Get Her a Teen Vogue Cover

I've had a very busy day and only just got the chance to have a proper look at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards red carpet. I must say the turnout last night was excellent. Normally the frocks are tacky, naff and totally disgusting, but this year there were some really desirable looks.
One of the dresses that stood out was the red Versus number worn by Miranda Cosgrove. I didn't have any idea who she actually was until I Googled her and realised she played Summer from the School of Rock. Her style has definitely improved since then, no?



If I was an editor at Teen Vogue I'd frantically be trying to get Miranda to shoot a cover. She has the child star past, the wholesome girl-next-door smile and great taste in clothes. That's just about everything Teen Vogue looks for in a cover girl.

What do you think of Miranda's look? And who do you think was the best dressed last night?

P.S I prefer the dress in blue, don't you?

Hit and Miss of the Week: Kristen's Hit

The day has finally come - I've given Kristen Stewart a hit. And it's well deserved. A few weeks ago you all agreed that the shirt/skirt combo was a great look for Kristen, and she gave it an update this week at an event.
Daphne Guinness, Natasha Poly and Rachel Bilson also looked great this week - although when does Rachel Bilson ever look bad? - but Katherine Heigl and Vanessa Hudgens both slipped up.
I think Vanessa's style is on its way to being great, but she made the mistake of adding way too much to one look, this week. It's a shame because she was on a roll.

Yves Saint Laurent's Very YSL Collection

I don't really like it when a new designer enters a house and everyone expects it to be exactly the same as before. Because it never will be. I'm very interested to see how people react to Sarah Burton's first collection for McQueen, as those are some hard shoes to fill. Giles, on the other hand, will probably be quite safe at Emanuel Ungaro as my cat could design a better collection than Lindsay Lohan.
There's a fine line between copying the style of the designer before and completely changing the vision of the label; and Stefano Pilati's Resort 2011 collection for Yves Saint Laurent strikes the perfect balance. It's still Pilati's work but there are some beautiful references to YSL's original work.



There were rumours earlier in the year that Pilati may leave Yves Saint Laurent but I seriously hope he doesn't. I love his work and this is definitely my favourite Resort collection. I would wear every piece. Personal favourites include the adorable little bra tops, the white coat with the black trim and the short-suit which had a touch of Le Smoking to it.



Pilati is regularly criticised for using so much black (remember Anna in The September Issue with her "what, no colour this season, Stefano?" comment) but everyone is sure to be happy with the resort collection, as he produced a fabulous selection of monochrome looks and pieces in flashy brights. I wish this is how my summer wardrobe looked. Every piece is so chic.


If Resort is a taster for the season ahead then I cannot wait to see what Stefano Pilati puts together for S/S 2011. It's sure to be good...

Do you love the Yves Saint Laurent Resort collection too?

It's a Supermodel Friday

If you haven't picked up a copy of the new UK Vogue yet you really must over the weekend. I think it's their best issue of the year so far, with a Karl Lagerfeld interview, a gorgeous Cameron Diaz shoot, a piece on Camille Miceli and a fantastic feature on the era of the supermodel.


I just finished reading House of Versace: The Untold Story of Genius, Murder, and Survival so I'm more than a bit obsessed with the supermodels at the moment. The Vogue article really couldn't have come at a better time. When Linda, Cindy, Naomi and Christy walked the Versace runway arm-in-arm back in 1991 I was only a baby, but it's still one of my favourite fashion moments.
And because it's a sunny Friday morning how about a little George Michael Freedom 90?



My favourite super is Naomi Campbell followed closely by Linda - although obviously I love them all. Who is your favourite supermodel of all time?

"Don't do that. Don't mock the clothes."

Tonight is the night people. I am finally (and rather reluctantly) going to see the Sex and the City sequel. I know I'll hate it. My mum went to see it the other day and simply said "you'll loathe it."
But I figure if I'm gonna hate on it as much as I have been I'm going to have to see it. Otherwise it's just not fair.
I've heard many negative things about the film so far (that there is no plot, that the characters are like cartoons, that it's offensive to other cultures... the list goes on and on) but the thing everyone has been telling me is that the clothes SUCK.
Sex and the City and bad costumes? This cannot be, can it? In the fear that it may be true I've had to post one of my favourite Carrie Bradshaw outfits of all time. Every time I watch this episode her dress makes me smile.
And in other SATC news there are now rumours Miley Cyrus will play Carrie in the Sex and the City prequel. Please no. Just no. Make it stop! It makes me as angry as Carrie is in this scene below:



At least I know I can return to the safety of my SATC boxsets if the movie is as bad as everyone is reporting. I've recently been re-watching season three, which is my favourite, and it really never gets boring.
Wish me luck for tonight, and please let me know what you thought of the sequel. Did you love it or loathe it?

On WAG Watch

I literally have no interest in football whatsoever. In fact I don't really hold enthusiasm for any kind of sport, I kind of like tennis but only when Andy Roddick is playing. But I'm smart enough to know the world cup is about to start, which means everyone will start talking about WAG's again. I'm not sure if this phrase has made it out of the UK -it simply stands for "Wives and Girlfriends" of footballers. Victoria Beckham is WAG, but she was a Spice Girl first so she's an independent WAG. The Queen WAG.
David Beckham isn't playing in the world cup (for someone who doesn't like football I know my stuff, right?) which leaves a vacancy for the leading WAG. My money is on Alex Curran, who is married to Steven Gerrard.



This was Alex yesterday afternoon. As you can see she's no Victoria but she's got potential. If her hair wasn't so Barbie-ish and she lost the rather tacky bangles that would be a good look. And I like the dress, it's a great colour.
Unfortunately the rather derogatory role of the WAG is to be quiet, go shopping and wear as many trends as you can at once. Alex can do trends, no problem, she owns a ton of Balmain has been seen out in clogs and owns those Christian Louboutin leopard print boots. But I think she's one to watch in terms of proper fashion. She had seven pages dedicated to her in the January issue of UK Vogue (sure, that's just great PR, but more it's than any other WAG) and with proper styling she looks really good.



I doubt she'll be spotted in a simple shift dress at the world cup, but it would be great if she did jump out of her comfort zone. Either way she's the only WAG I'm remotely interested in seeing pictures of. I hope she rules the world cup.

What do you think of Alex's style? Is she your favourite WAG?
