The event: A lunch celebrating The 2011 CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund Finalists in Los Angeles.
The verdict: This is a very risky look but I think she pulls it off well. It’s young and edgy and works well with her physique. In the age of cookie-cutter Hollywood style, it’s refreshing to see Kate marching to the beat of her own drum and carrying that beat with confidence.

Trend Spotting – The allure of the Peter Pan collar + tips to make this trend your own
Abbie Cornish goes retro in a sheer Louis Vuitton dress with a Peter Pan collar
There’s nothing immature about the latest trend gaining speed in fall fashion. The Peter Pan collar is a mix of ladylike qualities and youthful independence. It’s slightly delicate and playful at the same time. Hollywood of course is front and center with this trend. From the runways of Louis Vuitton to the red carpet and magazine covers, Stars can’t seem to get enough. Here are some stand out looks featuring the Peter Pan collar.

Pan Am's Christina Ricci steps out in a very chic coat with a Peter Pan collar
Test driving the trend: The Peter Pan collar happens to be one of my favorite features on a jacket. I’m a huge fan of 50s and 60s style jackets and have found over the years that I’ve acquired quite a few pieces with the Peter Pan collar. It’s allure to me is that it’s delicate, structured and ladylike all at once.

Style Tip: A jacket with a Peter Pan collar can be buttoned up or even played up with a scarf tied into a bow. In the past, I’ve paired the light wool jacket I’m wearing above with skinny jeans and over-the-knee boots as well as with a pencil skirt. I love that it’s that versatile.

Who wore it best? Three Stars take on one look (Kate Moss vs. Fergie vs. Gwyneth Paltrow)
Fergie in Louis Vuitton
The battle: Today’s edition of ‘Who wore it best?‘ features 3 heavyweights lightweights from the worlds of fashion, music and acting. Kate Moss, Fergie and Gwyneth Paltrow are all sporting one of fall’s biggest trends — the Peter Pan collar.
Kate Moss at Louis Vuitton
The brand: Louis Vuitton
Who: Kate Moss strutted down the Louis Vuitton runway in the look; Fergie partied in the same look at the AmfAR Inspiration Gala in Paris while Gwneth Paltrow rocked her look on one of her multiple covers for Elle Magazine.
Gwyneth Paltrow rocks her Louis Vuitton ensemble on the cover of Elle magazine
So who wore it best? This is such a daring look that all three ladies get kudos for even attempting to make this work. Kate looks amazing at LV but since most pieces on the runway don’t even make it into production — mainly because they don’t translate into the real world, Fergie gets some extra points for wearing this look to a party. Sorry Gwyneth but unfortunately, retouched magazine covers don’t count as reality. Fergie is obviously very confident and comfortable with herself which are 2 very important qualities needed to carry off such a bold look. Her opaque tights and lace up boots also work perfectly with the overall edgy ensemble. Who do you think wore it best? Share your thoughts below…
