We haven't seen much of Mischa Barton since the disaster with her latest TV show "The Beautiful Life" being cancelled after just one episode a few months back, but here she is in Beverly Hills yesterday doing what she does best: shopping! Mischa stopped by the Oscar Generale Showroom and pro that she is she kept a smile on her face as soon as she spotted the cameras on her. Mischa looked cute as usual in her funky personal style, we love that kiss necklace!

Style Tips: Fall's Hottest Hair Trends

Wednesday 3:56 PM, 28/10/2009

The Hills star Audrina Patridge looks amazing in the sideways bun seen on the Giorgio Armani runway. We think this is going to be her signature look!

These classic folded updos from the Bottega Veneta runway look just as gorgeous on the red carpet - just ask Diane Kruger

Edgy haircuts, especially the onesided shaved look like the one model Alice Dellal is famous for were seen on runways like Alessandro Dell?Acqua and are very in this season!

Detailed top knots as worn by Melrose Place star Katie Cassidy are dramatic and flattering. Christian Lacroix used them on many of his runway models.

Givenchy and Karl Lagerfeld had crimped hairdos on their catwalks. Will you be wearing this style like Tyra Banks does?

Gwwen Stefani loves a vintage-style updo and so did Moschino this season!

Whether you are a having a bad hair day or not, hats like this one on Gossip Girl's Jessica Szohr are still very much in style!

Be daring and go red this Fall, like Ashlee Simpson. Chanel was all about the red hair for their Fall 2009 show.

Old-style Hollywood glam curls never go out of fashion, we love them on Megan Fox and on this season's Chloe runway models

Sienna Miller is always on top of a flattering trend that suits her style. This season's Calvin Klein headband trend is a perfect match for her!

The Fall runway shows are a great way to spot upcoming hair trends and also they show you how to match trendy clothes with the latest hairstyles. As you know, many celebs love to watch the runway shows, so its no coincidence so many of our favourite celebrity fashionistas, like Gwen Stefani, Sienna Miller and Diane Kruger have been spotted wearing some of this season's hottest hair trends, take a look!

This weeks best and worst dressed celebs!

This Week's 9 Worst Dressed Celebrities!

Sunday 6:09 PM, 25/10/2009

9. Sienna Miller is known for her fantastic personal style, but on the opening night of her Broadway Play this week, we think there was no sign of it! This slithery, shiny cut-out dress looks like Tinkerbell had an accident on on the Latin Ballroom dance-floor!

8. Actress Raia Haidar was drowning in all this lace and satin at the Rome Film Festival! There is way too much going on at the top and at the hips!

7. We are so disappointed in Camilla Belle! She is usually so well put together, but with those feathered shoulders and the frilly skirt and white patterned lace, she got vintage really wrong this time!

6. Princess Beatrice looks like she was dressed up for an early Christmas party with that red skirt with white trimming, except she wasn't. This is what she wore out to clubbing in London!

4. Another cut-out nightmare! Lady Victoria Hervey gets invited to all the best runway shows and is friends with so many designersm, you would think that she had learnt some style tips by now! There is so much wrong with this look, we don't know where to start, maybe with the bralessness?

3. Song writer and charity fundraiser Denise Rich wore this very busy dress to the Angel Foundation ball this week and we just don't get what she was thinking! The more she stood out, the more people would donate? Someone needs to donate her a new outfit!

2. We all know Shauna Sands likes to show off her skin and her assets, so big surprise that there is a lot of flesh going on here. Just because you decorate it with designer bling like a Chanel necklace, doesn't make it classy Shauna! Fail!

1. Okay, just because you are going to a costume party doesn't mean you don't have to be stylish! Veteran actress Jamie-Lee Curtis has been on enough red carpets in her career, she should know better than to show up in a nude dress with some bright flowers glued onto it. This looks home-made, by children! We think it probably is!

This week our fashion police were as busy as ever scouting for fashion offenders everwhere in celebrity world and as usual the stars never let us down! In this week's list a well known fashionista makes a strange mis-step and a old favourite trashy girl is back on the list! Its no big surprise that Shauna Sands made the list, but we are kind of shocked at Camilla Belle and Katy Perry who are usually fabulously styled! Take a look:

Lily Allen & Katy Perry: The Paris Catfight!

Thursday 2:32 PM, 08/10/2009

Source: WENN.com

Singers Lily Allen and Katy Perry have said more than a few bitchy things about each other in interviews in the past, but this takes the cake! Lily Allen performed live during the Chanel runway show for Paris Fashion Week 2 days ago and we hear she threw a fit when she heard Katy Perry might be invited to attend the front row for the show! She refused to be in the same room as Katy! Because Lily has just been signed as the face of Chanel's latest handbag range, she got her way and Katy was nowhere to be seen! That is just plain mean!
