Avatar premiere was an interesting event to attend, not only because the film was worth seeing but also because there were women worth admiring.
Leona Lewis, whose song I See You was used in the movie, looked absolutely perfect and outshined everyone else present on the blue (not red!!!) carpet. The singer wore a floor-sweeping strapless silver dress embellished with millions of sparkling stones. A pair of matching peep-toe heels completed the look.
Zoe Saldana, one of the main characters in Avatar, turned heads too. She appeared at the premiere donning a white Versace mini-dress with silver and gold panels and gold shoes.
Michelle Rodriues looked beautiful in a purple strapless gown with frills on the hemline.
However, it never happens that everyone looks great. This time it was Audrina Patridge who spoilt the scene.

Mounir Moufarrige has decided to stop working at Emanuel Ungaro brand. The Lebanese-born businessman realized he needed to concentrate on his other business.
Mounir had been the chief executive officer of the fashion label since 2006. He has recently felt huge pressure due to the fact he had brought Lindsay Lohan in as ‘artistic director’ of the brand. As you remember Lindsay’s debut was seriously criticized.
Moufarrige will focus on other work now but he will still be a member of the company’s strategic committee and have an opportunity to oversee certain projects and decisions.
Marie Fournier has been selected as Ungaro’s new general manager and since now on she will coordinate all the work in the company.

Women’s fashion is becoming more and more masculine. If last few seasons military jackets were top trendy, this season we see lots of classic and not-so-classic suits in designers’ collections. But suits for women are softer and more delicate.
This combination of androgyny with femininity looks nice and the photo shoot for Elle January 2010 edition with Brooklyn Decker is just another proof of my words.
The American fashion model is featured as a female dandy wearing a perfect Ralph Lauren cashmere three piece suit. She looks elegant and chic, though a bit too mannish.

Emily Blunt feels terrified each time she needs to step on the red carpet. The Devil Wears Prada actress confessed that awards season is something she always gets nervous of , because it means she would be judged again, all over, especially her fashion choices. And this fear obviously bears little unpleasant accidents the star often has.
She said:
I always get that panic when I step out of the car that everyone is going to hate it. I’ve had zippers that have broken too. Once when I was about to go on The Ellen Degeneres Show, my sister looked at the back of my legs and went ‘Ohmygod!’ I had a huge ladder up the back of my leg and the women on the show had to run around like chickens without their heads on to find me some new stockings.”
Emily has also revealed she doesn’t like corsets much as her body is left numb from wearing those. When she was starring in The Young Victoria she had to wear extremely restrictive corsets. She couldn’t feel her body during shooting.
However, practice helps and Emily has got used to this type of lingerie too and knows how to ease the discomfort from it.
She said:
I learned how to survive when they lace you tight. It takes getting used to. You must inhale so your rib cage expands. This way, after you’re all done up you can have room to breathe.”

Madonna looks chic even washing dishes. The singer graces Dolce&Gabbana Spring-Summer 2010 ad campaign wearing luxurious clothes. And she wears those in the kitchen!!!
The star is featured washing up, peeling vegetables and eating pasta, which seems a bit strange after so many talks about her diet rules.
The campaign is said to have been inspired by Italian neorealism cinema, something Stefano Gabbana says Madonna knows all about.
The designer also claims that despite the fact Madonna is very aristocratic she is very practical as well, and does a lot about the house herself, including washing dishes.
Certainly…she’s a very practical woman,’ he said.
Besides, Stefano says he had a chance to see the star eating spaghetti, traditional Italian meal.
Madonna likes the collection and clearly sees the connection between it and Italian cinema.

Being pregnant is not easy physically, emotionally and even fashionably. If you work you need to look good no matter how big your baby bump is. But dressing stylishly is possible and it doesn’t always mean spending all your salary on clothes.
When shopping for maternity clothing keep in mind a few important things:
1. Monotone and soft hues are perfect. You can combine garments of these colors more successfully than those of bright tints. Darker tones are more practical and have a slimming effect, so your belly will look smaller than it is. Of course you don’t need to hide your pregnancy but demonstrating it too much is not a good thing either. So for a certain period you better avoid vivid colors, extraordinary combinations and tight-fitting clothes.
Simple ensembles coming in black, beige, brown, grey, blue and khaki tones should be brightened up with bold accessories: scarves, headwear, chunky jewelry and, of course, footwear. All these items you’ll be able to wear after having a baby, too.

Ashley Greene, who plays a role of a very fashion-conscious girl in Twilight Saga, gives teenage girls advice for prom.
The actress says it is important to plan everything beforehand otherwise it can be too stressful.
She said:
Definitely plan ahead because the actual day can be kind of stressful. Planning everything out helps a lot.”
Ashley urges to pay attention to comfort of a dress when buying it:
When picking out your dress, make sure you’re really comfortable in it because you are going to be dancing around, moving around, sitting, eating and all of that stuff.”
Speaking about makeup the young actress said girls should be ‘subtle’ to keep a natural look.
She told TeenPROM magazine:
Be yourself and don’t overdo it. People have a lot of anticipation for an event like prom and end up overdoing it or wearing too much.”
Really make sure you are comfortable because then you’ll feel beautiful, instead of going overboard and asking yourself, ‘Oh my gosh, what did I do?’”
This advice is little and insufficient but really helpful. Use those when preparing yourself for the big party day.
