All this excitement gave all of us at Hot Gossip a great excuse to peek through the fabulous & varied looks of 10 women who have shaped the way we think about fashion & style today. We’ll take a look at the men later in the week!

Sienna Miller arrived at the MET Costume Gala with not only hottie Jude Law in tow but this asymmetrical navy and black Emilio Pucci gown.  Having turned the world on with her free-flowing brand of boho chic (she’s among the key culprits behind everybody and their mother wearing tunic tops and tucking their jeans into boots) Sienna switched style lanes to sex kitten and left the wannabes in the dust. Of course, by the time the rest of us catch up she’ll have moved on to her next fashion incarnation.audrey

No style icon collection would be complete without the effortless elegance of the ever-feminine Audrey Hepburn. Despite the classic ‘My Fair Lady’ dress on offer Audrey WAS the little black dress, as she made it famous on the big screen. Women from all over the world use this little closet staple for gala’s, black tie events, weddings and more, paying homage to Audrey’s unique sense of style. Simplicity is the key for this look and by putting bold jewellery with it, you can’t go wrong. 17f2431a597db0ed_madonna_jean_paul_gaultier_cone_bra_blonde_ambition

Madonna’s ground-breaking and often controversial Blonde Ambition Tour in the 1980’s brought pop fashion up to iconic status using designers like Jean Paul Gaultier to help complete her image. From hair to layers and bangles Madonna  was the original trendsetter and her influence still echoes today with her signature bodysuits being copied by Lady Gaga.

john_travolta_and_princess_dianaPrincess Diana showed that being part of the British Royal Family meant less dressing like a ‘frump’ and more glamourous princess. The Princess captivated America when she danced with Hollywood actor, John Travolta, at a gala dinner at the White House in 1985.

twiggyTwiggy was a British model in the 1960’s who broke the mould by capturing the new wave of freedom in music & fashion. She made loose A-line one piece dresses, flat shoes & fake eye lashes the ‘It’ look for women. Twiggy also introduced women to short cut hair and wearing reformed suits (such as button down shirts, ties, and vests) like men, showing both masculinity and feminism in her own unique way.grace kelly

Playing on her ice cool reputation and timeless grace, Grace Kelly wore an Edith Head designed dress of the palest blue in 1955 to receive the Best Actress Oscar for The Country Girl. From her early days as a Philadelphia Society girl, to Hollywood stardom and princesshood as the wife of the Prince of Monaco her eternal style, sophistication and substance has had style lovers captivated for generations.

Marilyn Monroe diamonds are best friendsThe bright pink strapless Satin dress that Marilyn Monroe wore in the movie “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” was auctioned off last month and was expected to fetch between $150,000 & $250,000. Maybe it’s the bombshell, sexpot persona or the natural flair that she carried herself with. Or maybe it’s her perfect hour-glass figure and penchant for stylish, designer pieces that border on the subtle to the downright scandalous but her glamour still captures our imaginations.SaraJessicaParker_400

We all know SJP better for her  alter-ego Carrie Bradshaw defined fashion in the 90s but the actress herself as grown into a style icon of her own always carrying the latest fashion and making it her own. SJP attended the 2006 MET Costume Institute Gala with her good friend, the late Alexander McQueen, in which the pair wore fantastically daring, matching tartan designs. 2009+British+Fashion+Awards+6U-KpdvtS-ol

The British Fashion Awards late last year saw singer-turned-fashion designer Victoria Beckham bring out her inner vamp by dressing in this floor-scraping, long-sleeved gown (with jewelled shoulder) from her own Spring 2010 collection which gave a nod to the gothic trend. Victoria sure knows the power of a LBG (Long Black Gown).blondie

Another often-forgotten fashion icon was Debbie Harry (or Blondie as she was known) who was the queen of customized clothes. What better way to own couture! She even looked great wearing a pillowcase and red electrical tape!

So there you have it you lucky, lucky people: The Female Style Icon Collection! We’ll take a look at the men next! But don’t delay because once they’re gone, they’re gone & in someone else’s wardrobe forever!

