Today's Daily Shop - ASOS Premium Leather Clip Purse

With all that Christmas shopping you'll undoubtedly be doing over the next couple of months, a good purse is an absolute essential. Enter this great leather clip purse from the ASOS Premium collection, which will keep all your pennies safe and sound, plus add some style to your shopping trips. Available in a range of colours (pink, tan, black, mint, beige and purple to be precise), we reckon it'd make a great pressie too.

Star Style - The Bump's A-Growin'

Mama-to-be Nicole Richie showed off her ever expanding baby bump yesterday as she went out with her girlfriends in Los Angeles. Baby Papa Joel Madden was nowhere to be seen as Nicole spent a good few hours catching up on her gossip and laughing with her friends over a long pavement café lunch. Looking the most relaxed and content we think we've ever seen her in a casual deep v-neck knit over a black mini dress, she later went on to the pet shop and bought herself a goldfish - dare we say that La Richie might actually be settling down? It'll be a Volvo and a dog next. Still, it's good to see her looking so healthy and leaving all her troubles behind her. Make the most of these girly lunches now though, Nic - once the little one comes along, they'll be few and far between we reckon.

Today's Daily Shop - Super-Soft Spot Print Robe

With the clocks going back at the weekend meaning that the nights are drawing darker earlier and the winter weather well and truly setting in, we wouldn't blame you if you're forgoing meeting your boyfriend after work, going down the gym or doing anything at all that involves being outdoors for any longer than necessary in favour of rushing home to soak in a long hot bath and curling up on the sofa. And if you add this super-snug robe to the equation, well, there's no contest really - bye bye boyfriend, hello Corrie-fuelled hermit-ville. Hibernation never looked so appealing...

Star Style Latest - Kylie Takes Top Award

The Minogue sisters were out on the town together yet again last night. They attended the prestigious Music Industry Trust Award where Kylie became the first ever female in the event's 15-year history to take home the prize, which recognises musical excellence. Kylie, who has spent 20 years at the top of her game, was praised as “an icon of pop and style” who has continued to “reinvent, experiment and inspire”. In keeping with her iconic status, the popstrel wore a dazzling coffee coloured, crystal-encrusted gown, whilst younger sister Dannii opted for a shiny silver halterneck dress. Also at the event to celebrate Kylie's success was fellow starlet Sophie Ellis Bextor, who worked this season's gamine trend in a great black high-waisted skirt and button detail blouse. Our congratulations, Kyls!

Today's Daily Shop - Everything on Your "To Buy For" List at the ASOS.com Christmas Store!

With the first lot of lights appearing on the high street and just 57 days left until the big day itself, Christmas is well and truly on its way (ooh, we're excited!). And as we're subscribers to the view "it's never to early too start preparing", our shiny new Christmas store is now open. Updated with new gift goodies every day, you'll find everything you need to tick off the names on your "to buy for" list faster than you can say "Santa ain't got nothing on me" - and even pick up a little something for yourself whilst you're at it. Hey, you've been good all year, haven't you?

Star Style Latest - All This Weekend's Outifts

Never let it be said that Paris Hilton doesn't work hard - darned hard. The heiress and perennial party girl was at the Kitson store in LA this weekend to launch her latest fragrance, Can Can. That'll be her fourth perfume in just 3 years - click here for our favourtie of the lot, Just Me. Credit where credit's due, the woman is a workaholic - she just doesn't stop. In honour of the occasion, Paris went for a casual chic look in black skinny jeans worn with a great embellished satin top, a leopard print cardigan and a towering pair of pink heels. You've gotta love her dedication.

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, there was a thoroughly retro affair going down at the Louis Vuitton party at the Museum of Contemporary Art. Christina Ricci attended the event showing off her new 20's flapper girl style fringed bob, worn with the tightest of Little Black Dresses and gold shoes. It's not surprising she's gone for an old school look, as retro glamour is big news this season, having been seen on the A/W catwalks of Valentino, Dior and Gucci. On hand to add her own dose of retro glam was Dita Von Teese, who has been successfully working the look for years. The burlesque star also opted for an LBD in honour of the event, choosing to accessorise with matching red shoes, red clutch bag and her trademark red lipstick - and we reckon the result is red hot.

