Tuesday’s Sexy Celeb Goss

Good Morning! When Monday starts off on a glam note, you can tell it’s going to be a good week. So we’re in for one hell of a fabulous few days as it’s the London Film Festival, the Frieze art week and BRITNEY IS IN TOWN. I love Britney! I also love Daybreak’s Lorraine Kelly so it’s nice to be able to include both fabulous women in a round-up of the hottest stories in showbiz land right now.

I have to start with Kate Winslet, who looked fit to bust at the premiere of her film Labor Day as part of the London Film Festival. She’s due to give birth to her third child in December…

The film sounds pretty pyschological (typical Kate). For more info and pis, click here.

Now, I cant go any further without mentioning Britney. She is promoting her new song Work B**ch by doing some work, well interviews, at Radio 1 and the Alan Carr TV show in the UK, I also quite like how she’s working this leather skirt in some pics that you can see here. 

Meanhwile, I don’t often write about Daisy Lowe (because what does she do exactly?) but this photo below has been taken for a useful reason.

What is it? John Lewis is supporting Wool Week and hosting free knitting classes for everyone at London’s Oxford st and in Edinburgh. Click here for a schedule of events between 14-20 October.

Meanwhile, Anna Friel has been taking her daughter to work and they both posed up at the London Film Festival screening of her short film Virunga, about the work of the WWF charity. Kids and animals – that’s a good PR move from Anna?! Only joking, she does look genuinely sweet.

Also, happy was Lorraine Kelly, who attended the Women Of The Year awards lunch in London. Click here to find out who won what.

Now go out and have a fantastic day. There will be more goss tomorrow!

Blue Jasmine And More London Fashion Week

Good morning! The hump of the week is here. Fashion week is over and we’ve also had a film premiere – Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine.

I know I promised yesterday’s post would be my final oneabout LFW but the Blue Jasmine premiere was a bit of a washout in all honesty. Cate Blanchett attended and looked ok but that’s about it. Maybe I’m being harsh, but I give this outfit 6 out of 10.

 

So I really want to add to the fashion week post I did yesterday with an update about who wore what on Tuesday.

(1) Laura Whitmore at the Harper’s Bazzar LFW closing party.

 

(2) Rachel Hunter at Marie Claire magazine’s 25th anniversary. She’s got the bod of a 20 something in her mid 40s!

(3) Emma Thompson at the Maria Grachvogel show. Hardly anyone could pull those trousers off without looking like a clown but Emma manages it with confidence

Earlier this week, these were my five fave looks:

(1) Donna Air at Burberry Prosum

(2) A ‘specsy’ lady in the Glam bloggers suite at One Aldwych

Ok, it’s me….sorry! But I was so happy with the glasses I picked up from Osiris that I couldn’t resist sharing the photo. As I’m a Glam Media blogger (and proud of it) I was able to visit the Glam recharge and restyle suite in the five star One Aldwych hotel, where I checked out the latest fashion glasses frames, updated my blog and got my hair done by the L’oreal Elnett creative team. I always wear my hair pretty straight so it was nice to try a wavy side curl.

(3) Anyway…..back to the celebs. Lily Allen looked Ah-mazing at Giles Deacon

(4) Daisy Lowe at Christopher Kane stopped traffic. It’s controversial, but if you’ve got it flaunt it!

(5) Sienna Miller at Burberry Prosum showed off the cutest bolero fur top of LFW. The skirt’s a bit too suburban secretary for me…but the jacket is hot.

And the coolest man – Mr Harry Styles, who was also at Burberry. BUT is he wearing women’s knee length boots?!

Who was your favourite celebrity fashionista? Stay in touch with me on Twitter @zoegriffin  I love hearing from you!

Monday’s Hot Celeb News

Hi VIPs, I hope you all had a good weekend? If not, don’t worry, turn that frown upside down into a smile and make the most of your Monday instead. Today, I have news about a lovechild (naughty Liam Gallagher!), news about the celeb man I love (Johnny Depp) the info about a child for a Peter Andre and his 23 year old girlfriend, Leona Lewis kissing animals, and some fab fashion from the Lovebox festival and the Veuve Cliquot polo.

