Hervé Léger teams with Avon to create new fragrances

Always wanted that Hervé Léger dress, but just couldn't get yourself to fork out that much cash?

Well now, Hervé Léger fans can get a piece of the brand through our favourite door-to-door marketing brand, Avon.

Hervé, which is owned by the BCBG Max Azria Group, will be launching two new perfumes this fall: Hervé Léger Femme and Hervé Léger Homme. Though the brand is fairly upscale, it has recently been trying to reach to a more accessible audience (see: Miley Cyrus and Max Azria's Wal-Mart collection).

Avon has tried to make itself more fashion-conscious, especially with its mark. collection, who has signed Twilight's Ashley Grenne as former ambassador Lauren Conrad's replacement. The brand also produces fragrances for Christian Lacroix, Emanuel Ungaro and Cynthia Rowley, and will also be launching Fergie's new fragrance, Outspoken.

So enjoy the luxury of the brand, for a fraction of a price. Besides, what is a woman (or man) without her perfume?

The Met Ball 2009

The Metropolitan Museum of Art's annual Costume Institute Gala is the Oscars of the fashion-world. It is at this time that fashion-savvy celebrities, supermodels and designers come together, dressed in fabulous clothing, to celebrate the launch of the Met's latest exhibit.

This year's theme was the Models as Muse: Embodying Fashion, and was hosted by Marc Jacobs, Justin Timberlake, Kate Moss, and Anna Wintour.

The guests wore their best suits and gowns, and some of them made more daring fashion choices: Kate Moss sported a gold lame turban, Rihanna wore a Dolce & Gabbana suit, and Madonna turned heads in her Louis Vuitton ensemble, bunny ears and everything.

The Gossip Girls, Blake Lively and Leighton Meester didn't do to well on their fashion choices, with Lively's teal Versace dress with its high-cut slit up the side, and Meester's floral Vuitton emsemble. Blair and Serena would be disgusted.

Agyness Deyn resembled Marilyn Monroe with a short blonde bob and a silver Burberry gown, and Heidi Klum's very pregnant physique was extremely noticeable in her J. Mendel dress, even though it was meant to hide the bump.

Here are some of the most memorable looks of the night!
