With it being both the fashion season and the film festival season at the moment, it’s a pretty good time for sneaking peeks at celebs’ best red carpet and party outfits. Today we weren’t let down at all by what we found.

Keira Knightley was spotted at the Toronto International Film Festival looking absolutely amazing in a nude lace crystal dress, with a sleek dark bob and angelic make up. We think that’s an Elie Saab dress that she’s wearing, lucky girl, but we could be wrong.. This is definitely a look that really works for her – we’re glad she sticks to it. We also spotted Emily Blunt looking quite foxy in a halter-necked black jumpsuit which looked cool with her laidback wavy hair and smoky eyes.

Meanwhile as New York Fashion Week continues, we spotted the Charmed actress Rose McGowan looking extremely sultry in an amazing magenta structured cocktail dress which matched the colour of her lipstick. This is one actress we never thought would come zooming back into our style radar, but we’re often surprised.. Meanwhile, the statuesque Heidi Klum towered over Christian Siriano backstage in a clinging back dress with a sheer chiffon skirt.

The Worst Dressed In The World EVER Award goes to Kelly Osbourne, who rocked up to Fashion’s Night Out in Chicago wearing a red rubber T-shirt. I don’t think I need to say any more than that.

To see who we’ve been spotting, check out the gallery above.

New York Fashion Week: Christian Siriano S/S 2012

Christian Siriano Spring/Summer 2012

My crush on Christian Siriano might just be getting serious now – in fact I think it might be love thanks to his new Spring 2012 collection which totally and utterly blew me away. He may have started out as a reality TV diva in Project Runway but now there can’t be any dispute over Siriano’s talents. He really is incredibly creative and gifted.

Those familiar with Christian’s designs know that most of all he likes to work in an incredibly dramatic avant-garde vein of design which is to me is reminiscent of classic, old Paris couture from the 1950s. Anyone who was hoping for another spectacular, fantastical collection won’t be disappointed by this one.

There was a lot more use of bright colours in this collection, surprisingly, as normally Siriano works with a darkly glamorous palette of gloomy colours, but this season the dresses zinged in bright lime, coral and peach. He seems to have found his way more as well in his use of silhouette – in place of his usual explosions of chiffon-balls and giant shoulders we instead had cool, breezy sportswear styles that were reminiscent of the work of other great American designers.

Naturally no Siriano collection would be complete without his ridiculous old-school couture gowns, though – I was especially breathtaken by his hot coral-red ball gown which seemed to sweep along the model’s body in dreamy, fluffy chiffon whisps.

J’adore Christian. He has a little way to go before he is perfect – but he’s damn close right now.

It looks like the television stars were told to arrive at the Screen Actor’s Guild awards early, so we’re still waiting for a lot of the big movie nominees to step out of their limos. So here’s what a lot of TV’s loveliest ladies are wearing and a few movie stars too!

Jennifer Morrison (nominee, ensemble drama cast for House) – Ann Valerie Hash
Katrina Bowden (nominee, ensemble comedy cast for 30 Rock) – Christian Siriano – what up Project Runway!
Melissa Leo (nominee, female lead actor for Frozen River) – vintage/Bulgari/Judith Leiber
Holly Hunter (nominee, female actor drama for Saving Grace) – Reem Acra
Jane Krakowski - (nominee, ensemble comedy cast for 30 Rock) – Roberto Cavalli – which she knows because she was texting “her people” as she arrived and the cameras caught her!
Emily Blunt (presenter) – beautiful slinky silver number which the E! hosts failed to ask her to identify, we’re working on it! But she did mention that it was like full body Spanx.
America Ferrera (female actor comedy for Ugly Betty) – Vera Wang

Will Marie Claire form a partnership with Project Runway next?

By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on May 6th, 2008

Marie Claire.jpg

Project Runway’s 5th season is its last on the Bravo Network before it moves to Lifetime, and perhaps its last with Elle Magazine as a partner.

Sources say that Marie Claire has expressed interest in working with the show, which would work out especially well given that the magazine is owned by Hearst Magazines, the parent company of which also owns Lifetime.

“We think ‘Project Runway’ is a fantastic show, but to speculate at this point beyond season five would be, as [season four winner] Christian Siriano says, ‘A hot mess!’” a Marie Claire spokesperson commented to WWD.

New York Fashion Week: Victorya Hong’s show/Project Runway reunion

By Andrea Thatcher on February 1st, 2008

Victorya%20collage%202.jpg (Click image to enlarge. Left to right, top to bottom: Two looks from the runway show, Victorya Hong and Christian Siriano, from this season of Project Runway, Jack Mackenroth, also from this season, Victorya, and stylist David Evangelista, Christian and Elisa Jimenez, also from this season, a makeup artist backstage, and Jay McCarroll, legendary winner of season one.)

All the antics from Project Runway contestants past and present captured here make me wish I hadn’t had to hightail it back to Bryant Park for one more show at the close of Victorya Hong’s presentation. But I stayed focused then, and that’s what I’ll do here – on to the fashion!

After flipping through Victorya’s past designs on Project Runway, I realized two things. It’s incredible that she lasted as long as she did, and tonight’s runway show was leaps and bounds beyond anything she ever showed the PR judges. The construnction, and particularly the fit, were much more sophisticated on Victorya’s runway. Clearly she is not the sort of designer that is inspired by wacky challenges and incredible time constraints, she spreads her wings when she has time and a clear vision.
