Fresh from wowing international press on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival, it wasn’t long before Megan Gale was back in front of the cameras after returning to Australia. The model, in Dion Lee, joined her fellow David Jones ambassadors and a host of local celebrities to celebrate David Jones’ 175th birthday at a black tie gala held at the Sydney store last night. Perth-born beauty Jessica Gomes, who replaced Miranda Kerr as a brand ambassador a few months ago, stunned in a backless design, and Jason Dundas, Montana Cox, Gai Waterhouse and Emma Freedman — all part of the DJs family — all brought their star power to the event.
VIP guests including Delta Goodrem, Jesinta Campbell, Stephanie Rice, Rachael Finch and Michael Miziner, Charlotte Dawson and David Jones’ stable of designers witnessed the launch of a commemorative exhibition that celebrates the department store’s history. They also toasted the occasion with lots of champagne, canapés, and a dessert and cheese station.
For those who love the ease of dressing in Summer, the change of seasons can bring a black cloud over your personal style. Floral dresses are replaced by boring sweaters and drab colours sub in for Spring's pretty pastel palette. We want to turn that sartorial frown upside-down, because there are plenty of reasons to get excited about about getting dressed during Winter. 57 of them, to be precise. We've culled our off-duty celebrity archives to bring you a celebrity mood board of the best kind. From luxurious layers to clever colour combinations to a serious flirtation with texture — the options are endless. Your cool-climate inspiration awaits!
Megan Gale's second trip to Cannes was filled with red carpet glamour, sultry photo shoots and some killer dresses, but in this behind-the-scenes video, you'll notice that the L'Oréal Paris ambassador looks just as good off-duty as she does in an Alex Perry gown.

Wanna know what's been keeping us busy at POPSUGAR this week? We were thrown into the glitz and glamour of The Great Gatsby when we hit the red carpet at the film's Sydney premiere. Between chatting to Joel Edgerton, Tobey Maguire and Carey Mulligan, we were treated to a visual feast as guests came dressed in 1920's theme; a standout was one of the film's stars, Elizabeth Debicki, in her Dior dazzler. Speaking of all things pretty, Ali went to many showings this week and spied great new shoes and apparel coming our way for Spring/Summer, while Alison got up close and personal with new scents and a cool new makeup collaboration. Oh, and then there were the CLEO Bachelors of the Year. . .
The celebrations for The Great Gatsby certainly don't seem to be slowing! After a glamorous round of global premieres and many a party at Cannes Film Festival, the cast and crew threw yet another fabulous soiree last night — this time in Sydney to celebrate the relationship with Tiffany & Co. The iconic jewellery house reached into its archives and also created bespoke pieces especially for the period film's lavish costumes — giving guests at Neil Perry's Rockpool Bar and Grill restaurant an exclusive preview of the film's glittering supporting cast members.
Elizabeth Debicki teamed a pair of Tiffany & Co.'s flawless yellow gold and diamond earrings back with her backless Carla Zampatti gown, Gracie Otto looked flirty in a Gucci LBD and Carey Mulligan looked effortless in a simple black sheath. Want your own one-on-one with the jewels of The Great Gatsby? They'll be on display in the Sydney Tiffany & Co. Castlereagh Street store from Monday 27th of May until the 2nd of June. Take a peek!
As Cannes keeps rolling on, the stunning pictures keep pouring in. On par with Cannes past, this season's stylish set kicked off the glamour Gatsby-style with the film's premiere on day one, and continued to wow with every subsequent premiere and party. The past few days have provided plenty of pretty fodder, with perfectly chic looks from models Liu Wen and Lily Donaldson and a black sparkler from Olivia Palermo. It doesn't stop there; inside you'll find every Cannes appearance so far, so just keep clicking — and stay tuned for all the red carpet action right here.
Riccardo Tisci cast what he calls his gang — a group of people including Carine Roitfeld that are "very faithful to my style, and faithful as human beings" — in Givenchy's Autumn/Winter 2013 campaign.
The black and white photos, shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott and styled by Roitfeld, also feature Amanda Seyfried, models Mariano Ontañon and Dalianah Arekion, Spanish actor Quim Gutiérrez, and Roitfeld's daughter, Julia.
"I think it is a moment of history for me in fashion for my own gang," Tisci said in a statement, adding that in the campaign, "there is a gypsy feeling because it is the inspiration of the collection. Again, the reality of someone like Carine with her daughter showing real love or Quim with Amanda is very special to me. All of them, including the models, are real gypsies in their own life. They are never in one place. They travel the world."

Already a style favourite, Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, has continued to entrance us with her stylish maternity ensembles.
