Gwyneth Paltrow is a cover girl for Elle September 2011 issue. The looks trim and glam in the photo shoot wearing Christopher Kane, Tom Ford and Louis Vuitton creations. The issue features two covers and a photo set shot by Carter Smith. Paltrow looks great and talks marriage, career, and being herself. After a long time playing serious and melodramatic roles the actress has found that she doesn’t care what others will think of her if she showed her real more fun side.

On her performance with Cee Lo Green at the Grammys and Beyonce: “Beyoncé’s like, ‘Okay. The singing is great. But you’re not having any fun.’ She’s like, ‘Remember when we’re at Jay’s concert and Panjabi MC comes on and you do your crazy Indian dance? Do that. Be you!’”

On taking smaller and funner roles: “I can do short jobs. If I was still starring in three movies every year, there’s no way that I’d be the person my kids want when they fall down.”

“I’m sick of doing the crying-in-my-soup part. I want to laugh. I want to sing. The main thing is, I want to have fun.”

On Chelsea Lately: “Doing Chelsea Handler is like doing Howard Stern: You’ve gotta rise to the occasion. It’s good to shock people who think of me as the prim Gwyneth Paltrow.”

On being more herself: “If you speak to my friends who’ve known me since I was four, they’ll say, ‘That is her.’ They always said to me, ‘You’re the dirtiest person in the world and so funny. Show the world that side of you.’ I felt guarded. I felt like if I really showed people more of me and I was still not accepted, then…Who cares. You just realize it doesn’t matter what people think of you.”

Emma Watson received Style Icon Award. The Harry Potter actress commented:

It feels amazing. Fashion is something that I love. I try not to think about it too much. I try and block all that off and I just do what I love and just have fun with it. I’ve definitely been feeling the pressure a bit more recently but it’s just fun for me.”

The event was wholly dedicated to fashion and those people who have contributed to its development within the last 25 years. Over 500 people arrived including industry leaders, celebrities, designers, retailers, models and journalists.

Lots of celebrity women appeared on the red carpet wearing sumptuous outfits. Singer-turned designer Victoria Beckham wore one of her own creations – a floor-sweeping silk crepe Eighties-style gown with crystal embroidery on the shoulderpads. She looked gorgeous as always.

The Bristish supermodel Kate Moss opted for a similar-to-Posh’s dress – a sheer black Flamenco-style tiered dress with a super-long train. To cover her dignity a bit Kate donned a black blazer. Beautiful!

Bond-girl Olga Kurylenko looked stunning in a short black dress and a bolero, which she paired with black suede pumps and a clutch.

Designer Myleene Klass looked absolutely fabulous in a black frock with sheer sleves and a pair of perfect red shoes.

The other two girls in black were Eva Herzigova and Daisy Lowe who both rocked wonderful long gowns with cutaways and long splits.

The Scottish designer explained:

I’m inspired by anything from people in the street to movies and music. I also love to look at books. I find visual inspiration the best because it really evokes you and makes you think of future collections or characters.

My inspiration can be very random until two weeks before the show – that’s when I start to see real samples and I can start to imagine a character from film or music.”

The designer, who was a consultant for the Versace Versus range which debuted at Milan Fashion Week this year, didn’t tell much about how he came up with the themes for his shows.

He said:

I can’t really give away too many of my secrets, but if I’m completely honest I always follow instincts and work to come up with something I love.

As mentioned before, I love film and you can really relate to characters in movies – how the dress and feel. Besides film I love art, music… anything that makes you think.”

Why I say great? Because everything is so secret about it that it just cannot be bad, Topshop can’t disappoint us!

We don’t know much about the line actually. But some things have been revealed.

The collection is going to be the biggest ever for Topshop. It includes 39 pieces (with shoes and bags) and is to be launched this September. The prices will range from around $80 to $300.

This is more than a capsule collection. It’s proper: with bags, shoes, knitwear and dresses. It’s nothing like any other work I’ve done in the past. Everything is a bit “wow”. But If I tell you any more, I’ll be giving the theme away,” Christopher said.

