Who Wore it Better: Brooklyn Decker or Jennifer Hudson?

Blush pink is definitely a huge color in the Victoria Beckham spring 2011 collection. Another trend of the collection is structured pencil dresses (which is a VB staple). This stunningly simplistic sleeveless obi seamed fitted dress, #84, embodies both of the top spring qualities.

Brooklyn Decker was first to wear this dress to the 46th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on April 3rd. She showed off a fabulously flirty shorter hairdo which I loved on her! Brooklyn paired the look with simple pointed pumps. Jennifer Hudson followed in her footsteps when she wore the same design on May 2nd to the 2nd Annual Mary J. Blige Honors Concert to Benefit FFAWN. Jennifer looked amazing showing off her fabulous figure in the body hugging design and Louboutin peeptoe booties.

So who wore it better? This is a tough call for me because I love aspects of both. I adore Brooklyn's hairstyle and how it showcases the offset neckline of the dress but I much perfer Jennifer's shoes... so it's more or less a tie for me. What do you guys think?



Victoria Tweets: Congratulations to Marc Jacobs

Tonight is the annual CFDA Awards celebration and Victoria's close friend and fellow fashion designer Marc Jacobs is going to be the night's guest of honor. Marc will take home the "2011 Lifetime Achievement" award.

Director Sofia Coppola, his friend, will present the award to him and the ceremony will be held in Lincoln Center in NYC and will be hosted by Anderson Cooper.

"It's crazy,'' Jacobs told the Associated Press. "I mean, I have a lot more to do. 'Achievement' sounds final. I'd like to call it `Lifetime of achievement' and for what's left to achieve. I have no intention of slowing down. I don't rest anyway.''

Victoria, who will not be attending the awards this year, is very happy for Marc and tweeted the following message today: "Congratulations to my dear friend Marc Jacobs on his CFDA Lifetime Achievement Award and to all of tonight's nominees! Excited for everyone!"

In VB's Closet: Victoria Beckham Denim Fall 2011 - Twist Ankle Zip Skinny Jeans

If you remember back in February when Victoria was jetting through LA to Heathrow airport, she wore a fabulous pair of wax denim jeans with twisted zippers... and I was in love with them. Well, after going through the look-book for Victoria's fall 2011 denim collection, I found them and was so happy! They should be arriving in stores within the next few months as retailers start stocking the fall 2011 collections... I may just have to get them!!

Just for everyone's information, they are the Twist Ankle Zip skinny jeans in Wax Black. They also come in wax aubergine.

David's Pepsi Commercial with Sofia Vergara

Ellie Goulding WILL release Rihanna cover

Yay!

Ellie Goulding has confirmed she will release her beautiful cover of Rihanna’s Only Girl as a B-side to her new single Lights. Ellie is certainly proving her stripes when it comes to the fine art of banging out a good cover - see her cover of Your Song by Elton John for more details.
The singer first performed the track for Fearne Cotton on Radio One’s Live Lounge back in December and ever since then we have been frantically You Tubing to get another listen. Unlike with Your Song, this time we didn't have to watch the John Lewis ad on loop.

Lights is due to be released March 11th (which is tommorow, how convenient!) and Ellie is currently in the studio recording her second album, which she reckons has a ‘darker’ sound to her previous stuff. We can't wait to hear it!

But for now we are loving this version of Only Girl and almost prefer it to the original. Which one do you prefer?

Fancy a drink from Rihanna’s tap?

Rihanna has filmed a commercial to promote UNICEF’s Tap Project, a campaign urging restaurant owners to charge $1 for tap water.

The organisation intends to use the proceeds to fund clean drinking water around the world.

Fans who donate to the cause go into the running to win a bottle of water filled from a tap in Riri’s house!

UNICEF’s light-hearted advertisement finds the superstar drinking a glass of H20, while a voiceover says “water so hot it could only come from Rihanna’s fawcet”.

It plays like a bad skit but apparently this is 100% legitimate.
How do you feel about the Mardi Gras no show’s latest adventure?

Megan Fox shows support for the Lakers in tiny T-shirt

It was probably not the most suitable attire for an evening out at the basketball.

But Megan Fox made sure all eyes were on her as she attended an LA Lakers game in her tiny T-shirt.

The actress arrived at the game at the Staples Centre with husband Brian Austin Green, wearing skinny blue jeans and the cropped top with the Lakers logo blazing out from the front.

But while Fox, 24, and Green, 37, might have been looking forward to the playoff match against the New Orleans Hornets, someone else looked like he was a little bored.

And it made us wonder what his court side companion could have been going on about to make David Beckham look so disinterested.

The footballer was snapped at the game sitting next to Entourage star Jeremy Piven.
