Rihanna For Interview Magazine December 2010

Rihanna looks pretty hot on the cover of Interview Magazine’s December 2010 issue which was shot by Mikael Jansson.
Her editorial wasn’t a crazy as I imagined.
We see Rihanna wearing Lanvin, Valentino, Miu Miu and Chanel’s Spring 2011 feathered dress.
The singer was interviewed by label mate and friend Kanye West, who needs to brush up on his ridiculous interview questions.
Here are some extracts from their interview:
Kanye: How does it feel to know that you could have any man in the world? Or woman? How does it feel to know that you can turn straight women gay?
Rihanna: Is that a real question?
Kanye: Yeah.
Rihanna: Well … Thank you. I don’t know how to feel about that. I guess that’s flattering.
Kanye: So what inspired you to have that pink tank on your last tour? That was amazing, when you were sitting on top of the army tank.
Rihanna: I love to combine femininity with a kind of extreme masculine egde, and I felt like the tank is just not a typical thing that you think of when you think of a girl — or in any kind of relation to a girl. Then we made it hot pink. We just added that touch.
Kanye: I mean, people really need to see a photograph — the entire tank was pink. That was a great piece of commercial pop art. Was the idea of that to kind of portray an American Dream — like the fantasy of a this hot black girl sitting on a top of a pink tank?
Rihanna: I never actually thought of it like that.
Kanye: How did you get signed?
Rihanna: Well, I met Evan [Rogers] and Carl [Sturken], these two producers who live here in New York. They are both married to Barbadian women, so they go there to vacation all the time. My friend introduced me to them, and I sang for them, and we talked, and they had me and my mom come back a couple of days later. After that, we started traveling to New York, working on a demo. Within a year, it was done, and we sent it out. Def Jam was the first label to call back. We got other calls, but they were the most enthusiastic. It was so nerve-wracking, though, the whole experience.
Kanye: Why?
Rihanna: I mean, I was 16. From Barbados. Like, you would never … the chances of ever meeting somebody famous or ever being signed — that was just a deadly combination. Like, I had to meet Jay-Z and audition for him at the same time.
Kanye: Do you know any famous people now?
Rihanna: Huh?

Halle Berry In Alberta Ferretti – CNN Heroes: An All Star Tribute

I’m not sure how, but I missed Halle Berry at the CNN Heroes: An All Star Tribute earlier this week.
The Oscar winning actress looked divine wearing an Alberta Ferretti Resort 2011 white silk jersey one shoulder gown with two silver cuffs and large hooped earrings.
I love this look.
It’s so simple and elegant, but I do miss the days of her jaw dropping gowns that would blow us all away.

Elsa Pataky In Blumarine – Top Glamour Awards 2010

The Top Glamour Awards 2010 took place in Mexico recently.
Spanish actress Elsa Pataky arrived wearing a very sexy Blumarine Fall 2010 dress.
Her chiffon crystal embroidered bustier dress had a flowing chiffon train.
Elsa loves to show off her gorgeous figure, but I’m not surprised she didn’t wear her dress as dangerously short as the model.
Suede embellished heels and bun swept to the side completed her sexy red carpet look.

Who Wore Stella McCartney Better? Eva Mendes or Jenny McCarthy

Eva Mendes arrived at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards wearing a Stella McCartney Pre-Fall 2010 sequined dress.
Her loose-fitting dress didn’t show of the gorgeous curves we know Eva possess.
She added gold accessories to her already sparkling look.
Jenny McCarthy wore the same dress to the 2010 American Music Awards on Sunday.
Her modifed dress was shorter, sleeker and sexier, as it showed off more legs and gave her a more appealing silhouette.
Black peep-toe Louboutin’s and a super high updo completed her look.
Jenny wins this no question. She took this dress from blah to a sexy hot frock.

Lin Chiling In Valentino – 47th Golden Horse Film Awards

Lin Chiling was one of my favourites to walk the red carpet at the 47th Golden Horse Film Awards which was held in Taiwan recently.
The actress and model was breath-taking wearing an exquisite Valentino Pre-Fall 2010 gown.
I love how her gown shimmers via the beaded details on the skirt which are lost in the models studio picture.
We also get to see more of the lace details on the bodice.
Beauty, great style, grace and elegance always secures a star a spot on the BDOTW poll.