The most shocking story to emerge from the weekend papers was news that Liam Gallagher had fathered a love child behind his wife Nicole’s back. I’m devastated by this. I knew he was a player but I thought they made a great couple. However, the story’s shown Liam to be a real loser as intead of comforting Nicole he’s gone on a bender in Ibiza instead. I doubt the marriage will survive. Read the latest here.

I’m also surprised Peter Andre has announced he is becoming a dad again. His girlfriend Emily is 23 and there is no sign of any wedding. Is it just because his ex Jordan is pregnant? Get more info here.

But that’s enough about kids and love – let’s have some LUST. I’m so in lust with Johnny Depp and that feeling increased this weekend as he had the film premiere for his film Lone Ranger in Leicester Square on Sunday night. See more here. His co-star Arnie Harmer is also very sexy!! Both kept a stiff upper lip when a white horse pooed on the red carpet. Oooops!

Lianne La Havvas was one of the artists to brighten up Hackney’s Victoria Park for the Lovebox festival but here was drama on Sunday as Lil’Kim was refused on stage, being told she was too late to perform. What a disappointment! Aside from that, it seemed to be a fab weekend with Azealia Banks ending things in style om Friday night. Find out more here

Models like Daisy Lowe and Portia Freeman, the Made in Cheslea cast and Jodie Kidd got together at Cowdray Park for a gorgeous day of polo for the Veuve Cliquot cup. For more photos of polo fashion, check out the gallery at Grazia.co.uk here.

And finally, this really is a photo of Leona Lewis kissing a frog! But its for a good cause as she attended the Hopefield Animal Sancturay summer fun day with some other celebs. See more news about getting down and dirty at the animal sanctuary here

Have a FANTASTIC day!

So chic darling! Thandie Newton lead the fashion pack at Harper’s Bazaar LFW closing party

London Fashion Week may well be over (sniff, sniff), but you didn’t expect the fashionistas to leave quietly did you?

Last night saw style bible Harper’s Bazaar, throw the official closing party for LFW at super trendy Mark’s Club.

Everyone from models, actresses, designers and television presenters enjoyed the final night of LFW.

We adored Thandie Newton’s plunging black, Vivienne Westwood trouser suit, accompanied with glittery Stella McCartney heels. We wish we could steal her style.

Daisy Lowe pulled off casual chic in a black knitted jumper and baby pink pencil skirt. Whilst Laura Whitmore looked as though she may have been missing clothes, as her  beige trench left little to the imagination.

We were most confused over Downton Abbey star Elizabeth McGovern’s electric blue padded jacket – she looked as though search and rescue had just found her abandoned off sea.

VIP Hot New Venue: Ling Ling

Celebrity Venue | Ling Ling

It’s always big news when a new club or bar opens in London town. Last night saw the launch of Ling Ling, the sister bar of super swanky Hakkasan. The Chinese restaurant is favourites of the likes of J-Lo and Beyonce and we expect this new bar to be just as popular with the celebrities.

Model Daisy Lowe, DJ’d at the party yesterday evening and said she is mega excited about the trendy new bar in one of her favourite restaurants. Daisy always has immaculate make-up and said she is a big fan of British based brands. Yesterday she slicked on someRimmel Colour Mousse to brighten up her peepers – we definitely want to get the London look.

Made in Chelsea reject Kimberley Garner was dressed in white (again). When we caught up with Kim she said she has been taking a break from the Chelsea scene and wants to avoid the issues from the last season of MIC. On the upside she confessed she has been slathering on the Fake Bake tan – yessss, we can get her glow.

If you fancy a great night out at one of London’s most exclusive restaurant bars then see below…

How to get in: Booking is essential. Hakkasan is busy most nights, and we can imagine the new addition to the restaurant is going to be just as busy. Either call 0207 927 7000 or visit the website.

How much to pay: Expect to pay anything from £10 for a cocktail upwards – it’s lovely, but an expensive night all round, especially if you treat yourself to some food.

