Harry Potter’s Hermione Granger has definitely caught the attention of the New York crowd in the Bottega Veneta gown. For the premiere, Emma wore an autumn/winter 2011 gown with a khaki linen bustier and satin skirt, teamed with dramatic makeup and a sleek, cropped hairstyle that showed off her model-like bone structure.

”New York is such a fashion capital, I felt I could push the envelope a bit. With London I went a bit more classic, but for today I wanted to do something edgier,” the 21-year-old said.

As the stars were out at the World Premier of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 at the London Odeon on Thursday night,  Emma Watson stepped out stepped out in “the ultimate flashbulb-friendly outfit”: a little black dress by Spanish designer Rafael Lopez.

Show what you got with these show stoppers. The hours you spent working out in the gym must give you enough credit to show off.

Sculpted back is best shown with maxi dresses with halter style. Don’t let your tiny waist go unnoticed. Wide-banded dresses flares out the waist and shows off your asset. Try wide belts cinched at the waist or dresses with waist cut outs.

For well-sculpted arms, dresses with wide armholes that cut across the scapula best emphasize finely honed triceps and biceps. Also great cuts are halter-style tops and strapless dresses are also great cuts for showing off your arms. Check out Michael kors chick tops in wild print.

Material that are made from cotton blends hold your shape well and you get to flatter your toned arms and shoulders. Your great pair of legs can best be shown wearing hip-hugging skirt and and stilletos. Balance the bare legs with a cover-up on top. If flat-forms fancy you, opt for stuart weitzman hickory t-strap flat-form sandal that is chic and stylish and goes well with mini skirts to show off impressive legs.

Great fitting jeans and a waisted jacket are best way to show off some booty. To make your hip curves even look rounder opt for a boxier shape jacket. To compliment your outfit, get  cole haan purple suede double layer belt.

Hit the gym, get fit and be fabulously glam!

Hermes bags are considered “status symbol bags” that only the rich and the famous can afford one. Recently on her birthday, an orange Hermes bag found its way to Pacquiao’s mom’s arms. On mommy Dionisia’s 62nd birthday last May 15, she was given the 1M-worth bag.  The Filipino boxing icon and his wife, Jinkee, gave her an orange Hermès luxury designer bag.

When fighter Manny Pacquiao defeated Shane Mosley in WBO welterweight title fight, Paris Hilton was seen signing autographs with a Chanel handbag by her side. The handbag was a sleek, east/west shopper with double chain straps and a medium sized Chanel logo on the bottom front of the handbag.

Socialite Paris Hilton is a big fan of Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao. She and her equally famous sister Nicky Hilton, trooped to the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada to watch Pacquiao’s bout with American Shane Mosley.

Now it can be said that Mommy Dionisia and Paris Hilton share two things in common - their fondness for Manny and their designer bags.

Paris tweeted: “Hanging out with @MannyPacquiao and his beautiful wife Jinkee. They are such a sweet & down to earth couple! Love them! :)”

Wakeboarding is the newest language in sports that go along with other board and extreme sports. Wake boarding as surface water sport is becoming popular. Developed through a combination of water skiing, snowboarding and surfing techniques, the sport involves riding a wakeboard over the surface of a body of water behind a boat or cable.

Basically, wakeboarding is water skiing on a small surf board with foot straps or boots. Less tiring but is sometimes of higher impact, wakeboarding can be done with inexpensive boats and at slower speeds than water skiiing.

Summer weather makes your hair wavier and it’s it’s sexy just to wear it this way around your shoulders.

Here’s how celebrities wear their mane hot!

This look makes your eyes and cheekbones stand out. To add movement to the rest of your mane, lightly mist hair with a sea-salt spray and scrunch the ends.

If you want to keep strands from getting in your face, pull back a small section between your temples. Teasing those strands will create some height.  Smooth over with a brush, and then secure everything loosely with a clip at the base of your crown.

Fun under the sun? The FDA is encouraging the consumers to buy sunscreens that offer “broad spectrum” protection.  The old SPF rating measured only UVB radiation but now, UVA radiation should be included.

UVA and UVB  are two forms of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UVB radiation is that of shortwave rays which affect only the outer layer of the skin and cause sunburns and the tanning of skin. UVA radiation is made up of long-wave rays that penetrate to deeper levels of the skin.

• Even though some sun screen makers will launch their new labels early, the new rules will take effect by summer 2012.
• The “broad spectrum” line will appear only on sunscreens tested for a minimum standard of UVA protection.
• All sunscreens will carry their SPF rating and for products without the broad-spectrum claim, SPF will rate only UVB protection. On sunscreens with broad spectrum, higher SPF numbers mean more protection against UVB and more protection against UVA.
• Water resistant-sun screens must show how long they last after a person has been swimming or sweating: 40 minutes or 80 minutes.  Those that are not water resistant will have to say so in the “fact box” on the side or back of the package.
• A fact box listing warnings and other important information in an easy-to-find location will be found in sunscreens.

Making the most of your body shape is what look and style is all about.  A wide array of tops and bottoms are available in shops.  But when you are working as a nurse or medical staff, you’ve got narrower choices. Much so if you are a size 12.

You may forget about your size and thro away your wishes that your scrub would look like the way it did when Naomi sported one of those

nursing uniforms when she took the run way.Your best  assets can be accentuated, and your flaws disguised with the right cut, color and prints.  Just because you are a nurse and you are wearing scrubs to work doesn’t mean losing your fashion sense.

it is important that your scrubs fit properly. Loose-fitting scrub tops and bottoms make you look lousy. Loose scrubs tend to hug in the wrong places and hang from the body in other places.

A bit of tailoring to achieve the right fit may do the trick.  Scrubs that fit correctly can spell the difference in how you look and feel and boosts your self confidence.

While Super Model Naomi Campbell may still be recovering from her shock when she was compared to a Dairy Milk Swiss, her fashion may not be as upsetting. The rather controversial model was known for her violent encounters with a former house keeper and a year after, with two police officers.  Campbell attended her community service wearing designer outfits like fedoras, furs and a Dolce and Gabbana gown.

She got herself banned from British airlines for life for assaulting two officers in Heathrow airport in London upon the loss of her baggage.

The new Cadbury ad may have left a bittersweet experience for Naomi who was upset with the ad lines, ” Move over Naomi, there’s a new diva in town”.

The Diva who isn’t ready to move yet, (sorry Cadbury) had several models and other brave souls walked at her latest fashion show for a cause. The models got to wear Prada, Bottega Veneta, lanvin and Valentino. The Fashion for Relief show in Cannes helped the charity’s beneficiaries like the post-earthquake and tsunami victims in Japan.