Kylie Minogue showed off a lot of leg when she performed at the Starfloor event in Paris recently.
She performed with Taio Cruz and she also did her own set delighting the crowds by singing her classic hits, “Get Outta My Way”, “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head” and “Love At First Sight.”
Her Frankie Morello Spring 2010 dress was the perfect stage look.
It’s sexy, has an eye-catching sea blue colour, a cheeky denim skirt and a chiffon train for plenty of movement.

Vivian Hsu In Lanvin – 47th Golden Horse Film Awards

Actress Vivian Hsu arrived at the 47th Golden Horse Film Awards wearing Lanvin.
Her Spring 2010 sleeveless dress with a thigh-high split has the same draped detail as the jumpsuit which was presented on the runway.
From this picture it looks like Vivian has taken inspiration from Blake Lively by holding her dress to show off her legs.
I like this look but I’m not blown away by it. A beautiful bejeweled clutch would’ve been very welcome.

Li Bing Bing – 47th Golden Horse Film Awards

The 47th Golden Horse Film Awards was held in Taiwan recently.
Asian actress Li Bing Bing looked stunning as she walked the red carpet wearing a baby blue embellished one-shoulder gown.
The colour beautiful against her pale skin.
I would loved this look more had it been more fitted around the waist, but it’s a minor detail when the glam factor is so high with this look.
Piaget jewels and butterfly clutch complete the look.

January Jones In Versace – Central Saint Martins 20:20 Fashion Fund

Dominic Cooper, January Jones and Rupert Everett helped Donatella Versace celebrate the launch of the Central Saint Martins 20:20 Fashion Fund at the Connaught Hotel in Mayfair, London last night.

January Jones is currently in London filming ‘X Men’ and as you know she’s very much Donatella’s favourite.

The ‘Mad Men’ star and unofficial brand ambassador for Versace wore a very severe high bun with her Versace Spring 2011 dress and black suede pumps.

Her black cocktail dress with an open back had shiny black buttons details and patent leather straps.

Donatella opted to wear a very sexy chocolate metallic Versace dress.

This dress didn’t appear on the runway, but if you look at several looks from the Fall 2010 collection, you can see at least 3 looks this dress was derived from.

Eva Mendes In Prada & Lela Rose – “The Other Guys” Madrid Photocall

Eva Mendes continues to promote her new film “The Other Guys.”

Yesterday her latest stop was Madrid where she attended a photocall with her co-star Will Ferrell.

She’s given us many fabulous looks from sexy to serious to sophisticated, but on this occasion she gave us something quite brave for her.

She wore a bold Prada Spring 2011 dress.

Her strapless dress has an eclectic mix of colours, stripes and baroque prints which looks gorgeous on her.

I’m pleasantly surprised to see her pull it off so well.

I wouldn’t have thought Eva would even consider this collection as her style tends to be quite safe as she usually sticks to a very neutral colour palette.

Black Prada peep-toes complete her look.

On the same day Eva and Will appeared on the popular Spanish TV show ‘El Hormiguero’ to promote their movie.

The actress wore a Lela Rose Spring 2011 dress which had been modified from the runway. Eva’s version is sleeveless and it also has an asymmetrical neckline.

Eva has become quite the Lela Rose brand ambassador, so I’m not surprised to see her wearing special pieces.

This is her 3rd Lela Rose Spring 2011 look within a month.

Sexy nude pumps complete this look.

Katy Perry In Miu Miu – Selfridges “Purr” Fragrance Launch

Earlier today in London Katy Perry made an appearance at the luxury department store Selfridges, to launch her new fragrance “Purr.”

The star was colour coordinated with the background wearing a purple Miu Miu Fall 2010 dress.

As much I loved the dress on the runway, the commercial version doesn’t quite excite me – but I don’t hate it.

It has the same high neckline, scalloped edges and bow front detail, but the satin material doesn’t work for me.

I much prefer the thicker wool material from the runway, but I am impressed that Katy’s satin dress isn’t creased like a lot of dresses we’ve seen on the red carpet lately.

