“That was fucking beautiful,” was Mischa Barton’s reaction to Max Azria’s latest collection for Herve Leger. Amanda Bynes, Hilary Duff, Tinsley, and Lissy Trullie also sat front and center, and right in front of me, causing my eyes to burn from the flashbulb frenzy.

Of course the pieces were super duper fitted. It is Leger after all. But I personally enjoyed the more neutral palette and that nothing felt like the same old straight up bandage dress. The use of denim as definitely an interesting change. This more bohemian, earthier thing kinda works for me.

And there was still plenty of red-carpet worthy cocktail wear to keep Young Hollywood sexily dressed, starving and filling the pages of US Weekly. The magazine’s Fashion Director, Sasha Charnin Morrison even had her twin boys (in “Sorry Girls I Only Date Models tees) front row snapping shots.

I love a little WASP-y, sporty, country club chic to start off my day, kinda like Breakfast at Wimbledon. And really who does that better than Lacoste?

And apparently so does Mischa Barton? Or the more likely reason for her front row seat…promoting The Beautiful Life. That Corbin Blue guy from the show, and High School Musical fame, was next to her as she texted her way through at least half of the show.

Unfortunately she missed out on some crisp pieces from Christophe Lemaire. The show kicked off with a bunch of modern tennis whites, not with background music but instead that signature pop of a racquet hitting a ball just right and the now ever-present grunts of the players. Color like turquoise in pops started to be mixed in, and there were some hats that felt very 1920s Roland-Garros that I rather enjoyed.

But my favorite pieces, I guess you’d call apres-match: wide-leg white pants, thin sweaters for the men, head wraps and long skirts, and shoes with the backs cut-out (not the first time we’ve seen that this week!)

Every single model came out for the finale (without missing a beat) in a brand new bright yellow outfit to a remix of “I’m a Believer”. Sunny, happy people. I was all ready to head out to Flushing Meadow and start hitting some balls.

Sign Us Up: Now this sounds like an epic shoot. Daphne Guinness, David LaChappelle, an 18 acre former nudist colony in Maui, and bathtubs in trees. Very good times. {Fashionologie}

Lay Lady Lay: Rachel Zoe is apparently my music twin. Her iTunes playlist is pretty much my most-played songs rotation. A hippie who immediately equates an REM song with 90210 and also swoons for Chris Martin singing “Green Eyes”? Nice. Now if only we had similar clothing budgets. {The Zoe Report}

It’s A Beautiful Life: Nina Garcia’s IMDB listing just got a little longer. Ashton signed her up for a guest spot on the The Beautiful Life. Maybe Mischa could benefit from some of her tough love. Let’s hope they had a sit-down. {FWD}

Karl’s New Toy: Meet Baptiste Gianconi, Karl Lagerfeld’s newest muse/boy toy/model friend/Sebastian. He’s cute! Hope the other boys play nice. {Perez}

Wowsers: Poor Mischa. Though she’s the first person we’ve ever heard actually say, “Chlo-ay.” {HandbagTV}

Interns Away: The Moment, The New York Times’ T Magazine’s style blog, needs fall interns. Wish we could do it. {TheMoment}

Style Me Nice: While in LA, I developed some major girl crushes. Nicole Chavez’s stylist picks for WhoWhatWear combine two, or three, of them. {WWW}

Tomorrow is the party/auction in London that many have been looking forward to - in large part because we know what great party people the hosts Sass and Bide are. Not to mention charitable.

Sass and Bide have asked ten of their favorite people to interpret what the evening’s theme “Shine” means to them by creating different works. Then comes the auction with proceeds going towards a children’s charity.

And who are these ten chosen ones? Included are Kate Moss, Sam Taylor Wood, Twiggy and Barry Humphries (the U.K.s most treasured female impersonator). They are all expected to appear at the party, except maybe one - Mischa Barton. Doh! Unless they can pull her out of her lockdown.

Mischa, we wish you well.

