Kim Kardashian was spotted with her sister Kourtney hitting up a local Health Food market in the East Village while filming her new reality television show.

Kim looked fabulous wearing a rich red sleeveless dress with a cut out peplum and pleated A-line skirt from the Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2011 collection.

Kim paired her chic dress with a Jimmy Choo “Candy” clutch and snakeskin mary jane platform pumps by Christian Louboutin.

Planting a garden filled with mint, kale, basil, and salvia isn’t the only way Gwyneth Paltrow is getting ready for the warmer weather.

In the 38-year-old star’s latest post on her healthy-living website GOOP.com, she shares her spring fashion picks.

But dressing like the actress, author and lifestyle guru is going to cost you: $18,301 to be exact.

Paltrow, who is known for her super chic style, teamed up with luxury online retailer Net-a-Porter to put together six outfit concepts revolving around key wardrobe “basics” including a $785 Stella McCartney jersey tank dress, a $1840 Chloe silk jacket, and a $90 Kain T-shirt. The least expensive item is a Splendid cotton tank for $44.
The svelte star, who poses in each look (including a bikini), calls her sartorial picks “great pieces which are versatile enough to wear to the office and during your summer leisure time.”

This is all great but Gwyneth forgot to give her readers an alternative in pricing and now they are asking for it. If she can team up with net-a-porter.com I’m sure she could do the same with more affordable brands like COACH… especially since she’s their New Brand Ambassador! Most of us can spend $300 on a new bag but $3000 could make some people lose sleep at night… just saying.

After months of speculation, the designer behind Kate Middleton’s wedding dress has finally been revealed!

The soon-to-be Duchess of Cambridge walked down the aisle in a stunning lace Alexander McQueen wedding gown designed by Sarah Burton.

Kate completed her look with a simple veil held in place by a Cartier “halo” tiara lent to her by the Queen and diamond earrings, a gift from her parents, Carole and Michael Middleton.

The official Royal Wedding website says the bride chose Sarah Burton and the the house of McQueen “for the beauty of its craftsmanship and its respect for traditional workmanship and the technical construction of clothing”.

The site adds:

“Miss Middleton wished for her dress to combine tradition and modernity with the artistic vision that characterises Alexander McQueen’s work. Miss Middleton worked closely with Sarah Burton in formulating the design of her dress.”

The dress itself features a lace applique of hand-cut flowers on the bodice and skirt made by the Royal School of Needlework.

All fabrics used were made by British companies and included English lace and French Chantilly lace, ivory and white satin gazar with the underskirt made of silk tulle trimmed with Cluny lace.

The back of the custom McQueen gown was finished with 58 gazar and organza covered buttons fastened by Rouleau loops.

Kate also wore hand-made McQueen shoes made of ivory duchesse satin with lace hand-embroidered by the Royal School of Needlework.

Facing the genius that was Alexander McQueen, maybe, people will realize what they have before losing it! Other than gorgeously wearing the Spring Summer 2010 McQueen dress on the cover of InStyle, Salma’s inside interview touches her family and fashion interests. Married to fashion mogul Francois-Henri Pinault, Salma is, more than ever, tied to fashion. That makes her opinion even more relevant. But who am I kidding? I still believe the more relevant thing until now is her McQueen cover!

Lady Gaga is seen in her new video for Bad Romance wearing three different pairs of  Alexander McQueen shoes… not just any Alexander McQueen shoes BUT shoes just previewed in the 2010 spring runway show.

To make things even better, she also wears head-to-toe McQueen straight off the catwalk about three and a half minutes into the song. The shiny, reptilian ensemble that she chose was a total standout across all of Paris Fashion Week, and deserves to be enshrined in pop culture history.

…..and if you look close enough and don’t blink you’ll spot her wearing the Hello Kitty eyes from the Hello Kitty 35th anniversary shoot from a few months back.
