturday night's new hit TV soap, Echo Beach. More accustomed to wearing loud board shorts and surf gear for the show, Ed's opted to play it cool here in a stylish understated black leather jacket and shirt.
Ed rocked up at the celeb studded opening of the H&M flagship store in Regent Street, London last night. Unfortunately, he's clearly got a long way to go in the fame stakes; the photographer who took this snap, didn't actually know who he was, and just called him 'guest' in the pic caption. Outrageous!
Can't he spot a star in the making?
Vote below for who is more eye-friendly - Zac or Ed:
Here's Amy shopping in Carnaby Street, mixing her usual bits from the Fifties, bits from the Eighties, plus a bit of Noughties to keep it real. And, as ever, ending up with a look that's totally her own.
This time instead of the 'hive she's gone for a lower-maintenance Fifties housewife headscarf.
Then there's the Eighties-in-homage-to-the-Fifties silky bomber jacket.
And a totally Eighties (meets the Noughties) mega clutch.
There are few men who'll mess about with the suit and tie combo. But Daniel was obviously on such a high from his recent BAFTA that he went a bit 'maverick' for his red carpet appearance at the Paris There Will Be Blood premiere last night.
Now, the bright pink tie is daring, but on consideration, fairly inoffensive and possibly even refreshing.
No, what really disturbs me are the brown suede shoes with the grey pinstripe suit. I mean really Daniel - it looks like you've rushed out the house and forgotten to take off your moth-eaten old slippers.
I'm guessing he took no notice of his wife's advice, who clearly knows her stuff in the shoe department. Men, eh - will they ever learn?
We've just got back from a spectacular show at On|Off Presents, which we'll tell you all about tomorrow!
First we need to get to all the exciting news from yesterday: we caught up with Hadley Freeman to talk to her about her new book 'The Meaning of Sunglasses, A Guide to (Almost) All Things Fashionable'. We're editing the interview as we speak, but to give you a sneak preview we talked about shorts, Nancy Dell'Olio and the fact that Hadley's mum used to be a writer for Sesame street!
After the interview we jumped in a cab with her to the Marios Schwab show at the Topshop New Gen venue, where the silhouette was long and lean. So long and lean that the models had incredible difficulty walking, I've never seen such a slow moving catwalk. The clothes themselves were gorgeous, cut-out dresses revealed jeans and beautiful frothy decayed fabrics gave a feeling of elegance.
We scurried off to the BFC tents for Eley Kishimoto's show entitled 'Bounce Bonnie Bunny Bounce' and as you'd expect from the pair was a jaunty technicolour affair. White tights and matching gauntlets might not catch on but the print dresses and panelled skirts went down a treat.
No sooner had the Ossie Clark show ended than his sons announced they considering filing legal action stating they wanted to "reclaim their father's name to prevent its continued and unauthorised exploitation." We're keen to find out how this story unfolds as the Ossie revival is last in a long line of label relaunches with Biba and Halston among those who have recently been exhumed.
Meanwhile over on OSOYOU.com, they have been working hard scouring the shows for the best shoes. Click here to see more stunners like these ones and to buy the bargaintastic alternitives.
Funny, isn't it? Normally, I'd be pretty unimpressed with this side-zip jeans, too-high heels, see-through top, no-bra combo.
But you know what? It's so good to see Britney Spears minus the ripped fishnets/ dodgy hats/ those cowboy boots, that I'll spare the disparaging comments.
Out shopping with her mum Lynne at Miss Sixty in LA, she just looks nice and, well, normal.
Let's hope this is the start of her recovery, eh? Lord knows she and her fashion sense have suffered long enough.
Another day, another awards ceremony in Celebville.
Last night's Elle Style Awards was the latest event warranting a new dress, new shoes and at least a couple of stylists.
First to step on to the red carpet was Kylie, clearly struggling with all the style changes she's undergone lately. She wore an unflattering olive green maxi dress and a black belt with diamante detail, finishing her, erm interesting look with bright red nail varnish.
Second came Kiera Knightley, who of course pulled her favourite pouty face for the cameras. She finally won an award for her acting in Atonement, winning Best Actress.
Never one to let us down with her minimal yet confident style, Keira wore a cute little black dress and black coat. Hands out of your pockets though please, Keira!
Asked who her style icon was, she answered “I don’t have one”. Just a good stylist then, eh?
Finally, along came Kate Hudson, wearing a potentially awful white maxi dress with a key hole cut out of the chest. But I have to say, she pulled it off (not literally) and looked amazing.
She really is as cute as a button, isn't she? If people lose their cute quotient as they grow up, Rachel Bilson must have been off the radar as a baby.
But I reckon cuteness ain't all that. Take this outfit, for example, which she wore to the premiere of her new movie Jumpers. It's a gorgeous cafe-au-lait silk backless dress with matching patent killer heels and she looks... really pretty. Not fabulous or WOW or va va voom. Just pretty.
I can't think of anything she could wear that wouldn't look. really. pretty.
Aha! The Elle Style Awards: If you whizz down this blog post at speed, you will discover it's like moving from one end of the fashion spectrum to the other.
At one end we have Agyness Deyn, looking the epitomy of v. late Eighties, punk cool in padded shoulder pink jacket, loud t-shirt dress and ripped tights...
... then move on to Lily Allen who is a vision of 'fragrancy' in a pretty, on trend 40s style dress dress - and 'updo' - presumably courtesy of the stylist from Desperate Housewives...
...and then at the other end of fashion spectrum, we have Alexa Chung, who clearly is living out her childhood fantasies in public with a Barbie Island Princess concoction. My three year old daughter will be very 'x'cited'!
Our own London Fashion Week (the Betty Jackson show, to be precise) offers up... Victoria Wood, Jennifer Saunders and Davina McCall.
Not exactly A list, but d'you know what? I like that. It's good ol' British democracy in action. Or summink.
And anyway, Erin O'Connor is just out of shot.
So. What were they wearing? Well, to be honest, nothing exciting. Although I do think that Jennifer Saunders is extremely stylish and a very classy dresser.
Most people put their Grammys on the mantelpiece. But Amy Winehouse was looking so 'swell' yesterday, I wonder if it would be out of turn to suggest she’s found somewhere else to hide them?
I'm getting a real sense of déjà vu here. Not so long ago, Katie Price was in hospital for 'falling down the stairs'. She returned to the world with new boobs (ok, so she admitted that bit) and a alleged new nose.
Now, our Amy pops into rehab and returns looking like this. So where did she really go, go go (sorry, couldn’t help that one)?
Not that I'm not loving her new 'naughty secretary look' - after all, everyone knows the first step in turning your life around is an image change. I just hope her shorthand's up to scratch.
No, not that Sienna's leather jacket is really nice, although it is.
And not that her in-flight bag is quite stunningly covetable, although it is.
Even the joy brought by the knowledge that style mavens, too, still can't resist wearing their Uggs isn't top of my list.
Nope, it's the hat. Recognise it? I'm sure it's the one Rhys Ifans wore in the video to Oasis's The Importance of Being Idle. You know, the one where he's all lanky and 1960s and goes to his own funeral.
And if it isn't her boyfriend's hat, what the heck is Sienna's excuse for wearing it, hmm?
Woah, she looks really uncomfortable. Obviously at that stage of pregnancy where you never feel anything but bloody knackered, I reckon Kerry's done pretty well not to have just stayed in her PJs.
OK, she's wearing East 17-style dungarees, but I've always been a secret fan of the ol' bib and brace. Reminds me of what my mum used to wear when I was little. (Don't laugh. Nostalgia counts for a lot in the fash world. Why else do you think styles come round again every generation?)
Sunglasses and matching jumper and boots complete the look. She's not going to win any style awards, but she's done a good job of looking fine while a small human works tirelessly to push her internal organs ever closer to her shoulders.
When a celeb wears something more than once you know it’s either a must-have, or the stylist’s resigned.
Judging from this pic of Lindsay Lohan, eating out at Benihana of Tokyo in LA last night, there's at least one fashion expert out there looking for new employment.
Remember Linds: a new hair 'do does not distract from recycled fashion choices (Rule No. 12).
Of course, us normal people can get away with re-wearing our fashion - so if you fancy nabbing yourself a pair in biker boots à la Lohan, click here to find your perfect pair.
When you go into court, to do something vaguely significant, like argue for a £20million divorce settlement, from an International Pop Legend, you would get the best advice.
Not just on legal stuff. You'd kinda want your barrister to sit you down and say stuff like: 'Look like a responsible citizen', 'Wear things that make you look injured and serious', 'Basically wear anything that'll make the judge like you...'
Slight problem here: Mrs Macca hasn't got a legal team - 'cause she's doing the case herself!
Nevertheless, on Day 1 of the McCartney/Mills divorce case, she's managed to look suitably sober and dull in this nondescript pink blouse and dark jacket, as she leaves the court.
But let's watch how she progresses in the next five days. Will the craziness start to come out? Only time and an extra-strength zoom lens will tell...
It's only day two of London Fashion Week and I'm already exhausted - how does Hilary Alexandar (fashion ed for the Daily Telegraph) do this?
This morning, instead of heading down to the BFC tents, I made my way to the office to greet our interns who are helping us out this week. They're super keen to get started, although are a little wary of how tired I look.
Then it's off to the Ashley Isham off-schedule show, held at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden. With a celeb-packed front row including Leah Wood, Camilla Rutherford, Lisa Butcher (What Not To Wear) and Blue Peter's Connie Huq, Isham presented a well-rounded collection. Mostly consisting of long draped evening gowns, each piece was a bold colour and belted at the waist. Not the most ground-breaking of designs, but gorgeous all the same.
Along the way, I spotted these gorgeous shoes wandering about the shows, and just had to take a pic! Of course, then I searched for a pair for myself on OSOYOU.com - and found these gorgeous Office look-a-likes! Click here to nab yourself a pair now!
Celebs also filled the front row at the PPQ show where the likes of Lily Allen, Sophie Ellis Bextor and the Geldof sisters mingled with the fash pack. Meanwhile, at the Eley Kishimoto, models looked like they'd just stepped out of a yellow submarine in printed dresses, which were accessorised with white tights and gloves.
London welcomed back iconic British label Ossie Clark with open arms. His strongly-coloured, print-based collection managed to tick all the right boxes - we're already seeing colour trends of turquoise blue, deep yellow and teal.
But it was Topshop collaborator Louise Goldin, who most of us were waiting for. Her futuristic vision of Space Eskimos in padded parka jackets and body con knits was enough to impress the journalist-heavy front row.
Three parties in the evening topped off yet another full day at LFW... think I need a nap now!
OK, so she's playing golf: a fashion black hole at the best of times.
And having a, ahem, considerably older husband probably means your style parameters are different to your peers'.
And I quite like the hat.
But Catherine, if you please, what is with the skirt? The ankle socks are fair enough - you are, after all, playing a sport. But where in the rule book does it say women have to wear skirts that make them look a) Like someone's mum and b) Like their legs are 10 inches too short?
Actually, for all I know that is in the rule book, golf not being known for its enlightened attitude towards women.
When I was at school I played netball for the sole reason that I liked the little pleated skirt. Conversely, surely having to wear such a wrong-in-every-way item is reason enough to drop the golf? I'm sure Michael would understand.
And if he doesn't, offer to take up Crown Green Bowling with him.
There'll be a fair few trends to come out of London Fashion Week this year, but Pixie and Peaches kickstarted it early when they turned up to the PPQ show together yesterday.
Yep, before you could say 'that'll be a trend soon, that will', waddya know, Emma Watson arrived at the Vanity Fair Portraits VIP viewing that night with Razorlight singer Johnny Borrell!
I know - who saw that one coming?
I reckon the Geldof sisters are definitely onto something though. After all, who better than your sister to gossip with in the front row about the new PPQ collection or the unusual next season trends? Or, more to the point, the model that nearly tripped over?
And I'm sure that Emma had nearly as good a time with Johnny. I mean, check out those skinnies - any man prepared to sacrifice blood flow to that particular area must be pretty dedicated to fashion.
Which Kate will get your vote at the Celebrity Mum of the Year awards?
Will it be the nation’s favourite glamour model Katie Price, who has fought through a storm of criticism since becoming a mother to prove everyone wrong? Last year she and hubby Peter Andre welcomed baby Princess Tiamii into the world.
Or what about the nation’s favourite fashion model Kate Moss? The stylish mum of one’s career is going from strength to strength and is the world’s second highest earning supermodel – now that's some boast for the playground.
Or erhaps you’ll cast your vote for TV presenter Kate Garraway. The mum of one is married to psychotherapist Derek Draper.
Seven years ago they were battling for a place in the now defunct pop band Hear’Say - now they’re competing for La Redoute’s Celebrity Mum of the Year.
Myleene Klass has gone from solo classical star to one of the UK’s most in demand TV presenters after her stint in the celeb jungle. She famously went into labour with daughter Ava Bailey just after leaving the TV studio.
Kym has two children, David aged 12 and Emily aged 10, from a previous relationship. Now married to former Eastender Jack Ryder, Kym hits our screens four times a week as barmaid Michelle Connor in Coronation Street.
Suzanne Shaw’s swapped singing for skating and has been in the spotlight for her relationship with love-cheat Darren Day. They pair have a three year old son named Corey.
So will any of the Hear’Say girls win celeb mum of the year?
Say what you like about the Spice Girls - when it comes to motherhood, they manage the work/ kids balance on a worldwide scale.
Spice Mums Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Geri Halliwell and Emma Bunton will all be battling it out for La Redoute’s Celebrity Mum of the Year - so is it time we rewarded the girls for their OSO public parenting?
Single yummy-mummy Geri Halliwell, the oldest of the group, is looking better than ever and the youngest Spice Diva Emma Bunton, the group’s newest mum, went on a hectic world tour just months after giving birth to Beau.
Mel B is perhaps most notable in the past year for her high profile paternity and maintenance battle with Hollywood comedy star Eddie Murphy over their daughter Angel Iris. LA-based Mel has another daughter Phoenix Chi from her first marriage to Spice dancer Jimmy Gulzar.
Posh Spice, who over the past few years has morphed into Vogue Spice, juggles a jetsetting fashionista lifestyle with a gruelling world tour whilst looking after her three sons to football (or should we say soccer) star David Beckham.
High School Musical's Zac Efron - aka Best Looking Bloke Under 25 On The Planet* - doesn't mess around when he travels.
Equipped with his iPod, beanie hat, beige warm cardi, T-shirt and not one but TWO Crumpler bags, he has the look of a man armed for high comfort on a long haul flight.
Not for Zac the trials of celebrity arrival at airports: No face full of make up (ref: Gwen Stefani), no useful-but-ultimately-blinding dark sunglasses (ref: Kate Moss), and no need for high heels and a short skirt (ref: most of the female celeb population, but you in particular, Victoria Beckham).
Nope, Zac's not even opted for the typical bloke-on-a-long-haul-flight outfit, ie. ill-fitting England T-shirt and trackie bottoms.
All that careful image planning in one so young, eh? I just hope at least one of those bags is hiding a duty free-sized bar of Toblerone, or Zac's really going to start freaking me out.
Here's Penelope Cruz at the premiere of Elegy, wearing a rather splendid gown of the flamenco / toilet roll cover variety.
Nuffink wrong with that. There's always a place for loo roll covers in the world of red carpet events, and Penelope looks great in this one, with all that sexy big hair and those gravity-teasing boobs.
In fact I reckon Pen often dresses too old for her years. Maybe because she's small and cute, but wants to be taken seriously (can't blame her for that). But this look is perfect for her.
Cor, Lily Allen has gone all on-trend for her trip to Bond Street, with her floaty dress, sheer tights and amazing death-defying platforms.
She looks great. Not very comfy, but, as Frenchie says to Sandy in Grease, 'Beauty is pain.' Amen to that, sisters.
And you wouldn't go to Bond Street wearing your old bootcuts and a hoodie, would you? Everyone knows there are shopping fashion strata, starting with trip-to-newsagent (aforementioned bootcut combo), moving through provincial high street (second best jeans and nice coat), to major city high street (outfit laid out the night before), and ending up at Bond Street (whole new outfit).
How refreshing to see that Lily's just like the rest of us. Only with a larger budget. And actual fame.
Do you think Gwen might want to be my friend? I only ask because it would, y'know, make my life complete.
I'm not (quite) shallow enough to love her solely for her clothes. I think she's a very cool lady in many ways, and the video for What You Waiting For is reason enough to secure my undying devotion.
But sigh and swoon and shake head in silent wonderment: this outfit is frickin' GORGEOUS!
Safari print flowing frock: obviously on trend-arama. But more importantly, it looks just great on her. Relaxed, comfortable and OSO stylish.
Great baby bottle accessory too. Wonder if it'll catch on?
Oh come on, you've got to allow me at least one laugh at her expense...

As red carpet outfits go we’ve seen worse, but Destiny’s Child singer Beyonce Knowles failed to shine in this full-length blue embellished thing, and we have to wonder whether her stylist was having a joke.
We’re normally loving Beyonce’s bootylicious style but it wasn’t really happening at 2008’s Grammys last night.
Here at OSO Towers we’re thinking the blue is a little on the pale side for the Crazy In Love singer ensuring the dress is definitely not “Irreplaceable”.
We’re sure Jay Z’s better half was more concerned about her duet with the legendary Tina Turner – the pair performed “Proud Mary” – than her red carpet outfit.
For all her faults Rehab singer Amy Winehouse can’t be accused of not being down to earth.
Just look at what she’s wearing after collecting no less than five Grammy Awards last night. OK, so she wasn’t actually at the event but we’d like to think that if we we’re doing a satellite link-up to the great and the good of the world’s music industry we’d use it as an excuse to either buy something new, or wear that special something we’d been saving for best.
Slim-fit jeans and a vest top hardly screams ‘winner of five Grammys’, but good old Amy took collecting her awards as another day’s work – how the other half live eh?
Perhaps if London-born Amy had run away with all six of the awards she was nominated for she would have made more of an effort.
Style aside, well done Amy... congratulations from everyone at OSO Towers.
With the sun out over the weekend and only two days until my winter sun break I can’t help but browse the ‘summer shop’ sections of my best loved shopping websites.
Marks and Spencer have a great range of swim and beachwear available and it’s only February. I especially love this Bandeau print bikini which has great attention to detail; back tie feature and subtle beading. Its flattering design is also a winner for me with ample coverage on the derrière! Click here to purchase this item with OSOYOU.com

We had a rude awakening on Sunday morning, as we arrived at the BFC tents at 9am in time for Paul Costelloe's 9.30 show which was tweeds aplenty. The fash pack was already drinking champers and we spotted our first person in full evening wear! Telegraph editor Hilary Alexander sat in the front row scribbling away, but we later spotted her mouthing the words 'disappointing' to a photographer.
We were stuck with 10p-sized fashion bagels for food, so we quickly retreated from the fashion madness to Oriental Canteen round the corner for a slap-up Chinese meal.
Ben de Lisi surprised us all with his collection which featured rubber ra-ra skirts, liquid-like metallic trousers and sequins. Don't worry though, his bias-cut ballgowns for which he is most famous also made numerous appearances. The crowd was a mix of die-hard fashionistas, glossy Sloanes and celebs with Jimmy Choo and Mark Owen putting in an appearance.
We decided to eschew the fashion glitz for a bit and hang out in Topshop's New Gen Arms, a portion of the exhibition space decked like an old boozer complete with a pool table and giant Connect4!
At Ann Sofie Back in Baker Street the crowd was far more fashion-forward and young but the champagne was also flowing. Topshop photographers and street style bloggers were papping anyone and everyone which eerily mirrored Back's paparazzi themed show. If anyone could take Britney Spears, Heat Magazine and Kate Moss as sources of inspiration and produce an intelligent collection it's Ann Sofie Back.
And we did a bit of street style spotting of our own. We found a beautiful young lady with gorgeous accessories.
Click here to see the rest of her on-trend outfit.
Eech, the things that dress is doing to Keira's boobs! She must have had some serious red markage when she got into her PJs after last night's BAFTA awards.
But other than its boob-bandage properties, this is a frock of fash box-ticking merit, with float, flounce and glamour in abundance (although, to be fair, she did wear it to an awards ceremony. The dresses would be glamorous even if sweat marks and rips were the accessories du jour).
But I am so over the wraith-waif thing Keira's got going on. You're a grown woman from south London, not an ethereal being. So please stop sucking in your cheeks for one second and, I dunno, do a burp or something.
Honestly, we'd like you so much more for it.
If you want to see what some of the other A-Listers wore on the red carpet then click here.
If I was going to The Baftas last night, AND was an international pop icon with a hit album in the charts, AND who had just got back with my sexy French superstar boyfriend, AND had discussed marriage, kids, AND the whole she-bang, I would like to think this is what I would have chosen to wear. A stunning, sleek back dress, topped off with a sexy straight bob.
But I'm not any of those things. More's the pity (Sighs...gets back to toiling at the media coal face).

Here's Christina at the same gallery opening as TomKat. But if Katie Holmes is at one end of the woman spectrum ('cause there toadly is such a thing), then Xtina is at the other.
Where Katie is all long, lean elegance, Christina is all I Am Woman Hear Me Purr (Then Eat You) raunch.
Exploiting those primed-for-breastfeeding boobs (and who can blame her?), and wearing beautiful blue with a tasteful touch of leopard print - and some amazing jewels - Christina looks pretty incredible.
Proof that colouring your hair dark, doesn't give a girl instant class:
Last night, post Grammys - Lindsay Lohan sees Paris Hilton at a party. Lindsay death stares Paris, Paris called Linds a 'b*****', they both fling themselves at a bloke.
The humourous thing about this scenario, more common to a Newport nightclub than a Hollywood bash (y'd'think!) was:
a) the guy in question was uber successful producer Timbaland - who they were both hoping would help revive their faltering music careers
c) Timba, clearly deeply unimpressed with their unladylike behaviour, gave them a blank stare and walked off...
c) they did it right in front one of the UK's top celebrity columnists.
Yes, indeedy: Hollywood's queens of mean, conducted this embarassing fight in the VIP zone, right next to the Mirror columnist, who reported it to a few million of her closest friends, the readers of The Mirror, this morning.
The presence of Lindsey's new dark hair extensions, certainly doesn't seem to have added to LiLo's sophistication...
Rihanna never fails to surprise and ooh let's say delight with her idiosyncratic fashion ooh let's call them moments.
Actually I quite like it. The woman's barely 20. If she can ever get away with, for example, a skintight lace shorts suit, then now's the time she can do it.
So what do we have here? Hands, a head, and several metres of fabric depicting the digestive system of the human body in abstract form.
Or yet another dress that should be vile but looks great on Rihanna. Because it's Rihanna.
That dress must be a nightmare to get into. All ties and bits that need to be fed through other bits. Good job people like Sienna have stylists to do that kind of thing.
Anyhoo: another BAFTA dress, this one all sheer and fashionable. From the front, I'm not sure I like it. It's a bit fussy and you can see her skin through it. And her hair's boring. (Slinky straight hair does not go with roots. It's crossing safe glamour with Sienna's own edgier style. Doesn't work.)
But from the back? Look, it's gorgeous!
If having people watch you walk away is an indication of your impact on a room, then this dress wins.
If you want to see what some of the other A-Listers wore on the red carpet then click here.
Well actually she's 5' 10. Tall, yes - and we all know what a little fella Tom is - but crikey this outfit makes her look positively giraffine. (Like elephantine but, y'know, really tall).
Bless her, it is hard work carrying off any outfit when you're taller than those around you (I speak from experience: I'm 5' 11). The only option is to stand proud in your heels and desperately fight the urge to stoop.
But you know that thing where you're getting ready for a night out and try on your wild card outfit? Items you've never worn together before, but think what the hell I'll give it a go? And, with the planets in alignment, the right song on your stereo, and a glass of wine in your hand, it just works?
And then you spend the entire evening regretting it?
I reckon that's what's happened here (they're at the opening of an LA art museum, since you ask).
She's trying her best, but she just looks a bit embarrassed.
Although of course that could be because she's with Tom Cruise.
After first getting the world to watch her (on TV, I mean - not the internet), accessorise like her, smell like her (Can-Can, anyone?) and soon watch her on the big screen (who can wait for The Hottie And The Nottie? Not I!), Paris Hilton's plan for world domination has taken another step forward. Again: literally.
Because The Pink One has launched a range of footwear for Macy's - and here she is doing the promotional honours at their store in Costa Mesa, California, at the weekend.
From the looks of the sample shoe Paris is holding, I think we can expect the collection to be mainly a) leopard print and b) heels. That said, in another photo, she's holding a pink shoe. Which I guess isn't too surprising.
The thing that's really intriguing me about this photograph, though, is the picture of the large woman on the left. Or rather: the large picture of a woman on the left. Is that Paris? Is it a Random Model? It's hard to tell. But then, we all know Paris doesn't use body doubles, don't we? And how much she values her atistic credibility. So, yes - I'm sure it's her.
Lily Allen was out with the likes of Hugh Grant, Jemima Khan and Thandie Newton on Friday night - well, who wasn't? - at the Vogue pre-BAFTAs party in Mayfair.
As you can see, Lily wore a really rather fabulous blue dress for the occasion. Although looking at this picture, I'm suddenly struck by a strong resemblance...
The stance... the opaque tights... the dress... the orange tan... the look on her face... Is Lily Allen turning into our very own version of Lindsay Lohan?! Say it isn't so!
As in: she's dyed her hair. Although, knowing Lindsay Lohan, it could have meant something else entirely.
Yes, the latest attention-grabbing antic by Ms Lohan is to change her hair colour to dark brown... again.
She also seems to have been going for some sort of Joss Stone-style fashion transformation. Although, never fear, as the eagle-eyed amongst you will have no doubt noticed, Lindsay has still got the trademark Bad Patchy Orange Make-Up Thing going on. You really would have thought she'd learned how to apply that stuff by now, wouldn't you? I mean, I have. And I'm not even a celebrity.
So, New York Fashion Week has come to a close (thanks for the insider coverage, MapleStyle!). And of course it couldn't come to a close without our very own Ambassador Of Style putting in a final appearance.
But sadly Kate Moss couldn't be there - so Victoria Beckham did the honours instead.
Posh turned up to the Marc Jacobs show on Friday night in a sparkling burgundy, backless number and a pair of killer Louboutins.
As the Daily Mail pointed out, the 'backless' element of this dress showed off a rather streaky fake tan - but then it was a slight improvement on Victoria's fashion offering earlier in the week, when she sported a Buddhist-monk style orange dress. iT was all very Zen, apart from the sunglasses and the matching shoes.
Victoria Beckham has all. The money. In the world. She can wear. Whatever. She. Likes.
Hundreds of mourners - including Michelle Williams (on the far right here) and Heath Ledger's family and friends - paid tribute to the young actor at a memorial service in Australia yesterday.
After the service and private funeral, a wake was held at a restaurant on a Perth beach where Heath had loved to surf - and as you can see, the people that had loved him took to the sea, too, in celebration of his life.
It's a refreshing change to see Sienna Miller on the red carpet, as opposed to the grey pavement, for once. And it's all the more refreshing because she looks, well, perfect.
The gorgeous-and-interesting black dress. The tousled, centre-parted updo. The smoky eyes. The lack of feet.
Yes, stepping out on the red - sorry, green patterned - carpet at the London Critics' Circle Film Awards last night, Sienna looked absolutely fabulous. I'm not sure if she actually won an award - but who cares? She's won my Best-Dressed Celebrity Of The Day gong. And with competition like Carmen Electra, that was no mean feat.
Most celebrities and fashionistas don the universal uniform of black, black and more black when attending New York Fashion Week shows.
And then there's Carmen Electra.
Yes, you can take the girl out of Ohio, but you can't make her drink. Or however the saying goes.
Carmen turned up to Fashion Week clearly determined to plough her own style furrow. Which is a polite way of saying she looked a total sight.
The purple dress, the matching shoes, the sort-of-matching sunglasses... it's all just OSO wrong. Carmen: you're in New York. In February. Not Malibu. In August.
Still, come to think of it, if Carmen wanted to pick up a new outfit, she'd come to the right place. Let's hope she left wearing an elegant black trouser suit.
If you're looking for the perfect winter-to-spring style, then look no further than Jennifer Aniston here.
As long as you don't mind looking just that little bit preppy, that is.
This the latest outfit Jen has been sporting on the set of her new movie Traveling. And it's really very nice... in a Never Knowingly Under-Groomed sort of way.
If you want to copy Jennifer's style, all you need to combine is a fitted jacket, big scarf, flirty skirt, leather gloves and opaque tights - and a rather fabulous pair of Mary Jane-style heels.
Et voila! A very smart February look - and a place at a prep school - is yours.
Well, we've all been there, haven't we? Stuck with our giant beehive in a black cab. I know I have.
Fortunately, you'll be glad to know that Amy Winehouse did manage to get her hair out of her cab - and made it to the dentist's in one (hair) piece.
Yes, while America's music scene is gearing up for tomorrow's Grammys, poor old Amy is visiting the dentist. The Beehived One has just found out that she's been granted her visa to perform in the States - but unfortunately won't be able to make it over there in time for the awards. Instead, she'll be performing via satellite link to London. But hey - at least she'll have shiny new teeth when she does so, eh?
Yes, last weekend I told you about Rihanna's love of the gym. Well, I'm not sure she loves it - but she certainly goes there a lot.
Either way, it looks like all her hard work has paid off: because she looked very impressive indeed in this shorts outfit at InStyle magazine's Grammy 'Salute To Fashion' party in California on Thursday night.
It's a pretty ridiculous shorts outfit, admittedly. But kudos to Rihanna for having the guts to wear it. And for managing to balance on one foot like that. Is there nothing this girl can't do?
Well, that’s all folks! And in grand cliché style, the fat lady has sung. Well, actually for New York Fashion Week it was Kim Gordon, of grunge band Sonic Youth, doing the singing.
Last night fashion week ended with the most talked about show of the week: Marc Jacobs. Amidst all the rumours, even a little scandal, MJ pulled it off with an acutely on time show (a knee-jerk reaction to the complaints of his four hour late show of last season?) featuring a live band and a major concert set up rather than a runway. Hmm, I seem to remember hearing something about there being a live band at his show… oh, yeah. That was me! Okay, so I’m being a bit smug. But you have to admit that having OSOYOU’s blog as your port of call for all celeb and style gossip comes in pretty handy when you want the scoop before your mates.
Anyways, the show was kicked off by Marc himself running on stage to tell everyone to get ready. Then Kim Gordon came out and played a rocking show while models strutted their stuff. The clothes were gorgeous as usual. The celebrity attendance was as good as expected. And yes, Victoria Beckham made an appearance. She is his new muse after all! She looked her usual put-together self in a shimmering red dress. But the front row shocker?? K-Fed. Yep that’s right. Kevin Federline put on a suit and attended one of the hottest fashion shows around. I am soo on Team Federline.
And, it all comes to a close with that lovely readers. It’s been grand! And the gossip has been OSO good this time round. So what I will leave you with is of course in the name of style.
First, take a look up and tell me this isn’t the epitome of fashionable? The power red locks, the sexy ivory blouse, the killer heels and a quirky coloured coat. Could this girl be any more stylish? I think not. And that is why she is the perfect way to end fashion week. We can all learn a thing or two from her. Click here to get her style.
You know who else we can learn from? The designers too! Here’s a list of my top five trends for Fall:
1) Eccentric: mixing patterns, granny florals, rich colours, all with feminine flair.
2) High maintenance: Seriously coiffed hair, immaculate sophistication – this woman knows how to work a blouse and skirt.
3) Colour! Say goodbye to black on black and embrace the brightness of Fall. Mixing and matching required.
4) Neckwear: Scarves and exaggerated collars ruled the runways.
5) Moody Glamour: Stunning gowns took to the dark side of a fairy tale with smoky colours and a haunting, dream-like feel.
As sick as I am of that bleedin' Bleeding Love song, I've got to hand it to Leona - she certainly scrubs up well, doesn't she?
Look at all that glossy hair. It's so good to see someone go from an ever-so-apologetic-for-being-on-this-earth style (c. The X Factor) to a confident, sparkly look that shows off those natural good looks.
But even though she must be earning enough by now for a rather large collection of designer handbags, Leona tells the March issue of Cosmopolitan magazine that she still steers clear of leather.
“I don’t like it when someone tells me a bag or jacket is made from real leather," she says. "I’d never wear leather.”
Primark it is then, eh Leona? Honestly, you can take the girl out of Hackney...
One of the best things about my job is that i get sent lots and lots of product each day to look at, so when these gorgeous little booties landed in my inbox i had to go check them out myself! So off i went to Office in my lunch and somehow managed to walk away with a pair all to myself oops! But at £45 (£15 off offer) they're a steal.
These boots are great for taking you from autumn/winter and into spring, no wonder they're tipped to be a best seller. This style is timeless and really wearable. A great piece that you can wear season after season. To calim a pair of your own just click here
WOW! Who would have thought Big Brother’s first set of twins would transform from a couple of Claire’s Accessories disciples to mini-teen fashionistas?
Step forward Britain’s answer to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen: it’s Sam and Amanda Marchant!
This is probably the first time the pair haven't overdone it with accessories - and that hair that’s stepped straight out of a Robert Palmer video. These girls are doing some serious growing up with their style.
Twin Number 1 (well, do you know which is which?) manages to wear their trademark pink with uber-sophistication, and Twin Deux is well into the new ‘vibrant brights’ trend of the season.
Only time will tell if these twins have the might and power to take over from the Olsens - let’s just hope they don't end up taking style tips from the Cheeky Girls.
Sunglasses in the winter, it must be a celebrity. Oh, no - it’s Denise van Outen.
OK, so that’s a bit mean, but why do celebs think it’s acceptable to wear sunnies when it ain’t sunny? Could it be that those early mornings are taking their toll on the leggy presenter’s eyes?
Eyes aside, she worked the black on black look to perfection, managing to wear it in almost every fabric going – leather, wool, cotton and sheepskin – without looking silly.
Which is quite a feat, when you consider she's probably been up since 4am, and the last thing she wants right now is to glam up for the paps while out shopping.
Pay attention, people! You are looking at a decisive moment in Eva Longoria's style wardrobe.
Forget the gorgeous sparkly embridered number she's wearing to the Naeem Khan show at New York Fashion Week. And the be-jewelled clutch. Even the pile-it-high hair.
Can you guess where my eyes are looking? That's right, they're on that guy sitting next to her. Y'know, the stylist who's wearing earmuffs round his neck and sunglasses on his forehead.
I don't care how good he is with clothes- what use is that if he can't find the right body part to put them on?
No, really. Far be it for me to point out that the returning Cher (Just where is she returning from, exactly?) looks like a cross between a Stepford Wife and a silver service waiter.
To be fair, she's never exactly been known for her stellar style choices. But at least there was always a bit of gratuitous flesh flashing. What happened to the good old days, eh?
I'm just glad I'm not Vegas. Seriously, looking into those eyes, I'm not sure I'd want to be taken anywhere by Cher.
Join the fashion royalty at the 11th annual ELLE Style Awards in association with H&M this Tuesday February 12th!
Yep, you could be rubbing floral-clad shoulders (dahling, what else would you be wearing this season?) with the likes of Alexa Chung and Alex Zane in their first reunion since T4's Popworld. Which is bound to be way better than that Miquita girl.
Having become known as the as the fashion Oscars, and celebrating the best from the fashion, film, television and music industries, 2008 is set to be one of the best Style Awards yet, with a highly anticipated performance by Moloko singer Roisin Murphy.
This year's winners will gather at a star-studded ceremony held at The Westway in London's Ladbroke Grove, and you could be in with a chance of joining them! OSOYOU.com has a pair of money-can't-buy tickets on offer for the after party - and let's face it, that's sooo the best bit.

The Hollywood writers' strike may have scuppered the Grammys - but thank the Lord, the 2008 Hasty Pudding Theatricals Woman of the Year Parade is still going strong!
An annual event at Harvard University, the college chose to award actress Charlize Theron the top gong - and doesn't she look like she's having fun?
Like Paris Hilton yesterday, Charlize wore a sensible grey coat when she accepted her award at the college. Pretty lucky, actually - anything more exciting would probably have clashed with the lovely outfits of those two, er, ladies over there.
Although I have to say, I'm quite impressed - who would have known two Harvard students would have known about that autumn/ winter '07 trend for bows?
My mum was right - college boys are cute and brainy.
As long as you can look past the bright red blusher and deeley boppers...
Check out our favourite (well, our only) female Black Eyed Peas member at New York Fashion Week.
Is it wrong that I want to coo 'My, hasn't she grown up?', like a rather annoying auntie?
Fergie's gorgeous new grown-up style goes with an equally adult approach to the press frenzy surrounding her fellow 'slebs.
She's hit out against celebrities that hide their pregnancies like J Lo and Christina Aguilera, saying:
“It’s so stupid. It can be obvious a girl is pregnant but they still deny it. It’s as if they want the attention and press it causes. I wouldn’t be a part of all that nonsense”.
It's good to know you're a sharer, Fergs.
As luck would have it, I am too. Which is why I just have to tell you: Love the grey jumper dress and cardigan combo, but what’s with the shoes? Tan, grey and black does not a good outfit make. When will you learn, dear?
It’s not that often that I feel compelled to talk about someone’s perfect make-up. But I feel that Alesha Dixon deserves a special mention for her efforts here.
Snapped as she was leaving Mint Leaf after the Perfume Shop Nose of the Year Awards (don't ask), her smile is so stunning I reckon she spent hours perfecting it in the mirror.
The make-up is flawless too; shine free foundation with just a touch of blusher, dark eye shadow that makes her eyes look even bigger than they are and the perfect shade of on-trend pink lipstick.
So I’m off to practise my make-up techniques. I figure if I start now (12.00pm), I should just be ready in time to go out this evening with celebrity quality make-up.
However well you plan, something can always go wrong. And that's exactly what happened at two designer shows today when - shock, horror! - two models slipped and fell on the runway.
One at Rebecca Taylor – she lost a shoe. The other at Zac Posen – flat on the floor and she was pro Karen Elson! She laughed it off though, and designer Zac (clad in his usual ringmaster style tux) took her down the runway with him at the end. Like a handsome prince rescuing the damsel…
His show was a fairytale of sorts actually, with sweet eveningwear and Minnie Mouse-like pom poms on models’ heads. Wait… could it have been a planted stunt?
Now for the moment that made my week (if not my year..or life!):
I saw Carine Roitfeld today. Wait, let me rephrase that. I stood four feet away and made eye contact with the editor of Paris Vogue today. So, why are these statements not filled with exclamation marks?? I’m still in shock!
The superb Carine is pretty much my idol in this industry we call fashion, and the fact that you could seriously feel her presence (and not in an icy breeze, Anna Wintour kinda way) makes my long days at the shows this week more than worthwhile.
Carine was exiting from a private meeting in the lobby of the tents, followed by her daughter Julia Reston-Roitfeld. Carine wore a black jersey hooded top with a massive fur coat, while her mini me opted for a girly ivory ruffled dress.
Actually, I should rephrase that, too! Carine was the mini one... tiny in fact! How all that genius comes out of that little woman… *dreamy stare off into the distance*
OK, OK, I’m snapping out of it now. Let’s get to the goods! Having been way too starstruck to even think of snapping the amazing Ms Roitfeld, I plumped for this gorgeous girl instead. The cute sailor-style striped top (bang on-trend for this spring!) and over-sized beanie won me over. Click here to find out how to get the look.
Back at the shows, other American fashion super powers took to the catwalk today. Vera Wang started off with a moody and eccentric feel, full of rich beautiful colour and florals.
Calvin Klein was next, with Liv Tyler sitting in the front row, taking the spotlight off the predictably sterile clothes.
Then came Tommy Hilfiger, before Prince Zac, with a nod to classic American sportswear but in a much more sophisticated way than we’re used to seeing (no chavs here!). And he took our vote for favourite celebrity spots: Pharrel Williams and Maggie Gyllenhall.
Well, tomorrow will bring news of how Fashion Week closed. What really will happen at the Marc Jacobs show? What are the top trends we all must be planning ahead for? Don’t touch that mouse, OSO Blog devotees!
I was beginning to wonder. I mean it's well into February - and we still hadn't seen Kate out in public with her oldest and best friend.
I'm not talking about Sadie Frost, Naomi or any of that s'leb crowd. I'm talking about Kate's favourite, FAVOURITE black DJ-style jacket.
Mossy fans will of course know that in '07 Kate wore this item so much, people were beginning to wonder if she'd run out of cash to buy new clothes.
But here it is again - slipped on so Kate can dash through London airport on her way to presumably New York Fashion Week.
Have to say, she doesn't look half bad, for someone who was out partying the night before with Sadie Frost at Gordon Ramsay's new restaurant, The Warrington, in Maida Vale.
Clearly, the magic style effect of the ubiquitous black jacket!
I know we’ve all heard it a million times already, and no doubt it will be said again (probably by me!), but florals are going to be huge this Spring/Summer. If full-on Forties flower dresses aren’t your thing, then don’t fret - there'll be lots of ways you can dip into this trend.
This Missoni-inspired floral scarf from Oasis is OSO lovely and the great thing is you don’t have to wait for Spring to wear it - it’s available to buy online right now! Just click here.
Witness the next big 'stylish' star in distress moment of the week: Britney Spears checking back out of hospital.
Regular readers of OSO Blog will note that we have previously floated the theory that you can tell how well Britters is by looking at what she has on.
Tell-tale signs to look out for are:
1. How little she's wearing (tick!)
2. Something rather extraordinary going on around her head (tick!)
3. Heee-uge sunglasses (tick!).
4. The company of the dodgy sort of bloke you meet in crap nightclubs (OK, so not in this pic - but rumour has it she met up with Adnan shortly after this was taken...)
So, three out of four - things don't look good for Ms Spears.
Get well soon, Britney - so we can stop ticking those boxes.
OK, so it’s not quite Angelina Jolie at a UN conference, but this is serious; for Paris Hilton at least.
The Hottie and The Nottie star was crowned ‘Woman of the Year’ by Harvard Lampoon’s Humour magazine. Ironic when we’re only six weeks into 2008, but perfect timing when you’ve got a new film out.
So what does a girl do when she’s got a trophy to collect, but ditch the red carpet make up and throw on a “please take me seriously” grey coat?
Now, the chances of us mere mortals waking up with the dilemma of finding an outfit fit for award collection are slim, so let’s not pretend to know the agony of poor Paris as she looked into her wardrobe.
Look at that face, I bet she can’t wait to slip into something more slinky.
P.S. Quote of the Week: "Thank you all for coming. An international icon meets countless people every day." Paris, as she accepted her trophy.
Madonna threw a charity party with Gucci at New York Fashion Week last night, and all the A list attendees got into the giving spirit with gusto. Just look at the cute li'l friends they brought along!
Now, I'm going to excuse Madonna for bringing the pint-sized Lourdes to her big bash. She is, after all, a child, and therefore allowed to be short.
But what's with the rest of you, Katie, Jennifer and Gwyneth? This is a clear case of fashion before friends/ lovers/ whatever weird relationship TomKat have going on.
You can picture the scene: female celeb stares longingly at gorgeous heels; looks down at vertically-challenged invitee; stares back at said gorgeous heels. It was never going to be a fair contest, was it?
Mind you, the ladies certainly pulled out all the stops in the style department. For the first time ever, I can actually say that I've fallen in love with Katie Holmes' outfit. Amazing cut and colour.
Madonna played it safe colour-wise, but again, a lovely shape (and THANK YOU for finally sorting out Lourdes' monobrow).
J Lo made a great choice for a pregnant lady, but can I just say: Whoah! That's a baby bump and a half.
And Gwyneth? Well, the jury's out on this one for me - I'm none too sure about that dress/ heels combo. If you ask me, her wee friend is working the red carpet better.
At least, I think so. If I just squint my eyes a teeny bit...
I'm proud of the celebrities at Fashion Week today. They really proved that when it comes to fashion, they know how to separate business from spectacle, and drew attention to the causes that really matter.
I will admit that as a general rule, I'm fairly sceptical when celebrities start clothing lines. But Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and Justin Timberlake have proven to make extremely smart choices about how they run their business of fashion.
They could easily have run with a mad house of a show, but both The Row (the Olsen’s line) and William Rast (JT’s project) presented their Fall collections with little fanfare and intimate presentations. That way you could focus on the simple and elegant pieces of The Row, and the newly expanded women’s wear of unisex brand William Rast. Instead of gossiping about what the Olsens were wearing, or whether Jessica Biel was there to support JT (she wasn’t). It is about the clothes after all, isn’t it?
But, more on that later.
The other reason I’m so pleased with our lovely celebrities this fine Thursday is the fact that they use their A-list status for good. Madonna partnered with Gucci to host a fundraising benefit, A Night to Benefit Raising Malawi and UNICEF, last night, taking over the United Nations to do it. Now that is star power right there!
This was THE big ticket of the week and a whole host of celebs came out for it. Jennifer Lopez, TomKat, Gwyneth Paltrow, Drew Barrymore, Demi Moore, Gwen Stefani… the list goes on! Rihanna was there to perform after a couple of days reporting at the front row. Seriously, an event dreams were made of.
So, for those without the golden ticket (they were actually gold)? Well, the hipster scene took themselves off to the Anna Sui afterparty, also host to British model Agyness Deyn’s birthday celebration. And the party kicked off early at Anna's afternoon show, where people were dancing in their seats during the catwalk presentation.
Now, remember I mentioned a rumour about a live band being involved in the Marc by Marc Jacobs show? Well, gossip on the front row has it that this will actually happen at Marc's regular Marc Jacobs show instead (Keeping up?). He's scheduled to close the week on Friday evening, and rumours have been swirling like crazy about what he’s got up his sleeve. M.I.A. is rumoured to be involved. Stay tuned for that!
But for now, a little daily dose of fashion comes in the form of this bundled up bit of gorgeousness right here. I loved the colour combo this girl was working. Click here to get it for yourself.
Mere hours after being extensively papped in her bikini (not a euphemism, so stop sniggering at the back) on holiday in the Caribbean, Coleen was spotted out and about in... this.
But let's for a moment disregard the tri-tone dress.
She looks lovely, non? Healthy glow (tan safely this side of orange), wowee wood 'n' leather sandals, great earrings and a pretty pony-tail.
In fact I think she looks so lovely that she gets away with the dress.
My boyfriend saw this pic of Myleene at BAFTA ahead of this Sunday's awards (where she'll be doing red carpet interviews) and said, 'Looks silly. Like a mummy crossed with a mermaid'.
And do you know, I think he might have a point.
Obviously Myleene has an incredible figure, which this dress hugs and skims in all the right places. But when you're blessed with good genes, it's easy to wear clothes well. I want to see something different. I want to be inspired, dammit!
But this dress is dull. Way too easy. I think it's the rent-a-gown neckline that finally spoils it.
There's a hint of something more exciting in the contrast of the red shoes, but the dress is too long to exploit it.
Y'know - when I look at this picture of Amy Winehouse leaving rehab, to visit her husband Blake Fielder in prison, all I want to do is cross my fingers.
Her hair is back to black, the eyeliner is straight-ish - okay so she's wearing that bleetin' red bra again (get it washed, d'y'hear me!). But she looks okay. She looks sober-ish.
And now the news that Kelly Osbourne has offered Amy the cottage in the grounds of The Osbourne family mansion, Buckinghamshire, to stay in post-rehab. Like you do...
'Such a crazy idea - it could almost work,' declared the tabloids this morning.
Kelly's logic is that she's watched her rock and roll dad, Ozzy, deal with fairly heavy drug problems in the past, and so it makes them the ideal family to have around, to deal with Amy's 'issues'.
Let's hope so - as possibly the most stylish jazz style icon of the last ten years, we want Winehouse back in full effect!
Obviously Rachel Bilson thinks that just over a year is long enough for us to come to terms with her split from Adam Brody (*sigh* such a cute couple), as here she is cavorting - cavorting I tell you! - with new beau Hayden Christensen on the set of their movie Jumpers in Rome.
And while Hayden isn't as cute as Adam, he's certainly handsome and, as his style icon is obviously our very own David-Tennant-as-Doctor-Who (suit and Converse, people, suit and Converse), I'm going to give the relationship my blessing.
Then there's Rachel, who's looking v va-va-voom for a little'un, with those studded boots and that gorgeous cinched-waist leather coat.
Now all that's left to do is come up with their couple name. I hereby nominate Rayden.
First thing to mention is that Rihanna is seen here promoting Totes umbrellas. Because she sang a song about an umbrella, you see? Chuh, what those advertising types can do.
The other thing to mention is that she looks bloody amazing. By some fluke Rihanna is the only person on earth who looks good in a silk blouson shorts suit.
And I love love LOVE those orange heels! I want some. Now.
Looking more like that fella off of Yazoo (Eighties band, if before your time) than the celebrated pint-sized pop princess of lore, here's Kylie sauntering along the road wearing a lesson in what doesn't look good.
Top that hides waist: check.
Skirt of precisely the least flattering length: check
Boots of precisely the least flattering height to go with aforementioned skirt: check
I like the beret and oversized metallic satchel, though. Don't much like the tights, but I'm yet to come round to embracing the hotness of sheers. Give me a few weeks, I'll be there.
Poor Lindsay, eh? Once the Toast of Tinseltown, she's now reduced to shopping at designer stores and dining out to merit a decent pap following.
But hey, it's a good thing Linds is prepared to suffer such hardship. Otherwise we'd never have spotted these little lovelies on her feet - some have-to-buy-now biker boots.
Obviously, a girl needs something sturdy on her tootsies when she's doing as much shopping as Lindsay. But I'm sure you lot could find another excuse just as good to rationalise buying a pair.
Like - you've always wanted to marry a biker, and it's the only way to meet one? Or - you've just discovered an innate fear of zips and can only wear buckles from now on?
OK, so I know we told you bright colours were in - great red dress, Paris - but we didn’t mean skin too, silly!
The universe’s favourite socialite Paris Hilton looked as though she had been getting far too friendly with UV lights at the after-party for her new movie The Hottie & The Nottie.
While it may not be the worse case of bad tanning we’ve seen for a while (that prize goes to Ms Chantelle Houghton) but we do think this bout of orange is something she should ‘nottie’ have done. Sorry...
Fortunately for Paris, she managed to deflect attention away from her über-tan the next day by talking about Britney Spears. Yep, that old trick.
Without getting into too much detail (believe me, it's sooo not worth it), Pazza said she felt sorry for Britney, and hoped she got better soon, blah, blah, blah. While handily sitting in front of a great big poster of her new film.
Well y'know, if you don't take advantage of these opportunities...
Each day, resident OSOYOU.com shopping expert, Melissa (eyes left, please) will be sharing her top pick of the day with you lovely lot. Just so you get ahead of the online shopping crowd.
Yep, she's the nice one at OSO Towers.
'I’ve fallen in love with this cute knit from Karen Millen. Highlighting the preppy and spots trend in a subtle way, I can’t wait to team this with a pair of flared long leg jeans and peep-toe platforms. Great casual workwear!'
Yeah baby - Brittany Murphy has it all going on at the New York Fashion shows. The stunning shift dress, tasteful pearl set and immaculate make up. Just. Don't. Look. Left.
Ooh, you did, you looked left!
So just what did happen to Brit's man? Yep, that's right - her man. Hmm.
Did she forget to tell him where they were going? Because from where I'm sitting (in OSO Towers next to a rather tempting box of doughnuts, if you're wondering), he's front row at the most stylish, international fashion event in the Cosmiverse, sitting next to a Hollywood fox, and he's wearing a parka, yellow and pink golf jumper, topped off by red Elton John sunnies. And let's not forget the 'only sexy on Mr Brad Pitt' flat cap!
Last time I looked that combo wasn't exactly happening in fashion.
Note to self: Never again shall I criticise my man for wearing trainers and a sweatshirt when we're out shopping...
Y'know what it's like in the morning. You get up and think: 'Now what do I have to do today? What should I wear?'
The answer for Christina Aguilera is clearly still: 'Anything - as long as it's sexy as hell.'
The Dirrrty Girl obviously thought that this dress - so low cut even Holly Willoughby might have thought twice - was good enough to take her from the glam launch of her new Back to Basics DVD, right to... the voting booth.
Yep, as Christina prepared to cast her vote on 'Super Tuesday' at the US primary elections, she didn't let a little thing like looking respectable get in the way of executing her citizen responsibilities.
Still, with pundits saying this election is so exciting, even the American 'yoof' are voting, maybe a large dose of sexy style at the ballot box is bang on-trend?
Moments after this photo was taken Kylie started galloping in circles, flapping her cape and bellowing 'Ninna ninna ninna ninna, ninna ninna ninna ninna Batmaaaan!'
Possibly.
The woman's had a tough couple of years - and apparently she's back with Olivier. Who could blame her for having a super hero moment?
(Yes, yes, I realise it's a cape. But it does look a bit like she hasn't bothered to put her arms into her coat sleeves. And doesn't she look pretty with the cute up-do, bright blue dress and contrasting black accessories? Perhaps we could even consider forgiving her for this monstrosity.)
Here is Dita Von Teese at the airport, shunning in-flight comfort in favour of WW2 French Resistance glamour (only without the constant threat of being hauled in front of a firing squad).
That two-tone coat is just gorgeous, but the overall effect is sort of sinister. The severe 'do, the weird frameless glasses, the alarmingly rakish beret, the matching scarlet lips and talons...
I'm a little concerned that next time I look out of the window at night, her face will be staring back at me.
For a more flattering, less scary version of Dita's look, click here.
Coleen in bikini in the sea. Coleen in bikini in the sea two metres to the left of previous pic of Coleen in bikini in the sea. Coleen in (wowee!) a kaftan. Coleen in a kaftan but with her legs crossed. Coleen pulling her bikini bottoms out of her bum (look out for that one in Heat next week, innit).
Amazing.
But you can't deny that she looks great. All taut and moisturised - and working that leopard print two-piece.
Amazing what you can do with enormous wealth, fake tan and a couple of weeks in the Caribbean *laughs hollowly*.
101 Things To Do With A Plaid Picnic Blanket. Number one: eat your picnic off it. Number two: wear it to New York Fashion Week.
Like, obviously.
But that's not the only fash faux pas Rihanna's committing here. Oh dear me no. She's also sporting a veritable periodic table of metallics, with bronze (cuffs), gold (bag) and silver (boots).
What would Fashion Week be without a healthy dose of drama? Well, the answer really is ‘not Fashion Week’. So I thought I'ld fill you in on a bit of scoop surrounding the shows yesterday and the night before.
Btw, this time difference is a killer! And as much as I love you OSO Blog readers, I just can’t bear to wake up at 4am to blog about the late night I had before. I need my beauty sleep! So bear with me here as I report from, erm, the past!
The Ports 1961 show turned into a scene from a nightclub as one show crasher was refused entrance and literally had to be hauled off by four burly men (not sure where these burly men came from…). This resulted in all ticket holders who were allotted standing room being turned away as they decided to shut the doors completely.
The launch party for Chloe Sevigny’s new fashion line Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony on the hip Lower East Side neighbourhood created such a stir that invitees were forced to queue for an hour in the rain. As you can imagine, this caused quite a few 'VIP' fashionistas to turn round and go home.
And at the Marc by Marc Jacobs show, I overheard that a certain Editor-in-Chief of a woman’s monthly being given standing room only (normally given to lowly reporters - like moi!), until an assistant asked the woman at the door ‘Don’t you know who she is?’...
A week of fashion drama really calls for a buddy system to brave the events. Which is exactly how our two style stars for today approach it. They even insisted on being photographed together! But hey, that just means a little extra street style for today. I loved the green tweedy jacket with a printed top and quirky grey heels. And can you really go wrong with black on black? Definitely my top looks of the day. Click here to get their looks.
And of course, there's still the fashion shows to talk about. Day 5 was all about glamour and rock stars, with Matthew Williamson falling smack dab in the middle of it all.
A couple Ugly Betty stars and Brittany Murphy (see what I mean about stars from the past?) were among those who took in the smoky, moody glamour at the Badgley Mischka and Monique L’huilleir shows. Sumptuous satins, tweeds and furs led the way in gorgeous autumnal colours. The evening wear didn't disappoint either, as both designers focused on gowns so good I wish that awards season actually existed in Hollywood this year.
Matthew Williamson’s show had a colourful rockabilly edge to it but with luxurious textures and beautiful fur scarves. Williamson, Diesel and Marc by Marc Jacobs dominated the rock star side of the catwalk, with M.I.A., Rihanna, Lydia Hearst and Fergie in the front row and hipster-worthy looks on the runway.
Tomorrow will bring news of just what went on behind the doors of Justin Timberlake’s William Rast party, one of the hot tickets of the week, and the Olsens presenting their own collection. Stay tuned!
I love these front-row-at-fash-show pictures. You can't watch a catwalk and pose for photos, so you get brilliant off-guard moments.
Is Chloe grappling with a spot of trapped wind? What is Milla finding so darn hilarious? Has Ashley really got exciting flashing eyes à la The Terminator?
Hours of fun.
And what can we learn from the style choices of these four fashion mavens? Let's look at the evidence.
Anne Hathaway knows you can't go wrong with a bit of Audrey Hepburn-esque understated elegance. Chloe Sevigny... well, we've discussed her outfit already. Ashley Olsen is still digging black on black. And Milla has a ladder in her tights.
Ever wondered what happens behind the scenes at these fashion shoot whatsits?
Well now you can find out. Lily Cole is the new face of Marks and Spencer Limited Collection,and those lovely peeps have made an exclusive behind-the-scenes vid so you can see just what went down.
Unfortunately if you (like me) are hoping for images of the beautiful Lily Cole sans make-up and with bed hair, I'm afraid you're headed for Disappointment City. She's just as stunning without the slap!
Firstly, it’s Shrove Tuesday, aka Pancake Day, the only day of the year that guarantees a guilt-free dessert.
And secondly, it’s Super Tuesday, aka the day Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama go head-to-head in America for the Democratic election.
And it looks like Barack's fighting dirty. Targeting Hillary's ubiquitous twinset and pearls combo, he's roped in some of his most stylish young celebrity supporters to create a music video for him.
Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas produced this black and white vid Yes, We Can, with guest appearances from the likes of Scarlett Johansson, Grey's Anatomy stars Kate Walsh and Justin Chambers, John Legend, PCD singer Nicole Scherzinger, and Lost star Harold Perrineau.
But hey, I'm sure Hillary's got nothing to worry about. I mean, when was the last time us normal folk were influenced by anything as superficial as image, right?
What has the world come to when England's second most famous WAG has to cart her own luggage around?
We spotted Wayne Rooney's other half Coleen McLoughlin wandering round a clinical looking Caribbean airport, managing to do that thing many celebs find difficult – looking just like you and me.
Walking in full view of the paps, sans sunglasses, high heels or any slap has got to be a celeb first. Check out Gwen Stefani's recent flight outfit if you don't believe me!
Not a velour tracksuit or UGG boot in sight, Coleen's choice of on-flight attire consisted of flats, slim black jeans and a cap sleeve shirt; and what better way to add a splash of colour than with a funky red neck scarf?
The self-confessed high street lover and TV presenter (yes she's not just Wayne's fiancée) wears it so well, it's hard to tell what's designer and what's Asda.
We wonder if she's hiding the trackies and WAG-ified clothing in that rather plain blue suitcase – and there was us thinking celebs only travelled with Louis Vuitton!
Another night, yet another opportunity for Paris Hilton to promote her latest 'acting' job in new film, The Hottie and The Nottie.
We last saw her out on the town with co-star Christine Lakin, where the OSO subtle message was obvious: Paris is the 'Hottie'.
Now here on the red carpet, I'm not so sure - in this unflattering pink Barbie cast-off and day-glo tan, she looks more like the 'Nottie' to me.
Still, I am feeling like we need to be kind to Paris today, as apparently David Letterman made her cry last night on his show…not that I don’t feel like crying myself when I see this dress…
* I think we know what the answer is here, folks...
No dahling, she’s off to yet another Fashion Show in New York. Don’t you know that’s how the fashionistas dress nowadays?
Is it just me or does Heidi Klum bare a striking resemblance to Kate Moss in this pic?
Still, I have to admit I love what she’s wearing. Those plastic paint-on leggings with that all-over sequin top sound horrible on paper, but on Heidi they look fab.
I somehow suspect we’ll be leaving this look up to the fashionistas though. It doesn't strike me as one us mere civilians can pull off without a large amount of pointing and laughing to endure!
And if you love Heidi's coat, then click here to head over to OSOYOU.com and take a look at our fake fur list.
I think you'll find there's a perfectly rational explanation for what we see here. Obviously Chloe, pictured at the Miss Sixty party, couldn't decide what to wear, so wore two outfits at once.
The trés on-trend brogues and tights are great and show off her legs a treat, but I'm pretty sure polo-neck ruched velvet is never a wise move. And there's really no excuse for that ill-fitting blazer.
I respect that Chloe follows her own path when it comes to fashion. I do. And now she's UK Elle mag's Style Advisor, there's never been a greater need to pull out all the fashion stops. But for the life of me I can't imagine why anyone would think looking bad was, y'know, good.
Obviously part of following your own path is that you don't give a fig (or indeed any other medieval fruit) what anyone else thinks.
And you really do have to admire that.
For a more flattering version of Chloe's outfit you should click here.
I have to admit I was a little disappointed with the celebrity turn out over the weekend here at Fashion Week.
It’s not that they weren’t flocking to the front row. The celebrity aspect of the week was clear from the get-go. On Sunday you could watch the packs of photographers move around the tents in search of the biggest names.
But those big names just weren’t there. In fact many a forgotten celeb popped up. Does anyone remember Amy Smart? Piper Perabo, of Coyote Ugly fame, and Sophia Bush, of One Tree Hill were there too.
Mandy Moore made a welcome appearance in my books though. She’s just so lovely she should really sit front row more often. But Kirsten Dunst didn’t even show up at the Lutz & Patmos presentation where she had designed a couple of the looks. And as breath-taking as Jonathan Saunders’ first stateside showing was, it was really only for the fashion set.
Thankfully though, it looks as though celebrities like the work week. Monday brought out Fergie, Rihanna and Hilary Swank. Whew… that was a close one.
I happened to bump into this lovely girl standing outside the tents with my camera at the ready. How chic and easy is this outfit? The great big grey bag, the sleek black ankle boots, and a hint of blue peeking out at the sleeves made this look a winner. Click here to get it for yourself. Besides, what happens outside of the tents is frankly just as important as what happens inside.
But, speaking of inside the tents… I wanted to give you a heads up on what to expect for Fall trend-wise. Yes, I did go to a few shows and look at the clothes not just the front row. So... the trend round-up so far:
Still Going Strong
Spring/Summer trends that last:
- sheer
- neutrals
- prints
- wide leg trousers
Blast From the Past
So last year? Maybe not:
- Thigh high socks. Yep that’s right, they’re back.
- Leggings worn as trousers. Maybe Li Lo is actually on to something?
- The Forties. We still want to look like Katherine Hepburn.
- Tartan. A Fall favourite.
So what’s actually new this season? The biggest one so far is all-American sportswear. And it’s all about shapes and proportions. Say goodbye to trapeze jackets and hello to skinny belts on structured coats with lots of detail. And blue. All shades of the colour were appearing.
So it looks like what happens outside, à la our stylish street walker, really does matter.
Here's Renee in Winnipeg, on the set of her movie Chilled in Miami, wearing (scoff scoff) Mukluks.
So two years ago, non?
But as it is clearly properly freezing there (apparently so cold that some of the crew 'had to be excused'), and she's not wearing them with a teeny tiny sundress in the middle of LA, then I suppose she can be excused.
But if I catch her wearing bootcuts with heels or, I dunno, those neon bendy aerated slip-ons everyone was wearing five years ago... Well phew, there'll be hell to pay.
How many of us could get away with wearing a flat cap, enormo parka and baggy track pants without looking just a weeny bit like we've just been released into the community?
Exactly.
But here's Gwen, at JFK airport, wearing all the above and looking rather fabulous.
Obviously the perfect complexion, designer sunnies and trademark lipstick help. And the fact that her pumps are pristine. No Converse grubby-white-bits misery for her.
Wealth, eh? Gwen can just chuck in a couple of bottles of whitener every time she stocks up on trainers if she wants. Spare laces? Why not! And while you're at it, I'll have two pairs of insoles and a shoe-horn.
I have a confession to make. I feel I can trust you not to laugh in my face.
When I saw this pic I thought, 'Woo hoo! Kate and Kurt! CZJ eat your heart out!'
Then I remembered that Kurt Russell is actually Kate Hudson's step dad.
Oops.
But anyway, social faux pas aside, let's concentrate on what Kate's wearing. And maybe spare a moment to wonder what she said that caused Kurt to give her an actual round of applause.
She looks lovely, doesn't she? Happy, radiant, and pulling off the casual elegance thing with aplomb (yes, aplomb). I'm especially loving the taupe scarf and beads combo, and you can't go wrong with a pair of massive shades.
Now, back to that joke. Maybe some pun on the word 'Hawn'?
If ever, like our Amy, you're in the position of having to take a trip out of rehab in order to visit the US Embassy to discuss getting a visa so you can sing at the Grammy awards - all in front of a million paps - then this is probably the way to do it, wouldn't you say?
Head high, shoulders back, and without a coat so a) you look less vulnerable, and b) everyone can see how much the phrase 'fits like a glove' could have been invented for your tres cute polka dot vest top (with a hint of accent red bra strap).
If I'm honest, perhaps tattoos 'n' tits not the best way to persuade Embassy staff that you're an upstanding citizen unlikely to cause a mad rush of beehives (although that would be cool) and drug use among the yoof of America, simply by your presence at a fancy-pants awards ceremony, but still.
That's what the picture caption says and, quite frankly, I think it's more than enough. How often do you see Jen in specs, after all? And hasn't she dressed sensibly for the cold weather?
I bet those sweet-looking old people nearby, who could possibly be related to her (apparently not important enough information for a picture caption), are very proud.
Now, call me picky (no really, I can take it), but I'm not really feeling Katherine Heigl's red carpet outfit here.
Since marrying musician Josh Kelley, Kath's been snapped out and about a lot lately in her latest role: 'Housewife who spends thousands of dollars on home furnishings'.
And I have to say, I've liked her laidback, off-duty style - take a look here to see what I mean.
Posing at the Victoria's Secret Super Bowl party, Katherine just looks too 'done up' to me. Don't get me wrong, clearly she's stunning, with the perfect figure for that dress. But what's with the bouncy poodle hair?
And I'm none too sure about that shade of red, either. Fashion Rule No. 7: Steer clear of anything that reminds you of food. And that's a plum tomato if ever I saw one.
What do you think - prefer your Heigl dressed up or down? Vote now.
I can almost allow Nicky to get away with wearing last season’s clothes to New York Fashion Week - simply because she looks so darn good in them.
Those leather-look black leggings and multi-buckle Mary Janes look fabulous on her. There aren't many people on this planet that can pull those leggings off (that’s assuming you managed to pull them on in the first place).
She teamed the leggings in question with a black tux jacket and a pretty black top with white lace detail and a matching handbag completing the black ensemble.
When Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise stepped out for lunch and a spot of shopping in West Hollywood this Saturday, it was hard to tell them apart. Until I realised that, unusually for a star couple, it was Tom who was bearing his chest on such a fine, sunny day. Nice.
Snapped leaving the Joans on Third cafe, it looks as if TomKat have gone all out to look, well, exactly the same. From the all-black trouser suits and sunglasses, down to a matching sweeping fringe.
Maybe Tom's jealous of all the attention Katie's been getting for her style choices lately? Y'know what, for the first time, I applaud the whole 'couple dressing alike' thing. Hey, anything's got to be better than this horrible velvet number, right?
Here's Anna Friel on her way to Natalie Imbruglia's birthday party (who knew they were mates?!), having just 'dined' (so said the picture caption) at The Ivy.
The beautiful people don't pop out for a bite to eat, do they? They 'dine'. Only other place you hear that word? The Owl and the Pussycat. They dined on mince and slices of quince. Followed by feuilletine of blah on a bed of yadda drizzled with rhubarb.
Anyway. Back to Anna. The look she's going for here is Lady of Shalott. Or perhaps Kate Bush circa 1977.
At any rate, all languid and beautiful and vaguely barmy.
When OSOYOU.com member MapleStyle told us she'd be out in Manhattan for New York Fashion Week, we just had to get all the behind-the-scenes gossip for our favourite OSO Blog readers - enjoy!
'Hey guys! No, I'm not reporting from the Swiss Alps, just a freezing cold little island called Manhattan. But what’s warming the hearts of the style-obsessed? It’s Fashion Week, people!
And there is just too much to tell so far for one itty bitty blog post, so let’s get straight to the good stuff.
Highlights:
- Kicking off the week with a handful of parties that garnered a line up of celebrities like Ashley Olsen, Anne Hathaway, Isabella Rossellini, Rachel Zoe… to name a few.
- High fashion going green. Future Fashion showed eco-friendly outfits by designers from Burberry to YSL, worn by top models like Irina Lazareanu and Shalom Harlow. The results? Phenomenal. Sustainable fashion has officially hit an all-time high.
- A vintage Halston-clad Liza Minelli singing New York, New York at the Heart Truth Red Dress show where celebrities like Joss Stone (check out her stunning dress here) and Heidi Klum took to the catwalk.
- Sass & Bide’s jubilant and colourful take on Autumn with rainbows of sequins on relaxed tunics, soft, flowing outerwear and black ruched leggings as applauded by Nicky Hilton (check out what she was wearing here).
- The drama swirling about Marc Jacobs' show. The designer threatened to pull it from the New York schedule, but the lastest we heard is that it's back on and that his Marc by Marc show may include a live band.
And outside all the festivities, New York trendsetters do their best to work it on the streets. I found today’s stylish streetwalker relaxing in the blistering cold outside the tents between shows. While I was doing my best Rudolph impression with a case of the sniffles, here she was looking fabulous in an almost patent puffer and a chic pair of shades.
Well, I’m determined to learn a lesson here in dressing to battle the elements in style. And you fair OSO Blog readers can join me by clicking here to get the look.
Stay tuned for more as I continue to report on New York Fashion Week… Just a couple hints on today’s upcoming goss? Homegrown boy Jonathan Saunder’s stateside debut and Kirsten Dunst’s shot at knitwear with Lutz & Patmos. Oh, it’s just too good!'
Here at OSO Towers, we like to show you the whole outfit, from top to toe. But I think in this case we can make an exception. There's more than enough to work with.
The Kittens are pictured here on stage at London's Astoria, so it's not like they've thrown all their clothes on the bed ahead of a night out and plumped for their fave French maid/lame-Sixties-bored-housewife-porno outfit. (Not that I've seen any Sixties bored housewife porn, you understand. *laughs nervously*.)
But still. Wow.
Liz looks fine. But Jenny and Natasha... don't. At all.
At least two kindly chaps in the audience have lent them their jackets to keep the chill off.
Although I think she should seriously consider giving that skirt away.
It was probably woven with finest silk and hand painted by Mongolian virgin nymphs or summink. Whatever. Can't take away the fact that it looks like said nymphs took a vote and decided to jack in the painting by hand in favour of a more efficient vomit production line.
I know dip-dyeing is hot, but really. There has to be some concession to, y'know, niceness.
Anyhoo.
Brangelina still haven't confirmed that Angie's pregnant, although judging by that bump-skimming top and her unusually fulsome boobs, she so is.
(By the way, is Brad actively trying to look ugly? That hair! Astonishing.)
I love Kate Nash (pictured here arriving in Australia for Big Day Out), so I don't want to diss her.
I like the simplicity of the blue and yellow, she's probably tired and bloated from 24 hours in the sky, and anyone who reads their fash mag beauty pages knows that the recycled air in planes plays havoc with your skin.
But good Lord woman, stand up straight! If ever you needed convincing that correct posture can make an outfit, here's your proof.
And I suspect that the skirt is possibly a little bit horrible.
Not that Minnie Mouse would ever have made a home movie quite like Paris's.
Yes, the Paris Hilton Photo-a-thon continues. After bringing you pictures yesterday from her birthday night out, here's today's gem.
It is, as you can see, Paris getting out of a car on one of her typical nights out. A typica l night for Paris currenly being: hitting a nightclub with a 'gal pal' (copyright: all tabloids) and then going on to Lindsay Lohan's house. No, really.
And at least she was properly dressed for the occasion - wearing Lindsay's favourite colour (grey) in her favourite form (a T-shirt-like mini dress, plus opaque tights). Paris, however, did top off her outfit with some rather spectacular shoes that would have made both Kate Moss and Minnie Mouse proud. And you can't say that about many fashion items, now, can you?
Good job I alerted you, there. Otherwise you would have completely missed her.
Actually, the alert is aimed mainly at our readers in Australia - because here was Bjork arriving in Perth yesterday for Big Day Out. Which is rather like Australia's answer to Glastonbury, only (a) it happens over a week or so, (b) it takes place at different cities, and (c) there's guaranteed sunshine.
The Big Day Out in Perth also features the likes of Kate Nash, Arcade Fire and Rage Against The Machine. But then none of those are half as brilliant as Bjork - nor, indeed, half as brilliant as a picture of Bjork looking like this. Three cheers for the Small Icelandic One - hip, hip...!
And you know it's not often that I say that about Lindsay Lohan.
Yes, LiLo was out to lunch in Beverly Hills yesterday - at favourite celebrity eaterie La Scala, since you ask - and for this occasion, she did what she does best. Which is go for "casual chic", with plenty of black and grey.
Other than that, there's not much to report, really. Except that: did you know La Scala's chopped salad is legendary? And the wine list is exceptional, so I hear. Wonderful.
You know the difference between us and celebrities? They go to the gym a lot more.
In fact, they spend so much time in the gym, they don't even bother changing into normal outfits when they pop out to the supermarket. Or "grocery store", as our American cousins would call it.
And here's a case in point: Rihanna, snapped this weekend going to a grocery store and yet clearly dressed for the gym.
Although maybe she's just read all that stuff in magazines that tell us that you can work off 300 calories an hour doing the shopping, and so on? And got dressed accordingly. Now if only we'd caught her doing squat thrusts down Aisle Five....
Take a long, last look at the picture above, ladies - because the Spice Girls tour is no more.
The five girls are downing microphones and hanging up their gold lurex outfits early - and ending their world tour in Toronto later this month. Which is a shame for all the people in Australia, Argentina and China who were hoping to see them. And there were at least three of them.
The reason? "Mel B wasn't having any of it. She misses her husband and children and said she couldn't go on. She's also been flooded with US offers after her success on Dancing With Stars," a 'friend' of the group tells the Daily Mail. "Mel C agreed it was time to call it a day. She was the least excited about it. She also feared it might jeopardise her solo career."
The official line, according to a spokesman for the group, is: "Sadly the tour needs to come to an end by the end of February due to family and personal commitments for Emma, Geri, Mel B, Melanie C and Victoria."
So there you have it. Stop right now, girls. Thank you very much.
I don't know about you, but I'm a big fan of this dresses-with-pockets trend. In fact, only last night I was wearing an LBD with pockets. And very handy they are, too - as Hayden Panettiere no doubt discovered the other night in Los Angeles, when she wore this red dress to the premiere of The Spiderwick Chronicles. She's probably got all kinds of things in there. Her keys. Some chewing gum. A set of curlers.
And keeping things simple and chic as always, Hayden teamed her LRD with a gold clutch bag and gold strappy shoes. Oh, and red nail varnish on her toes. In fact, she's probably got a little pot of the stuff in those pockets there. Well, it would be terribly handy when you scuff them, wouldn't it?
Sorry - that should be: Eva Longoria Parker arrives at David Letterman Show, looks pleased with herself. Because that's how Dave himself addressed her, and it's how her name appears on the posters for her new movie Over Her Dead Body - so I guess that must be her new name. Honestly, it's all go in the world of celebrities, isn't it?
But back to Eva. Teeny tiny Eva. With her new bobbed hairdo, her glitzy flapper (that's flapper)-style dress and her Incredibly High, Patent Platform Shoes. Shoes which got their very own round of applause on the show, no less, such an impact did they make. No wonder Eva was looking pleased with herself - she got to plug her new movie and she managed to walk in these. That's quite some feat. And feet.
While Paris Hilton was over in Arizona getting a red carpet laid out for her because she a) turned another year older and b) once made a home video, George Clooney was getting the red carpet treatment in New York for rather more worthwhile purposes.
George - who has done much to raise awareness of the crisis in Darfur - was named an official 'UN Messenger Of Peace' in a ceremony at the United Nations headquarters. "We tend to not get to see enough of what we need to see anymore. It seems as if at times celebrity can bring that focus," he told the press. "It can't make the policies, it can't change people's minds really, but you can bring a camera where you go because they'll follow you and you can shine a light on it. That seems to be my job."
George's other job, of course, is to look gorgeous in a suit. Which is exactly why we're including him here today, and why, as well as his United Nations honour, he's also gained a place in our Gorgeous Men In Equally Gorgeous Clothes Group. Which is nearly like becoming a United Nations Messenger Of Peace. But not quite.
Here's Paris Hilton arriving on the red carpet at 944 Super Village (whatever that is. Probably not a village, though) in Arizona on Thursday night. For her birthday celebrations. That's right - she had a red carpet laid out because it was her birthday.
And while things seemed to get fairly messy later on in the night - trust me, you don't really want to see the pictures of her canoodling with some fella in her bra (her, not the fella) while standing next to a giant birthday cake - when Paris arrived, she really looked very, well, nice.
Her theme for her outfit was navy blue and metallics - and with this dress, jacket, tights, shoes and bag, I have to say she worked it very well.
The never knowingly under-beautiful Jessica Alba stole the show at the premiere of her new movie The Eye in Los Angeles - turning up with both her never knowingly under-beautiful boyfriend Cash Warren and her baby bump.
She was also, as you can see, sporting two very hot trends for the Spring: namely, sheer fabrics and ruffles, in this cute blue dress which she teamed with a black clutch bag, black stilettos and black tights.
What's not to love? Well, possibly the movie The Eye. But then, you never know.
Doesn’t Camilla Alves look stunning in this gorgeous sheer black dress? I think so.
In case you havn’t heard, sheer is in this season. That’s right, it’s time to ditch those chunky knits and go for a more flattering, feminine look. It’s all about layering chiffons and ruffled silks.
I you love the sound of this new trend, but your just not sure where to start, then you should head on over to OSOYOU.com and take a look at our on trend sheer list. Just click here to take a quick peek.
In a none-too-subtle bid to publicise her new film, The Hottie and the Nottie, Paris stepped out last night with her on-screen 'ugly' bestie Christine Lakin.
Snapped here leaving a party at Katsuya in LA, Paris looks mighty pleased with her token frumpy friend. Even though it's all make-up and Christine is actually quite attractive. Kind of like an Ugly Betty, but on a bigger, far more irritating scale.
And actually, that dress could be quite nice in the spirit of the new florals trend this spring.
But details, schmetails, eh Paris? As long as you had fun.
"Online retail explodes in 2008",
OSOYOU.com forecasts further growth
We're only three months old, but OSOYOU.com is fast becoming the expert on online fashion and social networking. Here are some of the amazing facts about the fastest growth market in the UK.
Christmas
4.4m Brits helped Christmas day online sales explode by 269% to £84m (IMRG). Brit shoppers also spent £767,500 in just 60 seconds on December 10 (Retail Solutions) and made Boxing Day the busiest day for online retailers during the whole of 2007 (Hitwise).

