Britta Kjerkegaard is a new designer on my radar and with this glam new Spring/Summer 2009 range, I'll be sure to be keeping tabs on the stylish Dane. Strapless floor length gowns dominate the collection with oversized detailing key. Check out the dramatic frills on the bodice as well as corsages at the knee - love it!

This one might be a bit unusual for us, as this is not the whole look here. This picture is only of the most magnificent Madonna. Just look at her, if only for the headshot. We can’t believe that this beauty recently celebrated her 50th birthday!

Emmanuel Ungaro has something of a reputation in the fashion world. He's known for his use of romantic colours coupled with bright flashes, and it's surprising that his catwalk show doesn't reflect this. The models all have very subtle gentle makeup, and delightfully fresh looking hair. It's very pretty, but it's s a step away from what we normally expect.

Gisele Bundchen has signed on as the new face for Max Factor Cosmetics! There she is at right, looking a bit like a dramatic beached mermaid with really nice arms. Oh Gisele. We want to be part of that world. Read on for more information and lame The Little Mermaid references.

Everyone quite likes Coleen as she's a rather sweet Northern lass who is friendly to the press and likes shopping. But would you call her a style icon? I'm not sure. I also don't like her makeup the day that she released this book (bland and boring), so I'd have to go with no. But that's my opinion, what do you think? Is she a beauty queen?

When you utter impressive gilded words like “someone is worth his/her weight in gold,” you have to wonder how much that actually adds up to in hard cash. Well, now Kate Moss knows the value of her weight in gold, as British sculptor Marc Quinn is all set to unveil his latest creation of a $2.75 million (£ 1.5 million) solid gold statue of this supermodel.

These days, finding a designer wedding dress that you adore can often seem a huge strain on the bank balance. While most high end frocks cost well above the £1000 mark, it only takes a little bit if looking to turn up a stunning gown at a fraction of that price.

55DSL’s Fall Winter ‘08 collection will showcase styles and designs derives from the hi-fidelity stereo equipment and twisted references to the late 80’s. Think audio casettes graphics and old LP covers. Try not to miss the colors of hot-red- turquoise and purple. I don’t think you could anyway. Click on the images for larger versions.

If anyone knows about underwear, it's Elle "the Body" Macpherson. Both lingerie model and mogul, her Intimates line has some of the sexiest bra and panty pairings out there. Perhaps it's been around for a while, but we just came across the intriguing website for Intimates which features Elle's online "magazine."

It could be the weather being it's usual temperamental self that's upsetting me, but for some reason I have really chapped lips. We're talking grooves that wouldn't be out of place on Vesuvius, and added dryness to boot. I'm looking for something that can smooth them out again, and I'm wondering if the Body Shops Lip Scuff might do the trick.

You'd be hard pressed to find a show with more eye candy than Gossip Girl. Women are into the crazy plot lines, insanely hot fashion and ridiculously good looking men who spend a lot of time shirtless. But, now after a little rendevous on the red carpet between Leighton Meester and Jessica Szohr, men have a reason to watch too!

The UK is finally going to get hold of Serge Lutens Cosmetics, but unsurprisingly they're going to be exclusive to Harvey Nichols from the 27th August. Maybe it's because the clientele there are the only ones who'd shell out £49 for a lipstick and £100 for a compact foundation (refills only £45!).

We understand the so-called "bitch face," while competing. We'd prefer to think of Nastia Liukin's scowl while out on the mat, as more of a competitor's face than anything else. This isn't cheerleading -- this is someone who's put a lifetime of training into trying to win an Olympic gold medal -- pointed toes are a requisite, not smiling.
