Most fashion houses such as Celine and others focused on minimalism - taking fashion back to the sharp tailoring that focuses on the woman wearing it. Meanwhile, Chanel Fall 2010 disregarded that theme and came all the way out of the left field with full on fur–excuse me– faux fur jumpsuits, lady like dress suits, and fur for men; all of this upon a dramatic icy arctic background. Karl Lagerfeld must be predicting some mass natural disaster in which the whole world would be frozen over in Fall 2010. Check out some of the looks below.

Award season finally came to a close last night! No other award show can compare to the drama that is brought at the Oscars. This year in particular most of the looks were just incredible! SJP, Cameron Diaz, and Nicole Richie were just some of our favorites.

Sarah Jessica Parker was a ray of sunshine in Chanel Haute Couture.

Twilight Star, Kristen Stewart cleaned up nicely in a Monique Lhuillier navy trumpet gown.

Cameron Diaz took a page out of the Taylor Swift Book of Style in this shimmering gold Oscar de la Renta gown.

Long gone are the wild partying days for Nicole Richie. Paris Hilton's Ex-BFF looks elegant in this vintage Reem Acra gown.

Sandra Bullock looked every bit of the 1920's siren, with a popping pink lip, wearing a sleek beaded Marchesa.

Who was your favorite of the night?

We hear that finding the perfect wedding dress can be a little like the proverbial needle in a haystack. Only in this version of the fable, the needle will cost thousands of dollars when you do finally find it! Yay!

All joking aside, if you’re at a loss and need some help narrowing down your dress options, try the knot’s interactive photo dress search. Whether your perfect dress is long-sleeved, short-sleeved, or no-sleeved, you can filter through a host of dress options to find the one that calls your name.

Search by designer, or by silhouette, or neckline - or the all-important price range. It’s a little idea, but it’s an overdue one!

The happy steak owner

Last Saturday night Nicole Richie hosted a party at the Cooper Square Hotel in NYC for her new clothing line, Winter Kate. Nicole’s tunic above is from the collection. Inspiration for the collection is drawn from Richie’s favorite animals, like peacocks, and includes mostly tops.

For years, Nicole has been accused of being too thin, but I’m happy to report she looked healthy and vibrant. And to drive the message of heath and happiness an extra mile… she was standing perched by a shelf at the penthouse party, all by herself, chowing down on a steak and fries like nobody was watching. It was wonderfully refreshing— and it looked delicious!

NY-based celebrity doctor Richard Ash, MD, shares 3 interesting positive correlations between steak and your well-being. (Note: Dr. Ash is not saying steak is “healthy,” but read on for some reasons why you could do worse.)

3 Reasons to Feel Great About Eating Steak, from Dr. Ash MD

1. “Initially people feel better when they eat meat because it makes their body alkaline (the effect you get from eating a lot fruits and vegetables) for the first 24 hours,’ Dr. Ash said. “But then the rest of the week will trigger your body to do the reverse.” Crash and burn! At least she’s living in the moment

2. “Steak is also a good balancer. If you’ve been on antibiotics or you have acid reflux, or if you have chronic candidia (yeast overgrowth) – steak will help you feel better.” Not sure if Nicole had any of the above, but if she did, 2 more points.

3. Also, according to Dr. Ash, “If you’re trying to gain weight, you don’t want to use steak and fries – it’s not something that will necessarily promote weight gain.” So, there are better foods for this— so you don’t have to feel as though you are deliberately injecting yourself with fresh cow lard every time you take a bite.

This should all come as great news for carnivores worldwide! Also, for famous party hosts: It’s your party, you can house a steak in the corner if you want to!

Okay, so she didn’t quite clean her plate – a lesson in moderation from Nicole Richie

Given Alexander McQueen’s untimely and tragic death, we wanted to pay tribute to the vibrant life that shone through his work and his collections. Here’s just one instance of McQueen’s inimitable style: the infamous “Armadillo Shoes” worn by Lady Gaga in her edgy “Bad Romance” video.

With 10-inch heels, the shoes look almost alien–used by Gaga to great effect in dancing sequences, where you have to admit “alien” is a pretty great compliment.

What’s your favorite McQueen look?