Free Sakineh Campaign

2010-07-17_1306The Agency want YOU to join the growing list of movie stars, musicians & politicians from across the globe including Catherine Zeta Jones, Yoko Ono, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sting, Michael Bloomberg & many, many more in the campaign to FREE SAKINEH.

You have a powerful voice in today’s world and we have a responsibility to shout as one to help change lives for the better. Hot Gossip Magazine and Star Fever Agency want to help raise awareness of worthy causes and as well as lending your support you have the chance to give your Star a Charisma Boost by choosing the related Agenda item in ‘Causes’.

The Free Sakineh Campaign is highlighting the plight of an Iranian woman who faces death by stoning after having been tortured for alleged adultery.

In 2006 Ashtiani was convicted of having an ‘illicit relationship’ and initially received 99 lashes. Since this time the 43-year-old has been in jail where she made her confession under the duress of the lashing.

Just recently she was dragged before a court and re-tried. Again she was convicted and this time, despite the punishment she has already endured, sentenced to be stoned to death. This barbaric practice involves wrapping a woman tightly from head to toe in white cloth, burying her up to her shoulders in sand, and pelting her to death with large stones.

WE must not let Ashtinai become another victim of the debasing, inhuman treatment of women that has become the daily reality in Iran. Make your voice count and encourage others to do the same.

Sometimes in life we have to look beyond our comfort zone and face up to what is happening to fellow human beings across the world. With the emergence of global communities on the internet the fight of one person can quickly become a cause for millions of ordinary people to actually make a difference and put an end to injustices.

Take action against the practice of stoning; take action against abuse of women, sign the petition.

Theo King’s exclusive Cannes Couture Collection was all about the glamour & sophistication and the Agents at Star Fever Agency have seen enough runway shows this year to know how to dress their Stars at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

With each outfit there were many Stars but only one real look. It was the fashion duty of fellow Agents to decide Who Wore It Better in the match-ups and here are the winners!The_deepika

Style guru, Agent Herlijk, had 2 winnning Stars, Paraminder Duke & Rubye Enos, in ‘The Deepika’ and ‘The Cheryl’ categories respectively and believes in trusting her instincts when it comes to choosing her Stars’ outfits. Cheryl_001“From the moments they tried them on I knew I was going to win. The dress fit their look and personality perfectly. Rubye Enos captured the sophitcation of ‘The Cheryl’ and with Paraminder Duke looking like an Indian diva it just looked great!”

Eloquent Agent, Alexa Blaze, took the credit for her Star’s stunning appearance in ‘The Elizabeth’ dress. Marina lupina“Despite Marina Lupina’s shy demeanour I chose the bold Elizabeth Banks dress because the hues of pinks, peaches & purple complimented Marina’s platinum locks. I specifically chose a sleek hairstyle to add balance to the dress.”michelle nik

‘The Michelle’ dress was worn better by Miss Nikayla’s Star, Halle Yun-Fat. Miss Nikayla admitted her Star’s blue hair often made her look like an American flag in a number of the Cannes Couture Collection pieces but her features shone through in the end. “Halle’s mysterious look with dark eyes and dark blue hair really made her look stunning. The latest jewellery accessories also played a major part in beating the other Agents.”

ladygagaWinning stylist of Alla Farrell, Agent Lady Gaga, was keen to take her inspiration from her own passion for old Hollywood style icons like Grace Kelly & Rita Hayworth and chose the simple but beautiful ‘The Kate’ dress. “My opponents in the competition did look lovely but Alla rocked the dress. When it comes to elegance and sophistication nobody touches her but thanks for the votes guys – you’re awesome!”uta bindon

Agent Wicked’s determination to succeed in this competition saw her focus her energies and “go for the kill” as she dressed Uta Bindon in the fabulous ‘The Cate’ dress. “Uta is a real star who likes to work hard and knows her talents for both movies and fashion can make her the best in the business.”guys

