I was not feeling this at all. This is a horrible choice for Jessica Biel. Jessica as a wonder shape but this dress made her look boxy! Yes boxy is a word. Ok its a word in my head but a word none the less. Lmao! I love Prada but this was a bad choice. It ok Jessica you will get it right next year. Just remember that you are dating Justin Timberlake and that is never bad!

FREIDA PINTO looked absolutely fab in this John Galliano gown. I loved the embroidery. The original gown is completely see through, so I like that layers were added. Many may not agree with me, I think that this dress is lovely and unique! Wonderful choice Ms. Pinto.

Taraji P. Henson looks wonderful in this Roberto Cavalli. Taraji had an amazing statement necklace by Fred Leighton. This diamond flower necklace was made in the 19th century! Ms. Henson you get the award for best jewelry! Congrats and welcome to the fashion elite!

SARAH JESSICA PARKER is wearing a great Dior haute couture. I wasn’t impressed with this choice but it was not a bad one. I would love to see her in another silhouette.  I love Sarah Jessica Parker, she is a fashion icon. Yes I said it. I hope to see something new!

“Models are probably the most sensitive, insecure girls ever. Because we always have to prove our beauty, and this is .. very inhuman. If you think i’m cute, alright. If you don’t think i’m cute, whatever.”

Not only is Mariacarla Boscono brutally honest, but she’s an extremely versatile model-just look at her resume. She’s campaigned for top fashion brands Givenchy , Roberto Cavalli , Armani Exchange , Bulgari , Calvin Klein , Chanel and Christian Dior.

Born in Italy, Mariacarla moved with her parents to Africa in a village in Mombassa when she was only nine years old. At the age of seventeen, she was discovered by a family photographer and friend. Her big breakthrough however, didn’t come until she walked in the Spring Paris fashion show for designers Issey Miyake and Vivienne Westwood. Ever since she’s nabbed the pages of Harper’s Bazaar , Vogue Italia , and British Vogue.

Currently Mariacarla Boscono resides in New York City, her hobbies include cooking and the latest exercise crave, yoga.

Even though she didn’t appear at Givenchy’s couture show on Monday, Boscono can be seen in his latest spring ad alongside models Lakshmi Menon , Lara Stone and Natashy Poly.

The runway at the 2008 Paris Fashion Week was full of dapper devils when Paul Smith’s models took the stage. The notoriously conservative but quirky line lived up to its reputation with skinny ties and trousers, tailored 3-piece suits, and plenty of pinstripes and tweed. The disheveled but still disarming models were to be expected, but Sir Smith still managed to pull off a few surprises with his cleverly chosen accessories: rope belts, rolled cuffs, saddle shoes, eye-popping primary-colored accents, and yes even some sunglasses. The Spring ‘09 Paul Smith collection is perfect for good boys and bad boys alike.

If you’re not quite ready to mix a plaid vest with tight tweed trousers, then try the fitted classics at French Connection. They’re not quite as daring, but they’re not quite as expensive either. If Paul Smith’s collection is for the eccentric artist, then Dior’s is for the punk rocker every mother fears her daughter will bring home. Dior’s Spring ‘09 line introduced a new kind of punk with basic black untailored separates paired with tight metallics, ultra-white high tops, and bright unorthodox accessories. 

Are you brave enough for the new Dior? 

If you’re still craving a more conventional punk look, then go with the classic high top Chucks that started it all. They’re still available at Converse.
