All the supermodels have been out yesterday and today in the fashion capital of the UK – today Kate Moss launched her new fragrance, “Vintage Muse”, at the Oxford Circus branch of Boots’ looking very glamorous and effortless in a very skinny pair of skinny jeans, ribbed black top and ankle-breakingly high black suede heels. True to form as usual!
Meanwhile, supermodel mummies Elle McPherson and Claudia Schiffer were both spotted out yesterday in more affluent areas of London, having dropped off their children at school, looking very groomed and yummy. Elle opted for skin-tight leather trousers, while Claudia chose the softest-looking rose mohair sweater which made her look like a beautiful, cuddly porcelain doll. Both mummies wore obscenely big sunnies.
With British temperatures dropping to sub-zero, Bianca Jagger showed us how to wrap up warm fashionably this winter, wearing an oversized jacket with a fur collar and leopardprint gloves with a matching clutch. We have sneaking suspicions that the purse was from Mulberry. Lucky Bianca.
Last night, the fashion house Christian Dior held a private party at the swanky Claridge’s Hotel for its’ nearest and dearest – in attendance were Kelly Brook, Lily Cole and Tali Lennox. Kelly Brook seems to have completed the transition from lads’ pin-up to fully-fledged fashion darling, wearing an incredible cabaret-style dress made entirely out of black and grey feathers. Meanwhile, Lily Cole looked sleek and sultry with her poker-straight black hair (which we love) and an elegant maxi-dress in the same colour. Tali Lennox, daughter of iconic singer Annie Lennox, also looked quirky and cool in a classic British trench-coat and a fedora, fashion’s favourite hat this season.
And as usual, girl-about-town Fearne Cotton looked fresh and fashionable on her way out of the Radio 1 studios, wearing a cute black swing coat with matching opaque tights and ankle boots. This is the way to keep warm in the winter.

Following on from yesterday’s drooling over Kate Middleton’s stunning engagement ring, we’ve been thinking about the royal wedding dress – who can forget the dress, designed by the Emanuels, that Princess Di wore for her wedding? The puffs, the frills? The 1980s were a terrible time to let a pair of fashion designers get carried away with the most important wedding dress design of the decade. But we’ve moved on, fashion is infinitely better today and there’s a whole wealth of designers that may be stepping up to design Kate Middleton’s gown for her wedding next year. But who are they?
There’s a reckoning that couture veteran Bruce Oldfield could be in the running – with a portfolio of stunning gowns and a whole array of celebrity fans such as Jerry Hall and Princess Diana herself, perhaps our future Princess will decide to stick with traditional British grandeur for her walk down the aisle.
We’d all like to see Miss Middleton fly the fashion flag for Britain by tying the knot in a wedding dress by Alexander McQueen, but perhaps the much-loved designer’s bridalwear is a little too “out there” for the occasion – still, we can all dream. Similarly, it’s no secret that Kate loves Issa and the fashion house’s feminine, draped collections, but is it too informal for the big day?
Other designers who could be perfect for the job include much-loved Erdem, Valentino, Jenny Packham, Amanda Wakeley and British favourite Alice Temperley. Have a look at the gallery above for our favourite bridalwear from some of these designers, then vote for your favourite below.

The impending Royal Wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton is all everyone’s talking about at the moment – especially the ring that he proposed to her with. The ring in question is the same one that Princess Diana wore during her engagement to Prince Charles – a beautiful white-gold creation with a 12-carat sapphire inset. It really is quite something to behold, in an old Hollywood kind of way, and what with Miss Middleton swiftly becoming a British trendsetter, why not get your own piece of antique-looking jewellery? You don’t have to get engaged to wear one, either.
Classic, beautiful jewellery will always be in fashion – that’s why we’re strong advocates of the cocktail ring, a glamorous and classic way to add some sparkle to a simple outfit. Metallics and diamanté for the day, and deep tones of blue, red and purple for a vampy, festive look in the evening. Audrey Hepburn wore them, and so will we.
Check out the gallery above for our top 5 cocktail rings.
