Armani Knowles better
It never hurts to be related to a megastar. Or so we've heard. Forlo, Beyonce Knowles's little sister Solange has been snapped up byGiorgio Armani to model his latest denim range. Solange will bewhat the designers like to call an ambassador for the brand. Alas,this post does not come with UN entry card and diplomatic immunity- she just gets to wear some Armani jeans during her current presstour. Apparently she's not just a sibling, but an actress andsinger too.
Slip-us a diamond, please?
Those who might be fretting that the theatrical revival of The Wizard of Oz at the Royal Festival Hall just might not be kitsch enough, feelat ease. Swarovski, who apparently were makers of the original rubyslippers (we thought it was a witch?) have made a new pair for theshow. In fact the production will be dripping in Swarovski bling,so we recommend you take along your oh-so-fashionable Wayfarers.

Not so great expectations
Lace ... in the daytime? The glossy magazines are touting it as oneof the hottest trends for autumn/winter. All very well on a balldress, but really, is the Victorian fancy trims effect workable formere mortals? We think we run the risk of looking like MissHavisham.
I like her tight sweater
Move over SJP - Roisin Murphy could be the new style icon for ourtimes. After getting through at least ten outfit changes atGlastonbury, the ex-Moloko singer was seen donning on-trend purpleheadwear at Global Gathering. Indeed, Tilda Swinton's kookiest Britfashion crown is facing a serious challenge. No stranger toavant-garde couture, she donned Gareth Pugh in her Overpoweredvideo, and with the outrageous pompom shock-frock that graced heralbum cover, she's even giving Bjork a run for her money.
Paris versus Fergie
Over the pond, it's celebrity shoe wars: whose A-list-brandedslipper will take out the eye of rival designer wannabes quickest?Will it be the Paris Hilton Manolo-style stiletto , replete with pussy bows and a sharp spike? Or will Black EyedPeas singer Fergie's new range of clumpy wedges and gladiator sandals make the deadlier weapon?We'd pay good money to see that fight.
Blue Peter your heels
Some may call it fashion genius, but we personally think Rachel Bilson's shoes look like orthopedic devices from the front, and like windy dayoutside a sandwich shop (think paper bags, people) from the side.Are we missing something?
Fashion dictionary corner
When you look at these pictures , what do you think? Yes, us too. But apparently we're all wrong.The correct term for the 'Good God what is that and how would youfit on the tube?' look is actually superstructure.
