Which cover do you like the most?

We love the W cover of Kristen Stewart. The 'Twilight' looks simply amazing and unrecognisable on the September 2011 Cover of W, very different from her usual look and a true star.

Prabal Gurung - Red Carpet Favourite Designer

Singapore-born Prabal Gurung is making raves in the fashion world with his exquisite designs, beautiful silhouettes and has become a new favourite of celebrities and fashion critics alike. Prabal has worked with Bill Blass and Cynthia Rowley, before lanuching his own label in 2009.

We love his designs, the feminiity and freshness in his collection and an interesting twist that he brings in his clothes.

From the young and risk taking Blake Lively and Leighton Meester to sophisticated Demi Moore and even Michelle Obama, all love his designs. Lets check out our favourite celebrity looks from Prabal Gurung's collection.

Zoe Saldana sported a fun colour clashed look at a bash in LA wearing an acid pink Prabal Gurung tank that she layered with the designer's feather textured sleeve tee and crepe de chine green skirt all from Prabal Gurung's Resort 2012 collection. Totally digging her look, fun and stylish. Zoe's a fashion risk taker and more often than not, we like how she plays it.

Zoe loves Prabal Gurung so much, that she has been sighted quite a few times in his creations. At another Vanity Fair event, Zoe gave another stylish look in Prabal's red and pink dress, which she cinched with a black belt. Love the way the two colours were put together.

Gorgeous 26 years old, Amanda Seyfried was spotted in Prabal Gurung's stylish asymmetric green dress at the Comic-Con 2011 in San Diego, California. This dress is edgy and effortlessly stylish. Love the colour.

Gossip Girl's uber stylish Leighton Meester never fails to make a mark in her fashion credentials, whether it is her popular show or red carpet events. And at Vogue Fashion Fun Awards 2010, she picked an interesting and gorgeous Prabal Gurung's white creation dusted with swarovski and asymmetric neckline. You like?

Young and fashion forward, 14-year old actress, Hailee Steinfeld wore a stylish ivory racerback dress by Prabal Gurung at the Golden Globe Awards, 2011. Now we'd think any gown would add years to this young actress, but thankfully Prabal's fresh and young creation was what she picked for the Awards, which just added to her style factor, without adding yrs!!!

Fashion's darling, Diana Kruger wore a risqué Prabal Gurung's glam creation at a dinner hosted by Tiffany & Co. and completely dazzled us. Prabal's this creation from his fall collection has a lot going on with silver and gold hand painted sheet metal sequins, feathers and embroidered details, yet looks a million bucks. Love how the dress is sexy yet demure - the shimmering embroidery gives it a sultry look while the three-quarter sleeves and high neck detailing adds the demure touch to it .

And its just not the young gals sporting Prabal's exquisite pieces but even Michell Obama to Demi Moore to the sexy Kate Hudson hit the red carpets in his creations.

Kate Hudson picked an asymmetric necklined black dress from Prabal Gurung's Spring 2011 collection, with an iridescent paillette-embellished shoulder at ELLE's 17th Annual Women in Hollywood Tribute in Beverly Hills, California..

48 year old, Demi Moore hit the red carpet at the Met Ball in a Prabal Gurung's feathered creation. Prabal's designs sure have an edgy style and glam appeal. I think Demi looks every inch a Hollywood star, and at 48 she sure carries the look very well.

I am completely loving Prabal Gurung's dresses, and hope to soon get one in my wardrobe (looks like time to start saving)!!!!

70's Inspired Denim Skirt

We're loving the seventies inspired denim skirt which can create an enviable ensemble. This versatile piece is a wardrobe essential for your effortless chic look - whether it's buttoned up on the front, comes with a slit or is a simple skirt ending right above the knee. And in addition to being a perfect piece for your summer wardrobe, you'd be happy to know that this denim skirt can be easily transitioned into the Fall season as well. Layer it with a smart jacket or coat, tights and knee high boots to keep you warm.

With its flattering silhouette it gives a simple and clean look, which makes it easy to incorporate it in your day-to-night everyday look.

How to wear 70's inspired denim skirt?
This versatile piece can be worn in different styles for every occassion - team it with a simple tank for your weekend look, wear it with a buttoned down shirt for the office, layer with luxe jacket and sexy cami or wear it with a flowy top. Whatever style you pick, remember to pick your denim skirt in a shade of mid-to-light blue that ends just close to your knee and has a slim fit.

Let's see some of our favourite looks donned by stylish celebs.

Kirsten Dunst shows how easy it is to pull of this look at two different occassions.

Kirsten rocked a street chic style in 70's inspired Stella McCartney's buttoned denim skirt paired with classic black blazer (she is wearing a Vanessa Bruno black crepe blazer) over a black top and gold sandals. The jacket brings a dressier element to the look, which can be easily transitioned from day-to-night.



While out and about, Kirsten yet again sports the denim skirt, this time in a lighter shade while out and about in New York. She looks cute yet stylish in a nude peter pan collared shirt, which she teamed with a 70's inspired denim skirt, finishing off her weekend look with Valentino nude Rock Stud handbag, gold sandals and Ray-Ban wayfarers. She looks effortlessly chic in this casual look.

I give Kirsten brownie points for teaming this season's two hot trends together and making it work with perfection - peter pan collar and 70's inspired denim skirt.




Lauren Santo Domingo, socialte and a contributing editor at Vogue, wears the denim skirt with a simple Ralph Lauren shirt, blue bag and elegant black shoes. Simple yet stylish.

Claudia Schiffer revived the Seventies in a denim buttoned skirt by Stella McCartney, which she wore twice in a row. First she was spotted in her seventies inspired denim skirt with a buttoned down blue shirt, teamed with a pair of tan wedges and a Salvatore Ferragamo tan leather bag - topped off with some oversized sunglasses. The second time around she added a floral scarf to the look and swapped to a cream, more feminine, shirt while keeping the same accessories. We love both her looks. You like?
