Where does one begin? Every starlet in Hollywood these days is either a model/actress, actress/model, actress/designer or actress/singer, no? Or so it would seem. On Wednesday, July 16, the Candie’s brand and Hayden Panettiere took over PerezHilton.com to promote the new Candie’s ad campaign and to um, promote the new single by Ms. Panettiere. Now I am not hating on anyone expressing their talent and/or gifts, but when did it become passe to just be good at one thing? But I digress. The ads feature Hayden rocking a metallic jacket, black jeans and high-heels with a side-lying microphone in hand with her lips apart as though singing, obviously that should have been my first clue as to what lay ahead. The ads and Candie’s logo were all over the site as well as montages of Ms. Panettiere’s face, and low and behold in the middle of that garish pink background was a large video screen window, all set for the reader/viewer to just hit play. On comes island-esque music (reminiscent of another blonde one-hit wonder), the oh-ooo-oh, maybe you need a wake-up call, and lovely images of Hayden, doing the one-handed microphone grasping warbling (more oh ooo oh...) that most starlets do these days. All in all, the song was not that bad, it had a catchy beat and refrain, and as for the outfits, the clothes were cool.

If Couture were to have been consulted on the video we would have made the following suggestions: Moschino metallic bubble hem mini dress with an accompanying D&G Dolce & Gabbana Flat Strap grey belt paired with Moschino Cheap and Chic black retro ankle boots for her strut into the club; John Varvatos for Converse bronze metallic leather bomber jacket (silver and washed gold are so overdone) left open, C’N’C Costume National five-pocket style black skinny jeans, Crystal Rock’s Rockabilly black tee with Giuseppe Zanotti handpainted booties for crooning on stage to the crowd; C’N’C Costume National grey racer back sleeveless elongated tank with iridescent palettes, Just Cavaili grey distressed jeans with Moschino red platform gathered tie-front pumps for the rolling around the floor number; for strutting a la Britney, Studio Gabriella Rocha black satin deep v-neck dress with draped sides worn with DSquared opulent lace, beaded and faux jeweled platform ankle-tie sandal (black wig optional).

Hey, they did not ask Couture, but I thought I should put the style tips out there any way.

One sleeve on, one sleeve off – to appear stylishly off-kilter can be difficult, but can be done with the asymmetrical look. This Just Cavalli one-sleeved top is embellished enough to draw the eye from one sleeve to the – um, other arm. This top is made for going out so wear it with a skirt or dark jeans and strappy heels.

It’s a habit to just throw on a tank top in the summer (too hot to think about what to wear!), but embellished tank tops give your outfit a bit of extra oomph. This Just Cavalli tank dresses up a pair of long white shorts and wedges, and paired with a skirt and heels, it’s perfect for a night out.

When it's scorching outside but the A/C is on full-blast inside, it can be hard to get dressed for work. Just Cavalli's pinstriped safari dress, however, makes it easy. Its mid-length sleeves give your arms some coverage inside a breezy air-conditioned office, but not so much that you're perspiring when you're outside.

The What: Just Cavalli pinstriped safari dress

The How To: 1. D&G earrings 2. Costume National bag 3. Miss Trish of Capri embellished sandals

The When: Wear it to work and to cocktails after.

The Why: When you look this cute, why not?

Classic black is flattering on everyone, but dress it up with gold accessories to avoid the look of mourning. The Kate Spade sandals are especially great for wedding season - sparkly with the perfect heel height, you'll stand out - hopefully the bride won't mind you stealing her spotlight.

The What: Kate Spade Loupe sandal

The How-To: 1) Just Cavalli V-neck black dress 2) Dolce & Gabbana earrings 3) Dolce & Gabbana gold bangle set 4) Carlos Falchi metallic anaconda box clutch

The When: Wear it at one of the many weddings you'll attend this summer.

The Why: Black and gold jewelry are always in style.

Yes, it would seem so. It was reported by Fashion Wire Daily that Roberto Cavalli will follow in the famous footsteps of such luminaries as Tom Ford, Bill Clinton, Anna Wintour and the President of Pakistan, Pervez Musharraf, in giving a lecture at Oxford University, as part of their Oxford Union Society’s student encounter lecture series. The university arranges for the students to encounter scholars and leading figures in film, politics, the arts and fashion. Um, my college did not do that, why? As if designing fabulous collections, hotels/nightclubs and accessories were not enough for Roberto.
