Beyonce was radiant in an orange Lanvin gown at the 2011 Video Music Awards last night.  Her one-shoulder caftan hung beautifully over her baby bump, as it fell sweepingly onto the floor.  The singer broke the news of her pregnancy with her first child as she was walked the red carpet.  She wore her hair in a loose, side ponytail that rested on her right shoulder.  The makeup palette was soft, and neutral; it highlighted her best accessory for the evening, her smile.

Mila Kunis wore a stylish Cacharel minidress while in London this week.  It had a navy background with a classic floral print in subdued colors.  The long-sleeves balanced the mid-thigh length, giving this look a more sweet and feminine vibe.  Her informally chic dress was accessorized with high-end T-Stap Elie Saab heels and a blue clutch to increase the impact of this outfit.

Erdem Moralioglu was announced the winner of the British Fashion Fund/Vogue Fashion Fund award last night.  It is a prestigous award, and said honor comes with a $303,000 cash prize.  The award acknowledges new design talent within the fashion industry. Erdem is an enormous talent, and is highly deserving of this win.  Prior to starting his own label in 2005, he worked for Diane von Furstenberg in New York.  He was up against very notable players in the industry; fellow nominees included Christopher Kane, Marios Schwab, Clements Ribeiro, Angel Jackson, Patrick Grant of E. Tautz, Nicholas Kirkwood and Richard Nicoll.  Erdem is clearly a rising star for whom success was imminent.  You can shop for his collection online at Net-a-Porter.

It appears Matthew Williamson was inspired by ancient Rome, both military and Parliament, for his Fall 2010 collection.  His first looks had the signature Williamson aesthetic.  Somewhere during the middle of the runway show the Roman look appeared, and it was an unexpected surprise.  The fabric and draping were the central players; the collection as a whole came in cobalt blue, gray, pink, mustard and Williamson’s signature prints.  One look at the sheen of the gold and bronze, the one shoulder draping and the shoes, and you will be taken back to Rome in ancient times.  Of course the metallic fabrics were more like the armour of the army.  Think back to Julius Ceasar, Mark Antony and Cleopatra.  The fabric choice was very luxurius and the draping created the visual interest.  Hemlines remained tastefully at mid-thigh, so most women will be able to wear these looks without becoming victims of fashion.