Today's Daily Shop - White Trash Charms and Playboy

If the words "Playboy" and "fashion" make you think of reality TV stars dressed in pink satin, think again. Playboy have joined forces with White Trash Charms, one of our favourite jewellery brands, to produce a fantastic range of jewellery featuring the Playboy bunny ears and White Trash Charms' trademark, erm, charms. And with Kelly Osbourne fronting the campaign, it's got the cool seal-of-approval. Go on, release your inner bunny...

Star Style Latest - Petra's Revenge

They say that breaking up is hard to do, and in Petra Nemcova's case the saying must be especially true. It was only earlier this year that the supermodel split with singer James Blunt, but almost immediately the cad was wining and dining some of the world's most desirable women (much to the disbelief of just about everyone we can think of). Credit to the Czech beauty though, if her ex's shenanigans have upset her she hasn't let it show - instead she'd bided her time and emerged victorious this month, as she landed herself a huge underwear contract, which will see her amazing body scantily clad and emblazoned on billboards the world over. Take that, Mr Blunt. And last night she delivered a second blow, by looking absolutely ravishing on the red carpet as she attended Conde Nast's annual Black Ball charity concert. Wearing a fantastic metallic silver dress complete with on-trend embellishment and strappy sandals, the model absolutely oozed gorgeousness - take that too, Blunty. Joining Petra on the red carpet was Gwen Stefani, also looking stunning in a navy blue dress cinched with a black waist belt and accessorised with her trademark red lipstick. Looking as fab of this, we're sure Gwen's hubby Gavin Rossdale won't be tempted to "do a Blunt" anytime soon.

Today's Daily Shop - Metallic Passport Holder

Heading off for some winter sun? We don't blame you - it's starting to get ever so cold. Make sure you do it in style with this great metallic passport holder (because passport burgundy is, like, soooo over). And if you're not fortune enough to have a winter break booked, we reckon it'd make a great stocking filler - you know you've started thinking about Christmas already!

Star Style Latest - Halle's Smokin' Look

As publicity stunts go, it would have been pretty extreme. A fire broke out in London's Leicester Square yesterday afternoon, just hours before Halle Berry was due to take to the red carpet metres from the site for the premiere of her new film - titled Things We Lost In The Fire. Oh, the irony. Fortunately, firefighters were able to quench the blaze and Ms. Berry arrived as scheduled, promising that she most definitely didn't start the fire. She kept things smokin' in another way though - the purple floor-length gown she wore wowed the crowd gathered to see her, and made the most of her pregnancy-enhanced cleavage (seriously, if ever there was an advert for the pros of being pregnant, this picture is most definitely it!).

Today's Daily Shop - Coloured Skinny Jeans

If you're not aware that bold, bright colour is one of this season's key trends, just where have you been hiding? From the catwalks to the streets, people are refusing to give in to winter's gloomy shadow, instead choosing to inject a jolt of colour into their outfits. One of the most on-trend ways to wear this trend is with a pair of coloured jeans - Sienna's already been spotted in a red pair, and Victoria Beckham has a bright blue pair hanging in her wardrobe. Or perhaps yellow is more your colour? With this great pair of skinnies available in all three colours, we'll let you decide...

Star Style Latest - Queen Cate

Cate Blanchett was Queen of the Red Carpet in London last night as she stepped out for the premiere of her new film Elizabeth: The Golden Age. A follow up to her 1998 film Elizabeth, the flick sees her reprise the role of English monarch which earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. Playing down claims that she may pick up the Oscar this time round, the 38-year old actress shone on the red carpet in an oh-so-regal strapless sequinned dress by Vivienne Westwood, complete with strappy silver sandals. And if Cate was Queen, Heather Graham was most definitely Princess of the Red Carpet, joining her fellow actress for the premiere wearing a classic white column dress and tumbling hair. Long may they reign!

