This was arguably Alexander McQueen’s best ever runway show. More than 1,000 guests sat spellbound as one of the most beautiful, breathtaking fashion events was unveiled in front of their eyes.

McQueen’s has arguably been one of the most desirable show passes every season since he started out 14 years ago and, if that’s the case, the autumn/winter 2008-9 one will be the golden ticket.

McQueen has explained the premise of this season’s fashion show, describing his idea behind the theme:

“I’ve got a 600-year-old elm tree in my garden and I made up this story of a girl who lives in it and comes out of the darkness to meet a prince and become a queen”.

This was truly an unmissable event, and as you can see by these gorgeous pictures, McQueen’s designs are unlike any out there. More romantic and feminine than ever, McQueen certainly reminded us why his name is so renowned in the fashion world today.

There was certainly some light at The Dark Knight premiere in New York last week.

Although the entire cast basically stuck to basic black formal wear, it suited the event - the premiere of the highly anticipated movie The Dark Knight. However, there were a few shots of color here and there, perfectly placed and from Morgan and Maggie to Gary and Christian…they all looked like true A-listers.

This movie has been receiving a huge amount of buzz, largely due to the astounding performance of the incredibly talented Heath Ledger who unfortunately passed away back in February.

Much of the buzz surrounding this movie related to Ledger and his Oscar-worthy performance in the flick, but the other actors involved are certainly none to overlook, in terms of both performance and style.

Maggie Gyllenhaal looked ravishing at the premiere, in a long black strapless dress with a floral design spread across the side.

She wore a heavy gold corsage-like cuff bracelet and pendant drop earrings, both which were reportedly by designer Fred Leighton, a favorite of Sarah Jessica Parker, Angelina Jolie, and other celebrities.

She kept it very simple and yet looked absolutely stunning, and all eyes were on her.

The tremendous Gary Oldman looked great next to her, in a handsome suit, purple shirt and tie. I love the subtleness of color here, and the entire cast looked nothing less than spectacular when they lined up together to pose for pictures.

We often see an outfit recurrence on the red carpet, and this was no different.

This time it was Khloe Kardashian and Lauren Conrad who sported the same sexy Dolce & Gabbana bustier dress, Khloe at her birthday party in Las Vegas and Lauren at the premiere of The Dark Knight in New York City.

Right off the bat I have to give it to Lauren, not that the Kardashian sister’s body isn’t great, but with this bustier style dress I think it better suits a smaller bust as on Lauren.

Miss Conrad also opted for better accessories, choosing a simple pair of black peep-toe Louboutins and stacked bracelets while Khloe went with gladiator-style chunky heels and large hoop earrings.

I definitely think our girl from The Hills takes the cake on this one even though it was Khloe’s birthday, what do you think?

One of my all time favorite fashion designers, Betsey Johnson, is absolutely…amazing.

There is really no other word you could use to better describe this fantastically quirky, unimaginably talented, modern and hip designer.

She has some delightful new arrivals in her store, and I thought I would show a few off for you just to make sure that you are up to date in case you are missing out.

Of the hundreds of recent designs released by the lovely Miss Johnson, here are a few of my personal favorites.

The MMVAs were last night - MuchMusic Video Awards for those of you who live under a rock - and of course I was dying to see what everyone was wearing.

All in all it was a terrific show overall but in particular the fashions that everyone was sporting.

Rihanna’s look for me was, well, okay. I didn’t really enjoy or see the point of the sailor-inspired hat with the pirate frill shirt…oh right and the leather pants.

It was a bit much for me, I like creativity but this was just too much black, too much frill, too much everything.

It was similar to Hannah Simone’s purple frilly dress but hers was just enough, while Rihanna’s version I thought was a bit over the top.

Of course I’m going to throw K-Os in here because I am a huge fan, not only of his incredible music but of his style as well.

K-Os is definitely one in a million, he can throw together almost anything and make it look fashionable.

I think this guy is a true talent and come on…how many people can pull off yellow rimmed sunglasses and still look gorgeous.

K-Os is just that good.

I have to head to one of the hosts of the show, Devon Soltendieck, for this next one.

All the hosts looked great but I thought Devon’s style perfectly suited the event, and not only that but his personality.

Anyone who watches MuchMusic already knows that Devon definitely shows off his personality in his clothes and he was just as great to look at last night.

Now on to one that I didn’t like so much. Whitney Port is a beautiful girl, but her “dress” last night, in my opinion, was atrocious.

I’m not sure if she thought Canada was as cold as the North Pole or if she was just trying to play it casual, but she would have looked better in almost anything other than this.

The loose fabric doesn’t drape right on her curvalicious body and leaves her looking like she’s got no figure at all. Doesn’t she “work” for a fashion magazine? Maybe she should take some fashion tips from Perez…

Perez Hilton was in attendance, and looked stylish and very well put together, punched up with a pink shirt and striped tie.

When Perez Hilton is beating almost all the ladies in terms of fashion, you know that there are a few missing stylists in the chain.

At least we can say that there were no huge fashion disasters, and in my opinion Whitney Port’s peacock-inspired number was pretty much the worst one of the night.

Other than that, the awards show was fantastic as always, and here’s to everyone in attendance who had to deal with a bit of torrential downfall there.

Go Canada!

New York Bridal Week wound down on Friday, with most editors fatigued and hoping that they never again have to see another white dress.

Okay so maybe it was not all that bad but editors were definitely exhausted, although all agree that it was more than worth it to check out some of the latest and greatest in bridal fashions.

Vera Wang was one of my personal favorites for this bridal wear fashion week, where she offered 32 gorgeous different bridal gowns, all exquisite in their own right.

Vera Wang was born to design wedding dresses. She always gets everything perfect in a dress from start to finish, from the draping and color to the length and embellishment.

There were many other designers who displayed their new bridal designs during this year’s New York Bridal Week, including Reem Acra, Carolina Herrera, Elizabeth Filmore, Monique Lhullier, and Oscar de la Renta.
