Is it just me, or are High School Musical starlets Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale morphing more and more into the same person? Matching tans, matching make-up and matching pouts, the one thing that actually sets them apart at the LG Rumorous Night event in Los Angeles last night was their choice of outfit.

While Vanessa chose a dainty mint frock and black gladiator heels, former-blonde-now-brunette Ashley chose a racier, backless blue number and likewise, paired it with black strappy heels. Both looked fresh and pretty, but who owned the red carpet more? Vote in our poll below and let us know.

Alexa Chung moves to our shores for MTV gig

By kelly on April 29th, 2009

alexa_chung_nyc.jpg

It’s no secret we and our UK buddies over at Catwalk Queen have a major style crush on Alexa Chung, but unfortunately for us, we’ve never had a chance to get a load of her presenting skills and see her on-screen style as much as they do. Until now, that is.

Yep, the gal who is featured on seemingly everyone’s best-dressed lists and blogged about by loyal fashion-followers has made the big move to New York City, where she will be hosting a daily The Alexa Chung Show on MTV. As much as we’re sure our Brit pals will miss her, we’re looking forward to the live music performances, cosy sofa chats with celeb guests and of course, checking out Ms Chung’s ever-stylish wardrobe. Roll on June 15!

Hedi Slimane diarizes Coachella Music Festival 2009 in photo form

By kelly on April 28th, 2009

We absolutely adore Hedi Slimane‘s photographic diary website, and even more so when it features inspiring and beautiful shots like the ones below, taken at the Coachella Music Festival recently. Word on the street (well, in the bloggy blog world) is that the former designer was scouting talent – and it looks like he found it, big time! Can’t wait for summer days of wavy hippie-hair, chunky jewellery and crop tops.

Despite being only 16 years old, Miley Cyrus (and her stylist) have the fashion world at their feet, with no doubt only the very best designer bits and bobs to choose from. This would be especially true for the current red carpet world tour she’s undertaking for the premieres of her new film Hannah Montana: The Movie as all eyes are on her. From entirely grown up in Hervé Léger to pretty and sheer in Temperley London, lucky Miley gets to wear it all. But which one looks best? Vote in our poll below to let us know your thoughts.

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt finally get hitched. (And guess who attended?!)

From our UK sister site, Catwalk Queen

It was a match made in reality TV heaven, and the cameras were there to capture every moment. Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt were married for a second time over the weekend in front of their family and friends in Pasadena, California. The couple eloped to Mexico in November, but later found out their union was not legally binding. Dressed in floaty strapless Monique Lhullier dress, Heidi dazzled in over $1million of diamonds. Attending the nuptials were MTV stars Audrina Partridge, Brody Jenner, Kristin Cavallari and Lauren “Lo” Bosworth. But the biggest surprise was Lauren Conrad (above, right), who made a quick exit after originally saying that she wouldn’t be attending.

To see what the other guests wore (and Heidi’s BCBG-clad bridesmaids – sister Holly and sister-in-law Stephanie) then click through below…

Quote of the day

Quote of the day: A piece of Paris ‘Vogue’ fashion director Emmanuelle Alt’s infinite wisdom…

By kelly on April 24th, 2009

emmanuelle_alt_sartorialist_qotd.jpg

“Forget trendy designer labels. Jeans, a sweater or a t-shirt worn under a jacket that seems welded to you. When it’s just right, when you don’t see the effort, it’s irresistible.”

Favourite look of the week: Diane Kruger at the Chanel-hosted dinner for the Tribeca Film Festival Artist Awards Program

By kelly on April 24th, 2009

diane_kruger_chanel_tribeca_dinner.jpg

Yes, here we are raving about Diane Kruger again! But look at her outfit at the Chanel-hosted annual dinner for Tribeca Film Festival Artist Awards Program – it’s sleek, sophisticated and Chanel to a ‘T’ – Mr Lagerfeld would be very pleased. The silver silk harem pants are, in a way, a bold choice but are made to look timeless and effortlessly elegant thanks to the basic black roll neck sweater and black peep-toes. Am wishing for a Freaky Friday body swap right about now!

