Straight off the runway: Lucy Liu

Charlie's Angel actress, Lucy Liu channeled the ultimate lady in red as she arrived at the premiere of Kung Fu Panda at the Vue Cinema in Leicester Square on Thursday in London, England. A random fact, the animated comedy has already grossed over $155 million domestically and continues to fill theater seats. Lucy Liu is the voice of plays the voice of a snake, Viper who is a part of the animal fighting squad. Liu donned an absolutely stunning rich red modified Giambattista Valli dress from the designers Fall 2008. How beautiful is the dress??! I am loving the sculpted silhouette and Lucy looks stunning in, her hair and make up is perfect. I prefer the shortened version much more than the runway as well.

Straight off the runway: Claudia Schiffer

The supermodel made her social rounds this week, and of course she did it in style.



Looking lovely in a modified Chanel gown from the Spring 2008 collection. Here Schiffer attended the Vogue Magazine 20th anniversary party, at the Santo Mauro Hotel on Wednesday in Madrid, Spain.



Looking chic and elegant in Louis Vuitton as she arrives to the Louis Vuitton & Richard Prince dinner at The Serpentine Gallery on Tuesday in London, England. I love this look, timeless and effortless. Schiffer looks stunning!



Schiffer wore the same dress but in different colours to two different events. In the navy Versace one shouldered dress, Schiffer attended the Calleija Jeweller Launch Old Bond Street also on Tuesday before the Louis Vuitton event. Two days earlier Schiffer donned the same dress in a beautiful dust pink colour to the Uomo Vogue 40th Anniversary Celebration Party as part of Milan Fashion Week Menswear in Milan, Italy. Both dresses look stunning, i love the navy dress with the brooch but the dusty pink is gorgogeous. Which one of Schiffer's Versace dress do you prefer?

Straight off the runway: 2008 BET Awards

Rihanna is a vision in citron yellow as she swirls her gorgeous Giambattista Valli ruffled detail gown on the arrival tothe event. She looks absolutely stunning! I love the whole look and i can't get over how good she looks in that beautiful gown!



Keys opted for an unusual Pollini dress from the 2008 fall collection. While i approve of the unique choice of dress, the hair is horrible. With it's unusual metal embellishment, Keys should have opted for perhaps a sleek hair do or bun. I do think however, she wears the dress better than the runway model.



Ashanti does some leg action in her heavily embellished Marchesa gown. Molly Sims also wore this gown a while back and i must say, Ashanti wears it better. Hey hair is unusually done up..but i like it =]

On set: Gossip Girl

I gasped when i saw these shots of Leighton Meester a.k.a Blair Waldof on her cute vintage bicycle. You can't really see, but her bike is actually floral printed to matches her beautiful button up halter dress. The Queen B looked like she stepped out of a 50's fashion magazine, donning a garden printed Alice + Olivia part dress. Meester was accessorised with a pair of floral flats, Kate Spade straw handbag and blue headband. I really love love love this outfit on Meester, however i do wonder if i would ever have the guts to wear the outfit my self!

The lovely Mr. Zac Posen and his beautiful creations have graced the red carpets three times, by different celebrities of course, in two days. Demi Moore, Naomi Watts and Anne Hathaway all opted for a piece from the talented designer for their social events. Moore and Watts both attended the launch of Trump International Hotel and Tower Dubai. Moore's stunning electric blue dress is custom made where Naomi's has a lot more edge and is from the Fall 2008 collection. Anne Hathaway wore her red Zac Posen dress to the Australian premiere of 'Get Smart',not digging the hair do though, but the dress is lovely. All of the ladies look beautiful, but whose Zac Posen dress do u prefer?

Topshop does Balenciaga

For those of you who oohhed and ahhed when spotting some killer Balenciaga booties on the likes of Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan, the oohing and aahing stops here. Topshop (about time) have done an "inspired" sandal on the shoes from Balenciaga's Spring 2008 collection. I'm suprised they made a sandal instead of a boot. Perhaps it's more wearable? If you're interested, they are priced at 35 pounds ($69.0690 USD) which seems pretty appealing as the orignal Balenciga ankle boot is is valued at $1500. Will you be buying a pair of Topshop's new sandals?