We know what you’re thinking – how does she keep those tresses looking so blonde, silky and shiny?
But enough about Jessica Simpson's dog Daisy (boom, boom), let's step away from puppy pampering and take a look at the A list owner herself.
Hiding under a camouflage cap and oversized sunnies (I'm guessing she used up all her shampoo on the Fluffy One), Jess and pooch had obviously decided to 'slum it' for the day. After all, Daisy usually travels in a Louis Vuitton dog bag. Tough love Jess, tough love.
Well, they say you are what you eat, but here at OSO Towers, we reckon it's more about what you wear – and with a star on that army-style cap, you can see what Jessica is.
Or should that be 'wants to be'? OSO Blog readers, it's over to you.
You know, sometimes I don’t disapprove of a star having a stylist. And seeing Mutya Buena in this pic is making me think: this is one of those times.
Snapped here heading into Momo last night, she didn't just need a stylist. Someone to fix her hair and a make-up wouldn't have been a bad idea. Ooh, as well as someone to steer the pesky ex-Sugababe AWAY from Big Al’s Tattoo parlour down the road.
At this stage, I would usually try to find that one redeeming factor about the Celeb In Question's outfit. In this case, I have to admit I’m struggling.
D'you reckon Abby’s whispering to Peter (just out of shot) that she’s gone and got her heel stuck it the drain and can’t move?
Or maybe she’s just stifling a yawn? After all, it was a long day for her.
Abby Clancy and boyfriend Peter Crouch (apparently some kind of football legend I’m supposed to know about) pulled out all the stops last night for the Cystic Fibrosis Charity Event held at the rather posh Dorchester Hotel in London.
Abby wore one of the most gorgeously stunning half sheer, half opaque black maxi dresses I have ever seen. She didn’t need any accessories, the dress spoke for itself.
Which, having seen Abby with Janice Dickinson in Beauty and the Best, is possibly not the worst thing in the world.
What does the 'sn' in snood stand for? The 'ood' is presumably hood. Snuggly? Snow?
Anyway. Here's Rihanna, rocking the Eighties by wearing a snood. And looking incredible. The jacket is gorgeous and fits her like a dream, and she's another one who's embraced the comfort and leg-lengthening style of the riding boot.
And talking of trends - which we always do, obv - looks like last season's black-on-black look is still going strong! I mean, take a look at the evidence. In the past few weeks alone we've had Gwen Stefani, Lindsay Lohan, Kate Moss, Eva Longoria, Mary-Kate Olson and, er, Leslie Ash, all mixing their black fabrics. Shocking, I call it.
I wait with bated breath for the pics of be-snooded celebrities to come flooding in. Deeley-boppers will be next, you mark my words.
...is exactly what I cooed in my head when I saw this gorgeous pair of knicks from Coco Ribbon.
Part of Mark Heyes' GMTV chic slouch outfits List (roughly translated as: 'comfortable stuff you can wear around the house that doesn't look like you've raided your nan's wardrobe'), these panties would make a perfect 'off-the-cuff, because you're you' type present'.
And with a bit of luck, after I've sent these to my man from OSOYOU.com, he'll come to that very same conclusion himself!

Lingerie
Someone once asked plaintively, and not a little naffly, 'Where have all the cowboys gone?'. And here, ladies and gentlemen, is their answer.
They've all been melted down and re-built into this über-cowboy for the 21st century, with all of the brooding sexiness and none of the dodgy attitude towards 'injuns'.
Johnny Depp. Officially (yes, officially) the most beautiful man in the world, even at 44. Especially now that Brad Pitt's gone all beardy and George Clooney's gone all old.
He can lasso me anytime. I'll be his ra(u)nch hand. Etc etc.
Congrats are in order. Not only has Gwen announced that she's 13 weeks pregnant with a sib for one-year-old Kingston, but she's managed to wangle it so her first post-announcement pic shows her looking aMAZing.
This is how to arrive at LAX in style (take a memo, Ms Hilton).
From trademark platinum hair and scarlet lipstick to oh-my-god-I-WANT-them riding boots, she looks stunning.
Not sure why she's carrying a prison blanket over her arm, mind.
Are you fed up with all that black and over the chunky knit trend? Either way, what you need is fresh spring boost, a colour injection to your dull, lifeless wardrobe. Well look no further, Miss Selfridge has some gorgeous new bargains to be had.
But to make it even easier than that, OSOYOU.com have created a list of their top picks from Miss Selfridge’s new batch. Just click here to take a sneaky peek.
I have a leetle theory. It may not be supported by science, but I'm pretty confident it's a good'un. Here it is:
You can tell when a woman is truly at one with herself when she has a no make-up day but still does her hair.
I know. Insightful.
But look at Ugly Betty herself, on her way to lunch in West Hollywood and looking beautiful with glossy hair, a rather lovely wrap coat, cute ballet pumps and a covetable red, v on trend oversize bag.
And not a scrap of make-up.
Don't you think she looks enviably relaxed and in control?
But if you're not convinced, take a look at the next pic and tell me who looks the more insecure.
The secret to looking like you're shunning the pap spotlight when you're famous and, for example, just off the plane at LAX, is to choose clothes that normal people might wear for a flight.
Like a comfy tracksuit.
But probably best not to wear a velour tracksuit with hot-pink accents, a clashing neon slogan T-shirt, white frame shades and enough slap to give the flight stewards make-up envy.
Because everyone will know you're Paris Hilton, courting attention like only the terminally insecure can.
Here's Myleene Klass on the new M&S ad shoot looking like she's genuinely having a laugh, rather than just yaying it up for the cameras.
I'm really glad she's having a good time. And still looking gorgeous despite wearing no make-up and being covered from boob to foot (take note Angelina: this is the way to wear a maxidress). And cavorting in some balmy white sand location. For lots of cash.
Grrr.
But still, bet it makes you want to look out for that dress.
I really like this pic. Mischa looks sort of delicious, don't you think? Beautiful and happy and... well, womanly. Yes, womanly!
We know (we so know) that there are few white women in Hollywood who look capable of voluptuosity (yes that is a word, as of now) or sashaying seductively.
It's because of them that we have the whole dress-for-your-shape thing. Which really means dress-so-you-look-thinner.
And yet here's Mischa, wearing bright red high-waist shorts on her woo-hoo-hips, a rawk T-shirt and boho bracelets. With black nails, big hair and a smile to top it off. Love it.
Shame the cardi doesn't match, but you can't have everything.
Surely, surely, Kylie's regretting this one? From the armpit-chafing ruff to the black-sash-via-the-Eighties vomit of colour in between, it's just horrible.
Even I Should Be So Lucky-era Kylie would have shied away from this and hauled out the red Lycra minidress and massive black uber-soled shoes instead.
But we know how great Kylie can look. So let's all close our eyes in a couple of seconds' silent contemplation of some of Kylie's better fashion moments.
Gosh, that's a voluminous dress Angelina. What are you hiding? Ooh, lemme think... could it be perchance a few months' worth of gestating foetus? (Or two foetuses, if the gossip sites are to be believed.)
Honestly, there are more subtle ways of hiding a pregnancy. She may as well have donned one of those 'Does my bump look big in this?' T-shirts and been done with it.
Unless she's double-bluffing and isn't pregnant at all, in which case I bow down to her willingness to wear a sack for the greater good of getting the media (that'll be us) all riled up.
Blimey, you know you're famous when someone sees fit to photograph you taking in the trash. And, like, when we see fit to mention it.
But obviously the trash aspect of this photo is not why we chose it (although I would be semi-interested to know whether Li-Lo gets bin juice on her hands like the rest of us). It is, of course, the clothes that grab us.
And La Lohan looks pretty cool here, non?
Great rock T-shirt, niiice shiny jacket and lovely ol' great big designer bag just to ensure the look comes off as vintage and not, y'know, second-hand.
Which is obviously exactly what vintage is. And yay to that, I say!
Obviously it's entirely up to Kate whether she wears head-to-toe perfection or pulls on the first thing she grabs from the pile on her bedroom floor.
For all we know she's just off to buy some milk and a paper. And those, um, toothpastey stains on her jeans may be marks on the camera lense.
Just one leetle question: why (oh why) is she wearing metallic platform-heeled sandals over her socks? They may tick all sorts of fash boxes, but... well, they're just not that nice. Or at least not in the stained-jeans context.
Actually I think I know the answer. She's wearing them in, which any seasoned shoe-buyer knows is best done around the house.
Or on a quick trip to the shops for milk and a paper.
Obviously I don't wish I looked like Diane Kruger. I know about stylists, good lighting and the fact that celebs-in-waiting are handed a How To Stand For Photos crib card on emerging from the womb.
But, still. I wish I looked like Diane Kruger.
Everything about this outfit is right. The dress is stunning and perfect for her shape. The little (we hope) fake fur coat is OSO luxe. The shoes are just wow , and the Viking hairdo is precisely kooky enough to stop the whole thing looking over-styled. (Viking's the next big thing for hair you know. Possibly.)
Even the total lack of tan is... perfect.
Or, to summarise, Diane Kruger looks amazing - even when you can see her pants.
Isn't this a brilliant photo? Amy's having a bit of an amble in Regents Park, absently patting her beehive and working that Formula One neckerchief, granny bag and black pencil mini.
And someone's caught it on camera in a, like, toadly zeitgeisty moment.
She might have her issues, but ol' Wino is truly a style icon. She so clearly doesn't give a flying Sienna what might appear in the fash pages. I mean, can you see yourself settling down with your complementary latte and asking your stylist for 'a Winehouse'? 'Course not. On the rest of us it would look A) Try-hard and B) Rubbish.
There aren't many celebs who, like Amy, resolutely follow their own path. Selma Blair, Chloe Sevigny... And the only other Brit I can think of is Helena Bonham Carter, but hers is less a conscious anti-fash thing and more good old-fashioned posh-Brit barminess.
Wow. Amy Winehouse and Helena Bonham Carter: two sides of the same coin. Who'd have thought?
Ladies, Spring is on it’s way, so it’s time for a style update. My-wardrobe has a whole bunch of stuff I want/need to have.
But if you don’t have the time to trawl through the site looking for that new season must-have dress or the next It shoes, take a look at OSOYOU.com’s top 10 new my-wardrobe items list - complete with tips on the new season trends and how to wear them.
Well actually she doesn't heave a thigh at all, does she? As thighs go I expect Eva's aren't that far up the list of those requiring the highest weight/effort ratio (is there such a list? Gawd help us all if there is).
So. Thigh-high boots, eh? She's certainly working them, despite the fact they've got that fadey suedey thing going on (cf Leslie Ash, last week). And I'm sure my teen-hood fash mag told me never to mix matte and shiny black fabrics.
But she looks amazing. Of course.
And that dress is just downright slap-you-in-the-face gorgeous.
Tsk. Here's Kate Moss mixing her black fabrics too. Don't these people know black-on-black is like, so last season?
But check out the new boots, people. They're not thigh-high! And as we know, Kate loves her thigh boots.
(Believe it or not, I don't actually have a bet on how many times I can get the word 'thigh' into two blog posts.
Thigh thigh thigh.)
But the boots are rather lovely, aren't they? She probably woke up that morning thinking, 'Woop! New boots!' and sprung out of bed with a rare vigour before putting on the outfit she'd laid out the night before 'cause it goes with the boots like really really well.
Don't give me that look. I know I'm not the only one who does that.
If one's outward appearance is any indication of one's inward state of mind, then it looks like troubled Amy Winehouse may have turned a corner.
Because, leaving her East London home last night, she looked dressed up and back to her old self - including her trademark brunette beehive. Which makes me wonder: was it a wig all along? Hmm...
But contrary to newspaper reports, Amy wasn't going back to rehab last night when these shots were taken. “Amy is not in rehab,” her spokesman said. “She was seeing a doctor who she regularly sees as part of her ongoing treatment. It was a regular appointment which she attends all the time. She has not checked in overnight.”
Rehab or not, it looks like the return to an old wig, a pencil skirt and a pair of Louboutins could at least be a positive sign that Amy's turned a corner. Let's hope I don't have to worry about her in a maternal fashion quite so much any more. Bless.
Talk about doing the perfect designer/high street crossover!
Here's Dita Von Teese looking as fabulous as ever, arriving for the Christian Dior Spring/Summer catwalk show in Paris yesterday - the very same day it was announced that she's to be the new, erm, face of Wonderbra.
Yes, in rather more exciting news than the announcement of Pamela Anderson's foray into lingerie design, 35-year-old burlesque star Dita - who even avidly collects lingerie - will be launching a range which we expect to be full of all kinds of glamorous, vintage-inspired pieces.
The 'Wonderbra by Dita Von Teese' collection will go on sale in September - so expect an ad campaign featuring her drumming like a gorilla sometime in the summer. Possibly.
What is it about Amy Winehouse that inspires my maternal side? I see a shot like this and all I can think is: "For goodness sake, Amy girl, put some clothes on! You'll catch your death!"
The poor wee love (see, there I am again) was snapped out clothes shopping this week - and while most of us would wince at the idea of stripping down to our underwear in public, Amy quite merrily displayed that red bra of hers again.
But then, if you thought this was bad, you should take a look at today's papers. They're happily reporting Amy's "nosedive into oblivion", after she was seemingly caught on camera taking various substances.
Dear, oh dear. Amy, please look after yourself. Your dad and I are very worried about you.
And that trend is: pearl necklaces. There, I said it.
So, yes, it's time to raid your granny's jewellery box, ladies. Still, we should have seen it coming. Remember this sneaky peak at the set of the Sex And The City movie back in November? See, SJP is never the fourth person to wear a trend - she's always the first.
Is it just me, or does Pamela Anderson look like a Thunderbirds puppet in this picture? Is she perhaps related to its creator, Gerry?
Mind you, the fact that either a) Pammy is so small or b) the photographer is so tall doesn't help, as this is practically an aerial shot. Maybe that's why she looks like she's about to topple over.
But I digress. Because fascinating as it is to see the lovely Pamela - at a charity gala in Miami on Saturday night - the hot news is that she's planning to launch her own lingerie range this year.
"I am going to sit back and create a line of lingerie and body products, products that are really sexy and things that I love to wear and my friends love to wear," coos the former Baywatch star, before adding: "I also want to do a show about creating those things."
If you're Australian and were in Los Angeles on Saturday night, there was only one place to be. No, not Wallaby's Australian Pub & Grub. The Australia.com Black Tie Gala.
And guess who was the star attraction?
No, not Olivia Newton-John (although seeing her reunited with John Travolta was a bit of a treat) - but the one and only Ms Kylie Minogue.
Kylie wore a long, Grecian-style purple chiffon dress to the event, which she accessorised with gold drop earrings and a glamorous updo. And I can't believe that I'm about to say this about an outfit of Kylie's: but I really, really like it.
And if you want evidence, just look at this picture of her yesterday - and compare and contrast it with this picture from last week.
She's wearing a lovely jacket. Her lipstick isn't smudged. She looks shiny and, well, clean.
Yes, hopefully Britney has indeed dumped Adnan (and if you believe the papers, taken a restraining order out against him) - and is looking decidedly less Toxic than she has been recently.
Fortunately not everyone is at the Sundance Film Festival - and life is continuing as normal in LA.
And here's the photographic evidence: Paris Hilton in the Beverly Hills sunshine. Wearing a hoodie. And neon sunglasses. And flared jogging pants. And leaving a shop.
Mary-Kate Olsen isn't the only one gracing the Sundance Film Festival with her presence - here are Cash Warren and Jessica Alba arriving in Utah for the celeb-fest, too.
And don't they make the perfect catalogue couple? Cash in his lovely cosy grey scarf and hat, red jumper and jeans - and Jessica in her Kate Middleton-stylee white winter coat.
Look at them as they wait for their luggage at the baggage carousel... See, celebrities - they're just like me and you.
While her stylist Rachel Zoe stands on street corners in New York, actress-slash-clothes-horse Mary-Kate Olsen is over in Utah for the Sundance Film Festival.
She does actually have a film to promote - The Wackness, which involves her making out with Ben Kingsley in a phonebox (no, really) - but naturally, what most people are interested in is not MK's acting abilities, but her clothes-wearing abilities.
And her choice for the (sort of) red carpet? A black military-style jacket, black jeans and black heeled boots. Me likey. Very much. Now, back to that phonebox scene...
Yes, here was celebrity über-stylist Rachel Zoe in New York yesterday. Looking very glamorous in a grey carpet, and carrying a very, very, very large and expensive-looking handbag.
Do you suppose it contains her feet? Because I can't spot them anywhere.
Kate Moss was snapped carrying one last night in London, so I'm sure they'll be a rush on them. Get yours now before the shops run out, ladies!
(She was also snapped wearing her tuxedo jacket again, her grey jeans again and her Mukluk boots again. But none of these are as interesting as her carrying a plastic bag, oh no.)
And the award for Best Celebrity Style Transformation goes to...
Jade Goody - who was out last night at Samantha Mumba's birthday party. No, I had no idea they were friends, either, but then they probably all are in Celebsville, aren't they? As proved by this Stella Street moment last week.
But we digress. For here was Jade, out in London's glittering West End, looking great - yes: great - in a Little Black Dress and metallic heels (get your pair here). An outfit which she accessorised with a black clutch bag, a nice brunette 'do and a swish of red lipstick.
Linda Evangelista looking bad. Jade Goody looking good. Where will it all end?
Jessica Alba popped out for a spot of lunch (and to the gym) yesterday - but as always, the pregnant star wasn't seemingly too delighted by the presence of the paparazzi as she did so.
Yes, Jessica might know how to work the red carpet - but she's surprisingly camera-shy when it comes to, y'know, walking along the street, and stuff. Which I don't completely blame her for - but she really has nothing to worry about, because she always looks great. Because she's, y'know, Jessica Alba.
And Jessica Alba (say in "Matt Damon" Team America voice) worked the grey pavement in style again yesterday - in a jersey mini dress, sunglasses, boots, tights and scarf. The result was very nice, although terribly green. And brown. Is it autumn again already?
I saw some pictures of Rachel Bilson recently on t'internet, and they proved just what I've always expected about A-list celebrities. They were group snaps of Rachel with some 'normal' people who she'd clearly run into in a restaurant or wherever, in a sort of "Ooh, can we have our picture taken with you, please, Rachel?!" kind of way. The resulting photos were fascinating, because, as I suspected, Rachel was at least half the height and half the size of the 'normal' people she was standing next to. She also looked extremely lovely, of course, but, as I say: like many major celebrities/famous beauties, she was... well... different-looking. Like a beautiful little alien creature. Which is probably precisely why she's a celebrity in the first place.
But I digress. Because out in the street alone, with no civilians (as Liz Hurley called us) to be compared to, Rachel looks remarkably normal again. And very cute, too - in a great winter-to-spring outfit of boots and opaque tights, mini skirt, denim jacket, tan leather bag (by Zac Posen) and sunglasses.
Now all we have to do is wait for the weather to improve in Britain, and we can go out looking like this, too! Despite not being, well, y'know, different-looking. Hopefully, we can still pull it off.
Accustomed as we are to writing about Kate Middleton, I do believe we've yet to post about Chelsy Davy on this blog. (And when I say "we", I mean "the girls at OSOYOU", not myself in the third person, royal "we".)
So I thought it was about time we did (there's that group "we" again). Next thing you know, we'll be adding a "Royal Family" category over on the right, there. But don't worry: not for a while yet.
And the reason Chelsey Davy warrants a mention today? Well, she's just flown back to Britain - prompting speculation that she's a) going to take up her place again at Leeds University and b) getting back together with Prince Harry.
I, however, am far more interested in what she looks like (thankfully, so are the paparazzi). Because snapped here at landing at Heathrow yesterday, she looked, as always, very lovely - in a bronzed, rich, 22-year-old-sort of way - wearing a white T-shirt, skinny jeans, a brown cardi and some cute silver ethnic jewellery. She also looked, as always, just like a younger Rachel Hunter.
So is Chelsy back to rekindle her romance with Leeds University? I mean: Prince Harry? Who knows. But should she wear anything interesting or look extremely pretty, be sure to keep an eye on that 'Categories' list on the right...
Poor Leslie Ash. She used to be most stylish woman on UKTV, getting to banter with Neil Morrissey and have rib-cracking sex with her husband.
But then, she had some dodgy cosmetic surgery and contracted an infection after a stay in hospital.
Here she is out in London, hours after being awarded compensation for her illness. OK, she's wearing scuffed boots and mum-jeans, but the sparkly clutch / specs case is great. And hey! She's just found out she's £5m richer.
Here Kate is suffering from something with which I'm sure we can all identify. Namely, looking damn fine... until we put our coat on.
Her animal-print dress is so lovely it doesn't matter that she's wearing office-worker tights, and her hair has that shampoo-ad gloss of the terminally rich and / or famous.
But the coat is kind of... utility. Like she didn't buy it especially to go with her outfit, but put it on - gasp! - to keep the chill off.
It's almost - almost - as if she's a normal person. And that would never do.
She's been muted of tone all winter, has Li-Lo, what with all those greys and blacks with ne'er even a hint of krazy taupe to lighten the mood.
So how splendid to see her striding out in luxe white. Those wedges are gorgeous and make her legs look amazing. Even the lacy leggings don't detract.
(Although in my darkest soul I would rather love to be able to get away with wearing white lace around my thighs. But then wouldn't we all? ... No? Oh.)
Wow. Britney really loves those torn fishnets. That's two days in a row she's been seen wearing them. Let's all hope that she's got two pairs, eh? Although I suppose the nature of the fishnet means that they do provide a certain amount of, um, ventilation.
She wore them first with this shirt, tie and biker boots combo. Disturbing, non? (And that top-knot pony tail is like something you used to do to your Barbie.)
Then she let her hair down and changed outfit, into something entirely more stained. And kept on the tights.
Yesterday I saw her clothing choices as a poke in the eye for LA gloss.
I'm sorry, is that Ashlee Simpson as in Jessica Simpson's younger sister?
Here she is at the Cloverfield premiere, and she's got that uber-styled thing going on: plenty of make-up, perfect nails, painfully straight hair (albeit in a rather racy plum colour). And what is with that enormo-clutch?!
Someone needs to tell her stylist that Ashlee is the free-spirited, sings-bare-foot rock chick of the Simpson dynasty.
And while they're at it, they can tell Pete Wentz not to slouch.
If you love her new style, why not click here to copy it?
One of those body language experts would have a field day with this pic, what with Britney all little-girl-submissive and Adnan all menacing-big-man-protector.
I don't know how the ripped fishnets fit into that scenario. Maybe Britney caught them on something, but I like to think she did it on purpose in a 'Submissive? Pah!' stylee.
The coat, the shades, the shoes: all fabulous.
The torn tights and straggly hair: skanky, but in a fabulous, poke-in-the-eye-for-LA-gloss kind of way.
We'll just ignore the butt-skimming ra-ra skirt, shall we?
I've been pondering the reason for the pained expression on Amy's face here. I mean, there are obviously quite a few life issues to choose from, but I think this particular grimace is caused by the ol' Fitting Room Frustration.
Picture the scene: Amy's spent hours sorting through the racks, looking for clothes that not only match her new blonde barnet, but also say 'idiosyncratic rock maiden.' (She's hit the nail on the head with that Eighties shirt, charm necklace and skinnies combo) . When at last she finds some things she likes, she discovers that the fitting room has a Four Items Only policy. Well, you'd be livid wouldn't you?
Either that or she's peeved that a photographer's bugging her while she's out shopping.
Lily Allen said recently that Kate Moss isn't a role model, she's a clothes horse. But what a clothes horse, eh? The Shergar of the fash-pack.
Not many of us could get away with wearing what is, let's face it, fancy dress and still look all tanned and cheek-boney cool. But that's just what Kate did at her 34th birthday party in Soho.
On anyone else that star stencil eye make-up would be ill-advised experimentation. On Kate it's just rockin'. Life eh? Officially not fair.
Btw, not sure about Davinia's When Starfish Attack top, but love love love the crimped hair (bring back crimping!) and Kelly O's green PVC and feathers combo. And I'm liking the time-honoured catalogue pose and all.

Granted, that's rather like predicting 'Kate Moss will be wearing all black today' - but then, if I'd predicted that, I would have actually been wrong.
Because as you can see, Kate wasn't wearing all black. She seems to have, in one foul swoop, switched from her Winter Wardrobe to her Spring Wardrobe - and is stepping out once again in her flared indigo jeans, a cute jacket, a cute scarf and, yes, a cute baker boy hat.
What's that I hear? The sound of women all over Britain throwing out their winter clothes to make way for their spring ones? Indeed. Kate, we're right behind you!
The filming of Jennifer Aniston's new movie in Vancouver continues - and as you can see, her on-set style on day two isn't awfully different from her on-set style from day one.
As in: it's absolutely lovely 'smart-casual' for grown-ups.
Wide-legged trousers, marl grey top, brown heels, and a lovely scarf.
It's altogether... lovely. Just like the lovely Jennifer.
Except that: Britney Spears and Adna Ghalib went shopping in a grocery store yesterday. And this is what she looked like.
Actually...
They're spending all their time together. She looks unkempt. All they do is have lunch and party and go to the grocery store. She appears to be madly in love.
Is it just me, or are Britney Spears and Adnan Ghalib the new Billie Piper and Chris Evans?
And you know what happened next there. Get ready for a Las Vegas wedding, folks!
Yes, Ms Kidman did the unthinkable and exposed her skin to daylight yesterday. Well, that's what popping out for lunch in Sydney does for you.
With no discernable baby - or, indeed, lunch - bump to be seen, Nicole hotfooted it out of Cafe Paradiso in a delightful pale polka dot dress. Which she accessorised with a delightful pale handbag and delightful pale shoes. And delightful pale skin too, of course. Long live the pale one! (And without exposing her skin to harmful rays, she probably will live longer, too).
"Super-cool DJ, producer and musician" (copyright: BBC) Mark Ronson was out partying last night. Which is absolutely fair enough, because he'd just been nominated for three Brit Awards.
It's an illustrious group, full of the likes of Daniel Craig, Brad Pitt and James McAvoy. So does Mark make the grade? Is he fanciable and dapper in this grey suit - or just a little bit silly-looking? Women of the world, cast your vote!
Has Jessica Simpson stolen Jennifer Aniston’s Traveling style?
The day after the first pictures came out of Jen on on the set of her new film, here's Jess in almost exactly the same outfit. Just slightly different colours.
Jessica has been snapped here coming out of Joans on 3rd in LA (that’s a café by the way, not her mum, grandmother or even one of those neighbours you have to call auntie even though you're not related).
Anyway, to get back to the point:
Jess is wearing a chunky long cardigan over another, thinner navy cardigan with a white top underneath that, cinching in her waist with a belt. She teamed all those layers with some wide leg jeans. I’m guessing she wore high heels, but I can’t actually see her feet, so we will never know.
Whatevs, I love it. But then I think I said that about Jen's one yesterday - and she did it first...
Wanting to find the perfect winter-into-spring outfit? Why, look no further than the lovely Lindsay Lohan here!
Yes, Lindsay seems to have put her tan-coloured aberration behind her - and is back to doing what she does best. Which is smart-casual monochrome.
She stepped out in the LA sunshine yesterday in white sunglasses, white T-shirt, grey waistcoat, leggings, a pale jacket and cute peep-toe shoes. It's a look which screams 'spring has sprung!' - and which is very easy to copy with pieces on the high street right now. Find out how right here!
Kate Moss arrived back from the Far East yesterday - and no sooner had she landed on English soil, then she was off out partying. In the daytime. Imagine! I can only put it down her body not yet adjusting to the time difference.
And for that first - yes, there was to be a second - party, a suntanned Kate tucked her hair up into a grey trilby. The rest of her outfit was, as you can see, a sort of homage to Lindsay Lohan. Namely: a mixture of all things grey and black. With Kate's trademark tuxedo jacket chucked in there, of course.
Then last night, La Moss was off out again - this time wearing a black stetson, an enormous fur coat (I'm not sure if it's real, but it could certainly be Wookie), and her trademark black suede boots.
Who knows what she'll wear tomorrow? Not I. But I'm guessing it will probably be black. Or grey. And it might just be a hat.
OK, Katie Holmes: now you're starting to scare me.
Yes, just when you thought Mrs Tom Cruise couldn't look more grown-up, she turned up to record The Late Show With David Letterman last night looking like this. And by 'this' I mean, of course, Anna Wintour.
But rewind to earlier in the day... and she's Victoria Beckham! All fabulous chic coat, enoooormous Hermes Birkin bag on her elbow (I think she hid Tom in there), wide-legged pants and big sunglasses again.
Anna Wintour... Victoria Beckham... What on earth happened to Katie Holmes? Should we report her missing, or something?
She found out that she has lost visitation rights to her two sons. Again.
The latter happened because she turned up four hours late to a hearing at a courthouse (yes, in her wedding dress), during which the judge ruled that Kevin Federline - who wasn't four hours late - maintains custody of Preston and Jayden "indefinitely".
After arriving at the courthouse, Britney and Adnan then promptly left, went to a local church (no, despite the dress, they didn't get married. "She wasn't even there for long, just in and out... I think she just needed to get away," said the pastor), and then, as you can see, had lunch in a shopping mall.
And that, folks, was Britney's day. And how was yours?
Which is why us lot at OSOYOU.com have teamed up with UKFashion Awards' E-tailer of the Year my-wardrobe to give away 10 pairs of designer jeans this month - starting today!
These gorgeous 18th Amendment Indigo Colbert Jeans are up for grabs today - so what are you waiting for?

What are the Spice Girls wearing? More to the point, what is Mel B wearing?!
The girls joined Roberto Cavalli at Milan Fashion Week yesterday - and they obviously decided that what works on stage works, well...anywhere.
Mel C played it safe with a black satin suit yet again. Has anyone seen her in anything else since their comeback?
Emma went for the sensible option too, with this little black dress. Not exactly show-stopping.
But as always, Mel B, Victoria and Geri really delivered!
Mel B continued with her current 'drag queen' look, that basically consists of a a) skin-tight lycra with b) as short a skirt as possible. Check and er, check. She does have a cute new fringe though.
Now, do you remember those dresses with drawstrings at the sides? I didn’t know they were in - maybe I missed the memo. Or maybe Geri missed the one saying they were out?
Thank goodness for Victoria Beckham then, eh? Vickers made her best attempt to save the day style-wise, going for this semi-boho look with a head scarf, but pulling it back to her usual smart look by teaming it with a black suit and an unbuttoned shirt. I love it.
Still, I doubt Roberto could see anything with those shades on. Probably best that he couldn’t, he may have realized what his new fashionista friends were wearing!
It might be all 'yellow this, yellow that' in the fashion world at the mo, but Katie Holmes knows what's best for her - and it turns out that's last season's colour.
Snapped coming out of luxury hotel Casa Del Mar in Santa Monica, she looked gorgeous in this floaty purple blouse that complemented her skin tone and hair perfectly. Katie completed her look with flattering wide leg trousers and burgundy high-heeled courts.
All of which I loved so much, it took me a while to notice the rather bored looking girl standing next to her. Could she be yet another accessory, planted to make Katie look that extra bit more interesting?
Crafty...
Click here if you want to get Katie’s flattering look.
You do know puppies aren't just for Christmas, don't you Coleen?
Oops, my mistake - it's actually just a rather hideous new bag hanging off the Princess of WAGs' arm.
Now, I'm choosing to believe this was a misguided present from Wayne rather than an actual purchase from a girl who's been going up in my style estimation of late. After all, she has teamed it with a tan leather jacket and skinny jeans tucked into very high heeled black Louboutin boots.
Altogether, a smart but casual afternoon outfit. Which is why it's such a shame that her bag looks like it should have a face.
Yes, here's another shot of Britney Spears and her paparazzo boyfriend Adnan Ghalib (he's from Birmingham, you know) together at the weekend. Which isn't much of a surprise, as they are seemingly spending 24 hours a day in each other's company.
What also isn't much of a surprise is that poor Britney isn't looking at her, erm, finest in this shot taken at a shopping mall yesterday. Just look at the poor thing - in her grubby purple T-shirt, cut-off denim shorts and pink boots. And with smeary red lipstick and unkempt hair. Bless her. See what love does for you?
And if you're after the latest gossip on this pair... well, in a round-up of today's online news sources: Britney wore her wedding dress on a day trip out with Adnan; Adnan is still married and only separated from his wife recently; he and Britney may or may not get hitched very soon; Britney may or may not have threatened suicide if forced to go into psychiatric care; and Britney may or may not attend a court hearing today which could decide whether she keeps custody of her children.
Phew. I don't know about you, but I find it exhausting just reading about Britney's life at the moment. So imagine how exhausting it must be living it. No wonder the girl just wanted to go shopping.
It's every 'struggling-to-make-it-in-Hollywood' British gal's worst nightmare.
Anna Friel was just one of many British stars putting a brave face on it after the Golden Globes red carpet event was replaced by a simple press conference last night. Plans for a glitzy bash were abandoned after striking writers threatened to protest at the event, and actors warned they'd stay at home rather than cross the picket line.
None of which reached poor Anna until she'd picked out her dress! The former Brookside star was nominated for Best Actress in a TV Series for hit US show Pushing Daisies, but didn't get to have her big night on the red carpet. She told the Metro newspaper:
‘On the day I found out they weren’t going to happen,my stylist was in the car and I had all these dresses in the back of the car. It was like torture’.
Hmm, wonder I if she still tried them all on and danced around her house like I do?
Anyhoo, Cinderella has decided she will still go to the ball (just a slightly different one), as she isn't going to let her chosen dress go to waste. Thrifty little Anna said: ‘I’m not going to tell you what dress it was because I am going to wear it to something else!’
Not to be outdone by Amy Winehouse and her Bet Lynch scarf, Paris Hilton was spotted partying at the weekend - surprisingly - wearing a 1920s-style sequined bandana thingy.
Is this the start of some new celebrity craze in Hollywood? Or was Paris attending a fancy dress party? Well, it appears to be the former. Which is just as well - because a 1920s headscarf craze fits in very nicely with the 1920s string of pearl craze that seems to be sweeping celebrities right now, too.
Never one to push the fashion boundaries, Jennifer Aniston has embraced one major new spring/ summer trend with this multi-layered outfit.
Snapped on the set of her new film, Traveling, Jen sported an Antison-ed down (oh, I'm good) version of the look previewed on catwalks last year. She (or, let's face it, her stylist) opted for cosy cardigans in muted colours, cinching in her waist with a brown belt and teaming it all with skinny jeans and knee-high boots.
The look was finished off with a tassled scarf and some fresh flowers worn as a corsage.
I'd like to bemoan Jen's typical lack of adventure in opting for browns and blues for this outfit. But a) It's really her character's look, not hers; and b) She's filming in Vancouver, for goodness' sake! I'm surprised we're not seeing her in an all-in-one puffa.
If you love Jen's casual style, click here to get the look now.
I'm not too sure what's most shocking about these pictures.
Is it:
a) What Amy Winehouse's hair looks like without her Bet Lynch headscarf?
b) The fact that she's wearing a tracksuit?
c) The way in which she's popped round to Kelly Osbourne's house for Sunday lunch, thereby proving that celebrities really do inhabit a real-life Stella Street?
Whatever it is, I can only concur with the look on Kelly's face.
Typical. You wait ages for one celebrity baby - and then two come along at once.
Yes, following the news that Nicole Richie gave birth on Friday, we're pleased to tell you that Christina Aguilera and her husband Jordan Bratman became first-time parents on Saturday.
Christina had a little boy called Max Liron Bratman ('Liron' means 'my song' or 'my joy' in Hebrew) - and posted a message on her official website which read:
"Dear fans,
Today is a very joyful and special day for Jordan and I as we welcome our first son into this world.
In honor of our love for each other and our growing family, I have put together a special video for the song 'Save Me From Myself' off my Back to Basics album. This video is very dear to me as it includes actual footage from our personal wedding video!
Just a little something to say 'thank you' for your undying love and support. It is in no small part because of you that I live such a blessed and wonderful life!
Please download and enjoy...
With all my love,
Christina."
And I know what you're thinking. "I want to see that special video with actual footage from Christina's personal wedding video!". So here you are:
Yikes! When did this happen?! Were we just not paying enough attention (surely not?)? Or is it just that we hadn't seen enough pictures of them actually, erm, standing next to each other?
Whatever the reason, Britney Spears and her boyfriend (and I use the term in its loosest, celebrity sense) Adnan Ghalib seem to be morphing into one another.
Dark hair - check. Big dark sunglasses - check. Summery cotton clothes - check. Strange facial hair - erm, not quite check. But you get the point.
Alesha Dixon was looking adorable - if a little tired and emotional - last night. Well, so would I, if I was standing outside Movida nightclub in the wee small hours of the morning.
Alesha had hit the club with a few friends - as you can see - and here was the scene at the end of their long night. A female pal looking a little worse for wear, Alesha looking tired, and a male friend probably calling them all a cab. We've all been there.
Not that I've ever been there looking as lovely as Alesha, however. The Strictly Come Dancing star was dressed to kill in a cream dress, cream shoes and a lovely cropped faux fur jacket. Let's just hope she got home in time to catch up on her (not much needed) beauty sleep...
And finally: Pamela Anderson. Oops, sorry - I mean: Nicollette Sheridan.
Yes, Nicollette is back from her Caribbean holiday - hell, who isn't? - and dressing up to the nines once again.
Here she was leaving a restaurant in Beverly Hills on Friday night - looking terribly Desperate Housewives in an all-black combination of a high-waisted pencil skirt, a barely-there black top, a pair of Jackie O sunglasses and large bag. Oh, and just like Nicky Hilton, a string of pearls. Is this some new trend in Hollywood that no one's telling us about?
Lindsay Lohan was looking terribly mean and moody yesterday. Ooh, I'm scared!!
If you can get over the death stare Lindsay is giving us, however, you might want to try adding a couple of the items she's wearing to your own wardrobe. Although possibly not all of them at once - as I'm not sure the trilby, padded leather jacket, leggings and shoe boots worn altogether like this exactly works. Certainly if you did wear them all at once, you would risk looking like A Young Hollywood Starlet Who's Trying Just That Bit Too Hard.
In fact, now is the perfect time to hit the stores - or, rather OSOYOU.com - to pick up items like Lindsay's in the sales. Just like this Lindsay-style trilby from Oasis, in fact - which is now yours for a mere fiver, and just a click of the mouse. What's not to love?!
Pity poor Nicky Hilton. (No, really. Bear with me). There you are, all dressed up for a night out with your sister - and then her picture appears everywhere a whole day before anyone notices yours. Aww.
Yes, it turns out that Nicky was also at Goa nightclub with Paris on Friday night - but did any of us know that 'til today? No. Probably because she wasn't sporting a engagement ring.
What she was sporting, however, was a hippy-ish hairdo, and an all-black combination of mini dress, leather jacket, opaque tights and a rather fabulous pair of patent shoes. Oh, and a string of pearls to top it all off. Cute!
Because if Heidi Klum is any sort of fashion barometer to go by - and given that she's, y'know, a supermodel, she might be - then blue is going to be very big this coming season, too.
So big, in fact, that it appears to be perfectly acceptable to wear it head-to-toe.
If that's a step too far for you - and given that we're mere mortals, and not supermodels, it might be - then I suggest taking just one leaf out of Heidi's book (rather than ripping out every single page), and updating your wardrobe with a blue handbag, hat or pair of shoes. Et voila! You'll look on-trend - as opposed to a fashion victim. Or, indeed, a supermodel.
Unless you've been spending the past week under a rock - and given the weather and the post-Christmas comedown, I wouldn't blame you - you'll know that Amy Winehouse has cut all her hair off and bleached it blonde. Or: bleached it blonde and cut it all off. Whichever you prefer.
And Amy was snapped doing her usual thing (ie. walking the streets of London late at night and buying lots of snacks in a grocery store) again last night - this time with producer Mark Ronson in tow. But I'm rather more interested in Amy's headgear than in Mark. Which is why it's in the shot, and he isn't.
I don't want to bang on about Amy's strange new look too much - because, as in the case of Britney Spears, it seems to be a transformation brought on by big and stressful life changes (not that I'm a psychologist or anything). But that said: see the rather confused, rabbit-caught-in-headlights look Amy's giving? Well, that's how I'm looking right now as I look at her. 'Nuff said.
Dear me, it's all getting a bit too much today. Britney Spears has been snapped again. Nicole Richie has had her baby. Christina Aguilera might have had her baby (watch this space). And now Paris Hilton is wearing a ring on her engagement finger.
For here was Paris last night: arriving at Goa nightclub in LA and causing a stir as usual in her little teal dress and her swipe of pink lipstick.
But what's of more interest to the eagle-eyed celebrity-watchers out there - that's you, by the way - is the great big rock Ms Hilton is wearing on the fourth finger of her left hand.
So has Paris's boyfriend Alex Vaggo popped the question? Or is this just a way to guarantee Paris coverage on a weekend when Britney, and now Nicole, are dominating the celebrity news? Unfortunately, if it's the latter, then I seemed to have succumbed to her fiendish plot. Doh!
Congratulations to one of our favourite clothes horses, Nicole Richie, and her rocker boyfriend Joel Madden. Because the couple are now the proud parents of a bouncing baby girl.
Nicole had her baby yesterday at every celebrity's favourite hospital, the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. She weighed 6 lbs. 7 oz (the baby, not Nicole) and her name is... drumroll... Harlow Winter Kate Madden. Bless!
"The beautiful, healthy baby girl left the hospital with her ecstatic parents," Nicole's rep told People magazine.
Twenty-six-year-old Nicole first announced she was pregnant back in July, telling Good Morning America: "I would really want to be someone my child would look up to." Given Nicole's stature, that could probably only be done by a new-born baby... so double congratulations, guys!
Now, according to which report you read, Britney Spears either "took a vacation with" (People) or "went on the run with" (Daily Mail) her new British boyfriend, paparazzo Adnan Ghalib.
Either way, they're back - and here's Britney yesterday, arriving at Adnan's house.
The latest story doing the rounds is that Adnan is trying to sell semi-clad pictures of Britney to the media for millions of dollars. And again, according to which report you read, he's either doing this to exploit Britney, or he and Britney are doing it together to make a quick buck.
What's the truth? Who knows. What I do know is that this poor girl needs help, and I don't just mean with her wardrobe.
Which is why us lot at OSOYOU.com have teamed up with UKFashion Awards' E-tailer of the Year my-wardrobe to give away 10 pairs of designer jeans this month - starting today!
These delightful J Brand Love Story Jeans are up for grabs today - so what are you waiting for?