Star style: Kate Moss joins the Balmain fan club in silver sparkles

By kelly on April 23rd, 2009

Catwalk Queen‘s Kimberley Foster writes…

Fanning our lust for all things Balmain is Kate Moss. The supermodel caused a pap frenzy overnight as she left Nobu restaurant with funny man, David Walliams (yep, that’s him behind her!) The supermodel looked fantastically-futuristic in a silver and black sequinned mini dress, with exaggerated shoulders from Balmain’s autumn/winter ’09 collection. She also attended the launch the new White Light diamond, designed by her friend Shaun Leane. I wonder, has she been taking style inspiration from Star Trek and Claire Merry’s Pam Hogg spacesuit?

Fashion insiders the new paparazzi fodder

By kelly on April 23rd, 2009



Admit it – you love to check out what other people are wearing, whether it be your friends or the lady next to you in the bank queue or your favourite pop star in their latest music video. Street style blogs have been creeping up in the popularity stakes for a few years now, to the point where people are making a living out of them. And the stars of these sites are of course the ones who get all the insider information (and access to all the best clothes) – the fashion journos, PRs and so on.

Carine Roitfeld and Emmanuelle Alt of Paris Vogue are style icons to countless fashionistas as are other editors and stylists and thanks to street style bloggers and fashion paparazzi their stars just keep on rising. Check out this Style.com video to see what it’s like for them to walk the gauntlet of fashion paps in order to attend the shows.

Matthew Williamson for H&M launches today

By kelly on April 23rd, 2009

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock (or not keeping up with your Shiny Style reading!), you will know that today was D-Day aka The Day Matthew Williamson for H&M Was Launched To Much Frenzy. I don’t know if you managed to pop along to check it out for yourself, but I’ve been following The Cut’s tweets of the day’s events and it sounds like a wee bit of madness. Apparently, the floor-length silk dress was in demand, and we can betcha the peacock dress (as seen on Nicky Hilton, Katy Perry and Mischa Barton this afternoon in London) was a bit of a hit too. If you braved the crowds, what did you think of the collection and did you buy anything?

Lauren Conrad isn’t done yet with a new line for Kohl’s

By Kimberley Foster on April 22nd, 2009

laurenconrad_newkohlsline.jpgIt’s a bit of Lauren Conrad overload today, but we thought you’d still like to know those rumours that she would be resting her fashion label really weren’t a sign that she was giving up on design for good.

Why? Because the reality TV star has just announced a new collaboration with Kohl’s department stores.

Just a month after LC revealed she would be taking a hiatus from her upscale line, she has revealed that she will be launching a brand new range, called LC Lauren Conrad, for Kohl’s.

“It is a California chic line,” she said. “It is a little more casual. They are basically trying to take that California style and make it accessible everywhere.”

Gwyneth Paltrow does a spring clean – bid on her cast-offs on eBay!

By kelly on April 22nd, 2009

goop_auction.jpg

According to Gwyneth Paltrow and her GOOP crew, there’s nothing like a spring clean to truly cleanse the soul and declutter your life. We have to say we thoroughly agree with this sentiment (I may have even written this article just recently about the very same subject!)

But what makes this little ditty coming from Gwynnie even better, is the opportunity to purchase her cast-offs! Yes, the actress has put up everything from Balenciaga bracelets to Chanel handbags up on eBay, so now has never been a better time to get your fingers auction-ready at the keyboard.

Gallery: Stars of ‘The Hills’ attend PaleyFest ’09

By kelly on April 22nd, 2009

Since hitting our screens again in a BIG way for the 5th season, the cast of The Hills (plus ex-Hills-er and now City girl, Whitney Port) rocked up to PaleyFest ’09 in their best threads to participate in one of the panel discussions where the cast divulge all in a Q & A session.

Lauren Conrad looked very much the star, in her gorgeous mustard yellow frock, while Whitney stayed true to her chic boho style in an ivory floor-length tiered dress. Question playing on our minds: Where were Spencer and Heidi?

Kimberley Foster writes…

Yesterday it was all about that Emma Watson cover for Interview magazine. Today, the accompanying article has been uploaded online, and includes a link to a photo-shoot she recently did with Karl Lagerfeld.

The designer photographed the Harry Potter star for French mag, Crash, which was unveiled last month. On her new friendship with Lagerfeld, she tells Interview‘s Derek Blasberg:

“I’d met Karl a few times before, at parties or something where we really couldn’t talk. But this was a dream come true. We spent the whole day together, and he can talk about anything – literature, art, science, modern culture. I was totally seduced. I felt spoiled to be spending so much time with him.”