The guys got in on the action too with some sleek and sexy suits and in a hard fought competition the man of the moment right now, Justin Weatherax, stood out from the screaming crowds. His Agent, Agent Camakilla, uses color to build an outfit and make her Stars unique. “I wanted Justin to look extraordinary and a break with the traditional white shirt. I think a man should not shy away from wearing pink and with the black suit and blonde hair he looks très cool.”Belle

Other winners included Agent Mickey’s Star, Belle O’Leary, who won the category for the sumptuous ‘The Diane’ dress, Agent Wateringcan’s Star, Isabelle Madden who rocked it in ‘the Rachel’, Agent Ughliz’s style conscious Star, Anita Shultz, for ‘The Mischa’ (always a difficult one to pull off) 2010-07-16_1012& last but by no means least Adrienne– Agent Tiffie’s Star, Adrienne James, who posed so elegantly in ‘The Camilla’ a couple of the guys in the office had to be resuscitated!

One final thing!

Our secret moles within the Agency have also heard that Theo King will be releasing a new collection – ‘The Style Icon Collection’ – on July 27…so get your Stars ready for the next face-off.

The California Gurl Collection inspired by Katy Perry

Being confident, finding your own personal style and setting trends is what the Agency is all about so no pop fashion collection could ignore the unique, cute & retro style icon: Katy Perry.

The Agency is releasing 13 classic items from Katy Perry’s sexy, kitsch and generally OTT wardrobe in the California Gurl Collection all of which are available between July 13 and July 23.

If you buy all the items from the California Gurl Collection you’ll automatically unlock an special, exclusive dress worn by Katy at the MET Costume Institute Gala earlier this year!**

The first of 2 articles looking at the outfits in more detail focuses on the first 6…

carouselOver the last couple of years Katy has honed her colorful and vintage style to create a unique look that is a little eccentric and totally sexy. Never one to shy away from wearing catwalk concept dresses out in public Katy Perry’s own humor and personality also shines through. At the MTV Europe Music Awards 2008 she wore this Manish Arora carousel, one-sleeved corset dress complete with surreal geometric patterns.

bowChart-topper Katy was filming the video for new single Hot ‘n’ Cold and wore this pop culture bride outfit with a fantastically cute bow. The promo, shot in Los Angeles, saw her fleeing her wedding as she chased after the runaway groom.

palm treeStrong and vivid colors are also a big part of Katy’s well-defined sexy look. Katy sported a teal, latex number with hot pink palm trees when she performed in Times Square last month (June 2010) and a few days earlier she showed off a half-American flag, half British flag dress in London, made of the same plastic fabric.

britus“The latex is probably the most comfortable thing I ever wear because it just sticks on you. You sweat a little bit,” Katy said of the form fitting dresses. “But it’s like a perfect fit! It makes you look extra skinnier than you are.” While Katy added that wearing the latex dresses are “fun,” they aren’t the easiest to remove. “It’s hard to get off because you’re like, a little sweaty,” she said. “It’s like trying to take a balloon off your thighs.”

orangeAlways expressing her femininity Katy likes to add her own modern twist on 40’s, 50’s & 60’s vintage clothing. This orange Viktor & Rolf ball gown, shown at their Spring 2010 collection, was worn by Katy at the MTV Europe Music Awards in 2009 and allowed fashion critics and bloggers worldwide to finally get to mention Edwards Scissorhands in their reviews.

diceAnd she looked gorgeous and stunning in this sizzling red-hot shimmer dress. The custom-made dress featured many accessorized dices with some large dices at the shoulder adding funkiness and freshness. The mini pencil red dress also had a single full sleeve and with Katy donning a complementing crimson lipstick she looked both comfortable and striking during her performance at the Rockefeller Plaza in New York.

All these funky fashions (and 7 addition items to be reviewed early next week) are available for your Stars NOW from Theo King and Fashion Republic.

**Please note – To unlock the free dress, all items from the collection must be purchased for the same Star. The exclusive item will be in that Star’s wardrobe the day after you complete the collection.
