She seems to pop up when you least expect it, but is the former model best known for being George Clooney[1] 's ex starting to look a little dated? Lisa Snowdon is certainly not shy about playing up her assets. Now we've always believed that if you've got it, it's your duty to flaunt it. But we suspect Ms Snowdon is taking that maxim a little too much to heart.
Her dress has more than a whiff of bargain basement about it -- the top half is all sultry and come-hither, a message not exactly echoed by the unflattering check print.
Really, if we're being honest, she looks like she's playing the not-so-well-known role of the buxom barmaid in the local panto. It may be seasonal, but it's not such a good look.
Pity poor Lisa. We think that she'd really benefit from taking a second look in the mirror before popping out.
Jamie Chung
It's not exactly appropriate for a freezing cold night out in New York, but the premiere of the latest Leonardo di Caprio movie does require a girl to pull out all the stops.
If that means accessorising with a few goosebumps, well a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. And if you look as good as Jamie does, then it's all worth it.
We love the sheer simplicity of this fabulous Cushie et Ochs silk jersey dress. And we really quite like the way the former reality TV star matched her maroon Louboutin pumps to her lip shade.
Her clutch is the only jarring element: the fringe detailing is quite distracting, whereas a statement necklace would have worked better.
Still all in all, we reckon the lovely Leo will be impressed ...

I amble around the internet rather than regularly going to any particular sites, although I do adore 'Posh and Fancy' on Tumblr.
For illustration, I'm mostly inspired by children's picture books, particularly the old Edward Gorey[10] ones and vintage postcards too. If I'm working on something more fashion-y, I look at street blogs such as The Sartorialist or Face Hunter.
I made this coat myself, picked up the necklace for $5 on a recent trip to LA, the boots are Topshop and the bag is Massimo Dutti.
I love layering and tend to gravitate towards black and anything that sparkles.
There's an amazing flea market in Soho in NYC where they have the best jewellery; if I could fly out there every Saturday, that'd be perfect!