Oh No, Coop: Word out of LA is that Mischa Barton is being held at the hospital on a 5150. That’s a Britney-style psychiatric hold. Send in Ryan Atwood! {WWD}

Tonchi to Times Square? Stefano might just be leaving T for the 12th floor of the Conde building. Interesting, very interesting. {FWD}

ALT In NC: Andre heads south, discusses Ashford and Simpson, The Wiz, and Maya Angelou. Needless to say the pic is brills too. {Life With Andre}

Dolled Up: There exist in the world 25 Terry Richardson action figures. Sometimes things are just so right. {Refinery29 via Slamhype}

Shine On: What does “shine” mean to Twiggy, Mischa, and Kate? Sass & Bide knows. Now you can too. {Vogue UK}

More Puppies! Modelinia continues to fill the void left in my life by George the Jack Russell being out of town with more model dogs. This time on video and including a trip to visit Santa with Chanel Iman’s very excited pooch. {Modelinia}

Up the Rabbit Hole: Where did the bunny ears come from? Marc discusses. {Fashionologie}

The latest member of fashion’s TV takeover?

Elle MacPherson.

The supermodel’s signed on to Ashton Kutcher’s CW pilot, A Beautiful Life, the same one for which Mischa Barton’s interrupting those Shakespeare studies.

Elle plays Claudia (so if Claudia Schiffer guest stars, does she get to be Elle?), a supermodel from the 80’s who still happens to be smoking hot. In her spare time, she runs the top New York Model agency, Focus models, “with the efficiency and toughness of a dictator.”

Natalie can’t figure out if this is a genuine drama or a satire on drama because she says you couldn’t possibly cast Mischa Barton on another CW soap if it’s supposed to be taken seriously.

I think it’s reality TV with prettier people and a script.

We don’t know - and can’t imagine - why, so we’ll just give you the facts:

1. Ashton Kutcher is starting another television show, this time for the CW (home of the fashion-centric Gossip Girl), and this time about models.

2. It’s going to be based on his experiences having grown up as a model from Iowa, though it looks like it’s supposed to be fiction.

3. Actress/former Keds girl/handbag designer Mischa Barton will star in the series as Sonia, “a successful model who keeps the competition at bay but also advises the younger ones, at the end of the month.”

Which kind of makes it sound like it’s supposed to be a fake reality show, which sounds perfectly in line with the rest of the information.

But most pressing: Can it top High Heel Boot Camp?

We know stylists work hard - it can’t be easy to dress divas, guarantee red carpet success and compete in a very small, very competitive industry - but we often wonder how hard it can really be when all the big names knock down your door with the prettiest clothes and accessories .

So we’re kind of thrilled that Rihanna’s stylist is working a little overtime to promote smaller, particularly British, labels.

The singer lit the Empire State building last night for Cartier Love Day wearing the colorful PPQ dress to the left. Then, she wore a colorful ruffly Poltock & Walsh skirt on the Today Show this morning, (Topshop - PLEASE pay attention), and she’s been out and about in plenty of outfits we don’t recognize, which is very refreshing.

Sure, people like Mischa Barton and the Olsens wear underground brands all the time, but Rihanna’s far more mainstream which means she has potential to bring indie brands into a bigger spotlight with the kind of break that only comes with devoted celebrity fans.

To Rihanna’s stylist, keep it coming.

Now we really can’t wait for the return of Gossip Girl.

The Daily Intel reports that Michelle Trachtenberg, known as Harriet the Spy in our world, is set to play the role of Georgina Sparks (rumored to have been first offered to Mischa Barton), Serena van der Woodsen’s arch enemy, in the coming weeks.

Georgina is supposed to return to Constance Billard after a stint in rehab and shake up the life of GG’s Golden Girl, no doubt by catching the eye of Dan (Michelle is from Brooklyn, after all), and simultaneously playing around with Chuck for good measure.

Look out for fights on the steps of the Met, Serena in Topshop, Blair in Chanel, and Georgina in Heatherette.

But we’re sure when the Met Ball’s worked into the script, we’ll see Teen Vogueette Michelle in a form-fitting, strapless Ralph…