Today's Daily Shop - Eyizera Phoenix Silk Jumpsuit

You may remember that earlier this year we launched Fame, Fortune & Fashion, a competition to find the UK's hottest new design talent, in association with London College of Fashion to celebrate their centenary year. Students were asked to design and make an outfit inspired by a 20th century icon, with the 12 finalists taking part in a catwalk show at LCF HQ. The standard was high, and the judges (who included Stefan Lindemann from Grazia and designer Danielle Scutt) found the desicion difficult, but in the end they agreed that Eyizera Phoenix desevered to take home the prize for best womenswear (click here to see the winning menswear outfit). And what a prize it was. Eyizera (pictured with her award below) has since spent 3 months working in the ASOS.com design team, and her winning outift - this great silk jumpsuit, inspired by Marc Bolan - is now available exclusively on-site. Sara Hassan, The Sunday Times Style Fashion Editor, has given it her style-seal of approval, so it's sure to sell-out quick - bag yours now and back new British talent.

Star Style Latest - Fearne's Perfect Winter Outfit

Ooh, this picture of the lovely Fearne Cotton has made us actually happy the weather is starting to turn cold and inspired new winter outfit after new winter outfit in our minds - she just looks so snug and warm, doesn't she? Braving the elements in London last night for a preview showing of new play A Night in November, Fearne struck the perfect balance between preventing turning blue and staying as stylish as we've come to expect in an eclectic mix of clothes. Teaming a green cowl neck jumper and faux fur jacket with a metallic skirt and black tights, the TV presenter-turned-fashionista finished the look with a pair of grey ankle boots and a knitted beanie hat - both essential accessories this season. Perfect wear for a night out in October.

Today's Daily Shop - Brogued Lace Front Ankle Boot

You'd be forgiven for thinking that fashion had looked to Torvill and Dean for inspiration this season, for skating-wear influences can be seen everywhere. First we had the full and flirty skating skirt, and now comes this fabulous pair of patent ankle boots, complete with hook lace-up fastenings more than a little reminiscent of old school skating boots. We won't be wearing them with sequinned leotards mind...

Star Style Latest - All This Weekend's Outfits

It may have been a disappointing sporting weekend (our condolences to the English footie team, rugby team and Lewis Hamilton), but at least our favorite celebs didn't fail us in the style stakes. Indeed, Paris Hilton more than impressed us with her fashion choices this weekend - wearing a pair of over-the-knee socks (which we predicted big things for only last week) with a pair of patent heels and a black embellished dress, the party girl joined a host of fellow celebs at LA's exclusive Chateau Marmont for the Rock & Republic dinner. Joining her at the party was American actress Rosario Dawson, who worked this season's bright block colour trend in a striking purple dress accessorised with a bright green Prada clutch bag.

Meanwhile, over in Rome, it was a case of quick change for the newly-single Reese Witherspoon who was in town for the city's 2nd annual film festival. Appearing on the red carpet for new film Rendition (in which she stars alongside the ever-so-yummy Jake Gyllenhaal) the starlet wowed the Italian crowd in a great red dress, only to change into a grey pencil dress, winter-friendly black tights and heels for the after-film press conference. Looking as good as this, it's not difficult to see why Mr. Gyllenhaal (allegedly) fell for the Southern girl's charms on-set...

We simply couldn't decide which colour - gold, blue, silver or black - we preferred this fabulous hard case clutch bag in, so we thought we'd show you them all. Perfect for the approaching party season, this is one bag we definitely won't be putting down on the grubby club floor to dance around...

Star Style Latest - Fashion Rocks

Last night saw the latest Fashion Rocks event take place in central London, with the biggest names in fashion and music combining to stage a spectacular catwalk-show-meets-rock-concert in aid of the Prince's Trust. Hosted by Hollywood royalty Uma Thurman and Samuel L. Jackson, the event continues to attract the crème de la crème of celeb-ville, with Timbaland, The Gossip and Razorlight amongst those to perform. Topping our best dressed list were Kate Moss who wore a stunning flapper dress encrusted with 60,000 Swarovski crystals, Jade Jagger who wore a great panelled and colour block mini dress, and Lily Allen who embraced this season's gothic look in a black chiffon dress with blood red lips. Joss Stone shocked the crowd by choosing a relatively demure (well, for Joss at least) hot pink pencil dress, whilst Lisa Snowdon shimmered in an ultra-short sequin shift dress and Coleen McLoughlin was definitely more "Wow" than "Wag" in a stunning floor-length black sequinned dress. Rock on, ladies.

