This Week's Fab Favorite: M.I.A

Oodles of celebrities looked pretty this week, but M.I.A had the whole world in her hands.

Oodles of celebrities looked pretty this week, but M.I.A had the whole world in her hands. She is downright funky, and talented, but we rarely see the British performer dressed up. Such was the dress code for MoMA's 40th Annual Party in the Garden in New York and the lassie's iridescent sequin cut-out dress was truly unique. She toned it down with neutral suede peep-toe pumps but she also had a statement accessory: a globe purse. If you look close, she also has neon polished toes and fingers and green eyeliner on, staying true to her street style. Her dangly gold earrings camouflaged with her natural waves; a nice touch. This dress looks vintage but maybe it's by her friend Marc Jacobs — remember she posed in his Marc by Marc ads this Spring. M.I.A also performed at the event but her party ensemble was the winner.

Life's a Beach: St. Tropez Style

You want to take a glam-o-rous vacation?

You want to take a glam-o-rous vacation? Do like Beyonce and head to the South of France. But wait! Don't forget your sizzling swimsuit. There's a whole lotta richies in that part of the world, so you must look the part even if you can't dish out the dough.

What does St. Tropez require from its beach-goers? Not that much. Just that you put on your sexiest swimsuit and look confident. One word of advice? Use self-tanner weeks before you go. Pale + St. Tropez = no no.

Found! Kelly Osbourne's Jacket
Earlier in the week Kelly Osbourne attended a party at Shoreditch house with Agyness Deyn. She wore a funky black and white striped dress with a wet-look, tight fit bomber. Well, we can now reveal that the jacket is the Woodstock Rules jacket from the French Connection Autumn/Winter collection.

What Was She Thinking?!

Welcome to the .

Welcome to the . . . circus? That's what happens when you throw Agyness Deyn, Caroline Trentini, Gemma Ward, Iselin Steiro, Lily Donaldson, and Sasha Pivovarova in a park with drag queen-style makeup and colorful clothes that give new meaning to the term mismatched. Fashion Rocks 2007's "In My Tribe" editorial is one big, crazy lovefest outfitted by what looks like House of Holland on acid. Agyness must be in heaven! The funniest is Lily (center), double hoola hooping like she doesn't have a care in the world. All the while, the white bunny rabbits in the back are thinking, I wonder how these models feel about interspecies dating!

Do what you will with this humorous photo; giggle with it, caption it, copy it. Bottom line, have fun!

Who Wore It Better? Marc Jacobs Jeweled Dot Dress

Selma Blair reminded me so much of American dancer Louise Brooks when she wore Marc Jacobs's jeweled dot dress with her short bob at the designer's Fall '08 show at New York Fashion Week.

Selma Blair reminded me so much of American dancer Louise Brooks when she wore Marc Jacobs's jeweled dot dress with her short bob at the designer's Fall '08 show at New York Fashion Week. Kate Moss, on the other hand, exudes a more modern, sexy vibe in the same dress, which she just wore at a party in Germany. One can't deny that both ladies are ultra stylish, but each gives off a completely different vibe. Selma is more demure and covered up in her slightly longer dress, while Kate is freely exposing her legs by hiking up the hemline. So, whose vibe are you digging more?

Celebrity Style: Eva Longoria

There are a couple interesting things going on with Eva while she was on her way to the Ken Paves Salon.

There are a couple interesting things going on with Eva while she was on her way to the Ken Paves Salon. First, she was wearing crochet head-to-toe — an indication that Summer has arrived for the actress. Second, she was shopping at Target! We all love Target so I wonder what she bought. Cruising along in her Juicy Couture dress and Yves Saint Laurent Tribute sandals, the striped belt really helped break up the matchy crochet dress and bag. Well done, Eva.
