It's true! Heidi Klum hits the runway at 2009 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

Talk about superwoman! This time the rumours were true *faint*. Heidi Klum made a surprise appearance on the runway at last night's annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. The German supermodel wowed the audience as she took to the catwalk just six weeks after giving birth to her fourth child, Lou Samuel.

Despite feeling a little unwell before the show, Australia's Abbey Lee Kershaw left a wonderful impression on the runway with Jak and Jil Blog claiming hers the "best runway presence" of the night. British model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley made her VS debut also helping to close the show, before the rest of the models including Chanel Iman, Doutzen Kroes and Miranda Kerr reappeared on stage for finale and a bit of a boogie. Featuring five different sections with 12 outfits each, live performances were provided by Black Eyed Peas, with Fergie bringing down the house in an emerald green ensemble.

Yay or Nay? Sharon Stone's gangster-meets-cabaret Dior ensemble

Some are loving it and some are despising it. So who better to ask than you guys! Sharon Stone made quite the entrance at the Elton John AIDS Foundation's "An Enduring Vision" benefit in New York City on Monday. The actress threw the fashion rule book away by fronting up in a sheer black lace fishtail Christian Dior couture gown which she matched with a black leather trench, long gloves and a fedora hat. Perhaps she was going for the gangster-meets-cabaret singer look? But was it brilliant and ballsy or bizarre and a complete balls-up? Tell us by voting in our Yay or Nay poll below. [Image: PicApp]

The setting (a car park) may have been a bit unusual but for Dame Vivienne Westwood it was ideal. The British icon chose the Selfridges car park to present her Anglomania spring/summer 2010 collection to buyers, press and a few celebs Monday night. Starring Daisy Lowe (above, left) on the catwalk, with a face full of sparkly rhinestones (true!) Westwood unveiled a colourful collection dotted with her usual quirk and political undertones.

Red carpet alert: Kristen Stewart glitters in Oscar de la Renta, 'New Moon' LA premiere (PLUS all the stars!)

newmoon_lapremiere_kristenstewarttaylorlautner.jpg


It was the night many of Twilight's American fans had been longing for - on par with being devoured by Rob Pattinson I'm sure. The red carpet was rolled out in Los Angeles for the US premiere of New Moon last night. Drawing thousands, mostly screaming young girls, and a list of Hollywood stars, it wasn't the boyss but rather the girls who stole the show.

Kristen Stewart took the opportunity to reveal a more feminine side with a floor-length strapless tulle Oscar de la Renta gown. It was a refreshing look for the 19-year-old who was once again a little let down in the hair department. It seems that Joan Jett haircut is posing a few problems for Kristen when it comes to frocking up. I wonder if she took this up with Joan, who was also in attendance at the premiere.

To see more of what the stars wore, read on...

Adding another celebrity fan to her growing client base is Victoria Beckham. The former Spice Girl's designs have broken through to the red carpet of Hollywood after Drew Barrymore wore one of her A/W 2009 dresses to the première of Everybody's Fine. The purple figure-hugging Giral dress has already been worn by Victoria Beckham and Katherine Jenkins, but still managed to shine on Drew who added her own touch of a silver pin. A black version of the same dress has also been worn by Elle Macpherson. Like it? There is a similar style still available on Net-a-Porter. That's if you have a handy £1,195 to spend.

Psst... Is Thierry Mugler planning a ready-to-wear return to Paris?

thierrymugler_moscow_oct09.jpgWord on the grapevine is that Thierry Mugler is planning a complete ready-to-wear comeback in Paris next year.

While presenting his latest creations, under the creative guidance of Rosemary Rodriguez, in Moscow this week (left), Fashion Week Daily is reporting that it could be a preview of what's to come.

They say: "Mugler has privately set next October as the re-launch date for the ready-to-wear effort - to be shown in Paris - with Rodriguez fully in charge."

Mugler pulled the plug on his couture line in 2003 to focus on his fragrances and designing extraordinary costumes for Beyonce.

His fashion house was revived in 2008 with Rodriguez at the helm, producing menswear and a couple of capsule womenswear collections. Now it looks like it could be full steam ahead for the French designer in Paris come next October.
