Frock horror! Lindsay Lohan supports Kanye at his Paris Fashion Show (if only anything was supporting her...)

By Amelia Proud


If ever there was a match made in gossip column heaven, it's Lindsay Lohan and Kanye West... though sadly they are just good friends.

Still, together they are a maelstrom of controversy, terrible judgement and frequently awful style choices.

So it's both apt - and very funny - that the Lindsay should show up to support the hip hop star at his first fashion show in Paris today.

Sack the stylist: Lindsay Lohan attended the DW by Kanye West show at Lycee Henri IV today, and she's looked better

Not known for her sartorial acumen, Lindsay can look incredible but frequently gets it wrong.

Today was one of those days, as while her tousled hair and 60s' inspired make up looked lovely, Lindsay's dress was a disaster.

The pale ecru drained the actress and model's porcelain skin, and the creased fabric made her look scruffy and not stylish.

But the worst aspect of the frock was the lack of support offered to the blonde's cleavage, a bra would've improved the look beyond measure.

Smiling: Lindsay seemed perky but her cleavage was anything but in this horrendous number

Lack of support: The style of this gown was a no no for someone with Lindsay's figure

The often troubled headline-hogger was also without the support of rumoured beau Philipp Plein, 33 , but she was sporting a new ring on her left hand.

While it wasn't gracing her engagement finger, bands on this hand often signify a promise or commitment.

West made his fashion show debut with this KW by Kanye West Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2012 show.

The College Dropout showed off his new line at the Lycee Henri IV venue, with Lindsay and Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, Ciara and Jared Leto in attendance.

The usually confident West told reporters following the catwalk display, 'I'm so scared, I'm so nervous.'

Look of concern: But Lindsay had no need to fear, Kanye's show was well-received

Her future's so bright, she gotta wear shades: Lindsay kept her Jackie O sunglasses on, even indoors

Nervous: Kanye and Ciara at the show

He continued: 'The biggest conversation I hope I can end tonight is whole 'celebrity designer' thing. That's the biggest hurdle when you want to get amazing people to work for you.'

Lindsay needs to work harder on her personal style, as fashion is a more lucrative sphere for her than acting these days.

It's all down to Plein, who is a German designer and the man who appointed his love interest as his company spokesmodel.

The pair have been seen enjoying each other's company in recent days after meeting at Milan Fashion Week.

Plein described Lohan as 'authentic, talented and beautiful' at a press conference, after announcing she would be the face of his 2012 fashion line.

Not your colour, Lindsay: Lohan eyes the neutral shades, but should stick to red, black and jewel hues

So proud: Lindsay smiles as she realises that her friend's show is a success

Double trouble: The Olsen sisters were also in attendance to see Kanye's wares

Fashionistas: Sky Ferreira and Jared Leto also rolled up to celebrate the musician becoming designer

He also shared a kiss with the actress after they had a casual dinner in Milan earlier in the week.

According to Fox 411, Lohan and Plein are 'hooking up,' with one source telling the showbiz site: 'There's a lot of chemistry there.'

However, a representative for the actress denied the pair were dating, while a spokesman for Plein had no comment.

The website also reports that Lohan will make in the region of half a million dollars for her new modelling gig and associated appearances.

'It took two months of various negotiations because people were hesitant to hire her,' said a source close to the deal.

'But Plein is really happy with Lindsay; she loves the clothes and is working really hard and doing a great job.'

Lohan took over from Mischa Barton as the face of Plein's new collection and admitted that the collaboration came about 'spontaneously.'

She said: 'Something important to know about this collection is that its expressing something a little bit more edgy.'

She later added: 'Maybe people’s perceptions of me have been kind of taken out of context just from what you see and read.'

'My daughter is so excited I'm getting married': Heather Locklear says Ava is thrilled about her engagement to Jack Wagner

By Daily Mail Reporter


It will be third time lucky for Heather Locklear when she ties the knot with fiancé Jack Wagner.

And her 14-year-old daughter Ava is just thrilled that her mother has found love again.

The actress announced last month that she was getting married to her longtime partner and says her teen is happy about the planned nuptials.

Happy family: Heather Locklear says her daughter Ava is thrilled about her engagement to Jack Wagner (pictured in February)

'Ava was so excited when we told her,' Heather revealed in People magazine's new issue, Gorgeous At Any Age.

