Runway: Balmain

For those who never heard of Balmain:
Pierre Balmain founded his exquisite namesake Parisian fashion house in 1945, dressing the likes of Ava Gardner and Brigitte Bardot.
After his death in 1982, a slew of designers took the helm including Oscar de la Renta, and now it's the turn of elegant French designer Christophe Decarnin.
Bringing a distinctly modern vibe to the label, the fashion pack are hankering after his crystal-embellished drummer boy jackets, super-skinny acid wash denim and studded high-waisted mini skirts.

His spring show is all about a mix of Native Americans and India.

Here some of my favourite pieces of the show:

Victoria Beckham Fashion Today

Victoria Beckham joins fellow fashionistas Claudia Schiffer and Dita Von Teese at the Roland Mouret Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2008 Fashion Show during Paris Fashion Week on Wednesday.
The stylish trio sat front row, of course.
After the show, Posh picked out the Kleber cocktail dress in primrose yellow double crepe, with an origami-pleated neckline and full-length zip at the back, as her favorite. “But it’s hard to pick,” she told Guardian Unlimited, “because really I think I want them all.”

Maria Sharapova Legs Pictures

Tennis star Maria Sharapova appeared on the Late Show With David Letterman looking quite the style maven in her black-and-white ensemble and to-die-for YSL sandals. I don't normally look to sports figures for inspiration, but I have to give credit where credit is due . . . and Maria's black tulip skirt spurred a hunt to find something equally sexy but not equally pricey.

Lionel Messi 5 Top Pics

Lionel Messi has become the first Argentinian to win the Ballon d’Or, the FC Barcelona forward claiming the prize awarded by France Football (soccer) magazine for the European Player of the Year.
The 22-year-old eclipsed runner-up and last year’s winner Cristiano Ronaldo by a record 240-point margin. Messi earned 473 points out of a possible 480, a near unanimous verdict, in the poll of 96 journalists worldwide. The award caps a brilliant year for a player who helped Barcelona to UEFA Champions League glory – he scored nine goals in last season’s campaign including the second in the final victory against Manchester United FC – as well as to a Spanish league and cup double.
