Miley Cyrus attended the American Giving Awards held in LA this week. The teen singer/actress went for a grownup look in a gold sequinned embellished gown by Jenny Packham. There are several things wrong with this look; the shiny gold looks a little cheap and then scrapped back hair is much too harsh for this look.

The annual UNICEF Ball took place last weekend at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in LA. A host of celebrity guests attended the event. Diane Kruger stole the show in a black halter-neck design by Emilio Pucci. The dress, from the spring 2012 collection is cut very small on the front revealing a little too much flesh. A paired down hair and makeup look lets the dress take centre stage.

Nicole Richie was also a guest at the event. Instead of sporting a design from her own label she went for a dress by Michael Kors. The leather bodice dress with cut-out details is a fab dress but has unfortunately been worn before, and alot better by Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester.

Charlize Theron has been busy promoting the release of her new film Young Adult. She appeared on the red carpet for the New York premiere earlier last week. For the occasion she chose a red leather shift dress from the new spring collection by Christian Dior. The words -red leather dress aren’t usually ones that work together but the look comes off surprising chic on Charlize. She teams the dress with nude Jimmy Choo shoes.

Charlize was also spotted arriving for a taping of The Late Show. For this occasion she went for a classic look in a monochrome dress from the new spring collection by Antonio Berardi. She teamed the dress with black strappy Tom Ford sandals.

The star-studded premiere of new movie New Year’s Eve (another American attempt at Love Actually) took place in LA earlier this week. Lea Michele took to the red carpet where she raised a few brows with her closeness to co-star Ashton Kutcher. For the occasion Lea dazzled in a nude halterneck gown by Valentino. As is often the case with Lea’s style, she always seems to be trying to be sexy, the overly low-neck cut of this dress is a good example…..

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge attended the Gary Barlow charity concert that took place last night in London at the Royal Albert Hall. Kate attended the event alongside her husband, Prince Phillip and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. On this occasion Kate went for a far trendier look than we are used to seeing her in. She teamed a black lace tulip shaped dress from Zara with a black Ralph Lauren jacket. The dress is new into Zara so although it is no longer available on the website (naturally) you may be lucky and find it in store. The only real offence I take to this look, and it is a real offence is the black waist-belt she has added.

Sarah Jessica Parker made an appearance at the UNICEF Snowflake ball held at Cipriani in New York earlier this week. Sarah went for a high fashion look wearing one of the very best looks from the new spring collection by Louis Vuitton. Whilst I love this dress, dare I say it…..Sarah is a teeny bit too old for such a look nowadays!
