Fashion Rocks

After massive success in 2003 and 2005, the Swarovski Fashion Rocks for the Prince's Trust is back and is better than ever. It took place on Thursday and the line-up was amazing, with a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between the hottest music stars and biggest fashion designers in the world.

Uma Thurman and Samuel L Jackson hosted the glitzy event and Estee Lauder headed the time of make-up artists transforming the models for each designer segment.

The collaborations were:
Alicia Keys - Armani
Razorlight - Burberry
Joss Stone - Calvin Klein
Lily Allen - Chanel
The Gossip - Christopher Kane
Timbaland - Dolce & Gabbana
Roisin Murphy - Gucci
Dame Shirley Bassey - Marchesa
Shy Child - Stella McCartney
Pussycat Dolls - Valentino
Iggy Pop - Versace
Marc Almond - Yves Saint Laurent




As usual, the stars were out to look their sexiest and one of the running trends seemed to be black see-through ball dresses, as showed off by host Uma Thurman and supermodel Naomi Campbell. No, I didn't know what they were thinking either....



Adding a touch of colour to the bash were the gorgeous Lisa Snowdon and Joely Richardson, who both looked equally stunning in these bright frocks.

It's a shame that poor Beth and Peaches decided to dress themselves........



.... and even though I love the outfit and I can't decide which one wears it better, DO YOUR RESEARCH! How embarrassing to turn up to a 'do as important as this one and find someone else is wearing your dress!

The best-dressed for the night obviously goes to Kate Moss, who turned up at the event wearing a 1920's-style dress encrusted with 60,000 Swarovski crystals. The frock, created by Swarovski and high-street gurus Topshop, is valued at £40,000 and is now being auctioned on Ebay to raise money for the Prince's Trust.
