Dita Von Teese, Claudia Schiffer and Victoria Beckham at the Roland Mouret Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2008 collection in Paris on Wednesday.

The three fashion mavens all took their seats on plain white benches to watch the British designer’s second collection for RM, the label he created with the backing of Simon Fuller since falling out with his previous business partner two years ago. When you bear in mind that Mouret’s fame began when Cameron Diaz and Rachel Weisz started wearing his dresses, this is very good news for RM.

THE A-listers were out in force last night, as Kate Moss partied alongside Kelly Osbourne and Emma Watson (the new face of the iconic brand) at a bash thrown by Chanel.

The 17-year-old Harry Potter beauty has become somewhat of a Chanel ambassador of late – wearing the French house’s luxurious clothes to all her red carpet events.

The fasionably fab gals were joined at the event held at London’s Nobu by actress Thandie Newton, supermodel Claudia Schiffer, Academy Award winner Emma Thompson, songbird Lily Allen and actor Rupert Evert.

The star-studded dinner was held to celebrate the presentation of the first-ever Chanel fashion show in London. The show featured the exquisite workmanship by craftsmen and women in seven of the greatest acessory ateliers in the Paris couture industry.

As Fashion Week takes over Paris, so do a bevy of stylish stars who flew across the pond to check out Karl Lagerfeld’s latest designs for the Chanel show.

Former train wreck Courtney Love looked nearly unrecognizable (that’s a good thing) as she made her way to the historic Grand Palais on Friday.

Looking (dare I say?) pretty in red, snaggle-toothed actress Kirsten Dunst managed to put down her signature brewskie and token cigarette for long enough to catch the big the show.

British songbird Lily Allen was on hand to provide some much needed class and elegance.

Proving that fashion risks sometimes end up in disaster, rapper Kanye West showed up rocking a bow tie. It couldn’t have been any Wronger.

And finally, a lesson to all you stars out there — never, under any circumstance, stand next to a supermodel. Otherwise, this will be the result. ‘Nuff said.