Can’t wait to see what it’s like!

But as for me, some of gowns were crazy and unstylish.

Burberry creative director Christopher Kane received the award for best fashion designer. Peter Pilatto was first-rated as the upcoming hope.

Although fashion designer Matthew Williamson acclaimed ex model Twiggy to be called style icon, this adulator title went to Sienna Miller after all. Joanna Page collected Gavin & Stacey’s Best TV Series Award

Alexa Chung, who hosed the show was in a teal-blue, short, fitted backless Chanel dress, which looked extremely urbane.

She put on a huge cocktail ring by Mawi, Luella heels and had an upswept hairdo.

“I don’t look too mumsy, do I,” she worried. No way, Alexa.

The 24-year-old Indian actress and model Freida Pinto was honored with Elle’s Best Actress award.

She wore an offbeat Chanel short black dress with a transparent PVC yoke adorned with silk camellias.

Courtney Love was named Woman of the Year.

Her black fishtail gown with jet and black sequins was by Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy.

Roisin Murphy also put on the Givenchy, teaming her mirror-beaded top with a pair of Armand Basi grey harem pants.

Agent Provocateur model for S/S 2009 ad campaign Pixie Geldof, who made the cover of Italian Vogue, was in a backless LWD by Alexander Wang.

Model Alice Dellal wore sausage-skin of a dress, quite transparent at the sides.

The X Factor winner Alexandra Burke chose one of Dolce & Gabbana’s accessorised maritime views from their D&G collection.

Catherine Bailey was in a red-print maxi by Mother of Pearl, made by Damien Hirst’s wife, and daughter Paloma was in Alaia.

Model of the year winner Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley prefered a vintage-look, pale apple-green outfit by Kaviar Gauche, the Berlin-based collection designed by Alexandra Fischer-Roehler and Johanna Kuhl.
Anna Friel, 32, was in transparent black statement one-shouldered gown by Viktor & Rolf Fall 2008 embellished with staples. She took red clutch and had bright make up:thick black eyeliner and blood red lips.

Thandie Newton wore a multi-coloured Jonathan Saunders Spring 2009 floaty short gown with a layered skirt and gold strappy sandals.

‘Elle Style Icon 2009 Award’ Sienna Miller was in ruffled feathery green Matthew Williamson dress and Louis Vuitton black tuxedo jacket with feathered shoulders. Strange look. Nothing stylish.

Elle said she was given the award for her ‘unique, fashion-forward style’.

Those tiered miniskirts, leopard prints and fingerless gloves look pretty well on the young girl and I guess they will soon become extremely popular among girls of her age because if Hanna wears something it immediately becomes a teen fashion.

According to costume designer, Dalhia Foroutan, the retro look was created mostly for Miley’s on-stage persona Hannah to wear, but hints of the ’80s have been used in most of the cast’s wardrobe.

Some of the outfits designs were taken from Madonna’s Lucky Star and Like a Virgin days. But the look that influenced the kid’s style the most was that Madonna’s careless look that people of those days remember clearly well.

Foroutan says:

I didn’t like her (Madonna) so much in the ’80s, but looking back, she was so new and different and she really influenced fashion in the ’80s. I respect her for that”.

The Hanna Montana stars are too young to remember ripped-neck sweatshirts or legwarmers that were in vogue about 30 years ago, but they do consider the style as retro and think it’s cool.

Miley says she likes the style because it allows her to add her own details to it.

I can mix and match a cute shirt with some skinny jeans under a leather jacket and it looks fun and unique. That’s why I love the signature leather gloves that are a part of the new Hannah look. I like to put my own style into what I wear mixed with something from the past,” Cyrus writes in an e-mail to the AP.

We can already say that the style is getting its popularity as Teen Vogue has shot a lot of outfits with this vibe for spring, you can see them in the runway shows of Marc by Marc Jacobs, DKNY and London’s Christopher Kane.

So, girls feel free to experiment and introduce that retro style into your wardrobe. And stay with us to read about how to wear the Hanna Montana new fashion to look modern and cool!