To be honest though, I’m less worried about her dating habits (let's face it, he's not a bad catch), and far more worried that Linds seems to have lost her hand in this pic of her out and about in Beverly Hills...
OK, so I jest - but surely even my awful jokes are more interesting than Lindsay's dull black and grey style right now?
But the night didn't stop there for Katie Holmes. She and Tom made a night of it, heading out for dinner at Cut in Beverly Hills after the film.
And it looks like Katie's been taking style tips from Kate Middleton, as she wrapped up in this very familiar-looking pristine white coat.
Are all Americans obsessed with the Royals and their ilk? Erm, yeah. But if you're keen on Kate's (and Katie's) look too, head on over to our White Coats List for some upper class inspiration.
Remember the braids and belly tops? Or the bling and ridiculously tight jeans?
J-to-the-Lo was never exactly a fashion icon of mine. But since marrying fourth husband Marc Anthony, she's turned the style dial up a notch, leaving her 'ghetto' edge behind for a more sophisticated look.
The February issue of UK's Cosmopolitan magazine, out now, has Jen's first interview since announcing her pregnancy - and they've obviously taken advantage of her change of style direction - just check out the pics! Very minimalist, very classy. Very un-J Lo. Jen confesses to Cosmo:
“What I know is that after I married Marc, I wanted to take stock of my life and make my marriage work. ‘J Lo the diva’ made a conscious effort to become ‘Jennifer the wife’."
Let's be thankful 'Jennifer the wife' has some fashion sense, eh?
All hail Anna Friel! Her career may have peaked with that lesbian kiss in Brookside, but I have to admit, the girl knows how to work the red carpet.
Actually, that's 'pink' carpet. But I digress.
Anna looked fabulous in a gorgeous polka dot sleeveless blouse, a satin high-waisted pencil skirt with a bright red belt at the 7th-annual-something-or-other-to-do-with-diamonds event last night. The final touch was matching bright red lipstick against her flawless English rose skin.
If you’re as desperate as the gang at OSO Towers to steal Anna’s stunning style, just click here to get her look.
Penelope Cruz and boyfriend Javier Bardem are busy enjoying a romantic beach getaway in Brazil this week. And as they played in the surf, lucky Javier couldn't keep his hands off gorgeous Pen. Bless!
It seems a simple black bikini is the must-have for any celeb hoping to catch some winter sun this month: Penelope's string bikini looks really similar to the one Carla Bruni is sporting in Egypt this week.
Although toned Pen and Carla look stunning in this look, I really hope this tiny bikini isn't replacing last summer's flattering one-piece trend: after the excess of Christmas, my bikini body wouldn't impress anyone!
If only I could stop munching on those left over Quality Streets....
French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his new girlfriend, former supermodel Carla Bruni, seem very much in love as they walk hand in hand whilst holidaying in Egypt.
Carla looked stunning in a side-tie black bikini teamed with oversized black shades, whilst Nicolas opted for simple black swim shorts and aviator glasses.
Perhaps Patricia Field could take some inspiration from this unlikely couple next time she's styling a Sex and the City Movie beach scene?
Kim Catrall would look as amazing as 39-year old Carla in this flattering bikini. Although, knowing her alter-ego Samantha, she'd be frollocking on the beach with a much younger man......
Ahhh, Johnny Depp. He really does have it all: talent, floppy hair, and perfect bone structure.
But does all this guarantee his entry to our Gorgeous Men in Equally Gorgeous Clothes Group? Nope! Because his outfit at the Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street premiere was truly hideous.
Johnny sported an ill-fitting oversized black and white suit with a Seventies-style shirt, complete with massive collar. He teamed this with grubby Doc Marten boots and an ill-matching brown belt.
In fact, as hard as I try, I can't think of anything nice to say about this unflattering outfit.
I'm hurt, Johnny. How could you make so little effort?
Here's hoping that for future premieres he looks in the mirror before leaving the house, eh?
Here she is leaving the GMTV studio and, without even a break for a cup of tea, she's being whisked away to Heart FM. I'm sure she doesn't mind though, as it's all to promote her forthcoming series/drama/soap (how do you define it?) Echo Beach.
Martine, as always, looked stunning. She teamed a blue tea dress with black opaque tights and a heavy black fur coat, accessorising with a black Chanel handbag, chunky brown peep toe heels, and acres of gold jewellery.
The overall look was dramatic, vintage and a little bit quirky. The perfect outfit for a 'drama (or is it 'soap'?) queen' like Martine then....
Helena Bonham Carter pulled out all the stops at the Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street premiere last night - well, if you were sharing a red carpet with Johnny Depp, wouldn't you?
Helena teamed a strapless red satin dress with black peep toe stilettoes and oversized statement earrings. I wouldn't have teamed a red dress with black shoes myself (especially when the dress is cut above the ankle to show the shoes off), but I definitely like the neckline of the dress, which really suits her figure.
It's nice to see Helena making such an effort- it makes a welcome change from the bag lady style we usually see her out and about in. Here's hoping she keeps up the good work!
My guess is that Penelope's the one on the left. But who cares, they're both as gorgeous as each other!
These are the first pics of Monica and Penelope Cruz presenting their new spring/summer collection for Mango. And I have to say, I love it.
Not so sure about the incredibly short shorts and ridiculously mini mini-skirts, but the plain, no prints, no patterns idea is definitely up my street.
Don’t get me wrong, patterns and loud prints were fantastic last year. But now I think it’s time to get back down to the basics. Cruz sisters – I salute you!
Parents-to-be Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban dressed appropriately to watch the Kings of Leon play in Sydney last night.
Wearing boot cut jeans, Converse trainers and a black blouse, are we going to see this casual and comfortable look more often from Nic now she’s pregnant?
Put it this way: as long as that shiny silver suit never resurfaces, I'd be happy to see her in Crocs and stonewash dungarees. Hmm, on second thoughts...
Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley continued their home-decorating mission on Wednesday with a trip to Walnut, a boutique wallpaper shop in LA.
Whilst I’m not too bothered about what wallpaper the newlyweds chose, I am rather intrigued by the necklace Katherine's wearing (scroll down for a close-up).
AS you can see, it has the number 23 on it. Could it symbolise the date Kath and Josh got married (December 23rd)?
Or is it just the number of shops Katherine plans to visit before she's finished kitting out her new home? Three down - only 20 to go!
Pregnant Jessica Alba looked delighted on the set of her latest photoshoot in LA yesterday. She changed costumes numerous times during the 8-hour shoot but didn't look unhappy about it for a second. And neither would I, if I had hair as silky and curly as hers.
OK, so I know its a wig. But that doesn't stop Ms Alba looking OSO lovely in it.
I've never been sure about Jess as a blonde (I especially hated her long blonde hair in the Fantastic Four films) but the shoulder-length crop and big bouncy curls? I love!
I don't like the drab outfit teamed with Jess's lovely new 'do though: pregnant or not, at 26 the stunning Miss Alba shouldn't be dressing like a frumpy Eighties mum on a school run.
Especially when in reality, she'll make such a yummy mummy......
Looks like it's not just the girls that are following a 'New Year, New hair' philosophy: the boys are at it too!
The gorgeous Jesse Metcalfe went to Rudy's barbershop in LA yesterday and had a teeny tiny quiff added to his lovely thick locks. And maybe I'm biased because he is soo pretty, but I think it looks fantastic.
Underneath his hairdresser's cape, Jesse's sporting light-wash jeans and logo T-shirt with a long-sleeved cowboy-style shirt worn open over it. Couple that with his lovely new hair, and I think Jesse is a contender for our Gorgeous Men in Equally Gorgeous Clothes Group.
After all, he's gorgeous and he knows how to dress. What more does any girl need?
Prince William's lovely beau Kate Middleton celebrated her 26th birthday yesterday. And she wore a very lovely 'out-and-about' outfit for the occasion.
Kate teamed a simple black polo neck sweater with a long-line black blazer and tartan skirt. She accessorised this with a tan bag, black tights and slouchy black boots. The skirt added a flash of colour to the outfit, and I really love the way Kate always manages to look low key and sophisticated at the same time.
Of course, Kate couldn't complete a day without her beloved white coat, which she wore out to dinner that night.
My Style Tip of the Day? Wear a fashion favourite again and again - and you migth just bag a Prince!
Whilst Amy Winehouse was having her black hair turned blonde, Sarah Jessica Parker was having her blonde hair turned brown. And despite the fact that she is only just leaving the Serge Normant John Frieda salon in the West village, NYC, she still has obvious dark roots. Very strange.
Sex and the City star SJP has ditched Carrie Bradshaw's trademark mane of curly blonde locks in favour of a straight sheet of hair in a rich brunette, and I have just one question. Why?
The dark colour makes Sarah look pale and drained and without her lovely curls her face looks far too narrow.
I just hope this hair faux pas is part of the Sex and the City movie script: It would ruin my day if I thought style icon SJP wouldn't make a hair error this big on purpose.
Although she's trying to hide it underneath a big yellow headscarf, it's plain to see that Amy Winehouse has ditched her trademark jet black locks in favour of sunshine blonde.
Her new 'sunny' hair hasn't changed her distinctive style though: she showed off her new tresses sporting her standard rawk chick look. Amy teamed skinny jeans with leopard print pumps (yes! she has finally replaced those grubby pink ones) and a distinctive logo T-shirt.
As much as I love Amy's individual style, with her olive skintone and spectacularly dark eyebrows, her new 'do just isn't for me. Maybe someone should tell her to go Back to Black...?
Wow, Katie Holmes really scrubs up well, doesn’t she?
And for once, Tom Cruise isn’t bad either.
The couple posed for the cameras on the green carpet (red carpet is so last season, don’t you know) at the Mad Money premiere in LA last night.
I love the fact that Tom has accessorised with a pewter tie to match Katie’s stunning silver dress. She too accessorised with pewter, wearing some sparkly pointed-toe courts, carrying a metallic clutch she completed the perfect look.
It’s a shame Tom can’t be that little bit taller though. Poor Katie had to stoop down to make the height difference between them less obvious. I do hope he gave her a good neck massage when they got home.
Paris Hilton went ghetto casual for her flight from LA yesterday, sporting not one, but two hoodies.
I’m not so sure if the look worked. Let me give you a hint: there was garish giraffe print, combined with two different black and white patterned tops, not to mention jogging bottoms and a cap trimmed in pink to finish it off.
Click here to see Pazza's full shocking look - and view the top 10 hoodies available to buy right now (Paris may look awful, but you can do it right!) - click here.
Hayden Panettiere stepped out yesterday wearing something very different to the glamourous outfits we're used to seeing her sport.
Hayden popped into her local Starbucks in LA to pick up coffee for herself and her dad (aww, bless) And she had really dressed down for the occassion.
Hayden sported burgundy sweat pants teamed with a tight-fitting longline black top. She teamed this black pumps and brown Ray Ban sunglasses. And very comfy her casual outfit looked too!
It's nice to see that some young starlets are just like us: after all, its hard to find the energy to look glamourous every day!
There were so many celebs at the opening of the Cirque du Soleil at the Royal Albert Hall, that it was difficult to know where to look first.
And whilst Alesha Dixon got her opening night outfit right, Chantelle Houghton got it OSO wrong.
Sporting satin high-waisted shorts with fishnet tights and a knitted black polo neck, she accessorised with a long silver heart necklace and black peep-toe heels.
Might I suggest something a little more, erm, sophisticated for your next public appearance, Chantelle? After all, this is Strike Three (may I draw your attention to Strike One and Strike Two) - and I think that means time's up by anyone's standards, right?
Lucy Liu appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman last night, and mighty dressed up for the occassion she was too!
Lucy looked stunning in a pink cap sleeved satin shift dress with tulip shaped skirt which clung to her body beautifully. She teamed this with a patent black belt, pointed toed black heels and long black leather gloves. The whole outfit oozed sophisticated Hollywood glamour.
If you want to steal Lucy's glamourous look in a satin dress of your own, check out our sumptuous satin for under £100 list. Because looking like a star doesn't have to mean spending like one....
Last night was the opening of the Cirque Du Soleil at the Royal Albert Hall, and all the stars came out to see the show.
No one got more dressed up than Alesha Dixon though, who it seems still can't leave the costumes in the Strictly Come Dancing studio alone.
Alesha sported a hot pink floor length frock with a plunging neckline and pretty sheer overlay detailing. Sixties style plastic discs trimmed the bodice and hemline.
And despite it's slight ballroom overtones, I think this dress really suits her: emphasising her dancer's figure and complementing her skin tone.
Looks like 2008 is going to be Alesha's year: first she wins Strictly, and if she keeps this up the fashion awards are going to come flooding in too!
It seems to me that Lindsay Lohan's days revolve around just two things: shopping and partying (oh, and apparently she occassionally makes films, or something).
But what I don't understand is how someone who shops so often can dress so badly?
Lindsay was browsing the Marc Jacobs store in Hollywood with a couple of 'pals' yesterday, but it didn't look like she'd taken any tips from Marc's new collection.
Instead, Linds sported a short black dress teamed with knee high boots and over the knee socks. She finished off the look with a long black leather jacket and oversized leather bag.
Now, unless there is a remake of Pretty Woman that I don't know about, and Lindsay has the starring role, I think it's time this outfit went back in her wardrobe, and never came out again!
Poor Kim Cattrall, she definitely seems to have drawn the short straw when it comes to the Sex and the City costume wardrobe.
First came that terrible swim suit dress and white coat ensemble. And now they’ve put her in a high waisted black bikini!
Kim has an enviably flat tummy, but it seems Patricia Field decided to ignore that and show off her thighs instead. Which aren’t exactly her best feature.
Maybe Patricia's just too busy right now. Being the costume designer for a movie that's guaranteed to be watched by millions of budding fashionistas must really take its toll.
Well if you're looking for help, Pat, I'm free, fashionable and make a great cup of tea!
The usually über-stylish Zac Efron put on a brave face for the cameras when he had to don this rather unattractive raincoat/ woolly hat/ shorts combo on the set of his new film, Seventeen.
Zac's already known for his overly 'orange' skin tone, and now he's been 'outed' by US celebrity blogger Perez Hilton for wearing fake eyelashes, after the NY Daily News ran this blind item:
"Which breakout young male star uses - gasp - fake eyelashes to get his trademark gaze? Dammit, Hollywood, stop toying with us!"
Tsk, tsk, Zac. There's a line - and I think you've just crossed it.
I'm guessing Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen’s New Year's resolution was to be more charitable in '08.
The pair have started the year doing their bit by appearing in an advert for the Teens for Jeans charity.
Teens for Jeans work towards collecting clothes for all the homeless teenagers who live on the streets in America, and are asking the public to donate their old denim to the cause.
Just in time, too. Because if you've been having a New Year wardrobe clearout, you'll be glad to know that once you’ve got rid of your old jeans, you can pick up a new pair for free at OSOYOU.com!
We've teamed up with UKFashion Awards' E-tailer of the Year, my-wardrobe, to give away 10 pairs of designer jeans this month - the month of Jeanuary!
This gorgeous pair of True Religion jeans are up for grabs today!

Is that a grey tinge in your goatee Brad, or is it just the way the light is shining?
Posing with Angelina Jolie on the red carpet at the 13th Annual Critics' Choice Awards in Santa Monica, Bradders opted to try out a new look. But as pleased as he looks with it (can't you just see him thinking 'I'm so darn sexy'?), this definitely isn't my favourite.
After being discharged from hospital at the beginning of the weekend, Britney Spears' plans to get away with her new paparazzo boyfriend, Adnan Ghalib, were put on hold when her car got a flat tyre.
Don't worry (nice people like you always worry), they fixed it eventually - but as I'm not too interested in how to change a tyre, I'm going to talk you through Brit's outfit instead. After all, that's what we're all here for, right?
Having ditched the bright pink wig and very short skirt, Britney went for a more sophisticated, stylish look: skinny jeans with bright red suede boots and a cropped leather jacket. I like.
I'm sure it impressed her new boyfriend, too. But then, he looks easily impressed.
Something obviously tickled Alexa Chung and Kelly Osbourne during their night out in London yesterday.
The happy pair went bowling with the Arctic Monkeys at All Stars Lanes in Bloomsbury Square before heading on to a karaoke bar in Soho.
Maybe it was the thought of Kelly reprising her (very) short singing career that got them going? Or was it Alexa's impression of a wee monkey that gave them the giggles?
Whatever it was, I'm far more interested in their matching monochrome outfits.
Alexa's spotted jumper is just too cute - and I love Kelly's white peep-toes with black opaques. It's a look I've tried loads of times, but have always changed my heels just before heading out the door.
Let's hope they brought their own bowling shoes along on the night - those red and blue shockers would have ruined the look!
As if you needed more proof that motherhood is the biggest celeb trend out there right now, Nicole Kidman has finally confirmed rumours that she's pregnant.
Following in the footsteps of Jessica Alba, Christina Aguilera, Nicole Richie and Halle Berry, she announced her news this morning - before going out to celebrate with husband Keith Urban.
Thought that the world created by Gap adverts didn't really exist? Think again! Because it does in Hollywood.
The evidence? Desperate Housewives' star Marcia Cross - who was out with her hubby and baby twins in Los Angeles yesterday, looking like this.
The cosy green jacket! The cream scarf! The orange woolly hat! The baggy jeans and comfy trainers! Why, she's even holding what looks like a Starbucks coffee. Could this woman be more Gap ad? I think not. Unless everything she was wearing was from Gap, of course.
When I first looked at this latest picture of Lindsay Lohan, I thought to myself: my, what enormous turn-ups on those jeans!
And then I realised that they were boots. Ah.
When I then looked at this latest picture of Lindsay Lohan for a little longer, I happened to notice her very cute top, and her fabulous new hairdo - which makes LiLo look like a cross between Brigitte Bardot and the blonde one from ABBA.
So no wonder she was looking as pleased as punch. So would I, if I left a salon looking like Brigitte Bardot or the blonde one from ABBA. Or indeed, the brunette one from ABBA. Or even one of the men from ABBA. I really wouldn't mind. Honestly.
Forget burn the bra - is Katherine Heigl on a mission to deface the wedding dress?
Nope, Kath's actually at the premiere of her new film, 27 Dresses - and I'm loving the one she wore on the red carpet. She's absolutely stunning in grey sequins with matching peep toes and chunky pearls.
The film is about a woman who's been a bridesmaid 27 times - and reminds us that not all bridesmaid dresses are keepers.
Sometimes the colour is - how should I say it? - garish. and sometimes the bride's taste in fashion is - how should I say it? - hideous.
And then sometimes it's just obvious to all that an enormous bow conveniently placed on anyone's bottom just isn't a good look!

And over on OSOYOU.com we have created our own list of our favourite 27 new dresses that are beautiful and flattering. Why not click here to take a look?
Namely: not just with Chanel handbags and wide belts. But with flowers, too.
Yes, the fragrant Tara Palmer-Tomkinson was snapped out in central London yesterday buying flowers. But of course I'm more interested in what she looked like than what variety of lily she settled for.
She actually looked very, well, TP-T - in an all-black combination of skinny jeans, killer boots, sweater and padded jacket. But in common with the world's most glamorous women, it's all in the accessories, of course: a classic Chanel handbag, classic big sunglasses - and to give her look an on-trend twist, a wide metallic belt. Victoria Beckham, eat your heart out!
That is: if you and I liked dressing in the dark; and our boyfriends liked dressing like catalogue men.
Yes, Paris took the style of dressing known as "I just don't care" to a new extreme at the weekend - when she left the house in black sweat pants, a Rolling Stones T-shirt, a mismatching brown patterened hoodie and brown aviator sunglasses.
Not that her beau Alex Vaggo fared much better on their night out at the cinema. Looking like a cross between a Swiss ski instructor and, yes, a catalogue man, his 'cosy' high-necked jumper, matching grey trousers and smart shoes almost put Paris's unique outfit in the shade. Still, with cheekbones like that, I think we can forgive him, can't we?
Yes, I realise you may have to take my word for it: but that really is Lily Allen.
The pop princess hit the January sales in London yesterday, and as you can see, she was looked extremely cosy - if slightly frazzled - in a faux fur coat, jeans and Ugg boots.
But Lily - didn't you know that you can do all your January fashion shopping online at OSOYOU.com?! Let's hope this picture was taken as you were making your way home, ready to put the kettle on, switch on your computer, make a cup of tea and do shopping as nature intended, ie. with your feet up.
Which is why us lot at OSOYOU.com have teamed up with UKFashion Awards' E-tailer of the Year MyWardrobe.com to give away 10 pairs of designer jeans this month - starting today!

And by the looks of things, Lindsay's return to LA is a matter of celebration for local supermarket owners. Or 'grocery store owners', as they're known across the Pond.
Because Lindsay has spent her first day back in the States buying shedloads of groceries. And for her trip to her local grocery store, she wore shedloads of make-up.
Lindsay: you're a pretty girl. You really don't have to wear so much foundation. Especially not of the orange variety. May I suggest you scrub it off and replace it with something a little paler? Say, something possibly which matches your hands? That's our gal!
This one Sex and the City movie style I really hope doesn't end up on the high street.
I'll ignore the fact that Kim really can't be cold enough for UGG boots in the Malibu sun, and move straight on to that hideous swimsuit-slash-evening-dress and long coat. What was she thinking? Or rather, what was Patricia Field thinking?
I know this is Sex and the City and they can be a little out there with their style sometimes but still, this is one I'll definitely be leaving to the silver screen.
There is an up-side, though. I do like her cosy looking UGGs, and they are better suited to English weather. If you want a pair for yourself, click here to take a look at our slouchy boots list over on OSOYOU.com.
But maybe just forget about the swimsuit dress, eh?
That Katherine Heigl - she just doesn't stop, does she?
Not content with her paint-buying spree last week, the newly-wed actress opted for a spot of rug shopping this weekend - presumably to complete the look in her marital home.
And, just like last week, she was dressed to impress with this checked jacket and white shirt with rolled up sleeves. All complete with a huge smile to show just how happy she is to be homeware shopping as Mrs Josh Kelley.
And that's one accessory you can't buy down your local shopping centre, folks. Or indeed, Homebase.
Along with Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens (see below), Halle Berry was also at the Palm Springs Film Festival at the weekend.
And I swear to god, in almost every single photo she was waving her handbag at us.
Was she just being friendly, and waving at everyone, forgetting she was carrying her purse in that hand? Was she trying to divert attention away from her adorable maternity babydoll dress? Presumably not. But I'm not sure there's another explanation for it.
So: Halle, yes. Your handbag is adorable. And so is your dress, and your hairdo and your lovely strappy shoes. Now, bless - give your right arm a rest, and put down that purse.
If you love Halle's purse as much as she clearly does, then click here to check out our Hale inspired pretty purses list over on OSOYOU.com.
sAfter seeing everyone from Posh to Tara Reid to Lindsay Lohan work the ‘airport look’, we finally have a winner. Or rather, two.
OSO cute couple, Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz.
The pair arrived at LAX airport in Los Angeles over the weekend and looked every bit the rock 'n' roll stars, erm, one of them is.
Ashlee looked quirky cool in her new video, and the fashionista continued her stunning look in a black cardigan, scarf and trendy trilby. If you love her look as much as we do then click here to steal her style.
Pete, on the other hand, went for a far more colourful look in this lovely purple hoodie - he's definitely cute enough to include in our Gorgeous Men in Equally Gorgeous Clothes Group - click here to see which other male celebs have made the grade.
But the main reason they came top of our airport style list? Their matching skinnies! Now if that's not love, then I don't know what is. Bless.
WIN!
You can win your own pair of designer skinnies this 'Jeanuary' on OSOYOU.com! We've teamed up with UKFashion Awards E-tailer of the Year MyWardrobe.com to give away 10 pairs of the stars' favourite designer jeans this month - including brands like Lofli, Sass and Bide, Seven for all Mankind, 18th Amendment and J Brand.
Yep, no more strutting about on the catwalk for her!
Well OK, maybe Naomi Campbell hasn't given up modelling for good - but she has taken on a new role as contributing editor for GQ magazine.
And it looks like her new day job is taking its toll - the poor thing's already so worn out, she's had to have a holiday.
Shown here sunning herself on the beach at singer Shakira's place in Uruguay, Naomi's probably fresh from her first assignment: interviewing Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez.
Straight in at the deep end then!
And it seems she's not just a pretty face - the president apparently opened up to Naomi during their chat, declaring George W Bush ‘completely crazy’ and comparing Camilla to Princess Diana (key quote: 'She’s not as attractive is she?').
It wasn't all about, erm, serious world issues though. Hugo also talked clothes with Naomi, saying he admired Fidel Castro's sense of style.
Which just goes to show, even leaders of small South American countries think about fashion.
Not really! Because as you can see, she's giving him a cheeky grin at the same time. Or is that the paparazzi? Hmm.
Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron - stars of some sort of popular craze that's sweeping the nation's under-12s called High School Musical - were on the red carpet last night for the Palm Springs Film Festival.
And very fetching they looked, too. Vanessa in a gorgeous black strapless dress and fabulous bouffant updo, and Zac in a painfully dapper suit. All this, and their combined age is about 12. Let's hope someone was able to buy alcohol for them at the bar, eh?
We've all done it. Come back from holiday still wearing our hot-weather clothes. But only Amy Winehouse could do it looking quite like this. Bless her.
Yes, she might have flown back after a holiday in the Caribbean - but poor wee Amy looks like she barely caught any rays. What she did catch, it seems, is 'Madonna Circa Desperately Seeking Susan Fever'.
It's a little-known disease, but fortunately it is curable. All you need to do is throw out all the string vests, denim shorts and multiple accessories from your wardrobe, brush your hair and put on a nice long dress. Let's hope Amy isn't beyond saving.
And if you agree that Amy is in need of a new bra too, click here to see how we can help her out over on OSOYOU.com.
Lily Allen is fed up wiv peeps usin txt spk 2 talk 2 their m8s.
Despite having released a song called LDN (text slang for 'London'), the pregnant singer said: “I get upset at how illiterate young people are becoming.”
Tsk tsk, bet it wasn't like that in your day, eh Lil?
Well, I just hope this new 'sensible' attitude isn't going to be reflected in Lily's style choices from now on - just when she'd started wearing gorgeous dresses like this one from the end of December, too.

Posh and Becks were out having a meal in St Alban's - that's the fancy restaurant, not the town - on Saturday night. And as usual, they caused quite a stir. Not only by their mere presence - which is cause for paparazzi mayhem any day of the week, of course - but by what they were wearing.
Because not only was Victoria not wearing black: she was wearing bright neon yellow. And on her feet, too! Imagine! We've even given you a close-up so you can see that embroidered, marigold-patterened strapless dress in full. And Victoria's protuding, erm, 'assets'. Should you so wish to see them close-up.
And as for David: well, he looked like he'd stepped out of the 1920s. Dapper trousers, waistcoat and yes, arm garters. Or whatever they're called.
So now you know what you and your fella should be wearing in 2008, ladies. He should look like a Depression-era newspaper journalist (think Cary Grant in His Girl Friday), while you should dress like a banana. Carmen Miranda, eat your heart out!
Looking like the Olsen twins' big sister - namely, all centre-parting and smoky eyes - Carmen Electra took to the red carpet in Las Vegas on Friday night.
The occasion was the launch of her latest Aerobic Striptease DVD - her mother must be so proud! - but as you can see, Carmen actually kept herself rather covered up for the occasion, in a floorlength, plunging blue satin dress with a wide, waist-clinching belt.
The verdict? Top marks for glamour - slightly fewer marks for feminism. Now, where did I put that pole..?
I know that Big Brother 8 may seem like a dim and distant memory - but Samantha and Amanda Marchant's 15 minutes of fame isn't up yet, folks. No siree!
Because here were the girls being papped by the press on Friday night - when they hit Mahiki nightclub, the Polynesian-themed bar favoured by the likes of Princes William and Harry... and celebs from Big Brother.
While Samantha (or is it Amanda?) looked more 'fashionista' in her blue dress, red belt and white tights, I'm actually preferring the adorable strapless red dress being worn by Amanda (or is it Samantha?). Still, maybe we should just be grateful for the fact that neither of them is wearing pink, eh? Small steps, and all that...
What's black and white and red all over? Answer: Gwen Stefani, usually.
And here she was in her signature look on the streets of London yesterday. Not roaming them aimlessly, you understand - actually going out for a Lebanese meal on Edgware Road with her husband and son.
But enough of such details - let's talk about what Gwen was wearing. Which was: a fab, dogtooth check swing jacket, a cute black mini dress with a white trim - and a fantastic pair of almost welly-like biker boots. Looks like Reese Witherspoon isn't the only one with a penchant for wellingtons.
And if you're loving Gwen's boots as much as I am, then be sure to check out our Biker Boots List - as well as our Gwen Stefani Stylefile - on OSOYOU.com. They're both guaranteed to delight any hollaback (biker) girl.
Yes, the people of Italy can breathe a sigh of relief. Because Lindsay Lohan is back on American soil.
Here she is, landing at LAX yesterday after her jaunt on the isle of Capri. In black, black and more black - although in that hoodie and those snug boots, she was at least dressed perfectly for a long-haul flight. Victoria Beckham, take note - this is how you do it!
Is it just me, or does Bar Rafaeli look like one of those models at a car motorshow? Surely Leonardo Di Caprio's girlfriend is above modelling jobs which involve leaning on a bonnet at the NEC in Birmingham?
Well, of course she is. Because Bar is, in fact, leaning on the bonnet of a car in Spain, which is completely different.
And no, I had no idea Spain was so snowy at the moment, either. Fortunately, though, Bar did know - and so was beautifully and warmly wrapped up in a silver bomber jacket and black trousers. (At one point, she even wore a white hat with ear-flaps and pom-poms - yes, she was that beautifully and warmly wrapped up).
That said, I think I'd go to Spain and lean on the bonnet of a Subaru if the money was right. And it's really not that much money, either. *Sighs*.
Which isn't much of a surprise, because I was a little confused, too.
Until I realised that she was on a film set. Which is normally the explanation in these situations.
Reese was snapped here filming her new movie The Four Christmases (pitch: "A couple struggle to visit all four of their divorced parents on Christmas Day") - and while I wouldn't necessarily advocate copying her 'big film set coat style', I am rather taken by her wellies.
If you are, too, you may like to know that there are a whole host of fabulous patterened wellington boots over on OSOYOU.com - including this gorgeous Woodland Trust pair from Dorothy Perkins. Buy them and not only will you look cosy, chic and ever-so Reese-like - but you'll also be donating money towards the planting of trees. Wear them with pride, ladies!
Looks like our American cousins are into wearing their tracksuits, too.
Kim Kardashian was snapped at Los Angeles airport this week - and just like our very own Coleen McLoughlin, was sporting a black tracksuit. See, I told you Coleen was bringing them back for 2008!
To those of you who don't fall into the Perez Hilton, completely-celebrity-obsessed category: Kim Kardashian is famous for being Paris Hilton's friend, starring in her own reality TV show Keeping Up With The Kardashians and, erm, making a certain type of video. She might be a model, too. (They usually are, aren't they?)
My favourite Kim Kardashian fact, however - and there are sooo many - is that she has four sisters called Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie. And a mother called Kris. Actually, maybe I should take back that comparison with Coleen - she makes the girl look positively classy. Or should that be 'klassy'?
Good news for those of us living in the capital: they've started shooting the new James Bond movie. As you can see from this snap of the not-too-shabby Daniel Craig, on location in central London yesterday.
Yes, apologies for the person in the flourescent jacket there - but hey, that just gives the shot authenticity, doesn't it? I mean, it's like you were there yourself. Ogling Daniel Craig.
Daniel's dapper attire -a long jacket over his suit - may just be enough to grant him that most special of things, namely: a second mention in our Gorgeous Men In Equally Gorgeous Clothes Group on OSOYOU.com. Don't worry, Dan - no need to thank us. Just pop a little something - like, ooh, I dunno, an exploding pen - in the post to OSOYOU Towers. Cheers.
After Tara Reid's bizarre airport style, we've now got Janice Dickinson leaping like a lizard on the streets on Beverly Hills. As you do. When you're The World's First Supermodel and you've been on I'm A Celebrity.
Looking as pencil-slim as always, Janice chose purple jeans, a brown leather jacket, a yellow scarf and sheepskin boots for her Gene Kelly, heel-clicking moment of joy. Which is actually a look which works much better visually than it does written down like that. Trust me. Or indeed, trust yourself: just look to the left.
So just who's phoning Janice and giving her such happy news that she's literally jumping for joy? The editor of News of the World? The makers of Strictly Come Dancing ? Ladies and gents, I fear we'll never know.
Here's the lovely Tara Reid snapped at Perth airport yesterday. At least, I think it's Tara Reid. It could be a teenage boy on his paper round.
But let's say, for the sake of argument, that it is Tara Reid. Tara has flown into Perth for "Magic Millions" - which seems to be some sort of Australian horse-racing event. According to the blurb, Magic Millions "has got the lot some of the hottest women in the world, including our first international celebrity guest Tara Reid, the best location on the stunning Queensland Gold Coast and Australia's top horses and trainers vying for millions of dollars in prize money."
Actually, come to think of it: doesn't Tara look slightly like a jockey? I mean, a jockey with a nice handbag, of course - but a jockey all the same. Bless her and her little (no doubt technicolour) cotton socks.
Nice to see Christina Aguilera covered up this week. And I say that not because I believe pregnant women should go around in sacks, but because, being in the States at the moment, I have been subjected to her, erm, "amazing" photo shoot for the American edition of Marie Claire magazine.
Yes, back home, you might have been looking at the lovely Nicole Kidman talking about how "the first year of marriage is the hardest". Over here, we've been looking at Christina doing a Demi. Several times over. In heels. Sprawled on the floor. You name it.
So: back to Ms Aguilera's attire, for which I am most grateful. Nice poncho thingy, nice skinny jeans, nice shoes, nice bag. Unfortunately her pout, sunglasses and hair make her look more than a little Britney-esque - but then, you can't have everything, can you? I mean, if you could, I'd have the UK edition of Marie Claire, for one...
Talk about keen. Katherine Heigl's only just got married, and already she's out buying paint. Slow down, lady! You don't want to give your new husband the idea that, y'know, you're keen on doing DIY and stuff. Honestly!
That said, Katherine did look rather lovely on her shopping trip to Hollywood's equivalent of Homebase (probably). Wearing wide-legged jeans and leopard print ballet shoes, she was also sporting the cutest of purple cardigans and a blue ruffled shirt. Purple and ruffles being two of the key looks this season, natch.
As for that wedding? Well, Katherine and her musician beau Josh Kelley walked down the aisle just before Christmas - and according to OK! magazine, "the 29-year-old beauty looked exquisite in her traditional white Oscar De La Renta gown" which was complemented by her bridesmaids "cranberry red cocktail dresses, also by Oscar De La Renta."
And I think if you look closely, you'll see that that can of paint she's carrying is also in 'Cranberry Red'. Erm, possibly.
Sorry. Thought I was in a panto there for a moment. I got all carried away because Jessie Wallace is currently appearing on the West End stage - unfortunately not in pantomime, however. Although you could be forgiven for thinking so, given her make-up here.
Jessie has, in fact, taken over from Denise Van Outen in Rent - and here she is leaving the Duke of York theatre after a performance just the other night. The beanie, jeans, trainers and leather jacket are, in fact, a pretty nice combination - it's just that scary make-up of hers. I mean: anyone would think she'd just been on stage or something!
I promised them to you, now here they are: my top style disasters from the opening night of Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack!
Poor Scottish boy John suffered the first task of the show - but I was more worried about him catching a wee chill in that kilt! Let's just hope he ignored tradition and wore a nice pair of thermal undies underneath...
Didn't I say watch out for the beauty queen? She must have been frozen in this revealing dress - don't you have a nice cardi, Jade?
It's a glamorous look, but I'm not sure about the leopard print overload - or matching ballet pumps!
This is what it’s all about! It wouldn’t be Big Brother without a bit of spangle. Classical musician Calista has done me proud.
Another one I told you lot to watch out for was fashion designer Jay - and he certainly didn’t let us down.
He rolled up the sleeves of this cream tux jacket and teamed it with black skinny jeans and some unusual looking Doc Marten-style ankle boots. Very smart. Not sure about the black nail varnish though - especially only on one hand! I'm certainly looking forward to seeing the rest of his wardrobe...
Gwen Stefani was seen out and about in London this week dressed for the countryside.
The style icon wore a chunky blue cardigan, brown blazer, riding boots anda tweed flat hat!
Gwen was seen taking a stroll with her son, Kingston James McGregor Rossdale and rocker husband, Gavin Rossdale. Her look for the day was very different from her usual chic self, but she looked stunning, nonetheless.
Does this mean a shift to the countryside for the family? I hope not, I do quite like Gwen’s individualistic style. It would be a shame if she turned into another tweed-wearing American singer with an English husband and manor house.
Nope, it's full-on glamour at all times for the lovely Dita, snapped here picking up a few essentials at Party America. The boudoir beauty wore this lovely dress complete with fishnet tights just in case the party started early.
Even though it's not exactly the outfit I'd choose to wear down my local shopping centre, Dita looked stunning in her black dress with the cutesy bow detail. And bang on-trend too! Check out our Bow List for a few pointers.
And it looks like her New Year bash will be massive too - the burlesque star was spotted in Beverly Hills carrying huge bags of party stuff.
It'll be one year to the day that she announced her divorce from Marilyn Manson tomorrow - could she be planning a do to celebrate? Splitting from Marilyn Manson would definitely give me a good reason to pop open the champers!
Oh dear, it seems the Spice Girls’ ankles are cursed!
After Emma Bunton's little accident before Christmas when she ended up in a cast, Geri has revealed that Mel B took a tumble down the stairs at their New Years Eve party in Claridges.
Talking to fans at their concert this Wednesday, she explained:
“Mel B got so drunk, she fell down a flight of stairs and twisted her ankle, so she won’t be busting the moves tonight.”
Sounds like a time for trusty UGG boots if ever there was one!
I can’t imagine Mel wore them onstage though. I get the feeling it’s fashion over practicality every time for these girls.
Me? You wouldn’t have caught me up there in anything other than my slippers!
Yes, Nicole Kidman may be hiding her supposed baby bump so well that it, erm, doesn't actually exist - but Halle Berry's is loud and proud.
The actress was snapped visiting a friend's house in Hollywood on Wednesday - and clearly is opting for comfort when it comes to pregnancy wear. Just last week she was in a wrap dress and sandals - and now she's out in sweats, trainers and a baseball cap. Don't tell me she's going down the gym to lose her baby fat already?!
Yup - think we can safely say that Nicole Kidman is not sporting a baby bump.
Because, as you can see, the pale and interesting Nicole was wearing a very pale, interesting and above all clingy frock when she popped out in the Sydney sunshine with husband Keith Urban yesterday. And put it this way: she doesn't appear to have eaten many pies lately.
Still, that probably won't spot the Daily Mail - which said last week that Nicole was pregnant - spouting on about her "billowing" dresses while she's in Australia. Well, there's nothing like pictorial evidence to get in the way of a good story, is there?
Yes, it was all go for Paris the other night in Bel Air. She and her current squeeze Alex Vaggo picked up some groceries, got a coffee at Starbucks, and then went to the video store. Rock and roll!
And while the rest of us might do all of the above in jeans and a sweatshirt, Paris, of course, did it in a black and white babydoll dress, black ribbed tights, black stilettos and an ultra-glamorous, ultra-cute winter white coat. And, ladies and gentlemen, that's why she's a star. And we're not. Erm, probably.
Check it out: this is Scarlett Johansson's 'fashionable but serious' outfit.
Yep, Scarlett got all political on us yesterday when she turned up at Barack Obama's campaign rally to show her support for the US Junior Senator.
Wearing a rather frumpy (but kinda on-trend) grey jumper dress and chunky knit slouchy hat combo with black knee high black boots and grey opaque tights, Scarlett gave a speech before posing with some kids. And I think that's about it.
I know you're expected to dress conservatively for these political thingies, but come on Scarlett, I'm sure you could have worn something a little more inspired!
If you thought Celebrity Big Brother died a horrible death last year with 'Jadegate', think again.
Oh yes sirree, it's back on C4 tonight - and this year, there's a 'shocking' new twist that should make things mildly more interesting for ooh, at least the first five minutes after Davina stops shouting.
Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack will feature seven boy- and five girl housemates (which is fab, as I much prefer to watch half-naked men dressing rather than girls pouting in the mirror), all of whom are wannabes with various 'talents'.
Mais ou sont les celebrities, I hear you ask? Well, this time the stars will be outside the house, acting as Big Brother by choosing the tasks and working in the Diary Room. Those rumoured to be taking part include Matt Lucas, Ian Wright, Jimmy Carr and Joan Rivers.
Could this be because they couldn't actually get anyone to go into the house this year? Surely not...
Tune in tonight for my favourite part of the show: gazing mouth agape at the awful clothes contestants wear to enter the house.
My money's on a fair amount of flesh being flashed, and I for one will be glued to my sofa to find out what contestants like fashion designer Jay Wilson and beauty queen Jade Eden (both left, no prizes for guessing who's who) will be donning for their big night.
Make sure you log on tomorrow for our pick of the best (ie. worst) outfits of the night!
The usual suspects were out in force for Sienna Miller's birthday celebrations at The Clifton pub in North London. Rhys Ifans (natch), Keira Knightley, Davinia Taylor (on the left here), and, yes, celebrity-watchers: Kate Moss. Looks like that hatchet has been well and truly buried, then, doesn't it? For now, at least. You know how these celebs are.
Still, back to Kate - and her outfit for the night. Which, unsurprisingly, wasn't too different from her outfit last week, and the week before that, and the week before that. Namely: black, black and more black, partly in the form of a tuxedo jacket. Well, if it ain't broke, why fix it, eh, Kate?
Sorry, think I'm still in 'Christmas cracker' mode in the jokes department.
Anyhoo, Kate Middleton certainly does seem to think white's her colour. Snapped returning from a Christmas trip to Barbados (wonder if she bumped into Simon Cowell?), Kate wore this spring/ summer off-white version of her purer-than-the-driven-snow winter coat, teamed with a pair of white jeans.
Not the best outfit I've seen all year (hey, two days is a lifetime in the fashion world), but certainly tons better than the hideously old-fashioned numbers we're used to seeing her wear.
Let's hope this is a new fashion leaf for the Middleton - after all if the engagement rumours are true, she's only got a limited amount of time left to wear anything other than tweed, surely?
Sienna Miller celebrated her birthday this week. At least, I think it was this week. It could have been in the '60s, judging by Sienna's outfit.
The birthday girl, as you can see, did her best Edie Sedgwick impression (although, hang on - that could have been when she was in Factory Girl) for her big night out. She teamed a grey baker boy cap with a leopard print coat, black and red patterned top, black leggings and gold boots for the occasion.
You can get a cute hat like Sienna's here - and let's face it, in this chilly weather, everyone needs one. Especially baker boys. And as for her other birthday guests? Well, watch this space to find out who else was there - and more importantly (yes, even more than what gifts they got Sienna), what they wore...
OK, OK, so I'm not absolutely sure either way. But it looks like Jess is similarly confused - just check out her outfit.
Snapped out and about in Beverly Hills yesterday, the OSO pregnant star was all kitted out for a litlle girl in this all-pink tracksuit - but then mixed it up with a baby blue cap and matching Chanel bag. Could this mean twins? Or just one very confused mum-to-be?
While successfully managing to hide her bump with a v.unglamorous plastic bag, Jess did manage to flash the massive engagement ring she got from fiance and father of her baby, Cash Warren.
But don't expect to see Jessica in a meringue anytime soon - a source has told American gossip rag US magazine that 'She doesn't want to be pregnant in a dress.'
And let's face it - a baby bridesmaid/ page boy would be so much cuter!
...where, according to the rather prudish Daily Mail, she's "kissed three men in 24 hours". Imagine!
Putting Lindsay Lohan's non-movie-related antics to one side, however: she's been in Capri for a film festival, where as you can see, she picked up an award for Woman Most Likely To Kiss Three Men In 24 Hours. Or something.
Actually, to be fair to Lindsay, it was an award for her acting. And she did look quite nice in this (very) sparkly black number when she collected it. Nice enough, in fact, to attract three men in 24 hours. However does she do it?
If anyone needed to start off the New Year with a few much-needed style resolutions.
So take a good look at this pic - because it could well be the last time you see Ames in that tired old ballet pumps/ skinny jeans combo.
After all, it's just so 2007, dahling.
And it does look like things are looking up for the Winehouse - after receiving six nominations for the US Grammys, including Record of the Year, Album of the Year and Best New Artist, she's now rumoured to be starting her 2008 comeback with a performance at the awards show on February 10.
Meanwhile, even though Blake's still in jail, a little birdie tells me they're planning to renew their wedding vows behind bars tomorrow.
Well, she'll definitely need a new outfit for that - maybe it's time to embrace some of Spring/ Summer 2008's new trends, Amy?
Congratulations to Kelly Brook for being the subject of our First (Non) Gratuitous Bikini Shot Of The Year.
Yes, the lovely Kelly is on holiday in the Caribbean at the moment - hell, who isn't? - with fiance Billy Zane. And she's been modelling more than one bikini for the occasion - including this fab little candy-stripe number.
Hopefully by the end of her break, she'll be looking a little less pale in it. But in the meantime: well done, Kelly, for a stylish, non-Baywatch beachwear choice. Michael Bolton and Nicollette Sheridan, take note.
The answer to 'What the stars did on New Year's Eve' here clearly being: 'letting their dress fall off them'.
Trust Danielle Lloyd to make Paris Hilton look dignified. While the Hiltons were seeing in the New Year Las Vegas style-ee, Danielle was sadly letting the British side down with her 'gal pals' (copyright: all tabloids) at Embassy nightclub in London.
Or rather: she was letting her dress down. Or her dress was letting her down. Or something. Let's just put this image behind us, shall we, and move swiftly on into the rest of 2008? I think it's for the best.
Yes, Nicky Hilton was in Vegas with her big sister to see in the New Year. And as you can see, she looked like someone who had just spent Christmas in Hawaii. Which is no strange thing, seeing as she, erm, just spent Christmas in Hawaii.
Nicky showed off her newly tanned legs in a cute white nightie - sorry, dress - which she teamed with silver jewellery and shoes. And Las Vegas Ken, who's just in the background there, and who's frankly let himself go somewhat.
Not really. It's Paris Hilton. I know, confusing, isn't it?
The way to tell them apart is that one of them got paid a lot of money to 'host' a party at Pure nightclub in Las Vegas on New Year's Eve, and the other is a blonde plastic doll.
Hang on - maybe that didn't make it quite clear enough.
Here's Paris on the very last night of 2007, seeing in the new year in Sin City. For this grand occasion, she wore a pink sequin dress, accessorised with a silver pendant necklace, a pink Alice band and what looks suspiciously like a pink Chanel bag.
And who was with her? I mean, apart from those two burly blokes? Stay tuned for 'What the stars did on New Year's Eve, No.2'!
Yes, I realise it might be a slow news day, but hey. Some things have happened. A whole new year as begun, for one. And to celebrate such an event (probably), Coleen McLoughlin has gone and got herself a new haircut.
In fact, so hot off the press is this news that this picture shows Coleen actually leaving the hairdresser's - Barbara Daly in Liverpool, in case you're wondering - with said new haircut. And doesn't she look lovely?
As you can see, Coleen is also convinced that velveteen tracksuits are not going out of fashion in 2008. Oh no. So there you have it: fringes and tracksuits (and Chanel handbags) are in this year, ladies. Now, where did I put my scissors...?
Which on any other male would look decidedly terrible. But on David Tennant, well... you know, it just works, doesn't it?
Yes, consider this my New Year's present to you, dear ladies (and gentlemen, if you're so inclined): the gift of David Tennant. At Billie Piper's wedding. Looking as lovely as only David Tennant can. *Sighs*. Sadly the rest of the year can only be downhill from this, can't it?
Yes, Billie Piper saw 2007 out in style - with a New Year's Eve wedding to her beau, actor Laurence Fox. The couple got hitched at a village church in West Sussex - after a pre-drinks reception at Chris Evans's nearby pub - and as you can see, Billie wore an ivory dress. And, more unusually, black stilettos and a long black coat. As did Laurence. The coat part, that is.
Billie's bridesmaids wore short purple dresses with black opaque tights - how very 2008! - and as for the most dashing male guest? Well, I think you can guess who that was (clue: he arrived in a time-travelling machine). Just wait for Part Two to find out what he wore...
Super-über-model Gisele Bündchen is in New York right now. Which is quite a coincidence, because so am I. Fancy!
I have yet to bump into the super-über-Bündchen, however - although if I wanted to, it seems I should be hanging out in the West Village. Because that's where she was snapped on Saturday.
And as you can see, Gisele is favouring the look recently sported by that other famous West Village resident, Sarah Jessica Parker. Namely: grey jeans and biker boots. If you want to copy Gisele and Sarah Jessica's style - and let's face it, if it's been worn by two of the world's most stylish women, then you might possibly want to - then check out our SJP Biker Chic List on OSOYOU.com. It's got everything you want, bar a motorbike.
Alesha, Alesha, Alesha: it's one thing to take on the ballroom dancing world. It's quite another to take on its fashion sense.
Yes, it seems that the lovely Alesha Dixon has taken this whole Strictly Come Dancing thing just a little too seriously. I'm not sure there's any other explanation for the dress she wore to her celebration party at Kenza on Saturday. Ouch.
Still: onto far more exciting matters. And when I say 'exciting', I mean, of course, gossipy. Because Alesha's fellow Strictly finalist Matt di Angelo was also in attendance at her party - and yesterday's People newspaper was full of an interview by his dance partner Flavia's former boyfriend (keep up there at the back), Vincent Simone.
Not too surprisingly, Vincent is not a happy bunny at all about Flavia's romance with Matt - yes, it seems he chose her over Alesha - telling the paper: "He has stolen the only woman I've ever loved... She's the love of my life and I thought we'd be together forever and get married but now I don't know what's going on... I told her I couldn't cope with doing the tour if I had to see them together. The thought just tears me apart inside." Bless!
And that's not all - Vincent also has an axe to grind about Tess Daly. But then, don't we all? "I'm really p***ed off with Tess for stirring up their relationship," he tells People. You tell 'em, Vince! The people of Britain are behind you every cha-cha-cha step of the way.
Paris Hilton and sister Nicky joined a gaggle of celebs at the opening of new LA club, Goa.
Paris sported a brown bodycon dress with beading along the body and around the hem (no doubt to show off the beach body she perfected for Christmas day) She teamed the dress with a quilted chain handbag, an oversized bracelet and ring, and not alot else. Jealous anyone?
Still, she may have the money and the figure, but I get to polish off the last of the festive mince pies. And you can't have everything.......
Nicole and husband Keith Urban have announced that 18 months after their wedding, they are expecting their first child.
According to the Daily Mail, the couple broke the news to their excited families over Christmas. Well, that's a present that beats another pair of socks anyway!
The baby will be the Nicoles first natural child, a sibling to Isabella and Connor whom she adopted with first husband Tom Cruise. And Nicole is already excited about the prospect of motherhood, saying she's starting to wind down her filming commitments next year to spend time with her family.
This is bad news as it means no more glamourous red carpet dresses from Nicole. The good news? She won't fit into thatscary silver suit any more. And we get to see her dress a brand new baby bump instead! Every cloud...
**Update, December 31**: Nicole's people have denied the story. Doh! "It is incorrect," her spokeswoman tells the Melbourne Herald Sun. "She must have had about 30 babies by now... It's the silly season. As far as we're concerned, it's another rumour out of London." That said, an "unnamed source" says that Nicole "did have a small baby bump a month ago, so it would be reasonable that she'd now be three months and telling her friends and family." Confused? So are we. Still, nothing new there.
...Thankfully for her services to music, not fashion. It seems that the Queen, too, watched the final of The X Factor (see left).
Although, hang on a minute - music? Has Liz heard 'Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi'?
Well, whatever the (loco)motivation, Kylie is indeed to receive an OBE in the Queen's new year's honours list - and the singer says she's "deeply touched" by it.
"I am almost as surprised as I am honoured to be awarded an OBE by Her Majesty The Queen," says Kylie's statement. "I feel deeply touched to be acknowledged by the UK, my adopted home, in this way. This last year I have felt so much love and support from everyone as I took greater steps back into the public domain, and it is with absolute gratitude and joy that I say farewell to 2007 and look forward to what the New Year will bring."
*Dabs eye with hankie.*
Aww, bless. Well, congratulations Kylie - we look forward to seeing what you wear for the awards ceremony. Hopefully a tasteful little number which matches Sir Michael Parkinson's.
Yes, if you were wondering what the Olsen twins will look like when they're all grown-up, then look no further than The Fergie-licious One here.
Fergie was snapped in California on Thursday, looking not-at-all-shabby in green jeans, teal boots and a matching scarf. A combination which surely looks better in the flesh than it does written down like that.
She was also sporting a great big rock on her engagement ring finger - a fact which she cleverly enhanced by carrying her handbag Margaret Thatcher-style on her elbow. I don't recommend doing this yourself unless you are a) a little old lady, b) the Queen, or c) trying to show off a great big rock on your engagement finger.
As Fergie falls into the c) category, we'll allow it. Rumour has it she got engaged to her actor boyfriend Josh Duhamel on Christmas Day. And hell, if I'd been proposed to by a Transformers star, then I think I'd want to show it off, too. Especially if it was Optimus Prime.
A very tiny bump, admittedly - but a bump all the same.
Lily, who's pregnant with her first child, had the honour of being The Celebrity To Open This Year's Harrods Sale. The privilege has in the past gone to the likes of Christina Aguilera and Eva Longoria - and given the princely pay packet usually involved (as well as first dibs at sale items, hopefully), it is a privilege indeed.
Our young pop queen looked lovely in a black sequin, low-backed dress which she teamed with black opaque tights and killer chunky silver heels. (And in case you're wondering: yes, that's Mohammed Al Fayed in the background there. How nice of him to co-ordinate with her!)
As any self-respecting fashionista knows, sequins are for life, not just for Christmas - so check out our Trend Alert: Sequins Galore! List on OSOYOU.com if you want to copy Lily's look.
Yes, Lindsay is back in New York - did you miss her, people of Manhattan? - and while the Daily Mail placed her and her Olivia Newton-John trousers out on a date with Devil Wears Prada actor Adrien Grenier (don't worry, I can't remember who he is, either), according to the picture agency, she had a nice night out with her sister and her dad, at a restaurant and then an ice-hockey game.
Knowing Lindsay, she probably actually packed in all of the above. And possibly, in those trousers, a roller-disco, to boot.
Yes, as if the sight of the Hiltons on a beach at Christmas wasn't enough to make your stomach turn - or could that possibly be too much eggnog? - here's Desperate Houswife Nicollette Sheridan and her fiance Michael Bolton soaking up some rays in the Caribbean right now.
I'm resisting any Daily Mail-esque 'Woman Over Age Of 40 Looks Not At All Bad In A Bikini Shocker' headline, but instead, would like to direct you to Nicollette and Michael's matching Baywatch-style beachwear.
I do believe there was a shark just out of shot, and/or a young girl who needed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Thank goodness they happened to be strolling by!
If, like me, you're looking at this picture while trapped inside a small family home in the cold and grey West Midlands, after eating too much yule log, I can only apologise. I realise the last thing any of us need to see right now is two pencil-slim women on a beach in Maui.
Unfortunately, however, as the two women in question are Paris and Nicky Hilton, I'm afraid it's "in the public interest" (or something) that I share this picture with you.
The Hiltons, as I posted yesterday, are spending Christmas not in a tiny family home - I doubt very much that they own one - but in Hawaii. See, I was right about it not being Center Parcs!
And here are the girls on Christmas day: strolling along the beach, taking in the sun, being very rich, etc, etc. Presumably the soup kitchen they've been helping out in is just out of shot.
Alternative title: 'How the stars are spending Christmas, No.4: Jennifer Aniston' (see posts passim).
It feels like ages since we've seen Jen out and about, so it was nice to catch a glimpse of her on Christmas Eve, no less - partaking in a ritual she and her friends have had for the past few years.
That ritual is dinner at Mastro's with BFF Courtney Cox-Arquette. Mastro's is a steakhouse - a very posh steakhouse - in Beverly Hills, and as you can see, Jen opted for an all-black outfit for dinner. Kate Moss would be proud. Especially of those boots.
In previous years, Jennifer has been accompanied by Brad Pitt, and last year Vince Vaughn, on her traditional Christmas Eve outing. This year? She came and left alone. Hallelujah! (And I mean that in a truly non-Christmassy way.)
I used to think that one surefire way of looking younger was to have a fringe cut. Since seeing this latest picture of Halle Berry, however, I'm thinking that there are more drastic steps one can take.
Namely: if you want to knock ten years off your looks, get pregnant.
Out in the LA sunshine in a black wrap dress and sandals, I swear Halle looked about 20. Who knew that pregnancy had such hidden side-effects? I mean, apart from the normal water retention, strange food cravings, and so on.
If Halle carries on like this, she may end up looking the same age as her foetus. Which is more than a little odd thought. Sorry, I've probably had too much eggnog. Again.
Yes, while the rest of us have to endure our families under one tiny roof at Christmas time, not for Paris, the pain of having to sleep on her parent's sofa. Oh no.
Because the Hiltons - being, erm, how shall I put this: loaded - were snapped here at Los Angeles airport on Christmas Eve, jetting off to a "holiday getaway". And I'd put good money on it not being Center Parcs.
As for their travelling style: well, as you can see, Paris is still Little Miss Christmas, younger brother Barron (no, really), appears to be some sort of German exchange student from the 1980s, and mother Kathy Hilton is wearing her slippers. And you thought your family were embarrassing.
Yes, while his wife Victoria was busy impersonating John Travolta at the Telefonica Arena - as one is, when one's a member of the Spice Girls - David Beckham was at his favourite Madrid restaurant Asador Donostiarra.
And as you can see, he was sporting a white shirt, jeans, and what looks suspiciously like a Christmas cardi. Will this garner him a place in our Gorgeous Men In Equally Gorgeous Clothes Group? Sadly not. Not until Val Doonican makes it onto there, too.
...In which Victoria Beckham attempts to recreate two famous movie moments in one.
Namely, both John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever and the woman in the opening credits of Goldfinger.
Or could it be that the Spanish crowd were shouting out, "Where are the toilets, Victoria?" and she was showing them? "Over there on the right, mis amigos!".
One can but wonder. And isn't awe and wonder the point of Christmas? I rest my case.
...In which Geri Halliwell and Victoria Beckham compete for the teeniest tiniest body in the Spice Girls.
As you can see, Victoria has opted to clad hers in futuristic gold - although rather distractingly in this picture, she's placed herself exactly in front of her microphone stand so it looks like someone's doing bunny ears behind her.
Geri's stage outfit, meanwhile, is clearly the fulfillment of a childhood dream, as she appears to be wearing a ballerina dress belonging to an eight-year-old.
Who looks best? Who sounded best? And will that eight-year-old ever see her ballet dress again? I'm afraid I don't know the answer to any of these questions, but then that's the awe and mystery of Christmas, isn't it?
See them all waving there? They're wishing a very merry Christmas to you! No, really!
Well, erm, possibly. They were at least waving a very merry Christmas to the crowd at the Telefonica Arena in Madrid, Spain.
And my Christmas gift to you this year is the banishing of memories of the Spice Girls on Strictly Come Dancing - I'm still shuddering at the thought - by bringing you some lovely new sparkly pictures of them in gold. Surely it doesn't get much more festive than that? I mean, apart from the baby Jesus and turkey and crackers and all that... Apart from that, it doesn't get much more festive than five grown women dressed up in gold. Enjoy... and a very merry Christmas to you all!
Lindsay Lohan proved that Americans do get panto by stepping out in Santa Monica at the weekend dressed as a Principal Boy. In fact, I think she had just slapped her thigh before this picture was taken.
However, as you can see, Lindsay committed a schoolgirl - or should that be boy? - error, by turning around when someone shouted "It's behiiiiind yoooou!".
Doh! These Americans will never get our real traditions, will they?
Yes, I know what you were thinking. But no, it's not Nancy Dell'Olio in welder's goggles (surely every man's dream scenario). It is in fact our very own Katie Price, arriving at Heathrow airport on Saturday.
And if you can't quite put your finger on why Katie looks a little different, allow me to help you. Because it's not just her hair colour, I can tell you.
Yes, according to that font of celebrity tittle-tattle the Daily Mail, "Peter Andre has paid for his wife, more famously known as Jordan, to have a breast reduction in time for the festive period... The assets that helped her amass a £30million fortune were discernably smaller when she arrived at Heathrow yesterday than when she left for Los Angeles last month."
Really? Well, admittedly it's rather difficult to tell what lies beneath that cosy Louis Vuitton shawl Katie's got wrapped round her - although not to those eagle eyes at the Mail, who are convinced that there's been "an unmistakable reduction in her bust size."
And as anyone who knows that famous physics law 'The OK! Principle' can tell you, each unmistakable reduction in bust size leads to an equal and opposite increase in magazine coverage talking about that reduction in bust size. So I'm sure we'll be hearing all about Katie's all-important operation very soon. Joy!
Still finishing off your Christmas shopping? Never fear, so are these ladies! See below for your handy cut-out-and-keep* guide to Last-Minute Celebrity Christmas Shopping Style 2007. Why not collect the set and trade them with pals?
Name: Bar Rafaeli.
Occupation: Being pretty; being Leonard Di Caprio's girlfriend.
Spotted Christmas shopping yesterday at: Third Street Promenade, Santa Monica. Think 'Oxford Street with palm trees'.
Christmas shopping outfit: White T-shirt, grey hoody, black cropped leggings, ballet pumps.
Christmas shopping accessories: Head band; tramp. Sorry: boyfriend.
Overall Christmas shopping style: Ballet student out on the town with a tramp. Sorry: boyfriend.
Likely to be Christmas shopping for: Clothes for tramp. Sorry: boyfriend.
It was the Strictly Come Dancing live final last night, and the results are in: Alesha Dixon is the winner!
Just as the bookies had predicted, Alesha swept to victory over EastEnder Matt di Angelo: but i'm sure Matt didn't mind losing too much, as it was revealed last night he and Alesha have been secretly dating. The pair have been spotted on several dates in recent weeks and it seems romance is blosoming.
However, insiders on the hit show have also said that the Matt and his dancing partner Flavia have become 'inseparable'. The chemistry between the two is said to have been one of the reasons for Flavia's split with her boyfriend.
Scandal! Not content with one gorgeous woman on his arm, it seems Matt is opting for two! Still, now she's beaten Flavia to the trophy, at least Alesha has one of the prizes on offer in this series of the show...
Kate Beckinsale and husband Len Wiseman enjoyed an afternoon out with their daughter and her friend, as they headed to see The Nutcracker at UCLA in Westwood, California.
Kate wore black shorts and a matching black blazer. She teamed this with a crisp white shirt and knee high black boots. Kate accessorised the outfit with a skinny checked scarf and an oversized turquoise tote that added a flash of colour.
Looks like Ms Beckinsale can't go wrong: A perfect way to spend a holiday afternoon with her family, and the perfect outfit to wear for the occassion!
Cat Deeley had dinner in Nobu, London, last night and dressed up for the occasion.
The usually very polished Ms Deeley looked particularly stunning in this knee length black dress with studding details around the neck and hem lines. She teamed this with opaque black tights, and black pointed toed shoes. Cat chose to accessorise with an oversized gold necklace,a tiny gold clutch, and a mane of glossy golden hair.
Maybe, in Cat Deeleys case, all that glitters really is gold......
OK, so he doesn't make it onto the gorgeous men in equally gorgeous clothes list, because he isn't very gorgeous. But you have to give Rhys Ifans credit for his great dress sense!
Rhys took Sienna's beloved pooches out for a walk yesterday sporting slouchy jeans and a short length double breasted trench coat. He teamed this with brown leather shoes and a jaunty brown trilby. And if this is how he dresses to walk the dogs, imagine how great he must look for a night on the town!
Maybe Sienna is a luckier lady than I thought.......

Name: Jessica Simpson.
Occupation: Singer, actress, older sister, Britney Spears Replacement For A While.
Spotted Christmas shopping yesterday at: Posh shops in Dallas, Texas. Her new boyfriend plays for the local football team, or something.
Christmas shopping outfit: High-heeled brown boots, black leggings, picnic blanket.
When she next hit the shops Lindsay was sporting an equally short black jumper dress, but she had chosen to team this with thick black leggings rather than not-quite-opaque tights.The overall look is far more sleek and sophisticated: I almost want that dress for myself in fact!
See? Not only do we provide daily celebrity gossip for you, we also provide invaluable style advice to the stars........
So she disregarded the fur and the naked options and instead chose to wear an unusual red smock dress with pocket and button details, and a navy blue bakerboy hat.
Eva was posing at the launch of PETA's new Christmas advertising campaign titled, 'Fur? I'd Rather Go Naked' in LA yesterday. And it's difficult to know whether to look at Eva or the poster, as she looks her usual gorgeous self in both. (not that i'm jealous!)
All I know is that if I had a body as amazing as hers, i'd always go naked....Fur or no fur!
Finishing off your Christmas shopping this weekend? Never fear, so are these ladies! See below for your handy cut-out-and-keep* guide to Last-Minute Celebrity Christmas Shopping Style 2007. Why not collect the set and trade them with pals?
Name: Paris Hilton.
Occupation: Anyone..?
Spotted Christmas shopping yesterday at: The Beverly Center, Los Angeles. Rather like an American Arndale Centre.
Christmas shopping outfit: Baggy blue jeans, blue hoody, slogan T-shirt.
Sienna Miller was out and about with boyfriend Rhys Ifans last night, and very cosy they looked too.
Sienna and Rhys were sporting complimentary outfits even the Beckhams would be proud of. Each in jeans, Sienna teamed hers with UGG boots, a long length knitted cardigan in black white and grey, and a black vest. She accessorised with a black snake print bag. Rhys opted for a black and white chess board print v neck sweater with a black jacket.
They have to be the coolest inadvertantly matching couple I have ever seen.......

