The nominees of this year’s CFDA Awards have shown off their designs in the latest CFDA Journal. Instead of using models, Marc Jacobs, Jason Wu, Alexander Wang and the rest of the nominees have modelled their own creations as part of Diane von Furstenberg’s push to celebrate their work. I particularly like Marc sporting a pair of rabbit ears he designed for Louis Vuitton, and which have been made famous by Madonna at this year’s Met Gala.

Much excitement at the MTV Movie Awards last night, with a bewinged Sacha Baron Cohen landing on Eminem’s lap causing an almighty furore from the rapper and his entourage. In the more genteel world of fashion there were plenty of well-dressed stars at the bash.

Rumer Willis
sported an appliqué-ed green frock which complemented her hair, and Hills star Audrina Partridge wore a shimmering coral gown. Sienna Miller combined the two, in a green sparkling outfit from her Twenty8Twelve label. Cameron Diaz, although casually dressed, looked stunning in a leopard print top, jeans and violet boots.

Has Rihanna missed her Vogue opportunity?

By Kimberley Foster on June 1st, 2009

Jingle Ball Rihanna.jpgIt seems that Rihanna cover for Vogue is in jeopardy in the aftermath of those nude photos of her and Chris Brown that were recently leaked onto the internet.

The singing superstar was approached by Anna Wintour to star in an upcoming issue of the glossy mag. They were reportedly “thick as thieves” at the Met Costume Gala last month.

“Anna told her Vogue absolutely loves her and really wanted to work with her. Rihanna was ecstatic,” a source told Star magazine.

However, it is now believed that the editrix has retracted her offer in response to the photos that were allegedly taken by Brown, although he denies it.

“Anna hasn’t returned any of her calls. Rihanna’s so upset… She hopes the people at Vogue change their minds,” the source added.

And so their turbulent relationship has cost Rihanna again. Shame!
