Zoe Saldana, Reese Witherspoon, Naomi Watts, and Nina Dobrev were all on hand to support their respective stylists for The Hollywood Reporter's 25 Most Powerful Stylists event yesterday. Kaley Cuoco, Abbie Cornish, and Dianna Agron were also in attendance to celebrate. The annual luncheon, which was held at LA's SoHo House, was hosted by Jimmy Choo and honors the most successful celebrity stylists of the year. This year's list includes heavy-hitters like Brad Goreski, L'Wren Scott, and Rachel Zoe, who was recognized for dressing Jennifer Lawrence, Anne Hathaway, and Jennifer Garner this award season.

The actresses all arrived in style, and most paired their pretty daytime looks with Jimmy Choo accessories. Reese posed with her stylist Leslie Fremar, who also dresses stars like Charlize Theron and Julianne Moore, while Kaley Cuoco stuck close to her fashion guru, Tara Swennen, who counts Kristen Stewart as one of her clients. Nina, who wore a red Max Mara jumpsuit, chatted with Zoe Saldana during the event, and shared photos of herself at the event on her Twitter page, including one with stylist Ilaria Urbinati.

Yesterday in London, Kate Middleton got glamorous for a dinner hosted by The Thirty Club at Claridges.

She finished off her stunning look with a diamante clutch and Beaut Eva Earrings (£195). Click through to see Kate from every angle, and let me know what you think of the Duchess' style!

Tamara Mellon Bids Adieu to Jimmy Choo

After leaving her editorial role at US Vogue in 1996, Tamara Mellon became the leader of celebrity-fan shoe brand Jimmy Choo.

After leaving her editorial role at US Vogue in 1996, Tamara Mellon became the leader of celebrity-fan shoe brand Jimmy Choo. Along with Jimmy himself and his niece Sandra, they brought the business from a small luxury company to a global empire. However, after 15 amazing years, Ms. Mellon and her CEO business partner since 2007 Joshua Schulman, have decided to bid adieu to Jimmy Choo six months after the company was acquired by Labelux Group for $850 million (about £530).

Tamara, who launched and modeled for the first Jimmy Choo fragrance has always been a strong presence in the label. She has become a celebrity in her own right, often walking the red carpet showing off her gorgeous shoes, and dating some of Hollywood's hottest stars. Her resignation saddens her co-workers, however, the company seems to understand her desire to move on.

Kurt Geiger CEO Neil Clifford said, "Mellon and Schulman's individual strengths added up to a very strong partnership. They were the perfect cocktail of art and science.They will be missed."

And Tamara told Footwear News in July that she was "very committed to the label and its expansion. None of the bidders would buy the company without me," adding that she was just beginning to craft a long-term growth plan with Labelux. "We're only a teenager. It takes about 30 years for a luxury brand to really hit maturity."

Best of luck to both Joshua and Tamara. I can't wait to see what's next from them!

Raquel Zimmermann Gets Tough For Jimmy Choo's Fall Campaign

Jimmy Choo's Fall 2011 ad featuring beauty Raquel Zimmermann really proves that it's a (wo)man's world.
Raquel Zimmermann For Jimmy Choo Ad

Jimmy Choo's Fall 2011 ad featuring beauty Raquel Zimmermann really proves that it's a (wo)man's world. Decked out in Choo's ferocious array of knee-high cutout boots, sexy booties, and luxe handbags, Steven Meisel captured Zimmermann posing alpha-style — even on top of Ben Hill's face — in a hotel-room setting. A lover's quarrel perhaps? Check out more pictures from the ad campaign, then tell us if you like it!

Trend Alert: Metallic-Tipped Flats

I was devastated this weekend when I found these amazing Whirl Leather Flats (£195) from Jimmy Choo, and they were sold out of my size in every single store across the UK.

I was devastated this weekend when I found these amazing Whirl Leather Flats (£195) from Jimmy Choo, and they were sold out of my size in every single store across the UK. The buttery leather and perfect on-trend nude colour were topped off with a flare of golden glitter on the toe both dressing them up and down at the same time. Plus, they have a coveted comfortable and fashionable rubber sole, which makes city walking so much more bearable.

Jimmy Choo at ShopStyle

One might just sulk and move on, but I was determined to find another look-alike pair and that I did! These amazing ballet-style flats from Lanvin don't have a rubber bottom, but they're just as incredible and they also come in brown with a bronze tip.

I've gathered a selection of gold-tipped flats for you to shop at all different price ranges. I love this trend and can't wait to try on the silver and pink pair I spied through the window at Pretty Ballerinas on Pont Street. Happy shopping!

Crystal Renn's Jimmy Choo Ads Aren't Really About the Shoes or Bags at All

Seriously, if you flip through these pics of Crystal Renn posing for Jimmy Choo's latest Spring/Summer '11 ad campaign and go straight to the accessories, you're kind of missing the point.
Pictures of Crystal Renn For Jimmy Choo

Seriously, if you flip through these pics of Crystal Renn posing for Jimmy Choo's latest Spring/Summer '11 ad campaign and go straight to the accessories, you're kind of missing the point. Sure, when they crop out the rest of her and leave only a pair of pretty Choo platforms, I'm left staring at the designer's handiwork, but mostly I'm just in awe of how the glamazon looks in them. A standout on high-fashion runways all of last year, I'm suggesting we start focusing less on her size. There's no point in defining it — bottom line: she's just captivating. Click through to see her stun for Jimmy Choo.

Tamara Mellon Models For Jimmy Choo Fragrance

Back in October, it was announced that Jimmy Choo was launching a fragrance, and in November I told you a little bit about it. Now, you can sneak a peek of the adverts surrounding the long-awaited scent which is set to launch on 15th January in America first.

The ads aren't starring a model or a fan, rather, the woman behind the stilettos is the face of the fragrance. Tamara Mellon herself is the 'sensual and soft' beauty that we see here. I can't say that I'm totally shocked as she has poured her heart into this project. It's something that she's wanted to take on for a while, however, I'm hoping that we see more of her face in other ads and not just her, erm, toned pectorals. What do you think of the first print advert so far?

Jimmy Choo's New Eau de Shoe

It's been a banner few weeks for the fragrance industry.

It's been a banner few weeks for the fragrance industry. First we heard about Dannii Minogue's Project D, then came Precious Love from Katie Price, and now it's Jimmy Choo Fragrance from none other than Tamara Melon. The luxury shoe and accessories brand has been busy working on the new scent with Olivier Polge of International Flavors & Fragrances that contains notes of greens, tiger orchid, toffee and Indonesian patchouli. Mellon talks about how she had her own fragrance opinions in mind when creating the scent. She tells WWD,

"You have to — fragrance is something that’s very…personal. I love very fresh green smells that are effervescent, and then I like things that are sensual, so that’s how we came in with the patchouli."

The smooth and sexy orb-shaped bottle was inspired by Murano glass, however, what keeps it edgy is that it's set off by a squared cap. The packaging on the box is also branded to a T, as it's printed in faux pink and purple snakeskin.

The fragrance collection includes a 3.3-oz. and 2-oz. eau de parfum sprays, body lotion, shower gel and an eau de toilette (in select markets only). Jimmy Choo is set to hit the shelves in the UK in Harrods and Selfridges on 13th January followed by a 31st January release at additional nationwide stockists.

They say that stilettos give you confidence and it must be true, because Jimmy Choo already has plans to launch two more scents in 2011. Are you excited for Jimmy Choo perfume?
