Does Emma Watson ever stop working? Not only has she been endlessly promoting the next installment of Harry Potter, whipped up a beauty storm with her new cropped hairstyle and auditioned for the part of the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo but she’s also now pushing her range of ethnic clothing for People Tree.
The line is set to make its catwalk debut next month but instead of going down the London Fashion Week catwalk, Emma has decided to show off her SS2011 range at The Prince of Wales’ A Garden Party To Make A Difference.
The eco festival held in Prince Charles’ private gardens will play host to Watson’s ethical range on September 12. However, Emma’s busy schedule means she won’t be able to attend.
“I’m so thrilled that People Tree will be showing the spring/summer collection at A Garden Party To Make A Difference. I think The Prince of Wales’ initiative is such a brilliant idea and I’m thrilled,” she said.
We can’t wait to see the new togs Emma.

We may have been banging on about A/W 2010 fashions this week, but we haven’t forgotten about our S/S roots, and, it’s still technically the summer right?
So we couldn’t resist telling you about this cute frock from Very, which is perfect for that last minute holiday, for a night out, or if you really want to glam it up for a festival.
Not only does it give a huge nod to the asymmetric trend but also to the tribal print look, that’s still hot this summer. And if this wasn’t enough it also comes with a detachable black skinny belt, which forms a staple part of anyone’s wardrobe this season and into the next.
Team up with killer gladiator heels for a smart summer look or dress down with flats. However, a word of warning, this dress comes up teeny tiny so consider buying the next size up.

Georgia May Jagger may have been keeping her head down while she’s been studying for exams, but the model has now come back with a vengeance. The model has just been announced as the new face of Hudson Jean’s A/W2010 range.
Ben Taverniti, creative director at Hudson Jeans, told Vogue: “Georgia May is a true embodiment of the spirit of the Hudson brand.

Angelina has really blown us away with her selection of outfits for premiers and promotions of upcoming film Salt.
And there hasn’t been any of her trademark black dresses in sight.
Following on from her gorgeous floor skimming Amanda Wakeleyfrock in London earlier this week, Ange stepped onto the Paris red carpet in a knee length sparkly number by Pamella Roland which she teamed up with champagne satin Salvatore Ferragamo court shoes.
Similarly to the London premier she opted for, subtle make up however her Paris hairdo was an updo, rather than the loose wavy look she went for in London.

Charlotte Church vs Cheryl Cole, Lily Allen vs Lady Gaga and Cheryl Cole and Mischa Barton vs Amy Winehouse. If you haven’t already guessed, these of course are all high profile celebrity spats. Whether it’s criticism about singing, jibes about sex or concerns about drinking these fights have often escalated and taken a while to resolve between the two in question.
And the latest celebrity slating session comes from Gossip Girl and rocker Taylor Momsen who has decided to have a pop at Rihanna.
In a recent interview with Spin magazine where she was speaking about the improper use of the word “rock” the singer said: “People think pop is rock, and the lines are getting blurred. Now Rihanna’s wearing f—— leather jackets, and it’s really annoying.”
Come on Taylor, we know you weren’t always a rock chic, we’ve got the photos to prove it.

While Angelina Jolie pulled out all the stops in her Amanda Wakeley gorgeous gown in London for the premiere of her new film, Salt, Jennifer Aniston kept it short and sweet at the LA premiere of her new movie, The Switch.

But who do you think wore their dress best last night. Leave your comments below and let us know.

Angelina Jolie has been making a fashion entrance on each and every red carpet premier of her upcoming film Salt. And this didn’t end yesterday when she continued to wow the London crowds when she turned up to the UK premier of the film.
Looking perhaps a little bit too skinny, the actress opted for a £3,000 pink and silver Amanda Wakeley gown, with a thigh-high split that revealed her spindly legs and showed off her cute pale pink patent peep toe shoes.
However her light make-up and lightly waved hair more than made up for her slim figure, making her look radiant and showing us once again why she’s known as one of the most gorgeous women in the world.
Click here for a gallery of Angelina’s Salt outfits.

There’s been a lot of speculation surrounding the role of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. And it was only last week that we reported that Emma Watson had cut off her hair in a bid to secure the role over starlets such as Carey Mulligan and Kristen Stewart.
However, we had a bit of a shock this morning when we found out it went to neither of these lovely ladies. Instead, the coveted role has been awarded to newcomer Rooney Mara, who is probably best known for her role in the remake of Nightmare on Elm Street.
The relatively known actress will join Daniel Craig, who’s been cast as investigative journalist Mikael Blomkvist in the silver screen adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s bestselling book, which begins filming in Sweden next month and is set for release in December 2011.
Rooney may be unknown now but we give it two months before she becomes our new celeb du jour and the fact that she’s also signed up to the sequels makes us think she’ll become a huge star. Watch this space ladies.