Name: Jennifer Lopez.
Occupation: Singer, actress, carrier of twins.
Spotted Christmas shopping yesterday at: Barneys in New York. Think: a posh Debenhams.
Or at least, Edith Bowman sparkled, and a pregnant Sara Cox looked very comfortable indeed!
Edith sported a blue and black sequinned dress with sweetheart neckline and waisted ribbon detail. She teamed this with opaque black tights and low heeled black patent pumps. Sara opted for skinny jeans tucked into brown UGG boots and worn with a cowl neck sweater and fitted blazer. Both girls went au naturelle with minimal jewellery and make up.
This years Radio 1 Christmas party was a star-studded affair with music by KT Tunstall, The Hoosiers, Kate Nash, and Hard-Fi lead singer Richard Archer. Paul OGrady and a bevvy of Hollyoaks beauties turned up to enjoy the show which was held at BBC's Maida Vale studios: I suppose that's like the celeb version of an office Christmas party then. I wonder who brought the cheese sticks and the box of wine?.......

Name: Katie Holmes.
Occupation: Wife of Tom Cruise.
Spotted Christmas shopping yesterday at: Maxfield in Beverly Hills. A store which, according to its owner "forces people to cleanse their mind, and allows them to do major damage to their credit cards".
Christmas shopping outfit: White turtle neck, navy skirt, red stilettos.
Christmas shopping accessories: Sunglasses, necklace, Birkin handbag, Suri Cruise (out of shot).
Overall Christmas shopping style: School headmistress meets giraffe in sunglasses.
Likely to be Christmas shopping for: Stack heels for husband.
According to the Daily Mail, her guests didn't start arriving til 10pm (imagine!) and some, like Sienna Miller and Rhys Ifans, didn't leave 'til 4.30am (imagine! Again!).
And look who was spotted leaving the house very much in the daylight yesterday - a not-at-all fresh-faced Kate Moss and her boyfriend Jamie Hince. Kate, as you can see, was wearing her leopard print jacket from the day before, a hoody, slouchy (ish) trousers and her trusty Minnetonka boots. And she was clutching a blanket.
Now, some people - over at the Daily Mail, say - might look at this picture and note the timings above, and suggest that Davinia Taylor and her pals are all wild, raucous booze hounds who "party into the wee small hours".
I, however, like to think that they arrive late, put on their jim jams, do each other's hair and make-up (yes even Shane McGowan), tell stories, make popcorn, watch Pretty Woman (and Dirty Dancing if they feel like staying up really late), go to bed in their sleeping bags and then, like Kate here, leave the next morning after a yummy bowl of Cheerios. Is that really too much to imagine?
Didn't think there was a specific 'look' for "My 16-year-old sister is pregnant?" Guess again!
According to Britney Spears, the thing to wear when this kind of news breaks is a long red sweater dress and a tartan hat, teamed this outfit with an oversized patent black bag and a string of white beads. Or at least, thats the only reason I can think of for Britney wearing this same outfit for the past 2 days in a row.
The good news on the Jamie Lynn front is that her 18 year old boyfriend doesn't face prosecution for impregnating her, as he is just under 2 years her senior. The bad news is that the young couple are no longer together, and Jamie has asked her mother to be in the delivery room with her, rather than the babies father.
The really bad news? That we don't know how long is will be before Britney changes those clothes!
Simon Cowell jetted off (see what I did there?) to Barbados for a relaxing Christmas break with girlfriend Terri Seymour. They're been spotted jet skiing and indulging in candle light dinners. But are they really enjoying their romantic break alone?
Simon and the bosses at Sony BMG gave last years X Factor winner Leona Lewis an all expenses paid trip to the Carribean as a Christmas gift for her and her boyfriend. Which is more than a little cosy!
My guess is that it won't be long before we see four celebrity jet skis tearing up the (very warm) water......... I only wonder if that's what Terri had in mind when Simon promised her a romantic trip away for Christmas.

It's a common enough scenerio: you've got a hot date, you want to look your best, and you haven't had enough time to get ready. Solution? Finish getting dressed in the car of course! Or at least, that's the solution Amy Winehouse went for yesterday afternoon.
Of course, most of us don't date at Her Majesties Pleasure and the paparazzi aren't taking photo's of our every move, but you get the idea: really, Miss Winehouse is just like us!
Amy was on route to visit husband Blake Fielder-Civil in jail last night looking a little bit worse for wear. Still, its nice to think that she still likes to get dressed up, just for him. All together now, awww!

Not only is Kate Moss obsessed with her favourite boots (you know the ones!) it seems she has a new obsession: fur coats.
Only yesterday we showed you Kate partying in a black fur, and today she's opted for a leopard print one. Kate popped to Alfie's Antique Market in London with new beau Jamie Hince (are they ever apart?) no doubt looking for some last minute Christmas bargains.
Ms Moss teamed her coat with a simple black polo neck, dark skinny jeans and heeled black boots, and very lovely she looked too. No wonder Jamie can't bear to leave her side, eh?
The costume team on the set of BBC 3's Christmas nativity special have pulled out all the stops for Jennifer Ellison.
Jennifer is playing (yup, you guessed it) the Angel of the Lord, and for this pivotal role she sported a silver catsuit, silver jacket and metallic silver boots.
Doesn't she look like Kerry Katona? Uncanny isn't it?
She accessorised with feathered wings, silver leather gloves and erm, a dressing gown as a belt. I'm guessing either it's cold up in Liverpool this time of the year, or Jen is trying to start a new trend.
I hope, for her sake it's the first, because I can't see that look ever taking off........
Kate Moss has obviously buried the hatchet with previous arch-enemy Sienna Miller: she attended her Christmas party.
Kate and boyfriend Jamie Hince turned up at Sienna's house at 1.30 am bearing gifts and no doubt joining in with the carol singing you could apparently hear from the end of the road: I hope Sienna has understanding neighbours!
Kate wore those pesky black boots again (honestly, I'm sick of looking at them) and she teamed them with a long-sleeved silver dress and a lovely fluffy fur coat. She accessorised with a black distressed leather oversized clutch and matching skinny belt.
Sienna would've really had to wear something special to out-do Ms Moss: Kate was no doubt the star of the show, as always!
Sorry, got lost for a moment there. There's just something about Will Smith in a well-tailored dark grey suit shouting something random at crowds while at the premiere of his latest film I Am Legend that does it for me every time...
Style-wise, Will/ Will's clever stylist really pulled it out of the bag last night, combining the afore-mentioned suit with a light grey shirt with a matching silver tie.
I'm sure he/ they intended to be on trend with metallics, too.
Emily Blunt and Michael Bublé arrived back in Vancouver last night with a hefty pile of luggage, ready for Christmas.
The happy couple were dressed down in casual jeans and trainers teamed with warm coats (and, in Michael's case, a hat) for their flight.
It always makes me just that little bit warm and fuzzy inside to see celebs dress like normal people from time to time - maybe certain other stars should consider doing that more often...?
Well, OK, maybe she doesn't actually look that cheery in this pic - but that's the little scenario I like to play in my head.
And I do have it on good authority that she was seen with a gift package for someone and patted a dog on the head as she entered a building on that very day. How much more cheer do you want?
For her to dress up in a Santa outfit, you say? Well, Jen might not have done it - but I know a celeb who has...
It's hardly surprising that the week before Christmas, the Posh One is doing what she does best: shopping!
Victoria Beckham hit the shops sporting a short black dress teamed with studded Louboutin stillettos and her obligatory oversized shades.
I hope Victoria is buying something special for David's Christmas stocking: he's apparently bought her a $1,500 limited edition signed Valentino fashion book called "Valentino Garavani: first name in fashion" to put in hers. It's one of just 2,000 copies that exist worldwide, dontcha know.
Which kind of puts my 'one satsuma, some new socks and a Beano album' stocking fillers in the shade...
Looks like Katie Holmes will be on Santa's naughty list this year: she's stolen his coat!
Katie was out and about with husband Tom Cruise yesterday (as always) sporting a long red double breasted satin coat teamed with white wide legged trousers and a white polo neck sweater.
She might just make it back on the nice list though, if Santa reads this and discovers that Katie is helping raise Connor and Isabella, Tom's two adopted children with Nicole Kidman.
Nicole may not be too impressed though - Katie scores major points by telling Parade magazine that the kids call her "mom" - Nic already told GMTV last month that her children call her "Nicole" and that she hates it! Oops.
Still, you can't really blame the kids. It must be every child's dream to have Santa for a mum at Christmas time. Even if she does lack that all-essential white beard...
Wow, we were all rather stunned when Jamie Lynn Spears revealed she was pregnant with her boyfriend Casey Aldridge's baby on the cover of US OK! mag yesterday.
I know you lot are dying to know more - so you'll be pleased to know I've done a little digging to bring you the latest update in the Spears’ saga.
On the changes in her body, she told OK!:
"I think it's something that you just know how to do. As your body changes and all these things happen, I think it becomes natural to know what to do. I will have to be strong and do what's right. I'm sure it'll get hard at times. I'm sure I'll be grumpy. I have to remember in the end that I have to stand up and be strong.
I'm not showing, but some days I'm like: 'Wow, I feel like I'm showing today,' and Mom says: 'No you're not. Be quiet.' It's great to have her there. She is really supportive of me."
But maybe Lynne Spears won't be quite so supportive when she find out that the book she was due to release on ‘raising high-profile children while coming from a low-profile Louisiana community’ (catchy) has been postponed in the light of Jamie Lynn's news...
Meanwhile, in the elder Spears camp, Britney appears to be in denial of her sister's pregnancy. How do I know this? Apparently she's been shouting at photographers ‘My sister’s not pregnant!’.
Ashlee Simpson's changed a lot over the past year (remember that nose?), but I have to admit, it's all been for the better.
As her video for new single, Outta My Head, proves. It's a bit odd at times (a giant Rubik's cube? Really?), but the little fashionista has hit the nail on the head with her style.
Here are some of Ashlee’s key style moments:
I love the cute borrowers size top hat she's wearing; black, feather and ribbons, very on trend Ashlee.
Now ladies, time to take note, Ash’s hair is dark brown and layered in this first shot...
And blonde and tousled here! Plus, Ash is bang on trend with those red Doc Martens and a black and white striped top too. Click here to check out our red accessories list for more ways to work red.
Next comes this gorgeous shot of her face with yet another different look. I love her eye make-up. In fact, I've tried and tried again to get this look and every time it results in eye liner in the eye, make-up streaming down the face and having to wipe it off and starting again. :-(
And finally, I can’t finish without a mention of these stunning gold shoes. There's only one word (OK, three words) that spring to mind – I want those!
And now I can have them. Well similar anyway. Look at these beauties from Office - and click here to buy them now! They're on sale, so hurry!
Not only that - young Ms Spears announced her big news in an exclusive cover deal with US OK! magazine.
Jamie Lynn said the discovery left her and 19-year old boyfriend, Casey Aldridge, reeling:
“It was a shock for both of us, so unexpected. I was in complete and total shock and so was he.” ( so she was in shock then, but she still had chance to get on the front cover of OK! this week).
Meanwhile, in another Spears household...
Britney is rumoured to be getting married for the third time - to her close friend Sam Lufti.
What a Christmas for the Spears!
Maybe that's why Britney's been snapped here (in an uncharacteristically cute red jumper dress and tartan hat) out shopping at Lisa Kline? Good thinking, Brit - a few presents always softens the blow...
Christmas at the Hiltons...*sigh*. How good would that be?
Alas, I'm just going to have to settle for staying at Paris and Nicky as they go about their daily lives - you know, shopping for designer clothes, meeting their model boyfriends, going out to expensive restaurants.
And last night was no different - both Paris and Nicky met up with their brother Barron (I know) for dinner at Katsuya in Hollywood, and of course, they dressed up for the occasion.
Paris teamed a tartan mini dress with a white long sleeved top and purple tights which matched the dress perfectly. She teamed with tonal patent shoes and a cute black bag with bow detail.
Nicky opted for a more casual look, teaming a black skirt, top and opaques with a leather jacket and these gorgeous white-toes heels. I like.
The two girls have quite different styles, but they both looked great. Enough fashion fodder to keepme happy for the rest for the day, anyway.
.....but obviously, i'm more interested in her clothes!
Milla and fiance Paul W. S. Anderson step out with new daughter Ever Gabo J. Anderson (which is quite a mouthful!) to do some clothes shopping at Bonpoint in LA.
Mila teamed a purple cotton sun dress with an over-sized navy blue blazer which has an unusual purple detail on the shoulder that I really like. She accessorized with leggings, a simple cross necklace, and a navy blue shoulder bag filled with brand new baby toys. All together now, awwww!
If you want an oversized bag to fill with toys, paperwork or (my personal favourite) make up then check out our supersize my bag list now.

It was the preview screening of the Doctor Who Christmas special at the London Science Museum last night, and David Tennant arrived looking rather handsome. But where was Kylie Monogue?
Kylie, who co-stars with David in this one-off Christmas special was notably absent at the preview of the show, which was attended by a host of celebs and their excited children.
Oh well, at least David was there in a fetching checked suit and black shirt and tie combo. And he brought the Tardis with him too! Hmmm, maybe he should've just popped back in time and fetched Kylie? I'm a particular fan of her poodle perm look, circa 1986. Just a thought.......

In a shock twist to the saga that is the Amy Winehouse/Blake Fielder Civil partnership, Amy was arrested as part of an investigation into perverting the course of justice yesterday. Poor Amy.....I've heard of standing by your man, but I didn't realise that meant standing by him in the dock too!
"A 24-year-old woman has been bailed to return to an east London police station on a date in early March pending further inquiries," a Scotland Yard spokeswoman said on Tuesday. Oh dear!
Does this mean we’ll be seeing a lot more of the new demure pencil skirt and twin set look we've seen Amy sporting recently? After all, a girls got to wear something to court……

Kate Moss was out and about with boyfriend Jamie Hince in those boots again last night. But, for once, the boots don’t matter, because all I care about is this super sparkly cardigan!
Kate teamed black boots with black skinny jeans, a stripy black vest and a long sleeved gold sequined cardigan. It was the perfect way to add a touch of glamour to a not-very-exciting outfit and, as always, Kate looked great!
Although we can't all be Kate Moss (although if you're listening Santa, that would be nice) we can all dress like her! Check out the Kate Moss Christmas list for inspiration.

Yep, that Royal marriage could only be a Barber jacket and tweed skirt away now, as she's believed to have been secretly using Clarence House, Will’s official residence, as her city pad for the past two months. Nice.
According to The Sun, household sources say:
“Since getting back together in the summer their relationship has matured and they are now on far more of an equal footing. Kate left her job in October and since then has spent the bulk of her time with William in Clarence House when he is in town.”
I, for one, can't wait for a Royal wedding. Not because I'm a Royalist, oooh no. It's all about the dress!
My money's on a lacy meringue - how about you?

Cat Deeley doesn’t look like she needs anything from ol' Saint Nick this year. Check out the bubbly presenter strutting her stuff through the streets of London, looking OSO super stylish.
I can’t find anything that I don’t love about this outfit. The boots are bootylicious, the dress is so pretty in pink and the jacket most definitely doesn’t bomb. Cat’s tied it all together terrifically with a brilliant bag and one of this season’s must-haves, a super chunky scarf.
Right, I’m off to write my letter to Santa ‘cause I know exactly what I want for Christmas now - I want to look just like Cat Deeley please!

Forget bubble hems and biker boots - seems like the biggest trend to hit Celebville this year is baby bumps!
Yep, Lily Allen is rumoured to be pregnant with her first child, making her the latest in a long line of expecting celebs, including Nicole Richie, Christina Aguilera, Halle Berry, Jessica Alba and (worryingly) Britney's 16 year old sister Jamie Lynn.
Despite only going out with boyfriend Ed Simon from the Chemical Brothers since September, the couple are said to be thrilled by the news.
And is that possibly an engagement ring on your finger, Lil? Blimey, Christmas really has come early for you this year!

It's been months in the making - and Coleen McLoughlin's still nowhere near finishing plans for her marriage to Wayne Rooney next June.
Having only seen a handful of venues across England and Europe, Coleen's going all out to make sure she gets everything right for the Big Day. Can you imagine the wedding dress preparations?
Wayne and Coleen spoke to Hello! magazine about the ceremony, and revealed that it would be a true family affair. Wayne said:
"We've chosen our bridesmaids but we aren't going to have any pages as we don't really have any young lads in our families – they are all a bit older and I think it looks a bit stupid to have grown lads all dressed up."
Too right, Wayne! And goodness knows, footballers' weddings are usually anything but stupid...
I think I've seen those heels before, Fearne Cotton!
Showing up at The X Factor wrap party last night, Fearne showed off her usual quirky but cool style with this monochrome dress/ leopard print tights/ baby blue shoes ensemble.
I'm loving her outfit, but I've definitely seen those shoes before - click here to find out where.
It's good to see a celebrity wearing their clothes for more than one night - I can't see Ms Paris Hilton doing that in a hurry.
Let's hope winner Leon doesn't let himself become affected by fame and fortune - although something tells me I won't be worrying about that for longer than, ooh, 15 minutes?
The new Spice Girls documentary, Giving You Everything, is officially out, and the papers are full of juicy stories like Victoria blaming Mel B for Geri leaving the band, and Mel C blaming Geri for Geri leaving the band, and blah, blah, blah.
But may I draw your attention to what must be the most shocking revelation of all - their terrible Nineties style!
If ever there were an advert for what money can do for you, this must surely be it.
I mean, take a look at these before and after shots - I couldn’t help but giggle.
Emma Bunton really was Baby Spice, huh? She's certainly grown up a lot, lost that scraggly fringe and the lolly pops (I hope).
Oh dear, Geri Halliwell still has that same gormless expression, but I definitely prefer her eye make-up now. Much better than the 'smudged and smeared' look.
Victoria Beckham has dropped her 'Wednesday from the Addams Family' style for a well-preened tanned/ Tango'd look.
And it looks like Mel B has cheered up a little. Remember all that attitude? Now she's lost the bouncy 'fro for a sleeker style.
And last, but certainly not least, Mel C. First of all, let me congratulate you on getting rid of those hideous blonde streaks. Secondly, considering you keep telling the papers you didn’t want to do a reunion tour, you still seem to be having a pretty darn good time!
Which Spice Girl do you think looks the most improved, seven years on? Take a vote below.
Christmas is a time for family, but Brad Pitt's mum Jane has reportedly taken the festive spirit a little bit far by inviting her son's ex Jennifer Aniston to spend the holidays with them.
Jen and Jane are said to have remained close friends after the couple split up, and Jane wants her former daughter-in-law to come to their Springfield home in Missouri for the festive season.
What would you give to have been a fly on the wall when Brad broke the news to Ange, eh?
A source said: "Angelina was livid when Brad told her and she let him have it, screaming that she thinks Jen spending the season with his parents is totally inappropriate.
"She's made it clear she won't be anywhere near Jennifer. So if Jen shows up in Springfield for Christmas, Angelina sure won't!"
So, best buddies then? Oh, I wonder what Jen will wear if she does go...Something revealing to really rock the boat or maybe she should head down the more mature route and wear a modest yet still sexy polo neck. I know what I would go for...
Yes, the rumours are true: Katie Holmes has been snapped shopping in Los Angeles taking an early morning shopping trip with - wait for it - no make-up on!
I know, I'm shocked too. But forget the lack of make-up - check out Katie's festive red skinnies!
Teaming them with a classic black polo neck sweater and a long sleeveless black cardi, Katie's certainly made an effort to keep the style stakes high.
Stars are loving the black and red festive trend at the moment - first Lindsay Lohan yesterday, now Kate Moss and Katie today.
If you want to add a some Christmassy red to your wardrobe, head on over to our Red Accessories List on OSOYOU.com for some buying inspiration.
After all, it's Christmas - you might as well buy yourself a wee pressie.
Birthdays, eh? Time to take stock on the past 12 months, work out what you've learnt and what you'll do differently this year.
Which is presumably why glamour model and ex-Miss England Danielle Lloyd chose to think outside the box and go for a pimps and prostitutes party for her 24th this year.
Snapped outside the party venue, Faces nightclub in Essex, Danielle's certainly gone all out with her 'costume' - a revealing basque and tutu combo. Boyfriend Jermaine Defoe joined in the 'fun' too, donning this shiny purple pimp suit for the evening. Hilarious.
I could tell you who else turned up at the borthday bash - but if I just mention the name Nikki Grahame, you can probably guess the rest, right?
Maybe Danielle should check out Kate Walsh's style for some well-needed tips on sophistication.
I mean, can you see her walking down the road in black satin underwear? Nope, me neither.
Another colour tipped for the top next season is bright yellow - why not add a bit to brighten your outfits up a bit next time, Linds?
To avoid the colour duldrums this Christmas, head on over to our Yellow Trend List for some items available to buy online now in the sensational shade.
If ever a dress said 'Christmas' and 'party' (it only happens while you're asleep), it would be Kate Walsh's sparkly LBD.
Just how stunning does she look here? In Spain to promote her new show, Grey's Anatomy spin-off Private Practice, I reckon Kate can do no wrong in this gorgeous dress.
Perfect for any Christmas occasion, it ticks all the right boxes, being stylish, sophisticated and tons of glittering fun.
Kate clearly thinks so too - she looks pleased as Christmas punch!
Yet another celeb to take tips from Lindsay Lohan's festive colours too, check out her suitably seasonal red nails. Nice touch.

Off with the over-the-knee boots, back with the tuxedo jacket!
Kate Moss discarded her footwear of the moment yesterday for another old fave yesterday evening when she left her house with boyfriend Jamie Hince, packs of duty free cigarettes, two cans of coke and a vinyl copy of Cat Stevens’ rare album The View from the Top.
Not exactly my idea of a great night, but of course, Kate still managed to look good.
Even leaving her skinnies at home, Kate went for a completely different look with this long black wrap skirt, peep-toe wedges and opaque tights - a must if you’re wearing a skirt with a huge slit up the side.
Kate looked like she'd been taking style tips from fellow celeb Lindsay Lohan, embracing the festive season by wearing this cute red and black printed blouse. But she still couldn't manage to leave behind her old favourite – that tux jacket...
Oh, someone please buy her a new one for Christmas! We've added a beauty to her Christmas wish list that we created for her over on OSOYOU.com - click here to take a sneaky peek.
Known for her bling, Beyonce has been chosen as the face of Giorgio Armani's new perfume, Diamonds.
The press release tells us this 'irresistibly feminine fragrance is a wonderful combination of woods and amber mixed with lychee and raspberry'.
Sounds...well quite a lot like other perfumes really, but who cares? I'm far more interested in what Bey was wearing for the promotion.
Never one to let us down, she wore this beautiful dark red satin halter neck dress, which gathered at the waist and was a stunning match to her perfect complexion.
And of course, Bey was also absolutely dripping in tons of gorgeous bling too, in the form of bangles, rings and huge dangly earrings (all diamonds I’m sure!).
As for her shoes – black, glittery peep-toe platforms (*sigh*) - need I say more?
Yep, it seems Brangelina really have produced the super-est super baby the world has ever seen. Well, according to US magazine Forbes, anyway.
Shiloh Jolie-Pitt topped their list of the most influential celebrity children under the age of five, closely followed by Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' daughter Suri at number two.
Other runners up included: Britney's son Sean Preston Federline, and Dannielynn Hope Marshall Birkhead, daughter of the late Anna Nicole Smith.
And with such stylish parents, I have a sneaky suspicion that it won't be long before Shiloh starts topping the world's best-dressed polls, too.
You know, I don't reckon it's that hard to make a successful film in Hollywood.
I mean, check out the trailer for new Batman movie, The Dark Knight, starring Heath Ledger, Christian Bale and Maggie Gyllenhaal. All they've done is follow the simple style formula below, and I'm already wishing Christmas away so that I can start the countdown to next summer's blockbuster.
Take one gorgeous man in a dashing designer suit...
...add one rather nasty bad guy in need of a few tips on applying make-up (look at those terrible crow’s feet - and I won't even mention that lipstick smear)...
...and add a beautiful damsel who definitely doesn't need any tips on looking good. You can bet she'll be looking pristine even when 'in distress'.
Et voila - slosh in a huge helping of edge-of-your-seat, nail-biting action and I think you may be in for a pretty darn good film.
And if that isn’t enough to convince you, click here to check out the whole trailer on Youtube.
The biggest decision I ever have to make with my hair is whether to tie it up or wear it down. But in the celeb world, things are soo much more complicated than that!
Rihanna, who had a messy up 'do the last time I saw her on this blog, hence this late style-change spot (and not the fact that I was distracted by her rather terrible bondage-style outfit, natch), now has a head of lovely long wavy hair. And rather fetching it is, too!
Rihanna showed off her new hair whilst sporting a tight-fitting purple body-con dress, which she teamed with black fishnet tights and pointy black heels.
Lovely new hair and lovely clothes: it's almost enough to make you hate those pesky 'slebs, isn't it?
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's super Paris!
Paris Hilton arrived at Los Angeles International airport yesterday looking very different from her usual highly-groomed self.
Sporting (geddit?) a burgundy tracksuit, and blue Superman T-shirt, she accessorised with trainers, oversized white sunglasses and a tiny gold handbag.
The overall look was more than a little remniscent of rap stars from the Eighties. In fact, I'm pretty sure I saw Jazzy Jeff in those glasses on a re-run of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
Maybe Paris is looking for her own TV show: The Blonde Heiress of Bel Air?
Kim looked stunning in this latest sneaky peek from the set of the most eagerly awaited film ever: the Sex and the City movie!
This outfit has so much going on that it's difficult to know where to look first, but I love every single piece!
Kim's outfit as PR Samantha teams a yellow silk cowl-necked halter dress with a brocade yellow cape (which looks vintage), accessorising with gold sandals, a pearlized quilted bag, and a wide white Eighties-style belt.
The overall look is glam, exaggerated - and just what you'd expect Samantha to wear (although I don't remember her being a dog lover, even if his little coat does match her outfit!).
Yellow is set to be one of the biggest colours next season, and high street designer label Karen Millen will be one of the key retailers showcasing this gorgeous shade.
But if you want to get going on spring trends early, why not head over to OSOYOU.com for a List of some of the key buys in yellow online now?
Some people prepare for Christmas by writing a letter to Santa. Lindsay Lohan however, prefers to dress like him.
Lindsay left a Beverley Hills salon on Saturday evening looking very festive, and more than a little like my favourite bearded man! She teamed a long-line red cardigan with red trimmed black leather riding boots and black leggings, accessorising with silver jewellery and oversized shades.
I really want to get my hands on that cardigan! The vibrant red colour would be perfect for Christmas, but teamed with jeans and a logo Tshirt would still look cool.
Much better than the reindeer jumper my mum knits me every year, anyway........
If, like Lindsay, you've had a bit of a rough year and need some pampering over the festive season (or some last-minute gift ideas, you naughty thing, you!), take a look at our special Boots gift lists on OSOYOU.com for some inspiration.
It's no way to win Kate back - but rumour has it that Pete Doherty will spill the beans on his relationship with the Moss-ter for a tell-all documentary.
According to The Sunday People, Pete's negotiating a £50,000 deal with a British channel to make a programme about his romance with Kate.
Could this be his lowest career point yet?
Quite frankly: no. At least, not after I saw these pics of Pete supporting cockney pop duo Chas and Dave on the weekend, anyway!
Pete hardly dressed up for the occasion in his trademark scruffy/ really quite stinky and unwashed look, finished off with a rather fetching ink stain on the front of his T-shirt. Nice.
There’s a fine line between fashionably 'unkempt' and just plain scummy. Pete has most definitely crossed this line.
Oh dear, Pete - maybe you should out the Gorgeous Men in Equally Gorgeous Clothes Group on OSOYOU.com for some lessons in how to dress to impress. The sooner the better, in my opinion.
Then maybe Kate might overlook your little 'indiscretion'?
Poor Gethin Jones, he won’t be getting a Blue Peter badge for his effort on Strictly Come Dancing this weekend.
Everyone's favourite Welsh boy (well, apart from Steve Jones, obviously - those eyes...) became the eleventh celebrity to be voted off the show on Saturday night.
The Blue Peter presenter and his pro dancing partner Camilla Dallerup were quick-stepped out of the competition when they faced a dance-off against Matt Di Angelo and Flavia Cacace.
Gethin said:
‘I’m absolutely gutted but it’s been an incredible adventure and I’ve got some good moves to take back to the dance floor’.
I'm gutted too, Gethin - this means no more Saturday nights drooling over you in those tight dancing trousers (which, as far as I'm concerned, should become standard wear for all men under 40).
Seriously - I know what I'm getting my boyfriend for Christmas...
Nicole Kidman took this season's metallic trend a step too far at last night's premiere of her new movie The Golden Compass, held at the State Theatre in Sydney last night.
Nic sported this tin foil-esque silver trouser suit teamed with a matt T shirt and black patent heels. Now I think the cut of the suit, at least, is lovely - but I can't be sure because I'm blinded by the shiny shiny fabric!
This outfit is a great example of how not to wear the metallic trend: someone should have told Nicole to stick to just one item at a time (and maybe throw those silver trousers away!).
Why not make your one metallic item a pair of shoes from our metallic shoes list? After all, a girl can never have enough heels.......
After her huge style error at the Grammy nominations last week, it was good to see Hayden Panettiere rocking festive fashion at New York radio station Z100's Jingle Ball.
In a sophisticated and stylish black pencil skirt and white sleeveless ruffle shirt, Hayden definitely left her Heroes school girl/cheerleader image behind on the night.
Subtly festive and OSO fashionable Hayden - I love it!
The Spice Girls kicked off the first of their 17 (count 'em!) London dates at the 02 Arena last night. And as you can see, it's true what they say: all that glitters is not gold. Sometimes it can be silver, white, and sequin-y too.
I'm not sure exactly what was going on at the moment this picture was taken. It looks like Victoria was telling a joke, Mel B and Emma were laughing at it, Geri was about to throw something into the crowd, and Mel C has just been goosed by a backing dancer.
But that aside, didn't they look terrific? In a white, sparkly, Christmasssy sort of way? Why, even Emma's support stocking seemed to glimmer with Yuletide cheer. Erm, possibly. I think I might have had too much eggnog. I'd better go and lie down.
Yes, if you thought Kylie Minogue could do 'Black, Daring And Saucy' on last night's X Factor, get a load of Rihanna in concert in Glasgow on Friday night.
I'm not sure quite what to say about this outfit, other than: I'm sure that all the boyfriends and husbands who were dragged along to Friday's show were frightfully glad that they were.
You're young, you're slim, you're pretty. You could wear anything. So why are you wearing this?
Sorry, I know it's the season of goodwill to all men, and all that. But there are limits. And they include: young, pretty, slim people dressing like Nancy Dell'Olio Crossed With Gwyneth Paltrow. Oh, and Very Bad Dye Jobs Which Make Your Blonde Hair Look Orange.
Ms Barton was out in Dublin last night - she and Shirley MacLaine were guests on The Late Late Show, dontcha know - wearing slouchy, wide-legged pants (and they are 'pants' when they look like this), a loose, long jacket, a leopard print top and a leopard print scarf. Oh, and orange hair.
I would have said 'matching leopard print scarf' but as you can see, it doesn't actually match. Which is just one of the things wrong with this dreary outfit.
Mischa, remember: Father Christmas is coming soon. He's making a list. He's checking it twice. He's even going to find out who's naughty and nice. So I suggest you get that request in for 'Brand New Wardrobe' sharpish.
Or at least they were when this picture was taken.
The Beckhams took their sprogs to London's Winter Wonderland yesterday - which for the uninitiated is a Christmas-themed fair situated in Hyde Park right now. The Beckham boys went ice-skating, Becks did his Trendy Dad thing in a slouchy beanie, and Posh clung on to him while pulling her sleeves down over her hands. You know, the usual sort of Beckham day out.
Victoria also dusted off that old favourite the baker boy hat for the occasion - well, Sadie Frost was out in hers recently, so why not, eh? - and if you want to copy her style, check out our collection of Posh-inspired headgear and more in Victoria's Stylefile over on OSOYOU.com. Blow-up David Beckham doll not included. Sadly.
And no, that's not a reaction to the news that Leon, and not Rhydian, won The X Factor (that word word be: 'hurrah'). It's a reaction to what Kylie Minogue wore on the show last night.
Because Kylie looked, erm, 'very striking' in a black lace outfit which involved, as you can see, an awful lot of black lace - and not much else - as she joined Leon for a big band, swing version of Better The Devil You Know.
Yes, if you thought this outfit was shocking, you should have seen that. It was rather like a young son putting on a Christmas show for the family with his mad auntie. And no, I don't mean that in a good way.
It was a trademark she started back in the Nineties, but this week we've seen style icons Kate Moss and Lily Cole out and about in leopard print coats.
Now it's time for Mel B to rejoin the gang!
Mel B (aka Scary Spice or Melanie Brown) stepped out with husband Stephen Belafonte go for dinner at Zuma restaurant in London. Mel sported a simple black shift dress with patterned black tights and ankle boots. She teamed this with a single breasted leopard print mac that really livened up the outfit!
Need a little leopard print in your life? Check out our Trend alert: leopard print list now. Then you too can join Mel and Kate in my newly-formed leopard print club!
Since his Take That days, I have been a massive Robbie Williams fan (and I really do mean massive). There's just something about that cheeky grin of his, although admittedly he's not showing it off in this photo!
Robbie Williams headed out with a pal do some Christmas shopping at The Grove in LA yesterday, picking up items at Nordstrom and Abercrombie and Fitch.
Robbie looked very chic and stylish, sporting a black overcoat over washed denim. He teamed this with a loosely fastened skinny black scarf.
Crikey! It's December: surely someone needs to tell that girl to buy a coat. Or at the very least a cardigan!
I'm joking of course (well, mostly) Gemma had just popped into the Debenhams in Glasgow to open the new in-store Ultimo shop. Gemma has been the latest 'face' of Ultimo's new D to G cup range since the end of October, and you can certainly tell why: she looks gorgeous!
To get your hands on some stunning lingerie before Christmas, à la Gemma, head over to the my favourite underwear list where you'll find feel-good-underwear to brighten up even the darkest day!
No, not singing: partying and looking good, of course!
The Girls Aloud star was out and about with Victoria Hervey last night, where they started their partying at 24 club before moving on to London's exclusive Mahiki Club.
Sarah wore a silver metallic top over black jeans with a matching black coat to protect against the chill. She teamed this with a black and silver neckscarf and an oversized padded metallic bag (which looks very much like a Chanel to me!)
Sarah is obviously still loving the metallic trend. If you too want some sparkle in your life, check out our metallic footwear list now: you'll find shoes guarenteed to add glitz to any outfit!
News Flash #1: Kate Moss joined pal Sadie Frost at Julie's in Notting Hill yesterday afternoon to do some Christmas shopping. The pair emerged from the store with bags full of gifts, so at least that's two guarenteed houses full of happy children on the morning of the 25th.
News Flash #2: Kate is wearing new boots! Yes, they're black leather knee highs (much like the old ones in fact) but these ones have a slight heel and a round toe as opposed to the other scuffed pointed-toed flats. Kate teamed her new boots with a black faux fur coat, floral dress and black opaque tights.
Kate does her own Christmas shopping (just like us) and has gotten rid of those boots? This is the best news i've heard all week.......
All the stars came out for OK! Magazine's Christmas Party at the Surya Health Spa in London last night. Well, all the B list stars and everyone who's ever been on Big Brother anyway! The outfit choices were a mix of little dresses and erm, little dresses that are seasonaly themed! Here are 3 of the 'best':
Chantelle Houghton wore a skin tight leopard print dress with a large red bow detail. She teamed this with black peep-toe shoes, a black clutch and acres of orange flesh. I bet she felt a little underdressed when she saw some of the other guests.....
Nikki Grahame chose the costume route and dressed like a very cheeky Christmas elf. She teamed a short green satin dress with matching elf hat (which is exactly the same as a Santa hat but green!) She accessorised with green and white stripey socks and big black belt. Now all she needs to do is find Santa.
Oh, here she is! Shy and retiring Alicia Duval joined a posse of friends and dressed as 'Santa Barbie', complete with gift box. I'm not sure the pink box does very much for her figure, but I suppose at least it covers her up a bit. And you have to give her points for an original outfit: she definitely stands out from the crowd!
Still, you certainly wouldn't want that popping out of your Christmas stocking would you?
Eva Longoria looked amazing as she went to cheer on husband Tony Parker in the Lakers-Spurs (that's basketball y' know) game in LA last night. This wouldn't normally be headline news: Eva always manages to look stunning, and it's nice to show an interest in your husband's job.
However, this week Eva is showing her support for her hubby in more than his game: Parker has been accused of having an affair with a French model who he met on his wedding day. Eva is standing by her man though and they are both denying the accusations.
See how she's proudly wearing her wedding ring? Good for her I say. Here's hoping he deserves it.........
Mischa Barton looked stunning at the premiere of her movie Closing the Ring at the Waterfront Hall in Belfast last night.
Mischa wore a beautiful cream silk shirt with a pussy bow and studding detail across the neckline. She teamed this with a full black satin skirt and studded Christian Louboutin stillettos. Mischa kept the outfit slightly understated by wearing no jewellery and styling her (newly blonde!) hair in long loose curls.
The simple and yet elabourate monochrome outfit had a very vintage 'Chanel from the 1950s' feel that made Mischa look like a French Covergirl, and definitely the star of the show!
Dolce & Gabanna held their Christmas party at their store on Old Bond Street in London last night. The event was full of celebs all dressed up, but no one looked at stunning as Pixie Geldof.
Pixie wore an oversized cardigan in D&G trademark leopard print, teamed with a sequinned micro mini skirt and a silk vest. She accessorised with opaque black tights, black peep toed stillettos and gold hooped earrings. The overall look was young and trendy: not unlike the lovely young Pixie herself.
If you think a flash of leopard print would liven up your outfit, check out our Trend Alert: Leopard print list and start adding to your Stylefile now!
Kate Moss headed out to dinner with Kelly Osbourne and celebrity stylist James Brown at China Tang last night, and for the first time in literally weeks, she was snapped without her favourite knee high boots on.
Kate opted instead for a beautiful A-line little black mini dress (a LBMD, if you will!) The dress consisted of a satin shift covered in a layer of pleated chiffon. Kate teamed this with a leather biker jacket, opaque tights and black and silver shoe boots. The silver theme was continued with her large drop earrings.
The overall look was a little bit feminine and a little bit rock chick, and as always, I really liked it. To be honest though, as long as it meant she took of those jeans and boots for a few hours, I would like this style icon in a binbag...
Those Spice Girls, always lending a helping hand. Well, I suppose this could have something to do with Richard Branson naming a plane after them...
The Girls were in London for the unveiling at Heathrow Airport and didn't they look festive! I'm loving this block colour look they've been going for lately. Victoria looked polished as usual in a red satin dress and Louboutins. Geri took to winter white with a cute slouchy dress and what could only be called go-go boots. Mel B showed off her shape in a green frock. Emma rocked purple with a black cardi and a pair purple platforms.
Actually make that one purple platform. Emma is on crutches after spraining her ankle on stage in Las Vegas. But her injured foot still looked stylish with a bright red pedicure.
And then there was Mel C, the designated tomboy. The only thing remotely feminine about her outfit was the pink t-shirt. However, her pairing of a leather jacket, skull scarf, black skinny jeans (shock horror would ensue if ever we were to see her ankles) and lace ups is actually the most on-trend look of them all. Good on you Mel.
But behind this lovely and cosy front, there's always a behind the scenes. VH1 wouldn't be around without it. And soon we'll be able to hear the stories straight from the Girls themselves. Coming soon to BBC One is a documentary called Spice Girls: Giving You Everything that chronicles the girl power band from the beginning to today. Apparently all the Girls are quite candid.
I can't wait for this. All these pretty and perfect appearances have had me dying for a little dirt.
The Heroes star announced the nominees for the 65th annual Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills yesterday, alongside Ryan Reynolds and Quentin Tarantino.
Angelina Jolie, Keira Knightley and Cate Blanchett are all up against each other for best actress.
But enough of the real news - back to Hayden's awful outfit. I usually love her simple, classy style - but this rather unflattering cream polo neck has to be a bit of a fashion faux pas.
Hasn’t anyone told you halter necks are so last year, Hayden? And teaming it with a black pencil skirt doesn't make it any better, especially with those pale pins.
I'm hoping to see a bigger effort for the awards themselves, Ms Panettiere!
Quite a lot of people, actually - but he's obviously got a soft spot for X Factor winner, Leona Lewis.
Simon and the bosses at Sony BMG have clubbed together to treat her and her fella to an all-expenses paid holiday in the Caribbean.
The couple will spend the New Year in a romantic cabin in one of the world’s most beautiful locations.
There's just one teeny tiny catch - half of Leona’s bosses will be in the cabins next door. And Simon always spends Christmas in the Caribbean.
Erm, cosy...
Maybe you should have taken a peek at the Leona Lewis Christmas wish list we created over on OSOYOU.com, Simon - you might have found something a little more personal.
Britney Spears goes back to her bottle blond roots in her new music video for the single 'Piece of Me' (which doesn't actually get released until January). Wearing a fur gillet and, wait, is that the black sequin bra from the notorious MTV Awards performance? It could be, she's not adverse to recycling garments. But it looks a heck of a lot better here. Of course her need to expose her midriff is something I'm not sure I can get on board with. But she does look really good in this. Her make-up is lovely, her hair extensions are bouncy and beautiful.
But don't take my word for it, take a look at the sneak peek of the video just by clicking here. Go on. You know you love her.
For all the sceptics out there who thought that the Marc and Cerys 'romance' was deserving of sarcastic quote marks, it looks as though we (yes, myself included) are about to eat our words.
Marc is learning Welsh. Nothing like learning the mother tongue (literally, as Cerys' mum only speaks the language) of your sweetheart to express your devotion. Apparently Marc is picking up a few phrases in order to better communicate with her family. The I'm A Celebrity stars have been holed up in a cottage right next to Cerys' family home.
Wanting to communicate with your partner's family? Sounds like he's in it for the long run doesn't it?
Okay, so maybe my heart is warming to this couple. And Marc does look pretty cute in this flat cap and puffer vest ensemble. Almost makes me forget the fact that he's a love rat. Almost. But if it really is true love, then I suppose I could forgive him. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. Watch this space.
American model Lauren Bush (yes, she is related to George W: she's his niece) attended the launch of the "Feed 1 bag" campaign at Harrods yesterday. And jolly lovely she looked at the event too!
"Feed 1 Bag" aims to raise awareness about child hunger and build funds for the UN World Food Programme’s school feeding programme. The goal is to help children get into school and out of hunger. Each FEED 1 bag sold will provide a year of school lunches for one child in need – and give them the hope of both an education and a brighter future. Now that's what I call feel good shopping!
Even without the feed the world feel good factor, cotton bags look stylish and are eco friendly, making them bang on trend for this season: everyone from designer to highstreet is producing cotton bags at the mo as an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic bags.
In fact, i've seen a rather lovely Louis Vuitton one that i'm busy adding to my Stylefile as we speak....

Gwen headed out for dinner with husband Gavin Rossdale in LA last night, and was the star of the show. (Although given Gavin's jeans and trainers combo, he wasn't hard to upstage!)
In a step away from her usual slightly alternative style, Gwen looked really sophisticated in a cream swing jacket teamed with cropped wide legged trousers and a matching black and cream scarf. She accessorized with flat pointed toed pumps, a Louis Vuitton handbag, and oversized sunshades. A slick of bright red lipstick added a flash of colour to the look.
The overall look was very mature and grown-up. Maybe now little baby Kingston is out of nappies Gwen's decided it's time to dress like a yummy mummy. Well, she certainly looks yummy to me.....

Ok, so that was a lie, but if she did, this is definitely what she'd wear!
Ex-Big Brother housemate Chanelle Hayes wore this rather fetching (and rather sexy) lady-Santa costume to celeb haunt China White last night. The cut of the dress was surprisingly flattering and the long fur trimmed gloves were an interesting alternative to wearing a coat. By the look of those pasty legs, Miss Hayes needs to head over and check out our opaque tights list though.
What I love most about Chanelle is that even in the most ridiculous of outfits, that girl still manages to do her 'Victoria Beckham' pout. Although i'm not sure I see Victoria popping out from behind the Christmas tree dressed like this anytime soon.....

Lily Cole looked well wrapped up as she wandered down London's Regent Street last night.
Taking a tip from fellow supermodel Kate Moss, Lily sported a (faux) fur jacket. Lily opted for a long, a-line coat with a peter pan collar rather than the very furry cropped version favoured by Miss Moss.
Lily teamed her stunning winter warmer with knee high black boots, black jeans, and a grey hooded top which she had sensibly pulled over her head for added prrotection from the cold. The overall look was both very chic and very cosy.
Who says supermodels can't dress sensibly and look great?

Ok, so her rather sophisticated outfit is mostly black, but it's Miss Osbournes bright pink shoes you notice first.
Kelly teamed hot pink round-toed stillettos with a fitted black coat and black skinny jeans as she left Davinia Taylors house yesterday. The outfit looked amazing on Kelly's new slim-line figure as it skimmed her curves, and the flash of pink stopped the look from being too severe.
If you love all things pink and think a flash of colour would brighten up your outfit, check out our pretty in pink list.
You too can smile as broadly as the lovely Miss Osbourne: shoes that cute and pink would make anyone that happy!

Hold the press! Sharon Osbourne has said something controversial.
Ok, so I know that's nothing too unusual – but it's pretty juicy all the same!
Shazza's hit out at co X Factor host Dannii Minogue, claiming the only reason she's on X Factor is because she's pretty!
According to the Daily Mail, Sharon said:
"She’s only on X Factor because of her looks."
And, let's face it Sharon, you're probably only on X Factor because of your mouth. After all, it gets them some pretty good headlines, right?
Mrs. Osbourne has lately turned to the written word to get her opinions out though. Here she is just yesterday at the book signing for her new autobiographical book Survivor.
She certainly hasn't lost her gall over the years, but it looks like she did lose her feet! We love a good wide leg trouser Sharon, but this look is a tad over the top. Careful or you'll have Dannii blasting back by criticizing your style.
Yup, it's very possible that Jess has a bun in the oven in this picture. Who knew that when we were commenting on that gorgeous LBD that she would be the next star to join the baby boom?
But a spokesperson for Jessica Alba has confirmed that she is expecting a baby with on-again boyfriend Cash Warren. Jess is apparently due in the spring or early summer. The couple met on the set of the Fantastic Four in 2004, but were rumoured to have split earlier this year. Then they were rumoured to have reconciled. Convenient for a baby announcement eh?
Who knows what the real deal is between Jessica and Cash. What I'm most interested in, besides her upcoming maternity wear which is sure to be lovely, is the baby names they'll be considering. With a father who signs his name with a dollar sign (yep, that actually helped the guy score a date with Miss Alba) who knows what they'll come up with. Could that be baby Credit in there? Charge? Maybe little Penny would make sense...
I could go on. But the bottom line is that we wish them all the best! Congratulations!
All those different colours and textures are making my eyes go funny!
A grey velvet jacket with what looks like a crocheted black skirt, black suede boots and wait for it... a tan leather bag? It’s a recipe for disaster.
As individual pieces go, they're not that bad. I like the jacket, which could have looked great with a high-waisted skirt or a smart pair of wide leg trousers.
The skirt would be nice too, maybe with some opaque tights. And you can just about get away with the boots. But lose the bag and the jacket if you’re wearing the skirt.
I guess what I'm trying to say, Kate, is just because you like individual items in your wardrobe, ethy do not necessarily a good ensemble make.
Yup, that's right folks. Britney Spears could be the next Virgin Mary. Ever imagined the Nativity play complete with pink wigs and mini skirts? One French director has.
Director Phillippe Rebboah has apparently offered the singer the lead role in his film Sweet Baby Jesus. But don't expect Britney to be hanging out in a manger. The film is a satirical version of the Nativity story which has Mary as a pregnant 19-year-old who is unsure of the identity of the baby's father. The character then goes into labour on Christmas Eve beginning rumours of the second coming. Britney is apparently reviewing the script.
Rebboah said, in the understatement of the year, "It's a bit ironic that she would play the Virgin Mary, no?"
I think I've found my new Christmas movie!
But while I'm waiting for this gem of a movie to come to fruition, I've become weirdly inspired to inject a little pink into my wardrobe. Good thing there's the handy Pretty in Pink List to satisfy my craving. No wigs included though. Let's save that look for Brit.
Peter Andre might be a debatable choice for the gorgeous men in equally gorgeous clothes list, but one man who never fails to make the grade is the lovely George Clooney.
George and girlfriend Sarah Larson had a romantic dinner at the Bolognese restaurant in Rome. George then bought a beautiful bouquet of roses for his lovely new lady before they walked back to their Hotel De Russie hand in hand. Altogether now, awwww!
George Clooney is gorgeous, he looks amazing in a formal suit teamed with a casual T-shirt (which isn't a look many men can pull off), and he's romantic too! That Miss Larson is one lucky lucky lady.......
Wow, Katie won’t have a problem seeing you in the dark now Peter!
So it’s a new look for Peter Andre this time. Katie Price went dark recently and now Peter has gone for an industrial sized amount of peroxide in his pursuit to be blonde.
I’m not entirely convinced it was a good move.
Up until this point I was considering putting Pete into our Gorgeous Men in Equally Gorgeous Clothes group. But now with this shocker of a hairdo, I’m not so sure. I think I will have to leave this down to you lot.
Do you think Peter deserves to be included in the rather exclusive group? Or is now not the right time for him and his hair? Speak your minds OSOYOU.com blog readers and vote in the poll below.
Kylie and Jason will both be starring in Saturday's X-Factor Live final, but luckily (for Kylie at least!) their hair is a little different now since the last time they performed together!
This weekends X-Factor final will take on a very different format to previous finals of the show. Rather than sing 2 solo tracks, this year the contestants will be singing two tracks alone, and another with a famous crooner. Kylie will be singing with Leon, whilst Jason will be singing with Same Difference. Opera singer Katherine Jenkins will be partnering The Scary One (also known as Rhydian)
According to The Daily Record, a show source said: "Each of the acts will do three songs including one with their star act.....Leon performing with Kylie is sure to bring in a strong vote." I'll say! There goes my Saturday night out.....
First That That, then The Spice Girls, and now Kylie and Jason: Back together for our televisual pleasure! Unfortunately noone has confirmed that the former pop duo will be actually singing together. But a girl can hope, eh?

Princess B looked lovely as she stepped out to have dinner at London's China Tang restaurant with her mum Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson and her friend Riley Keough (Lisa Marie Priesley's daughter)
Beatrice wore a knee length black dress with white trim. She teamed this with black opaque tights, and flat black pumps (A sensible outfit any mum would approve of). So far though, not very exciting. On top of her dress however, Beatrice added a long fitted grey coat and a vibrant turquiose scarf. The vibrant colour of the scarf stopped the outfit looking dowdy and looked amazing with her beautiful auburn hair (I'll overlook the ugly brown headband she's wrapped around it!)
Overall I think Beatrice pulls this look off. And she's covered that hardest of teenage outfits: looking sensible for your mum and cool for your friend all at the same time!

Oh dear, Naomi, your mate Nelson Mandela won’t be so happy if he starts receiving prank calls.
In this picture Naomi Campbell is showing off a photo of herself and Mr Mandela whom she apparently refers to as 'Granddad' demonstrating how 'close' they are. After Monday night though, I wonder if 'Granddad' will be as close.
At the after-show party for the Led Zeppelin concert on Monday, Naomi Campbell freaked out when she discovered she had had her BlackBerry stolen.
We hear that the supermodel was in such a state she even accused Dave Grohl, the Foo Fighters frontman, of having it. An eyewitness said: “As soon as she realised her stuff was missing she started screaming and shouting and wildly pointed in the direction of where Grohl was sitting, screeching, ‘Have they got it, have they got it?’”
The mystery pilfering little monster has hit the celebrity jackpot. The device contains the personal numbers of a whole stream of A-list celebrities including Kate Moss, P Diddy, Beyonce, Lewis Hamilton, Claudia Schiffer and even Mr. Mandela himself.
Let’s just hope for Naomi’s sake, there isn’t a repeat of what happened to Paris Hilton a couple of years ago when a 17-year-old boy hacked into her mobile phone address book and posted loads of celebrities’ personal details on the net.
Although, I wouldn't mind giving Kate a quick tinkle to see if she wants to come to my New Years Eve bash!
What better place to do business while looking fashionable than LAX airport?
It's multi-tasker Hayden Panettiere's location of choice anyways. The Heroes star juggled her mobile, a memo from US television network NBC and her passport as she flew in to Los Angeles. The aforementioned memo is sparking rumours that she could be saying her own name when she announces the Golden Globe Award nominees with actress Ashley Judd this week.
But what has our tongues wagging are her fantastic boots. I know, you can't see them. Just hold on, good things come to those who wait! Hayden was adorable in a leather bomber (looks like she's been checking out our Black Leather Jackets List), black skinny jeans, a fab grey bag, and... a lovely pair of very un-black boots. We've been a bit bored by the predictable black boot this season... but what colour are Hayden's? Are they fit for a superhero?
Alright, you ready then? Go on, click here and check them out for yourself. You may even find a pair for yourself while you're at it.
Kate Hudson and son Ryder took a stroll through New York yesterday, and wrapped up warm against the winter weather. Ryder looked snug in a khaki coat and baby UGG boots, whilst Kate opted for a sleek silhouette of jeans tucked into knee high boots with a black sweater and black mac. She finished off the outfit with oversized shades (so everyone knows she's a celebrity, obviously) and a slouchy blue and white hat.
I'm a big fan of oversized hats this winter, and Kate's really brightens up her outfit. In fact, maybe i'll add some brightly coloured hats to my (mostly black) Stylefile.......

Think this story is about Paris Hilton getting her kit off in a club? It wouldn't surprise me either, but the heiress has been dancing on tables in longer skirts like this one these days.
She's actually stripping nude, literally, for champagne. It just happens to be her own line of champagne.
The Paris Hilton brand-a-mania is in full force as she is set to release her own line of champagne, Rich Prosecco, and appear in the ads covered only in gold paint. Yup, you will soon be able to sip the sweet taste of Paris. But the kicker? You'll be sipping from a can. No joke.
There's good news to go along with this though. It turns out that Ms. Hilton is actually trying to do some good with this new venture. Twenty percent of sales will go to a charity which purchases glacial water in order to distribute clean drinking water to people in cities of need. Nice!
Until you can get your hands on Paris' champagne, why not check out her Stylefile? You might as well look like an heiress while giving back.
You can always rely on Sarah Jessica Parker’s style to impress.
Just take a look at what she's wearing out and about in Beverly Hills. A seemingly straight-laced outfit: black blazer, skinny black jeans, a royal blue top and, her favourite accessory this winter, that Louis Vuitton leopard print scarf.
But hold on... moving down towards her feet I spy a style statement in the most deliciously gorgeous pair of turquoise peep toe platforms. Sarah’s shoes never let the side down, do they?
I'm left speechless with this pair though. I can't take my eyes off those shoes! Need to have them!

Ever envied Victoria Beckham? How about now?
Yup, the Spice Girl goes home to this every night. Well, maybe not this exactly. David Beckham may watch TV with the shirt buttoned. But let's hope not!
Okay enough, ogling... for the moment. The real story here is that Emporio Armani has ingeniously recruited the famous footballer to front their new underwear campaign that will coincide with the launch of the line in the US. Starting in January we'll be seeing a lot more of Mr. Beckham in magazines, billboards. The sexy campaign will debut in the February issue of US Vanity Fair.
Yes, Julia Roberts made a welcome return to the red carpet last night, at the Los Angeles premiere of her latest movie Charlie Wilson's War.
In the film, Julia sports blonde curly hair which makes her look frighteningly like Kath from Kath And Kim. Fortunately, she returned to brunette, wavy form for last night's premiere, and kept it equally simple with a plain Little Black (Shift) Dress and black peep-toe shoes.
If you want to get Julia's look, check out our Little Black Dress List on OSOYOU.com. Every Pretty Woman should have one.
Well, maybe not officially. But Dita Von Teese has been bigging up her newest celeb pal lately.
According to The Sun newspaper, the beautiful queen of burlesque said:
"[Victoria]'s always polished and put together, and never vulgar. I love the risque photo shoots she's done with David."
Dita added that she admires the couple because “They're willing to take chances." You can say that again! I'm sure we've all copped an eyeful of Becks in his pants this morning. Nice.
In case you’re still reading this, and not daydreaming about David's smalls (although the jury's still out on that one...) I thought you might like to know that The Sun was inspired enough by this story to run a poll on who readers thought was sexier, Posh or Dita.
Guess who's winning so far? That's right, the lovely Ms Von Teese, with 67 per cent. She might not have David, but the girl's got style, dagnammit!
What do you lot think? Is it Victoria’s smart, well groomed, chic style or Dita’s classic boudoir style that does it for you?
Despite being sold out, the Spice Girls gig in Las Vegas last night was rather less popular than predicted, with only half the seats filled. Was everyone else washing their hair?
Luckily, good ol' Colleen McLoughlin turned up in support of her fellow WAG Victoria and the other girls.
David was there too. I wonder how many times he's listened to Spice Up Your Life now? That’s one dedicated husband.
The girls carried on regardless, donning their stunningly sparkly costumes and giving it their all. And I'm sure those five fans had a brilliant time.
And why do I mention this fact? Because Sienna's latest pair of shoes make the grade. They really have to be seen to be believed. Trust me. Or rather: don't trust me, and just go take a look at the List yourself. It's full of shoes dramatic enough to catch the eye of any paparazzi photographer, or at least make you almost as tall as Rhys Ifans.
While the rest of us mere mortals were forced to pay thousands of pounds on eBay for tickets to last night's Led Zeppelin reunion gig, one person didn't have any trouble getting her hands on a ticket, of course.
And here was Ms Moss leaving her house on her way to said gig last night. As you can see, Kate decided to be so appropriately dressed for the occasion that she failed to put any trousers on. It doesn't get more rock 'n' roll than that, folks!
Still, that (hopefully fake) fur coat, opaque tights and black boots make for a fabulous look. If you want to take a leaf out of Kate's glam rock book, take a look at our equally fabulous Faux Fur List on OSOYOU.com. We guarantee that no animals, or rock stars, were harmed in the making of it.
Eva Mendes, the face of the 2008 Campari Calendar (it's like the Pirelli one but with fewer tyres), turned up to its unveiling yesterday in Miami.
As you see, she looked like she'd been Tangoo-ed - or rather: Campari-ed- in a rather, erm, unusual, figure-hugging, low-backed orange dress.
And as for that calendar? Well, it features images of Eva in various (12, to be precise) mystical, Dali-esque scenes. They feature a lot of stormy skies, wild beaches, white horses and men without their shirts on, plus the occasional bottle of Campari. It's all fantastically naff, and I highly recommend taking a look at them here, in the 'Campari Tales' section. Honestly, it's like Athena never went away.
Girls Aloud sure know how to work the red carpet don't they? Always in co-ordinating sparkle, always moving in a pack - they're a force to be reckoned with really. Whether or not the event has anything to do with them.
Such was the scene at last night's St Trinians film premiere at Leceister Square. But the Girls weren't just there to look pretty, they all star in the film. Alongside the lovely Colin Firth and Rupert Everett, each member of Girls Aloud don school uniforms for the film version of the classic TV show. And they're outfits rival Britney's turn as a schoolgirl. Does anyone remember sporting suspenders with their hiked up school skirts? No? Just me then?
Thankfully the Girls wardrobe choices were a tad tame for the premiere. Nadine paired her deep winter tan with a shimmering black and silver brocade mini dress and opted to brave the cold in bare legs. Nicola, a tad paler than rest, wore a sparkler inspired by peacock feathers. Kimberley looked gorgeous in a gold studded dress with the ever fashionable black opaque tights. Sarah chose a shimmering silver and blue frock and wore strappy silver heels with her tights. Cheryl wore a black and silver sequin dress with opaques, but didn't manage to look as polished as the others due to the several alice bands in her hair that just didn't work.
We'll likely be seeing even more of at least one of the Girls on the premiere circuit. Apparently Sarah would love to do more acting. I predict more short-skirted roles in her future.
What is the place to do your Christmas shopping this year?
Why the Kitson boutique on Robertson Boulevard in LA of course! Paris Hilton was there just last week. The boutique has been the hotspot for attention hungry celebs, with a stream of paparazzi waiting store front at the ready each day.
So is it any surprise to see Jordan stepping out of the front door? Or is it Katie Price? Hard to tell from this picture. Anyways, Katie and Peter Andre have flown into LA for a little, well make that a lot of Christmas shopping. They started their bag collection at Kitson, continued on to Abercrombie, even landing in a tattoo parlour.
The couple did well to blend in (kinda) to the California scene in casual outfits and matching tans. Katie looked abnormally normal in a pair of jeans and a white hooded top. But the sky-high platforms were in keeping with her usual style.
Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? OSOYOU.com has a bunch of really great Christmas shopping lists to get you started. Plus you can even create your own wish list to show family and friends.
A little easier than jetting to California don't you agree?
Seeing you at the Ricky Hatton/ Floyd Mayweather match this Sunday just does my heart good. I mean, how often do we get to see a cute couple celebrating their love for a violent sport?
Ok, so maybe I'm a wee bit prejudiced against boxing. But that doesn't mean I don't like to see Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie on a night out having fun. Honest.
Especially when they dress with such great style. Look at Brad, all laidback and casual in his flat cap/ leather jacket/ jeans combo, as all real men should be (who wants a guy who looks like he's made more effort than you?).
And Angelina just glows in her sheer black top, drop earrings and natural-looking make-up.
The pair apparently also did their bit in supporting our Ricky, visiting him behind the scenes after the fight to say well done.
A source said:
"Brad went with [Angelina] to [Ricky's] dressing room later and they congratulated him on putting up such a fight. She seemed genuinely affected by what she'd seen and told Ricky he'd been very brave."
How sweet. And let's face it, being visited by Angelina Jolie after a fight must make all the pain just disappear...
Thought Gary Barlow's skills were limited to songwriting and piano-playing? Think again! For as you can see, he's also an aviator from the 1920s.
Gary flew his bi-plane to the Take That aftershow party at Mahiki nightclub in London last night. After touching down, he ripped off his goggles and white silk flying scarf - and promptly got snapped by the paparazzi as he entered the building.
Mr Barlow's dapper look is enough to gain him a place in our esteemed 'Gorgeous Men In Equally Gorgeous Clothes' Group on OSOYOU.com - take a look at the other gents who have made the grade here. Some of them aren't even aviators, you know.
Gutted that you're not going skiing this year? Fear not - for thanks to Lindsay Lohan, it's now perfectly acceptable to wear 'ski holiday chic' when you're so far off piste that you're actually in Los Angeles.
Yes, our Linds was strutting her cosy pink-and-white stuff on the streets of sunny LA yesterday. Although a closer look at her outfit shows that she's not just wearing 'ski holiday chic' but also 'horse-riding chic', by the looks of those black jodhpur-like trousers and black boots. Riding horses down mountains?! Whatever next?!
Stop the presses! Victoria Beckham may have had, or may be considering having, her breast implants removed!
Okay, so it's not exactly clear what's going on underneath Posh's Cavalli costume, but there has been speculation about the fact that her breasts appear a lot smaller than usual. A few pictures have surfaced that show Vicki to be a lot less pumped-up than usual. But her cleavage has also been on good form on stage for the Spice Girls concerts, so there are also rumours that she is just considering having the implants she has never really admitted to having taken out.
As if we weren't already staring at her chest hard enough. But in this photo she does look a little, um, deflated don't you think?
Mrs. Beckham hasn't confirmed any of this yet, so we'll just have to keep our eye on it. Or on them I suppose.
Emerging slightly ominously from the bushes - I won't speculate on what she was doing behind them - Fergie looked a little, erm, robot-like when she was snapped like this yesterday. Very nice and stylish and groomed, of course, in her polo neck dress and big shades. But robot-like nonetheless.
Are Fembots taking over LA? Or is this evidence of Victoria Beckham's American domination? Hmm. Let's hope it's the former, eh?
Click here to see how to dress like Fergie with a polo neck dress.
Some celebrities will go to any lengths to hide themselves from the paparazzi. Wear funny wigs. False moustaches (possibly). Camouflage.
Like Cerys Matthews here. Off for a pub lunch at her favourite pub in Wales (apparently), she donned a camouflage hooded jacket and brown trousers in order to blend in with the jungle. I mean: Welsh scenery.
Actually, given the brickwork behind her, she didn't do too bad a job, really, did she?

