What To Expect When You’re Expecting Fashion Frock-Off!
The stars of What To Expect When You’re Expecting hit Hollywood for the premiere last night, and the seriously cool cast looked amazing in their varying different styles. We don’t know about you, but we wouldn't want to have to go up against these ladies on the red carpet!
First up is Jennifer Lopez, who wore a long Maria Lucia Hohan nude dress with Sergio Rossi crystallised boots and berry lips. Only J-Lo can get away with necklines this low and still manage to look demure!
Brooklyn Decker also opted for full length in a Giambattista Valli spring 2012, drop-waisted maxi dress in a popping lemon print. The bright yellow looked super-summery and beachy – Hollywood must be having better weather than we are!
Twilight star Anna Kendrick chose a short Elie Saab spring 2012 couture dress for the occasion, teamed with Louboutin spiked ‘Unbout Illusion’ heels – the celeb must-have shoe of the season. Cameron Diaz also showed off her enviable pins in a black Valentino frock with a bow detail . Nice work, ladies!
With Elizabeth Banks, Chace Crawford, Glee’s Matthew Morrison and comedian Chris Rock all part of the cast, this is one film we can’t wait to see! RS

Beyonce Causes A Photographer Frenzy At The Met Ball!
Beyonce stole the limelight at The Costume Institute Gala at New York's Metropolitan Museum! The star wore a dramatic (and daringly sheer) gown by Givenchy - we'd hate to see her dry cleaning bill! Whilst Beyonce went theatrical with her dress choice, Carey Mulligan went disco ball glam in a sequined Prada dress - we love her rock chick hair 'do - check out our french pleat Friday Night Hair video to get the look!
Amy Adams worked the monochrome trend as seen at Emporio Armani with an assymetrical gown by Giambattista Valli, top marks for tapping into the metallic trend with shimmery accessories. That glossy do is almost more shiny than Carey's dress! Also at the event were Scarlett Johansson, Camilla Belle, Jessica Alba, Cameron Diaz, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Karolina Kurkova. We bet the red carpet was almost thread bare with these star studded arrivals! HE

Tribeca Print Pro’s: Emma Watson and Michelle Williams
Dakota Fanning and Leelee Sobieski may have set the Tribeca Film Festival style standard on opening night, but Michelle Williams and Emma Watson proved they were more than up to the outfit challenge this weekend. The duo stole the red carpet limelight with their cool, printed ensembles – forget glamour gowns, offbeat is the order of the day at Tribeca.
For the Struck By Lightening premiere, Emma amped up her edgy credentials in head-to-toe clashing print Miu Miu and slicked back locks, while leading lady Michelle opted for an eclectic Giambattista Valli frock at the premiere of her latest film Take This Waltz. As much as we love swooning over OTT Oscar worthy couture creations, it’s nice to see some A-list red carpet looks we can at least attempt to copy come the weekend. Good work girls! GG

The Oscars 2012: Best Dressed
The A-list called in the fashion big guns at last night’s Oscars and it was the hottest event on the Hollywood calendar, as always. The red carpet was awash with couture creations from Lanvin to Tom Ford, with the reigning trends being black, white and the occasional flash of red. Silver screen idol Meryl Streep was the star of the night, taking home her third Best Actress award for her role as Margaret Thatcher in the Iron Lady. Meryl gave her younger red carpet competitors a serious run for their money in the gown stakes too, dazzling in a draped gold Lanvin dress, teamed with matching Salvatore Ferragamo heels – a tribute to the former Prime Minister’s favourite footwear designer.
Angelina Jolie played it safe but super sexy in a gown from her go-to label Atelier Versace. The actress accessorised the black velvet floor-sweeper with a red pout and a whole lot of leg. Been stealing posing tips from Victoria Beckham, Ange? Michelle Williams may have lost out on the Best Actress gong, but she’s topped the red carpet style charts in a coral peplum-waisted Louis Vuitton number, teamed with a clashing pink clutch. Gwyneth Paltrow led the white dress pack in a striking column dress by Tom Ford, complete with a sweeping cape detail. With gorgeous gowns galore, this year's Oscar frock competition was fierce – we also adored Emma Stone in raspberry Giambattista Valli, Natalie Portman in polka dot vintage Dior and Rooney Mara in stunning white Givenchy. Check out our gallery to see them all! GG Scroll down to see all the pics from The Oscars 2012

Diane Kruger Works Cuffed Earrings On The Red Carpet
Diane Kruger hit the red carpet at the Berlin Film Festival wearing this jaw-droppingly beautiful Giambattista Valli Haute Couture dress to the premiere of her newest film Farewell, My Queen. Diane, who never puts a fashion foot wrong, vamped up this dress with cuffed earrings, giving a rock spin to a haute couture dress. Most would not get away with mixing high-end couture with alternative accessories, note the crystal Judith Leiber leopard clutch too, but to be perfectly honest we think Diane would look good in just about anything!

Cameron Diaz and Bar Refaeli Wow At The Dior Couture Show
Paris couture week is in full swing and the A-list are out in full force. As well as Giambattista Valli and Versace’s return to the couture world after an eight-year hiatus, hot ticket Dior also showed, with Bar Refaeli, Cameron Diaz, Olivia Palermo and Anna Wintour watching on.
Both wearing Dior designs, Cameron opted for a kitsch ’50s look in a polka-dot prom frock and pouffy quiff, while Bar oozed sex appeal in a figure-hugging cream mini and coordinating strappy heels. On the runway, however, it was a mix of old Hollywood gowns and elbow-length gloves, cocktail hour frocks and pencil skirts teamed with peplum blouses. Wonder if we’ll see that tulle ballgown swooshing down the red carpet on Oscar night? GG

Sarah Jessica Parker Goes All Little Red Riding Hood!
Sarah Jessica Parker looked amazing, albeit slightly Little Red Riding Hood-esque, as she donned a red Giambattista Valli haute couture gown and cape at the premiere of her new film I Don’t Know How She Does It in Moscow over the weekend. SJP’s latest film is a comedy based on the bestselling novel, and her co-stars include Pierce Brosnan and Christina Hendricks. SJP accessorised with slicked-back hair, muted red lips and piles of Fred Leighton jewels. This is one Carrie-worthy ensemble – we love it! RS

Emma Stone Smoulders On The Red Carpet
Emma Stone brought a huge helping of glamour to red carpet proceedings at last night’s Crazy Stupid Love premiere in New York. The stunning red head looked super sultry in her black lace, exaggerated hipped Tom Ford number – that man knows how to make a hot frock – and spike trimmed Louboutin courts, while she went all Mad Men make up wise with a scarlet lip. After yesterday’s colour block Giambattista Valli stunner, Emma’s on a red carpet style roll. Uh oh, we’ve got another girl crush! GG

Mila Kunis Looks Curvalicious In Lanvin
Olivia Palermo, Mila Kunis, Emma Stone, Justin Timberlake – the celebs were out in full force at the Friends with Benefits film premiere in New York last night! Whilst Justin looked very dapper in his grey suit, it’s the dresses we’re torn between - Emma Stone nailed the colour blocking trend in a Giambattista Valli dress and Christian Louboutin heels, whilst Mila Kunis’s Lanvin ensemble would give a Kardashian sister a run for their body con!
Olivia Palermo mixed designer and high street fashion like a pro with gold Giuseppe Zanotti heels and a printed maxi skirt by Topshop. With all her Topshop clobber, Olivia’s wardrobe almost has as much stock as the Oxford Circus flagship store! Move over Kate Moss – wonder if Sir Philip Green will be signing up Miss Palermo for a new high street range? HE
