Heidi Klum was decked out in purple last night for a bash celebrating the release of designer Roland Mouret's new collection, the the RM by Roland Mouret Rainbow Project, for Net-A-Porter. A few of his brightly colored party frocks were on display, including a yellow number on Devon Aoki and a navy dress on Olivia Wilde. Rachel Zoe kept things a little simpler in a dark tone, as did Roland's fellow clothing creator Amber Valletta. Heidi's right back in the thick of the fashion world following a little time off with her new daughter Lou, continuing to look gorgeous whether it's mingling with fellow models or getting down to work.

Alexander Wang Evolves With Sportswear-Centric Spring 2010 Collection

>> Alexander Wang hinted recently that he was ready to evolve, telling W's September 2009 issue: "As soon as people get used to what you’re doing, you have to change direction."

>> Alexander Wang hinted recently that he was ready to evolve, telling W's September 2009 issue: "As soon as people get used to what you’re doing, you have to change direction."  And evolve he did for Spring 2010: the look of his last few collections, with their body-clinging shapes and primarily black palettes, was replaced by a generally looser silhouette and all shades of khaki, tan, olive, and gray.  He told WWD that Spring 2010 for him "is very much about classic American sportswear," and the idea is visible in pieces like a sweatshirt dress with football pad detailing (below) and all the shinguard-like socks cut out at the back of the calf.

But Wang didn't give up the sexy side of his label — there were plenty of bra tops, crop tops, and and lingerie-style shorts to go around.  The house was unsurprisingly packed, with Katie Grand (Wang's after-party co-host), Terry Richardson, Olivier Zahm, Diane von Furstenberg (Alex's CFDA-appointed mentor), Erin Wasson, Devon Aoki, Liya Kebede, and Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin all front row.  Frankie Rayder, Angela Lindvall, and Iselin Steiro walked, newcomer Mirte Maas opened, Karl Templer styled, and Wang's three styles of sunglasses debuted.

Girl Crush du Jour: Devon Aoki

There's something about Devon Aoki.

There's something about Devon Aoki. The Japanese-German-English model and actress (2 Fast 2 Furious, Sin City) doesn't really look like anyone else, and at 5'5", she's one of the shortest models around. I haven't seen her in any of her movies, so I can't speak to her talent, but I'm captivated by her look. Call me shallow, but I have a total girl crush.

Lily Cole, in Cannes for her own upcoming movie premiere, stepped out with boyfriend Enrique Murciano on Monday. "I've been studying the history of art in college," she told FWD. "But the gorgeous beach and sun is what everyone needs with two weeks left in the semester!"  Carine Roitfeld, who will have her big red carpet moment tomorrow at the amfAR benefit, appeared in lacy Balmain at a premiere today with Patrick Demarchelier.

Balenciaga muse Charlotte Gainsbourg debuted a Fall 2009 dress from the label at her Antichrist premiere, Eva Herzigova showed up in a sheer dress for the second year in a row, and Doutzen Kroes also popped up wearing Alaia, of which she tweeted, "So excited he lets me wear his dress!!"

If there were a time to embrace velvet, it would be right about now. Some of you have written off the plush fabric, but some of you are holding out for a super stylish piece. Model and actress Devon Aoki showed off her velveteen bag with pride at the Sundance Film Festival. Donning a rather bohemian look, Devon looked like she picked up her no-fuss bag at a local vintage shop. A plushy bag doesn't look so bad, ay?

Sassy Sundance Style

Many celebrities have left sunny Los Angeles, CA, for chilly Park City, UT. Why? It's the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. As you can imagine, they've ditched their sandals and brought along heavy-duty boots. But that doesn't mean they've left behind their style. Au contraire. Ladies like Zoe Kravitz (left) have taken the cold weather as an opportunity to layer and bundle up in beanies, coats, gloves, and tights. Check out what stars are wearing on the snowy streets and red carpets.
