Why Oscar red carpet fashion went low key in 2008

February 25, 2008 Celebrity

This was a year of understated glamour, subtle embellishments and low key dresses at the Oscars. If there were trains, they floated rather than swooshed, colours were muted and breasts were contained. These were dresses for actresses rather than models, and what a refreshing change this made. Sure, some commentators called this year’s red carpet […]

The Oscars: Red Carpet Fashion 2008

February 22, 2008 Celebrity

This is the first time that I’ve been in the US for the Oscars, and I’m amazed by the levels of excitement. I guess the time difference in England means it’s difficult for people to get worked up about a show that happens in the middle of the night. Back in London, I’m one of […]

Celebrity spawn

February 14, 2008 Celebrity

Christ Giles gets my goat. He continues to show in a space too small to fit in the majority of the press, yet fills his front row with fashion irrelevancies.

February 1, 2008 Celebrity

It’s been strange being back in London, but not really feeling well enough to do much more than eat my way through a Crème Egg mountain and play with the hound. I’ve seen relatively few friends, confining myself to the odd supper or lunch in people’s homes, with just a couple of outings. Last week […]

Giorgio Armani Privé show this evening

January 21, 2008 Celebrity

It’s a sign of the times that when a fashion house shows a new collection, the first act of the in-house press office is to email journalists images of the celebrity attendees in hope of making the next day’s papers. Forget the clothes, or the models in the clothes. Those pictures are no longer enough […]

Baby bump camouflage

January 8, 2008 Celebrity

So, Nicole Kidman is pregnant: that’ll explain why she did an entire indoors press junket at the over-heated Waldorf Astoria back in late November, wrapped in an enormous black wool winter coat. I was sitting inches away from her as she promoted her new flick Margot at the Wedding and, eejit that I am, it […]