VIP Press Night: Forever Crazy by Crazy Horse

Celebrity Launch | Forever Crazy by Crazy Horse

Last night London’s Southbank welcomed the children of rock royalty from across the globe to launch the London production of the Parisian cabaret show Crazy Horse. The act consists of famous existing Crazy Horse dances and some new ones just for the London show. The dancers (above) will be shaking their bottoms on the stage to spectacular music, lighting and sets. If you love cabaret and fast paced dancing, then this Parisian show is one to watch.

Daisy Lowe took time out of her London Fashion Week duties to support one of her favourite stage shows in the world. The model, who is rumored to be back together with Doctor Who star Matt Smith looked super trendy in her midi skirt and leather jacket. Daisy said although she loves LFW she thinks the high street have some fabulous copies and has been getting her fashion fix from Urban Outfitters – lunch time purchase sorted.

Kelly Osbourne, who is in town to support BFF Henry Holland at LFW still looks super skinny after her dramatic weight loss last year. Ozzy’s daughter, who was not happy with the way she looked after leaving rehab, had an image overhaul and cut out sugary foods and started running. Kel said she still loves Jammie Dodgers, but said the best thing for you to work the calories off is to join a running club.

Tali Lennox recycled the leather hat from the Burberry fashion show earlier in the week – do models do that? The model, whose mum recently got hitched again said she couldn’t be happier. Tali said we will be seeing a lot more of her during the next year as she has some major campaigns in the pipeline – we wonder what gorgeous guy she will be modeling with next? Sigh!

Former Pussycat Doll, Kimberly Wyatt looked uber glam in a slash fronted mini dress and killer quiff. The dancer always looks so damn perfect, we are a little bit jealous. Kim told us that she has started using Lancome Visonnaire to keep pores and spots at bay – if this makes her skin that flawless, we want a bottle now!

London Fashion Week: Burberry and Mark Fast

London Fashion Week | Burberry and Mark Fast

We’ve had New York, and now it is time for London’s very finest fashionistas to don their Mulberry bags and throw on their Louboutin shoes as London fashion week kicked off this weekend. We’ve seen Vivienne Westwood, Eudon Choi and Topshop Unique hit the catwalk with their SS13 collections and we have loved every minute of it.

This week we will be taking you through our favourite shows and who was on the FROW:

Burberry…

As one of the most eagerly anticipated shows of the LFW calender, Burberry Prorsum models hit the catwalk in a flash of metallic pinks, violets and blues – complete with killer heels and aviator shades. Christopher Bailey has really outdone himself this time. Although the show wasn’t as impressive as last years fake rain extravaganza, the chiseled models, clean cuts and A-List FROW made up for it.

The celebs…

Super hot model Tali Lennox looked mature beyond her 19 years at the Burberry show – we were loving the blue and taupe stripes (not sure about the leather hat though).

One Direction heartthrob and cougar lover Harry Styles, donned one of his favourite blazers (this boy likes suit jackets the way Caroline Flack loves shorts), and was one of the key guest on the front row. Haz was sat dangerously close to Anna Wintour – possible cougar alert!

Reality star and clothes horse Olivia Palermo pulled off the office chic look fabulously, with tailored trousers, jacket and slicked back hair – we love and loathe this girl in equal measures.

Vogue legend Anna Wintour and master photographer Mario Testino found something funny – we didn’t think Anna smiled? Perhaps The Devil Wears Prada was a gross misrepresentation?

Mark Fast…

Mark Fast pulled out all the stops at his show with the sexy disco style outfits and sounds of 80s – we thought at one point we were out clubbing. Daisy Lowe looked ready to bust a move in this black fringed dress (perfect for a night out).

The vivid colours of the eighties featured throughout the collection and the textured micro mini is back for SS13 – we had better start our workout now.

The Celebs…

Mark Fast fans Kelly Brook and Pixie Lott looked delightful on the FROW. Kelly sported a purrfect leopard print dress, complete with red talons. Whilst Pixie adopted the understated chic look with calf high boots and blue tunic dress – both ladies looked gorgeous though!

