NEW YORK — Everybody knows about Madonna’s passion for tracksuits. That’s why we weren’t surprised when Madonna wore a black velvet Chanel tracksuit when she went to Kabbalah center on Friday.
On Saturday morning Madonna and family went back to Kabbalah center. Again, Madonna donned Chanel tracksuit but this time in pink with silver zipper and trims.
We reported earlier about the most worn dress on the red carpet this year – Yves Saint Laurent dress.
Now we learn that Kate Moss’ label Topshop had come up with own version of the grey mini dress. Topshop’s dress, which retails for about $118, is called Bandeau dress by Boutique and bears a strong resemblance to Yves Saint Laurent dress. Look at the picture below and compare.
Now, take a look at the picture below. Can you tell which shoe is Givenchy and which is Steve Madden?
If you choose the shoe on the left, you are going to save about $795. On the left is Steve Madden Gin black leather shoe which retails for $199. On the right is Givenchy shoe which retails from www.ShopBop.com for $995.
Okeydokey, here comes Steve Madden again along with an opportunity to save a few bucks. Look at the pictures below. The first picture shows Sarah Jessica filming “Sex And The City: The Movie.” Sarah Jessica Parker wears Dior Extreme Cutout sandal in exotic python skin. These shoes can be purchased for about $780. The second picture shows Steve Madden creations — Maddiee shoes which retail for $109.
We support Steve Madden and others who create knockoffs of high end designers, for we believe that people with lower income should be able to afford to dress just like their favorite stars!
E-mail us at 21cs@live.com if you spotted any other usefull designer knockoffs — please no counterfit products — and we will feature them as well.
NEW YORK — “Ugly Betty” continues shooting in The Big Apple. We bumped into America Ferrera and her co-star Ashley Jensen in Chelsea yesterday.
Betty is famous for her odd fashion, but this time we actually liked Betty’s ensemble. She looked right on trends with her blue and purple floral frock, electric blue peep-toe shoes and contrasting yellow socks and belt. Betty even channeled Mariah Carey a bit with her massive butterfly buckle.

The setting of Abba inspired musical ”Mamma Mia!” – the Greek islands of Skiathos and Skopelos – makes you want to go some place exotic and hang out on the beach.
The movie features twenty-three-year-old up and coming actress, Amanda Seyfried. Amanda, who is the former Wilhelmina child model, looks like a model on a photo shoot where the 70s boho and hippie chic meets summer of 2008.
Based on the hugely successful Broadway production, “Mamma Mia!” is bound to become the feel-good hit movie of this summer. The movie opens in the US on July 18, 2008.

NEW YORK — When we saw Elizabeth Hurley in a purple Versace dress yesterday framed by Chopard bracelet and earrings, we remembered that once upon a time one little Versace dress actually propelled Liz Hurley to recognition and consequent- ly to stardom.
In 1994 Liz Hurley attended the premiere of ”Four Weddings And A Funeral” with her then boyfriend Hugh Grant who acted in the movie. Largely unknown at the time, Hurley was dressed in an amazing black plunging Versace dress held together with gold safety pins, due to which she was widely photographed at the event. This appearance propelled her to recognition in the modeling world, especially catching the attention of the cosmetics company Estée Lauder. The Versace dress Hurley wore was, for a while, referred in popular media simply as “that dress”.

NEW YORK — So, we bumped into America Ferrera while she was filming scenes for her TV Show, “Ugly Betty” under the Broklyn Bridge.
We must admit, we felt a little overwhelmed by America character, Betty Suarez’s, vivid palette. We do not expect Betty to be the style icon everybody wants to mimic this upcoming back-to-school shopping season.
America is wearing Alice + Olivia dress — just as Leighton Meester did couple of weeks ago on the set of “Gossip Girl.” Compare pictures below with those of America to see what a difference styling can make.