It’s hardly been a year since fashion talent Alexander McQueen sadly passed away. And his legacy was lived through his final and great ready-to-wear show, where 16 outfits were displayed.
However, like with any great talent there’s always the feeling that there should have been more . And although nothing can erase that we’re really pleased to hear that there is one last dress in the fashion sphere that, according to Grazia, is thought to be the last piece that Alexander McQueen ever worked on.
The dress was created by Alexander for his long-term muse Annabelle Neilson who eventually wore it to Elton John’s White Tie & Tiara ball in June.
We think the bias-cut silver silk, gown is a perfect end to such a perfect collection and talented designer.

Lady Gaga’s eccentric fashion sense has inspired and attracted equally quirky Zandra Rhodes.
The Brit designer has told Vogue that she would love to dress the pop princess, saying: “I just love how she puts her own take on things – I could make her a transparent kaftan and she’d look fabulous.
“One could do something quite extraordinary with her.”
She also told the magazine how she would like to have the singer round to the studio for a fitting.
“If she did ever want me to design her something, I’d do what I did with Freddie Mercury and Queen – I’d just get her to come over and she could pick out the sort of thing she fancied and I’d work with that,” said Rhodes. “It’s all about seeing how something moves. She could try a few pieces on and we could go from there.”

We love the summer, butthere’s a tiny part of us that craves the autumn/winter season for the sheer amount of new fashion items we can add to our wardrobes.
Although it may seem a teeny tiny bit early to be buying autumn clothes, the highstreet has begun stocking must have items, which, if aren’t snapped up quickly won’t be around for when the nights get darker and the days colder.
One thing we urge you to buy as soon as your bank card allows are these cute fur lined boots from New Look, which give a nod to Burberry’s A/W 2010 collection and will keep you warm and on-trend throughout the winter months.

Dear God/force of aging, when we get to 52 please let us look as good as Madonna.
Yes, we know the pop queen Madonna has come under a lot of flak over the years for her obsession with fighting the signs aging and has had a sneaky face-lift but we take back all the criticism after seeing her look so amazing this weekend when she stepped out at Shoreditch House for her 52nd birthday.
Stepping out in a slinky silver satin frock Madge looked sophisticated, bang on A/W 2010 trend and less like a wannabe teenager, as many of her clothes in the past have suggested.
We think her stunning outfit, complete with great hair styling is a fantastic 52nd birthday look for the singer. Keep it up Madge.

It’s no secret that Lady Gaga has safe sex as a priority on her list, talking about it a number of times. However, the pop princess has now gone one step further on the sex topic telling American radio station AMP that sex with strangers is not for her.
In response to a question from host Carson Daly the Lady said: “I have weird superstitions about sex. If you’re not having sex with someone who really cares about you or who really loves you they can screw up your energy.”
Daly’s question comes after the pop star, famed for her elaborate outfits and dynamic stage show, appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair and admitted an unusual and unique fear to the magazine.
“I have this weird thing that if I sleep with someone they’re going to take my creativity from me through my vagina,” she told the magazine.
Ladies, we may applaud Ms G for her sensible approach to monogamy but we have to let you know, that someone you are sleeping with cannot steal your creativity in that way.

Earlier today we told you that Daniel Radcliffe was on the look out for a date. However, it seems we should be encouraging you to go after Twilight star Robert Pattinson (sorry Kristen).
According to Christina Ricci who is staring with R-Patz in upcoming film Bel Ami, Mr Pattinson is “an awesome kisser”.
And it seems she has a teeny tiny crush on the actor too (join the club Ms Ricci). She told E! Online.
“He is pretty much awesome.
“Working with Rob was amazing. He’s such a great guy, so talented. He’s just great. We’d just make fun of each other the whole time, like ‘oh my god we’re so goofy’ or ‘my accent is so bad!”
Although the American actress hasn’t seen any of the Twilight films that shot Mr Pattinson to fame, she did admit she knew exactly why he had such a huge female following in the vampire movie’s fans.
“I understand where they’re coming from. He’s an awesome human being. He’s so funny and quirky and weird.”
We don’t thnk Kristen should be worried. Christina may be beautiful, but it’s clear that R-Patz is smitten with his gorgeous Twilight girlfriend.

The Trilby has made a huge stand this season, appearing at festivals, on the beach and of course on the average day of shopping.
And it’s good news for those of you mad about hats because this little accessory is making its way straight into A/W season.
Trilbys were huge on the A/W catwalks with designers such as Vivienne Westwood showing these off, however, if you think you can get away with wearing the straw one from the summer then think again, because next season it’s all about tweed, heavy fabrics and accessories (think brooches).
This Trilby gem from Topshop is a great example of what you should be sporting, encompassing the winter must have colour, camel, and hinting at the 50s with a cute feather detailing. We think it’s a bargain at £25.