Today's Daily Shop - Coast Layered Organza Bandeau Silk Dress

When it comes to finding something really fabulous to wear for that ultra-special occasion Coast is always high on our shopping list, so we're over the moon that their collection is now available online at ASOS.com. This great purple dress is made from pure silk and, with the party season looming, would make a great wardrobe addition - although that could be said about the whole collection, if we're honest...

Star Style Latest - Kelly Dances Around Town

Kelly Brook is certainly a busy little bee at the moment. On top of adding some Hollywood status to the new series of Strictly Come Dancing (which, can we just say, is our favourite pre-Saturday night out viewing at present), yesterday saw her dashing all around London town. First stop was Oxford Street, where she joined the plethora of stars to launch their own perfume (see our collection here). Sizzling in a hot pink dress, the starlet's self-titled scent is tipped to be a celeb-success story. Later that evening, she stepped out with long-term beau Billy Zane to attend the gala performance of Christian Slater's new West End stage show, Swimming with Sharks, in a classic black trench coat, on-trend coloured tights and grey round toe heels. We think her star is most definitely rising...

Today's Daily Shop - Chapeau Claudette Top Hat

Lou Doillon, daughter of Jane Birkin and bona fide French fashionista, first pioneered this microtrend at the Cannes Film Festival back in May - then Sienna got in on the act last month at the Toronto Film Festival whilst promoting her Twenty8Twelve line. Yes ladies, the top hat is one of this season's hottest accessories. The trick is knowing how to wear it (without ending up looking like a prize idiot, that is) - we suggest gamine clothes (lots of Peter Pan collars and bow tops), glossy hair and plenty of confidence.

Star Style Latest - Kylie's White Diamond

The Minogue sisters sparkled on the red carpet last night for the world premiere of Kylie's film, White Diamond. Kylie, the documentary-style film's subject, wore a dazzling figure-hugging, jewel-encrusted dress accessorised with, of course, white diamonds, whilst younger sister Dannii, currently judging on The X Factor, gave her big sis a run for her money in a floor-length, plunging V-neck frock with strappy sandals, sparkly clutch bag and the widest of grins. Shot during the star's triumphant Showgirl comeback tour (which was originally cut short due to her cancer diagnosis), the film features an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at Kylie backstage, creating a leopard cat suit with design pals Dolce & Gabbana and dealing with the heartbreak of splitting with long-term beau Olivier Martinez. Shown exclusively at 39 Vue cinemas across the country "for one night only", we hear there's talk of a DVD release in December. Add it to your Christmas list now...

ASOS Wears...

This Week's Fashionista - Ellie Ward, Assistant Buyer, Women's Tops

Having won the "Best Dressed" award at the ASOS.com summer party, it's no surprise to hear that Ellie's unique style is envied throughout the office. Her skill lies in her ability to take the simplest of items and put them together in a winning way. Take this outfit for example - the black scoop neck top, black tights and woven tan belt are all wardrobe basics. She adds a fashion-forward edge with a denim high-waisted skirt and finishes the look with a great pair of knee-high boots (essential footwear this winter), plenty of silver bangles and her trademark full, glossy fringe. Her top tip of the season? “Nail polish” she says. “It’s the easiest way of updating your look without forking out loads – I’m wearing Nails Inc's China Town at the moment”. One thing’s for sure, she's putting up one hell of a fight in defence of her title.

