Celebrity starlets were out in full force at last night's CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund gala. Atlanta-based designer, Billy Reid, took home the grand prize - a $300,000 cash infusion and mentorship with a leading industry professional. Runners-up (and taking home $100,000) were Eddie Borgo and Prabal Gurung.

Joining esteemed designers at the event included Leighton Meester, Blake Lively, Mary Louise Parker, Carey Mulligan, Christina Ricci, Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen, Anna Paquin, Ed Westwick, Chace Crawfrod and Kim Kardashian.

Like many of my fellow fashion bloggers, I have a serious addiction to the month of September. Fashion Week (of course!), vampy nail polish & lip colors, plus September fashion all come out to play once the weather begins to whisper towards fall. The magazines are always overflowing with opulence, luxury, and pages upon pages of the best the industry has to offer. Each August, I collect the September issues of magazines like they're prized trading cards, pouring over the pages for inspiration and soaking up every bit of knowledge I can. This season is no different - I raced around the city the instant I learned that the issues were on newsstands to bring the glossy pages home.

Returning home with the (heavy) issues, I realized I still had 2009's issues. Looking at the two side-by-side is fascinating, down to the placement of the same company's ads in front of the feature editorial or the number of pages the cover celebrity was given. In the gallery below, I've scanned the 2010 feature editorial vs the 2009 feature editorial.

Allure:

2010 cover: Kim Kardashian - 2 sex bomb images (what is she promoting again, aside from herself?)

2009 cover: Amanda Seyfried - 4 page editorial, promoting Jennifer's Body & Big Love

Marie Claire:

2010 cover: Mary-Kate Olson - currently working on 2 films for a 2011 release

2009 cover: Ashley Olson - the business brains behind the Olson empire

Glamour:

2010 cover: Jennifer Lopez - attempting to revive her...career

2009 cover: Jessica Simpson - promoting the Jessica Simpson Collection and also attempting to revive her...career

Harper's Bazaar:

2010 cover: Jennifer Aniston - she was available?

2009 cover: Leighton Meester - promoting Gossip Girl and her music career

Vogue:

2010 cover: Halle Berry - her star power is undeniable

2009 cover: Charlize Theron - ditto

Elle:

2010 cover: Julia Roberts - promoting Eat, Pray, Love

2009 cover: Jennifer Aniston - she was available?

Oh Naomi Campbell - for all her alleged, wild antics, the fashion industry is still somehow enamored with her. Is it her killer body? Her stunning smile? Or is it her still relevant supermodel status?

All of these questions race through my head as I view her latest editorial for Russian Vogue. The cover image is cheery and bright, while the rest of layout relies heavily on the curves of Naomi's body and the silhouettes of the pieces she's wearing.

How do you feel about Naomi Campbell and this editorial in particular? Does it make you want to buy the clothing (or a snake, for that matter)?

This September, Vogue lands on your doorstep about 100 pages lighter than the previous year (page count is 584), featuring Oscar winner Charlize Theron.

From the interview: She sits on a poolside couch behind Trattoria Amici in Beverly Hills with a scrunchie on her wrist...

I admit I love Helena Bonham Carter & Tim Burton as a couple.  Her cooky sense of style and his dark sense of humor blend into a seeminly perfect couple.  I loved their collaborations on Corpse Bride, Sweeny Todd, and Charlie and The Chocolate Factory.  It is such a delight to seem them glammed up in the pages of Vogue that I had to share it with you.

What is your favorite Bonham Carter/Burton collaboration?

Kate Moss classes it up in American Vogue’s August 2008 issue.  I’m already feeling the urge to wear trench coats, pointy toe pumps and darker lipstick while inside my house.  Once outside, I want to strip down, wear head scarves and complain about the heat.  I’m proud to see that stylists are starting to dress Kate Moss age appropriately instead of tarting her up. It’s time we fully embrace our true age, don’t you think?

Victoria Beckham may be called many things, but stupid she isn’t.  Obviously the gal has media savvy and a pretty decent head on her shoulders (or at least a good stylist).  Her softness will stun and amaze as you browse the photos of her in Allure magazine’s August 2008 issue.

Actress Amanda Seyfried has seemingly flown under the radar even though she’s appeared in high profile projects such as Mean Girls, Big Love, Veronica Mars and the upcoming Mama Mia movie. In last month’s Vogue Italia, she gave her best Alice In Wonderland for a seven page editorial.
