History: Alexander McQueen is an English fashion designer who has a brand that wears his very own name. McQueen was born as the son of a taxi driver in the East End of London. He started making dresses for his sisters at a very young age, knowing that Fashion design was a dream he was going to achieve to any price. Alexander even took his Masters degree in Fashion design at London's most prestigious fashion school, Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. Alexander McQueen then continued with his dream and earned the title "enfant terrible" with his early runway collections. The designer has boutiques in New York, Los Angeles, Milan and Las Vegas.

OOPS!

This Week's Worst Dressed Celebrities!

Sunday 5:13 PM, 14/03/2010

8. Zoe Saldana was trying way too hard to impress with her style at the Oscars! We loved the top of her gown, but the bottom was way too busy and messy! Less is sometimes a whole lot more on the red carpet Zoe!

7. Big suprise - not! Mariah Carey in just another too-tight dress! There was too much cleavage, too much leg and that piece of jewellery on her hip drew attention to all the wrong places on her body!

6. Swedish actress Malin Åkerman usually has simple style, but at Elton John's Oscars party she lost her way totally! We don't get the white lace table cloth skirt with the black lingerie-looking top. Her hairdo did nothing for her either. What a shocker!

5. Patricia Clarkson wore this unflattering dress to the Vanity Fair party this week. Stripes that go wider at the hip area are not a good idea for any body - not even skinny Hollywood stars!

4. Salma Hayek was lucky enough to be one of the first people to be seen in a dress from Alexander Mcqueen's last collection on the red carpet. We understand that she was making a statement, but even though we love the rich pattern on the fabric. The cut of the dress is more for runway than the red carpet! Way too edgy for Salma's style!

3. Beth Ditto love to make big bold statements with fashion and we respect that, but that doesn't mean we have to say we love it! She wore this big green patterned dress to a John Galliano showing at Paris Fashion Week and we really didn't love think it did anything to flatter her!

2. Whoops another wardrobe malfunction this week! This time it was Maggie Gyllenhaal who couldn't get her flapper dress to stay up! Not so sexy, more embarrassing!

1. Lindsay Lohan's outfits this week at Paris Fashion Week were definitely hit and miss and this one was a total miss for us! She has a way of making a luxury fur coat look, ummm well...cheap! The fact that she is almost popping out the top of that dress isn't helping either!

Something strange happens to many fashion-loving stars at huge events like The Oscars and Paris Fashion Week - they loose all sense of style! We don't know why, but it feels like everyone is trying so hard to be different and have a "wow" fashion moment on the red carpet, that often it turns into an "Oh NO" moment! Take a look.

The tributes to him from fans and friends

The fashion world is still in shock about talented British designer Alexander McQueen's death last month. He was meant to have a show at Paris Fashion Week this past week, but of course this never happened. Instead there has been a tribute wall set up for him at all the fashion weeks since his death and his latest collection was on show, in a museum kind of display during Paris Fashion Week. Take a look below:

Lady Gaga Creates Chaos Before Brit Awards!

Even when she is dressed down its a drama!

Lady Gaga sang at the Brit Awards last night in a very moving and dramatic performance. But it was actually all a last minute idea. She had planned to do a huge, fun medley of all her dance tunes, but on Monday afternoon she told the show organisers she wanted to change everything because she was too upset by her friend Alexander McQueen's suicide last week. So Lady Gaga spent hours changing her performance and we hear some of the other artists had to give up their rehearsal times. Diva behaviour? Hopefully everyone understood her sadness. Here is the clip from last night. Look out for Brit Awards pics later on today too!(Source: HuffingtonPost)
