Where did you Hide the Real Victoria?

Victoria Beckham has done a lot of magazine shoots in her time. And they all follow the same format: Victoria pouts, poses, wears black and generally looks as groomed as ever.
Which is why the latest Glamour cover staring Victoria stopped me in my tracks. Would the real Victoria Beckham really pose on the cover of a magazine in a baggy t-shirt, with messy hair and a dog (think of the germs) draped around her neck? It's just not very... well, posh.


But I adore this shoot, I really do. I mean, the last thing any of us imagine Victoria doing at home is scrubbing the floor on her hands and knees with a bowl of melted chocolate nearby. It's almost as unlikely as her spraying whipped cream into her mouth straight from the can.


Can it get much better? To see more of the shoot visit glamour.com. Does this shoot make your day too?

Grammy Awards Best Dressed

As I said last week I never look forward to the red carpet at the Grammy Awards. Along with all MTV awards it is merely a place for beautiful (or in many occasions rather ugly) clothes to die. Looking through the red carpet pictures this morning I was as unimpressed as ever; but also was nicely surprised to see there were two ladies doing the red carpet justice.
Both Lady Gaga and Rihanna walked the red carpet in couture (Couture? at the Grammys? Yes, really) with Gaga in custom made Armani Prive and RiRi in Elie Saab.


I think I actually preferred Rihanna in the Viktor & Rolf dress she wore to the pre-party. Who do you think looked the best?

The Best Dressed at the Grammys was...
Lady Gaga
Rihanna

And congrats to Beyonce, who set the record, winning six Grammys. I wasn't into her red carpet dress but loved the Versace she performed in.

Wise Words From Miuccia

"Fashion is an important part of a woman's life. It's a question of aesthetics and that is in no way stupid or superficial." - Miuccia Prada tells Elle Collections*.

Hit and Miss of the Week: Pretty in Pink

This week my favourite look belonged to Kate Bosworth. She took to the red carpet in a pale pink Calvin Klein, and I adore the result, she looked absolutely stunning. Also dressing up this week were Taylor Swift (who is slowly finding her style) and Dita Von Teese, who was in Paris for the couture collections.
And over in LA the pavements were just as styled as the runways in Paris - both Nicole Richie and Kirsten Dunst were snapped out and about in cute outfits. As always, let me know which look you rate in the comments section.

Oh to know what they're gossiping about. It's probably not last nights episode of The Hills...

What do you think they're saying to each other?

On Your Marcs...

marc

Remember the beauty that was the Marc Jacobs S/S 09 collection? I still miss seeing the ads with Raquel Zimmermann by Jergen Teller [above] in magazines. I'm a massive fan of Marc Jacobs and the S/S 09 collection is one of my all time favourites.
If you wanted a piece of the collection but missed out here's the good news: next week 150 pieces from the collection will hit The Outnet at up to 70% off. So now we can all feel like Raquel!

The Reinvention of Fergie Ferg

Isn't it amazing how much a peplum skirt can do for a girl? I normally ignore Fergie's style but she hit just the right note in this Michael Kors LBD.

I would have preferred a shoe with a less pointy toe, but overall this is one of the best looks I've ever seen Fergie in. The Grammy Awards are coming up, and Fergie will be attending, so I hope she can keep this style improvement up. I always hate the red carpet at the Grammys, the dresses are always so disappointing and somehow even the most expensive dresses end up looking cheap, so fingers crossed Fergie will bring us something to swoon over.
I'd really like to see her in this RM by Roland Mouret dress or a bit of Vionnet, what do you think?
