One of the most awaited glam events – the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards – was held yesterday, on January 31, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

While some were burning with anticipation of who was to win, others, including me, were looking forward to seeing fashion choices of the evening. And, sincerely speaking, we were not disappointed!

Lots of beautifully dressed ladies arrived to the event and sashayed on the red carpet showing off themselves.

The outfit I liked the most was worn by eccentric Lady GaGa. Custom-made Giorgio Armani Prive gown looked fabulous! I really mean it. I loved the dress! Of course it was far from ordinary but the color was nice and the design wasn’t aggressive. Rather it brought some unexpected femininity to GaGa’a look, something that she usually misses. The shoes were shocking though. They looked great but were hardly safe to wear.

Jennifer Lopez looked stunning in an unusual silver-white gown, white peep-toe shoes and absolutely sumptuous bracelets!

Lea Michele glammed up the red carpet sporting a sexy black one-shoulder dress with a feathered hemline and matching black heels.

Next comes gorgeous Marisa Miller in a snowy white vintage Gucci mini-dress and black Yves Saint Laurent pumps. The supermodel looked perfect! I’ve got one question though, why does she always choose short white dresses for red carpet events?

Scarlett Johansson is a super celebrity now. She works with best fashion brands and covers most beatiful fashion magazines. What her secret is I wonder.

The blonde actress graces Harper’s Bazaar UK January 2010 cover as well as a number of glamorous photos. Scarlett looks stunning as always, wearing Yves Saint Laurent, Dolce&Gabbana and Oscar de la Renta. Besides, she dons a T-shirt from Gap and Converse trainers. And of course, we cannot miss that special edition jewelry by Solange Azagury Partridge which is absolutely wonderful!

Alexi Lubomirski photographed the star.

Laetitia Casta is the model we see in Vogue Paris December/January 2009/2010 issue. The French beauty looks chic, eccentric and even romantic on plenty of interesting photos.

The whole photoshoot can be divided into three absolutely different parts. One is all about glamour and voluptuousness. Laetitia looks like a vamp: red hair, pale skin and sensual lips.

The second pictorial reminds me of Yves Saint Laurent’s chic. Black, sumptuous outfits look wonderful on the gorgeous figure. The girl is really hot!

And the third pictorial is the one I like the most. It was done somewhere in the country and is all so simple and romantic. The model is featured breastfeeding sitting on a branch, sleeping with lots of fruit and vegetables in her dress, and playing with domestic animals. Nice!!!

This collection astonished me. I expected to see lots of classics: sophisticated dresses, austere suits, pencil skirts, luxury high-stilletto heels and suchlike. But my expectations turned to be absolutely wrong as the range was all about simplicity and even casualty.

Yes, there were a few pieces that made me impressed with their beauty and style but the rest didn’t seem so much appealing. Stiff fabrics didn’t lok like perfect for making dresses and skirts. And the strawberry pattern looked out-of-place. It was hard to find the link between separate outfits following one after the other.

“A natural and honest chic, an aesthetic paradigm of new minimalism” was the motif of the line Stefano Pilati created for Spring/Summer 2010. Though it was too much of minimalism in the collection. Even the colors were minimal, mostly black and white were used.

Some of the items looked very feminine though and would be great for coctail parties and even red carpet events, especially the black velvet strapless dress with a deep decolette.

I hate to admit it but for women fashion often prevails for health. And this is exactly what’s happening now when fashionistas are searching for sky-high heels to copy the style of celebs like Victoria Beckham, Cheryl Cole, Megan Fox and others.

Six-inch heel is the top trend at the moment and lots of shoe designers have paid attention to this. So, this week Debenhams sees the launch of what it claims to be the highest heel on the high street.

The Miss KG ‘Goldie’ platforms, which come in sparkly black or gold, have a staggering 15cm heel – the height many footwear manufacturers used to avoid.

Of course you can hardly stand and walk in such shoes all day long and probably need a taxi to ride you to places you need but the fact the heels look gorgeous is undisputable.

