Ooops! Jamelia and Victoria 'rock' up to Swarovski Fashion Rocks in the the same frock!


It's a celeb's worst nightmare. You (or your management / record company / production company / rich partner) have spent a fortune getting your look absolutely perfect for one of the biggest nights in the social calendar. All your peers are flocking to the event and it's the perfect moment for you to shine. Then you turn round on the red carpet and spot another less credible 'sleb wearing the same frock as you. Poor old Jamelia...it happened to her last night at the Swarovski Fashion Rocks event, when leggy blonde former Playboy Playmate of the Year Victoria Silverstedt turned up in the same corsted pink satin dress as her. I have just one question for you all. Who wore it best?

Swarovski Fashion Rocks: Kate, Coleen and the babes in black


The more pictures I see of Kate Moss's new hair, the more tempted I am to go running to the hairdressers with a pic squealing 'make me look exactly like this'. There's no denying Kate can work the red carpet. With smoky eyes, a fringed silver dress, a cute clutch and Louboutin Mary-Janes she was the epitome of laid-back cool at the Swarovski Fashion Rocks for the Princes Trust event last night. Also turning on the glam was Coleen McLoughlin. I never thought a footballer's girlfriend would make it onto my best-dressed list, but in her sequinned column dress she looked perfect. I might have added a good bra, but the swept back hair, simple jewellery and black clutch are just subtle enough to show off the sparkle of the dress. That's one nil to the WAGs!
See over the cut for the best LBD's of the night...



The coolest celeb & designer team of the night had to be Roisin Murphy and the absolutely beautiful Frida Gianinni for Gucci. Roisin went for a retro maxi dress with a jacket and dirty gold accessories, while Frida showed off legs that's make La Moss jealous in a one-shoulder mini.
Teeny 'Clothes Show' presenter Louise Redknapp and statuesque model Yasmin Le Bon buddied up for photos in their contrasting LBDs. While Lou went for dramatic volume with her 80s-inspired puffy strapless mini (and swarovski studded clutch, natch) Yasmin went for something more simple in shape but sparklier in embellishment. Which do you prefer?

Swarovski Fashion Rocks for the Princes Trust: Sparkle, Purple & Pink on Uma, Lily, Nicole, Lisa and co...


Unsurprisingly, purple was one of the key colour choices at Swarovski Fashion Rocks last night. Nicole 'Pussycat Dolls' Scherzinger was there to perform on behalf of Valentino, so she of course was dressed in the designer's own floor length purple gown, changing later into a shorter number in a similar shade to perform. Joely Richardson was there to lend her support to the to the Princes Trust in a more romantic take on the season's key colour. See below for more fashion from the front row...



Joss Stone, performing on the night for Calvin Klein, got flashbulbs popping in hot pink body-con, showing off a freakishly svelte figure. Please tell me she's not going the way of Amy Winehouse and co...? Lisa Snowdon meanwhile went for the opposite silhouette in her slouchy coral sequinned mini-shift. I'm not sure how I feel about this one, what do you guys reckon?

Show presenter Uma Thurman predictably wore a dress covered in Swarovski crystals. And as if all that sparkle wasn't enough, she added even more oomph by going for something see-through. Well, if I had that bod I would too. Lily Allen on the other hand, wore Chanel to sing and to walk the red carpet. Her organza gown is a tad mumsy, especially with that swept-up Audrey hair, but I think the red lippy and gorgeous patent clutch save it for her.

Uma Thurman and Kate Moss at Swarovski Fashion Rocks in London

On October 18th at the Royal Albert Hall in London, the international glitterati of the fashion and film worlds convened for the Swarovski Fashion Rocks gala.


The charity was co-hosted by Uma Thurman and Samuel L. Jackson. Works from major designers were shown along with performances from heavy-hitters in the music world including Alicia Keys and Joss Stone. The jewelry being worn by the celebs has been made available online.

Hollywood Stunner
Uma Thurman is no stranger to the red carpet, but the previous evening her attire stunned onlookers. Not so much with its’ color or design, but the skin show not normally associated with her. Thurman graced the show in a glimmering black Valentino couture gown and polished updo. It wasn’t too low-cut, but the fabric left almost nothing to the imagination. Somehow we never thought a prescription for lingerie would be necessary for the thirty-something looker, who, apart from tonight always radiates at black-tie nights. As to her motives for wearing it, perhaps she felt the need to prove she’s still beautiful, in which case, case closed!

Designer Kate
Kate Moss showed in a short-hemmed flapper frock, reminiscent of the 1920’s era. The dress was a replica of one she donned on her first night out with actor Johnny Depp in ’94 and is for auction by TopShop on Ebay, benefiting the Prince’s Trust. It retails for approximately 40,000 pounds sterling and is adorned with 20,000 hand-cut Swarovski crystals. The dress, Kate’s uber-blonde hair worn down and the black Mary Jane heels made for a glammed-up entrance.
Not to mention a big success for a noble cause. Well designed, Kate!
