Katie Holmes’ third campaign for H.Stern is out and she’s looking smoldering. The actress stripped down for the jewelry ads, so the images are mostly just sun-kissed skin and sparkling jewels. [Telegraph]

Are You A Lolita?
Thirteen-year-old blogging sensations are just the beginning. For Spring, designers kicked their youth obsession up a notch by indulging in some Lolita fantasies. Christopher Kane drew inspiration directly from the Kubrick movie for his sweet gingham baby-doll dresses, and Stella McCartney‘s off-the-shoulder ruffled blouse and Moschino Cheap & Chic‘s retro two-piece and floppy sun hat might also have been plucked directly from the film’s costume department. At Prada, meanwhile, itty-bitty pinafores were paired with pigtails, red lips, and plastic shades—the only thing missing was a cherry lollipop.

Two-For-One Dresses—Gimmicky or Genius?
Designers produced plenty of surreal fashion for Fall—Dolce & Gabbana’s glove hat, anyone? The most wearable take on the wackiness trend just might be the split-personality dress, seen, for starters, at Aquilano.Rimondi, Josh Goot, and Versace. Depending on your vantage point, the woman in Alexandre Herchcovitch’s little number is dolled up in sequins, or playing it simple in a silk print. And remember last season’s mullet gowns? Moschino Cheap & Chic’s Rosella Jardini has given the concept a new spin with her business-on-one-side, party-on-the-other skirt. Click here for a slideshow, and let us know what you think of the season’s off-kilter look.
trick or treat
We’ve been back from Paris for just over a week, so we’re still in process mode—trying to parse the meaning of Spring’s sheer dresses, and the reasons why designers as different as Calvin Klein‘s Francisco Costa and Donatella Versace added all manner of geometric flaps and appendages to their clothes. With Halloween on the horizon, we couldn’t help but notice that many of Spring’s more eccentric creations seem tailor-made for a costume party—a very, very chic costume party. Sophia Kokosalaki‘s Egypt collection provided ample material for any gal with an Elizabeth Taylor fixation; the only thing missing from her modern-day Cleopatras was the electric-blue eyeshadow. Is Disney more your speed? This Dolce & Gabbana dress comes complete with Minnie Mouse ears. Speaking of fauna, Moschino Cheap & Chic had a beautiful butterfly-wing gown. Should you prefer a more postmodern getup, may we suggest something from Gareth Pugh‘s first-ever Paris show? As Tim Blanks put it in our review, the vibe was very “Joan Crawford meets Predator.” Along similar lines, John Galliano showed a look best described as one part Napoleon, another part Josephine. For more on the shows, click here. But may we remind you, getting your hands on any one of these looks by October 31 will take the skills of a pro. If you don’t already have your own stylist on speed dial, you’re probably better off at Ricky’s.
