From beauty must-haves to red-carpet style, check out the biggest fashion, beauty and celebrity happenings of the week...
The week began with the CFDA Awards in New York. The industry hurrah honouredProenza Schouler, Alexander Wang andMarc Jacobs, but we were more interested in the designers’ model dates than the acceptance speeches.

And continuing her campaign to boost the increasingly regal British high street, Kate Middleton wore another Reiss dress (we almost wore this style to a wedding last week—Kate, let's be shopping buddies!) to the races. She kept with the pale tones but amped up the glamour with a Jenny Packham gown at a charity gala last night.
