FALL FASHION TRENDS 2008

Gwyneth Paltrow

Tailored Jackets

Gwyneth Paltrow was all business on this red carpet, the actress topped her heather gray shift with a military-style jacket, putting a serious spin on the strapless dress.

Leighton Meester

Art Prints

Wearable art never looked so fresh. As Leighton Meester (in Chloe) demonstrates, the clothing should be the focus when it comes to wearing an artsy piece. Keep jewelry, shoes and other accessories minimal to let your artwork shine

Lucy Liu

Art Prints

This bold trend must be worn with confidence, as Lucy Liu did in her Oscar de la Renta brush-stroke frock. Fine-art fashion extends to accessories as well, which is a better bet if your style is a bit more subdued.

Rihanna

Rocker

She may be an R&B chart-topper, but Rihanna's always a rock star when it comes to cutting-edge style. A studded leather jacket from Gucci added attitude to a full-skirted ensemble from the line.

MTV Video Music Awards : Britney Spears

Britney Spears has swept the board at the MTV Video Music Awards show in Los Angeles, collecting three prizes for her track Piece of Me.
Best video: Britney Spears, Piece of Me
Best pop video: Britney Spears, Piece of Me
Best female video: Britney Spears, Piece of Me

The same promo also earned Spears the awards for best video by a female artist and top pop video.

She had been nominated for MTV video awards 16 times before but had never won.
"Wow, thank you, I'm in shock right now," she said as she collected her third and final trophy.


"I was not expecting this. This is such an honor to have this award right now. I want to thank my fans. This is dedicated to you."

Presidential race

Brand said the night marked the "launch of a very new Britney Spears era".

"Consider this the resurrection of Britney Spears," he said. "If there was a female Christ, it's Britney."


Britney Spears opened 2008 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night in LA. Clad in a silver, shimmering flapper dress, the pop princess looked absolutely fabulous! And the star-studded crowd gave her a standing ovation even before she opened her mouth.
