‘Sportswear meets rock and roll with plenty of Parisian flair’ is the perfect way to sum up Isabel Marant’s Spring 2012 collection.

On a colour palette of red, dark pink, lemon, sky blue, orange, purple and black, leggy supermodels took to the runway wearing American-football-inspired tops with slouchy sweat pants, denim jeans or shorts with a patchwork or tie-dye treatment.

Whilst feeling for the models in the hot venue, I did love the chunky knits. They were presented as oversized grandpa cardigans, racerback dresses, long-sleeve dresses with hoodies, and classic cable knit sweaters. These pieces are perfect for keeping you warm on those mid-summer nights when the temperatures drop.

We also saw tie-dye jumpsuits, oversized shirts, tie-dye mini dresses, lurex mini dresses, rompers, cropped textured pants, oversized jackets and slouchy tie-dye pants. The crochet dresses and tops would make for perfect beach cover-ups.

There was a selection of Rajasthani embroideries pieces which included vests and mini dresses; they added something exotic to this free-spirited collection.

Models walked the runway in sexy ankle chain strappy sandals, which will be snapped up by many celebrities next season.

Favourites: Tie-dye jumpsuit and Fringed sweater with snake-skin pants

Who I See Wearing This Collection: Every French Vogue editor, models off-duty, Kate Moss, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Miranda Kerr, Kate Bosworth, Elle MacPherson, Rachel Bilson, Victoria Beckham, Zoe Saldana, Diane Kruger, Sienna Miller, Thandie Newton, Alexa Chung and Megan Fox

Zoe Saldana looked uber sexy as she made her way to a television studio in Cannes to appear on “Le Grand Journal.”

The actress wore a form-fitting Dolce & Gabbana mini dress from the Fall 2011 collection.

Her white star print dress with a peek-a-boo lace bra gives her a minuscule waist as it wraps around her slender frame.

Black pumps and silver hooped earrings completed her look.

Zoe Saldana was in Paris, France last night to help continue the celebrations for Michael Kors’ 30th anniversary at a special dinner at the US Ambassador’s Residence honouring the designer during Paris Fashion Week.

The dinner also marks the opening of the first Michael Kors boutique on Rue Saint Honore.

Zoe looked amazing wearing a Michael Kors Fall 2011 ensemble fresh from the runway.

Her white satin cross front body suit was paired with black crepe jersey tapered pants which have crystal embroidered details.

Zoe completed her look with Christian Louboutin ‘Luxura’ ankle strap pumps and Lana Jewelry white gold ‘Long Sin’ earrings.

Effortlessly chic as always.

For the second year in the row a Givenchy Couture gown has won our votes for Best Dressed of the Week following Oscar night.

Last year it was Zoe Saldana, this year Cate the Great.

I didn’t know Cate Blanchett was going to the Oscars so I may have woken my neighbours by screaming “Oh My God….” when my red carpet goddess came on screen.

Her gown was exquisite. With the exception of Mila Kunis she really had not competition on the night.

Long live the Queen.

I really enjoyed the change of direction from this Emilio Pucci Fall 2011 collection.

The sexy flowing dresses and kaftans were replaced by uber sexy fitted dresses.

Peter Dundas went from concentrating on legs via thigh-high splits and minis to focusing on the bust as breasts heaved over tight corseted tops.

Either way Blake Lively will be happy.

The presentation gave us rock n’ roll elegance with the sexy twist.

We saw bold prints and baroque embellishments on form-fitting bodices and dresses.

Chic daywear included velvet riding coats with leg of mutton sleeves, tailored riding pants, puff-sleeve jackets, jacquard jackets, A-line skirts and feminine lace blouses.

I loved the inclusion of several classic signature Pucci prints.

The finale included some of the sexiest looks I have seen all fashion week.

Green goddess dresses with embellished asymmetrical sleeves and the final look had a sexy bejeweled bodice which I would love to see on Angelina Jolie.

Key accessories included Tyrol hats, heeled hiking boots, leather clutches, suede shoulder bags and signature sexy sandals.

I loved the messy plaits which I’ve dubbed the ‘Pucci Plait.’ I wonder which starlet will work this style into their red carpet look.

Alessandro Dell’Acqua’s No. 21 collections are receiving a lot of celebrity attention at the moment, so I was keen to check out the new Fall 2011 collection.

The sweet yet sexy collection would shift from blouses and pencil skirts to dangerous plunging necklines on a peachy, buttercup, metallic silver, pink, white, black and grey colour palette.

We saw lady-like secretary dresses, shimmering sweaters, sweater dresses, plunging necklines, a pastel blouse paired with metallic pencil skirt, cute cardi’s, cigarette pants, boxy feathered jackets and lace dresses.

The feathered and laces look caught my attention. The feathered looks had plenty of movement on the runway, whilst the lace looks had a sultry innocence about them.

This was a beautifully simple collection with wearability, sex appeal and personality.

Key accessories included orange earrings and t-bar pointy pumps.

Favourites: White short sleeved dress with feathered skirt and lemon lace dress with pink waistband

Who I See Wearing This Collection: Kate Bosworth, Zoe Saldana, Ginnifer Goodwin, Megan Fox and Camilla Belle
