Olivia Palermo Models in Madrid

As usual I have no idea who she was posing for, but I can tell you that Olivia Palermo was spotted in Madrid yesterday, looking flamenco-fabulous in her red lace and silk gown for a photo shoot.

Recently we have seen Olivia pose in Paris with her boyfriend, shoot some fashion images in Ireland for Vanity Fair and now this one in Madrid - is it all the same story? Can a print publication really afford to fly a starlet around the world for a photo shoot? Wouldn't it be completely fabulous if they did, in this day and age. Wouldn't it mean that fashion fantasy is still alive and well and being channeled though dear Olivia? Now that I would be happy about.

Rosie Huntington Whiteley Covers Vogue Brazil April 2012

Every now and again you remember why a girl got famous. In between the Transformers movie and the M&S campaign, I had forgotten how beautiful a model Rosie Huntington Whiteley is. And this cover and story from Vogue Brazil for their April issue makes it abundantly apparent. And not just because she is a very sexy girl. Also because clothes look stunning on her and she knows exactly how to capture the moment. Believe me, that is often a sad and futile experience when shooting an editorial.

Of course I don't have a clue as to what the story is about as I don't speak Portugese. Sadly. Anyone who feels they can offer some insights, please feel free to place translations into the comments :)

But the images are really lovely and I did manage to establish that the photographer was Henrique Gendre and the stylist Luis Fiod, so that's good of me.

Alexa Chung for Superga - New Campaign Images

Once upon a time the coolest girl in all the land hopped onto a plane to Miami, taking with her a bunch of her own clothes, a photographer called Guy Aroch and some Italian sneakers called Supergas. The shoes were a hundered years old. Well not the actual shoes, but the ancestors of the shoes. And they were super comfortable, which was nice for the girl. 

Once they were in Miami, the girl and her photographer grabbed a vintage car and drove off to find their fortune. Of images for the new Superga campaign. These are some of these photos. And the girl is, of course, Alexa Chung. Creative director of the brand and all-round cool chick fashion inspiration. Awesome. Enjoy.

African Angels for Victoria Secret Launches Yesterday

There were two Victoria Secret launches yesterday and both involved the delights of our own African Angels. First of all the new push-up bra was launched - featuring Behati Prinsloo who was scouted right here in Cape Town, and who is Namibian by birth.

She teams up with Erin Heatherton in the campaign but is really the key girl for the new addition to the popular VS range. Really very lovely. I think it is the sweet naturalness of her look that is so attractive to the peeps there.

And then there was the launch of the Victoria Secret swimwear range for 2012. They pulled out the big guns for this launch, using Miranda Kerr and our own Candice Swanepoel for this launch. And the swimwear was bright and bold in colour. That's a clue for next season, gals.

Both girls wore cute crochet dresses over their swimsuits for the occasion. And Candice celebrated her cover of the catalogue landing in homes across the globe as we speak. If you like that kind of thing. Congrats to both the African Angels. Long may it continue.

Valentino 50th Anniversary Celebrations Best Dressed

There was a cracker of a turnout for the 50th anniversary store opening for Valentino on Wednesday night. And all the celebs were wearing Valentino of course. Beautiful. Here I choose my top four looks - even though my fantasy friend Cat Deeley was there and in a black lace jumpsuit, I still chose these looks. Starting with zebra stripes from Rachel Zoe. Rocking.

Minka Kelly wore beige lace. Soft, sweet, gentle, sublime. And I particularly love how she hardened it up a tad with red nails. Clever, clever girl.

And I NEVER really cover old Kim Kardashian, do I. But look at this divine monochrome dress she has trotted out from the label. I adore the full skirt. I suits her frame so much better than all those skin tight numbers. She looks so pretty and petite. This is a version of KK I like.

And who can say that this pregnant Molly Sims isn't the fairest of them all? So lovely. So elegant. I adore this look. Well played lady.

So who was your fave in Valentino? If only it was I.

Rihanna and Brooklyn Dekker in London

Seriously I have no idea what the event was. I could look it up right now for you, but I am a bit tired. So let's just focus on the important stuff. Songstress Rihanna is out and about in London currently - all hopping on the tube to see a concert stuff - and so appeared yesterday, dressed in a slinky, backless Alexander Wang gold number. That was no surprise. The surprise is that I like the length and I like the drape detail. It lends the slink backless vibe some class.

And also in attendance at this event that we haven't bothered to identify was Brooklyn Dekker who is currently promoting a film she is in. For those who don't know her, she is a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover girl and wife of tennis pro Andy Roddick.

And I generally like her style. She certainly makes this Stella McCartney dress make sense. I have seen it on several people and not cared for it at all. But on Brooklyn, I like it. Amazing.

Also look at this image from last week while she was promoting her film. Wearing that killer Isabel Marant jacket from the new collection. I die. I neeeeed it. Now.

Princess Charlene of Monaco's Finnish Style

Onse Princess Charlene of Monaco and Benoni (to give her the unofficial title, bestowed on her graciously by this blog), is currently in Finland. And there is something about how she is trying to maintain her beautifully regal stance in the face of freeeeezing-ness that is endearing in the best possible way. In the snow, you know. In some kind of national costume. With those slippers? Shoes? Cute. And I know a hundred hipsters that would KILL for those mittens. I can see them now on Kloof Street.

But then this over-the-knee boots/parka/aviator sunglasses combination is killer. Right on the money for the royal abroad vibe. Right? Well played Charlene. In difficult circumstances.