'She hugged Jack, said congratulations, and she immediately wanted to see the ring. Then she ran and Facebooked her new stepbrother.'

Ava chimed in: 'I want her to do what makes her happy. That's the main point.'

The teen says that she has her mother's approval of her own beau and he has an unsurprising hobby.

Betrothed: Heather and Jack got engaged in August and she has been sporting a huge engagement ring

'He's tall and plays guitar. He's so sweet,' Ava gushed.

Heather joked: 'She's like, "I like a musician"... How weird. Where does she get that from?'

The actress and her own beau have just come back from a beach holiday in Hawaii where Heather celebrated her milestone birthday.

The couple - who played each other's love interests in Melrose Place - have been dating for four years.

According to reports this month, the couple were considering starring in their own reality show, which would document their lives and was to include Locklear's daughter from her marriage to Richie Sambora, Ava, and Wagner's two sons.

But the idea was shelved because Locklear considered herself 'a serious actress.'


As they were: Ava's father is Bon Jovi Rocker Richie Sambora who Heather divorced in 2007 after a 13 year marriage

While Wagner has been a regular on daytime soap The Bold and the Beautiful since 2003, Locklear reprised her role as Amanda Woodward in the ill-fated Melrose Place update in 2009.

They got engaged in August and she has been seen sporting an impressive diamond engagement ring.

In 2007 she divorced Bon Jovi rocker Richie Sambora after getting hitched in 1994.

She was also married to Motely Crue drummer Tommy Lee for seven years between 1986 and 1993.

Heather recently filmed The Assistants, which will also feature Disney star David Henrie.

Meanwhile it has emerged Ava has landed her first movie role in Judd Apatow's new comedy flick.

She will be taking a role in the new comedy, which is as yet untitled.

According to Variety, Sambora will have a cameo role as the best friend of Maude Apatow, who will play one of Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann's two daughters.

Looking Fergalicious! Black Eyed Peas singer shows off her figure in fashion-forward leather shorts

By J J Anisiobi


She has never been the shy, retiring member of Black Eyed Peas.

And yesterday Fergie stole the show before she even stepped on stage.

The Dutchess was spotted leaving her hotel yesterday afternoon in a Grecian-style tunic and leather shorts ahead of a charity concert she was due to play at.

The Dutchess: Fergie is all smiles as she leaves her hotel for a concert in Central Park

Fergie accessorised with a large black leather handbag and over-sized sunglasses.

The reserved elegant look didn't last long though as the toned singer had a string of spectacular stage outfits awaiting her.

Model looks: Fergie's reserved dress didn't last long

Last night, at a rain soaked charity concert in New York's Central Park, she showed her fashionista side from the moment the group bounced on stage.

The Black Eyed Peas singer rocked a few different attention grabbing outfits during the concert and began the night in a futuristic-looking short black dress which was covered in reflective gold slates.

Golden: Fergie stole the show in her eye-catching outfits

Charitable girl: Fergie performs in Central Park last night with Black Eyed Peas

Her friend and band-mate will.i.am, sported a similar outfit in all black with silver slates on.

Next the wife of Josh Duhamel wore a black leotard with a blue denim jacket and fish-net tights as the band continued to perform through the bad weather.

As if wearing the most dazzling outfits wasn't enough Fergie also sang her solo singles Glamorous and Big Girls Don't Cry.

Just giving: will.i.am and Fergie perform on stage for charity

Fergalicious: The singer sang on through the pouring rain

She told the crowd: 'This is a dream. There's not many artists who have played Central Park.'

The I Gotta Feeling hitmakers headlined the free Concert 4 Nyc after the original gig on 11 June was cancelled at the last minute due to thunderstorms.

Over 60,000 fans packed onto the Great Lawn for the concert that was performed to aid the Robin Hood Foundation.

The dancers: Taboo and apl.de.ap perform in military style outfits


The foundation aims to bring children out of homelessness to increase the chances of them staying in school and thus increasing the likelihood that they will obtain steady work and earn a livable wage.

36-year-old Fergie strutted and jumped energetically around stage as she normally does, joined by fellow band members will.i.am, apl.de.ap and Taboo.

Later in the evening the London Bridge singer changed yet again into a leather catsuit and styled her hair into a big quiff.

