Mad Men star Christina Hendricks showed off her killer curves in a classic Hollywood silver silk gown with beautiful crystal detailing
Fashion Week may be over for the Yanks, with the fun having crossed over the pond to Laaahn-dahn, but that doesn’t mean that there’s nothing going on in the States, oh no – in fact, while we were all poring over the latest Henry Holland collection on the Vogue site last night, apparently a little something called the Emmy Awards was going on..
All the long-standing Hollywood superstars were there as well as the young talent: I don’t know if Lea Michele was trying to copy Kate Winslet, who’s clearly been in the red-carpet game for a long time, or what, but the young Glee actress turned up smouldering in a simple scarlet evening dress that was actually very similar to Kate’s Emmy dress. We hope they hit each other with their handbags later in the evening.
Another Glee star in attendance was the adorable Jayma Mays, who was definitely channelling a ballerina vibe in her long ruffled and tiered sugar-pink gown which worked perfectly with her strawberry-blonde hair and berry lips. Following suit with a romantic, feminine look was Heidi Klum with her hubby Seal, showing off a crazy post-summer tan in a statement ruffled nude cocktail dress.
Opting for a more classic Hollywood vibe (it is the Emmys, after all) was the beautiful Christina Hendricks, who, fresh from causing a stir with her impressive cleavage at the première of I Don’t Know How She Does It last week, smouldered last night in an incredible slit-skirt silver evening gown covered in crystalline embellishments for a look reminiscent of old movie stars like Jean Harlow. We love. To be honest, we’re so obsessed with the woman that we might go dye our hair red and eat a tub of Ben & Jerry’s right now.
Also taking the old Hollywood fashion path was Gwyneth Paltrow, who showed off her enviably tight abs in a floor-sweeping black beaded dress with a cutout at the midriff. Pretty much all we need to say about that is that Gwynnie looked in-cred-i-ble.
To see who we spotted at the Emmy Awards yesterday, and what the stars were wearing, check out the gallery above.

Elizabeth Olsen has revealed that her two biggest style inspirations are the actresses Diane Keaton and Katharine Hepburn.
Elizabeth, who is the younger sister of the famous Olsen twins, has recently been popping up on our style radar in a mixture of vintage-style maxis and European fashion. But it’s not her older sisters that she looks to for inspiration – it’s the icons of the silver screen.
She said: “I always love Diane Keaton and Katherine Hepburn. [Mary-Kate and Ashley always tell me] to always feel comfortable. Their advice is just like, kind of focus on your work and not let anything else come between you and what you want to do and who you are. We don’t actually talk about work much, but they’re just great people and supportive and inspiring and creative.”
For those who don’t know, Katharine Hepburn commandeered masculine dressing in her era and was one of the first women to publicly wear trousers as a fashion statement, while Diane Keaton is famous for her bohemian role as Woody Allen’s love in Annie Hall. Elizabeth has good taste.

Kate (far right) shines at the Costume Institute Gala in New York alongside Liv Tyler, Stella McCartney and Kate Hudson. We absolutely adore her peekaboo black gown
In light of Kate Bosworth’s newly-revealed rule of only wearing creations by fashion designers with good manners, we thought we’d have a look over the actress’ recent style file. One thing we can say about her is that she always looks fashion-perfect right down to the tippy-toes, whether she’s in a cool Jil Sander maxi skirt or a Lanvin evening gown for the red carpet.
What we like about Kate is that she is a girl who doesn’t shy away from colour – and she shouldn’t, with her ice-blonde 1940s hair and peachy colouring, this is one girl who was born to experiment with her look. We particularly love Kate in a cool peppermint-green Jil Sander skirt with a classic white T-shirt to contrast against hot pink lipstick, or Kate in a delicate white lace Erdem dress with splashes of vibrant, hot red.
This is one woman who was born to wear high fashion. Miss Bosworth – ShinyStyle salutes you.

The celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe has admitted that she’s “terrified” about the debut of her new fashion line, which will be shown in the upcoming New York Fashion Week. Yay, super-stylists get nervous too!
Rachel, who’s famous in the past for weaving fashion magic over Hollywood’s elite, told the fashion site FabSugar: “Nervous, excited, petrified, anxious, terrified . Did I mention terrified? I’m terrified.” Well, if her taste in clothes is anything to go by then the designs will be good – then again, you never can tell til you see it on the runway..
Despite her trepidation, Rachel Zoe is also excited about her new project, having recently compared finishing a collection to “giving birth”. “Being a designer was the thing that I always said, ‘I’m never going to do this, because I’m too scared to do this’. All of sudden during my presentation this season, I was like ‘Oh my god, why am I doing this, I’m too scared to do this. Then it was like, it was almost like giving birth. When it was over, I was like, ‘This is the most exciting, most challenging adventure. This is new, and this is fun.’ ” We can’t wait to see what she comes up with.

Supermodel Cindy Crawford went for a scorching European look in bright scarlet
Mamma mia, the Venice International Film Festival is upon us once more, and the stars certainly pulled out all the stops for this big red-carpet event.
Top style snaps have to go to Thirteen Evan Rachel Wood for completely stealing the show in a long white shirt-gown with Giuseppe Zanotti shoes and Bulgari jewellery. Pure Italian glamour all the way – this is one girl that knows how to dress up, and dress up well. We also loved her hair. While in the past the beautiful actress has opted for long, sculptured 40s waves, for the Film Festival she went for a short, sleek crop slicked back in a masculine ‘do.
Diane Kruger refused to be outshone by Evan, however, and looked like a fairytale in a sparkle-encrusted Elie Saab gown with silver peep-toes and loose, girlish wavy hair. Diane never fails to dazzle us with her red carpet style. Another winner was the actress Marisa Tomei, whose elegant draped mustard dress earned her some serious fashion respect from us.
Representing the models of the glitterati was everyone’s favourite supermodel, Cindy Crawford, showing us that she’s still got it even if the 90s are over in a one-shouldered scarlet Roberto Cavalli evening gown and effortlessly teased hair. Meanwhile, Bianca Brandolini looked sexy in a long-sleeved leopard print gown with a ruffled hem and caramel-coloured hair.
Providing arm candy for the girls’ press pictures was the lovely Mr George Clooney, who looked all twinkly and foxy in a lovely classic tuxedo with his silvery hair slicked back. George, you don’t get older, you just get better.
Check out who we spotted at the Venice Film Festival in the gallery.

In fifth place: Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart
Forbes have just released a “who’s who” rich list of the wealthiest celebrity couples in the world – and we have to say we weren’t surprised to find out that the supermodel Gisele and her husband Tom Brady are the richest couple in the world. Gisele, who’s already on record as the highest-earning supermodel in the world, earned an impressive £27million last year while her footballer hubby earned £18million, giving them a total amount of £46million. Blimey.
Coming up in second place was the gorgeous Beyonce with her rapper hubby Jay-Z. The rapper made £22million from his music while Miss Sascha Fierce made about £21million through fashion and music, meaning that the couple together made about £43million last year.
Of course no rich couple list would be complete without Hollywood’s most beautiful couple, Brad and Angelina, who as a couple made £30million from Hollywood roles. (Angelina earned more than Brad, as she raked in £18million to trump his £12million. GIRL POWER.)
Naturally David and Victoria Beckham also made it onto the top 5 in fourth place. David was the big earner, thanks to all of his deals with sportswear companies, bringing in £24million while Victoria’s fashion label brought in about £3million independently.
And last, coming in at fifth place, surprisingly, was Robert Pattinson with his surly Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart. Both of the stars each earned £12million from the wildly popular vampire series.

Kim Kardashian’s lavish wedding party on Saturday had to be cut short because of complaints from the neighbours.
The party was supposed to go on until 4AM, but a pesky old fire marshal turned up at midnight and ordered the music to be stopped following phone calls of complaints from those who lived nearby.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: “Around midnight DJ Cassidy, who had been spinning for an hour, was ordered to shut down because the neighbours were complaining about the volume of the music. The neighbours didn’t come over, but they called the police. Kim took the news OK and seemed relaxed about it, but her sister Khloe was pretty upset.”
Besides the inconvenient early closing of the party, the wedding was apparently a great success. Ryan Seacrest tweeted after the celebrations: “Beautiful … Kim looked regal, a perfect night. I just danced w the whole family. (sic)”.
The celebrity guests included Avril Lavigne, Lindsay Lohan, Eva Longoria and Demi Lovato. Meanwhile, the newly wed Kim was spotted on Sunday morning coming out of her hotel with her new hubby wearing a new Juicy Couture tracksuit with the words “Mrs Humphries” on the front. Well, we suppose it’s one way of letting the world know.

