Australian designer Kate Watts' newly launched label Only One Ashley portrays a successful, elegant woman full of confidence.

But behind the Perth 39-year-old's glamorous creations are memories of a harrowing past that have helped shaped her into who she is today.

Watts created her label in honour of her late daughter Ashley, who she fell pregnant with after being raped at the age of 14.

Ashley was born with a terminal brain condition that ultimately cut her life short at just 18.

There are a host of reasons Claire Underwood’s character on House of Cards has become so iconic: her resoundingly anti-feminine commitment to Washington’s dirty politics, her cut-throat comments (think: “I am willing to let your child wither and die inside you, if that’s what it takes”) and, undeniably, the fact her immaculate wardrobe generates palpable envy.

The royal treatment! Chrissy Teigen and John Legend throw a baby shower for their yet to arrive little princess

Looks like there may be another royal named Hollywood baby on the way.

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend celebrated their soon-to-arrive baby girl in New York on Sunday.

While traditionally it is ladies-only at a baby shower, the pair broke with convention so that the 37-year-old signer could attend the special day with his wife.

California native Catherine Fulmer is an original cool girl; she stomped all over Manhattan in the late '90s and '00s, finished a degree from FIT, and immediately began making custom clothes for A-listers and showing at New York Fashion Week. She's also lithe and gorgeous, Selma Blair was her roommate, she counts Kirsten Dunst and Jaime King as pals, and Eva Mendes can be seen out and about in her designs. Put simply, Catherine's got it going on.

When Uniqlo launched its first modest wear line, a collaboration with designer Hana Tajima, it made news for being among the first high street brands to feature hijabs and kebayas, a style of tunic worn in Southeast Asia.

The Oscars is the most glamorous night of the year and the ladies certainly didn't disappoint.
Some kept it classy in typical Academy Awards style, we're looking at you Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie, others added a playful touch, cue Chrissy Teigen and Miranda Kerr, and then there were those who were hell-bent on breaking all of the rules, and pulled it off with utter perfection - take a bow Rooney Mara.

Just a few alterations! Vanessa Hudgens stands still for the dress stylist in Beverly Hills as countdown to Oscars fun begins

Vanessa Hudgens can certainly rock a form-fitting gown, and with The Oscars and the parties mere days away she was wise to plan ahead.

The 27-year-old Grease: Live star was pretty and practically minded as she headed to a dress fitting in Beverly Hills on Monday.

Vanessa was wearing a burgundy backless sundress with halter neckline and flaring below-the-knee skirt as she arrived to the posh location.

Taylor Swift’s maid of honor dress is nearly as beautiful as the bride’s

One thing you don’t want on your wedding day is to find yourself upstaged by the maid of honor, which is a real risk when your maid of honor is Taylor Swift.

Luckily for Swift’s childhood friend, Britt Mack, the 26-year-old pop-star managed to dress herself down just enough to be beautiful but not the center of attention. The bride’s stunning wedding gown wins the dressed award, but Swift’s sparkling blush gown definitely pulled a close second in comparison.
