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

Katy Perry’s Fierce Frock: Get Her Look At Goddiva
Katy Perry may have been debuting (another) new hairstyle on the red carpet recently, but it was her fierce studded Versace dress that got our attention. White punched leather and a generous sprinkling of shiny gold studs may sound OTT, but done Versace-style you’ve got a dress to die for.
If you, like us, find hot-off-the-designer-catwalk Versace is a bit budget busting, and you didn’t manage to get your mitts on the uncannily similar H&M high street fashion collection, don’t fret! Goddiva have come to the style rescue with this amazing homage. Look out for it landing at the online fashion store next week – perfect timing if you’re still in need of that knockout New Year’s Eve dress. GG Love Katy Perry's style?

Versace For H&M Mania Strikes!
With Versace for H&M landing in H&M high street fashion stores this morning, we never expected anything less than mega queues, a major stampede and hoardes of sharpened elbows, but we’ve got to say the shopping scenario at London’s Regent Street store looks rather civilised! As Versace die-hards made a beeline for their must-haves, Donatella Versace herself dropped in for a bit of scarf signing – wearing two of the high street fashion collection’s fiercest pieces, natch – and left clutching a bulging blinged up shopping bag. Surely you’ve got the whole lot taking up some serious closet space already Ms V? On another note, there’s already a whopping seven pages worth of Versace for H&M on eBay, so we suspect some shoppers were up bright and early purely to make a packet. Back off and leave it for the real fashion fans, people! GG

Love It! Versace For H&M’s Totally Tropical Launch Party
With the Versace catwalks always such a fabulously OTT glamour fest, we knew there was no way the label’s launch party for their upcoming H&M hook-up was going to be a subtle affair. To celebrate what is possibly the best high street/designer collaboration EVER, Donatalla Versace rounded up a whole host of A-list ladies and gentleman to party on a pier on New York’s Hudson River. After a catwalk preview of the killer collection, celebs including Blake Lively, Emma Roberts, Chloe Moretz and Selma Blair were treated to performances from a green haired Nicki Minaj and the one and only Prince!
Emma Roberts and Chloe Moretz both debuted designs from the range, Emma going for a print double whammy in the oriental floral bustier and matching trousers, and Chloe in the could-be-catwalk yellow embellished dress. Blake Lively worked a subtler look in a monochrome mini with just a smattering of signature Versace bling, while Nicki Minaj looked like she was vying for the role of Versace for H&M poster girl, posing with Donatella in a technicolour combo, popping platforms and flower adorned hair. Looking at this lot has got us on the edge of our seats for the UK launch on 17th November '11. Wonder what Donatella’s got planned for our side of the pond… we await our invites with baited breath Ms Versace. GG

Lea Michele And Jennifer Lopez Sparkle At The Glamour Awards
If last night’s red-carpet looks from Lea Michele and Jennifer Lopez are anything to go by, we reckon champagne is set to be the ‘It’ dress colour this party season. The starlets shimmered on the red carpet at last night’s Glamour Women Of The Year Awards in New York wearing strikingly similar frocks. Lea worked a vintage look in a jewelled Jenny Packham dress, glossy waves and a deep red lip, while Jennifer went for her signature high-octane glam in a slashed to the thigh Versace floor-sweeper complete with a corsage that would give Carrie Bradshaw a run for her money. The sparkle didn’t stop at the hot frock either – check out those bling-tastic Jimmy Choo peep-toe platforms. Other attendees wowing on the red carpet included Jessica Alba in sequined Tory Burch and Emma Stone in Grecian goddess Lanvin – check out our gallery to see them all! GG

High Street Hottest For Men: Versace For H&M
Ignore the fact Elton John is cited as one of their biggest fans – if a fashion brand is big enough to encompass lines in fashion, home furnishings cosmetics, accessories, fragrance, and even launch the first ever designer car in the world (a white Lamborghini Murcielago with white interior and black rims, for the record), they’re worth knowing about.
This season, iconic Italian fashion label Versace has joined the long list of labels including Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, Matthew Williamson, Jimmy Choo, Sonia Rykiel, Lanvin, Come des Garcons and Viktor & Rolf to design an exclusive collection for high street fashion store H&M.
Inspired by the Versace archives, the menswear fashion collection features slick tailored pieces, with suit jackets and trousers in black and even pink, (if you’re feeling brave), quilted leather jackets, jeans, printed tees and cashmere jumpers. Available in high street fashion stores now, and online from 17 November 2011, you’ll need to be quick - this fashion collection will sell out faster than the Stone Roses reunion tour gigs. HE

Taylor Lautner And Lily Collins Hit London
What a hot pair Taylor Lautner and Lily Collins make! The pair, who were reportedly an item during filming but have apparently recently split, braved last night’s downpour in London as they stood in the rain for the premiere of Abduction held at Waterloo’s IMAX cinema. Lily Collins wore a black bondage-style Versace dress with patent Louboutin heels, while a very handsome Taylor Lautner wore a Dolce & Gabbana suit with a white T-shirt underneath.
The film follows Taylor’s character, who is targeted by trained killers after they find out he has been living someone else’s life. Just scroll down to watch the trailer... RS

Hailee Steinfeld Rocks A Racer-Front Dress
We hate to say we told you so, but we did say the racer-front dress was the style to be seen in and it appears Hailee Steinfeld has taken note! Wearing a Versace resort 2012 black and white number to the Young Hollywood Party, Hailee teamed her racer number with a neon yellow clutch and pointy stilettos, which pepped up the monochrome dress. We just can’t get enough of Miss Steinfeld, and even though we’re not totally sold on her shoes we love the rest of this look – including her fresh-faced make-up and messy pony. Perfect! RS

The New X Factor Judges Up The Fashion Stakes
The new X Factor judges were in London today for the next round of auditions, and both Tulisa Contostavlos and Kelly Rowland wore colourful graphic combos. Kelly flashed her teeny tiny waist in a Versace skube (that’s skinny tube, FYI) and cropped top – as also seen recently on Daisy Lowe. Meanwhile, Tulisa rocked a printed dress with exaggerated shoulders and YSL Tribute sandals. Nice work, ladies! RS
