Salma Hayek’s one very lucky lady. The actress who is married to Francois-Henri Pinault, head of the PPR group which owns Gucci, Balenciaga and Yves Saint Laurent has been given the ultimate fashion privilege – to wear the first ever Gucci Couture dress.
We reported on rumours of the brand’s new venture back in January, but until now we’ve seen no concrete evidence. However it seems the company has been working behind the scenes with this one and one thing’sfor sure; now that Salma’s started the trend, celebrities will be out in this designer range too. But will they look as stunning as Salma? We’ll just have to wait and see.
While many of us would just be happy with one nice dress on a night out, celebrities and their bank balances can demand much more.
And Eva Longoria is just one example. The Desperate Housewives actress wowed us on the first night of the Cannes 2010 Film Festival opting for a white, bridal inspired frock to take her down the red ailse carpet.
However, it seems either the big frock got the best of her or she just wanted to show off as she was snapped at the Robin Hood after party in a gold metallic short dress.
Despite our bridal jibes we think she looked lovely in both frocks, but we’re leaning towards the gold one for our favourite.
Let us know which one you prefer by leaving your comments below.
The premiers of this year’s Cannes film festival are set to be huge in the fashion stakes going by some of the frocks A-listers pulled out for the first Cannes premier of Robin Hood yesterday.
However it’s not just the films some celebs got all dolled up for.
Kate Beckinsdale and Cate Blanchett turned up to the event looking stunning and wearing frocks similar to those seen at awards event, showing how big this fashion extravaganza is going to be.
Cate went for a white 50s white pencil skirt suit, while Kate went for an on-trend satin frock to make an entrance.
Who do you think looks better? Tell us by leaving your comments below.
It was the first day of of the 2010 Cannes festival yesterday and as we would expect stars turned out in their hundreds.
However unlike other premiers and awards events where A-listers dress up to the nines, this week long event takes a whole new different meaning on fab frocks.
At the Robin Hood premier, which took place at the event yesterday frocks were big and fabulous, and if we’re honest some really took our breath away. Kate Beckinsdale wowed in a blue frock while Kate Blanchett opted for black.
Take a look at our first Cannes 2010 gallery for the Robin Hood premier and tell us if you agree.

The fashion world can be tough especially if you’re a model or designer. Just a few months after we heard the sad news of Alexander McQueen‘s suicide, another famous face has attempted the same fate, although thankfully it didn’t prove to be fatal.
According to reports in the Daily Mail, Marks and Spencer model Noemie Lenoir was found unconscious after apparently trying to commit suicide in a wood outside Paris.
She was was found slumped on the floor in a forest in La Celle-Saint-Cloud, on the outskirts of the French capital after taking what is believed to be a potentially deadly cocktail of alcohol and drugs.
A source told The Daily Mail: “After coming to, Noemie was in a state of great distress and clearly very ill.
“She had clearly attempted to harm herself and had fallen unconscious.
“She was rushed to a nearby hospital and treated for the effects of poisoning. It seems that she may have tried to commit suicide as a cry for help. She’s now in a far better condition and recovering.”
Do you want to blend into surroundings in style or be a fashionable wallflower?
If the answer is yes then we’ve got a perfect solution for you.
Ted Baker has teamed up with interior designer, Nina Campbell and come up with an ingenious answer to the fashion/interior mix by recreating her Orchard Blossom print in a limited edition maxi dress, £249 and top £99 as well as a matching clutch bag and scarf.
We’re not sure what to make of this. The idea is very clever but is wearing a wallpaper print really a trend that will pick up? We suppose one good thing about this that you won’t need wallpaper paste, but you might end up blending in with the curtains.
Natalia Vodianova is no stranger to charitable events. She ran the French half marathon earlier this year to raise money for charity and also has her own initiative -the Naked Heart Foundation.
And now it seems she’s continuing the good work. The model has been announced as the new face of (Bugaboo)RED – a new Product(Red) initiative by the pram manufacturer, which aims to help raise funds and awareness for Aids victims.
She told Vogue: “HIV and Aids make children very vulnerable.
“The disease is a very smart enemy of the human race and the fact that children are born carrying this enemy makes me feel sick.”
The Bugaboo(Red) campaign has already covered the cost of providing medication to almost 18,000 pregnant women to reduce the risk of transmission of HIV from mother to child.
“These days, if you don’t take a socially responsible position, you’re out of the club.
“If you’re going to have a multi-million pound party, you should have a very good reason to do it, attach it to a charity; give back to the community.”

Love it or loathe it you can’t hide from the fact that the World Cup is upon us. We know we’re going to lose our other halves to beer, England and Brazil, but instead of sulking in the corner it may be time we actually thought about joining in.
