Must take a lot of hard work to look so good!

Precious, the little indie film that could, is finally hitting theaters this month, after more than a year of near-constant buzz about triumphant performances by Mo’Nique and a mustachioed Mariah Carey. Also starring in the film is the beautiful PAULA PATTON, who has looked nothing short of radiant at all of the film’s promotional events.

At the Los Angeles premiere over the weekend, Ms. Patton (singer Robin Thicke’s wife) wore a lovely violet corseted dress by Bottega Veneta. She paired the dress with some strappy sandals and an interesting pearl necklace and earrings set (although I’m not sure they really work with the edginess of those sandals). Patton showed off the jewels with a sleek, sophisticated low bun.

NAOMI CAMPBELL walks the catwalk in the Issa fashion show during London Fashion Week at the BFT Tent, Somerset House on September 20, 2009 in London, England.

BAD-GIRL supermodel Naomi Campbell has over-powered the big-hitters of style with a demonstration of why she’s “the best walker on the catwalk”.

Designers Matthew Williamson and Antonio Berardi made their hotly anticipated return to London Fashion Week yesterday, injecting serious glamour into the event as it celebrates its 25th anniversary.

But Campbell proved, at the age of 39, that supermodel is still the most sought-after label, with a leggy display of outfits by Issa’s Daniella Helayel.

“Naomi is pure hurricane – she’s the best walker on the catwalk, she’s the sunshine after the storm,” Helayel was reported as saying. “Every time she walks, the audience screams and claps. I’m very pleased she wanted to wear three outfits, as she only wears what she likes. She is the top model in swimwear, and looks better than any 21-year-old I know.”

Williamson, a New Yorker for the past seven years, presented typically colourful and sexy dresses enhanced by intricate beading, metallic fabrics and shards of mirrors.

“It’s great that he’s coming back to London. I wish they’d all come back to London. That’s where they originated, that’s where they trained,” said Twiggy, the model who became the face of the 1960s.

Big names have boosted the six-day London Fashion Week after years of struggling for prestige against the big guns of Paris, New York and Milan.

British-Italian Berardi, who has been showing in Paris since 2005, returned home with a collection that maintained his trademark miniskirts, with dresses sculpted from the waist outwards, matched with bustiers. The designers’ return, alongside Pringle of Scotland and Burberry, has caused huge excitement – even if it is unclear whether they will stay after the celebrations end.

OK! Here it is! Young b*tches! … Yeah! That was uncalled for! I know! … LOL!

It’s late July, everyone is suffering in the sweltering heat and the humidity is so thick it’s suffocating. You do the charitable thing and offer to take your nieces and nephews to the community pool for a dip in what is essentially raw sewage.

What swimsuit do you take along for such an occasion? Something you won’t mind pouring gasoline over and setting ablaze after you remove it, and certainly not a piece from LA Drama Queen.

And better yet – you can actually swim in them. Though wouldn’t you be a bit reluctant to get this insanely adorable ‘Absyinthe’ suit all wet?

This is the swimwear you’ll all be rocking in 2010. Yes, future bikinis are here

HOTT FASHION!

Luscious!

If you’re in Miami this weekend, prepare to see a few more models in swimsuits. The CAFFE SWIMWEAR, the luxury Columbian swimwear line hauled out their 2010 line at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim at the Beachway in Miami Beach, Florida.

Fellas, see the gallery below for more images!

ENJOY! LOL!

After two kids and more than 25 years in the modeling industry, ELLE MacPHERSON is still rocking some short hemlines.

In four years, Australian supermodel Elle MacPherson will be in the top ten of the 50 Sexiest Women Over 50. Yes, she’s 46, and yes, she looks like that.

Elle wore an itty bitty Herve Leger ‘Camille’ dress and Christian Louboutin peep-toe platforms to the Jaguar XJ launch party in London. With her matching clutch and tousled blond hair, she was easily the foxiest celebrity in attendance.

Elle has to maintain her famous figure (she’s still nicknamed “The Body,” after all) to keep her business going strong. Elle MacPherson’s Intimates is still selling well, after almost twenty years on the shelves.

But don’t feel too sad – did you really want to spend $1,140 on a pair of sneakers?

HOTT FASHION!

HIGH PRICE!

Sorry, Kanye West fans – the much-anticipated collection of sneakers Kanye designed for Louis Vuitton has already sold out. If you weren’t on a waiting list, you probably don’t have a pair.

It was rumored earlier this week that Louis Vuitton was pushing back the sale date on the kicks, which Kanye has named The Jaspers, The Dons, and Mr. Hudson, but it now appears that they actually were in stores today, for a brief moment in time. A salesperson at a NYC Louis Vuitton store told The Cut people had been inquiring about the shoes since January.

But don’t feel too sad – did you really want to spend $1,140 on a pair of sneakers? Because that’s how much The Jasper would have cost you.

Meanwhile, it’s been rumored that Kanye is currently interning at The Gap in New York City. Maybe there are some affordable Kanye-inspired items coming at us in the near future?

And hopefully many of you will agree! ... if not! You can kiss my cynical a**! LOL!

HOTT FASHION!

I think not!

Last night’s BET Awards were a fairly somber event in the wake of Michael Jackson’s death on Thursday. The clothes, however, were anything but somber. Thank goodness.

The GOOD!

Alicia Keys’ Jenny Packham dress is perfect for the BET Awards – it’s shiny and eye-catching, but it’s not ridic.

Zoe Saldana was gorgeous in a structured white Calvin Klein dress and Brian Atwood heels. I’m loving the gentle curls, but I have the feeling she’s hiding an interesting neckline under all that hair.

Kanye West and his girlfriend Amber Rose (guess they’re still together) kept it simple: he in lumberjack boots, she in a white mini dress and a pair of hot pink pumps.

A leather dress in June? Whatever, Ciara looks hot in it.

Speaking of hot, check out Tatyana Ali! Someone give this girl a comeback, stat.

I have the feeling Estelle won’t be the only one wearing a white glove in the coming months.

Tyra Banks’ silky blouse and slacks look like something Michael Jackson might have worn in the early mid-90s, so she gets a pass.

I actually think Keri Hilson’s sparkly dress is pretty HOTT! – it does amazing things for her body, but her two-toned hair is just bringing her down.

Beyoncé loves her Balmain, so this isn’t particularly surprising. She’s gotta bring the fierce, right? But as Olivia puts it, “She can be fierce without being like, a crotch shot.” I bet she had trouble walking:

The BAD!

Teairra Mari went for something short and sweet, and probably can’t move for fear of flashing.

Remember Monica? Well, she’s edgy now.

Cassie, you’re so, so beautiful. But this dress screams, “Remember my nudie photos? PLEASE REMEMBER MY NUDIE PHOTOS AMERICA!“

Dresses like these make me wish reality stars could be universally banned from the red carpet. Oh boy, Omarosa.

The Ugly!

This Alexander McQueen dress should never have seen the red carpet. When the nude body stocking is visible beneath the dress, you’ve lost, Melody Thornton. But at the same time my mouth is still wondering for a bite into one of those thighs! LOL!

Lil Mama, I love you. But you’ve got to stop with this madness.

MC Lyte NO! BABY! NO!

HOTT FASHION!