Is pink a thing of the past for Big Brother 8's Samanda?
Twins Sam and Amanda Merchant were special guests at the Clothes Show Live this weekend.
And awww, don’t they look all grown up? I reckon a stylist may have got hold of them and persuaded them to leave behind the skater skirts and pink in favour of a more sophisticated style.
I was at The Clothes Show Live in Birmingham on Friday with OSOYOU.com when I spotted the twins. They were doing a bit of shopping and signing a few autographs.
I had to wrestle with all the excited young girls (and their mothers I’d like to point out) to squeeze past and get a closer look at their outfits.
As you can see from this pic, Sam (or was it Amanda?) was wearing a gold and black patterned high waisted skirt with a huge black patent waist belt.
The other twin was wearing a white one. They both wore opaque tights, one white, one black. And they were both wearing some gorgeous gold and black platform courts too. Again, in contrast with each other.
I hope this look is here to stay for the twins - it's a mix and match style I kinda like.
Guess how much I love the dress that Hilary Swank wore to the premiere of PS I Love You?
Lots. That's how much.
Here at OSOYOU, we've noticed the trend for ruffles. We even have a List dedicated to all things ruffled. But then there's ruffles - and there's this phenomenal floorlength dress which Hilary wore last night. Its entire front panel was ruffled; and it was accented with the cutest gold belt.
What does Amy Winehouse have in common with a French fashion powerhouse? More than you'd think.
Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld has sited Amy Winehouse as inspiration for his latest collection which he previewed in London last week. The pre-Fall 2008 collection (ah, fast fashion at its finest), titled Métiers d'Art, marched models down the runway with beehives riding high and black eyeliner thicker than ever.
"She's a style icon," Lagerfeld said of the angst-ridden singer. "She is a beautiful, gifted artist. And I very much like her hairdo. I took it as an inspiration." He went on to compare the beehive to film star Brigitte Bardot's bouffant in the Sixties. "She is the new Brigitte."
Talk about fashion's highest compliment. And it makes more sense than you would think first off. Lagerfeld's Chanel has always been a bit of a rocked out version of the classic Parisian label. So mixing in a bit of Camden cool (or is it East End grunge now that she's moved?) with the elegant tweeds of Chanel isn't exactly brand new.
Amy didn't attend the show last week which had classic style icons like Kate Moss on the guest list, but we're hoping that she'll score a bit of Chanel swag out of this. And first on the list should really be a new pair of ballet pumps.
Thought the whole new wet-look-leather-trouser trend couldn't be topped? Think again!
Because as Lindsay Lohan demonstrated this weekend, it can. By shiny, skin-tight trousers that closely resemble those worn by Olivia Newton-John in the final, 'You're The One That I Want' sequence of Grease.
Whatever can we expect next? A bubble perm? Leg-warmers? A resurgence in interest in roller discos? Hopefully all of the above - and possibly Heath Ledger in matching leather. Watch this space!
And to be more exact: a National Treasure in Chanel.
The never-knowingly-ugly Diane Kruger stepped out in Tokyo for the Japanese premiere of National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets. And as always, she looked impossibly beautiful, yet ever so slightly quirky.
The dress she's wearing is from Chanel Couture's 2006 Fall collection; and those lovely snowflake-style motifs make for a lovely wintery touch, dontcha think? No wonder the lovely lass is beaming. Now if only that security guard fella would stop listening to his Walkman, everything would be perfect. Still, never mind. You keep smiling away, Diane!
My, isn't Paris's little sister looking all grown up?!
Nicky Hilton stepped out in the wintry LA sunshine yesterday, sporting skinny blue jeans with black boots, a black V-neck top and a black-and-white jacket. Topped off, of course, by a black bag and black sunglasses. Oh, and two heart-shaped pendants.
The result: a cross between Jemima Khan, Liz Hurley and Kate Moss. And not very Nicky Hilton at all. How very strange.
Britney Spears was showing off her latest accessory yesterday. They're small, they're furry... no it's not the Olsen twins or a pair of slippers. It's puppies!
Britney and her cousin-slash-assistant Ali Sims went out shopping - in matching T-shirts and skinny jeans - in LA yesterday. More precisely, they went window-shopping for little doggies in a local pet store.
Yes, I'm afraid Britney may have handled the goods - but she didn't take any home. Aww. But look at their ikkle faces! And their ikkle sunglasses! Erm, sorry. Think I was looking at the wrong part of the picture there for a moment.
Take a look at this picture The X Factor's Niki in a lovely frock - because it's probably the last one you'll see.
Yes, the warbling dinner lady from Birmingham is now sadly out of the show - meaning that it's now likely to be won by the scary monk from The Da Vinci Code, aka Rhydian.
But Niki gave it her all, singing first 'Songbird' (exactly like Eva Cassidy) and then 'One Moment In Time' (not quite like Whitney Houston). And at least she looked gorgeous and all J.Lo-like when she performed the latter. Although sadly that's where the similarity between their careers ends.
Tune in next week to find out who wins the series - and to see what the finalists were wearing. Right now I'm willing to place good money on Rhydian sporting a shiny grey suit; Ray - I mean, Leon - sporting a tux with the bow tie 'casually' undone; and Same Difference dressed as Tony Christie and Peter Kay singing 'Is This The Way To Amarillo'. Find out if I'm right next week.
So here's Kate Moss's latest airport style. Granted, it's not that different from her previous airport style. But as we know, any minor Kate Moss style change must be covered, so here I am, reporting to you from the fashion front line.
And today, that fashion front line is situated in New York*. Because this is what Kate looked like as she landed at JFK airport yesterday.
The jeans and "those" boots are familiar, of course - but yes, Kate has done it again, and worn something ever-so-similar-yet-ever-so-slightly-different from something which she's already been seen out in. Namely: that grey and black striped top, and that black hoody.
Watch this space for more thrilling updates from Kate's New York Wardrobe - Coming Soon!
Sienna Miller was snapped out in the streets of London yesterday, looking just about as happy as anyone can look when they've just come back to Britain after a holiday in Mexico. In December.
That said, she did look rather dapper - if a little Olsen Twin-slash-Michael-Jackson-like - in a swing coat, trilby, sunglasses, leggings and big cosy Ugg boots. If you to copy her folorn orphan - I mean, 'cosy winter' - style, take a look at our Fab Winter Coats List. It's guaranteed to keep any forlorn Victorian child cosy this Christmas.
Now, I know what you're thinking. "Hasn't Marc Bannerman put on a bit of weight?" Or possibly: "I'm sure that lovely Marc Bannerman fella was a bit taller in the jungle".
But in fact, you'd be wrong - because this gentleman in the shot with Cerys Matthews isn't Marc Bannerman. But trust us, he was there. "There" being a pub in Wales yesterday - where he met up with his I'm A Celebrity lovebird Cerys.
Marc was wearing a very un-fetching puffa vest and flat cap for his pub date - is it any wonder we're not showing you that picture? - while Cerys looked rather more fetching in a buttoned-up military-style coat, black skinnies and ankle boots. Nice to see that while she can only apparently declare her love for Marc in a newspaper while wearing lacy undies, when she's in person she can actually do it wearing warm clothes. Ahh.
Yes, anything Jordan can-can do, Paris Hilton can-can do better.
While Katie Price is swanning around department stores promoting her new perfume 'Stunnning', Paris Hilton is doing the exact same thing over on the other side of the Pond.
Here she was yesterday at Macy's in Miami, meeting and greeting 'fans' as she launched her new perfume 'Can Can'. Sadly, she refrained from wearing a frilly dress and fishnet tights for the occasion, but she did wear a full-length, cream halterneck dress with big chocolate ice-cream blobs all over it. Or are they shadows? Who knows. Or, indeed, cares. Well, me, clearly. And hopefully you. But apart from that? Nope, I've got no idea, either.
Here's the moment Renee Zellweger hit the red - or rather, green astroturf - carpet for the London premiere of Bee Movie.
And in a move worthy of our very own Liz Hurley, she chose a polka dot Caroline Herrera dress that was split to the thigh - and which unfortunately got caught in a gust of wind and revealed rather more than she intentioned. Oops.
Still, wind wasn't the only weather condition to affect Renee's outfit. She also joked that the rain was making her dress as heavy as her. "It is soaking wet. I am like a sponge," she said. "My dress weighs another six stones."
Six stone (or "stones", even)?! That means Renee either weighs as much as I did when I was about 13, or she's not very good at maths and got her American to British conversion wrong. Let's hope it's the latter, eh?
Well, filming has officially wrapped for the Sex and the City movie in New York City.
But no need to utter a cry of despair over the lack of our regular SATC style updates! We've got your first look at the trailer for the film right here.
The fashion fodder just gets better! Loving the colour on display in this shot. Who will be the most stylish of them all? Will Charlotte and Harry expand their family? Or will Charlotte expand on her Upper East Side style? And what about Samantha and Miranda? Here's hoping both of their boys are still around. Especially that Smith character... And finally, the question we're all asking: what will happen with Carrie and Big? After they revealed his real name on the season finale of the show, will they still even call him Big?
The anticipation is killing me! Good thing I can click here and watch the full trailer over and over again for, um, the next five months. But Sarah Jessica Parker's Stylefile will lend some comfort too.
And you thought OSOYOU.com was just about shopping? We like to think of it as a bit of support network. All SATC addicts welcome.
At the beginning of the week I was waxing lyrical about Ms Lopez's beautiful shiny eye make-up in the video for her new single Hold it, Don't drop it. And now Ms Reid has invested in some shiny eyes of her very own.
Coincidence? I think not!
Tara's version of the sparkly eyes are much more subtle and wearable than Jen's and I, for one, rather like them!
To get some metallic make up ideas of your very own check out the Metallic make-up list. After all, if two celebs have done it, it must be a trend.......

.....at GQ Magazine's 'Men of the Year' Celebrations. (See what I did there?)
Hayden looked glamourous and sophisticated at the awards held in Hollywood last night. She wore a short monochrome dress with an asymetric bodice and ruffles at the hem.
I particularly like the Eighties block colouring and the unusual point-detail on the bodice. Hayden finished off the look with square-toed heels and a slick of red lipstick, cleverly avoiding any jewellery that might detract from the well-structured frock.
The overall look is more than just a little chic!
Judging by this picture, monochrome is definitely back. And the lovely Miss Panettiere of course, never went away.......
Every night she has to put on a gorgeous frock and go to another premiere for her latest film Atonement. But at least she's good at it!
Last night was the LA premiere of the new movie, and Ms Knightley pulled out all the stops.
Keira's beautiful peach dress looks incredible and reminds me of something from Swan Lake: very floaty and feminine.
I'm also a big fan of her black and grey round-toed heels (though i'm not sure i'd have put them with that dress)
Still, they gave a very girly dress a tough and slight masculine edge. And 'girly with a tough edge' is a perfect description of the lovely Kiera if ever I heard it - as a glance at the cover of this month's Interview magazine will show you!

Before I get to the good stuff, can I pause to comment on how gorgeous Victoria Beckham looks in this picture?
There's no reason to be shy Vicki. Your make-up looks flawless as usual.
Granted she's on her way onto the stage for another stop on the Spice Girls tour, but that shade of brunette does wonders for her complexion. Seriously makes me consider going back to my own roots...
Okay, so back to the story. Posh graces the cover of US Elle for January, wearing a fab pair of braces, and is candid about her erm, talent.
"You know, I've never been that good at anything, to be completely honest," she says. "I was never going to be the best singer or the best dancer or the best actress. I was never a 'natural'.'
Well, we all knew that the Spice Girls didn't come out of the most 'natural' of circumstances. But don't sell yourself short, Ms. Beckham.
It could be that she has found her true calling in fashion. The dVb line is doing well, she's the new face for mega brand Marc Jacobs, and she's trying her hand a styling. Apparently she recently styled actor Jack Nicholson for a shoot with US mag Parade.
Even more reason for us to be checking out her Stylefile then.
I have a feeling we'll be seeing even more of Vicki. Didn't think it was possible, did you?
As if it wasn't bad enough that we have to see Kate wear those over-the-knee boots everyday, now Stella McCartney has got in on the act too!
Kate and Stella are shown leaving Kate's house to go for lunch together, and not only are they wearing similar tight black boots, they're oversized black coats are identical as well.
Stella teamed hers with black leggings and a black button up sweater, whilst Kate teamed hers with an oversized clutch and her favourite jeans.
Well, what else did you expect?
Kate isn't exactly famed for her varied wardrobe choices, but this boot obsession is getting beyond a joke. Here's hoping after lunch Stella takes her shoe shopping, eh?

No no, I'm sure Reese and her gorgeous Jake Gyllenhall will be celebrating Christmas together this year.
But on set filming the new movie Four Christmases in San Francisco, Reese is getting cosy with Jennifer Aniston's ex and funny man Vince Vaughn.
Nice for her to have a couple of men around during the holidays. Especially when Reese's ex-husband Ryan Phillippe is Christmas shopping with rumoured flame Abbie Cornish.
Nothing like a few handsome men and a Christmas movie to get you in the mood for the Christmas season is there?
Well, maybe the prospect of presents under the tree... better get to making your Christmas Wishlist on OSOYOU.com!

I know who... sorry, I mean what I'm adding to mine.
Our girl Amy had some good news yesterday as nominees for the 50th Grammy Awards were announced. Her debut album Back to Black has won her six nominations, including Album of the Year.
Fergie and rapper Akon (who was recently arrested for being physically violent towards a fan at a concert) were on hand to announce the nominees and both celebrated nominations of their own.
But it was Kanye West who came out on top with a total of eight noms. This will be the third time he is up for Album of the Year for Graduation, making it a hat trick for his trilogy of uni-themed albums.
I must say that this musical powerhouse of a bloke would top my list of nominees for Most Gorgeous and Stylish Men.
Kanye is a regular on the front row during fashion weeks in New York and Paris and has a signature flair for style.
Here he is shopping in Beverly Hills yesterday, looking particularly scrumptious in a casual black jacket, blue jeans and a pair of retro Air Jordan trainers.
Too bad he has a fiancé to accompany him to the awards...
But, let me just say for the record that if she for some reason can't make it, I would be happy to step in.
No, she's not having an Ugly Betty moment. We're talking the kind that hold your trousers up. And the kind that can very strategically cover you up.
The December issue of Interview magazine has Keira posing seductively in black braces, white trousers and opera-length black gloves. All she needed for the perfect smoulder was a deep red pout.
Braces are back ladies. Victoria Beckham is on the cover of US ELLE in braces as well. But surprisingly she was the one with a top on. Not a problem though as the gorgeous Keira is enough to have us reconsider our lingerie. Good thing there's this handy list of stylish braces to help out.

I’ve been missing a daily dose of Sienna style. And she didn’t disappoint on her return. Does anything say jetset better than a glamorous fur hat?
Ms. Miller looked as though she was fresh off the Trans-Siberian Railway today in as she strolled the streets of London with her non-boyfriend Rhys Ifans. Yet the pair flew back from their holiday in Mexico yesterday. Looks like Rhys have had the most of the sun.
The actress instead opted to switch off the beach-bum style as soon as she hit the cold in favour of a chic casual look topped with a fur hat. She looked perfectly stylish in a military-inspired blazer, cosy jumper, slim grey jeans and elegant black knee-high boots. How she managed to look so pristine in this weather is beyond me.
Brave enough to try one of these hats for yourself? Click on the similar topper below to get Sienna's look. Or check out her Stylefile for more of her effortless chic.
Word to the wise though, don't forget your umbrella. Nothing says failed wannabe jetsetter like a dollop of wet fur on your head.
I'm A Celebrity may be over - but Janice Dickinson's publicity-seeking antics are continuing unabated.
First, she's been spilling yet more beans about her wild days as the world's first supermodel - including the revelation that she once had a threesome with singer Grace Jones and actor Dolph Lundgren. As you do. "People ask me what it was like... but I don't remember. We were all so high," explains the non-plussed Janice.
Janice has also slammed The One And Only Victoria Beckham - saying "she does nothing for me" - although has admitted to a penchant for Simon Cowell. "I'm the female Simon Cowell. He said I'm the scariest woman he's ever met," she told The Sun. "I asked him why he never dated me and he said I was too intimidating."
Meanwhile, back in the urban jungle that is LA, Janice has been playing up to the cameras - as you can see. Snapped here yesterday making a phone call to a friend in her mini dress, leather jacket and knee-high boots, Janice mugged happily for the paparazzi. Ah, you can take the celebrity out of the jungle - but you can't take the supermodel out of the celebrity, eh?

Another day, another man for Lindsay Lohan, or so the rumours go. Heath Ledger is yesterdays news (apparently the two had a fling over Thanksgiving), and today it’s Paris Hilton’s ex, Stavros Niarchos.
Apparently Paris arrived at a Hollywood party wanting to hook up with her on/off love interest Stavros, but he had already left to go and hang out with Lindsay. Needless to say Paris was unimpressed by the incident, but on the plus side at least that’s one more name to strike off the Christmas card list.
As for Lindsay, she seems happy enough here, maybe that’s because she’s wearing a stylish leather jacket, rather than that trucker cap/snowboarder ensemble we’ve been seeing of late.
Nice hair too, maybe even a little Paris Hilton-esque pre-crop. Next thing you know she'll have dog-napped Tinkerbell and be calling Nicky Hilton 'sis. Watch out Paris!

As for that woman on his arm - well, that's his Brazilian model girlfriend Camilla Alves. As in: she's a model. Not a model girlfriend. Although apparently they were all over each other all night - so perhaps she is, after all?

Proof, it it were needed, that you can't go wrong with a Little Black Dress was out last night: in the form of Anne Hathaway.
Normally, Anne rivals only Katie Holmes for the Who Can Dress The Most Frumpily For A Twentysomething award. But last night, at the launch of the new Dolce & Gabbana fragrance in New York, she actually looked - whisper it - not very frumpy at all.
The cute dress, the cute curls, the wool coat, the clutch bag, the heels... Yep, it was all there in all its not-too-frumpy glory. Bravo, Anne. Now if only we can get you out in a Little Miss Christmas T-shirt too, you'll really be dressing your age! Erm, possibly...

Ok, not really. But wouldn't he make a cute one, with that cheeky grin?
Yep, dear old Billie Piper has chosen New Years Eve as the date to wed her fiancé, Laurence Fox.
And, wait for it... the reception will be held at a pub owned by Chris Evans!
The couple will get married in a church in Midhurst, West Sussex. They'll then travel to the nearby village of Lickfold where the reception will be held in Chris’ pub, The Lickfold Inn. Original.
Chris will help the couple and their guests celebrate, partying on through to 2008. How sweet.
All that remains to be seen is whether Billie opts for the tradiotnal white dress, or revives the vest top/ sarong combo she wore to her first wedding.
Judging from this pic, my money's on the sarong - though might that be a tad chilly at New Year?
The Chanel party is the event every fashion lover wants to go to, and naturally Kate Moss was top of the invite list. Held at the ever hip Nobu Berkley in London, fashion A-listers flocked to this exclusive event.
Kylie Minogue, Thandie Newton, Kelly Osbourne, Natalie Imbruglia, and Irina Lazareanu (the model Kate picked for French Vogue when she was the guest editor), were all in attendance. Whilst Chanel spearhead, Karl Lagerfeld arrived true to form in his trademark dark aviators. Not surprisingly though the attention was on Kate as usual, and on the style stakes she certainly didn’t disappoint.
Dressed in a black tux-style sequin wrap top with satin detail, and charcoal skinny jeans, Kate continued to work that sexy masculine look which she’s perfected in the last few weeks. Shoe-boots are the footwear choice of the season, and Kate’s gorgeous black examples, with white laces and trim, demonstrated why. Whilst the finishing touch is likely to be the most coveted item on display, a black patent quilted Chanel bag.

And just to prove it, she wore this T-shirt while she was out Christmas shopping. Yes, our Paris is nothing if not literal.
If, like me, you've failed to get into the rampant consumerism -sorry, I mean: festive spirit - of December, then hopefully this picture will change your mind. Or at least confirm that there are other people out getting into it for you.
Because Paris Hilton - complete with skinny jeans, sunglasses and jaunty hat - left the Kitson store in Los Angeles yesterday, laden with shopping bags full of Christmas goodies. Including a toy Santa Claus. And if that doesn't make her Little Miss Christmas, then frankly, I don't know what does.

Well it could be true. Her new svelte figure that she's been showing off on the cover of GQ would suggest as much.
Obviously though I'm speaking about her choice of footwear. We enjoyed the novelty of her dresses with trainers at first, but here she just looks like a commuting city worker. And not in a successful working woman way. What's wrong with throwing on a pair of simple, comfortable flats? I just don't get it.
Above ankle, it's not bad though. Her tweed coat and knit dress are perfect for the pub lunch she's heading to here. Not that she looks happy about it.
Cheer up Lil! You're working on your next album, surely it must be an exciting time. But perhaps the frown is caused by a feud with a certain superstar producer? Mark Ronson has been quoted as saying, 'Lily has been working on her new album, but I’m probably not going to be on it as she hasn’t been returning any of my calls.'
Lily Allen a diva in training? Maybe just a diva in trainers. Seriously though Lily, take a gander at our Top Ten Fabulous Flats list. A pair of pretty shoes will do wonders for your mood.
Well, anything Reese Witherspoon can do, Lindsay Lohan can do... erm, not quite as well.
Not content to see Reese snag Jake Gyllenhaal, it appears that Lindsay has managed to get her greasy mitts on That Other Fella From Brokeback Mountain - namely Heath Ledger.
According to gossip guru Perez Hilton, Lindsay has dumped that Ordinary Bloke she's been dating in favour of Aussie hunk Mr Ledger. NW magazine in Australia says that the pair met at a bar in New York over Thanksgiving, and "hit it off straight away” (funny how people always do that, isn't it?).
“When she left the club she started texting him straight away and they hooked up a few times while she was still in New York," reports the mag. "They were meeting late at night for sex. It was purely physical.”
Ay caramba! This, from the woman who used to 'date' Calum Best? Surely not!
(PS. Watch this space for 'Lindsay's New Man, New Look', coming soon, no doubt).

While the rest of us were safely tucked up in our beds at that hour, London's rock 'n' roll elite were being very, erm, rock 'n' roll. They were running around at 4am buying ice lollies and everything. I know! Crazy!
To be exact: Amy Winehouse was out buying ice lollies at 4am. And just two hours later, Sadie Frost arrived at Amy's place with a mystery man (copyright: all tabloids).
Is she taking her baker boy hat thing just a little too far, and started to actually be a baker boy? Was she delivering an early morning round of white tin loaves to Amy's house? Who knows. I like those cropped jeans, though.

Which is just as well, because judging from what she was wearing, she could possibly do with a new outfit.
Holly - the new face of Oli - was just one of the celebs at the launch of Warehouse's Spring/Summer collection at Big Sky Studios last night. The champagne flowed - natch - as the likes of Lisa Snowdon, Tamzin Outhwaite, Angela Griffin, Susie Amy, Mel Blatt and Sarah Cawood watched the new collection catwalk show from the front row.
And what trends can we expect next year? Floral maxi dresses, '70s-style retro denim and tailored safari suits - just check out the snapshot from their catwalk below.
Well, it's about time I'm A Celebrity fashion hit the high street, isn't it?

Poor old Sarah Matravers, eh? She's had a hard time of it lately.
Not only has the misfortunate girl been pouring her heart out to Grazia magazine this week, she even squeezed another interview with Closer magazine into her schedule just to really make it clear that she was, you know, REALLY UPSET.
Ranting at love rival Cerys Matthews and ex Marc Bannerman, who enjoyed a jungle fling on I'm a Celeb, she said:
"This is a man she's only known for a week, a man who she knew had a girlfriend. It's either incredibly cold-hearted or incredibly screwed up. They deserve each other, I hope they rot in hell."
And maybe they will, Sarah. But until that time, why not cheer yourself up a wee bit by taking a look at the Chritsmas wish list we've created for you on OSOYOU.com?
Yes, another day, another day in the life of Paris Hilton's ever-changing moods. I mean: style. Got lost in a Style Council song there for a moment. Sorry.
Last seen wearing a dress with opaque tights - well, who isn't right now? I know I am as I write this* - Paris was out last night looking very 'rawk' in a red 'rawk' T-shirt, black 'rawk' leather jacket, indigo skinny 'rawk' jeans and red 'rawk' shoes.
If you want to copy Paris's look, check out our Red Accessories List on OSOYOU.com. 'Rawk' motorbike not included.

Long gone are the days of the OC for Mischa Barton, and rumours are that the iconic star might be spending more time off camera than on it.
Apparently Ms Barton intends on turning her hand to producing rather than acting, and though we’re sure she’ll be great at it, we can’t help but anticipate a bit of a Mischa-shaped style void in our lives. Good job then, that she’s still gracing the streets of Beverley Hills in enviable outfits like this, for us all to admire and be inspired by.
Like here, her rocker t-shirt and oversized scarf (celebrity staples these days) look perfect together. Whilst even the more niche market leather-leggings are flattering, as well as ultra cool (other wearers include fashion royalty, Kate Moss and Agyness Deyn). Finally, studding is one of the season’s biggest and hottest detail trends, and Mischa works the look perfectly in these to-die-for Louboutins.
Verdict? Another storming success on the fashion front Mischa!

Okay, so it's not exactly front page news, but this is the first time we've seen them papped together in weeks!
Their attire was fairly unremarkable but flight worthy. Victoria in a black vest, black trousers, brown scarf and her ubiquitous aviator sunnies. David looked sporty in a beige fleece jacket. Not exactly their red carpet uniforms, but they are still colour co-ordinated!
Despite reports that Posh was much too nervous to have her husband front row at the Spice Girls first concert, he looks to be travelling in tow for the North American leg of their tour. He had missed the Spice Girls' very first performance on the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, but a few million people missed half of it anyways. The show which aired in the US last night left out the girls performing their new single 'Headlines' in favour of just showing the military-inspired rendition of 'Stop'.
Spice fans will just have to snag tickets to a concert for the full show! Worth it even just for a glimpse of David I think. I have my priorities!
Renee Zellweger shunned skimpy event wear for a cosy classic at the Bee Movie presentation in Rome last night.
Ol' Ren proved that although chunky knits are on trend this season, a lightweight knitted dress can look just as good.
The dress in question was a long sleeved olive green number that matched perfectly with the green carpet.
She teamed it with black pointed-toe courts and a beautiful gold cuff bracelet. Renee avoided another trend too, opting to go for bare legs instead of black opaque tights.
Although maybe you should be embracing the tights trend, Renee - I spy some knobbly knees!
The very un-shabby James McAvoy turned up to the premiere of Atonement in New York last night with some moody-looking bird on his arm... Keira something... 'Knightley', I think.
Not that we were looking at her. Because James is surely the latest contender for Thinking Woman's Crumpet. He's smart. He's talented. He's funny. Probably. I don't know, I've never met the man - but going on his choice of roles alone (Shameless, Last King Of Scotland, Atonement, etc), I feel like I know him. In fact, I know his wife's brother, so that counts, doesn't it? I mean, that practically makes him my brother-in-law.
And if it's not too immoral to fancy one's brother-in-law: James looked ridiculously dishy on the red carpet last night. So dishy, in fact, that he's going to have to be added to the Gorgeous Men In Equally Gorgeous Clothes Group over on OSOYOU.com. Not that James's clothes are as gorgeous as him, though. Obviously.

Apart from the fact that she's stepping down from her private jet, Geri Halliwell could easily have been heading to Woodstock in this outfit.
The Spice Girls landed in San Jose, California yesterday for their next concert and disembarked in casual attire. Each of the ladies still had their unique personalities in check though. Mel C in purple velour, Posh in plain form-fitting separates... Geri in a baggy pair of worn in jeans, flip flops, woven leather belt, and bohemian blouse with her long ginger locks in a centre part.
Sure it's still warm and sunny over there, and it is the 40th anniversary of the Summer of Love this year, but it looks like Geri has left behind the shocking style that made her famous in favour of an Earth Mother look. No surprise that she named her kid Bluebell then is it?
To be honest though, she has me coveting one of those tops for myself. And isn't it handy that there is a list of boho blouses on OSOYOU.com? Of course I'll have to put a polo neck underneath mine in this weather, but I'm not exactly famous for my midriff anyway.
Apparently one designer outfit is not enough for one evening for the recently awarded Model of the Year.
At the Burberry fragrance launch held at Koko in London, Agyness looked smouldering in a fringed grey mini dress and ankle boots, both of which I’m pretty sure I recognise from the Burberry SS 08 catwalk show.
However, as Agyness left Koko, she was pictured in another outfit altogether. Clearly making one fashion statement in an evening doesn't cut it for the Lancashire bred superstar.
Take two then, Ms Deyn steps out in spray-on leather leggings and a gold mesh top, whilst only her grey ankle boots survive the swap.
To see outfit number two, and why any fashion-forward girl needs at least three clothes changes a day click here.
Promise it’ll be worth your while.

This season's metallic trend is getting everywhere!
As well as shiny shoes, shiny dresses and even shiny bras, now those clever folks in Celeb Land have decided we should all have shiny faces!
In the video for her new single, Hold It, Don't Drop It, Jennifer Lopez shows off some very lovely metallic eyes.
The colours make the skin tone of her (already flawless) face look beautiful, and really highlight her stunning features. Anyone else hate her just a little?
If this has inspired you to give up your everyday make-up look and try something a little different, visit our Jennifer Lopez list. Well, if it's good enough for J Lo........

Pete Doherty arrived at Amy Winehouse's flat at 4am this morning clutching his guitar and wearing his staple trilby hat and a rather shabby looking brown mac.
Their World Tour has started, let Spicemania begin all over again!
The first time round I never really liked the music. Or the girl power. But I did really really like the clothes. And this time round the fashions are even better than before. Hurrah!!
I love the vibrant colours, playful tailoring, and that their original persona's are implied in each costume. Baby spice is wearing pink, Scary spice is wearing leopard print and Posh is, well, looking posh really! The outfits are interesting, quirky and, if you have legs like a Spice Girl, actually really wearable. Now if I could only find that brown leather tie of Victoria's to add to my Stylefile......

The Marc Bannerman/ Cerys Matthews/ Sarah Matravers love triangle trio haven’t wasted any time with their kiss and tell stories.
After leaving I’m A Celebrity, Marc and Cerys have reportedly both signed big-money deals to talk about their romance in the jungle. And Sarah was on the front page of Grazia this week talking about Marc’s infidelity.
With all their time bogged down in interviews and photo shoots, I can’t imagine they'll have much time to think about Christmas.
So over at OSOYOU.com, we've been busy little bees, creating Christmas wish lists for each of the trio in order to give them a little helping hand.
And what’s more, with all that extra cash they've made, I’m sure they can afford to splash out.
Spring is already blooming on the red carpet. The British Fashion Awards last week served as a parade of next season's looks, and now Jennifer Gardner is exploring florals at the Los Angeles premiere of her new movie Juno.
For a drop dead gorgeous girl like Jen, she could honestly do better. The dress, a black, white and yellow floral print strapless number, is perfectly meh. Her plain black shoes are predictable.
But my real concern is the hair here. Isn't it a little too big on the sides and a little too flat on top? Perhaps it was a bit humid in LA that night. Dare I say the look is a bit dog-eared?
What do you think? Am I being too harsh? Or could she use a new hair stylist? Chime in OSOYOU.com blog readers and vote in our poll!
Everything about The Queen's outfit as she went to the Royal Variety Performance last night screams 'Perfect Christmas Party Look!'
A white dress covered in sparkly stones teamed with a white fur stole and white satin gloves might be a look only Queen Liz (or maybe the Snow Queen of Narnia) can pull off, but individually each shiny piece will a perfect party outfit maketh.
Along with those shiny gloves which I Must Have Now, I have also fallen in love with Liz's silver T-bar shoes. Bang on the metallic trend, and with a heel low enough to dance the night away, these pumps are fit for a Princess. Or maybe a Queen........

We're used to seeing him splash out on extravagent gifts for his other half, but this week David Beckham has taken generosity to a whole new level.
A level that almost makes you wish you were friends with the Posh One, in fact.
Becks blew a ginormous £50,000 on diamond-encrusted bracelets for his wife and the rest of the Spice Girls, saying he was so nervous about seeing the girls back on stage he bought the bracelets for good luck.
And rather expensive good luck charms they are too. Awww, bless!
It's hard not to hate Victoria Beckham isn't it? Great clothes, sucessful career, and a devilishly handsome and well-dressed man on her arm.
But it looks like her boyfriend Jamie Hince is out to make her just that. Apparently The Kills guitarist kissed another woman in front of Kate's friends at a London nightclub recently. But his cry for attention was lost on the model. According to Grazia, when her friends reported on the kiss she sent a text message to Jamie saying, 'Try harder'.
Now that is the Kate I love. Brash and sassy, albeit with curious taste in boyfriends.
Of course it would seem that she may not be as fond of Jamie as she is of her suede over-the-knee boots! I mean surely shoes often come before men, but this can't be good for the relationship. Kate is seen with these boots more than she is with her man.
Here she is leaving Cipriani in a white fur coat (which begs the question: has Kate been checking out our white coats list?), black skinny jeans and, of course, the boots. First we saw her shopping in them here, during the day here, strolling London here, on a night out here, and on another night out here! That'll make it a total of six times.
When Kate loves something, she really loves it. Careful there, Jamie.
Loving Kate's look? Isn't everyone? Head to her Stylefile to snag some of her style for your own.
Usually when a model leaves ANTM, let’s face it, you see it coming.
Perhaps they performed poorly in the photo-shoot or maybe they just couldn’t control those diva tantrums? Either way, when it comes to their individual evaluation, Tyra Banks gets that look in her eyes, and you know they’re a goner.
Not this time.
Fashion icon Twiggy’s decision to leave the show came as a complete surprise to us all. Twiggy (my second favourite panellist after the scrummy Nigel Barker), has worked on the show since 2003, but was forced to pull out because of ‘scheduling conflicts’.
Her replacement is Czech supermodel Paulina Porizkova, otherwise known as the first celebrity to be voted out of Dancing with the Stars. Not the greatest claim to fame.
Luckily for us, Twiggy will not be leaving the show until cycle ten, so we’ve still got some precious Twiggy viewing time left.
As for Paulina, she might have graced the pages of Vogue and Elle, but she’s got a mountain to climb if she's going to live up to our beloved Twiggy.
Okay, so I'm officially a member of the I Heart Kate Hudson fanclub. Could this girl get any more stylish?
Admittedly I've never really got her taste in men, but her taste in clothes makes up for it. We saw her in London last week looking lovely in pale blue and charcoal grey. And at last night's Movies Rock event in Hollywood she rocked a cute black strapless mini, black opaque tights (If you haven't checked out our list of the best opaques in every price range, get on it!), a killer pair of pointy toe platforms and a sleek red envelope clutch for a pop of colour.
Lately we've noticed a few black on black outfits being accessorised with a great piece of red. But it was Kate's ensemble that had us running to the OSOYOU.com High Street to grab a piece of crimson for our own.
It seems that it's not just Kylie who's branching out into a little designing: this week all the celebs are at it!
Not content with her successful acting career, Ms Panettiere was out and about in LA showing off her new range of designer handbags today, and rather lovely it looks too! The bag is a large patent black leather affair with a gold tag hanging from the strap embossed with the initials HP.
Hayden sported her new bag alongside a cream coat with oversized black buttons and patent gold stiletto heels. The overall look was very grown-up and glamourous: the perfect neutral pallet to emphasise an oversized statement bag!
Looks like Hayden is a fashion hero. (See what I did there!?)

Not content with a sucessful career as a popstar, working with the delectable David Tenant on Doctor Who, and having her own swimwear range, today Kylie Minogue has launched her own range of bedding and the tickets for her latest world tour have gone on sale. Seems like she's only one step away from world domination to me!
The princess of pop is having a rather busy week isn't she? As well as designing new products and preparing for her latest tour, she has also been looking rather lovely. On Friday she left Barcelona Airport sporting black skinny jeans with a fitted black coat, black leather accessories and a leopard print scarf, which added an injection of colour. (As well as matching the theme of her new bedding range) The overall look was demure and sophisticated.
Very World-Leader-chic.....

Tall, dark, handsome, and excellent control of a big green wheely bin........what more could you want from a guy?
Milo Ventimiglia of Heroes fame, sported well-fitting dark jeans and a body hugging white T-shirt as he took care of his recyling yesterday. And rather fetching he looked too. If you have a thing for handsome men who know how to dress well, ala Milo, then join our Gorgeous men in equally gorgeous clothes group, pronto!
And whilst you do that, i'm going to keep daydreaming about Mr Ventimiglia. Ah, to be that T-shirt. Or that wheely bin. Or.....well, you get the idea!

Paris Hilton has had so many 'new looks' this year it's starting to make my head spin! This time Paris has ditched the vamp look she usually favours and replaced it with something more body covering and feminine.
Paris teamed a black and green floral tea dress with black opaque tights, block heels, and the must-have for this party season, a black tuxedo jacket. She accessorised with a bright gold clutch, and her obligatory giant shades and tiny dog combo.
I love everything about this outfit: I even secretly love the little dog. In fact, if you take away the mutt (and maybe put him in my handbag) this outfit wouldn't look out of place on Kate Moss.
Could the undisputed Queen of British fashion have a takeover battle on her hands? Something tells me no. But I have been persuaded to add a tuxedo jacket to my Stylefile. And that little dog too........

Well, the season of I'm A Celebrity is over. The celebrities have all escaped the jungle, stopping only for one last photo call as a cast. Well, some of them at least.
After Christopher Biggins' win over the weekend a few of the contestants scrubbed up to get their picture taken. Among those missing? The elusive Marc Bannerman of course.
While Cerys didn't look bothered posing in a white and pink floral mini dress, red belt and cowboy boots, it's obvious that her rose-coloured glasses are perched firmly on her nose quite literally.
Marc and Cerys were getting cosy in the jungle, much to the dismay of his live-in girlfriend Sarah Matravers, but Marc failed to greet Cerys when she was voted out and for the finale. Cerys insists that she understood and that they've communicated privately. In an interview with News of the World she gushed, "I'm in love with Marc and I think he feels the same. I'd like us to spend the rest of our lives together."
We'll see what's next for the two, but Marc has admitted he "really enjoyed spending time" with Cerys and that it's "best to take things slowly". A little less enthusiastic than your flirtee there, Marc.
The budding romance could be more than just jungle fever after all. But be careful Cerys!
Beyonce Knowles was looking very 'mistletoe and wine' at the Movies Rock event in LA's Kodak Theatre last night.
She wore a bright green, figure-hugging, satin maxi dress that flared out at the bottom, accessorising with silver and jade dangly earrings and gold shoes.
I can’t decide if I like this dress or not. I think it kind of works on Beyonce, emphasising her beautiful curves, but I’m intrigued as to how she managed to walk in it.
And I know I could certainly never pull it off (let alone pull it on); I’d need the most magic pants ever created.
It's a sentence I never thought I'd write, but it seems Lindsay Lohan's boyfriend partied far too hard for her liking.
Lindsay has ditched snowboarder Riley Giles less than a week after they returned from a holiday in New York. Riley spent the week partying hard without Lindsay whilst she wanted them to stay in and spend some quality time together. All together now, awwww.
At least she hasn't let the break-up get her down in the style stakes. The Orange One was spotted out and about this weekend in a zebra print vest teamed with black leggings and some rather beautiful black leather accessorises- and with a handbag that lovely, who needs a man on their arm anyway, eh Lindsay?

Wow, Jennifer Lopez, you look blooming marvellous!
All (terrible) jokes aside, J to the Lo is positively blossoming right now, as proved by this pic of her looking stunning at Movies Rock in Hollywood's Kodak Theatre last night.
Jen pulled out all the stops, wearing a long white Grecian-style maxi dress and accessorising with a gold clutch and beautiful silver cuff bracelet, leaving her hair down in big, voluptuous waves.
At the UK premiere of the Golden Compass in London’s Leicester square Nicole wowed fans and fashion addicts alike in a satin champagne evening gown.
Needless to say then, at the US premiere for the star-studded movie, hopes were high that Nicole would be giving another style master-class.
Sadly it was not to be.
Don’t worry though, Ms Kidman didn’t have a sartorial slip up, she just never arrived.
So for all of you, like myself, mourning a Nicole no-show, here’s a recent photo of her looking striking as ever, as she arrives at Claridges in London.
Dressed in an elegant jacket which gradually went from black to leopard print at the waist, and a black pencil skirt, she looked as sleek and sophisticated as ever. Whilst her vampish scarlet lipstick complimented her outfit and natural make-up.
If you fancy getting the Nicole Kidman look, check out our leopard list for that ultimate key piece which will make an outift.
And hey, who needs a premiere when you can look this good everyday?
Kate Moss was out in London last night doing what she does best: wearing something just ever so slightly different from the last time she was out in London.
Heading out to see The Kills in concert - well, they are her boyfriend's band, so it would be rude not to - Kate was wearing her skinny black jeans with her favourite over-the-knee black suede boots. But instead of her erstwhile tuxedo jacket, she donned a cute cropped fur jacket.
(I say "cute" on the proviso that it was fake fur. If it was real fur, then lots of other words, none of them "cute", spring to mind).
And if you want to copy Kate's style, then the good news is, you can - with this lovely, nay cute, little cropped faux fur jacket from Marks And Spencer, handpicked for OSOYOU, no less, by celebrity stylist Julian Bennett. Just go to Julian's Profile to see more of his brilliant style selections.
That's it. Hope has run out. All Hope is gone. The X Factor is Hope-less.
Yes, girl band Hope have missed out on a place in the The X Factor semi-final. Just in case you hadn't got the gist from the above.
They got the boot last night - but what nice boots they were. Knee-high black stilettos, which they wore with these great Little Black Dresses for their second song of the night, a "rendition" of We Will Rock You.
But looking fabulous wasn't enough to save the day. What with this being a talent competition, and everything.
Still, I'm sure this won't be the last we see of these five lasses. Sadly, it might not be the last we see of Rhydian and Same Difference, either... but you can but Hope, can't you?
Knowing that the only thing guaranteed to get you more publicity than going to a party is Going To A Party With Another Famous Blonde, Paris Hilton joined Britney Spears for her birthday outing in Beverly Hills last night. Honestly, it was like Christmas had come early.
And stepping out from behind Britney's - literal - shadow, Paris proved that she actually could do Understated Elegance for once. Yes, it really was like Christmas had come early.
Yes, not for Paris, the Elton John circa 1976 look. Instead, she sported a muted check mini dress, a muted checked coat, black opaque tights, brown shoes and a brown leather bag.
The overall effect was slightly reminiscent of Julie Andrews when she arrives at the Von Trapp family's house for the first time - minus the hat and guitar case - but all the nicer for that. And I don't say that often about Julie Andrews's style, I can tell you.
Britney Spears stepped out in, erm, style, for her birthday celebrations last night.
Wearing a Very Very Little Black Dress, black heels, black choker, white fur-lined jacket and big brown sunglasses - and leaning on at least one person for support - Britney and pals (including cousin Ali Sims here) hit a party in Beverly Hills.
But wait - because what's that in the background there? Could it be..? Why, yes, I do believe it's one Paris Hilton!
So what was she wearing? (Note the emphasis there - as opposed to Britney, who's more a case of "what was she wearing?"). Well, folks, watch this space for Part Two...
Back together, that is. And back together in London, no less.
Girls Aloud's Nadine was all glamour, all tan and all smiles - not too surprisingly - as she arrived at The Astoria in London last night for G.A.Y.'s fund-raising event in aid of the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Also in attendance were the rest of Girls Aloud, Kelly and Sharon Osbourne, John Barrowman and Sophie Ellis-Bextor - but I'm afraid all of them paled into insignificance, dear readers, when I saw this picture.
Yes, despite all the long-distance odds, despite the language barrier, the romance between newly blonde Nadine and her dashing American Desperate Housewives actor is back on. It brings a veritable tear to one's eye, doesn't it? Gawd bless 'em.
No, it's not another small dog. It's an Alice band.
And very fetching it looks, too. Paris sported it on a trip to a club (where else?) in Hollywood on Thursday night. Or, to be exact: to the opening of a new club called GOA. Also in attendance were Sean Stewart (I think he's one of Rod's sprogs) and Avril Lavigne. But neither of them was wearing an Alice band, so Paris is the one who's made it onto the OSOYOU blog today. Sorry, guys.
And if you'd like to copy Paris's style, you might like to get your mitts on this rather similar, and very luxurious, Alice band by Miu Miu. Because anything Paris Hilton can do, you can do better - right?
Nicky Hilton went out shopping for a lamp yesterday. Which is spooky, because I went out shopping for a lamp the other day, too. I got mine from IKEA in Croydon, whereas Nicky got hers from Fantasy Lamp in Hollywood - but apart from those minor details, it really is uncanny.
We weren't dressed too dissimilarly, either. I wore a shirt with black trousers, too, though I stopped short at flip flops because I was in Croydon, and not Los Angeles.
And if you'd like to copy Nicky's style, too, then just do what she did - and go for the latest trend for tartan, without going quite the whole fashion hog. There are lots of gorgeous grey, white and black tartan items out there, like Nicky's shirt, this coat from Principles and this bag from Evans - both of which can be found in our brilliant Tartan List on OSOYOU. Now all you need is a tartan lamp - et voila! Your faux Scottish look is complete.
Take That made a triumphant return to the London stage last night. And for all those of you who weren't there - here's what you were missing:
Casting my expert fashionista eye over Gary, Jason, Mark and Howard, I think I can now deliver my Take That Style Verdict, which is: they didn't look too shabby at all, did they?
Dressed in grey shirts and grey suits (and in Mark's case, a grey waistcoat), the boys - who are the new faces of the Marks And Spencer Autograph range - cut dashing figures on stage, even when faced with women in skimpy tops and stripey pants. They're such professionals, I don't know how they do it.
Bless the lovely Christopher Biggins. Pictured here taking part in yesterday's Bushtucker Bonanza - in which he had to eat a witchetty grub, a crocodile's foot, three cockroaches, a kangaroo penis and a kangaroo testicle (as you do, on I'm A Celebrity) - the TV entertainer was crowned king of the reality jungle last night.
Fortunately, Christopher put a shirt on for his big moment, and, wearing his literal crown of leaves, thanked the Great British Public for making him their winner. "It's been a wonderful, wonderful experience and I can't believe that I'm here, that I've done it," he gushed. "I've made wonderful friends and I've done wonderful things that I never thought I would do. Unbelievable fun, it was just the best."
Aww. Now, onto other things: who do you think's going to spill their beans first this Sunday - Cerys or Marc?
Well, when I say "winter sport", I obviously mean: "a sport she's doing in the winter". As opposed to skiing, say, or curling.
Because as you can see, the lovely Kristin Davis is doing neither of those things. She is, however, running - in Central Park, to be precise, on the set of the Sex And The City movie. Which could turn out to be as long as Ben Hur, judging by the length of time they've been filming it.
But I digress - because we really should get to more important matters, like how you can steal Kristin's winter running style. And the good news is that we've rustled up matches for all her items right here - just click on the pictures below on the left to find out more about each, and buy them. Don't say we don't treat you right at OSOYOU...

Hmm, is that a cape or a pair of wings you're wearing Miss Eva Herzigova?
Either way the model's unusual cover up surely turned a lot of heads at the Bambi Awards in Düsseldorf last night. In a silver mini dress, fierce black patent heels and a cape of white feathers she was a stunner on the red carpet.
Doing a double take though? Us too. Being a Victoria's Secret model must have it's perks though as it looks like she's sporting a lovely pair of nude knickers. Of course she has posed for Playboy, so she's not exactly shy. But who would be with those legs?
The one thing I'm loving in this outfit though? Her black satin clutch in the shape of a bow tie. The best bit is that you can get one just like it right here on OSOYOU.com. Just click on the picture below to buy it for yourself.
While you're at it take a cruise around the High Street on OSOYOU.com. There may be a few revealing dresses up for grabs if you're up to the task.
MIAOW! That’s one statement you’re making there, Rihanna.
This shocker was snapped at the Bambi 2007 Awards yesterday in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Leopard print is one of those patterns you have to wear very carefully. Particularly if you choose a full-length dress.
It's a shame, because you can see Rihanna's tried hard, matching the highlights in her hair with the dress. But seriously, what's with the purple shoes?
Now I'm sure I learnt at primary school that orange and purple are at opposite ends of the colour spectrum. Surely our lovely Rihanna learnt that too?
I’m usually quite impressed with Rihanna's red carpet 'wow factor'. But this time? You've let me down, girlfriend.
Tom Cruise may have picked up an award at the Bambi Awards in Germany last night (bit like the Oscars), but it was the woman by his side that stole the limelight.
Katie Holmes, who's been dressing a little too old for her youthful 28 years lately, has had a makeover.
The result is a sexy, sultry, sophisticate, and yummy mummy.
Starting with the hair, her new fringe and pixie bob set off her sapphire eyes, and give her a youthful and yet chic radiance.
Her simple strapless dress exposes her slim shoulders and arms, whilst the dark gold sequin cape adds just the right amount of shine and glamour.
To be fair, Tom doesn’t let the side down in a sharp black suit with satin panelling, but on the night all eyes must have been on her.
Let’s hope this is the beginning of a fashion revival for Katie. Watch this space to find out.
We see her all the time now, but it looks like we'll be hearing a lot more from Lindsay Lohan in the future as she prepares to take another stab at recording a record.
These days you're not a real pop star unless you've snagged yourself a rap collaboration. And Lindsay may be in talks with 50 Cent to work on something for her next album. According to her blabber mouth dad Michael the two have known each other for some time. "They're talking about working together. Nothing's firm yet, but they're in talks," Mr. Lohan said.
Earlier this year we would have doubted Lindsay's father as a credible source. But after the Lohan family reunion in New York City last week we're hoping it's true. Would this mean that Lindsay would be working on some 'hard core gangster rap'?
We wouldn't put anything past LiLo at this point. She continues to surprise us. However, she hasn't really had any surprises in store for us in the style department. We've seen these sunnies a few times, and the boots and jeans with a smock blouse aren't exactly dazzling. Here's hoping she and Fiddy will be hitting the event circuit together so she can start working the red carpet again.
But for now, we'll keep it casual with her by checking out her Stylefile.
Babydoll dress, new dark 'do and even (drumroll, please) high heels?
Snapped as she was leaving Joan’s On Third in Los Angeles yesterday, Pink was obviously proud of her style transformation.
But she obviously couldn’t completely leave the old look behind, sneaking in a little edgy style by teaming her outfit with this lovely leather jacket.
Oh, and there are those black opaques again. I don’t think there is a single star in the entire world who doesn’t own at least one pair of these this winter!
I'm impressed, Pink - but don't go changing too much, y'hear?
And now we spot Holly Branson, daughter of Richard Branson, leaving hip London nightspot Boujis in one.
Maybe she's pinched Kate's and that's why she she's hurrying off?
It’s definitely time I made the investment in a white coat. I've always been deterred because of the speed they look dirty, but clearly they’re a good omen. After all, both wearers have had their fair amount of good fortune (dating a Prince, Daddy’s a billionaire).
If I get even a fraction of their good luck I’ll be sorted, money well spent I think you’d agree.
Whilst I’m at it, I may as well get Holly’s boots too, they might not be invested with good karma, but they're just so pretty…
Cerys Matthews became the eighth ‘celebrity’ to be voted out of the jungle last night on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.
But she was left disappointed, in fact, ‘gutted’, to discover that fellow flirtee Marc Bannerman wasn't there to greet her.
In her interview with Ant and Dec, Cerys said: “You agree to do it and you think about the bugs, but it’s not about the bugs, it’s about the people and the emotions…”
Mmm. you certainly hit the nail on the head there, love. Am I right in assuming you're talking about one particular person and his emotions?
I can't wait to see Cerys' style-over when she gets back home. After all, she's got a man to win, right? I think it may be a case of watch this space...
Is it just me or have we been throwing out a number of old fashion rules this year? Mini skirts after 35? If you've got the pins, why not. Wearing black with navy? Linda Evangelista gave us the go ahead last night.
Is there a more credible source than one of the original supermodels?
The Canadian model was out in London last night to celebrate the switching on of the Christmas lights at Stella McCartney's Mayfair boutique. She paired a black headscarf and polo neck with a navy wool coat, proving that the age old rule should be thrown out for good. Black and navy? Why it's the new black on black! Note the addition of her pewter satin top. The key to going against the old fashion fashion grain here is to add in a metallic to complement the two dark hues.
So let's through caution to the wind and break a few rules. While we're at it, let's toss those wooly hats too. Yes, they're warm, but a headscarf is way more glamorous. And a wool winter hat is a little predictable in this weather isn't it?
Looks like queen of the ballad, Celine Dion, is just as much of a Spice Girl fanatic as the rest of us.
Unlikely I know, but word on the grapevine is that Celine is so thrilled the girls are kicking off their world tour on Sunday in Vancouver (in her native Canada), that she’s throwing them a welcome bash.
Apparently the party will have a Canadian theme, and although it’s sure to be a sophisticated gathering, I’m personally imagining Victoria Beckham coming as a bottle of maple syrup and Mel B disguised as a beaver.
Talking of Mel B, a rumour doing the rounds at the moment is that Scary spice is using the tour to pave the way for another stab at a solo career.
Hmmm, you might have done well on Dancing with the stars Mel but let’s not do anything rash, don’t you remember the last time?
Back to the Spices, let’s hope their performance on Sunday is as perfectly polished as the girls look in this photo. And talking of their fabulous new look, take a look at some more of the Spices outfits by clicking here.
Finally lets all keep our fingers crossed for Sunday, good luck ladies!
Where does one begin with the latest news on Britney Spears?
With the pregnancy rumours that were recently squashed? Her alleged breakdown while shopping for knickers in a porn shop and (so we hear) subsequent shoplifting? Or her world's fastest music video shoot lasting a total of two hours?
It's impossible to keep up. But while the world of the pop star is ever turbulent and ever changing, there's one thing that remains constant: her fairly disappointing style. Granted she's looking much fitter these days and has brought back the bottle blond hair from the good old days of Britney. But she continues to wear the hideous brown boots, funny hats and too-young t-shirts.
But I just can't stop reading about her! So, for the sake of the people Britney, get a stylist so when we're gossiping about adventures in Britneyland we can at least give you reprieve for your clothes.
All good things come to an end, or so they say, and now model and actress Gemma Atkinson is the seventh person to be evicted from I’m a Celebrity.
Hearing that she was to be evicted Gemma shouted “Yes!” and threw her hands in the air, so I’m guessing she’s not too devastated to be leaving the jungle.
And who can blame her with all those bugs crawling all over the place and those pesky bush tucker trials.
Now she can concentrate on important things, like having a nice hot shower and wearing something other than grubby khaki. She certainly looks groomed to the max in this recent photograph.
Now she’s left the jungle no doubt we’ll still be seeing a little more of Gemma. Keep checking the OSOYOU blog to find out what she does next.

That’s some rather bronzed looking skin you've got there.
Oh, the hard life of a beautiful celebrity – all those holidays, shopping trips and awards ceremonies.
Snapped at the 17th Gotham Awards in New York, Uma showed off more than a new tan on the red carpet.
I'm loving this beautiful long black dress, cut away at the neck and embellished with a touch of gold. Choosing the classier route for accessories, Uma teamed her dress with an embroidered black shawl and simple gold earrings.
What a shame her strapless bra was in the wash though...

