Freida Pinto sported a Resort 2011 Alexander McQueen dress–part of Sarah Burton‘s first official collection for the house–to the premiere of You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger. [See red carpet pics from the premiere] Reactions to the dress have been mixed, so we thought we’d put it to a vote. (For the record, we think she looks lovely, if not-too-excitingly dressed.)

What say you?

Taylor Momsen ran her mouth the other day in an interview with Spin Magazine. “People think pop is rock, and the lines are getting blurred. Now Rihanna‘s wearing f—–‘ leather jackets, and it’s really annoying.” Taylor will most likely regret this next time she finds herself encountering Rihanna in a dark alley. Those leather jackets have spikes. [Huffington Post]

Though it wasn’t part of Alexander McQueen‘s final collection in Paris last spring, feast your eyes on what may have been the last piece that the late designer touched. The silk swan dress, made for long-time pal Annabelle Neilson is a far cry from the more notorious McQueen pieces she’s worn in the past (a sheer jumpsuit, anyone?).  She wore this beauty to Elton John’s White Tie and Tiara Ball in June.

Hilary Duff tied the knot this weekend with Edmonton Oiler Mike Comrie. Duff wore a Vera Wang dress of which there is only blurry cell phone pic. [Catwalk Queen]

Selfridges sheepishly tweeted “We apologise for any offence caused. It was not intentional and the dress has been removed.” They’re referring to the Alexander McQueen dress that is hanging on a gallows in their display window in Manchester. So, uh, what I they thinking? [Racked]

Remember when designer/Britain’s Next Top Model judge Julien MacDonald said “You can’t have a plus size girl winning — it makes it a joke”? In a scrambling attempt to dig himself out of his hole, he told Grazia he was misquoted, claiming that “I think there is room for everyone in fashion, but if you’re a plus sized model the opportunities are less.” [The Cut]

Sarah Burton, the newly appointed creative director at Alexander McQueen, has some big–presumably lobster claw–shoes to fill. Burton, who worked with McQueen for 16 years, has unveiled her first full womenswear collection for the house. The resort 2011 collection is inspired by Hans Bellmer’s dolls and samurai warriors and stays true to the label’s emphasis […]

Givenchy has nixed its couture runway show in favour of private appointments. “I want to make couture even more special than it is, and not just another catwalk show,” designer Riccardo Tisci told WWD. “People can really experience the couture moment: See it, touch it.” The 10-look collection will contain no black (a first for him, says Tisci) and the designer is quick to point out that the new format is not a money saver–it will cost about 35 per cent more than a runway show.

The fashion credits of Lady Gaga‘s latest video have just been released, and let’s just say the ample Christian Louboutin, custom Alexander McQueen, custom Philip Treacy and Dolce & Gabanna are enough to make Patricia Field seethe with envy. [Racked]

Gucci will be unveiling a children’s collection later this month. The age range is 0 to 8, and the line features clothing, accessories and gifts–for when the silver spoon is actually a pair of Gucci logo-engraved sunglasses. Kids these days. [WWD]
