Balmain's leather military jacket, $7,045, is hot. Hot in a way that could be styled vintage victorian or New York nightspot. Which is, of course, the very best kind of hot. Since it's sold out on Net-a-Porter, I like to imagine this designer treasure is going to be worn and loved. This is the type of piece that people who can afford to are splurging on amidst the recession.

In friendships you might not expect news, Gwyneth Paltrow showed her love for Beyonce and Jay-Z when she attended the stars' super-secret vows on April 4.

What did she wear? A Fall 2008 sample from the Proenza Schouler collection, shown at left. She carried a small clutch and donned ankle-strap heels with the bone silk gazar minidress.

"It was arranged last minute," a rep for the designer told People magazine. The rep maintains that Proenza Schouler had no idea that the dress was for Beyonce's wedding.

Kate Bosworth is the little fashion maven these days, isn't she? Arguably, this isn't exactly her most fabulous fashion moment, but wearing these heels from Chloé's Spring Summer '08 collection, you can't fault her for trying to do something different. (Oh, and check out her Chloé Saskia bag!)

The shoes might be a little out-there (and not to mention, beyond budget) for some, so here's some 'inspired-by' alternatives to achieve a similar look.

Product details after the jump.

Thandie Newton stepped out in style for the New York premiere of "Run, Fat Boy, Run" last week, as she has for the London and L.A. premieres (click links for pictures from those events). This time she wore a frock right off the runway.
