Five Years Ago

Looking at this Kate Moss shoot from the March 2005 issue of W you notice how much Lara Stone looks like Kate. If I saw the second image in a magazine now I'd probably think it was Lara at first. It's those bleached brows.
I love looking at 'vintage' Kate Moss editorials just as much as I love flicking through old copies of W. Either activity is a great way to spend a Saturday morning.

SJP: Two Dresses, One Day

Yesterday Sarah Jessica Parker was busy promoting SATC2, with Cynthia and Kristen, out in Las Vegas. Getting into the Carrie Bradshaw mindset she wore not one, but two fabulous frocks on the red carpet. Starting with a yellow Lanvin mini and then moving onto a black Marchesa number.

I'm not looking froward to the second movie at all, but I am excited to see what the four ladies wear as they're promoting the sequel. You can always count on SJP to rock a pretty dress.

Wear Your Support

I'm sure you're all aware of the fantastic work Breakthrough Breast Cancer have done since launching in 1996. Last year their annual campaign raised £1.2 million, and this year they're hoping to top that with their “Wear your support” collection.
British retailers, including River Island, Topshop, Whistles and My-wardrobe.com have all designed limited edition black and white pieces for “Wear your support”.
They're a lot more fashionable than your average charity t-shirts, and you can wear them again and again - who doesn't need a LBD or a striped cardigan in their wardrobe?



From above let: Vest by Topshop; Scarf by River Island; LBD by Olivia Rubin at My-Wardrobe; Cardigan by Whistles.

The online shop ( www.fashiontargetsbreastcancer.org.uk) opens on March 29th, when the campaign goes live. And Mario Testino has photographed three famous women for the project. Their identity is top secret at the moment, but as soon as I know who they are you will too. I'm hoping one is Kate Moss. We know her and Mario are good friends...
Kristen and Dakota's Runaway Fashion

Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning are on the road together promoting their new movie, The Runaways. Though I have high hopes for Dakota's style (and am finally starting to 'get' Kristen), I haven't been all that enthusiastic about their red carpet looks, so far.
Kristen is rocking the glam-grunge style, with lots of messy hair, short skirts, sequins and rather a lot of Pucci.
Dakota is going for a more romantic feel. So far her dresses have had a prom-vibe to them, with lots of wide skirts, sweetheart necklines and dainty embellishment.
It's not that I think they're doing a bad job on the red carpet, far from it. But I feel like they're not giving it their all - there's a spark missing.
If they played this the right way they could be are really exciting red-carpet-duo. Think Keira and Sienna when they were promoting The Edge of Love.
I've put together a mood board of what I'm thinking for them:

runaways

1. Matthew Williamson dress; net-a-porter.com. 2. Pippa Small bracelet; matchesfashion.com. 3. Floral beaded jacket; topshop.com. 4. Nina Ricci satin trousers; theoutnet.com. 5. Alexander Wang heels; net-a-porter.com. 6. Christian Louboutin Ulona 140 heels; brownsfashion.com. 7. Richmond studded biker; my-wardrobe.com. 8. Raw Applique vest; topshop.com. 9. Elizabeth and James skirt; net-a-porter.com. 10. Bottega Veneta clutch; matchesfashion.com. 11. Lucy Hutchings ring; my-wardrobe.com.

What would you like to see Dakota and Kristen wear on the red carpet?

Demi on the Biggest Chair, Like, Ever

Demi Moore is the April cover-girl for US Harper's Bazaar. It used to be my favourite magazine, but I haven't bought a copy since the Kate Hudson cover. I'm loving Mark Seliger's photos of Demi, though, so I might have to get this issue.
Who knew she was, one, such good friends with Giraffe's? And, two, oh so small?



It looks like she's wearing McQueen's OTT heels whilst talking to the Giraffe - as one does. And I'm loving the nude Fendi's in the image above left. Ashley Olsen recently wore them to the ELLE Style Awards and you can find the black version at Net-A-Porter. They're seriously yummy!


What do you think of Demi's shoot? I like the surreal element, it's rather Alice in Wonderland.

Jen Shuts it Down

No, you're not dreaming. This really is Jennifer Aniston at the premiere of The Bounty Hunter, wearing a dress that... wait for it.... isn't black! She looks better than beautiful. She's absolutely stunning in this Donna Karan dress.
The peachy shade of nude really compliments Jen's Californaia glow, and the way the dress drapes is simply flawless. You can't get much better than a Donna Karan. And I bet this style sells out everywhere today. Jennifer Aniston, unlike Lindsay Lohan, sells to women.

Jennifer should really pull on a bit of colour more often, don't you think? Perhaps it's time she donated all those black halterneck dresses to charity...

Amanda Wears the Isa Dress

Everytime I go on Net-A-Porter to dream shop I always turn to Roland Mouret's Isa dress. I adore the shape and the colour, and if, for some magical reason, I could really shop at Net-A-Porter the Isa would be at the top of my shopping list.
Because of it's bright colour, sexy shape, and, of course, the fact it's RM by Roland Mouret, I knew it would end up on the red carpet. I just wasn't sure who would be the first to wear it. I was hoping it would be one of my red carpet top three - Diane, Thandie or Zoe - but it actually went to Amanda Seyfried.

She wore it to the premiere of Chloe, last night. I think she did a good job (obviously Diane/Thandie/Zoe would have worn it better, though) and is showing she has some fashion-know-how. Especially after her fabulous appearance at the Oscars.
I wonder if she'll get an invite to the Met Gala this year? She was recently in Vogue so you never know...
Do you think she deserves at Met invite? And what do you think of her style?

Also, the Isa would look fab on Dakota Fanning too, don't you think?
