The menswear phenomenon has been going strong for quite some time, so shorts suits have been on the periphery of our trend radar (see Diane Kruger in Jason Wu Resort). But designers really pushed the two-piecers into the spotlight on the Spring runways. While Carven’s Guillaume Henry and Proenza Schouler’s Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez cut upper-thigh-grazing versions that are decidedly NSFW, there were others, like Prabal Gurung and Trussardi’s Umit Benan, who showed more forgiving inseams. “I think a high-waisted, thigh-baring short is incredibly chic if you have the legs to rock it,” A.L.C. designer Andrea Lieberman told Style.com. “But I’m also a huge fan of the knee-length city short and blazer—it’s all about confidence.” Amanda Seyfried had confidence to spare in her turquoise shorts suit from H&M at the London premiere of In Time—what a refreshing, rebellious change-up from an overworked gown. Our consensus: If you’ve got great legs, flaunt ‘em.CLICK FOR A SLIDESHOW, and let us know if you’ll play up your gams with shorts suits.—Brittany Adams

Results are in: Robert Geller has been named GQ and the CFDA’s Best New Menswear Designer in America. The winnings? $50,000 cash and a limited-edition collection for Levi’s. The 32-year-old Hamburg-born designer was anointed by a panel composed of Thom Browne, CFDA executive director Steven Kolb, GQ creative director Jim Moore, GQ editor in chief Jim Nelson, Levi’s VP of merchandising Steve Evans, and Kevin Harter, VP of fashion direction for Bloomingdale’s. That makes it an awfully big day for Geller, who’s also showing this evening (and couldn’t be reached for comment). When we caught up with him at the contest’s Wednesday night presentation party (read our party report here), he was trying not to lose the “mellow vibe” of the menswear industry. “You’re presenting what you have, so it’s a little bit of a passive role. But it’s a competition in the end, and you do want to win it.” Which is why, later tonight, Geller is going to have some not-so-mellow celebrating to do. Next stop, womenswear?—Darrell Hartman

First Audrey Tautou, now Diane Kruger is making me fall in love with the Chanel Fall 2009 Couture collection.

Many of you have already made claims as to who your BDOTW is, well you hadn’t banked on Diane knocking it out of the fashion ball park at this event.

I don’t think we’ve ever seen so many major players bring their ‘A’ game in one week on the red carpet.

The magpie in me is drooling over the midnight blue sequins embroidered onto the dress, whilst the cynic in me is grateful she ditched the train.

The peplum skirt appears to be longer on Diane than on the runway which I prefer.

My only criticism is that the dress didn’t need the necklace.

Blake Lively is giving us everything we expect from her.

Signature pose – check
Flawless make-up – check

But in a refreshing change of pace, Blake opted for a classic black Chanel Resort 2010 gown covering both the twins and her legs.

She could’ve worn a cute sassy dress like Diane, but some may have said accused her for being too predictable.

I applaud her for switching things up.

I think the floral corsage necklace kept this look current for the young actress.

Leigh Lezark picked the perfect dress to suit her funky personality.

The blue tulle dress is cute, but Leigh still gives it plenty of attitude as you would expect.

Slowly but surely Katharine’s McPhee’s blonde ‘do is growing on me.

Last week on “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien” the former American Idol contestant perform her new single “Had it All”.

She looked gorgeous commanding the stage wearing a very chic Marchesa Fall 2009 black ensemble.

The look consisted of a plunging sculptured black jacket with a cut-out star shoulder detail, paired with narrow tuxedo pants.

I love her added detail of that stunning jeweled belt.

It really adds a lot of pizazz to her look, making me love her look over the runway.

Black boots and a two-tone diamond bracelet complete the look.

This has to be one of my favourite looks from Katharine.

The Fame Monsters were out in force this weekend to see their queen when Lady Gaga performed a sold-out four-night run at Radio City Music Hall. The Haus of Gaga only attired one concertgoer—the Lady herself, natch—but that’s not to say the evening lacked sartorial splendor offstage. We sent our intrepid reporter to cover the action, and all the studs, sequins, and, yes, Marie Antoinette wigs that that implies.

The Valentino “Rockstud” collection is one of its most popular of the season.

It can be seen draped on the arm of many of Hollywood’s starlets as a tote, flap front shoulder bag, a satchel, a dome satchel and a clutch, but it’s the shoulder handbag which celebs really love.

Sarah Jessica Parker, Anne Hathaway, Cameron Diaz, Dakota Fanning, Jessica Simpson, Jessica Alba, Jenna Dewan, and Kirsten Dunst are all fans of this bag.

Jessica Alba was one of the first spotted with this bag in black earlier this year, but the trend has been to opt for the nude version.

The bag features sparkling pyramid studs that run the length of the handle. There is also a scalloped and studded platinum-finish metal flip-lock on the face.

These celebs show that the bag can be worn dressed up or casually.

You can buy this bag in nude or black from Saks.com and Luisa via Roma.

With England in the grip of a Tiger-sized sports scandal—one involving John Terry, captain of the national football team, and his best friend and teammate’s girlfriend, who he apparently got pregnant (bad move for 2009’s Dad of the Year)—last night’s launch of the kit the team will wear for their World Cup bid in South Africa this year was a surprisingly low-key affair. Mind you, there were no actual footballers present, just a small group of sponsors, reps from Umbro, and the uni’s designer, Aitor Throup. He’s been busy. The Best-Looking Designer in Fashion™ is moving out of his years-long best-kept-secret phase with the launch next fall of a capsule collection of trousers, to be followed by a full collection the following season. Throup debuted the pants during the men’s shows in Paris with an elaborate, eerie installation (pictured) that highlighted the complex conceptual thought that goes into everything he does. Concepts aside, his designs offer a genuine re-evaluation of basic items, subtly with the footballers’ gear, more overtly with his own line, which promises to make you look and feel quite different in your clothes. And if that sounds mysterious, that’s because Aitor is also the Most Enigmatic Designer in Fashion™.

Megan Fox covered up her legs – but not that damn Marilyn Monroe tattoo – and looked stunning for the UK Premiere of “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” at Odeon Leicester Square last night.

The sexy actress decided to leave something to the imagination by wearing a black v-neck high twist jersey Kaufman Franco gown.

The femme fatale tormented the males in the crowd with her backless black gown with a plunging neckline.

You will be please to notice that despite the plunge and the backless feature she’s not smuggling raisins under her gown.

She accessorized with black heels, oversized hoop earrings and a silver cuff.

Her long hair was styled in loose waves, whilst her make-up was lighter than we’ve seen in a while as she opted for glossy pink lips and smoky eyes.

This is a complete 180 from her Cavalli look.

Kerry Katona was seen all over the British press on Wednesday wearing this stunning Karen Millen sequin bow accented dress to the Birthday Party for OK! Magazine Editor in Chief Lisa Byrne at Flemings Hotel in London.

What was the big deal?

The big deal was that this is the best that Kerry ‘car crash’ Katona has looked in a very long while.

Scratch that.

This is the best she’s ever looked.

She paired her dress with the matching Karen Millen sequin bow peep toes and matching clutch to complete her look.

Faryl Smith arrived at the launch for ‘Serenata 2010′ in London yesterday wearing the same dress.

This was either a total coincidence, or a clever PR move by the teenage classical singer. Either way she also looks great in the Karen Millen dress.

I have to give this to Kerry because she’s battled her demons, finally got rid of that useless husband of hers and come out looking absolutely matchy matchy fantastic.

The Karen Millen dress and shoes are available to purchase from Karen Millen and ASOS.
