Christian Lacroix,

Fingers Crossed for Lacroix

Apparently the fate of Christian Lacroix will be decided today . According to Lacroix there have been a few bids on the label, which will hopefully save the fashion house.

I've been looking back at one of my favourite Lacroix Couture collections, I love the ribbons in the hair, the soft lacey pinks and bejeweled crowns. It's fashion at its yummiest.

I Knew It!

A few weeks ago Lorraine Candy, the editor of UK ELLE tweeted a famous-twosome had confirmed they would attend the ELLE Style Awards. I instantly thought of Mary-Kate and Ashley, and when they flew into London the other day I knew a red carpet appearance was on its way. And it was a good one.



Ashley wore vintage Christian Lacroix and to-die-for Fendi heels. While Mary-Kate wore Lanvin and carried a Proenza PS1 clutch. Annoyingly woman of the year didn't go to either of them, instead it was won by the boring Kristen Stewart.




I'm sure they'll both be front row at the Burberry show this afternoon. Devastatingly I 've been invited for a second time but won't be able to go because I'm at Topshop all day. But you can watch the collection live (at 4pm UK time) on the Burberry website, so if you're watching tweet me at @cocosteaparty to let me know how it looks. It's sure to be fantastic.

Which look did you prefer last night? Mary-Kate in Lanvin of Ashley in Lacriox?

Golden Globes: Saving the Best Until Last

In the Golden Globes post yesterday I said I felt there were far too many boring strapless dresses on the red carpet. Reading through all your lovely comments I noticed that most of you felt the same, and it's almost taken the joy and interest out of red carpet events.
Which is why it's rather fitting that the two looks from last night that I liked the best came from the after parties, where it was less formal and there was more room for individuality:


Ashley Olsen in Erdem
You know Ashley is my absolute favourite ever. And I'm a massive fan of Erdem. Together they make a beautiful, and rather unexpected pair. It's so lovely to see Ashley in a bold colour and I adore the matching Manolos.


Chloe Sevigny in Christian Lacroix
I'm now on board with the grey Valentino she wore on the red carpet, but this Lacroix dress was love at first sight. I love the prom-style shape on her, and the sheer skirt works really well.

Were you also loving Ashley and Chloe's after party looks?

And a few people asked me what I thought of Jennifer Aniston's dress yesterday. I didn't dislike it in anyway, she looked brilliant, but seeing as it was another black dress I didn't think there was much to report.

Sienna Miller on Tour

Sienna has been promoting her new movie Gi Joe for a few weeks now, and while the movie looks terrible her promotional wardrobe has been one to watch. First came the cute Poltock & Walsh dress teamed with Chloe boots, then her amazing Loewe trousers which got wet. Since then she has followed up with a gorgeous DVF dress and a Gucci suit, which I am not that fond of but give her credit for trying out.

The only other promotional wardrobe of 2009 that got this much attention was Emma Watson's for Harry Potter. I don't think I could decide on a favourite between the two - can you?
What I do know is that I want some of the Sienna look, here are the best Miller-like pieces online:
