The shoes of the 2008 MTV VMAs!

No, you are not looking at a picture of Britney Spears from five years ago. This is, indeed, the real Brit Brit this past Sunday night at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Here’s Gwyneth Paltrow leaving a restaurant after an early morning breakfast in NYC. Paltrow was in town supporting her husband’s band Coldplay at their Madison Square Gardens gig. Gwynnie is wearing a pair of brown leather Christian Louboutin sandals on her feet, a pair of which I am quite envious. Check them out:

Joel: “No, we don’t know where Paris and Benji are!”
Paris Hilton and Benji Madden’s media fame train must be more powerful than I give them credit for. I almost forgot about Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, whom I hold responsible for Paris and Benji’s sickening media presence, and thus are responsible for Paris Hilton NEVER GOING AWAY.

Fashionista? Or troll on safari?
I had to check three times before it finally sunk in that this is, in fact, MK Olsen, and not Ashley. Despite my deep running fear of these twin trolls, I’m usually quite good at telling them apart. However, the straightened hair and Chanel suit threw me for a loop.
Posh Beckham is on the edge of fashion.
For example:

Supertight leather pants? Pleather leggings? Or is it just paint? Just one of the many mysteries of the one we call Posh.

Seal and Heidi were never going to survive, unless they got a little crazy
Here’s Heidi Klum and husband, Seal, wading their way through a sea of photographers and autograph seekers. Seal allegedly went off on the paps, calling them scum, which of course just caused them to take more pictures. Heidi was silent, but you know if things really got out of hand, she would have stepped in as Seal’s supermodel superfrau and given them her fiercest model look, which of course would cause the paps to be hypnotised into submission. Don’t mess with supermodels, man. Where do you think the super comes from?

Donatella: “Stare into my eyes, darling, it will give you a contact high.”
That’s right, bitches. Donatella Versace has arrived.

Here’s Mary-Kate Olsen at a John Galliano show in Paris. Looking at this picture reminds of how my mother always thought the Olsen twins looked like treasure trolls. Maybe Lucy Lui is about to rub the jewel in her belly for luck.
Mary-Kate and Lucy Lui are looking quite fashionable, in different ways. Each has their own personal style, and this picture shows the contrast between the two. I don’t care for the furry thing around Lui’s neck, or the oversized Louis Vuitton leopard scarf around MK’s neck, but each style choice is a good representation of their fashion personality. Lucy Lui, high powered New York City fashionista. MK Olsen, vagabond crossed with an Aerosmith groupie.

I’m currently not a huge fan of Lindsay Lohan, but I am a major fan of her outfit.
Dear Amy Winehouse,
We need to talk. It’s not about the drugs, or the arrests, or the eating disorders. Amy, we need to talk about this:


This is the absolutely gorgeous Jennifer Connelly at the Reservation Road premiere. Her unique look is straight off the Balenciaga runway. Note the black and white gladiator heels that Connelly is sporting. This ensemble is from Balenciaga’s spring 2008 collection, of which I am not a huge fan. I find the styles to be something appropriate for schizophrenic florists. However, the always stunning Connelly pulls it off, with her demure look contrasting against the bold patterns.
I could never wear those shoes, as I find looking at them has seizure inducing effects. However, MICHAEL by Michael Kors has made a more modest gladiator type heel for the rest of us:

Garner looks naturally radiant- as always- at the premiere of her indie film Juno in Westwood, California this week.