Good news for Kate as she was dressed head to toe in it yesterday on a night out with boyfriend Prince William and friends.
The outfit was trademark Kate, in other words stylish yet conservative.
In the stylish corner, we have the colour grey which is many a celebrity cum fashionista’s hue of choice this winter. We also have her figure-skimming silk dress, necklace, and black patent bag which wouldn’t look amiss on many a style conscious girl.
On the flip side, headlining in the conservative corner are her black courts complete with what your mum calls a ‘sensible heel’. The coat and dress hemline are both erring on the safe side too, but I’m her sure grandmother-in-law to be would approve.
Overall I would have to say it’s an ensemble fit for a Royal.
Just look at all those trends our Kim managed to combine in the outfit she wore to Bungalow 8 club in London last night.
Let’s start with that metallic bejewelled shift dress, shall we? Shifts are in, embellished neck lines are in and metallic’s OSO in.
Black opaque tights are simply a must if you consider the length of this skirt.
And what’s that - a matching metallic clutch?
Full marks for what must be the most 'on-trend' outfit I've seen this week, Kimbo. Slightly disappointed that you didn't slip on a cowboy shirt before you left the house, though.
Maggie Gyllenhaal's simple, yet classy style never fails to impress me.
And this pic of her at the 17th Gotham Awards in New York yesterday proves to be no exception.
Snapped on the red carpet, Maggie rocked this all-black outfit, including a plain long-sleeved top, knee-length patchwork skirt and patent shoes, with this season's ubiquitous opaques.
Following the colour trend all the way to her black earrings, I think it's pretty fair to say that she's living and breathing this season’s black-on-black trend. Right, Mags?
Our girl Posh is continuing to rack up the fashionista points.
Last month we were keeping our fingers crossed that the rumours of a partnership with Marc Jacobs were true. And now we can confirm that Mrs. Beckham will be the new face of Marc Jacobs' Spring/Summer ad campaign. Talk about proving yourself stateside Vicki!
We can't wait to see what master photographer Jurgen Teller has in store for us with Posh as his model. It's certainly a shift from the past Marc girls such as indie queen Sofia Coppola. But the Marc Jacobs catwalk saw an interesting turn as well for next year with surrealism and backwards shoes as notable looks. It could be a spectacular pairing and it'll be interesting to see what Marc has in store for us in the future.
Check out Victoria's Stylefile to see exactly how she's been dressing for success. And snag her coveted style for yourself.
While we're announcing new fashion faces, we can also report that Kirsten Dunst has been chosen as the new face of Miu Miu. Here's hoping her street style will take it up a notch as a result.
I can’t wait any longer; I need to see the Sex and the City movie NOW.
This new picture from the set has me squealing with excitement once again, and is it any wonder why.
For one, the set is a trend emporium.
Here’s SJP aka Carrie Bradshaw and she just happens to be wearing a skater skirt, an oversized military inspired waistcoat (cinched in at the waist of course) and carrying an oversized bag. All which have been catwalk descended hits this season.
Naturally though the outfit has its own Sex and the City spin on it. Who else could wear those dainty (possible Manolo) heels with such a tough outfit and make it work?
Well Carrie Bradshaw of course.
So for those of you who are just waiting for that Sex and the City movie fix, spend your time wisely by checking out SJP’s stylefile for even more SJP/Carrie Bradshaw fashion.
I’m starting to wonder whether Rachel Bilson is actually a human being. Does she ever look anything other than a vision of loveliness? If so I’ve yet to see any proof of it.
Here she is again in Beverley Hills hanging out with friends and radiating perfection. Personally I’m puzzled that she any time to hang out with friends, clearly it takes up the better part of one’s day to look that immaculate.
Take her hair for example, clearly she didn’t roll out of bed and it just happened to acquire that enviable gleam and style.
The outfit is certainly no velour tracksuit either. The cinnamon double-breasted cropped swing coat with bell sleeves looks like it was made just for her. Whilst her white jeans are practically a second skin, and tucked into those soft leather fawn boots the colours just melt into each other….
Am I getting too carried away?
Maybe but there’s no doubt this girl knows how to dress, even her accessories (oversized sunnies, bag, and Lara Bohinc style gold bracelet) are all this season’s must-haves.
Fingers crossed there are huge bags under her eyes, but I doubt it.
Daisy Lowe is a model with a serious rock ‘n’ roll heritage.
Her mum, Pearl Lowe, is a Brit Pop singer turned designer, her dad is Gavin Rossdale from Bush (and husband of Gwen Stefani), and her stepfather is Danny Goffey the drummer from Supergrass. Not bad eh.
As we know rockers are not the shrinking violet types, and with Daisy the genes clearly kicked in. When it comes to style, Daisy’s look is one that elicits attention, big time. And not just from minions like me.
Having modelled for both Vogue and W Magazine her cutting-edge fashion credentials are already established. The question is then, did her outfit at the British Fashion Awards make or break her?
Tiny, military-style hats off to Chanelle Hayes for pulling off yet another publicity - indeed, military - coup.
Because here she was last night looking suspiciously like the Spice Girls (or at least one of them) in their Stop outfits - even down to the long leather gloves. And you can too - just take a look at some of the pieces we've picked out for our Spice Girls Military List.
But back to Victoria Beckham - because hopefully won't let a little thing like a style usurper dampen her day. Not when it's the day that the people at People magazine have named her 'Fashionista Of The Year'.
Yes, after that documentary, that cameo in Ugly Betty and that forthcoming appearance in the Sex And The City movie, it looks like Posh really has conquered America. With military-like precision.
She’s been on the cover of Italian, American, and British Vogue and appeared in advertisements for Burberry, Giorgio Armani, and Vivienne Westwood… not bad for a Lancashire Lass.
And to put the icing on the cake, last night Agyness attained ultimate industry acclaim by being named Model of the Year ahead of the likes of Kate Moss and Lily Cole.
Renowned for her quirky nu-rave style and shock-white cropped hair, Agyness is definitely a descendant of planet cool.
However even her fashion feathers must've been slightly ruffled at the thought of what to wear last night.
As a contender for Model of the Year, the pressure must have been on to stand out (and not in the way that Lilly Allen managed to).
So did Agyness dress to impress or fall flat on her perfectly proportioned face? To find out, click here

Celebrity Style
If a week is a long time in politics, then it's a very long time in reality television.
Exactly a week ago today, Marc Bannerman was evicted from the I'm A Celebrity jungle. In the ensuing seven days he's returned to England, been dumped by his girlfriend Sarah Matravers, exposed by her in a Sunday tabloid, confessed he's in love with fellow jungle-dweller Cerys Matthews, sent her a love letter, and... well, that's quite enough for now, isn't it?
Well, no, not quite. Because the latest is that Sarah Matravers has moved out of the north London home she shared with Marc. And meanwhile, back in the jungle, talk has been centering around possible Matthews-Bannerman nuptials. Christopher Biggins - pictured here with Cerys after she successfully completed her bushtucker trial - joked to the Welsh singer: "Can we come to the wedding?"
"Don't... Can you imagine? I can't let myself think that," she squealed back. But that didn't put a dampener on Christopher's romantic excitement. "We have already got our hats haven't we?" he continued, while the soon-to-be-evicted Anna Ryder-Richardson added: "We planned the gifts last night, the venue, the food... Honeymoon's already booked."
But Cerys - who divorced US musician Seth Riddle earlier this year - assured them that she had no plans to walk down the aisle with Marc, saying: "I don't want to disappoint you but I've got no intentions of getting married ever again."
Aww, shame! Because we were imagining a lovely wedding dress made out of khaki combat material, topped off with a tiara adorned with hanging corks, and a lovely red neckerchief. Maybe next year, eh?
The world of fashion designers is firmly placed in the future. You can bet that any one of the designers at the British Fashion Awards last night were taking a break from finishing off their Autumn/Winter 2008 collections and even collecting inspiration for Spring/Summer 2009! So what better event to predict the next hot style trends to hit the streets?
Leave it up to style muse Thandie Newton to preview a key trend of Spring/Summer 2008. She looked fabulous sporting a semi-beehive (Amy Winehouse's signature style continues to inspire, even if her tour isn't continuing), flawless make-up, and a dress that is a key to what we'll be wearing next year.
But you'll have to click here to find out what it is! Check out Thandie's trend preview and get a piece of the action a few months early for yourself on this handy list. Go on now, don't get left behind in fashion's past.
Oh, what to wear?! It’s a dilemma faced by all of us at some point in our lives – usually just before a very important party.
So perhaps we should spare a thought for Stella McCartney, who was not just going to any old party, but the British Fashion Awards. And she wasn’t just a guest, but winner of Designer of the Year.
Suddenly that dress you wore to last year’s Christmas party just doesn’t cut it anymore, does it?
I don't know about about you, but I've been wanting to put a (both literal and metaphorical) cardi round poor Amy Winehouse's shoulders for days now. The fragile-looking singer's been out in tiny summer dresses every night, so it's nice to see her wrapped up for once in a cosy jacket and jeans.
That said, it's sad to know that she's not in a performance-style frock because, well, she's brought an end to her performances.
Amy has cancelled all the rest of the gigs on her current tour because, in true torch singer style, she just can't face performing with a broken heart.
"I can't give it my all on stage without my Blake," she said in a press release issued yesterday - referring to her husband, who's on remand in Pentonville prison. "I'm so sorry but I don't want to do the shows half-heartedly," she continued. "I love singing. My husband is everything to me and without him it's just not the same." Amy's record company went on to add: "In the interests of her health and wellbeing, Amy has been ordered to take complete rest and deal with her health issues."
Aww, bless her little polka dot socks. Amy: though singing through the pain may have been the norm for Billie Holiday and her ilk, you're right to get some rest - and we hope you're fighting fit again soon.
Daniel Craig and his partner Satsuki Mitchell were doing their usual mean and moody red carpet look at the London premiere of The Golden Compass last night. Despite Satsuki appearing to wear what could be an engagement ring on her left hand.
Was Daniel upset because Keith Urban has more hair than him? Was Satsuki regretting her decision to go bra-less under that satin dress, and therefore ending up a little, erm, wonky? Or is it just that they're Daniel and Satsuki, and this is what they do? Answers on a postcard, please...
Yes, London witnessed a rare joint red carpet appearance by Nicole Kidman and her hubby Keith Urban last night, as they arrived at Leicester Square for the premiere of Nic's new film The Golden Compass.
Dressed in a gorgeous cream satin Balenciaga dress and not-too modest heels, 5ft 10.5in Nic (and that extra half an inch is important, you know. Just ask Posh) towered ever so slightly - if one can 'tower' ever so slightly - over her 5ft 7.5in country-singing husband, and clasped his hand ever so tightly. Aww.
What is Lily so excited about? Why last night's British Fashion Awards of course! Our favourite stylish celebrities, models and designers were out in full force and we've got the run down of all the best (and worst) style moments of the evening.
Among those walking away with awards last night were: Stella McCartney with the coveted Designer of the Year title, young Scot Christopher Kane was no surprise as New Designer of the Year, and the lovely Agyness Deyn took home Model of the Year. Anya Hindmarch did a number on us this year with her 'I'm not a plastic bag' handbag and was awarded Designer Brand of the Year for her efforts. The ever colourful Vivienne Westwood was honoured with the Outstanding Achievement in Fashion Design award. And statement jewellery lovers rejoiced when Tom Binns was awarded Accessory Designer of the Year.
Congrats to all! But, let's face it, while we love to hear Who Won What we are dying to take a gander at Who Wore What.
Lily Allen certainly looks pleased with herself stutting into the event. But did she make a statement with more than a bit of skin? Or is she wearing a dress we'll all be talking about today?
Keep your eyes on OSOYOU.com today for all the British Fashion Awards style.
Tonight the hottest names in British fashion will take to the red carpet for the British Fashion Awards. Designers, both established and up and coming, models and you can bet the odd Royal will be mingling at the Lawrence Hall in Westminster for British fashion’s Oscars. We’ll have all the highlights of the evening for you right here on OSOYOU.com’s blog tomorrow.
Will M&S girl Lily Cole beat out Agyness Deyn for Model of the Year and take Kate Moss's title? Will Luella Bartley’s return to London Fashion Week earn her a Designer of the Year win? Which young creative force will be honoured as New Designer of the Year?
Take a look, if you will, at ballroom dancing's equivalent to Hugh Grant, Arun Nayer and Liz Hurley.
Strictly Come Dancing's Brendan Cole was out a red carpet do in London last night - not with Kelly Brook, not with Whoever His Latest Televisual Squeeze Is... but with his ex-girlfriend and her current boyfriend. Fancy!
That ex-girlfriend is Camilla Dallerup, and her current boyfriend is Ian Waite. Camilla, you may recall, was engaged to Brendan when his, erm, 'rapport' with his first Strictly Come Dancing partner Natasha Kaplinsky was making the headlines. She promptly called time on their relationship - which was professional as well as personal - and then started dating her new dance partner Ian Waite.
Confused? Don't be. Just look at Camilla's lovely silver dancing shoes - and find out how to get that Strictly Come Dancing look right here!
UPDATE: Erm, so we have been reliably informed (thanks, blog readers - you know who you are) that we were actually wrong about Camilla and Ian's 'relationship'. That's what you get for relying on picture captions. Sorry guys! Nice shoes though, eh?
Depending on which part of the above headline you find the most interesting, may I divert you to the paragraph of your choice, below?
A. According to US gossips, Lindsay Lohan is on the verge of breaking up with Whatshisname. Who is, in fact, Riley Giles. No, really. Riley is a snowboarder, and Lindsay flew back to LA with him at the weekend, after spending Thanksgiving in New York. But all is not well in the Gilohan (bear with me) camp - because poor Riley is getting tired of dating a celebrity. “Lindsay is so hectic and demanding. She and Riley have been fighting a lot and I think that both of them are getting annoyed,” reveals an insider. “When he comes to visit Lindsay, it’s always mayhem. He hates the spotlight, but she loves the attention.”
B. This was Lindsay as she popped to the shops for some jewellery and frozen yoghurt yesterday. No, really. Sticking to her current uniform of grey and black, she teamed a grey trilby (or is it fedora? It's so easy to get's one's hats confused) with black sunglasses, a grey and black top, black cardigan, leggings and ballet pumps. The result? Slightly Sienna Miller, slightly Stella McCartney and ever so slightly Michael Jackson. Do you think she looked at the man in the mirror before she left the house?
Think Amy Winehouse is hard for stepping out in winter in nothing but a summer dress? Pah! She's got nothing on Paris Hilton.
In fact, Paris Hilton hasn't got much on Paris Hilton, either.
Yes, I know it's much sunnier and warmer in LA right now. But is that really any excuse for going out in just your camisole top and a pair of tights?
Paris was dressed - and I use the word loosely - like this for a lunch date with her little sister Nicky and her buddy Nicole Richie. They went to Forte restaurant in Beverly Hills, where hopefully she managed to cover herself up with a napkin or something.
Nic left her hotel - Claridges, no less - last night, considerably better wrapped-up than she was in New York recently.
As you can see, Ms Kidman leaped, gazelle-like, out of her hotel's front door in a gorgeous high-necked black dress, black coat, black opaque tights, black pointed stilettos and large black handbag. Well, a girl can't go wrong with a Little Black Dress... Coat, Tights, Shoes And Bag, can she?
I'm not sure where she was off to - but wherever it was (let's say, ooh, "The Wolseley", shall we?), hopefully she had a golden compass to help her find her way. Geddit?!
Seriously though, why is it so hard for them to buy us a decent Christmas pressie? And no guys, a box of chocolates and a fluffy rabbit does not a good present make.
Well fear not, fashion-loving friends, we have the very solution to your problem! And even better, it doesn't involve the dragging of said man round the shops while you do jazz hands at gift ideas, game show-stylee. Phew!

When Rachel Bilson goes shopping, the world watches. Or at the very least one plucky photographer hiding in the bushes. Which is nearly the same.
Rachel headed out in L.A. yesterday sporting the fashion accessory du jour – no, not the great big dog. Her awesome scarf!
As Lindsay Lohan has shown us, statement scarves are one of this season’s must-haves. Rachel’s vintage-style silk square would certainly be included in our list of Scarves To Die For.
And because one trend is simply not enough for Rachel, she secures her status as a bona fide style icon with another season staple – the oversized handbag.
So who knows - maybe next year we’ll all be walking big dogs too?
If I've told you once, I've told you, ooh, at least twice: wrap up girl, you'll catch your death!
Yours,
Concerned of OSOYOU.
Yes, another night, another shot of Amy Winehouse leaving a gig in a little summery dress - this time she was exiting her concert in Brighton. Methinks she's taking this 'climatising-herself-to Miami-weather' thing a little too seriously.
This polka dot number is a gem, though. And as for that face? Well, Amy was eating an apple. So I think we can let this one pass. Although it probably won't stop the Daily Mail printing this picture with the headline "What's the mystery substance in Amy's mouth?".
I'm really starting to dislike that Hayden Panettiere.
Just look at her here! The Heroes actress was snapped heading into a headshot studio in Los Angeles yesterday, dressed all casual-like in this mauve ribbed turtle neck, jeans and tan colour knee high boots.
How can a person look so good in such a simple outfit? Plus, she can pull off chic sunnies like these Ray Bans while others just look ridiculous. And yes, that means me.
I love turtle necks; they keep you warm and they're sexy. It's the best of both worlds!
I would suggest a T-shirt bra as opposed to a push up one though, Hayden, to smooth out any lumps and bumps.
French singer Vanessa Paradis got into a particularly fashionable Christmas spirit last night when she helped launch the Champs-Elysees lights in Paris.
Envious of her beautiful tweed coat? Her innately chic Parisian style that doesn't falter even on the coldest of nights? Or perhaps of her devastatingly handsome partner Johnny Depp?
Yeah, me too. But of course, the list goes on. She now has her very own vineyard. That's right, her Mr. Depp has bought her a vineyard near their villa in the South of France to celebrate the completion of her new album. Can't you just see her out there with their two kids squashing grapes in Chanel?
There. That's all I needed to get me out of my jealous funk caused by a lack of Johnny Depp and Chanel. Well, a glass of red would help too. I wonder if Threshers will carry Vino Depp?
After a gruelling Showgirl tour what better way to unwind than with some retail therapy.
Stepping out of her hotel in Paris, Kylie looks radiant and revived as she heads to the best boutiques France has to offer. Not that her wardrobe isn’t already fabulous, Kylie looks the epitome of Parisian chic from head to toe here.
A long black military style coat with strategic pleats hangs perfectly on her petite frame, whilst her drainpipes cling to those enviable pins. Her black heeled shoe boots scream Christian Louboutin and give the petite star some added inches. Finally, an oversized red and grey scarf rounds off the outfit and is bang on trend.
But whilst Kylie takes some well earned time off, sister Dannii is busier than ever.
Not only is the X Factor hotting up as the final approaches but Danii’s new single, Touch Me Like That, is to be released on December the 3rd. Seeing as it’s already top of the club charts, looks like team Minogue are back at their very best!
It appears that even bubbly Fearne Cotton needs a caffeine boost from time to time.
Spotted leaving Starbucks in London with friend and fellow celebrity Reggie Yates, Fearne might be feeling fatigued but thankfully she hasn’t let her fashion sense falter.
Looking cosy but immaculate, Fearne wears a versatile cream double-breasted mac with elegant bell sleeves. This is balanced out perfectly by her slim-fit blue jeans, while her black biker boots give the outfit a quirky twist.
The look is perfected by a leopard print scarf, which is a sure fire winner. And if you don’t believe me then check out our leopard list for the latest leopard essentials. Or to see even more Fearne-esque ensembles visit her Stylefile to get inspired.
And yes, we know this is a celebrity because, well, she looks just that little bit different from normal people, doesn't she? And we know it's Scarlett Johansson because she's got lovely pouty bee-stung lips... and because Ryan Reynolds is just out of shot.
(Ryan is a Canadian actor best known for dating Alanis Morissette for years, just in case you didn't know. And just before his 31st birthday, Scarlett had her wisdom teeth removed. She took one of the teeth, dipped it in gold, and strung it on a necklace for him as a birthday gift. Fact.)
But back to Scarlett - because I definitely think this outfit, which she wore out on a shopping trip in LA yesterday, is worth dissecting down to the minutest detail.
In order, from top to bottom, we can spy:
- An enormous, Keira Knightley-style slouchy beanie, which could possibly be covering an alien-shaped head. Or not.
- Aviator sunglasses. Very Top Gun.
- An army-style jacket. (See above: Scarlett, are you in the army or the airforce?)
- A large T-shirt. Or is that short dress?
- Navy tights. Which aren't quite opaque.
- A tan, riveted, handbag. Fair enough.
- "Interesting" shoes.
In fact, the whole outfit is "interesting". Yep, it's definitely "interesting". And in a world full of fashion sheep, well, that's no bad thing, is it?
She's being hailed the "Party Princess" - and just last week was out and about with Kate Moss and the Primrose Hill posse, partying late into the night.
But while no one doubts her posh - or partying - credentials, another thought crossed my mind as I spied this latest pic of Princess Beatrice (at a polo match in Buenos Aires, in case you were wondering). Namely: doesn't she remind you a bit of Jade Goody?
Think about it - its all there. They've both lived in very strange households. They've both got strong-willed mothers. They both get followed around by the paparazzi a lot. They both like stumbling out of nightclubs. They're both a bit gobby. They've both got reddish hair. And as you can see here: they both have a penchant for wearing very large white tops.
Relax, everybody! Lindsay Lohan is back on the West Coast, and all is right with the world. Phew.
LiLo was in New York for Thanksgiving (sort of like our Christmas, but without the presents) - but flew back to Los Angeles yesterday. And here she is literally moments after touchdown at LAX.
As you can see, Lindsay's Flying Outfit Of Choice was, well... erm... part Sk8er Girl, part cowboy, part surfer and part jailbird. Or to put it more succintly: generally rather grey.
She teamed black leggings with black cowboy boots, a grey-and-black striped scarf, grey T-shirt, black hoodie, grey baseball cap and black sunglasses. Wait a minute - a baseball cap and sunglasses? Now, I know LA may seem alarmingly sunny after a week in New York, Lindsay - but surely it's not that sunny?
What better way to spend your birthday than partying with your girlfriends? And that’s exactly what Kimberley Walsh, member of pop-perfect Girls Aloud chose to do.
Surrounded by her band mates and Amelle Berrabah from Sugababes, Kimberley headed to London’s swanky Burlington Club to celebrate her birthday in style. And didn’t she look the part.
Dressed in a belted empire line beige and black halter-dress, she looked the epitome of understated chic. Her embellished headband was bang on trend and added a touch of glamour to her outfit. Black opaque tights lengthened her legs and completed this polished look. Kimberley gets a fashionista's thumbs up from us!
Call me old-fashioned, but I've never understood why Paris Hilton is supposed to be some sort of style icon. And to defend my case, I'd like to present the jury with Exhibit A, to the left here.
As you may know, Paris has been swanning around China this past week - and the highlight of her trip was last night's MTV Awards in Shanghai. These awards were for fashion as well as music, which you think might have given Paris pause for thought, and the chance to wear something, y'know, really, really stylish.
But alas, no. Instead, Paris chose a slightly odd hairdo, and a bizarre long grey velvet dress which had a Chinese-style black lace top attached to it. Points for trying to endear yourself to the locals, Paris - but nul points for style.
What does troublemaker Amy Winehouse have in common with raunchy songstress Rihanna?
Well, aside from their hopelessly catchy songs, both have made it into Entertainment Weekly’s prestigious list of the Top 25 Entertainers of the Year.
Since she burst on to the scene this rainy summer with her hit Umbrella, Rihanna has been just as entertaining in the fashion department as the music. Mixing classically-cut dresses in bold colours and cool casuals, the 19-year-old has made a name for herself as a style icon.
Meanwhile, it’s been totally different story for Amy Winehouse. Her year has been plagued with troubles, from public rows with her husband to him getting arrested and put in prison. But despite her tumultuous personal life, she has still managed to attract a host of celebrity fans, including Prince and Elton John. Not to mention creating music which has been deluged with critical acclaim, and even managing to pick up a nomination for the Mercury Music Prize for her album Back to Black.
But perhaps her new respectable style may be a sign things are changing in Camp Winehouse?
So, hands up who saw the Kylie documentary last night?
*Andrea keeps her hands by her side*
Yes, I'm afraid I missed it - although I did see a four-minute clip on YouTube. So that almost counts.
Anyway, today's headline about Kylie isn't just the airing of the TV show White Diamond - or how fantastic she looked on it, or how fabulous in general she's looking right now. It's about her one-time boyfriend Olivier Martinez - because Kylie's admitted that she still loves him.
"We have a love for each other that will always be there," she tells The Sun - before going on to say that while she doesn't want to be with him again, she can't think about dating anyone else, either. "Getting back with Olivier is not something I think about," she says. "I don't want to think about finding someone else."
When a Girls Aloud member makes the headlines after a wild night out in London, you can bet your bottom dollar it’s Sarah Harding. But not this time.
On Saturday, the omnipresent blonde was upstaged by fellow band member Cheryl Cole, as the girls celebrated Kimberly Walsh’s 26th birthday.
Cheryl wowed onlookers in a low-cut black body-con dress, but it was the “Mrs Cole” tattoo on the back of her neck that really had tongues wagging.
Written in italics, the tattoo looks almost identical to the array sported by David and Victoria Beckham. And with the Beckhams having relocated this year, looks like Cheryl and Ashley are paving the way for 2008 to be the year of the Coles.
The paparazzi were almost fooled yesterday by this Posh lookalike arriving at the Sydney airport yesterday.
The beautiful young lady waltzed through baggage collection wearing the Beckham trademark oversized sunglasses, a simple LBD and a black handbag, which was carried in true WAG style - in the crook of her elbow.
Indeed, I too had to do a double take when I spotted the picture. The girl had timed it perfectly. David Beckham arrived in Australia on a private jet from London the same day. And with no sign of the real Victoria, everyone jumped to attention when her double strutted out of the airport.
So eat your heart out Chanelle – you’ve got competition!
Fancy yourself a Posh lookalike wannabe? Or if you just want to steal Victoria’s style for your own, then check out her Stylefile at OSOYOU.com where you can get the celebrities’ latest looks.
You've got to feel sorry for Kimberley Walsh, haven't you? It was her birthday celebration last night - but who stopped the traffic? Why, her bandmate Sarah Harding, of course!
Looking as impossibly beautiful and glamorous as ever, Sarah was snapped leaving the Burlington Club in London wearing a fabulous sequin shift dress. And if you like her style, then you might just like this fabulous sequin shift dress you can get from Topshop right now, too - or if you're more a fan of black, this gorgeous black encrusted number from Principles.
(Oh, and if you ever start to find yourself feeling jealous of Sarah's beauty, just do what I do: and remind yourself that this is the woman Calum Best described as "stupid and boring". Enough said.)
Poor Amy Winehouse looked like she was going to catch her death of cold as she left her gig at the Hammersmith Apollo last night. Although thinking about it, that big beehive probably acts like a sort of hat, doesn't it? And we all know that we lose most of our body heat through our heads.
But I digress.
Because the reason I speculate about Amy's summery clothing - and it is a tangible link, to be sure - is that apparently her husband Blake Fielder-Civil has instructed her to spend Christmas in sunnier climes. To be precise: in Miami.
And why? Because according to today's Sunday Mirror, Blake - who is currently residing at Her Majesty's Leisure in Pentonville Prison - is likely to be spending Christmas behind bars, and has urged Amy to remember happier times by spending the holiday in the city where they married last year.
"Before he was remanded in the nick on charges of GBH and perverting the course of justice, he planned to take Amy to India for Christmas," reports the paper, matter-of-factly. "So the beehived singer has agreed to fly to Miami with pals immediately after Hanukkah celebrations with her Jewish parents Mitch and Janis."
Bless. So just remember that when you're slightly fed up of your family this Chrimbo, won't you? Things could be far worse. You could be Amy or Blake.
A radiant Dannii Minogue beamed through her chaffeured car window last night as she left The X Factor studio - but just hours before, she'd been blubbing like a big girl.
Yes, for the second time this series, Dannii was reduced to tears by the singing of that spooky monk from The Da Vinci Code. Sorry, Rhydian.
The theme of this week's show was love songs - as opposed to the songs about war and famine that the contestants usually sing - and Rhydian's chosen tune was 'Somewhere' from West Side Story. Which he performed perfectly nicely. So perfectly nicely, in fact, that Dannii was very moved by it - and manged to stay very moved right through the other judge's (favourable) comments.
Despite an actual lack of tears, and despite appearing like she was acting (well, she was in Home And Away, you know), Dannii told Rhydian in a choked-up voice: "I can't speak, that was so beautiful. I felt you were singing it personally to me. It was just incredible."
And it was a good job her voice sounded so choked up, because, well, put it this way: it's a little hard to spot emotion in Dannii's face otherwise, isn't it? If you get my drift.
Ooh, tensions were high on Strictly Come Dancing last night, as Brendan "Badboy of Ballroom" Cole argued with the judges about his "flat Samba". Or something.
Yes, Kelly Brook and her dancing partner received their lowest score so far and found themselves in the bottom two - or is that bottom four? - of the competition, after the judges laid into them about their performance.
Len Goodman told Brendan that it "wasn't a good dance routine for a girl of this talent, with Bruno Tonioli adding: "It's like having Judi Dench and getting her to read the Yellow Pages." Arlene Phillips got her metaphors a little mixed up, bless her, telling the pair: "Honestly my high expectations have fallen on a flat balloon." But I think we know what she meant. And Brendan's response to the criticism? To blame Kelly! "She's not a professional dancer," he whined. The cheek!
Still, Kelly and Brendan have lived to fight - or rather, dance - another day. But can they get themselves back on form and win the show? Well, hopefully. If unprofessional Kelly doesn't let her professional partner down, of course...
Following last week's frankly shocking, sparkly party look (I'm still shuddering at the thought of those fishnet tights and hotpants), Katie Price has got it right at last.
After launching her perfume earlier in the day, Katie appeared on Ireland's famous Late, Late Show and enjoyed a night out on the town in Dublin, wearing this little outfit.
I must profess to a fondness for midnight blue - and while Katie is rather too orange for my taste (unlike oranges themselves), she still chose well with this cute strapless dress, which she teamed with a black faux fur shrug and patent, round-toe heels.
Burlesque queen Dita Von Teese has been in London this week to promote her new book about knitting or something. So it was probably inevitable that we were going to see a snap of her enjoying our capital's nightlife. Meaning: leaving a swanky club looking ever so restrained (Dita doesn't do drunken stumbling in heels, you know.)
Yes, looking as always like a star from another era - and that's 1990s Madonna - Dita left Movida nightclub looking gorgeous in a fitted LBD, patent shoes and fishnet tights, an outift she completed with a black satin clutch bag and a flower in her hair. And of course red lippy, and just the faintest hint of rouge (and I think I can safely say that Dita doesn't wear blusher, she wears rouge).
If you're loving Dita's style and want to find your perfect Little Black Dress for the party season, check out our pick of the best LBDs over on OSOYOU.com.
Liz Hurley was doing what she does best yesterday. No, not acting. Or film producing. Promoting her beachwear range, silly!
Dressed in her usual St Tropez Chic - that's white trousers and a sheer leopard print top - Ms "Don't Call Me Liz" Hurley was showing off her range of bikinis and the like in Sao Paulo.
Ahh, it's a hard life, isn't it?
Not that I'm in any way bitter, oh no. Not that I'm having to TYPE THIS IN A FREEZING COLD FLAT IN FREEZING COLD, GREY LONDON WHILE ELIZABETH "LIZ" HURLEY GETS TO GO TO SUNNY BRAZIL AND HOLD UP A FEW BIKINIS. Oh no.
Don't worry. I'll be back to normal for the next post.
Not content with her cameo role in Ugly Betty, it looks like Victoria Beckham is going to make an appearance in the Sex And The City movie, too.
According to the Daily Mail, Victoria has been in talks with the film's producers and director to find a suitable filming date, after Spice Girls rehearsals meant she had to turn down their initial offer.
"The producers are doing everything they can, including moving around filming schedules, to get her on board. They really wanted her to film some scenes before Christmas but she's too busy with the Spice Girls right now," a source tells the paper. "However, the movie people and Posh's people are in talks to get another date in the new year for her to shoot some scenes."
So why are they courting The Posh One? "Victoria Beckham is probably one of the biggest fashion icons in the world, so it makes sense to have her in the Sex And The City movie," explains the insider. "The show is all about stylish, powerful women, so Vic will be a natural star."
Well, indeed. And 'natural stars' have never let a little thing like 'lack of natural acting ability' get in the way, have they?
Not to be outdone by the line-up of girls in Amy Winehouse masks, Jordan - sorry, Katie Price - showed off three faces at her perfume launch in Dublin yesterday.
The real Katie is the one in the middle. Just in case you were wondering.
Her hair scraped back and sporting a white T-shirt accessorised with a glittery silver tie (which might have been nicked from Pete's wardrobe), Katie promoted her perfume by, erm, holding up boxes of it.
Launched just in time for Christmas, Katie's scent is called 'Stunning'. So if you want to smell stunning this Christmas - as opposed to smelling of pine needles, Brussels sprouts and eggnog - then you know what to ask for in your Christmas wish list, don't you?
Now, I'm sure I'm not the only person who finds this picture ever so slightly creepy.
Yes, if you think you liked Amy Winehouse's style, then you still probably don't like it quite as much as these girls - a group of fans who turned up outside Snaresbook Crown Court yesterday to show their support for Amy and her hubby Blake Fielder-Civil, as he faces spending Christmas in jail.
They wore skinny jeans, belted dresses... and Amy masks and wigs. Hopefully they also had a whip round for Blake's bail, too.
At first look Sarah Harding's latest outfit isn't anything special.
Here she is leaving the Radio One Live Lounge in black boots, grey jeans... we all have those. The black wrap coat is a stylish shape and her ivory leather bag is a lovely change to the ubiquitous black patent. Her scarf hits the chunky knit trend head on.
But just a bit boring, no?
Wait, what's that bit of sparkle on her head? That's right it's a tea cosy hat covered in sequins. Perfect for a glamazon like Sarah. And what better way to say, 'Don't let the scuffed boots fool you, I'm all about the glamour.'
I can say from experience that a pop star is possibly the only one who can pull this off. No, I'm not speaking from the perspective of a pop star. Just a wannabe who tried a sequin beret on one day hoping for the slight chance I wouldn't look ridiculous.
But dear Sarah has inspired me to try it again. You've got to have a little tenacity in fashion.
Ladies! Bored of the ol' Little Black Dress? Looking for some inspiration for your Christmas party outfit? Why, look no further than Ms Katie Price here!
This was Jordan's - I mean, Katie's - look on the Katie And Peter: Unleashed show yesterday. And all you need to 'Get Katie's Party Style' is:
- A pair of black sequin hotpants
- A pair of fishnet tights
- A pair of silver peep-toe shoes
- A black, cowl-neck jumper
- A bad wig
Et voila! A Barbie And Ken Christmas can be yours, too.
(Alternatively, you might like to start making your own, slightly more serious, Christmas Wish List over on OSOYOU.com.)
Just as with her fashion, everything stays the same, and yet changes, in the world of Kate Moss.
For here she was yesterday - wearing, yes, those boots, and yes, a pair of jeans... But with a new jacket.
And it also turns out that the ever-rumbling catfight between her and Sienna Miller has changed slightly, too. (See how I shoe-horned that in there?). Because according to today's Sun, Sienna has barred her current squeeze Rhys Ifans from seeing Kate and the rest of his old gang of friends, aka The Primrose Hill Posse.
Relations between Kate and Sienna have been strained since Sienna started dating Rhys, and was told by the supermodel to be nice to him or risk making "an enemy for life". By which we think she meant, erm, her.
And Ms Miller's response to this treatment? “Sienna feels humiliated and is furious with Rhys, Kate and the whole situation. She even told her fella to go on holiday by himself and Rhys got her mum Jo involved," a source tells the Sun. “Sienna’s mum told her to go and have a bit of fun with Rhys away from everyone.”
And sure enough, they have - by jetting off to Mexico for a romantic holiday. But will the honeymoon last? Will Sienna lose her man to his mates? And more importantly: will Kate wear her boots for the twelftyth time in a row this week? Watch this space, Mossienna fans...
News flash everybody: Dita Von Teese is not in black! I repeat: she is not in black!
Snapped at the signing of her new book, Burlesque and the Art of the Teese, in London yesterday, Dita left her signature look behind in favour of this off-white, fitted, new length, bow -tied dress. And doesn't she look stunning?
Naturally, she’s still sporting her scarlet red lipstick with matching nail varnish. And not one to ever let us down with her accessories, she also donned this beautiful, sparkly vintage-looking brooch and earrings. The snakeskin peep-toe shoes complete the look.
Dita's sticking around in London this week as she's performing at the Erotica Exhibition in Olympia all weekend - so keep an eye on this blog for more, erm, revealing Dita looks.
What's this - another photo from the set of the Sex And The City movie? Well, no, actually. This is Sarah Jessica Parker in real life. Yes, real life!
I know it's hard to tell the difference, but the a) sunglasses and b) lack of Patricia Field silly outfit gives it away. SJP was snapped leaving her house in the West Village looking rather sombre, but very stylish, in a black satin shirt, black skinny trousers, black coat and grey heels. And yes, black sunnies.
If you fancy taking a leaf out of Sarah Jessica's fashion book - nay bible - check out her Stylefile over on OSYOU.com. It's full of SJP-influenced clothes - including, yes, plenty of black ones...
People I Wouldn't Want To Be Right Now: Marc Bannerman.
Places I Would Like To Be Right Now: On the living room wall Chez Marc Bannerman and Sarah Matravers.
Yes, here's Marc's actress girlfriend Sarah returning to Heathrow airport yesterday - after flying all the way to Australia and leaving before Marc even stepped foot out of the I'm A Celebrity... jungle.
And who can blame her? Marc "formed a close bond" (copyright: all tabloids) with fellow jungle-dweller Cerys Matthews... And to make matters worse, now claims that he's in love with her. When asked if Cerys feels the same way, he said: "Yes. I think she's in love with me too." Yikes!
"It was just kind of getting to the situation where it was becoming more than just friends, you know, in our behaviour there was a lot of flirting going on and I realise as I was doing it but I couldn't help it," whines Marc. "I said to Cerys at one point I just can't behave like this, but I think by that time it was just too late."
Well, you're probably right there, Marc - as Sarah's stony face shows. Jungle fever or not, we think you may have some serious grovelling to do...
Snapped leaving Cipriani Restaurant in London last night, Nance (as I like to call her) showed off her new look: a shorter 'do and this gorgeous padded winter coat.
Adding a simple LBD with black opaque tights and knee high boots just goes to show how tuned in she is to this season's hot trends.
I'd be more depressed that a woman of Nance's age can still look so good if I didn't know her little secret - that shiny new coat is from the high street!
We would recommend going one step further than Nancy though, and cinching in your waist with a belt. Padded coats can make you look bulky if you don't emphasise your shape with little tricks like that – it’ll definitely keep you warm though!
Well, we wouldn't expect her to step out in anything else, would we?
Alexa - aka Britain's Most Stylish Young Woman (Probably) - looked fab as usual last night, when she attended Amy Winehouse's gig at Brixton Academy (you'll be pleased to hear that Amy attended, too).
She donned a gorgeous olive green swing jacket, skinny jeans, black ankle boots and a black bag. What's not to love? Nothing, that's what. Yesterday we spotted her looking amazing in a checked swing coat - and now this. Can this girl do no fashion wrong? Answer: probably not.
Now that Leona Lewis has Britain's fastest selling debut album ever, I have a feeling designers are lining up to have her wear their brands and carry their handbags when she's out on the town. But if they don't offer leather alternatives like Stella McCartney, they may be out of luck.
As a vegetarian, Leona Lewis has made the choice not to wear leather. "I don't have clothes, shoes or bags made from leather or suede, or any animal products," the singer says. So I suppose her possible fashion faux pas in a leather bomber, was more of a 'faux'.
Leona may also be looking to act as a face for an animal-friendly high street store: "I would love to promote a line of non-leather bags and shoes that are affordable." With the plethora of PVC out there, I'm sure she could find something.
But for now, I'd love to direct Leona, and the rest of you lot, to check out our List of fabulous faux fur jackets. Fuzzy winter warmers for all.
Think Victoria Beckham's appearance on Ugly Betty this week was fantastic? Just wait until Lindsay Lohan gets a crack at it.
LiLo is in New York at the moment, and between shopping trips, she's been in talks with the producers of Ugly Betty to make a cameo appearance on the award-winning show. Her publicist released a statement saying, "She's totally looking forward to it. She loves the show."
I personally, like, totally hope her character is influenced by Mean Girls. Of course in the cut-throat fashion world that is Mode, I don't imagine seeing anything but. Will she lend her famously husky voice to a friend for Alex Meade? Or will she play a diva like Posh? I'm not afraid to admit it: I can't wait to find out!
In the meantime, we can get inspired by Lindsay's back-on-the-scene style and check out her Stylefile to snag some of your own looks from her quirky casual style.
Gwen Stefani was spotted out and about in Beverly Hills yesterday looking very, erm, Gwen in this white pinafore dress that only she could pull off.
What a great look though – I love how she’s teamed this rather short little number with a black turtle neck and this winter’s must-have: black opaque tights.
Adding gold accessories and, of course, her signature scarlet lipstick is the icing on the cake.
I’ve noticed a real monochrome trend among the celebrities at the moment – just look at Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie.
Maybe it’s a slight rebellion to the black on black trend we are seeing for this season? Whatever it is keep it up ladies - it’s a breath of fresh air!
And because Alexa's a bit of a style idol of mine (despite having neither the model figure nor the celebrity pals myself), I'm really quite interested to see what she's got in those mitts of hers. Looks like a belt and slogan tee to me - wardrobe staples for Ms Chung.
The little black dress is probably one of the most universally flattering outfits, but Kylie here can make it look like an art.
Promoting her album in Berlin, she donned a simple-cut LBD with sparkly details and a fierce pair of black patent skating boots. All the accessories she needed were a couple of chunky rings, super-volumised hair and red lips.
Are Heather Mills and Kylie Minogue taking a page from the same make-up tips book? Or have they been checking out our Wanted: the perfect red lip list? Either way, I don't think that it's ever happened that these two have been spotted in the same look.
But Kylie will always come out on top won't she? She looks darling here. The only thing I have to wonder is, do the fishnets really work here? Surely a pair of black opaque tights would be a bit more chic.
But who am I to say? I don't have an album coming out or a hit single. So maybe I should be the one to invest in a pair of fishnets. Maybe. For now I'll be investing on downloading Kylie's album to channel her diva style. X is available online at the Nokia Music Store today.
But this time: quite literally. Because She Who Must Be Listened To was sporting bright red lipstick last night. And while this isn't the most flattering shot, I'll admit, I think she rather pulled it off.
Heather was giving a speech at the Philosophical Society at Trinity College, Dublin. And in this 90-minute speech revealed that she was reluctantly obliged to befriend the world's wealthy (which presumably includes Paul McCartney) because that was the only way to maximise her power as an agent for change.
"Sadly, you have to mix at a certain level of people to raise the level of funds you need to bring about the greater good," she told her Dublin audience. "Because people are very snobby. These people who have lots of money, they're either snobby or they're stingy."
And poor Heather's plight doesn't end there. Oh no. Referring to herself, she said: "If you look at every single person in the history of the world who has tried to make a difference, you'll find a very long section of their lives where they were treated horrifically by the government or by the media." Yep, even in the days before the media. Hear that, media?
Well, Heather - I'm not treating you horrifically. Because I've just said how lovely your lippy is. So there.
It's a dilemma we've all faced. Whether or not to buy the pair of patent pink stilettos we've just spied in a store. So who can blame Lindsay Lohan for appearing to be in a bit of a quandry here?
LiLo is in New York with her mother at the moment - and of course, that means the Lohans have been indulging in a spot of retail therapy. Linsday was spotted eyeing up clothes - and yes, patent pink stiletto shoes - at fashion emporium Kirna Zabete in Soho. Hopefully she found someting to wear on her bottom half while she was at it...
And did she buy those shoes? Well, I'm afraid we can't divulge... mainly because, erm, we don't know. But hey, if you see Lindsay stepping out in a pair in the next few days, you know where she got them!
Girls Aloud starlet Cheryl Cole turned up to the Red Cross London Ball last night looking like a cross between a Roman goddess and a mermaid.
Her hair up in a double Alice band, Cheryl sashayed (and I think that's the only way you can possibly move in a dress like this) through the event in a halterneck gold chainmail frock.
Well, who doesn't? I've lost count of the number of times I've sashayed through an event in a halterneck gold chainmail dress.
Do you suppose Ashley was waiting for her outside on a white horse? Oh no, of course not. He was at the England game. Silly me!
Well, it looks like Grazia magazine was right, doesn't it? not only was Kate Moss out in her cowgirl gear yesterday, but even Zara Phillips was. And you know what I always say: if royalty's not wearing it, it's not a trend.
Zara teamed her cowboy hat and boots with a blue dress - of course - at the Red Cross London Ball last night.
Does this mean that the royal horsewoman is about to swap three-day eventing for rodeo? Or see her down the new line-dancing hotspot in Mayfair (clue: there isn't one)? Watch this space!
I prefer to wait in line at H&M for my Cavalli, but that's just me. Keeping it real.
The Spice Girls have enlisted iconic Italian designer Roberto Cavalli to design outfits for their upcoming tour. They wore vintage Cavalli gowns for their performance at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Check out our List for all their wardrobe changes at the event.
Posh has apparently been friends with Cavalli for years. "I have known Victoria Beckham for a long time and have always admired her style and personality," Cavalli says. "At their debut, the Spice Girls generated a trend with their individual looks and now, ten years later, they have put their trust in me to get a new, unique and iconic appeal for the tour."
The first set of outfits are sparkling silver ensembles each with their own personality according to each Spice Girl. Mel B's outfit has been going through a bit of alteration though, as she admitted her bum has grown due to the muscle bulking training for Dancing with the Stars.
I'm with you on that one Mel. Of course my training is more about trolling the shops with a packet of Maynards in hand. But still. Nothing that a little Cavalli can't fix.
Grazia has described it as one of this season's key pieces - so it's not that much of a surprise to see it being worn by Kate Moss.
Yes, the cowboy shirt is well and truly back - not that it ever went away for very long - and to that, I say: yeee-haaah!
Kate was snapped wearing hers yesterday, as she left her house for line-dancing classes. Not really. Because if she was going to line-dancing classes she would have been wearing cowboy boots, wouldn't she? Instead, she was wearing her favourite over-the-knee boots, her favourite tuxedo jacket, and blue - that's right, not black or white! - skinny jeans.
You can get your hands on the cutest cowboy shirt of the season right here. Oh, and if you're in any doubt at all that the cowboy look is back in fashion: I am writing this in my checked pyjamas, wearing a stetson and listening to Don't Tell Me by Madonna. And at least one of those things is true...
Word is the 'Bootylicious' singer is through with topping the R&B charts and is headed for the country and western music scene.
At the American Music Awards last week Beyonce debuted her new sound with a country and western version of her hit 'Irreplaceable'. And now that she's tested the waters, she's in talks with songwriters to begin writing for a country and western album. Well, she is from Texas after all.
Is the future of music more than a little bit country? Jessica Simpson is also rumoured to be working with country western legend Willie Nelson on her new album. With two pop divas lending their pipes to country, it looks like honky tonk is on the cards.
But if you need any more proof, all you have to do is look to the style icons of the present. Checked shirts, western boots, and even the odd cowboy hat have all been seen adorning our favourite trend setters. Just look at Kate Moss today.
If you haven't heard of the Electric Slide yet (What, you don't frequent a local line-dancing club?), you will. Start breaking in those boots.
The cute beanie hat! The cute sunnies! The cute doublebreasted coat! The cute Ugg boots! The very expensive - I mean, 'cute'! - red Chanel bag!
Bless her little cotton socks, I don't think she could look cuter if she tried. Even in a slightly scary, gothic-print T-shirt.
If you want to look this cute, too - even without being pregnant - then get kitted out in some of the items in our Nicole Richie Stylefile on OSOYOU.com. But be warned: we don't take any responsibility for random people coming up to you and hugging you in the street.
After a rocky opening show for her UK tour, in Birmingham, last week, Amy WInehouse now faces a whole new challenge: how to keep her voluminous hair-do in place after prison guards allegedly rummage through her beehive when she visits her beloved, Blake Fielder-Civil, in Pentonville Prison.
The singer, who has been besieged with problems ever since her hubby’s incarceration, has been seen sporting retro-style headscarves to keep her 'do secure. The look complements her all-new respectable high-neck tops and pencil skirts, as seen in her Stylefile on OSOYOU.com.
Perhaps Amy’s been getting headwear fashion tips from her new best-friend Pete Doherty, who must have single-handedly pushed up demand for trilby hats in the last three years!
The pair have been chatting daily, Pete has told reporters. Who knows, maybe a duet is on the cards?
That Kimberley Walsh sure knows how to accessorise!
And no, I'm not talking those dangly diamond earrings, or her cute peep-toe heels. It's all about the pressies, baby!
Just look at that gorgeous bunch of flowers. And I'm only guessing, but I reckon the white bag she's carrying contains a few lovely items I wouldn't kick out from under my tree this Christmas.
Out for her birthday meal at Zumo last night, Kimberley kept the rest of her outfit simple with this chic fitted black dress and dark grey coat. For me, this is a perfect 'day-to-night' choice for upcoming Christmas parties - just add sparkly accessories like Kimbo for instant glam.
Yes, The Less Famous Hilton Sister was out and about in West Hollywood yesterday, having coffee with friends and going shopping. As you do on a Tuesday, when you don't have a proper job. (It's just the same for me, if you swap 'West Hollywood' for 'Peckham').
And what does a rich starlet wear when she's going out for coffee and shopping? Well, this outfit, natch: sunnies, jeans, trainers, bomber jacket, pashmina and a large-ish bag. Oh, and unfeasibly large, just-out-of-the-shower hair. This is exactly what I look like walking around Peckham, so I should know.
There's something wrong with this picture. Can you spot what it is?
Is it Lindsay Lohan's beaming face? Well, it is a little orange... but no, that's not it.
Is it her fetching zebra print handbag? No. Not unless it's real zebra.
Is it her fetching leather jacket? Well, it is rather bulky-looking... Wait a minute! What's that underneath it?! An unfeasibly long scarf?! Why yes, it is!
We're sure you're nice and toasty, Linds. But next time, you might want to think about wearing that on the outside.
Big Brother’s Chanelle Hayes is set to release her own perfume in another desperate bid to follow her idol Victoria Beckham.
She's called it Mwah - we’re surprised she’s not calling it Number 5!
It will be released next month, just in time to compete with all the other celebrity fragrances in becoming the top Christmas buy.
The 19-year-old insists that her scent isn’t an imitation of Victoria Beckham’s Intimately Beckham collection. She claims: “My scent is new and fresh – and I haven’t copied it off anyone. And I think David would prefer mine!”
But I just can’t seem to get enough of Chanelle at the moment. Her version of the secrets behind her and Ziggy’s relationship were plastered on the front of Heat this week as a retaliation to the story Ziggy told in Heat the week before.
And looking decidedly unsure about it, too. Don't worry, Kate - we'll look after you!
The one-time Owen Wilson squeeze was out in her grey patent heels in Soho last night - at celebrity haunt the Groucho Club, no less. Her hair scrunched up into a loose bun, Kate teamed her grey heels with grey tights (well, they make a welcome change from the ubiquitous black opaque ones, don't they?), a beautiful grey coat and a cute pale blue dress.
Razorlight frontman Johnny Borrell was also there - but we'll spare you a photo of him. Because he's not nearly half as pretty, is he?
As the England football team prepare for their all important match against Croatia tonight to secure a place in Euro 2008, the WAGS are doing their part too, with some essential last minute shopping. And these ladies will definitely not be letting their country down!
Carly Zucker, girlfriend of Chelsea player Joe Cole, certainly looks match-fit here as she searches the latest designer boutiques for that winning outfit.
Wearing ultra-skinny black jeans, chunky black biker boots, and fitted diamond-print jumper, Carly shows off her notoriously svelte figure, even in this freezing cold weather. Perfecting the look is a covetable black crocodile-skin bag.
We can only hope that the England boys look as stylish on the pitch as their other halves look off it. Come on England!
Altogether now; "Isn't sheeeee/Pretty in piiiiink..."
Yes, ladies, it's time for the latest picture from the Sex And The City set - and today's snap comes directly from the Diane Von Furstenberg store in the Meatpacking District.
Where, as you can see, Sarah Jessica Parker - sorry, Carrie Bradshaw - is doing a spot of shopping and looking rather '80s-like, in a pink shift dress accessorised with a studded black belt, a string of pearls and a pair of killer ankle shoes. I say 'shoes' rather than 'boots', because on close inspection, that's what they appear to be. Does this make SJP exempt from my style rule that nobody should wear ankle boots with bare legs? Well, yes, I think it does. So Ms Parker can breathe a sigh of relief.
If you're a fan of SJP's style - and let's face it, who isn't? - then find out how to copy it over at her Stylefile on OSOYOU.com. And don't forget to check out the Sex And The City List , which is full of fabulous items just like the ones the girls have been wearing on the film set. Studded belts included!
If there ever was a way to look even remotely stylish while roughing it in the jungle, it's no surprise that an ex-model would find it.
Not that Janice Dickinson is exactly on our style icons list, but we have to give her a gold star for trying. Especially in a climate that is about reusing one outback-friendly outfit for a number of weeks.
On last night's episode of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! Janice sported a red headscarf to hold back her wavy locks. Alice bands have been having a moment in fashion circles as the chosen hair accessory, and we've seen a few stylish celebrities tying on headscarves. For those of us who have been true to just two hairstyles (that's 'up' and 'down', to be specific), we're rethinking our scarves this season. Perhaps in a 60s sort of way rather than a jungle sweatband sort of way though.
Who knew we'd be looking to celebrities in a jungle for style tips?
My, things just go from good to better for Myleene Klass, don't they?
Not content with coming a respectable second on I'm A Celebrity, cracking America, having a baby and looking like this, the former Hear'Say star is just about to earn another £200,000 by appearing in Marks & Spencer's ad campaigns for another year.
“Myleene was gutted she couldn’t do the [Christmas] advert because she was heavily pregnant at the time," a source tells The Sun. “But after seeing the results of her in that red dress on billboards, M&S are more than keen to have her back on board. She’s going to sign the new deal any day now.”
Congratulations, Myleene. Let's hope it means Marks bring out a cute yellow jacket in their next range, eh?
No, not this man. Kate's pal and Sienna's latest squeeze Rhys Ifans.
According to today's Daily Mirror, things got heated between Ms Moss and Ms Miller at Davinia Taylor's 30th birthday party on Saturday night (to which Kate wore this rather fetching wet-leather outfit, left). And their "heated head-to-head was the talk of the lavish party."
"Kate was overheard telling the stunning actress: 'If you hurt Rhys, you'll have made an enemy for life,'" reports the Mirror. "'Treat him right and we'll leave you alone. But don't hurt him because we love him - and we always stick together."' Cripes. And with that, presumably, she flounced off in her wet-look leather trousers, leather jacket and peep-toe wedges. Not unlike Sandy in Grease.
Heather Mills launched her latest 'I'm A Nice Person Really. No Really' offensive yesterday - by advertising her green credentials.
Promoting a new poster campaign for Viva! (that's 'Vegetarians International Voice for Animals') she drove her 4x4 Mercedes to Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park, London - and gave a speech on how we should all drink rat's milk. Or something.
On a serious note, Heather/Viva!'s point about vegetarianism being good for the planet is a very real one (and I have to confess to feeling rather smug, as I am a clean-living, non planet-destroying vegetarian myself).
But if you want to do your bit to live more ecologically and can't face giving up bacon butties, then why not start by buying some green clothing instead? And no, I don't mean literally green - I mean shopping at brilliant stores like Adili. The planet (and Heather Mills) will thank you for it.
Alternatively, you can follow Heather's lead and invest in a slogan T-shirt or two. Get some inspiration from our List on OSOYOU.com.
Signs That Your Career Has Gone Downhill, No.12: Instead of sending you loads of free stuff, a designer sues you for damaging their image.
And that's exactly what luxury French designer label Louis Vuitton has done to Britney Spears.. or at least: her record company, its parent company and MTV Online. And what's more, they've sued successfully.
The case revolves around the video to Britney's 2005 "hit" Do Something. In the vid, Britney drives a pink Hummer floating on make-believe clouds (a fact which I'm surprised Hummer buyers haven't sued her for - surely they can't really float?). One shot shows Britney's fingers drumming on the Hummer's dashboard... which is covered with what looks like Vuitton's 'cherry blossoms' design: dark pink blossoms on a pale pink, web-like background, embossed with the 'LV' logo. Oops.
Cue the LV-clad suits getting very shirty indeed, claiming that this was a breach of counterfeiting laws - and a court case which they've just won. Accusing Britney's people of an "attack" on Louis Vuitton's brands, they've won substantial damages against Sony BMG and MTV, and had the offending video removed from the internet.
What's that? You didn't know that Jennifer Aniston was getting married? Or even dating?
Well, nor did we. Which is why we were just as surprised as you to see this picture of Jen's nuptials... until we realised it was just a pretend wedding, silly!
Yes, Jennifer was filming a wedding scene with Woody Harrelson yesterday on the set of their new film Management, which according to the blurb, is about "A traveling art saleswoman trying to shake off a flaky motel manager who falls for her and won't leave her alone." Sounds grrreat!
And if you want to 'steal Jennifer's bridal style', all you'll need is a long white hippy dress, a pair of black Uggs, and a packet of chestnut hair dye. Et voila! A fake wedding can be yours, too.
The pros and cons of fake boobs in the jungle according to Janice:
Pro: You apparently don't need to wear a bra.
The ex-model admitted she wasn't wearing one, saying, "Why should I? I paid good money for these puppies." Strike one item off the list for Janice's survival kit.
Con: Constant fear of "popping" implants during challenges.
Janice admitted to this fear after one trial required her to balance on the high wire. To be fair, she could also worry about breaking one of her $120,000 porcelain veneers or damaging her facelift.
We are looking forward to much more of the world according to Janice this season on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!
But for now, the rest of us mere mortals will be wearing our bras and happily carefree about the possibility of a pop (water-bra wearers be warned).
Okay, okay so it was a kiss on the cheek. But there were two such kisses that took place and it's certainly enough to send Marc's live-in girlfriend into a tizzy.
The ex-East Ender and Catatonia singer Cerys have been getting especially flirty since the show began last week. It started with romantic walks along the creek, kisses on the neck (which surely are even more heated than a peck on the cheek)... and the two have just been getting closer. Suppose he just can't resist a woman in a red bandana.
Their budding relationship has made Marc's girlfriend Sarah Matravers furious. She recently flew to Australia to support him, but now, she says, "I want to throttle him."
After suffering a couple of injuries, consistent low marks from the judges and curious wardrobe choices, Kate Garraway was finally booted off Strictly Come Dancing. All four judges voted that the GMTV host be cut from the competition.
To be fair, we would have voted her off because of this particular dress choice alone. The ruffle, the sheer tight sleeves, the fuschia lining, the purple embroidery... wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. If there ever was a Don't.. this is it. This dress the opposite of everything we love about the dresses on Strictly.
We think Kate should have checked out our Strictly Come Dancing - Get the Look List for some pointers before she took to the stage. It probably wouldn't have helped the dancing itself, but it would have made for a much more stylish exit.
Looking to be a Strictly Come Dancing do on your own dancefloor? Then head to our Glitz and Glam Stylefile for a little inspiration.
Victoria Beckham makes her much talked about appearance on Ugly Betty this week.
The Spice Girl plays maid of honour at the wedding of Wilhelmina Slater and Bradford Meade, but this is not the first time Posh has graced us with her acting talents – we all remember Spice Girls: The Movie, right?
Sporting her trademark blonde ‘Pob’ and pout, Posh causes outrage when upstages the bride-to-be as she steps out of the dressing room in a stunning Vera Wang gown before she is ordered into a beige smock and (shock, horror) - flats.
The entire Beckham brood came to see Victoria film the scenes earlier this year, including husband David. He told reporters: ‘It's going to be very funny - she played herself or what people think is her, so she enjoyed it.’
Whether or not the British public will enjoy it will be revealed on Friday night...
Is there any star's style more frustrating than Lindsay Lohan's?
Sometimes, she looks truly awful. Occasionally, she looks great. But most of the time she looks "meh" (a sound which has to be accompanied by a shrugging of the shoulders).
A case in point: the outfit Lindsay stepped out in to go house-hunting in LA yesterday (well, staying at the Chateau Marmont so often is quite a strain on the old purse strings, isn't it?).
The silver dress is "meh". The silver shoes are "meh". The black trilby is pretty cute, but when worn by that dress, is somehow "meh". Still, what do I know? Do I have millions in the bank and am I going house-hunting for a luxury home in Los Angeles right now? No. So I'll shut up.
Ugly Betty star America Ferrera kept it remarkably low-key at the premiere of Enchanted last night in Hollywood.
While those around her, notably Terri Hatcher and Carrie Underwood, were dressed up to the nines - and the likes of Rihanna and Beyonce were glamming it up over at the AMAs, America wowed the red carpet crowd in... erm, a pair of jeans and a black top.
She looks a little like she's going to a house party - but hey, there's nothing wrong with that. In fact, I'd go as far as saying: it's utterly refreshing. But what do you think? Vote in our poll!
We've all been there - it's Saturday night and there's some lame family party that you have to go to because, well, it's family. But your mate's having a way cooler bash down the road and, oh, it's just not fair!
Or at least that's how I'm guessing it went down at Princess Beatrice's palace this weekend when she skipped out on her cousin Peter Philips’ 30th birthday dinner at Cocoon to hotfoot it over to friend Davinia Taylor’s 30th bash.
Ditched the Royal party (sorry), including Prince William and girlfriend Kate Middleton, to hang out with the likes of Kate Moss, Sienna Miller, and Kelly Osbourne, who were all out to celebrate.
Bea looked ultra casual in her skinny jeans and flat ballet pumps, keeping the cold at bay with her giant blue pashmina – because we all know those s'lebs can't do without their long scarves.
To pick up your own gorgeous wrap, go to our Trend alert: Long scarves List to see the best that's available online right now.
Looks like the public just hasn't seen enough of Paris Hilton. A new sex tape of the heiress has surfaced on the internet.
No Rick Salomon in this one though. It's just a very nude Paris, a bubble bath and, erm, a shower head.
The resurfacing of Paris's scandal-ridden persona has been evident mostly in her style. She's gradually dropped the cardigan and pearls (though she brings them out every once and a while just to refresh her sweet image) in favour of stockings and suspenders. And here she is driving away from Les Deux Club in Los Angeles, sporting furry wristlets. The fetish-gear reference is kind of unavoidable at this point isn't it?
We've got all of Paris's flip-flopping style secrets on her Stylefile, so check it out for either a cardigan or a pair of fishnets, or for her lovely party-hopping frocks. You'll note that we haven't included a stylish video camera. That's one secret we're really hoping Paris will start keeping to herself.
In what is probably soon to be the worst kept secret in showbiz after Jennifer Lopez's pregnancy, it looks like Nicole Kidman is also sporting a growing baby bump.
Nicole showed it off when she appeared in court in Sydney at the weekend, giving evidence in a defamation case against a paparazzi photographer.
Dressed in a grey pencil skirt, cream blouse and pale pink cardigan, and with her hair in a loose bun, Nic was the very picture of poise as she told the court about a car chase involving the photographer in question.
And as for that baby bump? Well, as Nicole's spokesperson said back in June, when rumours were flying, "it truly is no one's business". So we'll just leave it at that, shall we? ;-)
OK, stupid idea, I can't type one-handed. But seriously though, not only did they manage to sing live and look stunning in metallics this Saturday on The X Factor (take a note, Spice Girls) - but how gorgeous is this cover for new album, Tangled Up?
And pretty easy to recreate style-wise too, if you have some black opaque tights, a few well-placed accessories and, erm, an extra-long phone cord handy.
There's no denying that she's got a figure to die for - but did Beyonce do the right thing dressing it in this for the AMAs?
Depending on how you look at it, it's either a glamorous satin fishtail evening gown; or it's American Music Awards Barbie. I'm not sure there's any inbetween...
Sorry, but the starlet who can normally do no wrong has done wrong.
Rihanna, Rihanna - what were you thinking?!
You may have been the star of the year. You may have made it impossible for us to say "umbrella" without adding "ella-ella-ella" at the end. But there really is no excuse for the bizarre, skimpy Armani Prive outfit you wore to last night's AMAs. I'm not even sure Victoria Beckham would have been seen in it. And that's saying something.
If you want a reminder of how Rihanna can get it OSO right, check out her Stylefile over on OSOYOU.com. I can guarantee that this dress won't be in it... but dozens of other gorgeous Rihanna-like items will be.
Kate Moss has EVER SO SLIGHTLY CHANGED HER OUTFIT.
I may have to go and lie down.
*Lies down*
*Gets up again*
As I was saying yesterday, Kate Moss is an expert in How To Pack Lightly. She wore her tuxedo jacket and suede boots when she flew out to New York. She wore her tuxedo jacket and suede boots when she was in New York. And now she's just arrived back in England - and what's the first thing she steps out in? Her tuxedo jacket and suede boots.
Only, of course, there's one slight difference. Actually, if you include the scarf: two. I'll leave it to the eagle-eyed amongst to you spot it. And if you like them, to grab your own pair here.
While Sarah Harding was larking around in skimpy stockings and bowler hats last night - which is always the sign of a good Saturday night for me, too - Kate Middleton was keeping things rather more dignified in Mayfair.
Our Future Queen (Probably) was out on the town celebrating Peter Phillips's birthday. He's Princess Anne's son, in case you've forgotten. Or care. The Royal party (geddit?) made its way from swanky restaurant Cocoon to even swankier members' club Volstead. According to its website, Volstead is "an oasis of elegance in London's Mayfair" and "rekindles the atmosphere of our most socially hedonistic times." Blimey. Do you suppose Girls Aloud went down there for their after-party?
But enough of these trivial details - let's concentrate on what Kate was wearing, shall we? Because that's not trivial at all. She was dressed, as you can see, in a very nice double-breasted white winter coat, which she teamed with a black bag, black opaque tights and black suede boots not unlike those Kate Moss has been sporting recently. Although Posh Kate's were far less dirty than Model Kate's, of course.
Kate was also presumably wearing something else underneath that coat - but for now we'll have to settle with her outer layers: one of which you can copy right here. And check out our Fab Winter Coats Stylefile for even more winter warmers fit for royalty... and commoners.
Eighties-throwback Kimberly Stewart (sorry, but that haircut is bordering on Flock of Seagulls) hit the stores of Bond Street yesterday.
Shortly before hotfooting it down to London's most exclusive shopping street, Kimberly was interviewed at Radio One. I don't know whether she got the job as tea girl, but hey - we all like to feel a little cocky after we think an interview's gone well, and start spending our new salary straight away, don't we? So you can't really blame the girl for going to, erm, Gucci and Yves Saint-Laurent.
As you can see, Kimberly's outfit for this little retail excursion was black, black and more black - contrasted with the red of her Alexander McQueen skull scarf (Nicole Richie has a penchant for the red ones, too) and the soles of her five-inch heel, over-the-knee, Christian Louboutin boots. Five-inch heels which she swiftly swapped for flat ballet pumps mid-way through her shopping trip. Because even Kimberly Stewart is human, you know.
Is it just me, or is the filming of the Sex And The City taking forever? Have they had bad weather, or something?
Erm... possibly. Because Sarah Jessica Parker here was out with her umbrella-ella-ella on the set in New York's West Village (where she lives in real life) yesterday. And she teamed her umbrella-ella-ella (sorry, it's like a tic) with baby blue gloves, a big white bag, a belted grey swing mac and a we-hope-it's-not-real-fur wrap.
And if you're loving Sarah Jessica's style, you might like to know that we've got a very similar belted grey swing mac and identical faux fur wrap over on OSOYOU.com (what are the chances?!) - as well as a Sex And The City List full of copies of the girls' gorgeous wardrobe. Umbrellas pending...

