Sarah Jessica Parker in Jonathan Saunders, Chanel and Prabul Gurung

Well doesn't she look a treat. Sarah Jessica Parker is down under in Melbourne at the moment, promoting a movie, hanging out with Liz Hurley and Shane Warne, as you do, and going to the races. So there are some hats. Really big hats. But yesterday she wore a stunning pink ombré Jonathan Saunders dress (with pockets) and a Antonio Berardi silver evening coat with it. It shouldn't work, but somehow it does. Played SJP.
The evening before she had worn an out landing hat for a TV appearance. And combined it with a tweed Chanel dress.
And before that she wore one of her favorite designers, Prabul Gurung. A purple and cream beauty of a dress. I have to say I am not a fan, but this is a pretty good style masterclass. Minus the giant hat, of course.

Florence Welch in Jason Wu and Mulberry

I stole this image of the mighty Florence Welch off the wonderful Red Carpet Fashion Designs web site because I loved it. I mean let me count the ways. For starters, the Jason Wu coat, of course. Then the awesome little Mulberry stachel. Which I want of course. And then those burgundy flats which would fit right into my wardrobe without missing a beat. And I wouldn't mind that skinny black pant while we are about it if I am honest. So there we are. My outfit on someone else. How very dare she?

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, Wears Zulu Head Dress

Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, have arrived in South Africa. While they are currently in Johannesburg, they will be heading down to Cape Town in the next few days. Unlike Zara. But this is not about that.
Doesn't she look cute in her Zulu hat, presented as a gift. Cool.
Camilla also looked fresh and pretty in her white floral dress and that rather nice jacket. For a lady of a certain age, I think she looks lovely. Go Cammy! And welcome to South Africa. You are both very welcome.

Victoria Beckham's Exclusive Mini-Range for Net-a-Porter

Selling out at blistering speed, the brand new and exclusive mini collection of five dresses designed by Victoria Beckham for Net-a-Porter, was launched yesterday. Three of the five dresses, priced between £1,500 and £2,700, are sold out already. Seriously.
Sure they are elegant and timeless classics. Those are Vicky's words. And sure they are absolutely and utterly gorgeous and I would DIE for them all. And they are reworks of the best sellers from previous collections. But they are also super expensive. Right?
Yeah, but I would still get one if I could. Would you?

Princess Charlene and Princess Diaries Host Princess Grace Awards

Just how many princesses does it take to change a light bulb? Or host an awards? Well, just enough is my call. Onse Princess Charlene, Her Serene Highness of Monaco, was the gracious host at the Princess Grace Awards for Emerging Theatre, Dance and Film Artsist in America, held at Cipriani in New York on Tuesday night. And onse Charlene wore floor sweeping lace Dior. Elegant and understated. Good.
Also involved with some hosting duties was the Princess Diaries'star, Anne Hathaway. She wore Valentino Couture, as she has come to do quite a lot recently. I wonder how much of that is her friendship with Valentino, and how much is her stylist Rachel Zoe? Would be interesting to know. She happily added a bright red lip, which is a relief in light of all the pale. Also good.
Charlene was accompanied by her husband, and the reports are that they were relaxed and happy together at the event. Now that is excellent.

Blake Lively in Dolce & Gabbana and Valentino for Louboutin Party

The lovely Miss Blake Lively attended the Christian Louboutin celebration on Tuesday night wearing a short, tight, floral and lace dress by the house of Dolce & Gabbana. She paired the dress with classic court style snakeskin Loubs. She really did look delicious. And very, very pretty.
As she left with the maestro himself, she popped on a red leather coat by Valentino. You know. As you do when you haven't been fabulous enough already. Sheesh, this chick is some kind of awesome, no? Legs. Hair. Outfits. Boyfriends. And never seen falling out of a club or her dress. Class act.

Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, Packs Boxes for Africa

The kiddies in East Africa are of great concern to the lovely Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge. Good. They are some of the poorest and most needy wee ones in the world. And Catherine and her royal hubby have put their money where their mouths are and made a five-figure donation to Unicef who look after these children. And, so as not to be just throwing money at the problem, Kate and Wills took off for Denmark yesterday to go and inspect and get involved in the work of Unicef. And raise awareness of the plight of these kids. I can't find fault with this. Sterling work all round, folks.
What I can grumble a bit about is the re-emergence of those darstardly black suede knee boots that Kate loves so much. Argh. I had blanked them from my memory. But now that the chill has set in, they are back. And I'll bet they will be around for some time. Grrrrr. But the coat is good. Red, which suits Kate and makes a good picture. Belted, to show off the figure and look a bit modern. LK Bennett, high street, so that the charitable execution is not overshadowed. Canny that girl. Played.
