 Gwyneth and the LBD

 

In today’s GOOP newsletter (sent to the lucky few to have registered on Gwyneth Paltrow’s new lifestyle/advice website), the Oscar-winning actress imparts top tips on how to wear that ever faithful classic - the little black dress. The newsletter even comes complete with pictures of Gwyneth revealing different ways of wearing… yes, you’ve guessed it… a little black dress! See above for our fave two looks. And, in case you’re itching to know what she says about the LBD, here’s a tasty morsel: “Personally, I like to stick to the classics in both my everyday life and in the evening. Whether I am going to meet friends for dinner, a cocktail party or a bigger event, the most classic of classics, the little black dress, never fails me. It could be Zara, it could be Balenciaga, but a well-cut, well-proportioned black dress has gotten me through many a fashion crisis.” … Right oh! We’ll keep you posted on more of her fashion ‘pearls of wisdom’ as they come…

 Kate Winslet and Vanity Fair in fur debacle

And here’s the lovely Kate Winslet posing seductively in Agent Provocateur stockings, YSL heels and an £11,500 fox fur throw. But according to press reports, the 33-year-old apparently only agreed to pose with the fur on the belief that it was fake. Animal rights campaigners have since spotted tell-tale signs that the fur is, in fact, real, and Vanity Fair have been forced to make an apology since our dear Kate is very much against wearing fur. A representative for the magazine says: “Although there were both real and fake furs on set, the fur used in the photograph is real. We thought Miss Winslet was aware of this and we’re sorry for the miscommunication.”

 Vicky B to strip off for Armani

Victoria Beckham, it seems, is a right old copy cat… The news is she’s to follow in the footsteps of hubbie David by stripping off - sorry, modelling - for Giorgio Armani. Armani have confirmed that the popstar designer will be appearing in a worldwide ad campaign for Emporio Armani underwear. So that’s brilliant then, isn’t it? We get to see just how skinny she really is, and she gets to enjoy whatever exaggerations Photoshop-frenzied art directors decide to bestow on her. Everyone’s a winner.

 Peaches Geldof’s PPQ collection arrives in store


Peaches Geldof’s capsule collection for PPQ has arrived in store at Selfridges and we’re loving it. Having been described by Peaches as incorporating elements of ‘Gothic and dark’, you’d expect the designs to be far edgier and perhaps less appealing than they actually are. In fact, they’re totally wearable and cool. ”I have always been in love with everything PPQ designed. It got to the point that I knew the PPQ aesthetic so well that it was a natural progression to begin working together,” said Peaches. Right on… and keep up the good work we say!

 Victoria Beckham shooting ads in Hertfordshire

Victoria Beckham herself will be starring in the ads for her spring/summer 09 dress collection (well we wouldn’t expect anything else would we?). Filming for the ads has been taking place over the last couple of days in the grounds of Wrotham Park in Hertfordshire and it’s heartwarming to see the style icon wannabe looking as sullen as ever; even wearing one of her own posh frocks has failed to raise a smile!