I never thought I'd say this: but doesn't Danielle Lloyd look tasteful?
In fact, I'd go so far as saying: she looks really nice. The grey swing jacket, the silver scarf, the opaque tights with bow-tied shoes, the contrasting bag... Who'd have thunk it?!
Actually, when I first saw this picture, I was a little confused. Not because Danielle was covered up - although that was very disorientating, admittedly - but because I thought she was supposed to be out in the Australian jungle somewhere.
And then I realised: that's Gemma Atkinson.
Well, it's so easy to get these girls confused, isn't it? Thank goodness one of them is covered up, and one's in the Southern Hemisphere - otherwise I'd never be able to tell them apart.
Lindsay was actually "watching the sunset", if the picture agency is to be believed, after being released from jail. And no wonder she's having a cigarette - she spent a whole 84 minutes in there. Goodness knows how she coped.
But I don't want to talk about Lindsay's offences. I want to talk about the interesting style points of this photo - and draw your attention to the fact that:
- Lindsay's hand is very pale, whereas her face is very orange
- She's wearing black nail varnish
- She's wearing three (count 'em!) rings on her engagement finger
- Erm, that's it.
None of the above is a very good look... But if you at least like Lindsay's yellow hoodie, then you'll be pleased to know you can buy one right here on OSOYOU.com. The orange fake tan and black nail varnish, we're working on...
Ladies of Britain (nay, the world): don't worry if you find yourself standing in front of your wardrobe today thinking: "I only like about six things here. Guess I'll wear this old stalwart outfit again..." Because if it's good enough for The World's Most Stylish Woman, it's good enough for the rest of us.
Yes, Kate Moss is queen of Wearing The Same Thing All The Time - which fortunately, when you're an international jetset model, means she's a very light packer. As she proved when she was snapped shopping at Marc Jacobs in New York yesterday.
Kate was wearing the same tuxedo-style jacket and black suede boots she flew out in (I direct the Right Honorable Member to the picture I posted some days ago); and the same grungey jumper she sported for a trip to a vintage boutique in London a few weeks ago.
But, hey - if you're loving that tuxedo jacket as much as Kate is, get your mitts on your very own here and check out all the great items in our Kate Moss Stylefile on OSOYOU.com. Not that you need to buy that many, of course.
Mary-Kate Olsen's ability to walk in some of the shoes she wears is truly astounding. Good thing she has pal designer Giambattista Valli by her side to prop her up this time.
Mary-Kate wore a voluminous white minidress and a pair of sky-high neon pink and white platforms to the Seventh on Sale Gala last night. Her designer pal designed the outfit and escorted her to the event. His outfit for the night was a more traditional double-breasted tuxedo. So easy to be a guy isn't it?
You have to love Mary-Kate's fashion courage. And this outfit is one we'd definitely like to try. So, to grab a similar ensemble head to our Get the Look List. Unfortunately we can't offer a fabulous fashion designer to accessorise your outfit.
The Armory in New York City was host to the Seventh on Sale Gala, an event to kick off the CFDA and Vogue initiative to fundraise for AIDS and HIV. Seventh on Sale is the first-ever global sample sale which is taking place on eBay until December 7th.
Don't act so coy Kate! If you are going to wear avant guard fashion, you've got to work it.
Kate Bosworth donned a red asymmetrical frock for the Seventh on Sale Gala last night. One fur-covered sleeve was enough to keep her warm in the minidress apparently.
I've always been a fan of Kate's style, no matter how edgy she gets. But the jury's still out on this one.

Jennifer Connelly sure has some fashion-forward style secrets up her sleeve. She never fails to look as though she's walking straight off a catwalk. Wearing a gorgeous red Oscar de la Renta gown and gold peep toes, she looked striking walking into the Seventh on Sale Gala last night.
I think I've found my own celebrity whose wardrobe I'd love to raid! But I would need a few red carpet events to attend... But, Carrie went to McDonald's in Oscar on Sex and the City. Who says I can't?

How could we resist doing another Dita Von Teese post when she's stepping out looking like this?

If Dita's gold and black Marchesa gown is up for grabs, I may consider a second mortgage!
These days, you're not a real pop diva until you get pregnant... and continue wearing the highest heels you can find.
It wasn't news to us when Christina Aguilera confirmed her pregnancy last week. She's hardly been hiding it in form fitting t-shirts. Those scarves didn't fool us! But when she was out on the town proudly bearing her baby bump for the first time this week at the Rock the Vote launch in Beverly Hills, we finally got a glimpse of her maternity style. She chose a forest green (the new It-colour, don't you know?) cap sleeve dress, black tights, and... black Louboutins.
Only a pop princess like Christina would teeter in stilettos during her third trimester.
'I'm always able to work my heels,' the singer declared. 'I don't care how big or small I am!'
Things have been heating up between Catatonia singer Cerys Matthews and ex-East Ender Marc Bannerman for a while now - and last night's I'm a Celeb showed just how close they've become.
Walks alone to the creek? Kisses on the neck? Massaging in sun lotion (to come in tonight's show)?
If you ask me, there's way too many lingering looks between those two for comfort - especially when Marc has a girlfriend back in the UK.
Still, I'm impressed that Cerys can attract the opposite sex while surviving one waterfall shower and T-shirt/ combats wardrobe. She obviously packed one killer of an 'essentials' knapsack.
Looks like Jessica Simpson has embraced the new tuxedo trend that is sweeping through Hollywood right now. And my, doesn’t she do it well?
Jess was snapped out and about in New York after guest hosting on the US talk show The View on Thursday. She told the ladies on the show that she desperately wanted a ‘really great family guy – with a cute butt’.
In the meantime, guess she's settling for having a great butt herself - in those tight jeans, there ain't nowhere to hide!
I love the way Jess has teamed her black jacket with those jeans, tan leather knee high boots and a fantastic snakeskin shopper.
It’s just a shame she has to do the obligatory celeb thing and keep those sunnies on her head - even though it's obviously raining!
You really can get away with anything if you're a celeb, can't you?
This is Heroes star Hayden Panettiere at the grand opening of the Lamborghini Calabasas showroom in conjunction with the Race To Fight Epilepsy campaign this Wednesday night.
Looking like she'd been snapped on her way to a late night booty call, Hayden clearly couldn't be bothered to pick out a dress for the evening. So she went for this flasher mac option instead.
Don't get me wrong, it's a great coat. And I love those black peep toe heels. But what's she going to do when she gets inside and someone asks to take her coat? Or it starts getting hot?
Cue mega embarrassment. And I don't use the word 'mega' very often (not since MC Hammer stopped being my music of choice), so now you know how strongly I feel about this.
She makes it look so easy doesn't she? Who doesn't have a black pencil skirt, boat-neck jumper and black courts in their closet at home?
But Dita Von Teese manages to make it look like a style revelation!
Out at the AIDS Fund event at the MAC store in New York City last night the burlesque star and face of MAC's Viva Glam campaign had her Forties wave in check and red nail polish un-chipped. Her look was about simple separates and a lovely red floral print top to tie in the red of her nails, her lips and, of course, her soles.
Okay, so maybe it's easy to get all the details right when you have a make-up artist and hair and wardrobe stylists at your side for an event. But, yesterday we saw her looking flawless just arriving at her hotel!
We're in awe Dita. And truly inspired to go out and find our inner Dita diva on your Stylefile. But first, we need to find the perfect red lipstick. And we need your help! Head to our List dedicated to our search and add that red that hasn't let you down.
The Spice Girls were on stage together for the first time in almost 10 years last night at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles. And though the show doesn't air on TV in the US for another couple of weeks, we have the rundown on all of their wardrobe changes right here on OSOYOU.com.
The girls lip synched to two songs, starting the night off with an old classic 'Stop' clad in military uniforms. If you've ever seen Bette Midler's spunky rendition of 'Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy' in the film For the Boys, think of that but a sexed up version with some very handsome male dancers.
Geri showed off her toned pins in an army green jumpsuit. Both Mel B. and Emma wore very tight dresses with plunging necklines showing off those new-mum boobs. Mel C. kept in line with her Sporty Spice character and was the only one in trousers - but they were a fantastic pair with a high waist and wide leg. Her corset belt pulled it all together. And, Victoria was, well, in her regular uniform, as she wore a clingy blouse, wide belt cinched at her waist, and a very slim pencil skirt. All topped it off with a cute military-style cap and black leather gloves. Click here to check out all of the looks.
They also performed their new single 'Headlines', but opting for glam gowns for this one. Ginger, Sporty, Scary, Baby and Posh were all on their fashion-forward game last night. Head to our List of their red carpet looks from last night to take a look at their arrival style. Good decision to leave the lingerie to the models. We salute you girls. Can't wait for the tour wardrobe!
Yep, the same Paris Hilton who unveiled her new perfume yesterday, wearing a pretty pink dress, pearls and high heels.
The 27-year old fashionista, who’s usually seen in nothing but designer, was snapped coming out of a hotel in New York yesterday morning. Wearing white trainers (we know), trackie bottoms, a bright blue zip-up sweatshirt and huge dark sun glasses, she looked pretty, well...normal.
Is this a new look for Pazza?
Having just been to Seoul in South Korea to promote giant sports label Fila Korea, it looks like Ms Hilton is continuing with the expansion of her mini empire, apparently hoping to extend her own fashion business to Asia.
Apparently, her one year endorsement contract is worth $1million, and Fila chose Paris as their ‘face’ because of her sexy, fashionable image. Just right for tracksuits then!
Appearing at the premiere for Jessica Alba's new film, Awake, Rach looked stunning in this gorgeous colour block dress - Kimberley Stewart, no offence, but this is how it's done.
Although it borders on the Alice in Wonderland, her thin black belt pulls Rachel's dress right back into Autumn/ Winter '07. Simple accessories and a pair of trusty Louboutins, and a girl's ready to go!
Oh, don't make that face Cheryl. You said it, we didn't!
Well, okay we did. But Cheryl has been candid about her chav tendencies. "When I was younger I was a proper chav," the Girls Aloud member admitted. "I'd be like, 'yeah, I got a new trackie'." We are thankful that you keep those tracksuits hidden Chez. High waisted jeans with a fashionable fringe are much more flattering for you now. And we certainly hope that trackies are on your list of fashion favourites on the new Girls Aloud Style DVD.
But imagine Girls Aloud out at the next event in co-ordinating chav chic outfits...
Obviously we love a good party dress here at OSOYOU.com. And the more spangly the better as far as we're concerned. We even have a list dedicated to those Strictly Come Dancing dresses.
But, we think that Chanelle needs to head straight to our winter coat list. Pronto. You are going to catch a cold darling! Yesterday we remarked on your flapper-style VLBD at Nobu. And last night you headed to China White in this tiny blue sequin number. Tomorrow we would love to remark on how you've stylishly topped your dress with a gorgeous belted coat. And a pair of tights wouldn't hurt either.
Are these new mini dresses a post break-up move? Of course they are. And we can appreciate the intention. But don't let a cold ruin your post break-up party circuit.
So that explains the bras they wear in their new video. Okay, I get it. They didn't just forget their tops.
The Spice Girls are set to perform at the infamous Victoria's Secret Fashion Show which airs December 4th in the US. This will be their first television appearance since reuniting. And they'll be sharing the stage with Seal. Rumours are swirling that Seal's girl Heidi Klum will take pause from strutting in her smalls to duet with him for a number. Not sure I'm ready for another model turned singer. Good thing Ginger, Posh, Sporty, Scary and Baby are all on hand to, ahem, 'Headline' the event. Kanye West was due to perform but has cancelled his appearance. His mother recently passed away due to complications in cosmetic surgery.
Well, get ready for a few more bras from the Spice Girls. In fact maybe even a full lingerie clad five. So get in the spirit, channel your own Victoria's Secret beauty and head to our Lingerie Lady Stylefile.
The company announced the arrival of their first ever J cup bra sizes today, claiming there's now more demand for bigger sizes. Their biggest cup size had previously been a G.
Great news - but do you know the best bit? They're available online now! Just click here to check them out.
The bikini she donned to bathe in certainly left little to the imagination. The scene was very much like that of Myleene Klass's romp in a waterfall last season. And it has us wondering if we have another exhibitionist member on our hands. Well, we don't really need to wonder do we. Let's just hope she has more than one bikini because that Hawaiian print will get old very fast.
But the ex-Hollyoaks star turned lingerie designer was baring more than skin in last night's episode. She talked openly about her future plans that include going to Namibia, adopting a child (her campmates have deemed her to be their Angelina Jolie) and moving into music. Apparently she has signed a deal to record an album in Nashville. Wonder if Dolly Parton is an idol of hers?
You know what the difference is between me and Kelly Osbourne? Well, apart from the obvious (bat-eating dad, tons of tattoos and a multi-million dollar fortune).
When I go to the hairdresser, I'm sure that this time, I'll go for something drastic. Around an hour later, I leave with pretty much the same hairstyle I went in with. Just an inch shorter.
But Kelly? She's a hairdresser's dream.
Kels showed off her severe new cropped 'do at Elton John's AIDS Foundation celebrity cocktail party last night, matching her dyed black locks with an equally dark ensemble.
Channelling the new 'gothic' look (with more than a hint of Dita Von Teese), she teamed this long black velvet high-waisted skirt with a black patent belt and top. And she even found time to get the perfect shade of red lipstick to match the AIDs Foundation ribbon! I see what you're doing, Kels - and I like it.
Last time I arrived at a hotel in one of the world's most glamorous capitals (Paris, three weeks' ago, to be precise) I was wearing last year's battered Parka, hopelessly over-faded jeans of neither the skinny or boyfriend variety, 'comfy' shoes (yep, that's ugly comfy shoes), dragging an old wheelie suitcase still with the loft dust attached, and sporting a wind-blasted pink face.
This is Dita arriving at her New York hotel last night.
Hmm. No prizes for spotting the difference. Genuinely, I couldn't speak for a few moments when this pic landed in the office this morning, other than to utter a slightly pathetic 'wow'. This is style porn isn't it? Staring at it is just sheer, unadulterated joy. This woman is beautiful. Dita Von Teese is gorgeous. And the same age as me too (always a boost). I think I'm going to make her my screensaver, and, friends, not even my cat has made it to my screensaver.
So, notes to self:
Spend more money on great tailoring and better quality fabrics. It shows, especially when it's for black garments. Check out the shoulders and the sleeves on this jacket.
Red nail-varnish looks fantastic, especially blue-toned reds, rather than orange. Try it. Go the whole hog and do toe-nails too. It separates the men from the boys, so to speak! (Handy when dating.)
Pale is very, very beautiful. Pale with raven hair and red lips is breathtaking. You are pale. And dark-haired. Make the most of it!
Grooming is a good thing. Shape your eyebrows and wax legs. Yep, even in winter.
Sometimes it's better to hold on the jewellery. Especially if the make-up's quite strong.
Laboutin shoes? Don't think too hard about it, just do it. They can't fail to make me feel special.
Jessica Alba's red carpet style rarely lets us down at a film premiere. Style wise that is. The lacy LBD she wore last night is excuse enough for us to go no comment on Good Luck Chuck.
In New York for the premiere of her new film Awake (also starring the hunky Hayden Christensen), Ms. Alba was lovely lace. With a black lace overlay, scalloped neckline and puffed lace sleeves this dress isn't just any old LBD. Add a pair of black tights, the obligatory Louboutins (If only we all could feel obliged to sport the red soles!) and you've got yourself a winner.
We're also noting the black dress with silver heels trend that's going on at the moment. We saw Chanelle try it out with a flapper style dress, but we're thinking the addition of a pair of opaque black tights here really makes the look. But then Jessica does have all the details right: diamond drop earrings, burgundy manicure, wavy up-do.
Even though she's making the move to London, it's good to see Kimberly Stewart keeping up appearances in, um, US politics circles.
The model/TV personality/celebrity offspring/professional party girl took time off of her reality show Living with Kimberly Stewart (where she'll be picking a lucky roommate for her pad in London) made a colourful entrance on the red carpet for the launch of Rock the Vote in Beverly Hills last night. Not too sure how she'll be encouraging young Americans to vote next year as an ex-pat in London, but with a private jet anything is possible. Let's hope she doesn't repeat her pal Paris Hilton's mistake last election and forgets to vote.
But whether or not she's influence enough for people to vote, her dress is certainly inspiring us to grab some colour blocks of our own. She looked fab in a black Tina Kavilas dress with neon colour blocking and newly chopped platinum locks.
Over at OSOYOU.com, not only do we love Angelina Jolie's sophisticated style - which you can achieve by clicking onto Angelina's Stylefile - we also admire her efforts at offering a home to orphaned children. However, it seems her role as mother to one of her adopted children is today being questioned.
Ethiopian Mentewab Dawit Lebiso, the woman claiming to be the natural mother of two-and-a-half-year-old Zahara, claims she never signed adoption papers to give up her daughter. Jolie adopted Zahara over two years ago, who at the time was believed to have been orphaned by AIDS at just six months. Despite this, Lebiso and her family claim they were misled into giving up the child and told they could maintain contact with the baby. However, the adoption agency involved said Jolie had no obligation to keep in touch with Zahara’s blood family.
We hope that all the parties involved work out a happy ending to this story and we wish the best for both baby Zahara and Angelina Jolie.
We giggled when Janice Dickinson suffered her first bushtucker trial, we cried (with laughter) when Malcolm McLaren refused to enter the jungle and we looked on in despair as Katie Hopkins entered the Australian rainforest.
Yep, the ‘reigning queen of b*****s’ – her words, not ours – officially entered the jungle yesterday intending to, "cause arguments, create tensions and be rude to other people’s sensitivities". That’ll be a fun time had by all then.
However, bizarrely enough, Hopkins has made an unlikely pal in the other alpha female of the jungle, Janice Dickinson. Despite telling her group Snake Rock that people know her as the biggest b***** in Britain, Janice defended her by saying people should be allowed to say what they think.
I have to say that I kind of agree with Dickinson. Who doesn’t want to tell it like it is every now and again? However, since none of us want to become the most hated women of Britain (we’ll leave that to people who rant on GMTV and water flinging BB housemates - you know who you are!), I think we should stick to the logo T-shirts in our Top 10 Statement T-shirt list.
That's Very Little Black Dress, in case you were wondering.
And she stepped out in it for dinner at Nobu in London last night.
Let's hope the napkin covered up the rest of her, eh?
Cute shoes though. Both she and Paris are loving the metallic shoe today. Grab a pair of your own on our Metallic Footwear Under £75 list. Or, click on the shoes below. Loving her mini look? Get more of her Nobu style by checking out Chanelle's sexy LBD list.
Call me an old-fashioned fuddy-duddy - although not to my face, obviously - but I'm yet to be convinced by the ankle-boot trend.
Case in point: Lindsay Lohan out and about yesterday. Shopping at Chanel.
Shopping at Chanel for a new outfit, hopefully.
I'm not sure this slightly tacky dress would look great on anyone, but certainly against Lindsay's pale skin, in the daytime, it doesn't work. And it certainly doesn't work with those hideous ankle boots.
I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that the Golden Rule of The New Ankle-Boot Trend is only wear them if a) they're definitely the new style, not '80s-style; b) you're also wearing opaque tights or skinny trousers; c) you have legs like a gazelle and/or you're Kate Moss or Sienna Miller. And even then, with caution. You have been warned.
Yes, take a look at the new face of Marks and Spencer, folks - it's the never-knowingly-less-than-beautiful Lily Cole.
Lily strutted her stuff (and sat down in it) at the launch of the store's spring/summer 2008 Limited Collection this morning. She'll be the exclusive face of the new range - which goes on sale in January - and join the likes of Erin O'Connor, Twiggy and Myleene Klass for an advertising campaign early next year.
"We are thrilled that Lily has joined us as the face of Limited Collection," said M&S Marketing Director Steve Sharp. "Her striking beauty goes without saying and her commitment to environmental issues makes for a great partnership with M&S."
If you're a fan of M&S, check out the very best of its range and buy it online at OSOYOU.com.
I know that leather will never really go out of fashion - especially if you, y'know, own a motorbike - but who knew that it was back in fashion in quite such a big way?
Black leather jacket? Check. Short satin party frock? Check. Turning on the Christmas lights in Birmingham? Erm, well, actually - more 'Going out for the night in New York before launching her perfume at the Ritz Carlton the following day'. But, you know, it was almost an identical situation there for a moment.
So, who wears it best? Vote in our poll above!
Fancy grabbing your own? Well, click on the jacket below.
Things just aren’t looking up for Amy these days. We really did have hope for her after she stepped out in that pencil skirt last week. But style is the least of her worries at the moment.
Yesterday she tried to visit Blake Fielder-Civil in jail for the first time but was rejected. Her husband is only allowed to have one visitor per day and his mum took the spot without Amy’s knowledge. Word is that after Blake’s arrest last week, his parents have been blaming Amy and her social circle for being a bad influence. Earlier this week they didn’t let her know the time of the next court appearance, so Amy missed the hearing that decided to adjourn Blake’s case for a couple of weeks. And she missed an opportunity to break out those sophisticated outfits.
But, while Amy focuses on a few more important things in her life, we will be reminiscing about the good old days on her Stylefile. The rockabilly look is still going strong too. Just check out our list of hot tartan items to introduce into your wardrobe.
...ok, I jest. However, they definitely win the award for cutest bridesmaids ever. Now now, no fighting over it girls!
They almost won the award for shortest bridesmaids ever but were narrowly beaten by Thumbelina who was flower girl at the same wedding. Seriously, how tiny are they? The groomsmen even had to take of his shoes just to catch a glimpse of the top of their heads!
Regardless, both look beautiful in their own uniquely stylish way; Mary-Kate all vintage boho and Ashley modern yet classic. Careful girls, you might have upstaged the bride if you looked this gorgeous as bridesmaids.
You may have 2 Hearts for Kylie and be ecstatic that the Spice Girls are back in the Headlines (see what I did there?) but Leona Lewis is giving both the veteran pop acts a run for their money.
Not only has the X Factor winner’s debut album Spirit sold nearly 100,000 more copies than the Spice Girls’ Greatest Hits album, her no.1 single Bleeding Love has also sold nearly 14,000 more copies than Kylie’s new track 2 Hearts.
Add to that the fact that Bleeding Love is the biggest selling song of the year and we could have a celebrity girl fight in our midst. Except for the fact that Leona Lewis and Kylie are two of the nicest women in pop and the Spice Girls are all grown-up(ish) mummies now. Where are Lily Allen and Girls Aloud when you need them, eh?
For more fashion every bit as sophisticated as Leona Lewis, get her look in this list dedicated to her style.
The Less Famous Hilton Sister was out having dinner in Hollywood last night - and wore a pretty eye-catching range of accessories, as you can see.
Yes, Nicky made sure she got spotted by complementing her blue eyes with a blue scarf... a blue bag... and blue shoes. Blue Christian Louboutin shoes, to be precise.
But, as we all know, Nicky is a mere amateur in the art of attention-seeking compared to her sister - a fact that's just been backed up by Hollywood gossip merchant Perez Hilton.
"That sweet voice Paris uses in interviews isn’t hers," he reveals in this week's Grazia. "Her voice is actually very deep, which is freaky. She’s smart, moody, calculating, and just wants to be famous." No! Really? Who'd have thought?!
Hayden Doodahwotsit was at The Paley Center for Media Annual Los Angeles Gala honouring Jeff Zucker and Dick Ebersol at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel last night.
...according to the caption for this photo on the picture agency website.
And didn't she look lovely? Actually, I'll go one step further and say: didn't she look perfect?
Honestly, you can't fault her. The dress. The bag, The shoes. The hair. It's so damn... perfect.
But don't be jealous, because you too can look like this. No, really. Just go to our Hayden Panettiere's LBD Chic List now!
News from the Kimberly Stewart camp; the L.A. party girl wants to be a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing. Yeah, join the queue love!
You’re not the only girl who watches the BBC1 show every Saturday, marvelling at the glitzy outfits and the fact that it’s a great workout. Me? I’ve got moves that’ll make Brendan blush and Alesha Dixon give up on the spot!
Yep, them there is fighting words and to get fighting fit, check out our Strictly Come Dancing Workout Wear list for exercise gear perfect to practise your Samba in.
Yes, anything the Spice Girls can do, Girls Aloud can do better. Or at least: one of them can.
Clearly realising that preening around in your bra and skirt is the career move du jour - take a look at the video to Headlines if you don't believe me - Sarah Harding took a leaf out of the Spice Girls' book yesterday, and did just that.
Although to be fair, she was launching the new Ultimo shop on Oxford Street.
Right, how many of you skipped a toilet break during I’m a Celebrity last night for fear of missing the debut of the Spice Girls Tesco ad?
Watching them trying to avoid each other in the advert whilst they bought their fellow bandmates’ gifts, one thing came to mind; the girls have millions between them and they’re buying their Christmas presents from Tesco's? Reported to have been paid a cool million each to do the advert by the mega supermarket, I’m guessing there'll be plenty of satsumas in those stockings.
For a look at Victoria Beckham strutting her stuff in Tesco, watch the advert here!
...as you do, when you're a major pop star on tour in Paris.
Yes, the Umbrella chantoozie performed in the French capital on Sunday night. And how did she spend the day after her gig? Hitting the shops, natch! Or rather: naturellement.
Rihanna was spotted going to Chanel, Louis Vuitton and other designer stores - and a very dashing young figure she cut too, in her cute striped jacket and a pair of frankly quite wacky over-the-knee stiletto boots. Yes, don't be fooled - those aren't plastic leg braces, those are the tops of her boots.
And if you'd like a pair yourself - or possibly something else from Rihanna's wardrobe - then check out her Stylefile on OSYOU.com. It even includes umbrellas. Ellas. Ellas.
A container of fish guts, eels or meal worms! Hands up who thinks those bush tucker trials sound more inviting then a night in the jungle with Janice Dickinson? Yup, the first episode of I’m a Celebrity screened last night and already I’m hooked.
What I’m loving? Janice spluttering after being dunked into vats of fish guts – sadistic I know but hilarious to watch. Who I’m loving? Former 5ive member Jason “J” Brown! Ok, ok, so J was part of probably one of the cheesiest boy bands around but you all knew the songs and you’re lying through your teeth if you didn’t think he was the cutie of the group back then.
Yep, I wouldn’t mind him tending to my mosquito bites in a hammock made for two. In fact, with him and my trusty pot of Vaseline, the one beauty item I couldn’t live without in the jungle, I reckon I could survive it. Why not head on over to the Stranded in the Jungle – The Quintessential Item list and show which fashion or beauty staples you couldn’t live without.
She's going on tour with the Spice Girls and going to do complicated (OK, possibly not) dance routines and everything - all despite having no feet! Why, look at her here, leaving a dance studio in LA yesterday. With her lovely big hair, her lovely cosy cardi and her lovely flared jeans and no feet.
You've got to admire her guts. Or is that: Girl Power?
Her wardrobe mainly consists of black, white and red clothes - so it wasn't going to be long before we saw Gwen Stefani in a coat like this, was it?
Yes, ladies - it looks like tartan is the new black. I know we've been telling you over on OSOYOU.com that Beta is the new black. But in fact, it's tartan.
Because first there was Lindsay Lohan, who stepped out in tartan tights at the weekend. And now style queen Gwen's been spotted in the trend, sporting a picnic blanket - sorry, coat - for Christina Aguilera's baby shower.
Personally, I'm all for it. And I'm not even Scottish. Tartan is a design classic that will never go away. Although I'm really still not too sure about those tights...
That jacket being her padded leather blouson (are they still called 'blousons'?).
Kylie Minogue left her swanky Paris hotel yesterday in a simple-but-effective look that we can all copy. A black quilted leather jacket, black heels, straight-leg jeans and sunglasses. Et voila! You too can be a pop princess. Especially if you do the sunglasses bit - because no normal people wear them in the winter, do they? Not unless they're skiing. But I digress.
Find out how to copy Kylie's pieces at our warm and cosy Kylie List on OSOYOU.com - and check out her Stylefile for even more items. Or if you are especially loving her jacket, click the very similar one below. And don't forget your sunglasses!
OK, so this might not be one for the 'Steal Her Look' list - but boy, doesn't Mel B look comfy and cosy in this outfit?!
The Uggs. The leggings. The leg warmers. The hoodie. The pink scarf. The curlers. It's like Bet Lynch Meets Britney Spears Meets The Kids From Fame. Fantastic!
I should of course point out that she was dressed like this because she was recording Dancing With The Stars (America's answer to Strictly Come Dancing). But personally, after enduring all the preening and pouting in their underwear in the 'Headlines' video, I think it's rather nice to see a Spice Girl (Other Than Mel C) covered up for a change. Adda girl, Mel!

