Fashion Fantasies

The Real Place For Your Fashion Dreams To Come True

Bollywood divas dazzler all!

That’s right, apart from the leading ladies of Bollywood who dazzled on the ramp in fashionable outfits down the ages, it was the jewellery created by Forevermark: the diamond brand from De Beers, that stole the show. Every single diamond at the show bore the coveted mark.

Fashion, beauty and glamour came together in a magical moment as the ladies came together in a spectacular show of support for the foundation.

Scarlett Johansson is a serious actress, one of our faves, and we’ve been fans of hers since at least Ghost World (though it’s rumored that we wept through The Horse Whisperer, too).

    What They Wear: Fashion Inisders

    Now that the S/S 11 fashion shows have finally wrapped up, it’s time to turn our attention not to the designers behind the illustrious runway looks, or even the mesmerizing warm-weather pieces themselves, but to the unsung Fashion Week heroes: the editors, of course! These masthead VIPs—plus a few cherished tastemakers who we couldn’t exclude from such a noteworthy roundup—tirelessly made their way through New York, Paris, London, and Milan and left a trail of immaculate ensembles…

    Anne Hathaway is in a much better place now than she was two years ago.

    The Oscar-nominated star, who graces the November cover of Vogue in a glamorous gown, has reached the point where she can joke about her relationship with Raffaello Follieri. You know, the guy she dated for four years before he was convicted of stealing millions from investors back in ’08…