Today's Daily Shop - Ribbed Over Knee Socks

Trust Sarah Jessica Parker to go and kick start a trend. Not since the early 1990s when the movie Clueless first entered our fashion consciousness have we considered wearing over knee socks for any reason other than our attendance at one of those terribly brilliant "Back to School" parties. However - not one but two pictures of SJP have emerged from the set of Sex and the City: The Movie wearing the fashion throwbacks and making them look good. More than good - absolutely amazing. The pair below is available in black, navy and grey, but they're just one of a collection of fab over knee socks currently on site. Simply add a skirt, shoe boots and cosy winter jacket for the perfect autumn outfit. Come on, ladies - if SJP can, you can too!

Star Style Latest - ELLE's 'Women In Hollywood'

ELLE Magazine held its annual 'Women In Hollywood' event at The Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles last night, and drew in a bevy of A-listers, all turned out in their finest. Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Alba dressed up their LBD's with striking shoes, while Jennifer Connelly and Kate Bosworth worked the room in gorgeous, light coloured shifts. Just lovely.

Psst - ASOS Sale Now On!

We all love shopping, and it's a proven fact that shopping for a bargain doubles the retail therapy. It's a simple equation really, more gorgeous garb for less cash = twice the fun and none (ok, less) of the guilt. So go on, have a rummage, there are tons of gems nestling in the sale that'll be gone faster than you can say 'Quick, click!' Sienna's dress for £35? Oh go on then. All Saints top for £25? Well it is a Monday after all. Antik Batik at almost half price? It'd be rude not to. And they're off...

Star Style Latest - LA Ladies Go Back To Black

On Saturday night Jessica and Ashlee Simpson partied at a bash thrown by Ashlee's chap - Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy - at the glamorous GQ Lounge in Los Angeles. But forget that fussy, Rachel Zoe inspired look (all pattern, accessories and colour), the sisters showed that LA can do minimalist too - in classic little black dresses. Nicky Hilton joined in, giving the look the sartorial stamp of approval in an effortless ensemble of a vest, black cardigan and black leggings. Simple, but most certainly effective.

Trend Alert! Special - Paris Fashion Week Round-Up

And then there was Paris. The last stop on fashion's whirlwind world tour. As usual, it didn't disappoint...

EMERGING TRENDS

* Florals - Romance (yes, again), but this time they said it with flowers. At Balenciaga peony, rose, gladioli, violet and gardenia prints flourished, while at Galliano it was all roses, chiffons and light-as-air softness. Stella McCartney and Christian Lacroix also got in on the act. Glorious.

* Stripes - If florals aren't your bag, other prints were still prevalent. Particularly visible were stripes at Chanel and Dior, and a good smattering of animal print elsewhere.

SPOTTED FRONT ROW

Dita Von Teese, Victoria Beckham, Kanye West, Courtney Love, Kirsten Dunst and Chloe Sevigny all made appearances on the last leg of the fashion marathon, with the Chloe show proving to be the big celebrity pull. They came, they saw, the quaffed champagne. Until September daahlings...

Star Style Latest - Lily and Gwyneth do City Chic

One night, one city, two very different (but equally fabulous) ensembles. Last night Lily Allen was out at current It-club Punk (where Agyness Deyn, Alexa Chung, Alex Turner, Mary-Kate Olsen and Kelly Osbourne have all partied this week), clad in a typically quirky and totally cool printed dress and towering wedges. Meanwhile, eternally elegant New York native Gwyneth Paltrow was at Aspinall's of Mayfair displaying her oh-so-chic yummy mummy credentials in a classic black trench, embellished dress and coloured hosiery. A gold star for both of them.

Today's Daily Shop - Pinko One Shoulder Wet Look Ruched Dress

Woweee. Now there's a fabulous dress if we ever saw one. Encompassing autumn/winter's huge leather trend (see Christopher Kane's catwalk show - below left), this wet look lovely is so achingly high fashion that you won't be able to leave the house without getting papped, or at least enter the party (fashionably late of course) without some footballer attempting to whisk you off to the VIP room for a glass of bubbly. Good stuff.

