Kirsten Dunst & Sophia Coppola in Louis Vutton

Look Of The Day: Kirsten Dunst In Louis Vuitton

How sweet does Kirsten Dunst look here in a little blue floral Louis Vutton dress and gold accessories? Sophia Coppola looks pretty hot too also wearing Louis Vutton.

I think I may be developing a massive style crush on Kirstin with this and the gorgeous Chanel look she wore at the ISTANCOOL festival.

Rosie Huntington-Whitely in The Row

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley arrives at Spike TV's 5th annual 2011 "Guys Choice" Awards at Sony Pictures Studios on June 4, 2011 in Culver City, California.

Rosie looked stunning this week at the guys choice awards wearing one of this seasons hottest trends: white. She kept the look minimal accessorising with a necklace and earrings from Marian Cage, a Dana Rebecca ring, Salvatore Ferragamo clutch and Brian Atwood VB sandals.

Is anyone else reminded of Jessica rabbit with Rosie's lips and that big slit?

Lily Allen and Sam Cooper tie the knot!

Looking dapper: Sam looked extremely smart in a navy suit and a slick haircut as he and Lily shared a joke as they made their way to their car

Congratulations to the happy couple who are also expecting a baby!


Lily's dress is not a Lagerfeld creation as expected, but a twenties lace beauty designed by Delphine Manivet.

Joining the celebrations: Angus Deaton and Lily's sister Sarah head into the church ahead of the wedding
I'm not sure how keen I am on Sarah Owen's (aka Lily's sister) wedding ensemble, playful peephole cleavage may be on trend but I think this would look a whole lot better if she kept those assets covered.


How gorgeous is Lily's headdress? It suits her perfectly and I love the whole low key vibe, no ott meringue style dresses for Mrs Cooper.

Dovima

I stumbled upon (slash opened a link from @myvintagevogue) the most adorable vintage blog the other day. Dovima is a tumblr with basically just a whole bunch of vintage pictures of the 1950's model - Dorothy Virginia Margaret Juba, better known as Dovima, and they are all amazing!

Kate Middleton at the ARK dinner

I saw a picture of Kate in this dress on a news paper in my house this afternoon and had to pick it up and stare at it for a few minutes.

The dress is Jenny Packham and how gorgeous is it! I don't think you can get more Princessy than that, also I don't think you can get more sparkly than that! The floaty sheer sleeves are modest and also dwarf Kate's waist, she looks so petite. Despite being pink, sequined, jewel encrusted and sheer Kate manages to look demure accessorising with a simple clutch and heels from LK Bennet.
