>> Carey Mulligan and Keira Knightley are a red carpet dream: the two have been taking the London Film Festival circuit by storm while promoting their new movie, Never Let Me Go.

>> Carey Mulligan and Keira Knightley are a red carpet dream: the two have been taking the London Film Festival circuit by storm while promoting their new movie, Never Let Me Go. Yesterday alone, the duo stepped out in Chanel, Proenza Schouler, Vionnet, and Rodarte.

For their photo call, Mulligan donned a mustard yellow Pre-Spring 2011 Proenza Schouler dress paired with black Yves Saint Laurent pumps, while Knightley opted to wear Rodarte — marking the designers' first Spring 2011 piece to hit the red carpet — complemented with brown Christian Louboutin pumps. Later in the evening at the movie's premiere, Mulligan, a Vionnet fan in the past, chose a head-to-toe Spring 2011 look from the label — finishing it off with Giuseppe Zanotti for Vionnet gold wedges — while Knightley, a current Chanel face, picked a pearly Fall 2010 Chanel couture dress and chunky black pumps.

Yves Saint Laurent Belt Clearly Visible in Chloe Fragrance Ad

>> The blown-up, billboard version of the ad for Chloe's latest fragrance — Love, Chloe — is causing quite the kerfuffle.

>> The blown-up, billboard version of the ad for Chloe's latest fragrance — Love, Chloe — is causing quite the kerfuffle. At the magnified size, Raquel Zimmermann is clearly seen to be wearing a belt by Yves Saint Laurent, rather than Chloe. Although less noticeable, Hint reports hearing that Zimmermann's coat is also not Chloe. The ads were shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, with Ezra Petronio as creative director. No stylist's information was released, and Petronio did not return calls. [WWD]

Stefano Pilati Said to Have Renewed Contract at Yves Saint Laurent; Karl Lagerfeld Rumored to Be Retiring in 2012

>> In response to the rumors of Stefano Pilati's tenuous footing at Yves Saint Laurent, more rumors: Balmain's Christophe Decarnin, former Saint Laurent men's designer Hedi Slimane, and Raf Simons were all reportedly approached for the job, but nonetheless, Pilati is said to have recently extended his contract for another three years.

>> In response to the rumors of Stefano Pilati's tenuous footing at Yves Saint Laurent, more rumors: Balmain's Christophe Decarnin, former Saint Laurent men's designer Hedi Slimane, and Raf Simons were all reportedly approached for the job, but nonetheless, Pilati is said to have recently extended his contract for another three years. Word is, Hint reports: "Pierre Bergé has no interest in seeing the YSL brand continue. He'd rather see it killed and the legacy remain untouchable, observed only from afar through exhibitions, films, auctions, etc. As his foundation still controls the YSL archives, he can and does make life difficult for whomever wants a closer look at the house's DNA," which may have contributed to the potential replacements turning Pilati's position down. There's also speculation that Karl Lagerfeld plans to retire on his 30th anniversary at Chanel in 2012 — "it's thought he'll stage a massive, never-before-seen, no-expense-spared farewell" — leaving Alber Elbaz to take his place and Olivier Theyskens to take the reins at Lanvin.
