Marcelina Sowa models dresses from Missoni to Lanvin in this underwater shoot.

I do believe this is a swan dress - sort of like the one Bjork wore on the red carpet which caused quite the stir.

There is discussion that Kate Moss may be the cover girl for the August Issue of Vogue. She has been seen out and about with various members of the Vogue staff, but it is set that the star to grace the Fall Fashion issue is Natalie Portman.

Wednesday was her photo shoot and it can be expected that she will be showing off her recently launched line of vegan footwear, Te Casan.

Bedazzle

Michelle Williams showed up in a Chanel Haute Couture Dress at the Cannes Film Festival to promote her two new films "Wendy and Lucy" and "Synecdoche New York". Sources say that she made a last minute decision to show up at the film festival. This marks her first major public appearence since the death of Heath Ledger.

Miss Multitask

While you may be noticing that you've seen Agyness Deyn all over the place: in the Burberry ad, walking a majority of the major fashion labels shows, and in pretty much every fashion magazine out there - she's now doing the new thing - multitasking.
She's got a new single out with Five O'Clock Heros called "Who" (click to see the music video here). She is also starting her own band called Gene Jacket.
Now the new news is that she will acting in a short film with bandmate Alanna Masterson. She plays the imaginary friend of James, a boy whose sister has recently passed away.
Of the part she said:
"I kind of feel like fish out of water, and I’m finding a big pond to swim in. I just like opening up different channels and keeping myself interested.”

Let's Collaborate

Patricia Field, the famed stylist of Sex and the City, is set to collaborate on a line with M&S. The theme is (no surprise here) "Destination Style New York" and set to hit stores in October of this year.

Mixed Reaction

So while everyone seems to be praising Eva Herzigova's look on the red carpet at the Cannes Premier of "Che", I have to admit I'm not exactly liking the look. Sure, she looks better than she did last year (although it certainly isn't easy to rock the red carpet when pregnant), The outfit though definitely rebellious isn't for me.

Ruffle-rific

Natalie Portman donned a Givenchy dress at the amfAR event in Cannes. It reminds me of the oragami look that Dior wowed us with in their couture collection.

Making a Splash

The Chanel Cruise show was held at the Raleigh Hotel by the pool. The runway weaved around the pool, luckly no one fell in! After the show a group of syncronized swimmers jumped in wearing the letters "C-H-A-N-E-L"

The introduction to the show (Sasha opened and closed) is here on youtube