Star Style Latest - Kate's Haircare Range

Kate Moss came out to play last night for the launch of her new line of hair care products with stylist pal James Brown. The yummy sounding ingredients - nettle, watercress, white tea, wheatgerm and Murumuru butter, as well as the persuasive powers of Kate's own glorious blonde barnet - had us sold pretty much from the word go. And ok, the photo call location - Boots - wasn't exactly glamorous, but as usual Miss Moss was able to light up the room with her fabulous fashion choices. Pussybows, waistcoats, wide legged trousers and platform shoes are all top of our list of must-have items for autumn/winter. Good hair and good clothes, now that takes some doing.

Oh, and you get the gorgeous hot pink styler (fairy godmother to every hair dilemma), a heat resistant carry and roll mat, and a "how to style" dvd. Yes, thou really shalt surrender to the new pink.

Star Style Latest - Olsen Twins Launch Fashion Range

As well as being 'the eleventh richest women in entertainment' and successful actresses, those Olsen twins have serious pulling power. The celebs came out in force last night to attend their dinner at Harvery Nichols, marking the launch of the twins' new clothing range 'The Row.' Guests included Amy Winehouse, model Lily Cole and celebrity pals Alexa Chung and Peaches Geldof. All of course, clad in far-too-cool-to-try-hard casual dresses. 'Oh this old thing? I just threw it on...'

Victoria Beckham was in Paris for a photo shoot yesterday, and boy did she look fabulous. With tousled 'bed hair,' bright red lipstick and smouldering eyes, and clad in black skinnies, super-high-shocking-pink shoes and leather gloves (what did we tell you about them?), Mrs B was a serious traffic stopper.

Star Style Latest - Leonardo's Lady In Paris

This month's Tatler cover girl and Leonardo Di Caprio's other half, Israeli model Bar Rafaeli, was spotted gallivanting around Paris in the autumn sunshine this weekend. Bar, who began modelling when she was just eight months old (after mother Tsipi spotted her potential), was in town to take part in Paris Fashion Week's Spring/Summer 2008 ready-to-wear shows. Criticised in her home country for skipping her mandatory military service, Bar's services to fashion can't be doubted. Even when off duty she's sporting this season's staples - leather jacket, black leggings and boots... even if she was sans the ultimate accessory - the lovely Leonardo.

Trend Alert! Special - Milan Fashion Week Round-Up

The Fashion Week journey continues, with Milan wrapping up at the weekend. The arguable style capital of the world certainly put on a good show, as we reveal...

EMERGING TRENDS

* Romance (again) - pre-empted by the London shows, Milan continued the emerging romance theme. The Dolce & Gabbana show featured dresses made of reams of delicate gauze in the prettiest of hues, decorated with oversized bows and flower motifs. Even the likes Roberto Cavalli got in on the act - gone was his trademark full-on glitz and glamour, with feminine chiffon frocks in their place.

* Graphic Shapes - there seemed to be optical illusions incorporated into the shows at Emilio Pucci and Fendi. Heading up Pucci, Matthew Williamson went wild with an assortment of angular and intricate shapes in the brightest, whilst Karl Lagerfeld at Fendi went for circles within circles within even more circles in monochrome and pastels on maxi dresses, skirts and belted tunic tops alike.

SPOTTED FRONT ROW

* Naomi Campbell and Tara Reid at Cavalli

* Anna Wintour and Winona Ryder at Alberta Feretti

* Elle MacPherson at Belstaff

FASH PACK'S FAVOURITES AND GOSSIP

* Sienna Guillory played role reversal with the paps - hanging out with Rosario Dawson front row at Moschino, she was approached by one of the photographers, only to be asked if she'd mind taking his and Rosario's picture! Fair play to the girl, she happily obliged.

Leather in all its guises was a massive hit on the catwalks for autumn/winter 2007 (thanks to a certain Christopher Kane), and at Paris Fashion Week's current spring/summer 2008 shows the trend is showing no signs of slowing down - take a look at Chanel's oh-so-gorgeous leather driving gloves below. As usual you can rely on ASOS.com to tick every style box this season (and even next season... hey, don't say we never do anything for you) - with a similar pair of lovelies (below left)  just a click away.