Now we’re not talking about getting all lager loutish, more having a good look at players and using it as an excuse to get some new clothes.
Over the past few months highstreet chains such as Dorothy Perkins and Miss Selfridge as well as supermarkets such as Asda have gone World Cup crazy producing t-shirts with England logos.
However unlike the older styles from four years back, these World Cup gems have become alot less subtle, huge England flags sprawled along the front have given way to subtle England motifs on on-trend styles.
There’s probably not a fashionista on this earth who hasn’t heard of America’s
Next Top Model and that’s all thanks to clever lady and ex-model Tyra Banks.
The star who has launched the shows which now run across the world and has her own US talk show, has decided that she now wants to tell the world a little bit more about the modelling world. She has penned the first book in fantasy based trilogy, which she has creatively called Modelland.
The fantasy book is the story of a teen girl in a make-believe society who finds herself competing for a way of life that’s both hotly desired and woefully out of reach at an academy for Intoxibellas, the most exceptional models known to humankind. As the plot unfolds, readers will uncover lessons that are buried beneath the surface of this magical world.
Sounds interesting but we hardly think it’s going to be Twilight or chic lit worthy.
Lady Gaga fans you’re going to love this. Especially those of you who have always dreamed of asking the lady a question.
Ms G has just become the latest In Camera interviewee for SHOWSTUDIO.COM giving fashion and music fans the opportunity to put forward questions for the quirky singer to answer.
The Lady follows in the great footsteps of Alexander McQueen, and Kate Moss who have previously undertaken this role, and the conversation will take place on 30 May before her performance at the O2 and you can begin asking your questions from Friday 14 by signing up to www.showstudio.com.
Leave you comments in the box below and tell us what you’d like to ask Miss G.
If rumours are to be believed then unfortunately this could be the case.
According to sources the two co-stars have yet to sign the contract for Breaking Dawn, which looks set to be split into two films, following disputes over pay.
The Hollywood Reporter said the stars have reportedly branded current pay offers ‘offensive’ in comparison to the rest of the cast, and have refused to sign on the dotted line.
It’s said that because of this producers may cut out the characters out completely or bin one to show they won’t play pay ball. We hope it’s resolved soon.
Chanel model Vanessa Paradis, Diane Kruger and Georgia May Jagger all hit the trendy town of Saint Tropez for a game of boules.
The event was hosted by Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld, who had a hidden agenda for his fashion fun and that was of course to launch Chanel’s Cruise 2010 collection and his much-hyped short film, Remember Now.
The The 17-minute long film, directed by Lagerfeld stars Elisa Sednaoui, Heidi Mount, French actor Pascal Greggory and Abbey Lee Kershaw.
Will it be worth the hype? We think so.
View the trailer below and let us know what you think.
Oh dear it seems Lady Gaga has got her (loaned) knickers in a bit of a twist.
The singer borrowed a range of underwear prototypes from Rigby and Peller to use in her upcoming video. However, part of the collection has been lost in transit leaving the lingerie brand stuck as it needed the garments back for its press show.
Only three sets of the seven, sets which included skin-coloured basques with black contouring and matching high-waisted knickers, as well as sheer black lace bras and pants, made it back.
A representative for the brand, which also supplies the Queen, told The Metro: “Obviously we were delighted that Lady Gaga wanted to use our new pieces in her next video but we did stress we needed them back in plenty of time for our press show.
“They are all hand-made and unique designs that are simply priceless and are not available anywhere in the world so we are really disappointed not to get them back in time for our major showcase of the year.
“The last we heard the underwear was still ‘Awol’ and we are not sure when we will see them again. If we don’t get them back then it could hold up the whole production of our AW10 collection as they are the prototypes.”
We’re not ashamed to admit we’re slightly envious of celebrities. They get to don pretty dresses, get their make-up done and turn up to glamorous parties. However, it seems that they too can have one dress too many and what’s the best way to clear them out? Donate them to charity of course. This is something Brit actress and ShinyStyle favourite Carey Mulligan has decided to do.
The starlet is joining the likes of Elle Macpherson and Alexa Chung and donating the Vionnet frock that she wore this year to accept her Best Actress award, to Oxfam, to raise money for the charity’s women’s projects.
Carey told Vogue: “I’m honored to be able to donate my Bafta dress to support Oxfam’s work helping women living in extreme poverty across the world.”
The dress will have a starting bid of £50 and will be auctioned alongside other items from 10am onwards on Thursday 13 May.
Funds raised from the sale of the dress will go to Oxfam’s women’s projects across the world to support vulnerable women.
