Drop-dead gorgeous looks to fall in love with include, the Sabine Blouse in sheer (so now) and silk chiffon; Picasso & St Germain Boyfriend Shirts; Modern Idol Tees (Nirvana = rock chic); and the Lou Lou Dress (prettiness is this!).

It was gloriously over the top with oversized collar and swoops of fabric flowing over the red carpet, but Heidi Klum pulled it off in a drop-dead red Galliano gown.

Sharp and simple jewellery took the backseat instead of hogging the limelight and was a refreshing change from the hundreds and thousands of diamonds on show at the Oscars (see Nicole Kidman post). Less is best. Â
