Jenny Packham shows she’s no stranger to dressing stars such as Keira Knightley, Nelly Furtado, Eva Longoria, Sarah Jessica Parker, Beyonce and Mariah Carey.

Her Spring Summer 09 collection at London Fashion Week was full-on glamorous with fabulous frocks stealing the show.

We banged on about this trend at London Fashion Week when the the boy blazer look kicked off.

Now it seems the look is larger than ever with everyone doing the blazer thing. In keeping with our purple trend for Friday, here is a hot favourite with another cutie, below.

Here’s a sneak peak…

Trickle-up trend: A fashion trend which, rather than starting with the designer and working its way onto the high street, is based on styles first seen on the streets. Celebrities are often the ones to sport trends before they reach the masses, and many designers have muses who inspire entire ranges, thereby bringing a trend to life.

Vanity sizing: The process where ready-to-wear clothing of the same size has become bigger over time. Critics say that the fashion houses have done this purposely to flatter customers to keep them coming back. However the change in sizes may also reflect the changing average sizes of women.

Remember this hot gold number?!?! We were wowed by Wang – and inspired by the Spice Girls going for glitter on their world tour…

Wang to go…

We go retro with Madonna on the cover of Rain… how good is this look?

Rain was the fifth and final single to be taken from Madonna’s Erotica album. Released in July 1993, the song peaked at No.7 in the UK.

The weekend might be over but the cocktail hour will strike once more before you know it. Always be prepared, is our motto. And you’ll never go wrong in this.
