Just when we thought Versace would never be able to beat that gold saftey pin dress Liz Hurley wore to the Four weddings and a funeral premier - they strike again!
This years Oscars after parties were the year of the 'no knickers needed' dress code as several celebs chose to wear hot off the runway looks by Atelier Versace from the recent SS15 couture collection.
Heidi Klum wore a very revealing slinky silver maxi which exposed not only side boob, thigh and god knows whatever else, while Ronaldos ex Irina Shayk turned heads in the mesh onesie with strategically placed cut outs. (I would love to ask her how she went to the toilet in that??!)
Even Tv presenter Gigi Hadid got in on the act with a black cut out detail dress which she accessorised with a sleek pony tail and strappy sandals.
From Runway to A-list ready, heres the pics below..

Today's outfit post is coming at you by &otherstories (my new favourite high street brand). I don't wear much print as you might notice, but this printed dress had just the right amount of texture to still keep things fuss free. Accessorised with my reliable friend 'Nars Heatwave lippy' and away I go...
Let me know what you think? x
& OTHER STORIES Cut from lightweight viscose, this tailored dress features a waist-emphasizing silhouette and a ruffled front. Shoulder pleats and a knee-brushing length add on to the dainty feel.
New york fashion week opened with a bang yesterday with the first collection from Kanye West and his collaboration with Addidas originals. For a collection which apparently took 18 months to design (doubtful), and was apparently inspired by the London riots (they were back in 2011), and which started wilfully late, it was evident that this man is more arrogant and self obsessed than we ever gave him credit.
Not one to jump on the Kanye bandwagon, (as I actually bought his last album and do like his music,... who doesn't like Gold digger). But for a man who has been in and out of the press recently for his assholery at the Grammys, undermining the strongest musical performances of the night (Beck), that he would deny another artist there well deserved moment in the spotlight, I had higher hopes for this collection. The collection opened to his fierce voice over with "I'm here to crack the pavement," and "I want to create something better for you." with 50 models in different shapes, sizes and genders walking out like an art installation. Even poor Kylie Jenner got in on the act, but managed to blag herself one of the better outfits; a black shearling jacket with the trade mark tan tights. Surprisingly model of the hour Kendal Jenner decided to sit this one out as that could have been career suicide. The only pieces worth mentioning are the distressed ripped oversizes sweaters, and the sheepskin coats and aviators. The MA1 bombers kept it utilitarian, but that's nothing new which we ha vent already seen from the past seasons. And the boots will of course be the sell out piece from the collection. Apparently Justin Beiber was backstage already trying to snare himself a pair or two.The full body spanx's were my favourite pieces, (I think I actually have one of these already), making the models look like they're in full plaster casts, not to mention how un flattering these spanx suits over knickers can be... and should I mention the dreaded CAMEL and TOE? Or the American tan tights over the head? Even Mrs Kardashian- West came in head to (Camel) Toe to support in one of his lovely creations; An over sized cameo jacket with tan leggings and grey knitted crop top. Without the jacket I would have thought Kim had just walked off the set of Flashdance as she even has the leg warmers to match!
Kanye, Yeezy, Yezus whatever your name is...can you please leave fashion to the designers, and stick to your artistry at creating pop hits.
As a bride to be, I find myself drawing inspiration from every angle for our impending nuptules... vintage, celebrity... couture! So its no suprise that I found myself drooling over the latest SS15 couture collection by Elie Sabb this week.
Brides to be get ready to feel pangs of jealousy that you dont have a fat bank account to fund this sort of gown. *They're tears of joy honest*
)Oh and if someone wants to know which one I'm particualry hankering over... Its the 2nd one down- Bardot embellished bodice with thigh split feather skirt)
Ever wanted to combine your love of fashion and cats, without looking like some crazy cat lady (Yes please!!). Well some clever folk at claudie pierlot have launched the cutest range under the claudie vivetta sub brand.
I couldn't resist the white furry tongued hightops.

With the Matisse exhibition in full swing at the Tate Modern, its no surprise designers are feeling inspired by his trade-mark 'carved colour' and 'paper cut outs' which made him famous.
Designers such as Peter Pilotto, Roksanda, Adeam, and Jasper Conran featured spliced prints and abstract blocking on silk jersey dresses, while Stacey Bendet for Alice and Olivia just went plain obvious and paid Homage to the man himself with a 'Blue Nude' inspired placement print on a structured mid length prom.

I have settled into the 'less is more' approach to shopping, and this necklace probably set that off for me. Purchased from Mawi about 3 years ago when my skull obsession was at its peak, I adored it and had to have it in my jewellery collection. I'm sure it's not to everyone's taste but I just love the juxtaposition of it; faceted blue jewells off set with the creppy grinning silver skulls on a hard chunky gold chain. An absolute beauty in my eyes.
I was recently invited to Fearne Cottons latest catwalk show at One Marylebone, to showcase her new Spring Summer 2015 collection for Very.
The theme was Circus, and every little detail lived up to its theme. The invitation was a video (of course!) of a cockney ringmaster... there were fire jugglers, and even hula hooping gals all doing there thing while the models walked the glittering catwalk.
The hair was styled in cute micky mouse top buns, sandals were worn with sparkly ankle socks, and boots, had an air of ziggy stardust with glitter platforms and heals.
I was sat on the FROW opposite some of Fearnes friends - Gok Wan, Amanda Byram, Kye Sones, who had all turned out in force to support there pal. Fearnes new husband Jesse Wood was there too cheering on his lady, and had bought along some of the wood clan- step mum Jo Wood, sister Leah and new step mum Sally Humphreys. His daughter lola even came dressed as a clown which was super cute! Other celebrities in attendance included the Mcfly wifes (Giovanna Fletcher, Izzy Judd and Georgia Horsley) the made in chelsea stars, and legendary fashion journalist Hilary Alexander.
Which brings me nicely onto the clothes. A gorgeous black and ivory striped fun fur coat kicked off the collection, layered over some sexy black undies. Fur is being is being tipped (excuse the pun) to be huge for SS15 with New York and London fashion weeks being awash with clipped, coloured, striped and conversational furs from Tommy Hilfiger and J Mendel. The fact that designers are show casing fur for spring proves its an important staple, and I'm sure it will become a festival must have for next season.
A berry coloured culotte jumpsuit caught my eye, I do love a culotte, and I'm adding this jumpsuit hybrid to my summer must have list. A jacquard ivory full skirt and beaded tee was feminine but layered over the black cami and styled with the ankle boots added edge.
And a beautiful 50's inspired twosie cemented that co-ords are here to stay for at least another season.
The collection was playful and feminine with modern retro shapes such as 50's full skirts and 70's culottes, but it still kept an air of tomboy-ishness which I feel en-captures Fearne's dressed down approach to fashion and covered key shapes which any fashionista would be proud of.
This collection launches in January and is sure to beat the post christmas blues. .. (Hurry up January, I need that fur coat now!)
