Something For The Weekend...

Jordan Paramor is a former Heat staffer, has written 12 entertainment books and regularly contributes to the likes of Cosmopolitan. And now she brings us the latest stylish celebrity gossip in her blog Something For The Weekend..., in which she reveals a few celeb secrets too...

Today's Topic: Winter Warmers

The time has come to time to squirrel away our in-between outfits and get on with the serious business of stocking up our winter wardrobes with some wonderful woolies. And who better to look to for inspiration that some of the most stylish celebs?

Jessica Biel has been seen wrapping up warm as she tours Europe for the launch of her latest movie, Easy Virtue. I particularly liked one grey jumper she wore recently which looked like it had been borrowed from her other half Justin Timberlake. And apparently that’s not the only thing she plans to nick off Justin. According to my sources Jessica is planning to launch a music career of her own, and Justin is very kindly offering to help her out. No surprise there, then…

Talking of Justin, I get the feeling his other ex, Cameron Diaz, gets a little jealous of the chilly British weather. She’s often spotted out and about in LA rocking a thick scarf, despite the fact it’s probably about 80 degrees. She usually wears them with a vest top and a light knit cardigan which makes for a lovely look for a warm autumn day.

As we’re on the subject of ex’s, Jennifer Aniston is rumoured to be dating two of Cameron Diaz’s at the same time. But it’s all perfectly fair because Cam got together with her latest squeeze, gorgeous Brit model Paul Sculfor, after he and Jen split up earlier this year. Confused? How do you think they feel?

Anyway, if sources are to be believed lucky Jen (who, let’s not forget, was once married to Brad Pitt) is currently dividing her time between cute rocker John Mayer and the ruggedly sexy Scottish actor Gerard Butler. Maybe it’s Jen’s penchant for soft v-neck cashmere jumpers and well fitting jeans that wins them over? (FYI, my current favourites are these 18th Amendment lovelies). After all, sometimes you can’t beat a bit of simple style. And if it helps you to pull guys that good looking, I'm stocking up on all things classic pronto.

One To Watch: Georgia May Jagger

Jade may have the celebrity pals and Lizzie may have the model figure but, when it comes to the Jagger girls, it's the little known Georgia May that has the to-die-for style...

A retrospective look at her outfits confirms this. Georgia May, the youngest daughter of Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall, seems to have a knack for taking the latest trends and totally nailing them, be it body con, clashing colours, tartan or lace tights (which, FYI, she was wearing in April of this year, long before the trend took hold). Of course, it's not hard to look good when you've inherited your mum's thick, glossy hair and incredible figure as well as your father's infamous pout, but credit where credit's due - the girl knows how to put together a killer outfit.

Although she's already followed in her mum and sister's footsteps by doing a bit of modelling (for Dazed & Confused, no less), at just 16 years old (and only having just taken her GCSEs) Georgia's still considering the road she might take. "I want to take photographs" she said in a recent interview, adding "and design[ing] the clothes, I am interested in that".

We don't know about you, but we'd definitely be interested in seeing anything this stylish bright young thing might design...

Paris Fashion Week - Days 6 & 7

The Chanel show at Paris Fashion Week always proves to be a big celebrity draw, and this time round was no exception as a splattering of starlets descended on the Grand Palais earlier today.

Harry Potter actress Emma Watson made her usual appearance in a thoroughly space age outfit, pairing a silver jacket and dress with black leggings and wedges. Zoe Kravitz (daughter of Lennie) was also in attendane, rocking a houndstooth dress (Chanel, natch), a black beret (tres Parisian) and some black ankle boots.

Meanwhile, models Claudia Schiffer and Milla Jovovich were also in attendence. Claudia scored serious fashion points, turning her beige cardigan into a dress by adding some black tights and a leopard print belt (how enterprising!), whilst Milla wore an on-trend checked coat over a neutral dress and pointy boots.

And the supermodels were also out in force the previous day for the first Yves Saint Laurent show since the great man's death. Naomi Campbell looked chic in a belted grey suit. Natalia Vodianova worked it in a black jumpsuit, whilst Claudia Schiffer wore a leopard print dress (she's loving that animal print at the moment, isn't she!?).

Paris Fashion Week - Days 4 & 5

Dita Von Teese is having a busy old time of things over in Paris (well, it is her favourite city in the world, or so she told us when we spoke to her recently - which reminds us, don't forget to enter our Wonderbra by Dita Von Teese competition!).

Having attended the Christian Dior show on day 3 of the French Fashion Week, she was front row at Jean Paul Gaultier on Tuesday, working her own brand of 40s chic in a matching grey jacket and skirt suit.

Then yesterday she swept into the Sonia Rykiel show in a gorgeous navy fishtail gown complete with her trademark red lipstick and masses of diamonds.

We predict a bout of fashion week fatigue coming her way soon!

Paris Fashion Week - Day 3

If there was one show at Paris Fashion Week guaranteed to be packed out with celebrity fans, it was always going to be Christian Dior.

The front row read like a who's who of hot starlets - Dita Von Teese sat between fellow lovely ladies Lily Allen (looking gorgeous in gingham) and Katy Perry (sporting a cute strawberry hair clip), whilst Emma Watson and Eva Green (both looking chic in grey) sat alongside Pirates of the Caribbean actress Zoe Saldana.

