ROLLING STONE OFFSPRING

Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger's daughter, Georgia May Jagger, will be the new face of Versace's Spring/Summer 2010 ad campaign. Georgia is following in her famous mothers footsteps. Her mother is Jerry Hall who also modelled for Versace 20+ years ago. Georgia was recently voted model of the year by the British Fashion Awards.

The photos were shot in November 2009 by famed fashion photographer Mario Testino and will hit magazines in February 2010. The collection is inspired by Tim Burton's remake of Alice in Wonderland.

Emmy Fashion - The Bad

I'm convinced Hayden Panetierre is incapable of looking 19 years old. She wore a J. Mendel gown and a gold Judith Leiber clutch. She looks like a cast member for The Real Housewives of New Jersey. She constantly dresses too old for her age and last night was no different. I also never understand why a celeb would want to wear a dress the same colour at the carpet. I love Sarah Silverman so much...and don't get me wrong she looks lovely. But I think that's the problem. It just seems odd to see her in anything but a pair of Chuck's, jeans, and a mustard stained t-shirt. I haven't found out who she's wearing yet, but she totally redeemed herself when she wore a mustache when they announced her category.
Blake Lively showed up in a Versace gown, Christian Louboutin pumps, and Lorraine Schwartz diamonds. That's all good, I have no issue with her outfit. It was her hair that landed her on this list. I wasn't feeling the long braid, it reminds me of a horse tail. And what was up with her hair while she presented? The colour looked grey and it looked like she had pulled a pair of panty hose over her hair. Last time I checked celebs don't need hair nets to attend award shows. She's not working at McDonald's.

Along with her Gossip Girl co-star, Leighton Meester didn't land on this list because of her dress. She wore a Bottega Veneta white gown with knotted shoulders, Cathy Waterman jewellery and a Bottega Veneta clutch. I took issue with her makeup. I just felt her lips and eyes were too dark. She should have went with one or the other. Also, it looked like someone misted her in the face before she presented. Her makeup made her look oily.

Donatella Versus...

Back in 1989 Donatella Versace started designing a ready to wear collection called Versus that was controlled by her brother, the late Gianni Versace. In 2005 the line folded in the hopes of cutting costs and scaling back.

However, Versus is back. Donatella has designed a new line for Fall/Winter 2009 and it will show at this years Milan Fashion Week. Donatella describes the line as "very rock 'n roll sexy…the collection reflects Versus' DNA and is aimed at young people who want to dress with their own style but like to evolve and break new ground."

The line can also be purchased at Versace's Milan showroom.

Gisele's Versace Ads

Gisele for Versace

Gisele Bundchen got the idea for her MET Costume Institute Gala dress when she was posing for Versace's Fall/Winter 2009/10 advertising campaign.

Her requests for the dress were blue and short. “I thought it was because of the whole thing of models as muses,” she said. “Models are about high heels and short dresses. And you can actually go for it in this kind of theme. It’s like, why not? Show some legs.”

Expect to see Gisele gracing the ad campaigns in magazines this summer.

Grammys "Best"

When we say “best” we want you to take that term loosely. It's all relative. In general, the Grammys were really hurting this year. None of the dresses were mind-blowing mainly because there was not a lot of star power on the carpet. Most celebs are staying undercover until Oscar night when the real fashion show begins.

Gwyneth Paltrow – She’s a legitimate star and her outfit certainly reflects that. Gwyneth was shot at wearing a Versace metallic dress and Burberry Prorsum cardigan at a Grammy after party at Katsu-Ya. She looks great. I guess her GOOP fasts and exercises are working for her.



Sheryl Crow – Sheryl Crow looks great for any age. Crow turned 47 over Grammy weekend and she certainly doesn’t look her age. The birthday girl looks stunning in a blue/purple off the shoulder dress by Maticevski.




Katy Perry – Perry wore a dress by the same designer that created Paula Abdul’s dress, so let’s not prejudge. She channelled 40’s fashion with her curled hair and dark eye shadow. Katy accentuated her conservative hair and makeup with a bubblegum pink Basil Soda gown.




Carrie Underwood – Country crooner Carrie Underwood went for what she deemed a “classic” look in a gold Zuhair Murad dress. The sparkly gold corseted dress flattered her figure and complemented her sun kissed California tan.





M.I.A - This is much better. She is the epitome of cool. She's rocking House of Holland Spring 2009.

Beauty Tames the Beast

Ever since the 'Brigitte Bardot' look was seemingly massacred by Amy Whinehouse, damage control has been underway as designers commit to repairing the havock wrecked to the smokey eye since the rehab favourite began appearing in OKs across the globe. Lavin at Paris Fashion week and Donatella Versace at Milan Fashion week kept Amy's infamous thick-as-tar eyeliner, but chose to nip the cat-eye-strophy in the butt. Simply said, they popped a thick zebra stripe on each eyelid and left the rest of the face clean and understated. This modern eye has saved us all from having to drag a greasy eyeliner pencil all over our temples for the next few years. The twist on the Bardot is not only a more toned down version from the Whinehouse look, but also compliments what is coming up this spring in terms of bright solid colours as Lavin's show proved. Though this may seem at first a bit 80s for your taste, especially for your 9-5 purposes, Versace helps us understand that the look can also be juxtaposed with grecian inspired chiffon to create a softer image. As a result, the New Bardot is the way to wear your eyes this upcoming season - day or night. They say that the eyes are the window to your soul. Consider this exquisite drapery.

The Chace is On...

Looks like Patrick Dempsey doesn't have a lot of staying power these days! As we reported a couple months ago, Dempsey was signed on as the new face for Versace's cologne, Armani Diamonds, but it seems that gorgeous Gossip Girl guy, Chace Crawford, will be replacing Grey's Anatomy's Patrick come Spring 2009 when his contract expires.

One could say they saw this coming, what with Versace outfitting 23-year-old Chace for Fashion Rocks, The MTV Video Music Awards, and at co-star Blake Lively’s 21st birthday party. We're on team Chace all the way.

A representative for Versace commented, “We have been working hard to develop our relationship with Chace - and that is all we can say on the subject".

Sure, sure.