Vogue’s Star Studded Fashion Night Out 2012

Celebrity Fashion | Vogue’s Big Night Out

All you shopping addicts were in your element last night as Vogue’s Fashion Night Out hit London town. The annual event which sees fashionistas sling on their best Jimmy Choo’s and hit the shops and join in on the fashion fun. Shops such as Acne, Louis Vuitton and Topshop played host to DJs such as Jameela Jamil spinning the decks and some of the UK’s hottest models strutting their super fine bodies down the makeshift catwalks in department stores.

If you were unlucky enough to not make it out last night, here’s a run down of our top 5 fave moments from last night:

(1) Christian Louboutin

Christian Louboutin launched the exclusive Highness Dragon Tattoo shoe for women, the Henri Dragon Tattoo for men and accompanying Dragon Tattoo iPad case, with a chance to win them all at FNO yesterday evening. Unfortunately, we didn’t win a pair, but the talented staff at the Mount St flagship boutique read our tarot and said we were going to meet the man of our dreams – we hope they were telling the truth.

(2) House of Fraser

As we made our way up Oxford Street, we had to take a sneak peak in House of Fraser (it’s one of our fave department stores you know) and we were greeted by glasses of champagne and catwalk shows. We got our dancing shoes on as Jo Whiley spun the decks and were wowed by Mark Fast’s new collection – we may have bought a few things too. Ooops.

(3) Longchamp

We may have at least three Longchamp bags in various colours, but there is always room for a few more to add to the collection. Last night, we hop, skipped and jumped to the French fashion labels flagship store where fashion savvy television presenter Jameela Jamil offered her djing talents. It was a great party and we now have another bag to hide from our partners. 

(4) Topshop

Topshop’s flagship store, or our Mecca as we like to call it, not only provided us with an amazing acoustic set from Delilah, but they glammed us up too – we have the coolest looking nails this morning. We had a sneak peak at some of the new collection and we are now several hundred pounds lighter – at least we will look good! 

(5) Mulberry

British Vogue Editor Alexandra Sulman co-hosted the super stylish party with Mulberry’s Creative Director Emma Hill. Guests included Daisy Lowe (above), Pixie Geldof, Jasmine Guinness and Laura Bailey – everyone looked so fabulous we were a little bit jealous. We were treated to champagne, canapes, goody bags and a look at the new collection. We now have our eye on a few bags which will be added to our Christmas list.

VIP Party: Graduate Fashion Week Gala and Awards

Graduate fashion week is important for not only the graduates but for big name designers who are looking to recruit the next big thing. The fashion show and awards have propelled many big name designers to the top including Danielle Scutt and Mary Katrantzou. So it was no surprise then that yesterdays Graduate fashion show at Earls Court attracted celebs and designers alike. Fashion designer Matthew Williamson was on hand to support the graduates along with is friend and muse, Daphne Guinness. Fashion icon Daphne looked beautiful in her black prom dress coat and platform heels. The style icon always looks immaculate and said this was due to some great make-up trickery and she keeps her perfect barnet in place with very affordable Lee Stafford Hold Tight Firm hairspray.

X-Tra Factor host Caroline Flack looked incredibly tanned and nautical at yesterdays fashion show. The television presenter, who since splitting from One Direction’s Harry Styles has never looked better. Caroline has great pins and loves to flaunt them, (we would too) and said she needs to make sure her legs are tanned before whipping them out. The bronze beauty said her fave product is St Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse. We had better get ourselves a can too.

Model, DJ and blogger Bip Ling looked like she had just gone back to school in her tartan mini and leather jacket. The graduate fashion week regular channeled the rock chick look well, from her fashion to her hair. The model said she pretty much rolled out of bed and just rubbed some Label M hair shaper into her locks to get a tousled look. This sounds good to us – looking good with minimal effort.

Model Daisy Lowe looked incredible in her casual ensemble. The knee length red dress, (how very K.Middy), leather jacket and 60s hair showed the other models how it’s done. Daisy always has immaculate make-up and said she is a big fan of British based brands. Yesterday she slicked on some Rimmel Colour Mousse to brighten up her peepers – we definitely want to get the London look.