I’ve never been Kylie Minogue's biggest fan. I can’t help it (she says, as she frantically dodges the rotten tomatoes), in spite of her elfin prettiness, chic fashion sense and annoyingly catchy new single Two Hearts, I’ve never really got her.
However, if they say that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, Kylie is making her way to mine with her new found cooking skills. In a bid to reclaim herself, Kylie tells Style magazine this weekend that she’s recently undergone a cookery course.
Yup, when the princess of pop isn’t spinning around in gold hot-pants (dated I know but who can forget) and making our inner child come back to life by reuniting with Jason Donavon on ITV one-off The Kylie Show, she’s in her La Cornue kitchen with celebrity chef Raymond Blanc, learning how to cook three types of soup, soufflé, omelettes, crepes, roast lamb, ice cream and sorbet in five and a half hours flat. Somehow, I don’t think she was offered a similar cookery course on Learn Direct.
Downside of all this cooking is that Kylie has had no-one to practise on yet. Well Ms. Minogue, I’m willing to get over any problems I have by being a willing recipient of your culinary skills. Should we make it 7pm this Friday? I’ll bring the Rosé; you’ll provide the three-course meal and all will be right with the world. Perfect!
Yes, Angelina Jolie has proved once again that she's able to wear ostensibly rather naff clothes and yet still look great - as she showed at last night's London premiere of Beowulf. She wore a casual-but-perfect black top, black leather trousers, her favourite black peep-toe heels, a gold chain and a Remembrance Day poppy. And that was it. And she looked great. Despite the leather trousers bit.
How does she do it?
Well, that gorgeous lioness mane of hers helps. And the smoky eyeshadow and nude lips. And of course her figure. But I think it's more in her sexy, cool maturity. Just ask the OSOYOU-ers in our "Older. Cooler" Group!
Another day, another celebrity reality show and it seems like the contestants on this year’s I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here, have much more to fear than mosquito bites, snakes and bush tucker trials. That’s right, you guessed it – Janice Dickinson.
If you’ve never been subject to the self-proclaimed ‘world’s first supermodel’ on America’s Next Top Model, her reality show with Abigail Clancy Abbey and Janice: Beauty and the Best or straddling Jonathan Ross then a.) Where have you been and b.) You’re in for a treat!
Famous for being a supermodel who loved the excess long before Kate Moss or Naomi Campbell could spell Gucci, bisexual Janice, who’s had over 1,000 lovers, already has I’m A Celebrity host Declan Donnelly in her sights after calling him a hottie! I have you in my prayers Dec.
However, more intriguing then wondering who she’ll reduce to tears first in the jungle (my money’s on PR guru Lynne Franks), is how exactly she’ll keep up her supermodel beauty standards. Not afraid to admit that she’s addicted to plastic surgery after having numerous Botox injections, a face lift and a boob job (I wouldn’t suggest getting too close to that camp fire Janice) how will she cope without basic beauty needs like mascara and a bit of lippy? As a matter of fact, how would I?
Over at OSOYOU.com we’ve put together the list, Stranded in the Jungle - The Quintessential Fashion Item, and listed the one beauty or fashion item we all just couldn’t live without in the wilderness. For me it’s all about good old Vaseline. Not very glamorous I know but they're the ultimate eyebrow tamer and I assure you, one glimpse of my brows in the morning is much scarier then chowing down on a plate of maggots!
Nodding off in the middle of a meeting or on the train are both forgivable public sleeping faux pas. But mid-sentence? That takes a special talent.
Or a touch of narcolepsy...
Amy Winehouse has reportedly left US interviewers wondering which it was for her after falling asleep in the middle of interviews. Last month she fell asleep in a series of interviews for US magazines such as Blender. She apologised, but it didn't help squash rumours of continuing drug use. A statement from her manager explained that the singer was taking prescription drugs which make her drowsy. I suppose the bottle would've only warned her against operating heavy machinary, not conducting press interviews.
But Amy is in luck! There's plenty of luxurious sleepwear on OSOYOU.com that would keep her comfortable for the next round of press. And you can check it out too for any upcoming napping adventures. Might as well do it in style.
Chelsy Davy has left her relationship with the ginger Prince up for speculation after deciding to leave the UK. Eight weeks into her two-year law course at Leeds University, the Zimbabwean blonde has decided to return home to Cape Town. She and Harry have been in a reportedly-rocky long distance relationship since 2004, but it seems Chelsy's move to England hasn't helped bring them closer.
Although friends say that the relationship isn't what sparked her to pack her bags. The real reasons? The cold, the university housing, and simply finding it hard to find good friends. Plus, word is that she was more concerned with getting her hands on official Royal protection rather than the Royal jewels. Her celebrity status in the UK means that she's constantly being papped.
But, while people are wondering about the status of Chelsy and Harry's relationship, here at OSOYOU.com we are questioning the status of her style. Since she moved to England her fashion sense has improved dramatically. Starting out she was what you might call a 'posh chav', in a parade of Uggs, miniskirts and camisoles. But heading into class in September she looks perfectly stylish in skinny jeans, a slouchy red jumper and a pair of fantastic sunglasses. Will she leave her style behind in the UK too?
Let's hope not. But only time will tell if a break-up haircut is on the cards. In the meantime, we can all sport her casual look by clicking here or click on the red jumper below.
Now, don't get me wrong. I love Leona Lewis. Love her. No, really. Read this.
I also love the midnight blue dress she was wearing at last night's switch on of the Birmingham Christmas lights.
But with those tights? And a black leather jacket? I'm thinking: no.
I know it was probably a bit cold. And Leona, as we all now know, is much better at keeping herself warm in this chilly weather than, for example, Nicole Kidman. But this look just doesn't sit right with me.
Am I being a bit harsh? Fashionistas of Britain (and the rest of the world - this is t'internet, after all), vote in the poll above!
Brangelina were snapped as they stepped out of their hotel, heading for dinner at swanky Japanese restaurant Roka (it's on Charlotte Street, since you ask).
Brad was wearing his favourite Billy-style grey cap, black leather jacket and grey trousers; while Angelia wore her favourite Kelly-style belted white coat. She teamed it with gorgeous wide-legged black trousers, black peep-toe heels - and bold scarlet lipstick which cunningly matched the Remembrance Day poppy she was wearing. Ah, only in the A-list world, eh..?
Lindsay Lohan has been out and about in LA this weekend. Lunching, shopping, lunching... you know the sort of thing. Goodness knows it's how I spend my weekends in Peckham.
But back to Lindsay: because she wore quite an array of outfits over this weekend, I can tell you. And here's the first of them: a cosy grey cardigan, black leggings, boots and bag, flowing hair.
She's a little too orange, and the cardigan's a little too Noel Edmonds, but overall it's really quite a cute look - and if you want to copy Lindsay's casual chic style, just check out our brilliant Get Lindsay's Look List on OSOYOU.com.
PS. As you can see, the title of this post is 'part one: the good'. There are two other parts. Can you see where this is going?
It's happened to all of us. You step off a 10-hour flight, and everyone thinks you're Kate Moss. Yes, even after a 10-hour flight you look like Kate Moss. It's a pain, but it's a cross some of us have to bear. Like poor Eva Herzigova here.
And yet it was an easy mistake to make. Imagine the scene. The paparazzi are lined up at the arrivals gate at Los Angeles airport, awaiting the entrance of one Ms Moss, hot off a flight from Heathrow. In the distance they spot a slim, blonde, floppy-haired woman in skinny black trousers and sunglasses. She's got good cheekbones (yes, even they can be spotted at a distance) and a slightly pointy chin. Who's not to think it's Kate Moss?
Cue the aforementioned paparrazzi going crazy with their flashbulbs... only to realise that said slim, blonde, pointy-chinned woman is actually a bit too tall to be Kate Moss. Unfortunately, it's only Eva Herzigova. Doh!
Kate Moss flew to Los Angeles on Thursday - as you do, when you're Kate Moss - and naturally she was snapped here at Heathrow, on arrival at LAX, and probably inbetween, eating a tiny packet of pretzels and ordering a white wine on the plane.
As you can see, Kate arrived at Heathrow clutching tiny Lila Grace wrapped up in a blanket* and sporting a typically understated, yet typically great, outfit to fly in. Wearing black leggings, black over-the-knee suede boots, a tuxedo-style jacket (get your very own here!) and black T-shirt with a lipstick print, she looked every inch the rock star. I mean: model. Her boyfriend's the rock star, right?
And if you love Kate's look and want to copy it, just check out our Kate Moss Stylefile on OSOYOU.com. It's full of loads of great, Moss-style items. And yes, most of them are black.
As anyone who knows anyone from sunny climes can tell you: people from warm countries have a tendency to dress as if they are still in that warm country even when they're clearly in a place which isn't warm. Yes, it may be winter in London/New York/Siberia, but that doesn't stop them walking around in shorts.
Or very short coats.
This is the only possible explanation I can give for Nicole Kidman's outfit the other night in New York. Nicole, Nicole: we know you've got lovely pins, but you could definitely learn a thing or two from lovely Leona Lewis here. Winter dressing doesn't have to mean looking like a flasher, you know.
We've been seeing her in a lot of posh frocks lately - so it's nice to find out what Leona Lewis wears when she's, you know, walking down the street and stuff, isn't it?
And if, like me*, you were wondering what the X-Factor beauty does wear when she's out and about - well, now you know. Because fortunately she was snapped arriving at The Late Late Breakfast Show (or whatever it's called) in Dublin last night.
Leona's got her winter style perfected with black, black, a touch of grey - and yes, one of those scarves. And I say those in italics not because of the political controversy surrounding the fashion for Shemagh scarves, but because every bloomin' Tom, Dick and Harry is wearing one. Even my ex-boyfriend. And I think I can safely say it's the only wardrobe item he's got in common with Leona Lewis. At least, I hope it is.
But I digress. Because the upshot is: doesn't Leona look lovely and cosy? I'm especially loving that big black coat with its unfeasibly long belt (long belts - they're the new long scarves!); and her black biker boots. And if you want to look even more like her, get your hands on this lookalike scarf from TopShop. Just don't tell my ex-boyfriend about it.
in a welcome change from looking like the Genie of the Lamp, Kylie Minogue stepped out of her hotel in Paris on Thursday night in a Very Lovely Dress Indeed. Of course, she had to go and ruin it with that silvery wrap thing and purple eyeshadow. But the dress, I'll give her. And the hair.
Kylie was in Paris to promote her new perfume Darling - and suitably enough, like fellow fashion and perfumery icon Sarah Jessica Parker, she stayed in the Georges V Hotel. Which, as any Sex and the City devotee will know, was the hotel that Carrie stayed in in the very last episodes of SATC. You know, where she fell asleep on the bed in That Great Big Frock. Not sure if Kylie fell asleep on her bed in that Little Black Dress... but then you never know, do you?
If you're a Kylie fan, you'll be delighted to know that we've got a Kylie Minogue Stylefile on OSOYOU.com full of Minogue-esque gorgeous clothes and accessories; and check out our List to transform you into warm and cosy Kylie. Yes, you too can be darling this winter!
We haven't seen much of Liz lately. And usually we see more than we need to.
So when she helped present the Woman of the Future Awards last night, we were actually happy to see that she was still up to her same old tricks. Same Liz, same plunging neckline. We don't know any other woman who loves her boobs as much as Ms. Hurley does. Of course, we appreciate that she's consistent.
But we must say, she looks pretty stunning. The jewelled neckline is gorgeous, though lower than we could go, and the black and white floral print is blooming beautiful. Looks like she's been checking out our Patterned Dresses list! Make sure to check it out and grab the hottest red carpet (or black in Liz's case) trend.
A new item up for auction on eBay takes celebrity memorabilia to a new level. The current owner of the Mercedes Benz SL that Lindsay Lohan famously crashed (which earned her what seems to be a celebrity badge of honour: a DUI charge) has put the damaged car up for auction with a starting bid of $110,000.
Says a lot about our Linds for her to have memorabilia at the age of 21. Wonder what a Lindsay kind of Graceland would be like? A few Mystic Tan booths we reckon.
But we’re hoping she can start to make history in more productive ways now that she’s back from her second stint in rehab. And maybe she’s already started by setting fashion trends. Her gigantic scarves are the inspiration for the Long Scarves trend list. Especially the lovely pink one like we have below. Do you think she deserves a little credit for her ‘Back from Rehab’ fashion statements? Or should she be in style recovery? Chime in on the group: Welcome Back Lindsay Lohan?
For goodness sake Chanelle, a t-shirt and jeans for your 2008 swimsuit calendar launch? True, it was at Zavvi’s in the Bluewater shopping centre, not exactly a red carpet affair. But Victoria Beckham would certainly have amped up the sex appeal for such an occasion. You have been slacking in your Posh worship lately - especially in the wardrobe department.
We get the idea of statement fashion. Your ‘I was not evicted’ tee earlier this week was pretty clear. But we’re a bit perplexed about this one. The rather unflattering beige top reads: Caviar, champagne, chocolate, French fries. Let’s take a guess, things you like to eat and drink? You want us to know that even though you are super fancy, you still love a good order of chips? Is that really it?
Well, at least your hair looks great. The indigo jeans with gold peep-toes are lovely. Your calendar is inspiring us to get to the beach for the holidays and buy some Winter Sun Bikinis off user Melissa's list. Or the one we found below. And okay, it seems that making a statement with your clothes just might be the new black (we have the Statement Fashion List to prove it).
Well this is a bit of a change from yesterday, SJP!
We've got so used to seeing you in fully-styled outfits (and the highest heels Patricia Field can find) on the SATC movie set, this biker boot look is a bit of a style shocker.
Don't get us wrong though, we like!
A charcoal tweedy blazer with a pair of grey jeans doesn't usually result in a particularly knock-out look, but we're not making a movie today!
Besides, it's the accessories that make this outfit. The leopard-print scarf that SJP has masterly knotted is the perfect toughly chic complement to her loosely buckled black biker boots.
Hmm, the perfectly tied scarf... the expert tuck-in of the jeans... looks like our favourite New Yorker has picked up a few tricks living the fashionista-life as Carrie Bradshaw.
You can learn all about how to style yourself like Carrie on SJP's Stylefile. And to get a pair of those fabulous biker boots, head to our Top 10 Biker Boots List. Or you click on the pair below to get a version of SJP's.
A cardigan and a pencil skirt? Looks like Amy is taking a page from the reformed Paris Hilton's book. Ie. Dress for the image you want, not the one you have.
And those demure outfits will come in handy now that she'll be standing by her man, Blake Fielder-Civil in court.
What a difference a few hours makes eh, Amy? Here you are, looking rather lovely and put together (we'll ignore the red push up bra for the moment) - hours later, you were screaming 'Baby, I love you!' to your man while he was being led away by police.
Well, it will surely be a dramatic few weeks to come, but the OSOYOU.com blog team are in your corner, looking forward to seeing what attending court does for your style. We would suggest buttoning that cardi a little higher though...
Doesn't it feel like the last week has been ‘Leona-fied’?
The past fortnight has seen The X Factor winner bouncing around from magazine parties to TV performances to turning on the lights on Oxford Street. And now she's found her way into this blog by appearing at the premiere of Ella Enchanted.
The thing is, Leona has looked absolutely gorgeous at every event she's turned up to and this beautiful white gown is no exception. Didn't she get the memo? Young female pop stars now days are supposed to fail to show up to social events, fall drunkenly out of bars and, if they get the chance, have the odd custody battle or two. Ah well, there's still time to learn, Leona.
Until then, we want a piece of Leona's current fashion fabulousness. Head on over to OSOYOU.com where our Top Ten party dresses lists under £50 and under £100 will have you looking as stylish as the gorgeous singer at whatever budget.
Madonna; clothes of a circus performer, skin of a new born baby!
Whilst out on the town with designer pal Stella McCartney (who appears to have joined the long list of celebrity mummies to be), she failed to impress us in the office with her odd looking satin jumpsuit and lace-up boots combo.
However, even more astounding then her dodgy outfit is the queen of pop's amazing skin! Now there’s a face that’s succeeded in avoiding wrinkles, blemishes and any other unsightly problems us mere mortals usually deal with.
How has she achieved it? Well I’m guessing macrobiotic diets, daily yoga and oooh, a few million in the bank probably help her out a bit. Unfortunately, since I love cake, have a bank balance that’s more Primark than Prada and only exercise if it involves running for the bus, I’ll never have the skin of a baby’s bottom – until now!
The lovely folk at OSOYOU.com have put together a list of some of the best anti-ageing products around, guaranteeing that should you ever bump into Madge (like you do) she’ll be asking you for your beauty secrets!
Gorgeous Nicole! Where do we start with this stunning look?
We've been adoring the recent parade of strapless floorlength gowns on the red carpet lately, but this one knocks them all out of the park.
Nicole Kidman was by husband Keith Urban's side for the American Country Music Awards last night. And who knew country music would warrant such old Hollywood glamour?
Nic wore a purple gown with a black floral print and topped it off with an elegant Forties hairstyle and perfect deep red pout. Looks like we have another celebrity checking out our PurplePassion Stylefile.
Nicole has been at the centre of controversy in the past year with her country singer husband dealing with alcoholism. But it was her statement this week that she hasn't had any plastic surgery that had people talking.
Does it really matter if that ski-jump nose is hers? Let's get back to the point shall we? Her dress is fabulous.
Continuing our world tour with Paris, today's she's in... The Republic of Handbags?
No, no she's still in Tokyo. Ms. Hilton is continuing her appearances for designer Samantha Thavasa with a stop in at the Tokyo boutique. Her sister Nicky, who has designed a range of handbags for the Japanese brand, was by her side as well.
But we almost didn't see you there Paris, with your legs blending into the carpet! Leave it to a socialite heiress to colour co-ordinate her hosiery with the venue, eh?
We do love the tights though. And your silver cap sleeve dress is perfectly chic with an elegant up-do.
Thank goodness you've gone for a full pair of tights and left your suspenders at home. The new Paris looks to be settling into a demure hybrid of reformed-Paris and party-Paris, for the moment.
But, we're not holding our breath. So in the meantime, why not snag a pair of bright tights as featured in our Trend Alert: Bright Tights List?
Or, for all you impatient shoppers, buy these pink beauties right here.
Tall, dark and handsome are attributes we usually look for in men. Unfortunately, in this picture of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, the description seems to apply more to the latter.
Now we know that Katie looked beyond gorgeous – if a little older than her years – at last night’s 23rd Annual Museum of The Moving Image Tribute to her hubby Tom Cruise. However, we can’t help feeling that in the back of her mind she’s thinking, “Damn these inch heightening designer heels, I knew I should have put on my flats!”.
Well not to worry Katie; before you go on your next glitzy night out, take a peek at our list of Top Ten Fabulous Flats. There are no heels there, just a gorgeous collection of pumps that will not only leave your feet looking gorgeous, you’ll also never need look down at Tom again!
Uh-huh, that’s right; just call OSOYOU.com your regular 24hr fashion rescue team - always here to provide style emergency services when you need us!
We're OSO glad to have you back, Linds. Your shopping trips are always great fodder for our style debates!
And, whether or not we are loving the platinum extensions and the orange-enough-to-still-be-ginger tan, it's obvious that your taste in winter accessories can easily be transplanted to California from the chillier grounds of rehab in Utah. And we're clamouring to add to our own wardrobes now.
We've yet to spot Lindsay Lohan without a large scarf hanging down to her knees. It was the subject of our style smackdown earlier this week with fellow scarf lover Famke Janssen. But out in West Hollywood yesterday it was all about bright pink for us. The perfect way to liven up our winter wear. And the colour is much more flattering to Lindsay than boring black and grey.
I reckon it's the best she's looked in a long time. Much better then yesterday's bid to become the next member of ZZ Top...
Linds looks chic in light blue, high-waisted jeans and a checked waistcoat. And we still love an armful of bangles and a good pair of Seventies sunnies.
But maybe it's the scarf that has brought Lindsay back into our good books? We're on our way to try it out ourselves... Don't miss our Long Scarves trend list to snag your own.
For Lindsay's hot Californa casual look grab, your own version here.
...to perform her new song Two Hearts. Almost had you going there didn't I?
Determined to prove she's the hardest working woman in pop, Kylie has not only squashed any rumours that she will be pulling out of her upcoming tour due to health reasons, she's set to perform her latest single on two of the biggest shows of the moment, Strictly Come Dancing and The X Factor.
Of course, if your sister is a judge on one of the shows, it's easy enough to get a few minutes on stage. But I'm more excited by her appearance on Strictly.
Given Kylie likes plenty of sparkle when it comes to her frocks, I'm guessing she'll love all the Strictly Come Dancing costumes - so she'd be smart to head on over to the Strictly Come Dancing - Get the Look! List, created by OSOYOU.com user Aurora.
With plenty of glamorous frocks to choose from, you'll be ready to Samba in minutes.
A little too much sequins and satin for you? Then head on over to our Kylie Minogue Stylefile where you can get some of her casually chic style. See, something for everyone!
For twins who dress alike, I've always wondered how they choose who gets to wear what colour.
Is it based on their personalities? Does one have to be more 'purple' than the other? Is the tomboy of the pair limited to more masculine colours?
Take Samanda here at last night's Enchanted film premiere at the Odeon West End. Both are looking perfectly lovely in matching frocks and shoes. But they've used colour to remind us that the twins are actually Sam and Amanda, two distinctly different girls, two shared loves for pink and Barbie. One in pewter, one in purple.
Okay, so maybe I'm the only one perplexed by twin outfits. But we can all agree that the BB8 stars have been looking wonderfully High Street stylish lately. And it looks like they are getting the hang of this ex-reality TV star thing. Are those bags of swag on your shoulders girls? And from Disney too, how fitting.
Just like Samanda we can't get enough of all those adorable party dresses, so we've got lists galore for you to visit. Are you part of your own Samanda? Get one dress in different colours and hit the town with our Same Dress, Different Colour List.
Her ex Pete Doherty might be returning to rehab, but it hasn't affected Kate Moss' amazing sense of style.
Stepping out in London last night, Kate looked ridiculously 'on trend', with her wide-leg jeans and jacket combo.
Of course, blowing our ickle fashion minds is all part of an average day for Mossy - but has she gone a bit shy of late? After all, why else would she be hiding behind that newly acquired fringe of hers?
Let me tell you, if I looked as casually chic as she did in her tuxedo jacket, stripy top and OMG-I need-them now-high waisted jeans, I’d have that fringe scraped back faster than you could say “Croydon face lift.”
Well, while we all can’t necessarily have Kate’s supermodel lifestyle, fabulous good looks and new rocker boyfriend Jamie Hince (hands up who thinks he’s kind of sexy), OSOYOU.com can help you achieve her look. Just one quick trip over to our Kate Moss Stylefile will give your wardrobe an instant style upgrade.
The question is: will she be packing her best lingerie?
Our favourite ex-Hollyoaks star turned underwear designer Gemma Atkinson is just one of the, um, celebrities that will be starring in the next I'm A Celebrity series.
Even though it seems most of the show's cast are signing on to remind us all that they actually are celebrities, we'll still be watching to see just how much of the Ultimo range Gemma manages to lug across that rope bridge into the jungle.
Here's the rest of the line up:
Ex Five member Jason Brown Changing Rooms host Anna Ryder Richardson
Ex-footballer Rodney Marsh Apprentice star Katie Hopkins
Richard Fairbrass of Right Said Fred (I'm too sexy for this jungle... too sexy for this jungle)
Ex-East Ender Marc Bannerman
Crazy former model Janice Dickinson
Music manager Malcolm McLaren
MC Hammer (Jungle time! Doo do do do, do do, do do...)
We'll be tuning in to find out what's in store for this hodge podge of stars. And of course to see the full display of Gemma's knickers. The jungle is surely the perfect temperature for a lacy basque...
The fabulous Japanese fashion emporium Uniqlo opened its new flagship store on Oxford Street yesterday.
And as well as sending OSOAnna into a veritable whirl of excitement, this news also attracted a number of Bright Young Things to the launch party. Or at least: Fashionable, Rich Young Things.
Yes, the line-up of starlets at the shop's launch included Peaches Geldof, Daisy Lowe - and a host of youngsters called things like 'Poppy Delevigne' and 'Alex Pettyfer'. Fortunately, though, it also included one of our favourite stylish Brits - Alexa Chung.
Doing her usual dressed-down-but-fabulous thing, Alexa sported a cute cream patterned jumper over a white blouse, skinny jeans and large grey bag; and kept things natural with semi-scraped-back hair. The overall look: very Uniqlo. And very unique. See what I did there?
Another day, another teaser for the Sex and the City movie - or at least, what the girls are going to be wearing in it.
Yes, earlier we showed you Samantha's - sorry, Kim Cattrall's - blood-stained fur coat. And now we can bring you Carrie's - sorry, Sarah Jessica Parker's - outfit from the same scene, which was shot yesterday in New York's Bryant Park.
And it consists of: a clearly adorable silver-grey puffball dress hidden underneath an enormous grey fur wrap (let's hope it's not real, otherwise some PETA-style protest might be called for), white leather ankle boots and long, metallic, white gloves. Erm, which is all in a day's work for Patricia Field.
Victoria Beckham has caused a fashion frenzy again - but this time, it's mum’s favourite Marks & Spencer that's getting the VB seal of approval.
After spotting this black leather dress featured in M&S's new Christmas collection, Vic apparently nabbed one for herself straightaway - three weeks before it's due to hit the shops. Even though she got it in the smallest size, Victoria had to ask to have the dress taken in especially for her teeny size 6 frame.
Priced at £149, it's not your typical 'five-pant set' M&S buy - but it's one sure way to bring your autumn/ winter LBD right up to date. And hey - it's wipe clean, right?
Click here to find out which LBDs are the best buys this season!
More Cosmo Awards, more celebrity mums hitting the pink carpet. And appropriately, the mummy in question is pink lover herself, Katie Price!
Last night, Katie had her usual look down to a fine art; an über tan, super sexy heels, flash jewellery and a dress that makes her look as if she's still nine months pregnant. Hold on, on second thoughts, I'm guessing that last bit wasn't a look she was going for...
Come on Katie! We fully approve of the psychedelic print on this sexy thigh-skimming, totally backless frock (with no bra may I hasten to add - how does she hold those puppies up?). But does anyone think they'll be diving into a dress style that adds three dress sizes in three seconds flat?
Ah. More sunglasses. I feel a theme coming on.
Silly sunglasses # 2: Nicky Hilton's fly eyes.
I do believe that Sienna's powder blue sunglasses are from the new Ray-Ban Wayfarer range. I also believe that they look like she's taken them out of a nearby toybox. 
Afternoon!
This cute mauve tank from Miss Selfridge has caught my eye today for a couple of reasons. 
Blimey, Lynne Spears is really getting into her 'tough love' role, isn't she?
It’s every girl’s dream. Your rich boyfriend takes you out shopping in Milan and carries your bags! 
Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are always telling us how they grew up together 'like sisters'. 
Real mums look like hell in the morning. After a night of broken sleep, they slump out of bed, pull on the nearest pair of jeans & comfy boots, wrestle their little darling into something that resembles a school uniform, and head for the school gate. 
It's not something you think about every day. What does one wear to visit one's husband in prison? You don't want to stand out... but would you really want to blend in either?
Check. Out. That. Bag.
You see a man in a pair of shorts and long socks and you can't help but wonder what he might look like on a night out.
One night. Two dresses. That's the life eh?
Who'd have thought X-Men's Wolverine could look, well, quite so damn sexy?
Red seemed to be the theme among the A-Listers at this year’s Oscars. 
Katherine Heigl continued the red theme with a slightly more understated one shoulder dress. She teamed the long gown with some stunning diamond earrings and a cute little silver box clutch, finishing her look with red lipstick that matched her dress perfectly. 
This pair from Warehouse epitomise the pale and soft denim trend that will be all over the high street. 
It could have been the BAFTAs all over again at the 2008 Oscars last night, as Marion Cotillard and Tilda Swinton both scooped awards for their stunning lead and supporting actress roles.
Marion, on the other hand, has definitely raised her game since the BAFTAs. That night, her 
It has to be doesn't it? Go on, count them. There are squillions of the blighters in this little number. 
We know what you’re thinking: ‘Who’s the chick in the animal print?’ It’s none other than Diablo Cody, the writer of my favourite film of the year so far - Juno.
We’re loving Cameron Diaz’s style, it’s so simple yet so chic and not in any way try hard. 
Sienna Miller always smiles for red (or even blue) carpet pics. I like that.
Two thoughts struck me when I saw this picture of Brangelina at the Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica:
What a great outfit.
Fake fur bolero, purple silk poloneck dress, bare legs and heels. Another day, another krazy outfit for Britney. 
Wearing a skintight Lycra minidress when you have a figure like Kimberly Stewart's is: A) Just another example of Kim's obsession with the Eighties, or B) A sign of insecurity.
Remember 
Aha! Now we know where Lindsay Lohan was 
Now, don't get me wrong. Vanessa Minnillo barely registers on my celebrity, let alone fashion, radar. 
Well, that's what I'm guessing, at least.
LA Confidential magazine held a pre-Oscars luncheon honouring Kate Beckinsale yesterday.
According to that esteemed organ the Daily Star, esteemed actress Paris Hilton has been barred from attending this year's Oscars.
I'm erring on the side of "fabulous".
What's going on?
And not only fashion-wise.
Doing it for the sisterhood, Paris and sister Nicky Hilton painted the town ‘black’ at LA’s Chateau Marmont.
They've arrived!
Aah, Hayden Panettiere. She's a little bundle of cuteness, isn't she?
I’m glad the Sugababes managed to redeem their boring dresses with slightly more enticing accessories, or I really would have struggled to say anything nice about their outfits!
Amelle also chose a black dress and opaque tights, but brightened up her look with a stunning pair of midnight blue peep-toes. 
Finally Heidi went even brighter (but still equally as boring) with a plain coral dress over black opaque tights, finishing it off with a rather interesting lace detailed gold and black handbag. 
I understand people who dress to try and fit into certain social situations. But dyeing your hair is taking it to the extreme! 
It's all about one-upmanship with those celeb types innit? 
I'm a huge fan of hats. I think they can lift any outfit out of the everyday (we at OSO Towers aim never to look less than everyweek) - and they hide your hair when you'd rather have 15 minutes more in bed than drag your sorry ass into the shower to wash it.
As you will already know, hoods are trés on-trend. Which is a bit like saying coats are the only thing to be seen in when it's cold. It confuses fashion with necessity if you ask me, but there we go.
Coleen visits the hairdressers a lot. She was only 
Well here's Reese looking most presentable in her bright shoes and (slightly clashing but all the better for that) top.
From the moment they stepped on stage, I just knew the awards ceremony would end in debauchery. And I was exactly right.
It’s Geri Haliwell missing from the National Lottery show all over again. 
It gives me extraordinary pleasure to be writing this post and gazing at this splendid bevvy of beautiful men! 
WOW. That's how to make him jealous, Cheryl.
Squeal! How cute does Lily look in that floral stripy dress?
Here's Nicole promoting The Golden Compass in Tokyo wearing what can only be described as a horrible dress. But weirdly, looking rather gorgeous in it. Go figure.
Jessica Alba does pregnancy chic so well, doesn't she? She wears her bump, rather than the bump wearing her. If you will.
Here's Pink, looking rather splendidly incognito and dignified in her black beanie and black shades, less than 24 hours after the announcement that she's to divorce motocross champ Carey Hart, her husband of two years.
Nooo! The ballet shoes are back!
It's official: not all publicity is bad publicity.
I just don’t know what A listers Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman were thinking here. 
More style news:
Amid a sea of photographers, out step half of the Girls Aloud crew. And it looks like they needed one another’s support while walking through LAX airport holding hands and hiding behind three pairs of huge sunglasses. 
'If floral is the pattern to be seen out in this spring, then Cath Kidston must be the shop of the season. I love this cute dress, which comes in a jersey fabric, warmer than cotton so great for the transition from winter to spring.
Here's Isla Fisher on the set of the movie Confessions of a Shopaholic. 
In that one of them had style, the other didn't. Can you guess which is which?
Blimey, 2007/8 is going to be a banner year for celebrity pregnancies and births. We've had Christina Aguilera, Nicole Ritchie, Jennifer Lopez, Isla Fisher, Myleene Klass and, er, Jamie-Lynn Spears among others. And now Avril Lavigne is apparently pregnito and all. 
That Kimberley Walsh, she's a dark horse. Not content with being the stealth Boyfriend's Favourite in Girls Aloud (go on, do a straw poll of the straight men around you. Bet more fancy Kimberley than fancy Cheryl), she's also fast moving ahead in the style stakes.
OK she wasn't the most famous at The Other Boleyn Girl's London premiere, but she was one of the more stylish.
Look at that waist! 
If this was Prince Harry, I have to confess I'd be making a teeny 'phwoar' sound right now.
Wowee, that is one enormous bag. And, being oversized, brightly coloured and patent, it is bang on trend too. Hurrah!
Well Cruz's Harry Potter hat and scarf are obviously very cute and just right for a New York winter.
I expect the store had to close early after Paris’ visit - she left with most of their stock!
But enough about babies, look at those shoes!
Lindsay Lohan. Pale pink top. Black nails. Tan and white lips. Blah blah.
Compared to her 
Just when you thought the coloured jeans trend was out, a celeb dons them and suddenly it's acceptable to come over all Eighties again.
Oh, stand up straight girl!
Natalie Portman is surely the ultimate MITTAS, no? More Interesting Than The Average Star? C'mon, indulge me. 
Here's Kate, home after a holiday, doing the international Rooting-Around-For-Keys grimace.
If Amy Winehouse is trying to persuade Corrie bosses to take her on she’s certainly got the look right. Well, the top half anyway.
I hope Vanessa was on a short flight - think of the circulation problems she would have had with those jeans!
Apparently this pic was taken as Lily left her ex Ed Simons' house in west London. Oooh, are they back together again then? Etc., etc.
Here's Fearne grabbing some coffees before work. 
While 
Look at poor old Paul McCartney. He's been 'through the mill' a bit, hasn't he, eh? Ha. Ha.
I've always felt sorry for Chelsea Clinton, especially since those cringey photos of her awkward teenage years - all acne, train-track braces and electric shock hair. Boy, did that girl have a struggle! Don't remember her being particularly stylish either, come to think of it. Kind of like an explosion in a garden centre.
I'm not surprised Scarlett looks so darn chuffed in this pic, taken at a photocall for her movie The Other Boleyn Girl at the Berlin Film Festival.
Here at OSO Towers we don't bandy about superlatives like 
How does Lindsay Lohan manage to do it?
She's just won five - count 'em! - Grammy awards. So you'd think Amy Winehouse would be out striding the streets of London, clicking her heels Gene Kelly-style and giving a friendly smile and a wink to everyone she met.
Four words.
...on Melrose Avenue, since you ask.
And as you can see, she's been taking more than marital advice from Victoria Beckham.
No, that's not the name of her new movie. Just the caption for this picture.
Not unlike a big pendant.
Ah, that's more like it!
Cheer up, you two! 
I know the whole "Wow, doesn't Ugly Betty scrub up well!" thing is a little old - but well, doesn't Ugly Betty scrub up well?
No amount of wishes from a Genie in a Bottle is going to make up for the sleepness nights to be had when you have a baby.
You can't blame Jaime Winstone.
Do you know where Jordan wore this outfit? Her own book signing.
Oh, cheer up girls, surely life can’t be that bad!
Here's Coleen coming out of the hairdressers after getting a Valentine's Day 'do. And nice and swishy it is too.
Yesterday all the shows were running up to an hour late. The cause? The Block Party in East London on Wednesday, which was attended by all the fashion royalty meaning a whole host of hangovers and dark glasses on Thursday morning. 
Meanwhile over on 
Last night across the nation, as the single girls of Britain were defiantly sending each other buddy 'Valentine's' text messages and inviting other single friends round for 'girly nights in' - Lily Allen went one further.
Doesn't Jess look all pretty and sunkissed and relaxed at the airport? And yet she's about to get on a plane. Shouldn't be allowed to look that chilled before you've even been away. 
Wow. LiLo looks amazing!
Mmm, nice beard. But that chain of hearts with a wooden cross on the end? We like. A lot. 
Notorious blogger Perez Hilton joined Project Catwalk’s Kelly Osbourne at the launch of the new H&M on Regent Street last night.
You know that situation when you see someone in the street and you love her shoes, so you just have to go over and ask her all about them (yep it’s not just you). Well if the answer’s yes, then TAKE NOTICE! 
Click 
Uh-oh, it’s a case of different celebrity, same dress syndrome!
More style news:
Wednesday morning we managed to catch an extra half an hour sleep in (woot!) as we didn't need to be at the On|Off Presents show until 10am. 
So I'm sitting in the airport lounge getting ready for my flight to Thailand, and busy me couldn’t resist taking once last look at my emails! Lucky I did, as I saw these rather cool preppy trousers from Ben Sherman. 
It's enough to make your ovaries clench. Here's Isla on the set of her movie Confessions of a Shopaholic, looking pleased as punch to be showing off baby Olive.
Wit-woo! Now there's a dress to please the hetero men-folk. Not a hint of high fash, just a good old fashioned slinky-slink siren dress. Perfect for the occasion.
This, ladies, is how to get into a car without flashing your foof. Deportment tips from Rocky: who'd have thought?
Ah, I love frock pockets (frockets?). So practical, so handy (handy!), so simple yet effective in their ability to lift a dress out of the mundane. 
OK USA! After your massive response to our Zac Efron post yesterday, we thought we'd show you what stylish guys look this side of the pond.
Here's Amy shopping in Carnaby Street, mixing her usual bits from the Fifties, bits from the Eighties, plus a bit of Noughties to keep it real. And, as ever, ending up with a look that's totally her own.
Bless Daniel Day Lewis.
Meanwhile over on 
Funny, isn't it? Normally, I'd be pretty unimpressed with this side-zip jeans, too-high heels, see-through top, no-bra combo.
Another day, another awards ceremony in Celebville. 
Second came Kiera Knightley, who of course pulled her favourite pouty face for the cameras. She finally won an award for her acting in Atonement, winning Best Actress. 
Finally, along came Kate Hudson, wearing a potentially awful white maxi dress with a key hole cut out of the chest. But I have to say, she pulled it off (not literally) and looked amazing. 
She really is as cute as a button, isn't she? If people lose their cute quotient as they grow up, Rachel Bilson must have been off the radar as a baby. 
Aha! The Elle Style Awards: If you whizz down this blog post at speed, you will discover it's like moving from one end of the fashion spectrum to the other. 
... then move on to Lily Allen who is a vision of 'fragrancy' in a pretty, on trend 40s style dress dress - and 'updo' - presumably courtesy of the stylist from Desperate Housewives... 
...and then at the other end of fashion spectrum, we have Alexa Chung, who clearly is living out her childhood fantasies in public with a Barbie Island Princess concoction. My three year old daughter will be very 'x'cited'!
The front row at New York Fashion Week provided us with 
Most people put their Grammys on the mantelpiece. But Amy Winehouse was looking so 'swell' yesterday, I wonder if it would be out of turn to suggest she’s found somewhere else to hide them?
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? 
Woah, she looks really uncomfortable. Obviously at that stage of pregnancy where you never feel anything but bloody knackered, I reckon Kerry's done pretty well not to have just stayed in her PJs. 
When a celeb wears something more than once you know it’s either a must-have, or the stylist’s resigned.
Bit of a quandary going on at OSO Towers.
When you go into court, to do something vaguely significant, like argue for a £20million divorce settlement, from an International Pop Legend, you would get the best advice.
It's only day two of London Fashion Week and I'm already exhausted - how does Hilary Alexandar (fashion ed for the Daily Telegraph) do this? 
Along the way, I spotted these gorgeous shoes wandering about the shows, and just had to take a pic! Of course, then I searched for a pair for myself on OSOYOU.com - and found these gorgeous Office look-a-likes! Click 
OK, so she's playing golf: a fashion black hole at the best of times. 
There'll be a fair few trends to come out of London Fashion Week this year, but Pixie and Peaches kickstarted it early when they turned up to the PPQ show together yesterday.
I reckon the Geldof sisters are definitely onto something though. After all, who better than your sister to gossip with in the front row about the new PPQ collection or the unusual next season trends? Or, more to the point, the model that nearly tripped over? 
Which Kate will get your vote at the Celebrity Mum of the Year awards?
Seven years ago they were battling for a place in the now defunct pop band Hear’Say - now they’re competing for La Redoute’s Celebrity Mum of the Year.
Say what you like about the Spice Girls - when it comes to motherhood, they manage the work/ kids balance on a worldwide scale.
High School Musical's Zac Efron - aka Best Looking Bloke Under 25 On The Planet* - doesn't mess around when he travels.
Here's Penelope Cruz at the premiere of Elegy, wearing a rather splendid gown of the flamenco / toilet roll cover variety.
Lordy, that blouse is cute! Cropped pants? The perfect shape and length. And those blood-red patent courts are nowt short of delicious. 
Cor, Lily Allen has gone all on-trend for her trip to Bond Street, with her floaty dress, sheer tights and amazing death-defying platforms. 
Do you think Gwen might want to be my friend? I only ask because it would, y'know, make my life complete.
As red carpet outfits go we’ve seen worse, but Destiny’s Child singer Beyonce Knowles failed to shine in this full-length blue embellished thing, and we have to wonder whether her stylist was having a joke.
For all her faults Rehab singer Amy Winehouse can’t be accused of not being down to earth.
Marks and Spencer have a great range of swim and beachwear available and it’s only February. I especially love this Bandeau print bikini which has great attention to detail; back tie feature and subtle beading. Its flattering design is also a winner for me with ample coverage on the derrière! 
We had a rude awakening on Sunday morning, as we arrived at the BFC tents at 9am in time for Paul Costelloe's 9.30 show which was tweeds aplenty. The fash pack was already drinking champers and we spotted our first person in full evening wear! Telegraph editor Hilary Alexander sat in the front row scribbling away, but we later spotted her mouthing the words 'disappointing' to a photographer. 
And we did a bit of street style spotting of our own. We found a beautiful young lady with gorgeous accessories.
Eech, the things that dress is doing to Keira's boobs! She must have had some serious red markage when she got into her PJs after last night's BAFTA awards.
I LIKE Kylie Minogue in this. 
Proof that colouring your hair dark, doesn't give a girl instant class:
Rihanna never fails to surprise and ooh let's say delight with her idiosyncratic fashion ooh let's call them moments.
That dress must be a nightmare to get into. All ties and bits that need to be fed through other bits. Good job people like Sienna have stylists to do that kind of thing. 
Literally? Well, now you can.
Lily Allen was out with the likes of Hugh Grant, Jemima Khan and Thandie Newton on Friday night - well, who wasn't? - at the Vogue pre-BAFTAs party in Mayfair.
As in: she's dyed her hair. Although, knowing Lindsay Lohan, it could have meant something else entirely.
So, New York Fashion Week has come to a close (thanks for the insider coverage, MapleStyle!). And of course it couldn't come to a close without our very own Ambassador Of Style putting in a final appearance. 
Hundreds of mourners - including Michelle Williams (on the far right here) and Heath Ledger's family and friends - paid tribute to the young actor at a memorial service in Australia yesterday.
Just like a modern-day Mary Poppins.
Most celebrities and fashionistas don the universal uniform of black, black and more black when attending New York Fashion Week shows.
If you're looking for the perfect winter-to-spring style, then look no further than Jennifer Aniston here.
Well, we've all been there, haven't we? Stuck with our giant beehive in a black cab. I know I have.
It's because she likes to wear outfits like this.
Well, that’s all folks! And in grand cliché style, the fat lady has sung. Well, actually for New York Fashion Week it was Kim Gordon, of grunge band Sonic Youth, doing the singing.
As sick as I am of that bleedin' Bleeding Love song, I've got to hand it to Leona - she certainly scrubs up well, doesn't she?
These boots are great for taking you from autumn/winter and into spring, no wonder they're tipped to be a best seller. This style is timeless and really wearable. A great piece that you can wear season after season. To calim a pair of your own just click 
WOW! Who would have thought Big Brother’s first set of twins would transform from a couple of Claire’s Accessories disciples to mini-teen fashionistas?
Sunglasses in the winter, it must be a celebrity. Oh, no - it’s Denise van Outen.
Pay attention, people! You are looking at a decisive moment in Eva Longoria's style wardrobe.
Join the fashion royalty at the 11th annual ELLE Style Awards in association with H&M this Tuesday February 12th!
The Hollywood writers' strike may have scuppered the Grammys - but thank the Lord, the 2008 Hasty Pudding Theatricals Woman of the Year Parade is still going strong!
Check out our favourite (well, our only) female Black Eyed Peas member at New York Fashion Week.
It’s not that often that I feel compelled to talk about someone’s perfect make-up. But I feel that Alesha Dixon deserves a special mention for her efforts here.
However well you plan, something can always go wrong. And that's exactly what happened at two designer shows today when - shock, horror! - two models slipped and fell on the runway.
I was beginning to wonder. I mean it's well into February - and we still hadn't seen Kate out in public with her oldest and best friend.
Witness the next big 'stylish' star in distress moment of the week: Britney Spears checking back out of hospital. 
OK, so it’s not quite Angelina Jolie at a UN conference, but this is serious; for Paris Hilton at least.
Madonna threw a charity party with Gucci at New York Fashion Week last night, and all the A list attendees got into the giving spirit with gusto. Just look at the cute li'l friends they brought along!
But what's with the rest of you, Katie, Jennifer and Gwyneth? This is a clear case of fashion before friends/ lovers/ whatever weird relationship TomKat have going on.
And Gwyneth? Well, the jury's out on this one for me - I'm none too sure about that dress/ heels combo. If you ask me, her wee friend is working the red carpet better.
I'm proud of the celebrities at Fashion Week today. They really proved that when it comes to fashion, they know how to separate business from spectacle, and drew attention to the causes that really matter.
Mere hours after being 
My boyfriend saw this pic of Myleene at BAFTA ahead of this Sunday's awards (where she'll be doing red carpet interviews) and said, 'Looks silly. Like a mummy crossed with a mermaid'.
Y'know - when I look at this picture of Amy Winehouse leaving rehab, to visit her husband Blake Fielder in prison, all I want to do is cross my fingers.
Obviously Rachel Bilson thinks that just over a year is long enough for us to come to terms with her split from Adam Brody (*sigh* such a cute couple), as here she is cavorting - cavorting I tell you! - with new beau Hayden Christensen on the set of their movie Jumpers in Rome.
First thing to mention is that Rihanna is seen here promoting Totes umbrellas. Because she sang a song about an umbrella, you see? Chuh, what those advertising types can do.
Eek! 
Poor Lindsay, eh? Once the Toast of Tinseltown, she's now reduced to shopping at designer stores and dining out to merit a decent pap following.
OK, so I know we told you bright colours were in - great red dress, Paris - but we didn’t mean skin too, silly!
'I’ve fallen in love with this cute knit from Karen Millen. Highlighting the preppy and spots trend in a subtle way, I can’t wait to team this with a pair of flared long leg jeans and peep-toe platforms. Great casual workwear!'
Yeah baby - Brittany Murphy has it all going on at the New York Fashion shows. The stunning shift dress, tasteful pearl set and immaculate make up. Just. Don't. Look. Left.
Y'know what it's like in the morning. You get up and think: 'Now what do I have to do today? What should I wear?' 
Yep, as Christina prepared to cast her vote on 'Super Tuesday' at the US primary elections, she didn't let a little thing like looking respectable get in the way of executing her citizen responsibilities. 
Moments after this photo was taken Kylie started galloping in circles, flapping her cape and bellowing 'Ninna ninna ninna ninna, ninna ninna ninna ninna Batmaaaan!'
Listen very carefully, I shall say zis only once.
There were eight - eight! - pages of these pics. 
101 Things To Do With A Plaid Picnic Blanket. Number one: eat your picnic off it. Number two: wear it to New York Fashion Week.
What would Fashion Week be without a healthy dose of drama? Well, the answer really is ‘not Fashion Week’. So I thought I'ld fill you in on a bit of scoop surrounding the shows yesterday and the night before. 
I love these front-row-at-fash-show pictures. You can't watch a catwalk and pose for photos, so you get brilliant off-guard moments.
It's a special day today for two reasons.
What has the world come to when England's second most famous WAG has to cart her own luggage around?
Another night, yet another opportunity for Paris Hilton to promote her latest 'acting' job in new film, The Hottie and The Nottie. 
A little over-dressed, Heidi...? 
I have to admit I was a little disappointed with the celebrity turn out over the weekend here at Fashion Week. 
Here's Renee in Winnipeg, on the set of her movie Chilled in Miami, wearing (scoff scoff) Mukluks.
How many of us could get away with wearing a flat cap, enormo parka and baggy track pants without looking just a weeny bit like we've just been released into the community? 
I have a confession to make. I feel I can trust you not to laugh in my face.
If ever, like our Amy, you're in the position of having to take a trip out of rehab in order to visit the US Embassy to discuss getting a visa so you can sing at the Grammy awards - all in front of a million paps - then this is probably the way to do it, wouldn't you say?
Sorry, were you expecting more?
Now, call me picky (no really, I can take it), but I'm not really feeling Katherine Heigl's red carpet outfit here.
I can almost allow Nicky to get away with wearing last season’s clothes to New York Fashion Week - simply because she looks so darn good in them.
Are you thinking the same as me? 
Here's Anna Friel on her way to Natalie Imbruglia's birthday party (who knew they were mates?!), having just 'dined' (so said the picture caption) at The Ivy.
When 
See what you can achieve if you get rid of all that hippie nonsense and brush your hair (© a Mum, yesterday)?
Here at OSO Towers, we like to show you the whole outfit, from top to toe. But I think in this case we can make an exception. There's more than enough to work with.
Although I think she should seriously consider giving that skirt away.
I love Kate Nash (pictured here arriving in Australia for Big Day Out), so I don't want to diss her.
...*in* Minnie Mouse: Revenge Of The Shoes.
Good job I alerted you, there. Otherwise you would have completely missed her.
And doesn't she look nice?
You know the difference between us and celebrities? They go to the gym a lot more. 
And stop slouching!
Sorry - that should be: Eva Longoria Parker arrives at David Letterman Show, looks pleased with herself. Because that's how Dave himself addressed her, and it's how her name appears on the posters for her new movie Over Her Dead Body - so I guess that must be her new name. Honestly, it's all go in the world of celebrities, isn't it?
While Paris Hilton was over in Arizona getting a red carpet laid out for her because she a) turned another year older and b) once made a home video, George Clooney was getting the red carpet treatment in New York for rather more worthwhile purposes.
Here's Paris Hilton arriving on the red carpet at 944 Super Village (whatever that is. Probably not a village, though) in Arizona on Thursday night. For her birthday celebrations. That's right - she had a red carpet laid out because it was her birthday.
And you thought you were good at multi-tasking.
Doesn’t Camilla Alves look stunning in this gorgeous sheer black dress? I think so. 
OK Paris, we get it - you're the fit one.
We know what you’re thinking – how does she keep those tresses looking so blonde, silky and shiny?
Whew. Now there's a dress. 
Oh my, where to start? 
Well, there are obviously a few things to mention here:
Jessica Alba's got it all, really, hasn't she?
D'you reckon Abby’s whispering to Peter (just out of shot) that she’s gone and got her heel stuck it the drain and can’t move? 
What does the 'sn' in snood stand for? The 'ood' is presumably hood. Snuggly? Snow?
Lordy mama, that is one hideous outfit. 
'Dey is soo cute!'
Someone once asked plaintively, and not a little naffly, 'Where have all the cowboys gone?'. And here, ladies and gentlemen, is their answer. 
Congrats are in order. Not only has Gwen announced that she's 13 weeks pregnant with a sib for one-year-old Kingston, but she's managed to wangle it so her first post-announcement pic shows her looking aMAZing.
Are you fed up with all that black and over the chunky knit trend? Either way, what you need is fresh spring boost, a colour injection to your dull, lifeless wardrobe. Well look no further, 
I have a leetle theory. It may not be supported by science, but I'm pretty confident it's a good'un. Here it is:
The secret to looking like you're shunning the pap spotlight when you're famous and, for example, just off the plane at LAX, is to choose clothes that normal people might wear for a flight.
Here's Myleene Klass on the new M&S ad shoot looking like she's genuinely having a laugh, rather than just yaying it up for the cameras. 
I really like this pic. Mischa looks sort of delicious, don't you think? Beautiful and happy and... well, womanly. Yes, womanly! 
Wow. That is quite a dress. 
Gosh, that's a voluminous dress Angelina. What are you hiding? Ooh, lemme think... could it be perchance a few months' worth of gestating foetus? (Or two foetuses, if the gossip sites are to be believed.)
Blimey, you know you're famous when someone sees fit to photograph you taking in the trash. And, like, when we see fit to mention it. 
Obviously it's entirely up to Kate whether she wears head-to-toe perfection or pulls on the first thing she grabs from the pile on her bedroom floor. 
Yes, perfect. 
Isn't this a brilliant photo? Amy's having a bit of an amble in Regents Park, absently patting her beehive and working that Formula One neckerchief, granny bag and black pencil mini. 
Ladies, Spring is on it’s way, so it’s time for a style update. 
Well actually she doesn't heave a thigh at all, does she? As thighs go I expect Eva's aren't that far up the list of those requiring the highest weight/effort ratio (is there such a list? Gawd help us all if there is).
Tsk. Here's Kate Moss mixing her black fabrics too. Don't these people know black-on-black is like, so last season?
If one's outward appearance is any indication of one's inward state of mind, then it looks like troubled Amy Winehouse may have turned a corner.
It was with great sadness that the OSOYOU team heard of Heath Ledger's untimely death in New York yesterday.
Talk about doing the perfect designer/high street crossover! 
What is it about Amy Winehouse that inspires my maternal side? I see a shot like this and all I can think is: "For goodness sake, Amy girl, put some clothes on! You'll catch your death!"
Hello and welcome to the first edition of 'Day-Into-Night Style' with Lindsay Lohan.
OK, so it's officially The Hot New Celebrity Trend.
Is it just me, or does Pamela Anderson look like a Thunderbirds puppet in this picture? Is she perhaps related to its creator, Gerry?
If you're Australian and were in Los Angeles on Saturday night, there was only one place to be. No, not Wallaby's Australian Pub & Grub. The Australia.com Black Tie Gala.
And if you want evidence, just look at this picture of her yesterday - and compare and contrast it with 
Fortunately not everyone is at the Sundance Film Festival - and life is continuing as normal in LA.
Mary-Kate Olsen isn't the only one gracing the Sundance Film Festival with her presence - here are Cash Warren and Jessica Alba arriving in Utah for the celeb-fest, too.
While her stylist Rachel Zoe 
Now, here's the difference between us and our American cousins.
Ooh, are blue plastic bags the Next Big Thing? 
And the award for Best Celebrity Style Transformation goes to...
Ladies and gentlemen: one word. Yowzers!
You look lovely!
You look lovely!
Accustomed as we are to writing about Kate Middleton, I do believe we've yet to post about Chelsy Davy on this blog. (And when I say "we", I mean "the girls at OSOYOU", not myself in the third person, royal "we".)
Here's Becks, shopping in Gap.
Poor Leslie Ash. She used to be most stylish woman on UKTV, getting to banter with Neil Morrissey and have rib-cracking sex with her husband.
Here Kate is suffering from something with which I'm sure we can all identify. Namely, looking damn fine... until we put our coat on.
She's been muted of tone all winter, has Li-Lo, what with all those greys and blacks with ne'er even a hint of krazy taupe to lighten the mood.
Wow. Britney really loves those torn fishnets. That's 
Then she let her hair down and changed outfit, into something entirely more stained. And kept on the tights.
OK, so Katie looks more like a 49-year-old trying to look 29 than an actual 29-year-old. 
I'm sorry, is that Ashlee Simpson as in Jessica Simpson's younger sister?
One of those body language experts would have a field day with this pic, what with Britney all little-girl-submissive and Adnan all menacing-big-man-protector. 
I've been pondering the reason for the pained expression on Amy's face here. I mean, there are obviously quite a few life issues to choose from, but I think this particular grimace is caused by the ol' Fitting Room Frustration. 
Lily Allen said recently that Kate Moss isn't a role model, she's a clothes horse. But what a clothes horse, eh? The Shergar of the fash-pack.
Now, there are only two reasons to wear a wig:
Just call me the Mystic Meg of fashion. Did I, or did I not, predict yesterday that 
The filming of Jennifer Aniston's new movie in Vancouver continues - and as you can see, her on-set style on day two isn't awfully different from 
*Shakes head and sighs*.
Quick, Nicole! Get out of the sunshine!
Has Jessica Simpson stolen Jennifer Aniston’s Traveling style?
Wanting to find the perfect winter-into-spring outfit? Why, look no further than the lovely Lindsay Lohan here!
Kate Moss arrived back from the Far East yesterday - and no sooner had she landed on English soil, then she was off out partying. In the daytime. Imagine! I can only put it down her body not yet adjusting to the time difference.
OK, Katie Holmes: now you're starting to scare me.
It was quite a day for Britney Spears yesterday.
A girl can never have enough jeans, right? 
What are the Spice Girls wearing? More to the point, what is Mel B wearing?!
It might be all 'yellow this, yellow that' in the fashion world at the mo, but Katie Holmes knows what's best for her - and it turns out that's last season's colour.
You do know puppies aren't just for Christmas, don't you Coleen?
Yes, here's another shot of Britney Spears and her paparazzo boyfriend Adnan Ghalib (he's from Birmingham, you know) 
It's every 'struggling-to-make-it-in-Hollywood' British gal's worst nightmare.
Yes, that's flapper.
Never one to push the fashion boundaries, Jennifer Aniston has embraced one major new spring/ summer trend with this multi-layered outfit.
I'm not too sure what's most shocking about these pictures. 
Typical. You wait ages for one celebrity baby - and then two come along at once.
It appears that Lindsay Lohan has done one thing right, and one thing wrong. 
Yikes! When did this happen?! Were we just not paying enough attention (surely not?)? Or is it just that we hadn't seen enough pictures of them actually, erm, standing next to each other?
Alesha Dixon was looking adorable - if a little tired and emotional - last night. Well, so would I, if I was standing outside Movida nightclub in the wee small hours of the morning.
And finally: Pamela Anderson. Oops, sorry - I mean: Nicollette Sheridan. 
Lindsay Lohan was looking terribly mean and moody yesterday. Ooh, I'm scared!!
Pity poor Nicky Hilton. (No, really. Bear with me). There you are, all dressed up for a night out with your sister - and then her picture appears everywhere a whole day before anyone notices yours. Aww.
Thought that 
Unless you've been spending the past week under a rock - and given the weather and the post-Christmas comedown, I wouldn't blame you - you'll know that 
Dear me, it's all getting a bit too much today. 
Congratulations to one of our favourite clothes horses, Nicole Richie, and her rocker boyfriend Joel Madden. Because the couple are now the proud parents of a bouncing baby girl.
Now, according to which report you read, Britney Spears either "took a vacation with" (People) or "went on the run with" (Daily Mail) her new British boyfriend, paparazzo Adnan Ghalib. 
That's the rumour sweeping through Celebville!
Remember the braids and belly tops? Or the bling and ridiculously tight jeans? 
Jen confesses to Cosmo:
All hail Anna Friel! Her career may have peaked with that lesbian kiss in Brookside, but I have to admit, the girl knows how to work the red carpet.
Penelope Cruz and boyfriend Javier Bardem are busy enjoying a romantic beach getaway in Brazil this week. And as they played in the surf, lucky Javier couldn't keep his hands off gorgeous Pen. Bless!
French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his new girlfriend, former supermodel Carla Bruni, seem very much in love as they walk hand in hand whilst holidaying in Egypt.
Ahhh, Johnny Depp. He really does have it all: talent, floppy hair, and perfect bone structure. 
It's a busy week to be Martine McCutcheon. 
Can you tell the difference between them? 
Parents-to-be Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban dressed appropriately to watch the Kings of Leon play in Sydney last night.
Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley continued their home-decorating mission on Wednesday with a trip to Walnut, a boutique wallpaper shop in LA. 
AS you can see, it has the number 23 on it. Could it symbolise the date Kath and Josh got married (December 23rd)?
OK seriously now. What’s happening with Kim Cattrall’s Sex and the City wardrobe? 
Whilst 
Although she's trying to hide it underneath a big yellow headscarf, it's plain to see that Amy Winehouse has ditched her trademark jet black locks in favour of sunshine blonde. 
Wow, Katie Holmes really scrubs up well, doesn’t she? 
Paris Hilton went ghetto casual for her flight from LA yesterday, sporting not one, but two hoodies.
Hayden Panettiere stepped out yesterday wearing something very different to the glamourous outfits we're used to seeing her sport. 
There were so many celebs at the opening of the Cirque du Soleil at the Royal Albert Hall, that it was difficult to know where to look first. 
Lucy Liu appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman last night, and mighty dressed up for the occassion she was too!
It seems to me that Lindsay Lohan's days revolve around just two things: shopping and partying (oh, and apparently she occassionally makes films, or something).
Poor Kim Cattrall, she definitely seems to have drawn the short straw when it comes to the Sex and the City costume wardrobe.
That's it Zac: smile through the pain!
I'm guessing Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen’s New Year's resolution was to be more charitable in '08.
Just in time, too. Because if you've been having a New Year wardrobe clearout, you'll be glad to know that once you’ve got rid of your old jeans, you can pick up a new pair for free at 
This gorgeous pair of True Religion jeans are up for grabs today!
Is that a grey tinge in your goatee Brad, or is it just the way the light is shining?
But they didn’t get too far!
As if you needed more proof that motherhood is the biggest celeb trend out there right now, Nicole Kidman has finally confirmed rumours that she's pregnant.
Thought that the world created by Gap adverts didn't really exist? Think again! Because it does in Hollywood.
When I first looked at this latest picture of Lindsay Lohan, I thought to myself: my, what enormous turn-ups on those jeans!
Forget burn the bra - is Katherine Heigl on a mission to deface the wedding dress?
Namely: not just with Chanel handbags and wide belts. But with flowers, too.
That is: if you and I liked dressing in the dark; and our boyfriends liked dressing like catalogue men.
Yes, I realise you may have to take my word for it: but that really is Lily Allen.
A girl can never have enough jeans, right? 
As reported yesterday, 
This one Sex and the City movie style I really hope doesn't end up on the high street.
That Katherine Heigl - she just doesn't stop, does she?
Along with Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens (see below), Halle Berry was also at the Palm Springs Film Festival at the weekend.
After seeing everyone from Posh to Tara Reid to Lindsay Lohan work the ‘airport look’, we finally have a winner. Or rather, two. 
Yep, no more strutting about on the catwalk for her!
Which is the right one, presumably.
We've all done it. Come back from holiday still wearing our hot-weather clothes. But only Amy Winehouse could do it looking quite like this. Bless her.
Posh and Becks were out having a meal in St Alban's - that's the fancy restaurant, not the town - on Saturday night. And as usual, they caused quite a stir. Not only by their mere presence - which is cause for paparazzi mayhem any day of the week, of course - but by what they were wearing.
Looking like the Olsen twins' big sister - namely, all centre-parting and smoky eyes - Carmen Electra took to the red carpet in Las Vegas on Friday night.
I know that Big Brother 8 may seem like a dim and distant memory - but Samantha and Amanda Marchant's 15 minutes of fame isn't up yet, folks. No siree!
What's black and white and red all over? Answer: Gwen Stefani, usually.
Back, I tell you! 
Is it just me, or does Bar Rafaeli look like one of those models at a car motorshow? Surely Leonardo Di Caprio's girlfriend is above modelling jobs which involve leaning on a bonnet at the NEC in Birmingham?
Which isn't much of a surprise, because I was a little confused, too.
Looks like our American cousins are into wearing their tracksuits, too.
Good news for those of us living in the capital: they've started shooting the new James Bond movie. As you can see from this snap of the not-too-shabby Daniel Craig, on location in central London yesterday.
Yes, it's silly season, folks.
Here's the lovely Tara Reid snapped at Perth airport yesterday. At least, I think it's Tara Reid. It could be a teenage boy on his paper round.
Nice to see Christina Aguilera covered up this week. And I say that not because I believe pregnant women should go around in sacks, but because, being in the States at the moment, I have been subjected to her, erm, "amazing" photo shoot for the American edition of Marie Claire magazine.
Talk about keen. Katherine Heigl's only just got married, and already she's out buying paint. Slow down, lady! You don't want to give your new husband the idea that, y'know, you're keen on doing DIY and stuff. Honestly!
Watch out - she's behiiiiind you!
Didn't I say watch out for the beauty queen? She must have been frozen in this revealing dress - don't you have a nice cardi, Jade? 
This is what it’s all about! It wouldn’t be Big Brother without a bit of spangle. Classical musician Calista has done me proud.
Another one I told you lot to watch out for was fashion designer Jay - and he certainly didn’t let us down. 
Not her music - her style! 
Certainly not jeans and comfy trainers!
Oh dear, it seems the Spice Girls’ ankles are cursed!
Now, that's more like it!
Yup - think we can safely say that Nicole Kidman is not sporting a baby bump. 
No, not those shops. The grocery store!
Check it out: this is Scarlett Johansson's 'fashionable but serious' outfit.
If you thought Celebrity Big Brother died a horrible death last year with 'Jadegate', think again.
The usual suspects were out in force for Sienna Miller's birthday celebrations at The Clifton pub in North London. Rhys Ifans (natch), Keira Knightley, Davinia Taylor (on the left here), and, yes, celebrity-watchers: Kate Moss. Looks like that hatchet has been well and truly buried, then, doesn't it? For now, at least. You know how these celebs are.
Sorry, think I'm still in 'Christmas cracker' mode in the jokes department.
Sienna Miller celebrated her birthday this week. At least, I think it was this week. It could have been in the '60s, judging by Sienna's outfit.
Or erm, maybe a boy?
...where, according to the rather prudish Daily Mail, she's "kissed three men in 24 hours". Imagine!
If anyone needed to start off the New Year with a few much-needed style resolutions.
Congratulations to Kelly Brook for being the subject of our First (Non) Gratuitous Bikini Shot Of The Year.
The answer to 'What the stars did on New Year's Eve' here clearly being: 'letting their dress fall off them'. 
Look, it's Las Vegas Barbie's sister!
Look, it's Las Vegas Barbie!
Yes, I realise it might be a slow news day, but hey. Some things have happened. A whole new year as begun, for one. And to celebrate such an event (probably), Coleen McLoughlin has gone and got herself a new haircut. 
...a burgundy velvet suit.
...a long black coat.
...In which we dissect the latest fashion choices of Britain's Favourite Couple (Possibly. To Their Parents), Sienna Miller and Rhys Ifans.
Super-über-model Gisele Bündchen is in New York right now. Which is quite a coincidence, because so am I. Fancy!
Alesha, Alesha, Alesha: it's one thing to take on the ballroom dancing world. It's quite another to take on its fashion sense.
...Thankfully for her services to music, not fashion. It seems that the Queen, too, watched the final of The X Factor (see left).
Yes, if you were wondering what the Olsen twins will look like when they're all grown-up, then look no further than The Fergie-licious One here.
A very tiny bump, admittedly - but a bump all the same.
Yes, as if the sight of 
If, like me, you're looking at this picture while trapped inside a small family home in the cold and grey West Midlands, after eating too much yule log, I can only apologise. I realise the last thing any of us need to see right now is two pencil-slim women on a beach in Maui.
Alternative title: 'How the stars are spending Christmas, No.4: Jennifer Aniston' (see posts passim).
I used to think that one surefire way of looking younger was to have a fringe cut. Since seeing this latest picture of Halle Berry, however, I'm thinking that there are more drastic steps one can take. 
As you can see, Simon Cowell is spending his Christmas:
Or to be precise: Paris Hilton et famille.
And a very merry Becksmas to you, too.
...In which Victoria Beckham attempts to recreate two famous movie moments in one. 
...In which Geri Halliwell and Victoria Beckham compete for the teeniest tiniest body in the Spice Girls.
Lindsay Lohan proved that Americans do get panto by stepping out in Santa Monica at the weekend dressed as a Principal Boy. In fact, I think she had just slapped her thigh before this picture was taken.
Yes, I know what you were thinking. But no, it's not Nancy Dell'Olio in welder's goggles (surely every man's dream scenario). It is in fact our very own Katie Price, arriving at Heathrow airport on Saturday.

It was the Strictly Come Dancing live final last night, and the results are in: Alesha Dixon is the winner!

Was Davinia Taylor's Christmas party a sleepover?
Hellooooo.....................
Jennifer Aniston was a busy little bee this Tuesday, buzzing around Los Angeles spreading Christmas cheer as she went. 
It's hardly surprising that the week before Christmas, the Posh One is doing what she does best: shopping!
Wow, we were all rather stunned when Jamie Lynn Spears revealed she was pregnant with her boyfriend Casey Aldridge's baby on the cover of US OK! mag yesterday.
I love the cute borrowers size top hat she's wearing; black, feather and ribbons, very on trend Ashlee.
And blonde and tousled here! Plus, Ash is bang on trend with those red Doc Martens and a black and white striped top too. Click 
Next comes this gorgeous shot of her face with yet another different look. I love her eye make-up. In fact, I've tried and tried again to get this look and every time it results in eye liner in the eye, make-up streaming down the face and having to wipe it off and starting again. :-(
And finally, I can’t finish without a mention of these stunning gold shoes. There's only one word (OK, three words) that spring to mind – I want those!
Yep, that's right, Britney Spears’ 16-year-old sister, Jamie Lynn, is 12 weeks pregnant!!!
I may have 
Cat Deeley doesn’t look like she needs anything from ol' Saint Nick this year. Check out the bubbly presenter strutting her stuff through the streets of London, looking OSO super stylish.
Forget bubble hems and biker boots - seems like the biggest trend to hit Celebville this year is baby bumps!
It's been months in the making - and Coleen McLoughlin's still nowhere near finishing plans for her marriage to Wayne Rooney next June.
I think I've seen those heels before, Fearne Cotton!
Oh come on, don't tell me you believed that!
Yes, the rumours are true: Katie Holmes has been snapped shopping in Los Angeles taking an early morning shopping trip with - wait for it - no make-up on!
Birthdays, eh? Time to take stock on the past 12 months, work out what you've learnt and what you'll do differently this year.
Grey matters? It seem Lindsay Lohan thinks so.
If ever a dress said 'Christmas' and 'party' (it only happens while you're asleep), it would be Kate Walsh's sparkly LBD.
Off with the over-the-knee boots, back with the tuxedo jacket!
It was pretty obvious choice, right?
Well, on set that is! 
It's no way to win Kate back - but rumour has it that Pete Doherty will spill the beans on his relationship with the Moss-ter for a tell-all documentary.
What a relief!
The Spice Girls kicked off the first of their 17 (count 'em!) London dates at the 02 Arena last night. And as you can see, it's true what they say: all that glitters is not gold. Sometimes it can be silver, white, and sequin-y too.
Or should that be: 'worse'?
Mischa, Mischa, Mischa! 
Or at least they were when this picture was taken.
One word: Blimey.
Crikey! It's December: surely someone needs to tell that girl to buy a coat. Or at the very least a cardigan!
News Flash #1: Kate Moss joined pal Sadie Frost at Julie's in Notting Hill yesterday afternoon to do some Christmas shopping. The pair emerged from the store with bags full of gifts, so at least that's two guarenteed houses full of happy children on the morning of the 25th.
Oh, here she is! Shy and retiring Alicia Duval joined a posse of friends and dressed as 'Santa Barbie', complete with gift box. I'm not sure the pink box does very much for her figure, but I suppose at least it covers her up a bit. And you have to give her points for an original outfit: she definitely stands out from the crowd!
Eva Longoria looked amazing as she went to cheer on husband Tony Parker in the Lakers-Spurs (that's basketball y' know) game in LA last night. This wouldn't normally be headline news: Eva always manages to look stunning, and it's nice to show an interest in your husband's job.
Those Spice Girls, always lending a helping hand. Well, I suppose this could have something to do with Richard Branson naming a plane after them...
Lucky it wasn't style awards, eh Hayden?
No joke! She actually looks fantastic.
For all the sceptics out there who thought that the Marc and Cerys 'romance' was deserving of sarcastic quote marks, it looks as though we (yes, myself included) are about to eat our words.
American model Lauren Bush (yes, she is related to George W: she's his niece) attended the launch of the "Feed 1 bag" campaign at Harrods yesterday. And jolly lovely she looked at the event too! 
Yup, it's very possible that Jess has a bun in the oven in this picture. Who knew that when we were commenting on that gorgeous LBD that she would be the next star to join the baby boom?
Yup, that's right folks. Britney Spears could be the next Virgin Mary. Ever imagined the Nativity play complete with pink wigs and mini skirts? One French director has.
Princess B looked lovely as she stepped out to have dinner at London's China Tang restaurant with her mum Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson and her friend Riley Keough (Lisa Marie Priesley's daughter)
What better place to do business while looking fashionable than LAX airport?
Think this story is about Paris Hilton getting her kit off in a club? It wouldn't surprise me either, but the heiress has been dancing on tables in longer skirts like this one these days.
And doesn't she look simply delighful?
Ashley Olsen was out at the weekend in what could possibly be the nicest outfit I've seen on a celebrity this year.
But there were plenty more to spare! 
I don't mean that literally, of course. We don't have a truck full of Sienna Miller shoes to give away.
While the rest of us mere mortals were forced to pay thousands of pounds on eBay for tickets to last night's Led Zeppelin reunion gig, one person didn't have any trouble getting her hands on a ticket, of course.
Eva Mendes, the face of the 2008 Campari Calendar (it's like the Pirelli one but with fewer tyres), turned up to its unveiling yesterday in Miami.
Girls Aloud sure know how to work the red carpet don't they? Always in co-ordinating sparkle, always moving in a pack - they're a force to be reckoned with really. Whether or not the event has anything to do with them.
What is the place to do your Christmas shopping this year? 
Oh, Brange. 
Thought Gary Barlow's skills were limited to songwriting and piano-playing? Think again! For as you can see, he's also an aviator from the 1920s.
Gutted that you're not going skiing this year? Fear not - for thanks to Lindsay Lohan, it's now perfectly acceptable to wear 'ski holiday chic' when you're so far off piste that you're actually in Los Angeles.
Stop the presses! Victoria Beckham may have had, or may be considering having, her breast implants removed!
Readers: you decide.
Some celebrities will go to any lengths to hide themselves from the paparazzi. Wear funny wigs. False moustaches (possibly). Camouflage.
Guess how much I love the dress that Hilary Swank wore to the premiere of PS I Love You?
What does Amy Winehouse have in common with a French fashion powerhouse? More than you'd think.
Thought the whole new wet-look-leather-trouser trend couldn't be topped? Think again!
And to be more exact: a National Treasure in Chanel.
My, isn't Paris's little sister looking all grown up?!
Britney Spears was showing off her latest accessory yesterday. They're small, they're furry... no it's not the Olsen twins or a pair of slippers. It's puppies!
Take a look at this picture The X Factor's Niki in a lovely frock - because it's probably the last one you'll see.
So here's Kate Moss's latest airport style. Granted, it's not that different from her 
Sienna Miller was snapped out in the streets of London yesterday, looking just about as happy as anyone can look when they've just come back to Britain after a holiday in Mexico. In December.
Now, I know what you're thinking. "Hasn't Marc Bannerman put on a bit of weight?" Or possibly: "I'm sure that lovely Marc Bannerman fella was a bit taller in the jungle".
Yes, anything Jordan can-can do, Paris Hilton can-can do better.
Here's the moment Renee Zellweger hit the red - or rather, green astroturf - carpet for the London premiere of Bee Movie.
The fashion fodder just gets better! Loving the colour on display in this shot. Who will be the most stylish of them all?
Will Charlotte and Harry expand their family? Or will Charlotte expand on her Upper East Side style?
And what about Samantha and Miranda? Here's hoping both of their boys are still around. Especially that Smith character...
And finally, the question we're all asking: what will happen with Carrie and Big? After they revealed his real name on the season finale of the show, will they still even call him Big? 
At first I didn't think there was anything special about this picture. 
See?! 
It's a tough life for Keira Knightley, isn't it? 
Before I get to the good stuff, can I pause to comment on how gorgeous Victoria Beckham looks in this picture? 
Not really. But had you for a second didn't I?
Our girl Amy had some good news yesterday as nominees for the 50th Grammy Awards were announced. Her debut album Back to Black has won her six nominations, including Album of the Year.
No, she's not having an Ugly Betty moment. We're talking the kind that hold your trousers up. And the kind that can very strategically cover you up.
I’ve been missing a daily dose of Sienna style. And she didn’t disappoint on her return. Does anything say jetset better than a glamorous fur hat?
I'm A Celebrity may be over - but Janice Dickinson's publicity-seeking antics are continuing unabated.
Or to be precise: what she was wearing on her feet.
Proof, it it were needed, that you can't go wrong with a Little Black Dress was out last night: in the form of Anne Hathaway.
And just to prove it, she wore this T-shirt while she was out Christmas shopping. Yes, our Paris is nothing if not literal.
Well it could be true. Her new svelte figure that she's been showing off on the cover of GQ would suggest as much.
Well, anything Reese Witherspoon can do, Lindsay Lohan can do... erm, not quite as well.
Yes, that's 6*am*.
Which is just as well, because judging from what she was wearing, she could possibly do with a new outfit.
And I mean: well red.
Okay, so it's not exactly front page news, but this is the first time we've seen them papped together in weeks! 
The very un-shabby James McAvoy turned up to the premiere of Atonement in New York last night with some moody-looking bird on his arm... Keira something... 'Knightley', I think. 
Apart from the fact that she's stepping down from her private jet, Geri Halliwell could easily have been heading to Woodstock in this outfit.
This season's metallic trend is getting everywhere! 
Spring is already blooming on the red carpet. The 
We're used to seeing him splash out on extravagent gifts for his other half, but this week David Beckham has taken generosity to a whole new level. 
Would you be if you were Kate Moss? I think not.
Okay, so I'm officially a member of the I Heart Kate Hudson fanclub. Could this girl get any more stylish?
Tall, dark, handsome, and excellent control of a big green wheely bin........what more could you want from a guy?
Paris Hilton has had so many 'new looks' this year it's starting to make my head spin! This time Paris has ditched the vamp look she usually favours and replaced it with something more body covering and feminine.
Well, the season of I'm A Celebrity is over. The celebrities have all escaped the jungle, stopping only for one last photo call as a cast. Well, some of them at least.
Kate Moss was out in London last night doing what she does best: wearing something just ever so slightly different from the last time she was out in London.
Ah, here she is!
Britney Spears stepped out in, erm, style, for her birthday celebrations last night.
Back, I tell you!
No, it's not another small dog. It's an Alice band.
Nicky Hilton went out shopping for a lamp yesterday. Which is spooky, because I went out shopping for a lamp the other day, too. I got mine from IKEA in Croydon, whereas Nicky got hers from Fantasy Lamp in Hollywood - but apart from those minor details, it really is uncanny.
Bless the lovely Christopher Biggins. Pictured here taking part in yesterday's Bushtucker Bonanza - in which he had to eat a witchetty grub, a crocodile's foot, three cockroaches, a kangaroo penis and a kangaroo testicle (as you do, on I'm A Celebrity) - the TV entertainer was crowned king of the reality jungle last night.
Well, when I say "winter sport", I obviously mean: "a sport she's doing in the winter". As opposed to skiing, say, or curling. 
Hmm, is that a cape or a pair of wings you're wearing Miss Eva Herzigova?
We see her all the time now, but it looks like we'll be hearing a lot more from Lindsay Lohan in the future as she prepares to take another stab at recording a record.
She may have won a gong - but as far as I'm concerned, Eva Longoria failed to impress on the red carpet at the Bambi 2007 awards last night.
Is it just me or have we been throwing out a number of old fashion rules this year? Mini skirts after 35? If you've got the pins, why not. Wearing black with navy? Linda Evangelista gave us the go ahead last night.
Where does one begin with the latest news on Britney Spears? 
Loving the outfits style guru Mark Heyes picks out on GMTV?
Kimberley, you’ve done us proud! 
Our girl Posh is continuing to rack up the fashionista points.
Tiny, military-style hats off to Chanelle Hayes for pulling off yet another publicity - indeed, military - coup.
If a week is a long time in politics, then it's a very long time in reality television.
The world of fashion designers is firmly placed in the future. You can bet that any one of the designers at the British Fashion Awards last night were taking a break from finishing off their Autumn/Winter 2008 collections and even collecting inspiration for Spring/Summer 2009! So what better event to predict the next hot style trends to hit the streets?
I don't know about about you, but I've been wanting to put a (both literal and metaphorical) cardi round poor Amy Winehouse's shoulders for days now. The fragile-looking singer's 
Cheer up, you two!
Well, almost.
What is Lily so excited about? Why last night's British Fashion Awards of course! Our favourite stylish celebrities, models and designers were out in full force and we've got the run down of all the best (and worst) style moments of the evening.
Tonight the hottest names in British fashion will take to the red carpet for the British Fashion Awards. Designers, both established and up and coming, models and you can bet the odd Royal will be mingling at the Lawrence Hall in Westminster for British fashion’s Oscars. We’ll have all the highlights of the evening for you right here on 
Take a look, if you will, at ballroom dancing's equivalent to Hugh Grant, Arun Nayer and Liz Hurley.
Depending on which part of the above headline you find the most interesting, may I divert you to the paragraph of your choice, below?
Think Amy Winehouse is hard for stepping out in winter in 
London, I tell you! 
Amy, Amy, Amy! 
I'm really starting to dislike that Hayden Panettiere.
French singer Vanessa Paradis got into a particularly fashionable Christmas spirit last night when she helped launch the Champs-Elysees lights in Paris.
Typical. You wait ages for 
She's being hailed the "Party Princess" - and just last week was 
Relax, everybody! Lindsay Lohan is back on the West Coast, and all is right with the world. Phew.
Call me old-fashioned, but I've never understood why Paris Hilton is supposed to be some sort of style icon. And to defend my case, I'd like to present the jury with Exhibit A, to the left here.
What does troublemaker Amy Winehouse have in common with raunchy songstress Rihanna?
So, hands up who saw the Kylie documentary last night? 
When a Girls Aloud member makes the headlines after a wild night out in London, you can bet your bottom dollar it’s Sarah Harding. But not this time. 
You've got to feel sorry for Kimberley Walsh, haven't you? It was her birthday celebration last night - but who stopped the traffic? Why, her bandmate Sarah Harding, of course!
Poor Amy Winehouse looked like she was going to catch her death of cold as she left her gig at the Hammersmith Apollo last night. Although thinking about it, that big beehive probably acts like a sort of hat, doesn't it? And we all know that we lose most of our body heat through our heads. 
A radiant Dannii Minogue beamed through her chaffeured car window last night as she left The X Factor studio - but just hours before, she'd been blubbing like a big girl. 
Ooh, tensions were high on Strictly Come Dancing last night, as Brendan "Badboy of Ballroom" Cole argued with the judges about his "flat Samba". Or something.
Adda girl, Jordan! I mean: Katie!
Burlesque queen Dita Von Teese has been in London this week 
Liz Hurley was doing what she does best yesterday. No, not acting. Or film producing. Promoting her beachwear range, silly!
Not content with 
Not to be outdone by the line-up of girls in Amy Winehouse masks, Jordan - sorry, Katie Price - showed off three faces at her perfume launch in Dublin yesterday. 
Now, I'm sure I'm not the only person who finds this picture ever so slightly creepy.
At first look Sarah Harding's latest outfit isn't anything special.
Ladies! Bored of the ol' Little Black Dress? Looking for some inspiration for your Christmas party outfit? Why, look no further than Ms Katie Price here!
Just as with her fashion, everything stays the same, and yet changes, in the world of Kate Moss.
News flash everybody: Dita Von Teese is not in black! I repeat: she is not in black! 
What's this - another photo from the set of the Sex And The City movie? Well, no, actually. This is Sarah Jessica Parker in real life. Yes, real life!
People I Wouldn't Want To Be Right Now: Marc Bannerman.
Check you out, Nancy!
Well, we wouldn't expect her to step out in anything else, would we?
Now that Leona Lewis has Britain's fastest selling debut album ever, I have a feeling designers are lining up to have her wear their brands and carry their handbags when she's out on the town. But if they don't offer leather alternatives like Stella McCartney, they may be out of luck.
Think Victoria Beckham's appearance on Ugly Betty this week was fantastic? Just wait until Lindsay Lohan gets a crack at it.
While 
The little black dress is probably one of the most universally flattering outfits, but Kylie here can make it look like an art.
...erm, again.
It's a dilemma we've all faced. Whether or not to buy the pair of patent pink stilettos we've just spied in a store. So who can blame Lindsay Lohan for appearing to be in a bit of a quandry here?
Girls Aloud starlet Cheryl Cole turned up to the Red Cross London Ball last night looking like a cross between a Roman goddess and a mermaid.
Well, it looks like Grazia magazine was right, doesn't it? not only was 
Grazia has described it as one of this season's key pieces - so it's not that much of a surprise to see it being worn by Kate Moss.
...one US music tradition at a time. 
I think not.
After a rocky opening show for her UK tour, in Birmingham, last week, Amy WInehouse now faces a whole new challenge: how to keep her voluminous hair-do in place after prison guards allegedly rummage through her beehive when she visits her beloved, Blake Fielder-Civil, in Pentonville Prison.
That Kimberley Walsh sure knows how to accessorise!
Watch out, it's the Hair Bear Bunch!
There's something wrong with this picture. Can you spot what it is?
Big Brother’s Chanelle Hayes is set to release her own perfume in another desperate bid to follow her idol Victoria Beckham. 
Quick, follow that cab! Kate Hudson's in town!
Altogether now; "Isn't sheeeee/Pretty in piiiiink..."
If there ever was a way to look even remotely stylish while roughing it in the jungle, it's no surprise that an ex-model would find it. 
My, things just go from good to better for Myleene Klass, don't they?
No, not this man. Kate's pal and Sienna's latest squeeze Rhys Ifans.
Heather Mills launched her latest 'I'm A Nice Person Really. No Really' offensive yesterday - by advertising her green credentials.
Signs That Your Career Has Gone Downhill, No.12: Instead of sending you loads of free stuff, a designer sues you for damaging their image.
What's that? You didn't know that Jennifer Aniston was getting married? Or even dating?
The pros and cons of fake boobs in the jungle according to Janice:
Okay, okay so it was a kiss on the cheek. But there were two such kisses that took place and it's certainly enough to send Marc's live-in girlfriend into a tizzy.
After suffering a couple of injuries, consistent low marks from the judges and curious wardrobe choices, Kate Garraway was finally booted off Strictly Come Dancing. All four judges voted that the GMTV host be cut from the competition.
Is there any star's style more frustrating than Lindsay Lohan's?
While those around her, notably Terri Hatcher and Carrie Underwood, were dressed up to the nines - and the likes of Rihanna and Beyonce were glamming it up over at the AMAs, America wowed the red carpet crowd in... erm, a pair of jeans and a black top.
Looks like the public just hasn't seen enough of Paris Hilton. A new sex tape of the heiress has surfaced on the internet.
In what is probably soon to be the worst kept secret in showbiz after Jennifer Lopez's pregnancy, it looks like Nicole Kidman is also sporting a growing baby bump.
Sorry, but the starlet who can normally do no wrong has done wrong. 
What's this?!
While Sarah Harding was larking around in 
Fill in the blank: 
Eighties-throwback Kimberly Stewart (sorry, but that haircut is bordering on Flock of Seagulls) hit the stores of Bond Street yesterday. 
Is it just me, or is the filming of the Sex And The City taking forever? Have they had bad weather, or something?
What was I saying just the other day?! That

Fooled ya!
Ladies of Britain (nay, the world): don't worry if you find yourself standing in front of your wardrobe today thinking: "I only like about six things here. Guess I'll wear this old stalwart outfit again..." Because if it's good enough for The World's Most Stylish Woman, it's good enough for the rest of us.
Mary-Kate Olsen's ability to walk in some of the shoes she wears is truly astounding. Good thing she has pal designer Giambattista Valli by her side to prop her up this time.
Don't act so coy Kate! If you are going to wear avant guard fashion, you've got to work it.
Jennifer Connelly sure has some fashion-forward style secrets up her sleeve. She never fails to look as though she's walking straight off a catwalk. Wearing a gorgeous red Oscar de la Renta gown and gold peep toes, she looked striking walking into the Seventh on Sale Gala last night.
How could we resist doing another Dita Von Teese post when she's stepping out looking like this?
These days, you're not a real pop diva until you get pregnant... and continue wearing the highest heels you can find.
It was going to happen eventually, right?
You really can get away with anything if you're a celeb, can't you?
She makes it look so easy doesn't she? Who doesn't have a black pencil skirt, boat-neck jumper and black courts in their closet at home? 
The Spice Girls were on stage together for the first time in almost 10 years last night at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles. And though the show doesn't air on TV in the US for another couple of weeks, we have the rundown on all of their wardrobe changes right here on OSOYOU.com.
If 
Oh, don't make that face Cheryl. You said it, we didn't!
Obviously we love a good party dress here at OSOYOU.com. And the more spangly the better as far as we're concerned. We even have a list dedicated to those 
So that explains the bras they wear in their new video. Okay, I get it. They didn't just forget their tops.
It's official: Marks & Spencer are larging it.
Well, almost. 
You know what the difference is between me and Kelly Osbourne? Well, apart from the obvious (bat-eating dad, tons of tattoos and a multi-million dollar fortune).
Jessica Alba's red carpet style rarely lets us down at a film premiere. Style wise that is. The lacy LBD she wore last night is excuse enough for us to go no comment on Good Luck Chuck.
Even though she's making the move to London, it's good to see Kimberly Stewart keeping up appearances in, um, US politics circles.
That's Very Little Black Dress, in case you were wondering.
Call me an old-fashioned fuddy-duddy - although not to my face, obviously - but I'm yet to be convinced by the ankle-boot trend.
(OK, no 'Lily The Pink' jokes, please).
I know that leather will never really go out of fashion - especially if you, y'know, own a motorbike - but who knew that it was back in fashion in quite such a big way?
Black leather jacket? Check. Short satin party frock? Check. Turning on the Christmas lights in Birmingham? Erm, well, actually - more 'Going out for the night in New York before launching her perfume at the Ritz Carlton the following day'. But, you know, it was almost an identical situation there for a moment.
Things just aren’t looking up for Amy these days. We really did have hope for her after she stepped out in that pencil skirt last week. But style is the least of her worries at the moment.
The Less Famous Hilton Sister was out having dinner in Hollywood last night - and wore a pretty eye-catching range of accessories, as you can see.
Hayden Doodahwotsit was at The Paley Center for Media Annual Los Angeles Gala honouring Jeff Zucker and Dick Ebersol at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel last night.
See what I did there?
...as you do, when you're a major pop star on tour in Paris.
She's a trouper, that Geri Halliwell, isn't she?
Her wardrobe mainly consists of black, white and red clothes - so it wasn't going to be long before we saw 
I don't think there's any more to be said, is there?
That jacket being her padded leather blouson (are they still called 'blousons'?).
OK, so this might not be one for the 'Steal Her Look' list - but boy, doesn't Mel B look comfy and cosy in this outfit?!
Chelsy Davy has left her relationship with the ginger Prince up for speculation after deciding to leave the UK. Eight weeks into her two-year law course at Leeds University, the Zimbabwean blonde has decided to return home to Cape Town. She and Harry have been in a reportedly-rocky long distance relationship since 2004, but it seems Chelsy's move to England hasn't helped bring them closer. 
London, I tell you! 
Looks like I got it horribly wrong when I said last week that Lindsay Lohan was 
Call it a hunch, but I think mini-dresses and boots might be de rigueur amongst young women in LA right now. What do you reckon?
Lindsay Lohan has been out and about in LA this weekend. Lunching, shopping, lunching... you know the sort of thing. Goodness knows it's how I spend my weekends in Peckham.
It's happened to all of us. You step off a 10-hour flight, and everyone thinks you're Kate Moss. Yes, even after a 10-hour flight you look like Kate Moss. It's a pain, but it's a cross some of us have to bear. Like poor Eva Herzigova here.
Kate Moss flew to Los Angeles on Thursday - as you do, when you're Kate Moss - and naturally she was snapped here at Heathrow, on arrival at LAX, and probably inbetween, eating a tiny packet of pretzels and ordering a white wine on the plane.
As anyone who knows anyone from sunny climes can tell you: people from warm countries have a tendency to dress as if they are still in that warm country even when they're clearly in a place which isn't warm. Yes, it may be winter in London/New York/Siberia, but that doesn't stop them walking around in shorts.
We've been seeing her in a lot of

We haven't seen much of Liz lately. And usually we see more than we need to.
A new item up for auction on eBay takes celebrity memorabilia to a new level. The current owner of the Mercedes Benz SL that Lindsay Lohan famously crashed (which earned her what seems to be a celebrity badge of honour: a DUI charge) has put the damaged car up for auction with a starting bid of $110,000.
For goodness sake Chanelle, a t-shirt and jeans for your 2008 swimsuit calendar launch? True, it was at Zavvi’s in the Bluewater shopping centre, not exactly a red carpet affair. But Victoria Beckham would certainly have amped up the sex appeal for such an occasion. You have been slacking in your Posh worship lately - especially in the wardrobe department.
More style news:
Well this is a bit of a change from yesterday, SJP! 
Gorgeous Nicole! Where do we start with this stunning look?
Continuing our world tour with Paris, today's she's in... The Republic of Handbags?
We're OSO glad to have you back, Linds. Your shopping trips are always great fodder for our style debates!
For twins who dress alike, I've always wondered how they choose who gets to wear what colour.
The question is: will she be packing her best lingerie?
The fabulous Japanese fashion emporium Uniqlo opened its new flagship store on Oxford Street yesterday.

Another day, another teaser for the Sex and the City movie - or at least, what the girls are going to be wearing in it.
