Last Year London Fashion Week, The Bests: Nichlos Kirkwood

Nicholas Kirkwood Spring/ Summer 2012 Shoe Collection

You might remember Nicholas Kirkwood’s shoes for their strong colors and daring shapes. For his Spring/ Summer 2012 range the designer went for something less eccentric and made the collection softer and more delicate.

Nicholas Kirkwood’s inspiration for his Spring/ Summer 2012 shoe collection were the florals and tropical brights. Being on a vacation on Bali in August the designer realized he wanted to do something less edgy and aggressive. What he wanted were the softer hues, delicate patterns and comfier designs.
Nicholas Kirkwood commented:

[It] was my first holiday since starting the business seven years ago. And I came back wanting to do something more colorful and a little softer than before.”

The collection is indeed much softer than Nicholas Kirkwood’s previous ranges. It includes a variety of styles featuring sexy pumps, sandals with chunky heels and very comfortable flats.

Despite the fact Nicholas Kirkwood liked the new twist in his Spring/ Summer 2012 shoe collection I wasn’t that much impressed. I came to know the designer for his deep colors and daring shapes. And I still like him for that. I hope it was just a short break in his job, simply a more relaxed approach to work. And I do hope that he soon returns to that great energy he used to put into his creations which made me a true fan of his.

What with the Big Hairdos (Heads), First It Was Cherly Cole And Now Sarah Jessica Parker?

Big hair IS back:

When Cheryl Cole stepped out sporting a big bouffant making her debut as a U.S. X Factor judge, many people questioned why she had overdone the hairspray.

But it seems that Cheryl was simply the first to try out the latest trend and the large hair look has been further championed by Sarah Jessica Parker on the red carpet last night.

The Sex And The City actress arrived at the Robin Hood Foundation annual benefit in New York last night sporting an extremely volumized hairdo.

Hair flare: Sarah stepped out with her over volumised hair just a day after Cheryl had showed off a similar look for her first day as an X Factor USA judge in L.A.

The fashionista, who is well-known for trying out the most current and sometimes controversial trends, arrived at the event in a simply royal purple floor-length gown.

The actress, often found front row come fashion week, teamed the dress with a matching shawl and silver peep-toe heels letting the hair speak for itself with almost no jewellery save for a pair of simple drop earrings.

In her hand Sarah carried a contrasting turquoise and beige hard clutch bag as she arrived at the event held at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.

The event, which raised $47.4million to fight poverty, saw a whole host of famous faces enjoying a lavish dinner followed by a performance from Lady Gaga.

The event attracted the likes of Gisele Bundchen, who was recently named the highest paid model in the World and American socialite Melanie Trump, both of whom could no doubt afford to flash the cash for the good cause.

With both Cheryl and Sarah’s seal of approval on the big haired bouffant no doubt hairspray stocks will be diminished as followers try to take on the huge hair trend.

She and new boyfriend Eduardo Cruz enjoyed a romantic break to Mexico just last month but the lovebirds couldn’t resist heading off for another mini-break together yesterday.

The pair were seen sharing a number of lingering kisses together as they dropped off their luggage at the at the check in desk.

Eva, who has undertaken a promotional tour for her new cookbook Eva’s Kitchen of late, was dressed in a pair of pale teal trousers, a long-sleeved white blouse and wrapped up with a large cappuccino-coloured pashmina.

But ever primped and preened to perfection it wasn’t all about comfort for Eva who was sporting a pair of cute peep-toe heels showing off a flash of coral nail colour which also matched her manicure.

Eduardo,26, who is Penelope Cruz’s younger brother, was dressed in a pair of jeans, a grey striped T-shirt and a olive green baseball cap.

'Things are getting very serious between Eva and Eduardo,' a source tells America's People magazine. 'They're really happy.'

It's us honest: Eva and Eduardo were happy to oblige with security staff and the actress-turned chef flashed the guard her stunning smile

And she has made no secret of her desire to start a family, a feeling which might have been heightened after organising her close friend Victoria Beckham’s baby shower over the weekend.

'[I want to] have kids and be a mom,' she said while promoting her book Eva's Kitchen on the Rachael Ray Show earlier this month.

Eva split from her husband of four years, Tony Parker, in November amid allegations he had been unfaithful.

While she was heartbroken over the divorce, she insists she wishes the basketballer well.

'So many people want me to hate him and destroy him, but I don't want to,' she has said. 'I want him to be happy. He's not a bad person.'

'I do believe in forgiving and forgetting. There was a reason we were together. I just want to hold on to the good times.'

Sexy Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Shows Her Best Assets Off, Her Long Legs In a denim Hotpants, while Walking to The Shop With Jason Statham.

She's just been voted the sexiest woman in the world by both FHM and Maxim - and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley showed yesterday that even dressed down, she still looks ridiculously good.

The Victoria's Secret supermodel and actress was out for a stroll yesterday with boyfriend Jason Statham, 43, near their home in Los Angeles and was more than happy to get her legs out in tiny denim hotpants.