The sultry Friends With Benefits actress Mila Kunis thinks she’s “not good” at being sexy. Really?
Mila, who has admitted to not understanding her new sex-symbol status, however puts as much effort as possible into her sex scenes because she hates unconvincing performances.
She said: “I’m not good at sexy. But there are so many women on the big screen who are so false you just don’t buy it. There’s nothing about them that you believe. It feels so put on. You can feel them mugging for the camera. It’s like their face is raping me, so I know I don’t want to do that.”
I think any bloke who’s seen her girlie scene with Natalie Portman in Black Swan would beg to differ about her apparent lack of sexiness. Still, it’s nice to see a star who’s a little more down to earth, no? We’re looking forward to the new movie.

Anne Hathaway is on an incredibly strict diet and exercise plan for her role as Catwoman in the upcoming Batman film, “The Dark Knight Rises”.
Anne, who’s a devoted vegetarian, is mainly living on a special kind of cabbage in preparation for the scenes where she has to wear Catwoman’s iconic skin-tight Catsuit. Anne told Chelsea Handler on the ‘Chelsea Lately’ show, “I’m a vegetarian and right now, I’m living on kale and dust for the training. That catsuit’s unforgiving, man!” Poor girl..
The actress revealed that the strict training she’s gone through for the film has finally made her enjoy exercise.
Anne said: “Last time I was here we talked about how much I really don’t like working out. I really like it now. I know, that’s like, ugh… that person. Like, I came to LA, got a bikini wax, went blond and love working out. There’s a workout hump where you’re so weak that you hate everything and everything’s painful, and you look like an idiot. Like, the gym that I work out at, I was literally working out next to a pregnant Jessica Alba, and she could do more pushups than I could!” It’s never good to be upstaged like a pregnant lady, although Jessica Alba probably has muscles like Popeye.
Good luck with your dust diet, Anne- hopefully filming won’t last much longer and you can have a big old pizza.

When we were browsing the paparazzi photos for the première of “Our Idiot Brother”, we were particularly taken with Zooey Deschanel’s unusual red carpet dress. The actress had chosen to wear an unusual black pencil dress with white ruffles and frills – it could look awful on the wrong person, but with Zooey’s milky pale skin, blue eyes and dark hair it looked perfect. We’d completely forgotten that we love Zooey!
She’s been off our radar until the last couple of months, but over the summer she’s been popping up here and there at various glam press parties. We love her sweet, girlish signature style of folk dresses, 50s silhouettes and babydoll shapes – she’s never one to go full-out glamour at a red carpet event, opting instead for understated vintage pieces. Our kind of girl.
Check out the gallery above for our favourite Zooey fashion highlights.

At the CFDA Fashion Awards Jessica wore a bump-skimming maxi dress in lilac and peach. We're obsessed with this maxi - answers on a postcard for where we can find it, please
Earlier today we reported that one of our favourite celebrity mummas, Jessica Alba, had finally given birth to her second daughter – congrats to her etc etc – and in tribute to one of our most beautiful and stylish heroes, we’re taking a look over her mum-to-be style over the past few months.
Jessica has taken on the challenge of fashionably dressing a bump with determination, and we think she totally succeeded. Pregnant ladies, take note of how the actress teamed floaty, comfortable maxi dresses with costume jewellery and hippy-inspired hair for a beautifully effortless look. We particularly loved her outfit at the 2011 Costume Institute Benefit Gala (a place where we can imagine baby bumps aren’t exactly en vogue), where she teamed a gorgeous floor-skimming silver chiffon gown with romantic, soft hair for a look that was pure Midsummer Night’s Dream.
We’ve put together a gallery of Jessica’s best maternity outfits, which you can see above. The best dressed mum in Hollywood? Oh, we think so.

