Pictures – The British Fashion Awards: Victoria Beckham, Alexa Chung, Samantha Cameron and more
By Andrea Petrou on November 29th, 2011
Victoria Beckham not only won our best dressed award but was also recognised for her talent at the British fashion Awards.
The starlet who turned up in a long black frock, was awarded the Designer Brand award for her brand and the progress it has made.
Meanwhile Alexa Chung who turned up in a silver embellished round neck frock was awarded the British Style award for the second year running.
Kate Moss was also at the event dressed in a questionable mix between a string vest and fishntet type black frock, while Abbey Clancy also made a mistake in an ill fitting cream frock.
Rocking the black dresses were McQueen designer Sarah Burton and Samantha Cameron as well as Kate Hudson who went for a panelled frock.
See the gallery below for all the fashion from the night.

By Andrea Petrou on March 14th, 2011
Jennifer Lopez has been named as the new face of Tous Jewellery.
The ‘American Idol’ judge – who is well known for her love of diamonds and bling accessories – will front the line’s new adverts with a photo shoot by Ellen Von Unwerth, with the brand’s boss Salvador Tour claiming she was a great “illustration” for them.
He said: “Jennifer is not just an amazingly beautiful woman, but also a talented actress, musician and dancer sharing with us strong family values as we are a family owned business.
She is genuine and endlessly charismatic; a great illustration of our brand.”
Responding to her new job, Jennifer joked: “All girls love diamonds!”
The 41-year-old star takes over from Australian singer Kylie Minogue in the role as the face of the Spanish brand.
Speaking about the job previously, Kylie said she was “totally proud” to be involved with Tous.
She said: “I love jewellery and it’s wonderful to be able to have my pick of all these gorgeous designs. The pieces are fun, stylish and completely affordable. I’m totally proud to represent something beautiful and Spanish.”
Jennifer has been the face of a number of famous brands in the past including Venus razors and a campaign for Gucci with her three-year-old twins Max and Emme.

Natalie Portman feels like “a clown” in bold lipstick
By Andrea Petrou on March 10th, 2011
Natalie Portman feels like “a clown” in bold lipstick.
The ‘Black Swan’ actress – who is pregnant with her first child – is slowly agreeing to make-up artists’ requests for her to wear a more dramatic colour on her mouth, but still doesn’t feel entirely comfortable.
She said: “I feel like a clown if I put on strong lipstick, but recently I’ve experimented with reds. Make-up artists have been urging me to try stronger lips, but it still doesn’t feel like me. I’m working on it.”
The brunette beauty also relies on help doing her hair as she claims she doesn’t know how to stop it looking like a “triangle”.
She said: “When you see me, a professional has done my hair – I don’t know how to. As a family, we have very curly ‘Jewish’ hair, when it’s long, it comes out in a triangle.”
Natalie also revealed she developed an interest in perfume from her mother and believes it is important to include scent when “dressing up”.
The Oscar-winning beauty added to Britain’s InStyle magazine: “My mum taught me to spray fragrance and walk into it. She has a sensitive sense of smell, so I’ve grown up with a great awareness.
“A scent that sets you apart makes you feel glamorous and elegant and gives you a different way of walking into a room – it’s part of dressing up.”

Lady Gaga goes for three cool and kooky outfits at this year’s Grammys
By Andrea Petrou on February 1st, 2010
While many celebrities chose to turn up in a demure fashion for this years Grammys, we’re pleased to see Lady Gaga chose not to.
And the kooky singer known for her outrageous outfits definitely did not disappoint, sporting three different outfits all designed by Giorgio Armani on the night.
She arrived at the event in a purple futuristic take on what we can only describe as a prom dress, complete with a star like staff and 70s style platform shoes. We don’t know what it is about this dress, but we have to admit we love everything about it, from the many glittery bands that shape the dress to the sheer sparkly sleeves.
While performing at the event Miss G decided to go back to her trademark style,sporting a huge 80s style sleeved jumpsuit, which didn’t leave too much to the imagination. She completed the look with her famous fierce eye make up.
However we think Lady G saved her best outrageous outfit until last. She posed in a silver mini sequined dress complete with a nod to the futuristic trend and what can only be described as a comic book style hat, while showing off her two Grammys in the press room.
And unlike other designers who have in the past been rumoured not to work with Miss Gaga, Mr Armani seemed thrilled to be selected.
He said in a statement: “We hear Lady Gaga’s music everywhere we go. It is like a soundtrack of our times. In addition to her formidable songwriting skills, she is a modern fashion phenomenon. I am delighted to be creating these outfits on such an important night for her, the Grammys, and I wish her the best of luck.”