The 24-year-old blonde beauty was also wearing taupe suede ankle boots with a matching studded bag and a simple white jumper and she and Jason shopped for sunglasses at Oliver Peoples.

However, Rosie revealed that there's one bit of her body that she's more than happy to keep under wraps - her feet.

Rosie has taken over from Megan Fox in the Transformers franchise - and claims shooting the movie, directed by Michael Bay, has ruined her size six and a half feet.

She told website Showbiz Spy: 'I had to run in heels for seven months! I am an expert at it now.

'There is an ongoing joke about how Michael Bay ruined my feet because they are just battered after running in heels, but it was great and we did do all of the action and everything was fantastic.

'To get my hands dirty, and there was a lot of sweat and dirt and it was hot and a lot of fun. The stunts are something I really loved doing, but my feet didn’t.'

Happy couple: The film star pair have been together a year and still seem blissfully happy together

No wonder she was wearing comfy flat boots yesterday...

However, tattered toes doesn't seem to have put off her many fans, not least boyfriend Jason.

Last week, Rosie topped the Maxim magazine Hot 100 list as well as the FHM 100 Sexiest Women In The World list.

But the modest Devon born-star, who turned 24 last month, said that she didn't believe that she'd won the Maxim accolade when told.

She told U.S. TV show: 'I had to ask if there was a mistake that had been made. When I was told there wasn’t, it was a huge honour.'

She celebrated both wins at the Met Gala in New York last week with in a beautiful Burberry Prorsum cherry pink gown.

Loved up: Jason seems to agree with the readers of Maxim and FHM and kisses his stunning girlfriend at the Met Gala in New york last week

Jason clearly can't believe his luck to have such a stunner on his arm, and couldn't keep his hands off her for the entire evening.

The pair live together in Los Angeles, where they are renting a property while their dream home takes shape.

They've bought a place in the Hollywood Hills which is currently being renovated to their precise specifications.

They can afford it - as well as Rosie's burgeoning Hollywood career, Jason is now a bona fide action movie hero.

Transformers: Dark Of The Moon is released on 1 July, with Jason's next film Blitz is out on May 20, with roles in The Killer Elite, safe, Echelon and the Expendables 2 to follow over this year and next.

All The Stars Come Out For The Premiere as Penelope Dazzles At Disneyland

Timbers were shivered at Disneyland tonight as a host of starry names gathered for the premiere of the latest swashbuckling Pirates of the Caribbean adventure: On Stranger Tides.

The film's star Johnny Depp, 47, looked a world apart from his alter-ego Captain Jack Sparrow with his short hair set off nicely by a retro style lounge suit and trainers.

However Depp left it to his co-star, and Pirates newcomer, Penelope Cruz, to steal the show in a figure hugging black dress that perfectly framed her glorious curves.

New friends: Veteran Pirates stars Geoffrey Rush and Depp are joined on stage by Cruz at the screening

New faces: The cast of the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean line up. Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley, who starred in the first three films, were not cast in the latest movie adventure

The 37-year-old was in sensational form, no hint of any weight she might have gained while pregnant with baby Leo, who arrived in January, was visible.

But she was given a run for her money by High School Musical alum Vanessa Hudgens, 22 , who wore a daring black dress with a slit to her thigh

Dancer Cheryl Burke, 27 , also opted for black despite the fact that the carpet for the event was a nefarious noir itself, to represent the dastardly doings on the high sea.

Hudgens' Disney co-star Ashley Tisdale, 25 , brightened things up with a stunning red gown while Eva Longoria, 36 , obviously gave Mickey Mouse ideas by wearing a pretty white dress, as he got down on one knee and proposed.

Actress Emma Roberts, 20 , and 60-year-old Kirstie Alley also got amorous with the 83-year-old cartoon legend, who seemed to be giving Captain Jack a run for his doubloons.

Teri Hatcher, 46, enjoyed playing the doting mother to her excited 13-year-old daughter Emerson Rose.

Also lapping up the fun was Rolling Stone Keith Richards, 67 , who inspired Depp's Sparrow and has a more substantial part in this fourth outing for the franchise.

Also rocking out was American Idol judge Steve Tyler, 63 , who could well be hoping to follow Richards into the warm waves of the Caribbean for the fifth or sixth film.

Stalwart cast member Geoffrey Rush, 51 , rubbed shoulders with British export Ian McShane, 68 , who is a sensation as Captain Blackbeard in the movie.

Newcomer Paris-based Astrid Berges Frisbey, 24 , who plays beautiful mermaid Syrena in the film looked gorgeous as she celebrated her first english speaking film, but it was Cruz's night.

The Spanish beauty gushed about working with 'rock 'n' roll Johnny' and said of Marshall: 'I really love Rob and have longed to work with him again. I want to kiss his feet.'

Actresses Eliza Dushku and Vanessa Branch both opted for A-line dresses which showed off their slimline figures and tiny waists