Star Style Latest - Mrs Beckham and Mr Cavalli

When you're one of the world's most glamorous fashion designers, who do you enlist to help open your fabulous new store? One of the world's most glamorous women, of course. Which explains why Victoria Beckham was on hand to add a good dollop of glitz to the grand opening of Roberto Cavalli's new store in Paris last night. And she didn't disappoint - dressed in the tiniest of sparkly black dresses and the highest of strappy heels, Mrs Beckham was the epitome of high-gloss glamour. Très Cavalli, lady.

Ooh la la! Take a peek at these super-sexy back seam fishnet tights - very fitting for this season's 1940s theme. Back in the day (or until 1945 at least, during the war) ladies missed their rationed stockings so much that they took to drawing black lines up the back of their legs with liquid eyeliner to give the illusion that they were wearing them (or so our nanna tells us). Give fashion thanks then that you suffer no such fate, and slip your legs into a pair of these...

Star Style Latest - Fearne Cottons on to a Good Look

Fearne Cotton clearly knows a good look when she sees one. So fond was she of the outfit she wore to the BAFTAs earlier this year (4 months and 22 days ago, to be precise), she decided it deserved a bit of a reprise. Stepping out last night for the London premiere of Michelle Pfeiffer's new film, Stardust, the TV lovely wore an outfit that more than echoed her BAFTAs appearance. Purple dress? Check. Black tights? Check. Contrasting blue ankle strap shoes? Check, check, check. Fearne being the queen of quirky cool, the look totally works on her, and we're happy to report she did update some elements - gone was the porcelain pale skin, with a golden tan in its place, and the bold red lipstick was replaced by a slick of clear lip gloss. If ever there was an endorsement for the old adage "know what works for you and stick with it", this is most definitely it.

Star Style Latest - Alba So Chic

While filming in Vancouver, Canada, yesterday, a certain Miss Alba gave us all a lesson in dressed down chic. Never one to succumb to OTT, flash-in-the-pan fashion fads, 26 year old Jess is consistently elegant and stylish. She keeps her accessories simple, her jeans bootcut and her coats classic (like this lovely trench), and boy does it work. Especially when it comes to gorgeous boyfriend Cash Warren, who she met on the set of movie The Fantastic Four - they were recently spotted shopping for baby shoes. Hmm... step aside Christina and Nicole, could there be a new yummy mummy in town?

Star Style Latest - Peaches Pops Up Again

She keeps doing this, does Peaches Geldof. We won't see her for weeks on end, and then all of a sudden BAM! There she is in another adorable outfit, reminding us all why she's our number one teen queen - like when she "just happened" to be on the catwalk at the PPQ show during London Fashion Week. Last night was another such occasion, when she popped out with boyfriend Fred Les for a spot of dinner, wearing this great outfit - the contrasting Peter Pan collar on her black dress is so fashion-forward at the minute, and we love that she keeps the rest of the outfit simple - grey jacket, black tights and gorgeous jewelled pumps. No doubt she'll lie low again for a while now (is she back at college or something?) - but we look forward to seeing her next winning outfit...

Available in black, silver and our favourite, gold, be quick if you want one - this consistent ASOS.com favourite is sure to sell out quickly.

Star Style Latest - National Movie Awards

A little bit of Hollywood came to London last night, as the inaugural National Movie Awards took place at Royal Festival Hall and drew a rather impressive celebrity crowd. On hand to up the celebrity-ante was Christian Slater (currently treading the boards in Swimming with Sharks at the Vaudeville theatre), the Oscar-winning Jamie Foxx (who appeared on Friday Night with Jonathon Ross last week), and a glowing Mischa Barton, who looked lovely in a floor length, heavily-embellished dress. We see she's still got those dark locks, which she matched her nails to with a glossy black varnish. The big winner of the night was Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, which took home three awards including best actor for Daniel Radcliffe and Best Actress for Emma Watson. To collect her award, the 17-year old wore a very now light blue shirt dress belted at the waist and paired with navy court shoes. These girls take home our style prize too.
