8. Actress Tilda Swinton has very unique style and sometimes we don't get her red carpet looks at all, but this time, we think she looks stunning! We love the cut of this gown and the colour is gorgeous on her!

7. Emily Blunt looks like a real Grecian godess in this dark blue dress. The jewelled belt gives her a bit of edge and we loved the shoes too!

6. Jessica Alba is always on top of a trend and those boots are really something special with this A-line dress, we think this look really pops and we bet girls everywhere are copying it as we speak!

5. As we told you last week, feathers are really hot right now and Anne Hathaway shows how to wear them oh so stylishly in this blue Armani cocktail dress. Some people thought it was a bit short, but we think she looks sexy!

4. Jennifer Garner is one hot mamma in this textures black strapless dress. We think it is really something special and we are so glad to see her dressing to impress again!

3. We all love Lauren Conrad's style, Its because she makes it look so easy and relaxed. Almost any body-type could wear this look and be comfortable and chic! Points to LC as always!

2. Actress Michelle Williams looks adorable in this black and white outfit! Its classic and pretty and super-stylish all in one. Coco Chanel would be so proud!

1. Naomi Campbell shows off what years in the fashion industry can teach you! She has fabulous personal style and she looked amazing in this black 3 piece woman's suit! Those boots are so hot too!

This week brought us the Berlin Film festival, movie premieres and of course New York Fashion Week. It was an action-packed week for the stars and they came out if full fashion force! We loved all the leather, feathers and sexy shoes on celebs like Jessica Alba, Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Garner!

Glamorous Fashion House Chanel hosted a special dinner to launch Chanel Rouge Coco Lipstick collection last night at the Mark Hotel in New York and some of New York's loveliest fashionistas were there to enjoy it! Vanessa Paradis is the face for the collection and we hear each of the lipsticks are named after an important detail of Chanel icon Coco Chanel's life, like where she got her inspiration from, her favourite flowers (Camelia) her favourite fabric(satin). The collection will be able in March. See who was at the party and vote for your favourite outfit!

This Week's Best Dressed Celebrities!

Sunday 5:59 PM, 31/01/2010

8. Beyonce has been experimenting with a fierce new look lately and we have to say its working for her! This outfit she wore in London for the Hope for Haiti telethon was really hot, especially that military coat - a must have item, still!

7. Even though we are still not sure about the new hair on ex supermodel Kate Moss, no one can deny that this woman knows how to dress to suit her body perfectly! Her legs looked fantastic in that minidress with the Laboutin heels!

6. The Hills star Kristin Cavallari really can do fashion! She totally stole the show at the "When In Rome" premiere this week in this hot pink dress with the fun leopard printed pumps! Go Kristen!

5. Don't you just love British star Emilia Fox in this dark blue suit? We can't stop staring at the belt detail, the pockets and the jacket especially! We also think this is a clever alternative to a cocktail dress for an awards show!

3. Peaches Geldof goes chic for the South Bank Awards this week! Wow, this is a fab grown up look for the rock princess and it shows she means business. We hope to see Peaches look like this a whole lot more!

2. Victoria Beckham shows that you don't have to be over-the-top to make a statement in this classic Burberry dresscoat! She wore it simply with a pair of killer heels and that famous pout and fashionistas everywhere haven't stopped blogging about it all week. Well done as usual Victoria!

Spring fashion is here already with the Spring-Summer Haute Couture Runway shows happening in Europe over the last week or 2! Stars have been showing off some chic little numbers. like Kristin Cavallari! We also have to give it up for Brit fashionistas this week as they have taken the top 5 spots on the list this week! Take a look who made no. 1 in her sexy little Herve Leger!

OOPS!

This Week's Worst Dressed Celebrities!

8. Kristen Bell shows again why cut-out dresses are not the best idea, especially if you are a not a crazy tall supermodel! We also think this colour does nothing for her!

7. Oh no AnnaLynne McCord! We get what kind of look she was going for here, but somehow AnnaLynne has turned then Grecian godess thing into a slutty comicbook character! Costume has never been stylish!

6. Michelle Monaghan's one-shouldered grey-pattern dress for the Screen Actors Guild Awards had so many problems, we don't know where to start! It doesn't fit well, its too short and it cuts her body in half with the design!

5. True Blood star Anna Paquin tried high fashion couture for the red carpet - and failed! Ladies take this lesson again - what is good for the runway is not always good for the red carpet!

4. We hate to say this but Patricia Arquette looks a little like a sea witch cartoon character in all that green sequents! A very bad choice for her body type with a terrible hairdo to match!

3. This is model Amber Rose with her boyfriend Kanye West at the Chanel couture show in Paris this week! We absolutely don't see anything stylish about the dress and we really wish this girl would stop embarrassing herself and the very fashionable Kanye in public like this!

2. There are no excuses for Mischa Barton in this outfit! She is supposed to know better, she is a famous fashionista with her own line of accessories! What were you thinking Mischa?!

1. We have only one thing to say to singer Kelis about this outfit: the biggest mistake you can make with fashion is to copy someone else's style, especially if its VERY distinctive! There is only space for one Lady Gaga in the music industry, so try something else Kelis!

We don't understand what was going on this week in the celeb fashion world! So many stars decided to experiment with strange cartoon-like versions of themselves, we are very confused! It wasn't pretty and we really hope they have all learnt their lesson from this!

The Chanel Spring-Summer 2010 collection at Paris Fashion Week was a big hit as usual! Celebs like Kanye West and his girlfriend Amber Rose(what was she wearing?!), pregnant supermodel Claudia Schiffer and fashionistas like Alexa Chung were all there to support legendary design genius Karl Lagerfeld and his latest designs. We love his new futuristic edge on the classic Chanel suit!

Last week we wrote about how cloche hats are back in style and we guess Hilary Duff reads our stuff because yesterday she showed up at Magnolia in her own cloche hat! Hilary matched her blue hat with knee-high boots and a Chanel bag, a great look...if she only took the hat off!