Chloe Moretz suddenly looks extremely grown-up in this rainbow and lace tea dress - we love her new ice-blonde hair too
We couldn’t quite believe our eyes when we were browsing the latest showbiz photos and came across a picture of the young Kick-Ass actress Chloe Moretz, at a photocall in London, looking suddenly incredibly grown-up and sophisticated in a rainbow abstract-printed dress with a teased Bardot updo and simple black sandal heels. When did this actress become so on-trend? We’re keeping a definite eye out for this girl from now on.
Also spotted in London was our favourite X Factor singer Alexandra Burke, who was at a promotional event for the new season of the show, looking sassy and girlish in a navy-blue day dress with seventies-style brown heels and stacked bangles. We love that she contrasted the dark blue of her dress with electric blue nail varnish – it’s all about the little details, as Alexandra knows.
Meanwhile, in Hollywood it was the 2011 Do Something Awards, and we spotted a few famous faces in attendance. Our favourite Charmed actress Rose McGowan, who’s always been famous for her sex appeal, showed off her classic hourglass figure in an incredibly tight wiggle dress in an on-trend star print. The dress teamed with vintage curls and old-Hollywood makeup gave the look a pin-up feel. Kim Kardashian was also there (she’s EVERYWHERE at the moment) showing off her dynamic curves in a very elegant and sleek silvery-blue gown, cinched in at the waist with a metal belt.
The Forgetting Sarah Marshall star Kristin Bell looked cool in an edgy one-shouldered black and silver dress with chain details, with was softened by girly waved hair and heels, while Demi Lovato opted for a simple white corset dress with peep-toe heels.
The bad outfit of the day award goes to Tyra Banks, who was wearing an eye-wateringly bad ensemble of bright pink, green and blue all shoved into one horrible jumpsuit. Basically, Tyra my love, leave colour-blocking to the experts. You look mental.

The Slumdog Millionaire beauty Freida Pinto says she is incredibly grateful for the fashion house Chanel’s support early on in her career.
The iconic fashion house was the first to lend her couture and pieces from their current collections for her red-carpet appearances, even when she was just a little-known actress beginning her career.
Freida said: “I tell you why I like Chanel so much; when I started off, no one wanted to give me clothes to wear. Absolutely no one. All the labels said, ‘Who is she?’ Modelling was not completely satisfying. But Chanel believed in me from the very beginning. For the very first red carpet I did at the Toronto Film Festival in 2008, they dressed me up in their very current season collection. It’s a massive brand, why would they invest in someone who is nobody?”
Lucky Freida has since struck up a friendship with Chanel’s director, Karl Lagerfeld, who has had a big influence over her dress sense. She said: “I always have a good time with Karl because he’s so appreciative and wants me to try different things.”
We wish Chanel would believe in us.. go on Karl, lend us some dresses.

Bless the little thing – Katie Holmes has said that she glams up far more when she’s coming over here to Europe.
The 32-year-old actress doesn’t like the idea of feeling out of place in the clothes that you’re wearing, so she makes an extra effort to dress according to which city or country she’s in.
The “Kennedys” star says she’s a huge fan of European fashion and lists MaxMara and Isobel Marant as two favourites of hers.
Katie said: “I like dressing to suit the places I travel to. So if I’m in New York, I’ll wear a little more black. In Europe I try to be extra dressed up and in LA I’m probably my most laid back. I lie to fit in.”
That’s quite sweet, actually. Thanks for making such an effort for us Europeans!

Poor little Joe Jonas must be getting a bit hot under the collar, as it seems that naughty old Rihanna has been teasing the squeaky-clean singer with suggestive texts.
Rumours are saying that Rihanna’s been giggling over the idea of deflowering Joe since first meeting him when he collaborated with her ex Chris Brown. A source revealed: “They met when Joe did a song with Rihanna’s ex Chris Brown and recently she’s been bombarding him with raunchy text messages. She keeps laughing to her mates that she wants to take him one the wildest ride of his life.”
We can’t say we’re surprised at Ri-Ri, as it seems the “S&M” singer has had little else besides sex on her mind lately. Parents who took their children to her latest “Loud” tour were outraged by its sexually suggestive dance routines and skimpy outfits.
Joe Jonas has dated plenty of Disney tweens in the past, such as Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato, but I’ve got a funny feeling that Rihanna might be more of a handful. She’ll eat him alive!