Monday's Most Wearable Runway Look...

The Dior show, obv. Gorgeous bright dresses and hair in chic top knots had a flirty but tribal vibe - kind of The Flintstones meet the 80s. We like.

And Monday's Least Wearable Runway Look...

Maison Martin Margiela's take on bank robber chic (or tights over the head). Well, would you?

Paris Fashion Week - Days 1 & 2!

The fashion world let out a collective sigh of relief this weekend as, with Paris Fashion Week kicking off, the end is finally in sight...

But, enough of all that - there's celeb front-row spottings to update you on! Things started as the French no mean intend them to continue at the weekend, with a splattering of starlets arriving in the world's most romantic city to view the shows.

Mischa Barton was leading the way, rocking up to the Marlies Dekkers show (alongside Kelly Rowland) with her bushy blonde hair hidden under a black bowler hat.

Elsewhere, Milla Jovovich was setting the show-seeing pace, viewing two in one day - first she attended the Balmain show in a cute contrast-button shirt, before changing into a gorgeous grey embellished dress for the Nina Ricci show later that day.

We'll have more from Paris as we have it..!

Milan Fashion Week - Day 5

If the previous day saw the fashion experts take to the front row, yesterday was most definitely the domain of the music mavericks, as Roisin Murphy and Rihanna attended shows...

Roisin is undoubtedly one of the fashion world's favourite girls at the moment (indeed, we've just this second got an email from the WhoWhatWear girls naming the Moloko front-woman as their Girl of the Month), and she lived up to expectations by looking impossibly cool at the Roberto Cavalli show in a military-esque coat, superstar sunglasses and glistening gold heels.

Elsewhere, Good Girl Gone Bad singer Rihanna took up her front row seat at the Gucci show, looking as fierce as even in a black halterneck dress teamed with tasseled black boots and killer hoop earrings.

And on the runways...

Frida Giannini's 'Gucci Exotica' collection delivered exactly what you'd expect from the name - lots of tropical prints (from palm leaves to sunsets) and beautiful bikinis, all topped with a straw hat to keep the sun off. Green featured heavily, evoking daydreams of a glorious, sun-drenched sea, as did blue, which alluded to cloudless skies. And has left us planning our summer holiday '09...

Meanwhile, Roberto Cavalli found a happy medium between the dream-like collection he showed this time last year and the va-va voom glamour for which he is known. The shapes were sexy - lots of short skirts and cropped cami tops - whereas the fabrics (reams and reams of chiffon) and colours (dusty pinks, whites and creams) were soft and feminine.

Milan Fashion Week - Day 4

It was the turn of the fashion experts to take up their front row seats at Milan Fashion Week, with stylist Rachel Zoe and American Vogue editor Anna Wintour taking their place to view the Salvatore Ferragamo show. Nicole Richie's ex-pal Rachel wore a checked coat and skirt suit with black tights and heels, whilst Ms Wintour kept her trademark sunglasses on even after the house lights went down.

In other fashion news, it seemed to be Tumble Tuesday, with not one but two models completely stacking it mid-strut on the runway at Prada. Darn those high heels!

But, when the models weren't falling down, there was a fashion show to focus on - and what a show it was! If Miuccia Prada has anything to do with it, we'll all be bearing our midriffs next season - bandeau style bra tops featured heavily in a collection that was glamorous and overtly sexy. Best get doing those crunches now, ladies!

Meanwhile, the big trend coming off both the Etro and Bottega Veneta catwalks seemed to be sunset colours. Both shows featured beautiful vibrant shades of pink, yellow and orange which, with Britain as gloomy as it is at the moment, made us long for a bit of sun!

Milan Fashion Week - Day 3

The glamoristas touched down in Milan yesterday, as the Italian city's fashion week continued to gain pace...

The beautiful Katy "I Kissed A Girl" Perry was in town, attending the D&G show early in the day before heading over to the design duo's showroom to perform a showcase of her songs. Sporting a too cute for words nautical dress with a big red corsage, she was her usual retro glam self.

Australian actress Cate Blanchett was one of the guests at the showcase, popping in after attending the Giorgio Armani show. Cate, who was photographed alongside the much-loved designer, kept things classic in a little black dress a bow-adorned heels.

Meanwhile, Italian fashion royalty Margherita Missoni was spotted at the (can you guess it?) Missoni show, wearing (again, guess what's coming...) a strapless Missoni dress featuring the brand's classic zig zag pattern.

Hot off the runways...

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana went to sea for their spring '09 collection - the D&G show featured plenty of nautical references, from high-waisted shorts to sailor stripes in a colour palette of red, white and blue. The look was given a typically D&G sexy edge however with fishnet tights.

Meanwhile, it seems that Christopher Bailey was not just inspired by Burberry's history, but also by the British summer we've just had, for the majority of the girls on the Burberry Prorsum runway wore macs over their outfits. Underneath the macs, there was an earthy feeling going on - the collection was called 'Garden Girls' after all - with shades of brown, green and earth red making up a rather grungy collection.
