Taylor Swift says it wouldn't be cute if she still wore sparkly dresses in 30 years' time.

Taylor Swift is known for gorgeous style and great looks. Here are some of the beautiful dresses she has worn on the red carpet, as well as some of her more daring on stage choices.

Louis Vuitton moved in a more feminine, sensual direction for fall-winter. "It was about intimacy, the mystery of what's going on behind the door," Jacobs said. "It's Hollywood mixed with rive gauche." Accordingly, models in '50s wigs slinked out of a dozen hotel doors wearing satin dresses resembling slips. A bathrobe made from a man's coat followed a crepe dress made with motifs of an undergarment. But the show was also about Kate Moss. Jacobs, who conducted interviews backstage in red pajamas, said the show grew from his close friendship with Moss, and years of dressing her up in hotel rooms. She made a surprise appearance on the catwalk.

Hermes pared down the energy of last season in what was a more classical, intimate ready-to-wear affair. High waists and furs gave proceedings a glamorous edge, with models sporting Greta Garbo waves in their hair. Long tan coats thrown nonchalantly over shoulders and rich capes slightly alluded to a mystery - evoked also in the show setting.

As fashion looks back to the 60s and 70s, we ask why designers continue to be fascinated with these groundbreaking decades

The show's 79 varied looks brimmed with ideas, classic and new, and showed that the designer in his late 70s is still a creative force to be reckoned with. Models, including Stella Tennant, walked around the circular globe runway sporting stylish new winter concepts in tones of blue, gray, purple, pink and black. Zippable leather leg sheaths - like leggings that start at the thigh and end at the ankle - were warm but allowed thighs to be exposed. And coat silhouettes were cut away squarely in the middle of thighs so legs are visible even on those cold days.

Masterton medical laboratory scientist Bec Hughes has taken out the title of New Zealand's "specsiest" woman.

The inner city's celebration of fashion continues this week with a whole host of fabulous events taking place for the Fashion in the BIG Little City festival.

Fall-winter saw Slimane move on from the 70s boho of the spring to 'California Grunge.' It was imagined as models stomping down the catwalk in leather miniskirts, oversize plaid shirts, biker jackets and baby doll dresses - with crystal-clad body stockings and combat boots. They were mixed up haphazardly, and thrown together almost indifferently with an adolescent nihilism.

Pop superstar Rihanna has admitted she was a little bit selfish when she was designing her range of clothing for River Island.

There will be glitz and glamour tomorrow at Ellerslie's premier event - Auckland Cup Day, which is expected to draw in the crowds.

After last season's slouchy-chic, Celine's Phoebe Philo upped the elegance to deliver a beautiful play of lines, but one that lost none of her soft touch. For those with a penchant for loose, structured geometry the Paris ready-to-wear show had plenty to offer. That included wide horizontal bands of fabric, streamlined plunging lapels, triangular wide temple guard sleeves, and large angular collars. Relaxed was the word - like a series of clever, knee length sleeveless dresses. Technically, they weren't actually sleeveless: faux sleeves were wrapped around the torso, like a belt. The arms were folded in dishabille resignation, as if to say: I know I'm stylish, but I don't need to prove it. The collection shows the influential London designer at the top of her game.

Chloe makes ready-to-wear and doesn't pretend otherwise. This honest attitude was on full display in Clare Waight Keller's collection in Paris of 41 highly wearable looks. Who needs a lofty concept when much is said in the quality of each individual garment. There were some neat ideas in blue and neutral black, white and gray. A multicolored thick-striped silk dress had a geeky, graphic look with an angular top and patent leather school shoes. "It's about bringing in a toughness, with more attitude," said Waight Keller, backstage.
