Celebrities are still in the French capital for Paris Fashion Week and yesterday saw a bevy of stars take to the front rows. Kylie Minogue was at Yves Saint Laurent, while Leigh Lezark and Lindsay Lohan watched the Kenzo show and Lou Dillon partied at the Chaumet Cocktail Party.

There was family support at the Stella McCartney show, with Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell in the front row alongside Thandie Newton, Beth Ditto and Twiggy. Check out all of Fab's Paris Fashion Week coverage and stay tuned for more!

Yesterday was a pretty interesting and confusing day. First, there was the Céline show, where Phoebe Philo’s slim, terse coats with high necks and off-center buttons caught my attention.

The designer means business; the clothes are sharp, graphic and intelligent — we like all those qualities and they seem particularly desirable now.

That aside, I couldn’t help but feel that something about Ms. Philo’s second runway collection didn’t feel as confident and personal as I wanted it to be.

Fashion Week moved on to Paris over the weekend, with Lindsay Lohan front and centre for a variety of shows. She shared the spotlight with Jared Leto and Charlize Theron at Friday's Christian Dior presentation, but Ms. Theron was back in LA by yesterday for the Oscars.Lindsay stuck around in France to party that night in a green dress, before she turned out on Saturday for Viktor & Rolf, which she loved, and Sunday for John Galliano. LL was back on the scene last night to celebrate the launch of Turkish Vogue, as she takes her front row status from one country to the next.

Here are today’s Backseat Birthday shout outs!SULTRY Amazons in negligees and jodhpurs and modern-day Nefertitis in identical blunt-cut black wigs skulked Paris' catwalk on Friday.

As the French capital's fall-winter 2010-11 ready-to-wear shows moved into an exhilarating day three.

Christian Dior designer John Galliano was out of the gates with a sexy equestrian-themed show that synthesized two of the luxury label's recent looks: riding gear and lingerie-as-outerwear.

Cropped tweed jodhpurs were paired with ruffle-y tops in whisper-light chiffon, and the girls pranced down the runway in stiletto-heeled riding boots that would certainly get you killed if you dared mount a horse in them.

At Lanvin, Alber Elbaz did it again, giving his hoards of fans yet more perfectly draped dresses, chic cocoon coats and big, square shouldered power suits to lust after. Sporting identical black wigs, with chunky wooden necklaces gleaming with rhinestone studs, the models had the raw, regal look of the ancient Egyptian queen, Nefertiti.

The fall 2010 collections may offer the best clothes for working women since Yves St. Laurent introduced the sleek "Le Smoking" pantsuit in 1966.In Milan, Gucci, Jil Sander, Etro, Marni, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Bottega Veneta and Aquilano Rimondi all showed elegant, classic versions of women's suits—tailored jackets with either pants or skirts to match. In New York, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors and others did the same. Now it's up to the French—who are just starting nine days of runways shows in Paris—to shape the trend.

It's hard to overstate how different the new suits are from the dominant styles of the past few years. Very recently—until about two weeks ago, in fact—being "matchy-matchy" was considered a fashion crime. Florals could be mixed with plaid and sable with denim. But a tailored jacket that matched its pants or skirt suggested a blind eye toward style. A key look was a dress worn with a cardigan, Michelle Obama-style. Now, it looks as if designers have moved on from the first lady to adopt Xerox Chairman Anne Mulcahy as a muse.

As Milan Fashion Week draws to an end the Italian fashion designers Dolce & Gabbana took us back to basics and showed us how they have been inspired by classic Italian tailoring for their latest collection.

Dolce & Gabbana dramatically opened their collection with a much welcomed return of the first principles of Italian style: perfect tailoring and a sophisticated, appreciation of sexiness and sensuality.

The Dolce & Gabbana designers whittled their revamped classic look into three simple words: Sicily, Tailoring, Black.

Nominated for the best actress award, Carey Mulligan will have a starring role at next month's Oscars ceremony.

Understandably then, the 24-year-old wants to make sure she looks her very best on the night, even if it means turning down advice from Vogue queen Anna Wintour.

"Anna said I should wear short for the Oscars,” says the actress - a winner at this week's Baftas. "I was like 'No, that is so not what I had in my head when I was six years old!'"

British supermodels Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Nicola Roberts walked the ramp for ‘Fashion for Relief’ to raise money for survivors of the Haitian earthquake.

Naomi and Kate wore designs from McQueens' last Spring/Summer 2010 collection as a tribute to the fashion designer. The event was organised by Naomi.

“I am deeply saddened by the recent tragedy in Haiti,” she said. So many have been killed and severely affected by the earthquake.

Women and children in particular are most vulnerable in disasters. Fashion is universal, personal and touches everyone,” she added.

Other celebrities who walked the ramp included “Girls Aloud” singer Kimberley Walsh, Welsh diva Dame Shirley Bassey, former “Spice Girl” Geri Halliwell and socialite Pixie Geldof.

Betty Jackson was in what she called ‘workwear’ mode, with military-look jackets with ‘battle-dress’ pockets; baggy, drop-crotch trousers; and oversized T-shirts and tops, accessorized with chunky clogs, stack-heel booties and sling-back brogues.

Peasant scarves added to the workaday feel. Lightweight denim was used for long, over-shirts and loose tunics, worn with skinny jeans, or, conversely, black leather crop-tops, with long, ovoid-shaped skirts. Leather bra-bodices were fastened over printed shirts.

Khaki coats and capes featured practical pockets and tab-fastened details and the military touch was also seen in multi-pocketed, loose waistcoats, cropped above the waist. The utilitarian feel of the collection was sparked-up with loose T-tops, wrap-skirts, trousers, in gold, silky jersey, and a dull, beaten gold silk taffeta.
