It wasn’t the models so much that wowed but a select few of the attendees. New York’s most famous Gossip Girls Blake Lively and Leighton Meester wowed in fashion forward designs. Blake wore a bright yellow design from the resort collection of Marchesa whilst Leighton’s daring blue bandage dress is by Versus.

Supermodel Bar Rafaeli looked cute in an Azzedine Alaia dress. Not everyone faired so well; Julianne Moore had a fashion nightmare in a baggy Balenciaga dress and hideous wedge boots.

STYLE STARS – Kim Kardashian in DVF

Tuesday, 17 August, 2010
TV personality Kim Kardashian did some shopping on Robertson Blvd on August 16, 2010 while out and about in Beverly Hills, California. Kim stopped to chat with Entourage actor Adrian Grenier who looked to be filming in the area before heading over to a local car wash. After Kim had her Range Rover detailed she headed over to the SLS Hotel. Moments before Kim arrived Mel B stepped into the SLS Hotel as well, could these two be meeting up about future dog care for Kim's furry pal Rocky?  Fame Pictures, Inc

Is there a day that goes by when one of the Kardashian sisters is not spotted out and about? Yesterday was the turn of Kim Kardashian who was out shopping in LA. Kim loves clothes, that much is clear. Whether she always gets her look right is another question.

Yesterday she chose a patterned tunic by Diane Von Furstenberg paired with Christian Louboutin boots and a Balenciaga bag. Kim decided to belt the dress round the waist to make the most of her tiny waist however this look would have worked much better as an unbelted floaty dress.

There has been a certain trend on red carpets of late and it hasn’t been hard to miss. Yellow gowns have been popping up everywhere. Versace used yellow extensively for their spring collection and continue the trend into fall alongside Fendi, Balenciaga and Elizabeth and James.

Red carpet looks have been seen on Lea Michelle at the Tonys in Zac Posen and SJP in Valentino at the NYC SATC2 premiere. It’s not all sunshine and smiles however; the trend is worn with an edgy vibe by Kristen Stewart in a Jenni Kayne skirt for Eclipse promo duties in Sydney.

To wear this trend to its optimum play safe and just stick to one yellow item such as a skirt like Kristen’s and tone it down with a basic top. If you are going to go the whole hog, make it mini, steer clear of anything over the knee too much yellow can result in a banana effect, always keep it short and sexy.

Here are some hot picks for every budget:

For your luxe yellow buys head to retailer Net-a-porter.com. Rock this yellow silk chiffon skirt by Adam £201.79. If you want to try out a bright coloured dress RM by Roland Mouret fitted Osu dress would be a great option £534.

For budget options Topshop have a great pair of silk yellow button side shorts by Boutique for £18. Check out Missguided.co.uk for the Maritza one shouldered yellow dress with a very on trend ruffle detail for just £29.99.
