With the Agency growing in reputation and with many more exciting plans on the horizon the competition for fashion favor in the Who Wore It Better? polls is really heating up in the forum.

This month’s contest saw the heavyweight Style Icon Collection wow us with idols worthy of fashion worship. Each dress represented a trendsetting icon all of whom contributed to so many groundbreaking styles and which we still see evolving today.

The winner of The Blondie category was Miss Nikayla who brought her own passion for wearing unique fashions and accessories in styling her partying Star, Susannah Caspe.  “I chose this dress for Susannah because of her bright red lips and lightly tanned skin. I added large, bright & funky accessories which helped complement the simple, elegant dress.

The fabulous Alexa Blaize gave us an exclusive insight into her winning Star, Gwili Hamasaki who insisted upon wearing The Madonna herself because she was the one whose bold fearlessness inspired her to go into the music business before she made it in the movie world. In a daring move Alexa sold an unnamed moody yet successful diva to take a chance on Gwili who has a famous older sister already at the Agency!

A previous winner of Who Wore It Better? Agent Herlijk is proving her style credentials time and again and this time with another of her Star’s, Whoopi Cannon. “It was going to take someone special to pull off ‘The Marilyn’ dress and despite feeling a little down right now, Whoopi’s natural glamour shone through”.

Sex and the City fanatic Agent Tiffie knew instantly The Sarah Jessica Parker dress was a perfect fit on Whitney Massman.  Inspired by her win Agent Tiffie went out and bought her the entire Must Carrie Collection! She’s wearing the exclusive Carrie Wedding dress with pride now in Fame or Lame – even if it is scaring off potential husbands!

Agent Diana Love is an Agent who understands what it takes to make it in this business. Her tactics were to take a chance on perhaps the least popular dress and give ‘The Twiggy’ a fresh, original look by adding a vest & boots. You can also see her Star, Lyle Schwan, as one of the faces of the Agency on the website homepage.

British Agent, Miss Allen, teamed her Star’s win in ‘The Victoria’ category with the perfect mix of accessories. A Star of many critically acclaimed independent movies, Molly Parera showed she was more than comfortable in her new role as a growing fashion icon.

Other winners of the Style Icon Collection included WWIB regulars Agent Mickey won ‘The Guys’ outfit with Jacob Tom, Agent Gaga whose Star, Alla Farrell, won two awards for ‘The Grace’ and ‘The Princess Diana’ and Agent Foxxi Girl who won 2 categories for ‘The Sienna’ and ‘The Audrey’ with Martine Frooks & Helena Portman respectively.  All were unavailable for comment.

Sources at the Agency have also confirmed that coming out this Thursday is The Young Hollywood Collection which celebrates styles from the silver screen’s rising stars. The Who Wore It Better? competition is sure to be fun! Are you willing to put your rising Star on the Walk of Fame and be judged for the opportunity to win an exclusive prize?

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.

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.

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.

Princess 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.

Twiggy 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.

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.

The 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.

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.

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).

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!

The lavish, annual Costume Institute Gala Benefit was held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York earlier this month and is generally considered prom night for the world’s top fashionistas. The fashion world ranks this night higher and more exciting than the Oscars because guests are willing to take more risks, let their hair down and allow new fashions to flourish.

Away from the mainstream media glare the event consistently brings out an eye-popping assortment of the world’s top stars of movies, TV, music & fashion. The guest list for this Party of the Year is simply to die for!

Completely star-struck the Hot Gossip team went about picking out the ‘beautiful’, the ‘beastly’ and the ‘you’ve-got to-be-kidding’ looks of the night….

Katy Perry The Met may well be the place to trial new fashion concepts but Katy Perry probably crossed the line with her 10^th Grade science project LED dress from CuteCircuit.  Despite her personality being able to pull the dress off she still looked like she was wearing a radioactive bedsheet!

Jennifer Lopez Despite a chequered fashion past J-Lo moved elegantly in the best formal gown of the evening from Zuhair Murad that was both classic and exciting and didn’t take away from her overall look (which included Cartier jewels).

Even Brazilian supermodel, Gisele Bunchen, the highest paid model in the world and with a fortune of $150million couldn’t make a cut-out black leather mini-dress with an uneven fringed hem work outside a lap-dancing club.  Ten points awarded for the fashion gamble, 100 points deducted for the dodgy outcome. Proof that designer Alexander Wang may have mastered the off-duty model look, but still has a way to go before he should be let loose on the red carpet.

Everyone’s favorite fashion sweetheart SJP didn’t let us down in a shimmering Halston Heritage and Fred Leighton design with her beautiful hair flower probably the best accessory of the night.

Probably the most daring piece that worked was Zac Posen’s billowing watercolor train worn by Canadian supermodel, Coco Rocha.

Jessica Biel and Justin Trousersnake pulled off the old Hollywood look in Ralph Lauren but I thought lacked personality and looked uneasy facing the flashbulbs.

Conversely, Demi Moore, who looked content & physically fantastic, got it wrong in her aluminium foil-inspired Lanvin dress.

And to finish off I know that the top fashion designers never like to detract from their designs and make themselves the artwork but Ralph Lauren’s classic black-tie with jeans and shiny black shoes only made him look like someone’s dad trying to be hip. And why does Karl Lagerfeld always feel the need to look like a Quaker?!
