Celebrity Style: Christina Milian
Singer Christina Milian is on the prowl as she arrives at a restaurant on Sunset Strip in LA. Most people don't wear a corset top and leopard pencil skirt to dinner, but since the Strip is very happening and trendy, it makes sense. Christina's fashion sense doesn't normally wow me, but here she is looking mighty sexy and surprisingly non-cheesy.

It's not like Uhura's minidresses and gogo boots in the new Star Trek are making any statements about equal rights, but they're still light years more reserved than this Star Trek Corset, $200, from Etsy seller and apparent Trekkie EveningArwen.

Celeb Style: Paula Patton
Paula Patton showed off her beauteous bod at the AFI Fest in LA wearing a silk Bottega Veneta dress. The corseted detail injects a sexy vibe to the modest mauve tone, and I love her strappy Jimmy Choo sandals. To complete the look, the actress adorned herself with crystal-drop earrings, choker necklace, and matching silver cuff.

Last night the V&A's beautiful Raphael gallery played host to the 2010 London College of Fashion MA show. 19 young graduates presented two years of hard work with their individual designs.
