LFF CELEBRITY STYLE CRUSH: ZOOEY DESCHANEL

Describing Zooey Deschanel as my style crush is a little bit of a lie, because in reality she's just my crush full stop. And I know I'm not the only straight red-blooded female that feels like this; I've spotted plenty of fashion girls modelling heavy, brunette bangs at the moment that have more than just a touch of the Deschanel about them. Heck, I've just spent two years growing out a full-fringe, but am I tempted!

Bangs aside, Zooey has been making some inspired red carpet fashion choices of late. From show-stopping red tulle Oscar de la Renta to her custom-designed Prada Golden Globes dress (complete with super-fly tuxedo nail art), Zooey adds a breath of fresh air to the Hollywood red carpet. Her signature look is to reference retro 50s and 60s styles, keeping accessories and styling minimal to maintain that modern edge. Which is your favourite Zooey look?

LFF CELEBRITY STYLE CRUSH: LILY COLLINS

Who'd have thought that after producing Easy Lover and Another Day in Paradise, Phil Collins would also go on to (re)produce an A-list, fashionista daughter with supermodel good looks? Lily Collins is a rising star in Hollywood, and not only does she have poise, elegance and beauty, she also has a super-stylish wardrobe to boot. 

Collins' red carpet style is unique in that it is quite fashion-forward and bold yet completely feminine and demure. She can pull off full-length and fabulous gowns from leading fashion houses Alexander McQueen and Valentino just as easily as more edgy styles from youthful brands Carven and Marchesa, even throwing a cool leather bomber jacket in the mix from time to time. With her doll-like features and porcelain complexion, Lily has the world as her fashionable feet, and I think it's about time Chanel took notice and made a muse out of the next superstar Collins!

FREIDA PINTO'S WINNING CANNES FILM FESTIVAL 2012 WARDROBE

Freida Pinto receives La Fashion Folie's vote for the chicest wardrobe at the Cannes Film Festival 2012. From Versace to Paco Rabanne to Salvatore Ferragamo, Pinto has selected some stylish European designers for her Cannes looks.

My favourite frock so far has to be the yellow lace Atelier Versace gown which Freida modelled on the red carpet at the 'Rust and Bone' premier; with a thigh-high split, neon hue and peplum detail, this was pretty experimental for classic-dresser Pinto. I also love the old-school Hollywood 1950s feel of the striped Salvatore Ferragamo crop top ensemble which Pinto wore for a daytime press call.

2012 MET GALA: LFF'S FAVOURITE FASHION TRENDS

Is it just me, or was last night's 2012 Met Gala one of the most fabulous fashion-wise to date? The variety of looks was what really did it for me; from full-length, fabulous evening gowns through to chic trouser suits to knock-out flesh-baring mini dresses, there was something for everyone here. Here's some of the key trends that emerged from the night:

Bianca Brandolini D'Adda in Dolce and Gabbana, Carey Mulligan in Prada and Lana del Rey in Altuzarra dazzled in metallics on the red carpet.

Gwyneth Paltrow in Prada, Emma Stone in Lanvin and Victoria Justice in McQ by Alexander McQueen proved fabulous doesn't always have to be full-length.

Coco Rocha wearing Elizabeth Taylor's (yes, really!) vintage Givenchy pant suit, Solange Knowles in Rachel Roy and January Jones in Versace all brought citrus-yellow sunshine to proceedings.

Flaunting some serious plumage were Beyonce in Givency Haute Couture, Cate Blanchett in Alexander McQueen and Kate Bosworth in Prada.
