MTV Asia Awards is back! I attended the first two MAAs back in 2002 and 2003. You know what, I had one of the best time of my life at the awards. The energy levels were insanely high. The crowd went nuts and screamed their lungs out. Here’s a funny story: I actually sang Bon Jovi’s It’s My Life at The Heeren stage to win my pair of tickets to the first MAA in Singapore. Then, I danced at Hard Rock Cafe Singapore to get seal my seat next to Avril Lavigne and behind Blue in 2003. Talk about cheap thrills. This year, I was offered an all-expense paid trip to MAA - but I couldn’t make it because of my HK trip. Oh well. Let’s see what the stars are wearing at the event held in Genting Highlands, Malaysia:
Jared Leto and co-host, Karen Mok, looking awesome. The MTV VJs aren’t looking too bad themselves, except for Utt - what is with that curry puff hair-do!
VJ Taya and Zhu Zhu both look ultra hot!
Is Leona Lewis preggers or something? Amanda (from Electrico) looks super cute in her new hair!
Yikes! That’s a yellow/purple disaster! However, I like the black and white couple.
These guys are geeky adorable! Not feeling all-white though.
Are you Panic! at the Disco? I heart funky blazers.
Give the Pussycat Dolls some love - man, they can look trashy sometimes. Or, is that the whole idea?
I’m seeing too many black and white. B-O-R-I-N-G.
Let the show begin. Take those chopsticks off your hair, Karen!

Here, Fash-E likes to keep a lookout for celebrity styles and of course, models. We dig their quirky, random yet effortless style - and we seek inspiration from these lovely creatures who live and breathe fashion on a daily basis. Now, does the name Anouck Lepére ring a bell? She’s the face of Hugo Boss and Calvin Klein. You may have known her from her greatest accessory, Jefferson Hack - Kate Moss’ baby daddy. Her friends include Dries van Noten and Olivier Theyskens who encouraged her to pursue modeling and ditch her architecture studies. Here’s a flash of her star style over the years:
I want red stockings!
Lookin’ sultry in this magazine editorial.
Anouck always looks relax and well-styled.
This Belgian beauty lives a glamorous life. Who wants to be a model?
With her fiance, the duo are hardly seen appearing in public apart.
This fashionable couple can look casual-cool and sophisticated too.

Double Strand Pearls
If pearls are good enough for Carrie Bradshaw, they’re good enough for me. It seems like celebs are lovin’ pearls and the trick is to layer them with multiple strands while pairing with the classic black dress. Of course, double is what Ashlee Simpson, Sarah Jessica Parker and Gwyneth Paltrow are doing.
Bright Jackets
There is nothing more show-stopping than loud, bright colours! I love Rihanna’s spunky hot pink jacket. Even Katherine Heigl and Kim Kardashian are sporting bright jackets with dark denim. Smart!
Leather Mini Skirts
Bring back the 80s staple! I used to be vegan, so I’m against the usage of real leather. You can opt for latex or faux leather like Nicky HIlton. Selita Ebanks and Ashley Olsen are pairing their minis wiht monotones and fierce shoes!
Short Suits
Show off your long legs by coordinating your black blazers with shorts like Anne Hathaway, Rihanna and Natalie Portman. I love how Rihanna paired it with a black sheer top and bright orange heels! Otherwise, you can add a little colour like Natalie with a Maroon tee.
Shimmery Beige Dress
Don’t be afraid to shine amongst the crowd. Neutral with a little sparkle can be very alluring and sexy. Take the cue from Claire Danes, Mila Kunis and Heidi Klum.

I’m such a TV addict, and it’s always fun to catch up on my weekly TV fix. And, we’re all awaiting the new season of Gossip Girl and I’m looking forward to the new 90210 - Brenda is coming back!! I want more Prison Break (yes, yummy Wentworth Miller), Ugly Betty, Weeds (two more seasons!!) etc. Also, who’s counting down the days to Stylista? So, it’s TCA Weekend and Fash-E has roundup the pretty looks from the red carpet:

I fell in love with Zooey Deschanel when I first laid my eyes on her in one of my favourite films of all time, Almost Famous. She struck me as a smart, funny and bright-eyed ingenue and I wanted to know everything about her. Zooey not only acts, but she sings as well. Also, she has an impeccable sense of style that is genuine and surprising at times. I even have a “Zooey” folder in my Mac with my favourite photos of her. Cheers to my favourite indie girl in Hollywood (besides Parker Posey, of course) for scoring her Lucky magazine July cover!
Zooey lookin’ very prim and pink at the premiere of ‘The Happening’. Also, a dated photo from the 2006 Teen Choice Awards - I love the big bow and black stockings. Is this still relevant today? What are your thoughts?
This is one of my favourites - Zooey in the infamous Vanity Fair issue with nekkid Scarlett & Keira.

Let’s see what the girls wore to the ‘Sex and the City’ New York Premiere. SJP never failed to impress. With her hubby in hand, SJP strutted down the red carpet in a gorgeous metallic Nina Ricci gown. This is much much better than the crazy head gear in London - but then again, I applaud her for her bravery!
Black and Gold is the new… err, Black! Kristin Davis is turning heads with this accordion pleated gold Donna Karan dress. It’s the Charlotte goes partying look and I’m totally diggin’ this.
Cynthia Nixon is a classy lady. She may not be everyone’s favourite but I personally see a little Miranda in me (yeah, call me cynical). She looks beautiful in this white Narciso Rodriguez gown and love the gold clutch as well!
ERR… I’m not lovin’ this metallic strapless Vivienne Westwood dress. Kim Cattrall should consider switching stylist. What’s with the strappy heels! Made her feet look so stumpy. This is a red carpet no-no.

The 2008 Cannes Film Festival has finally ended. Everyone cheered Laurent Cantet’s The Class which is the first French film to win the Palme d’Or Award since 1987. Fash-E has seen some fabulous couture gowns and designer dresses during this event. Fabsugar collated the best dressed and here’s our take on it:
Fash-E’s Best Dressed Award goes to… Natalie Portman in Givenchy! All the talk about the big volume, I don’t care. I think the origami-pleated dress is flirty and very young.
Gladiator heels! I’ve been seeing gladiators everywhere in town now. Gwyneth Paltrow makes this Giuseppe Zanotti for Balmain gladiator heels look red-carpet worthy by pairing it with a sleek black Celine dress.
In all royalty, Dita Von Teese is looking classy in royal purple Jean Paul Gaultier. I’m impressed by the way the long purple beads trace the silhouette of the dress.
The Queen of Pop, Madonna looks like a billion bucks in Chanel couture. This fringe sequin dress is one-of-a-kind and she exudes confidence in it.
Georgina Chapman in her own Marchesa glided ball gown. I love the gold peacock design, what a masterpiece.
Miss Columbia, Valerie Dominguez is such a tall beauty with her sheer black chiffon gown. Very elegant!
Penelope Cruz looks stunning beautiful in this teal design by L’Wren Scott. I love the cute maroon buttons on the side.
