Ralph Lauren 'furious' at the Duchess of Cambridge

Designer Ralph Lauren was said to be "furious" that the Duchess of Cambridge didn't attend his Windsor Castle gala earlier this week

"Ralph Lauren was furious when he found out less than six weeks ago that Kate would not be there," a source told the Daily Mail. "He considered pulling out but was told by his PR advisers that it would look terrible. The company thought they were getting Kate, the most famous clothes horse in the world, and also a runway show at the castle."

While the Duchess may have been a no-show (someone's got to babysit), Lauren - who didn't exactly look like a man filled with fury - did manage to draw an incredibly starry bunch to the soiree, including two other very famous clothes horse K/Cates, Moss and Blanchett, as well as the likes of Cara Delevingne and Emma Watson. Who needs the Duchess when you've got that bunch?

The world's most in-demand male model

As the world's most in-demand male model, David Gandy is constantly on the move.

The first thing you notice about David Gandy is that he is startlingly handsome. The second thing is that he's actually quite shy, which is endearing, and not what you'd expect from a man who shot to fame by cavorting around in unfeasibly tiny white trunks in Dolce & Gabbana's now-iconic 2007 Light Blue men's fragrance ad.

This 32-year-old from Billericay in Essex is now said to be the world's highest-paid male model, and was the only man in the line-up of British supermodels who strutted their stuff during the closing ceremony of the London Olympics. 'It was lovely to be represented,' he says. 'England isn't the best at everything, but with fashion, we are pretty much up there. We have so many iconic fashion brands, and the girls here from Kate and Naomi to Lily are the top in the world. We should shout about that.'

Gandy was born in Essex, of working-class parents who built up successful businesses, first in freight, then in property. They too are keen travellers, and used holidays as a way of educating David and his sister, Claire, who now lives in Spain. 'We've been on float-planes to see the brown bears in Alaska, we've been to see the Amazon rainforest, to the Galapagos Islands. My dad thinks he's David Attenborough II, really.'

Lenny Kravitz, the next Ralph Lauren?

Musician Lenny Kravitz has announced that he is going global with his lifestyle and fashion brand.

Not content with conquering the music world with his inimitable style of psychedelic rock, and the silver screen with his bucket-full of attitude (yes, the gold eyeliner-sporting stylist in The Hunger Games was Lenny), Kravitz has caught the celebrity-turned-designer bug, and he's set his bar high.

The 48-year-old rocker diversified from his day job in 2003 when he founded Kravitz Design , a company specialising in innovative and dynamic design solutions for commercial and residential properties. Earlier this year, he dipped a toe into the world of fashion by collaborating with ethical footwear brand TOMS.

"The plan is to make it a lifestyle brand . . . my dream for this company. In the same way you would see Ralph Lauren or Giorgio Armani" he told CNN.

Furniture, bedding and clothing are high on the agenda, as well as an eco-resort on a farm he owns in Brazil next year.

Perhaps Kravitz will rope in his stylish actress daughter Zoe to consult on cuts and colours. Thanks to her kooky, pared-back style, the 23-year-old regularly graces best-dressed lists around the globe.

Yours fashionably...

Drums Rolling.......... Taaa-rrraaaaaaaa!

1st PLACE: CÉLINE NANO

The baby-sized luggage mini with an elongated strap option so you can take the tiny tote wherever you go.

A jet-black contrast to the singer's relaxed silver attire, Rihanna makes another style statement with her Céline Nano which she's hardly been photographed without over recent weeks.

2nd PLACE: PRADA PYRAMIDE

A chic and sleek three-dimensional number crafted from Saffiano leather

Hair dye maven and singer Katy Perry opts for a spectacular studded version of the Pyramide, adding the fashion fois gras of 2012's shoe selection: Prada's very own flame stilettos.

3rd PLACE: CHANEL BOY BAG

Chanel's Boy bag showed the venerable French fashion house taking a more edgy stance on chic, choosing model and socialite Alice Dellal to front the campaign.

Long-legged lovely and Chanel ambassadress, Poppy Delvigne chooses a chic, white version of the Boy bag to contrast against her more nonchalant black bowler hat.

4th PLACE: RALPH LAUREN COLLECTION SADDLE SHOULDER BAG

Bolting out of the starting gate for spring/summer 2012, Ralph Lauren's Saddle Shoulder bag has been an instant equestrian themed hit in celebrity circles, spotted slung across the body of the most fashionable faces in town.

Frappucino and shades in tow, actress Jessica Alba oozes American, street-side chic with her bright orange saddle bag strewn over her shoulder.

5th PLACE: MULBERRY DEL REY

Designed to reflect singer Lana Del Rey's style and beauty, the Del Rey is a functional tote with an uptown twist. With a classic postman's lock, 'its shape implies structure yet it has gorgeous squidgeablity,' notes creative director Emma Hill.

Jennifer Lawrence 's Mulberry Del Rey tote is a far cry away from the bow and arrow accessory usually associated with the actress, after her leading role in The Hunger Games.

What do you think?? Let us know!!
