Rihanna Does Cutting Edge Comfort With Yeezy 2's in East London This Weekend

Loving this look from Rihanna who kept it low key this weekend as she set about the serious business of performing then partying in East London.

Sexy black leather and tough denim, luxed up with gold Egyptian style detailing and accessories - even her mic had a gold finish. Talk about attention to detail. Whilst her short shorts with fishnet cut offs got the Daily Mail in a tizz, and Rita Ora was spotted wearing the exact same Katie Eary digital leopard print t-shirt Rihanna had worn on stage at the Radio 1 Hackney Weekend, it was her feet that interested me.

Sporting the super hot, black Air Yeezy 2 sneakers - the latest killer Kanye West-designed drop from Nike - with their glow in the dark soles, it was great to see a female performer at a festival who wasn't in either crazy heels or wellies. Comfy can be cool too, girls! Especially when you do it like this.

BOY London 2012 Collection Selling Fast At Selfridges

OK so after Rihanna worked a straight up original 80s BOY look on the Jonathan Ross Show the other week, everyone knows that BOY London is back.  The underground fashion label which was founded in 1977 became famous for its iconic logo print designs worn by every top popstar in the early 1980s, has been enjoying a resurgence with those early-adopting East London hipster kids for over a year now thanks to vintage eBay finds and capsule collections via the likes of Urban Outfitters.  Now though, the whole SS 2012 retro BOY London collection is available in the UK exclusively at Selfridges, both in store and online at www.selfridges.co.uk.  Here are some of my favourite bits but check the site for the whole collection - or at least what's left as it seems to be going FAST!

Brit Awards 2012 Star Style - Adele, Rihanna & Jessie J WOW (didn't Cher Lloyd look nice too?!)

The girls done good! Adele, who won two Brit Awards at last night's ceremony, stole the show - with the biggest, most perfect hair. Thankfully she changed out of the matronly, ageing Burberry number she walked the red carpet in, switching to the gorgeous custom Clements Ribeiro dress featured above for her performance.

Red was the colour of the night with Lana Del Rey wowing in a Vivienne Westwood gown, Jessie J's show-stopping sheer lace Falguni & Shane Peacock frock (which kept getting ripped as guests trod on it..) and Emma Bunton looking cheerily stunning in a red lace shift. Front row fashion girls Rihanna and Florence Welch didn't disappoint either with Rihanna wearing a super sexy, floor length Givenchy Couture gown with long black leather gloves (disappointingly straw like hair though), and Florence working an intricate peach lace  train-trailing Alexander McQueen creation. Props to the Alexis Knox styling of Cher Lloyd too who scrubbed up remarkably well in a sparkly disco jumpsuit by Hasan Hejazi and zebra print Louboutins.  Chic high ponytail too - that's more like it!

Performance of the night for me goes to Outstanding Contribution to Music award winners, Blur, who performed the longest ever Brits set - 5 songs (Girls & Boys, Country House with Phil Daniels, Song 2, Tender and the beautiful This Is A Low).  Check out the video of their performances here.

Evening Biker Chic at AmFar Gala to Kick Off NYFW (and how SJP is style stalking me)

Not for the first time, SJP has been spotted working a trend I've written about previously - this time it was something from my HuffPostUK fashion and shopping blog, last time it was on my old blog.  I'm starting to think she might really be a fan... ;)

If you want to get Sarah Jessica Parker's gorgeous look from last night's AmFar gala that celebrated the start of New York Fashion Week, simply pair a great, classic biker jacket with your party gown and you're there.  Simples.  Check out my Huffington Post UK blog piece on pairing motorcycle jackets with eveningwear here..