More and more brands are following Debenhams‘ lead in stocking skyscraper heels this season as the demand for the celebrity look is enormous.

A Debenhams spokeswoman said:

The trend is bigger and bigger. We expect them to be a bestseller.’

Italian fashion designer Stefano Pilati chose American model Christy Turlington to be the face for Autumn/Winter 2009/2010 Yves Saint Laurent ad campaign.

The new pics of ads are in black and white colors. The main accent is on red sweet lips.

The fashion reminds style of the 90’s.

Yves Saint Laurent resort collection 2010 looks fantastic! Probably it’s just my so-much individual opinion as I love this brand very much. I do love almost every piece of the collection for the exception of those terribly looking bloomers the model is wearing at some of the pictures.

Stefano Pilati, who currently collaborates with Yves Saint Laurent, confessed he was partly inspired by seashells when creating the line. However, there isn’t anything overtly beachy about his Resort range. I would even say it was too far from summer vacations and seaside rest.

The collection is focused on classic cocktail dresses made of light fabrics like chiffon, satin; beautiful jackets and trench coats, classy trousers and sheer footless pantyhose of various tints.

Great news for those who don’t like seeing zero-size models on the covers of glossy magazines and catwalks! It is now Alexandra Shulman, Vogue editor, who has joined the fight against size zero.

The woman has confessed she is often forced to retouch photos of skinny models before they go the print. According to the editor designers are sending out samples of clothes which are too small for most healthy models. So, she considers it’s high time size zero trend ended.

She wrote a letter to the top designer houses informing them that Vogue readers don’t like seeing photos in the magazine or girls “with jutting bones and no breasts or hips”. Besides, she asked fashion houses to take action.

During the time I have been at Vogue, the sample sizes that models are required to war have become substantially smaller,” Shulman wrote.

We have now reached a point where many of the sample sizes don’t comfortably fit even the established star models.”

I am often having to run headshots on the cover, rather than images where you can see clothes, because my readers are uncomfortable with the size of the models when seen full length.”

The letter was sent to Prada, Versace, Yves Saint Laurent and Chanel.

If Vogue have spoken out against the use of size zero models we can hope other fashion magazines will follow the example and this ridiculous, and dangerous, trend will be put to an end finally.

Metropolitan Opera Celebrates its 125 Anniversary with Recreations of High Points in its History with a unique gala performance on March 15, 2009 at 6:00 p.m., featuring Met celebrities in recreations of historic classic productions and high points in the company’s past.

Met General Manager Peter Gelb said,

We would like this to be a celebration of both the music and the rich theatrical history of the old and new Met, which is why we are going beyond the traditional gala format. This will be more than the typical gala parade of singers.”

James Levine said,

“This is going to be one of the most engaging and enjoyable galas that we have ever done, both for the performers and the audience. Joined by some of the great artists of today, we will pay tribute to the Met’s glorious history, touching on legendary moments we all wish we had heard, and reliving some whose memory we treasure. It’s sure to be fascinating.”

Yves Saint Laurent sponsors the 125th Anniversary Gala benefit.

The French fashion brand sponsored last season’s new production gala event for La Fille du Regiment at the Met.

There were a lot of celebrities in stylish gowns and glamour views.

The glam event held at Lincoln Center’s Metropolitan Opera House, beautiful ladies including Claire Danes, Mary Kate Olsen, Becki Newton and Ginnifer Goodwin all graced the red carpet.

There were Kanye West and girlfriend Amber Rose, Diane Kruger and her Dawson’s Creek beau Joshua Jackson.

Diane Kruger looked more beautiful than others. Her two-toned electric blue strapless YSL gown with details on the bodice was amazing.

Actress Claire Danes looked dainty in a silk navy Yves Saint Laurent Pre-Fall 2009 halter gown with a draped skirt and a ruck bodice, accessoried with a gold YSL clutch.

Bloody-lips Mary Kate Olsen came in a black maxy gown with a silver belt, which matched an Yves Saint Laurent gold clutch.
