Snap Up Miss Selfridge's £85 Limited Edition Dress

After watching Penélope Cruz and Rachel McAdams swish down the Cannes Film Festival 2011 red carpet in their sheer embellished Marchesa gowns, we’ve decided we want a high street version of our own. This limited-edition number from Miss Selfridge ticks all the right boxes. With its sheer underlay (no peekaboo mishaps) and Marchesa-style tattoo embroidery, it’s a wardrobe winner – and all for under a hundred quid.

Kate Moss launches new Mango collection in Paris

As the new face of the Spanish high street label, Moss joined acclaimed photographer Terry Richardson at a fashion show in Paris to launch the A/W11 collection. The model looked chic (although a little tired) in a signature white blazer, bejewelled top and satin trousers.

Moss shot the accompanying ad campaign for the new Mango collection alongside Richardson in Paris last month. As the new face of Mango, the model follows in the footsteps of Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz, who have previously starred the brand's campaigns.

Moss's appearance at the Mango launch came after she returned to her hometown of Croydon to shoot the new Rimmel make-up advert. The star wore a red mini dress as she was airlifted on to the roof of the Whitgift shopping centre's multi-storey car park via helicopter for the sunset shoot.

There's less than two months to go before the model marries long-time boyfriend Jamie Hince. The couple are planning to wed on July 2 at an undisclosed location, but sources have claimed it will be near her £2million Cotswolds home.

Moss is said to have contacted a string of rocker friends to perform at the wedding, which has been billed as a 'mini-Glasto'. It is reported she has asked The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Clash, Primal Scream, Kanye West, Duran Duran and Beth Ditto to perform.

Penélope Cruz Steps Out In Another Mesmerising Dress

Over the past week we’ve fallen head over heels for Madrid’s hottest export Penélope Cruz thanks to her uh-mazing Pirates Of The Caribbean wardrobe! From fabulous fishtail frocks to smouldering hot pencil dresses, this lady can just about pull off any dress style or length. Last night she continued her whistle-stop tour for the new Pirates Of The Caribbean film and hit Germany in a striking red Armani Privé dress that almost looked like liquid, showing off her fab post-baby figure to perfection. Forget Johnny Depp, if Penélope Cruz keeps upping the style ante like this she could become fashion’s leading lady! SD

LACE - Fashion Trend 2011. How to wear lace.

How To Wear Lace...
Lace is very womanly  and it never really goes out of fashion, as lace clothing can be found among chain- store clothing rails throughout the year. Lace will become a popular fashion, and featured in many clothing shopes. When it's not so popular, lace becomes a classic and still remains in the fashion market.

Lace clothing gives a chic look, and can look beautiful without exertion.`But there's a few risks in wearing lace clothing, for example you can look too Gothic.

How you should wear lace.
You should avoid wearing jewelery with lace, as this will probably look over the top. Wear it with minimum jewelery. If you choose wearing lace wear it with stud earrings, or a gold bangle. Pearls are not good with lace.

Go for fine lace, rather than large chunky patterns. On the subject of hems, another one to avoid is a jagged, uneven cut. Medieval like fashion looks very silly on most people!

Never wear white stockings, unless your going to a dress-up party! Black lace stockings are hot with skirts in winter, but don't ever wear them with a denim skirt. Denim skirt plus black lace stockings is running the risk of looking trailer-trash. Avoid bright coloured skirts too. Black stockings will always go best with a black skirt. If your wear black stockings with a black skirt, go for a different coloured top, to avoid looking Gothic.

Lace panels on clothing is a good alternative to full lace garments.

If a clothing item is made completely of lace, wear it down with simple clothing. Plain, bold colours are good, all colours go with black, but brown. It's not really a good look to wear lace with clothing that is patterned or printed.

Be careful about wearing denim with lace. A garment with minimal lace, and particularly white lace, goes great with denim. But don't take it any further, like wearing a top made of completely lace, with a pair of jeans. It's a sort of stereotypical look, that doesn't look that nice.

Watch the fashion shapes that fashion designers suggest us this season:

How To Wear Boot. Boots and Booties Trends.

The most important girl's accessory is her shoes. The most fashionable and trendy shoes are boots. Boots are anything from ankle to knee to over-the-knee. So how we should wear them?

Above the knee Boots
Over the knee boots are a main fashion trend and have been seen stomping on pavement all over the city. When it comes to 2011 fashion trends we’re facing a year of subtlety and tradition. And while many of us will be wearing classical silhouettes and subdued colours we’ll all be in need of making them pop; after all, doesn’t every fashioniser want to stand out from the crowd? For women that ’stand out’ look is just about to get a whole lot easier thanks to the hottest trend for shoes in 2011: thigh high boots.

It looks great with over tights, long socks, jeans or pants.  For a look that's all glam and no trash, stick with leather or suede and pair boots with mini dresses, leggings, skinny pants or shorts.

Cowboy Boots
Cowboy boots refer to a specific style of riding boot. Cowboy boots are prefered by celebrities such as Brittany Spears, Jessica Simpson and others. Cowboy boots are normally made from cowhide leather but are also sometimes made from "exotic" skins such as alligator or snake.

Low heeled Boot
Women who value comfort as well as style will appreciate the emergence of the low heeled riding boot. You can pair with jeans and wear on an everyday basis and still be hot and trendy in long sweater. They are also great for pairing with skirts when you have to do a lot of walking.

Boots with fur collars
These boots give a new meaning to warmth and comfort. From real fur to realistic looking fakes, these fur collars will add style and flare to boot designs in winter and spting.

Bold colors Boots
Bright colours is the Fashion Trend of Spring 2011. Put your blacks, grays, browns and boring monotones boots in the back of your closet and wake up your spirit by adding some excitement to your wardrobe. Boots come in all colors. You will get orange, red, blue, purple and even pink. Some have bold prints to go with the bright colors, and for the not so daring, some are a little simpler.

Boots with buckles
For those who love the funky look, boots with buckles are the best alternative. Whether its night party or a friend get together you look great in these kind of boots.

You always have so many options of boots for different season. So just go for shopping and pick the best matching boot which adds fashion and comfort to your look.

Refresh Your Winter Wardrobe With Fashion Must-Haves

Refresh your winter wardrobe with the most fashionable clothes, styles and prints of this season.

Animal prints


Neutral attires will look new and fresh with "wild" prints. Winter is the best time for leopard dresses. Wear it with a jacket at the office (Emanuel Ungaro fashion show) and without it in the evening like Claire Danes does.

Bright colors


If you tired of pastel shades, pay attention to bright colors of precious stones. Like ruby-coloured dress by Jil Sander or amethyst dress like Carey Mulligan wears.

Puffy skirts


Dresses with puffy skirts look very womanly and elegant. Wear it with cardigans (like at Louis Vuitton fashion show). Gemma Arterton wears a dresses with puffy skirt with court shoes and handbag.

Check



Check returns to fashion every winter. Just do as the actress Krysten Ritter does.

Shorts


At Tommy Hilfiger fashion show light-coloured shorts pair with black jacket and black panty hose. Actress Olivia Palermo wears tweed suit with shorts.