Teammates: will.i.am and Fergie go through the motions

An emotional will.i.am said midway through the concert: 'The rain stopped us last time but it ain't gonna stop us this time!'

Black Eyed Peas raised over four million dollars for the Robin Hood Foundation after asking the audience to donate money via text.

Thank you: Black Eyed Peas take a moment to address the crowd

Rough night Kim? Kardashian looks glum as she covers up in large glasses and unflattering outfit

Rough night? Kim Kardashian looked glum as she left her hotel in New York today in an unflattering outfit


Kim Kardashian looks like she had a rough night.

The 30-year-old reality star left her hotel in New York this morning appearing like she had just thrown her outfit together and looked glum.

She hid behind dark glasses as she was makeup free and did not look like her usual glamorous self.


The newlywed, who recently married basketball player Kris Humphries, wore a pair of light coloured jeans, a beige blouse and black jacket.

She paired it with nude shoes, a large gold necklace and her ever present gargantuan wedding and engagement rings.

The reality star had her trusty black Hermes Birkin bag and made her way to her waiting vehicle from the Gansevoort Hotel which is her temporary home while in the city.

Stylist on vacation? The 30-year-old reality star went make up free and did not look well put together


Kim recently spoke about how she was introduced to female grooming.

She said her late father, Robert, once hired a professional make-up artist to teach her and her sisters how to do their own.

'My dad - when we were 14 - got us make up lessons for Christmas and had us videotape them and had a real-life person do our make up and teach us how to wear Make up,' she said of the experience she had with her sisters Kourtney and Khloe.

Kim told Radar Online that her father knew his daughters were going to start wearing make up and wanted them to look presentable.

'It was really cool and we have turned out to be the biggest trannies because of it,' she shared.

Working girl: The newlywed is in the Big Apple filming her spin off reality show Kourtney and Kim Take New York


Khloe Kardashian who is just as famous for her flawless complexion as sister Kim, said: 'We joke and say that we are like trannies because we love hair and make up. I don't think we necessarily need it, but we love it.'

Khloe who was interviewed with Kim, said of her younger older sister 'Kim definitely if you take off what's on her face, her face is the exact same.

'She doesn't need it, it's just a mind thing to her. She really doesn't need any of that on her face.'

Kim who doesn't hide her love of make up, hit back at the people who tell her to tone down her look, 'We had publicists and people who would tell us, "Girls, tone it down. Stop wearing all the makeup."'

But then we would read on our blogs - like in the comments and everything - and everyone was like, 'What lipstick is this, what mascara do you use?'

'We were like, 'We love make-up, so why try and be what we're not?'

The reality star is in the Big Apple filming the second series of their spin-off show Kourtney & Kim Take New York.

They have been enjoying themselves by going to a Black Eyed Peas concert and spent a day at an aquarium with Kourtney's son Mason.

How will plastic surgeons solve Madonna's 'pillow face'? Cosmetic experts discuss techniques to avoid her look

By Alice Smellie


Poor Madonna. The 53-year-old star once made headlines for her raunchy dance routines and high-fashion outfits.

But she – and a growing number of women like her – was at the centre of a rather different and more serious debate last week. Or rather, her face was.

At this year’s British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) Annual Scientific Meeting, medics from all over the world met to discuss the problem she appears to have in common with other celebrities, from Kylie to Lulu – ‘pillow face’.

Overuse of cosmetic fillers has been blamed for distorting women's features - Madonna has been the subject of discussion on the 'pillow face'


And top of the agenda were the latest cosmetic surgery techniques being used to avoid it.

‘This look is usually the result of too many injectable fillers,’ says BAAPS president and consultant plastic surgeon Fazel Fatah.

Fillers are injections – usually of chemicals that occur naturally in the body, such as hyaluronic acid or collagen.

Madonna has neither confirmed or denied having had cosmetic work, but recent pictures show her to have suspiciously full cheeks for a woman of her age and build.

‘As we age, our skin becomes depleted in the substances that give it elasticity and volume.

Older women, especially if they are slim, will notice a hollowing of the cheeks and around the eyes. These things visibly age the face,’ explains Mr Fatah.

‘Fillers are chemicals that are injected into areas in the face to plump out the skin, restoring a youthful look.

