Kate Middleton in Matthew Williamson - 'African Cats' Premiere

The Duchess of Cambridge attended the premiere of 'African Cats' in London with her husband.

She chose a grey Matthew Williamson Pre-Fall 2012 dress with a bejewelled neckline and sleeves and a peplum around the waist.

The turquoise detail on the dress really added interest to it; Kate completed the look with a navy clutch and pumps.

Olivia Palermo In Matthew Williamson - 2011 British Fashion Awards

Olivia Palermo attended the British Fashion Awards as a presenter, in a Fall 2011 dress by British designer (obviously) - Matthew Williamson.

Olivia's love affair with fringed dresses continues, in this intricate tribal-print dress with fringed tiers and embellishments.

She wore the look with a sleek updo, smokey eyes, a blue clutch and Topshop booties.  

Her look is spot on, but that clutch could have stayed at home.

Sienna Miller in Matthew Williamson

Being Matthew Williamson's muse definitely helps.

Sienna Miller attended a benefit in London wearing a Spring 2012 look from his collection.

The plumed, coral coloured concoction looked beautiful, and Sienna was radiant!

Simple suede pumps in a taupe colour and a back box clutch made sure her dress was the focus point.

IIFA Awards 2011

The annual iifa awards took place in Toronto, Canada during the weekend and I have to say, the clothes didn't disappoint (overly), no disasters, at the very least.

Sonakshi Sinha wore an Alexander McQueen sheath, which has been seen on Kim Kardashian before; it's a good choice for her but I'm not loving those ankle-strap wedges - too casual.

She went for shimmer next, in a wrap dress - again, looks great on her but the hairstyle is too severe and the flower makes her look like a flamenco dancer almost.


Neha Dhupia nailed it on both nights; the polka-dot print shouldn't really work on the green carpet but this Lanvin dress looks so very elegant!

She later wore a chain-detail, cream-coloured Catherine Malandrino dress that she wore with the right hair and make up.


Dia Mirza had a pattern - maxi-style dresses with floral prints and a soft hair-do which is fine but I wish she'd had some fun with her fashion!

The Blumarine dress worked well on her but the second Matthew Williamson didn't really wow me.


Priyanka Chopra stuck to Manish Malhotra - the velvet is horrendous but at least the white overpowers it.

Shilpa Shetty also went with a shimmery black gown, hers a Dolce & Gabbana - but the gaudy necklace and shoes are a turn off.


Anuskha Sharma looked absolutely lovely in a Sabyasachi saree, flawless.

1. Blake Lively

Blake Lively has seen a meteoric rise in Hollywood, especially in 2010. She stars as a lead actress on one of the most talked about shows (Gossip Girl), dabbled in top movies and is highly dubbed as fashion's "it" girl. Oh, and I guess being in the good books of Anna Wintour (US Vogue Editor-in-chief) and designers like Karl Lagerfeld doesn't hurt at all. To add to this, she has a killer body, gorgeous hair and gets to date the cutest actors. But she's on this list because of her varied and interesting clothing choices - she's famously known to not have a stylist and if that's true, then double kudos because this girl has some fashion sense. From Chanel to Matthew Williamson, Lively has the potential to make anything & everything work, here's hoping that she'll keep it up in 2011!

The British Plate

British actresses, Sienna Miller, Keira Knightley and Carey Mulligan did the Brits proud in their respective sartorial choices. It was great to see Keira Knightley back in action, and she certainly made waves, with her new haircut, a chic bob which she debuted at Paris Fashion Week earlier. I loved the way she paired two prints together, and those burgundy heels are yummy. Carey Mulligan also wore colour, in the form of a chartreuse knee-length frock with black lining. It was a no-fuss look but still stood out. Sienna Miller went all out glam at her event, wearing a gown from one of her signature designers, Matthew Williamson. I love the bright colour and the shoulder detail, but a minor quip would be the creases throughout the length of the gown.