Sheer tights and Dolce & Gabbana double strap ankle black pumps complete the look.

Selfridges will have the exclusive on the fragrance for one week before it’s rolled out nationally to Debenhams and Superdrug.

Jennifer Lopez In Andrew Gn – 2010 Latin Grammy Awards

This is how I like my divas.

Sexy, hot, fierce and fearless.

Jennifer Lopez looked breath-taking at the 2010 Latin Grammy Awards last night which was held at the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas.

Her hips did not lie in this stunning Andrew Gn keyhole gown.

I’m aching over how amazing she looks in this dusty rose star embellished gown with a contrasting beaded belt.

Lose the oddly place grey clutch and we have total perfection.

When she’s on fire she can shut any red carpet down.

Is this a BDOTW contender for you?

Ashley Greene In Giambattista Valli – “Inside the mark Studio”

Ashley Greene attended “Inside the mark Studio” event at the Glass Houses in New York City yesterday.

As the face of the ‘mark’ brand she spoke to fans online at the studio and schooled them on what it takes to be an ambassador.

Like Bianca Brandolini D’Adda and Olivia Palermo, the “Twilight” star is developing a love for Giambattista Valli.

I adore her wearing this Giambattista Valli contrast fabric dress.

The beige bodice and tweed skirt is the perfect sophisticated look for the young actress, without aging her too much.

She paired her look with black tights and black Casadei pumps.

Sarah Jessica Parker In Elie Saab & Halston – 2010 Bambi Awards

Sarah Jessica Parker hosted the 2010 Bambi Awards in Germany last night.

She wowed the audience wearing an Elie Saab Fall 2010 gown.

The haunted forest print empire-line gown has a lace bodice with subtle sequin detailing.

It a gorgeous gown. She totally owns it.

If only the photographer had opted for a long shot.

SJP arrived on the red carpet wearing a shimmering Halston dress with bronze Nicholas Kirkwood heels and a Judith Leiber clutch.

I really love her belted asymmetrical dress, but I’m not a fan of her necklace with the dress. Necklaces and asymmetrical dresses together have never made sense to me.

I wasn’t fond of her final look.

The peasant-inspired look included a silver corset top with a multi-coloured voluminous skirt.

I think it looks really cheap compared to her other fabulous looks.

Camilla Belle In Carolina Herrera – 2010 Latin Grammy Awards

I wasn’t crazy about Carolina Herrera’s Spring 2011 collection, but I didn’t want to be too quick to write it off as I wanted to see how well it translated on the red carpet.

My answer is not too badly at all.

Last night at the 2010 Latin Grammy Awards, Camille Belle wore a Carolina Herrera Spring 2011 floral impressionist strapless gown with an olive green canvas belt which has ever-so slightly been modified from the runway.

The mix of colours is perfect for this event and her poise helps her carry off such a vibrant gown.

A Raven Kauffman Couture ‘Rita’ clutch and Cartier jewels completed her look.

I’m really surprised that I don’t hate it, but I would’ve preferred the runway belt.

Clemence Poesy In Chanel Couture – “Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 1″ World Premiere

Clemence Poesy also attended the “Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 1? World Premiere last night.

The French actress was the very picture of subtle elegance wearing a Chanel Fall 2010 Couture dress.

Her navy lace Couture dress with voluminous sleeves had a beautiful black velvet detail on the bodice.

Clemence wasn’t going to make any style statements at this premiere like Emma; she arrived with that graceful air of not even knowing how amazing she looks.

Clemence carried what looked like a a book, but her “La Belle et la Bête” (Beauty and the Beast) book is actually a clutch by Olympia Le Tan.

Bizarrely it works

Natalie Portman In Rodarte – AFI Fest 2010 “Black Swan” Closing Night Gala

Natalie Portman’s new movie “Black Swan” closed AFI Fest 2010 in LA last night.

The actress wore a gorgeous pink and floral Rodarte dress with a colourfully beaded waistband.

Natalie worked a super cute girl-next-door look teaming her strapless dress with a burgundy Christian Dior clutch and gold Mary Jane heels.

I thought Natalie was wearing a watch, but it’s actually a beautiful floral charm on a pink ribbon.

Perfect as always.