The problem is that patients may be so thrilled with the results they want more and more injections.

At a certain point, the face and lips look puffy and over-stuffed, hence the term pillow face.’

'This look is usually the result of too many injectable fillers,' says
plastic surgeon Fazel Fatah (Kylie Minogue has been rumoured to have used fillers)


But there is a new approach – a technique called lipomodelling, which restructures the face from within, tackling deeper tissues.

Lipomodelling involves the removal of fat from another part of the body, such as around the hips.

The fat is refined – separating it from liquid or oil from ruptured fat cells.

A cannula about 1mm in diameter then deposits tiny particles in tunnels within the tissue, creating layers of new tissue.

These have to take as a graft within the face – establishing circulation from around the tissue to become a viable part of the structure of the face.

They don’t dissipate or move so there is less need for repeat procedures. It looks and feels totally natural.

‘The pillow-face look is all about over-injecting filler material,’ says Mr Fatah.

‘Doctors should take responsibility, and explain to patients that they may look ridiculous if they ask for more and more.’

Lipomodelling is more mobile than traditional fillers because it moves like natural tissue.

It is also more easily reversible. Because it becomes part of your soft and fatty tissue, it can be suctioned out later.

The surgeons said Botox can be linked to over-raised eyebrows - seen in celebrities such as Nicole Kidman (left) and Janice Dickinson (right)

Among other trends that are firmly out of fashion and were discussed at the conference was the so-called ‘surprised look’, which can be a product of brow-lifts.

‘This is a lot to do with training and expertise. There are 17 muscles on each side of the face, which need targeting to achieve discreet results,’ says Mr Fatah.

‘You can always tell if someone has had Botox when you see those over-raised eyebrows.’

It may explain why celebrities including actress Nicole Kidman and supermodel Janice Dickinson look permanently astonished by life.

A new technique reshapes the eyebrows using surgery – and sometimes Botox as well – so that the eyebrow shape starts in the inner corner of the eye, rises over the pupil and then shapes back down to create a natural and feminine look.

Noses were also a hot topic of discussion. Now that all ethnic groups are requesting corrective procedures, surgeons are looking closely at ethnic rhinoplasty.

‘The structure of the nose varies between different ethnic groups,’ says Mr Fatah.

‘Surgery needs to maintain ethnicity. Choosing a nose from a different ethnic group is probably not a good idea.’ Michael Jackson was a prime example.

The conference dedicated half a day to a workshop on the psychological assessment of cosmetic- surgery patients.

‘This is vital in anyone considering surgery,’ says Mr Fatah. ‘It is disastrous to operate on anyone with an underlying psychological condition that changes their perception of reality.’

The notion of subtle grafting, filling and tweaking applies even to such niche techniques as earlobe reshaping and eyebrow transplants for those who have over-plucked or have skin conditions such as alopecia, which cause them to fall out.

And if you thought the recession had hit us all hard, think again.

‘Times may be tough, but demand for cosmetic procedures is still high,’ says a former president of BAAPS, plastic surgeon Nigel Mercer.

On a serious note at the meeting, shocking new statistics were revealed about the trivialisation of cosmetic surgery, particularly relating to the irresponsible ways in which some clinics are marketing their services – using voucher sites and even raffles.

‘The whole point about this meeting was to present new procedures and ideas for peer scrutiny,’ says Mr Mercer.

‘No one was selling any new procedures – we were discussing the future of surgery.’

Which is great news for the thousands of Britons who will be going under the knife or needle in the next 12 months.

By Eleanor Gower


Black tie: Jodie Foster looked chic in a simple black number at the New York Film Festival Opening night of her film Carnage


She is known more for her glittering and critically acclaimed career than her array of dazzling red carpet looks.

So it's no surprise that Jodie Foster plumped for a woman's staple party outfit - the little black dress - as she stepped out at the New York Film Festival tonight.

The 48-year-old actress looked chic in the simple black velvet number which she teamed with a pair of black heels.


However, despite her years of acting experience, the star looked distinctly uncomfortable at having to pose for the cameras at the event at New York's Lincoln Centre.

The star was attending the premiere of her forthcoming film Carnage which is opening the festival.

She stars alongside John C Reilly, who was also at the premiere and plays her husband in the Roman Polanski-directed film.
