When Bryan Boy tweated that Anna Wintour was wearing jeans, I thought he was playing a twisted April’s Fool joke.

As its April 2nd, I then prayed that she’s wasn’t wearing Jessica Simpson mum jeans.

With my fingers crossed I clicked the link find Ms Wintour looking refreshingly relaxed in her dark denim J Brand jeans and a Proenza Schouler top.

She was papped wearing the jeans yesterday whilst enjoying her second love – tennis – during the Sony Ericsson Open at Crandon Park Tennis Center in Key Biscayne, Florida.

I think this is a first.

Does anyone else remember seeing her wearing jeans before? She usually wears Oscar de la Renta to tennis matches.

Some of you may remember that Anna Wintour’s first ever November 1988 American Vogue cover featured a model wearing Christian Lacroix Couture and a pair of jeans.

Jeans are clearly a part of her fashion history.

The thing about fashion week is that you see the same faces over and over again.

That hasn’t happened during Mercedes-Benz Russia Fashion Week, but I came across a very familiar face today.

He’s commonly known as, “That guy in the front row”, but his name is James Goldstein.

Mr Goldstein was decked out in a Versace sequined black and white jacket today, with his trademark leather cowboy hat, black pants and a black top with a scarf tied around his neck.

I had a brief chat with him after seeing him at Fashion Weeks in New York, London, Paris and Milan, I was curious to find out what he loved about Russia.

“I love the Moscow; the people treat me really well. I have a great time whenever I come here, so I decided that I might as well come during fashion week and enjoy that at the same time as I enjoy Moscow”.

This is not his first time attending Mercedes-Benz Russia Fashion Week. He said, “I’ve been coming to these Fashion Weeks twice a year for about 5 years”.

“I love the creativity of fashion, I love to be fashionable myself and I just can always enjoy watching fashion shows anywhere in the world. The more I go to, the more I love fashion”.

I asked him about his Balmain Spring 2011 red leather embellished jacket which he wore front row at the Balmain Fall 2011 presentation during Paris Fashion Week.

He shared, “I just got that jacket a few weeks ago when I was in Paris, it a spectacular jacket and it’s my favourite piece of the current season”.

“Some of my regular designers over the past few years – Cavalli, Galliano, Gucci, they didn’t come up with much this season of interest to me, so I have to rely on some other designers.”

Blake Lively attended WonderCon 2011 yesterday, which is being held at the Moscone Center South in San Francisco, California.

When I saw her in this Carven open-front dress from the Spring 2011 collection I did chuckle.

I laughed because I know this will be yet another love it or hate it look.

I personally think she’s having a lot of fun with fashion, and that’s clearly showcased with this look.

She added a white bustier to her midnight-blue and black crepe open-front dress.

The dress has accentuated padded shoulders, short sleeves and a puffy skirt.

On this occasion I do love her two tone ankle strap Christian Louboutin Très Décolleté pumps, but I don’t love her hair as it looks really messy.

I’ve asked before, and I’m sure when it comes to Blake I will ask again.

Do you love it or hate it?

Blake Lively was spotted in the Christian Louboutin Très Décolleté pumps at Wondercon. These heels are from Louboutin’s Spring 2011 collection and available online in black & nude at the official US Christian Louboutin boutique.

The graduates of Laboratoriya 13 showcased their work during Mercedes-Benz Russia Fashion Week today.

Sasha Telitsina, Elena Mashtakova, Yana Pechorina, Lana Bilyuga, Denis Doroshenko, Olga Primerova, Lyudmila Golovan, Anna Arbelina, Irina Zubareva, Alla Belousova, Lyudmila Hatlamadzhieva, Marusya Zaitseva and Rusudan Kobyakova presented 5 looks each during this show.

The Russian designers showed tremendous enthusiasm; using innovative techniques and stand out colours.

I loved Sasha Telitsina’s sexy nun inspired collection; the punky attitude of Lana Bilyuga’s presentation; the lady-like looks by Olga Primerova; the bright mix of colours presented by Alla Belousova and Rusudan Kobyakova for pushing the envelope and not being afraid to produce a collection that Lady GaGa would appreciate.
