Who: Jennifer Lawrence Where: At the London Premiere of her new film, The Hunger Games at the O2 Wearing: A custom hand-beaded halter-neck Ralph Lauren gown, which shimmered with crocodile-skin pattern, teamed with a black YSL waist belt and Roger Vivier shoes Verdict: When I heard that Jennifer was wearing gold again, so soon after that breathtaking Prabal Gurung gown, I was a little worried that it would be a little bit déjà vu for her.

In Pictures: My Desk Eye View

Musings

I have been freelance for about a month and I can tell you no matter how much I am enjoying it I have to admit it has taken some getting used to. Now instead of having to cram onto a packed train into London I make my way to the next room to my office, or as it is more happily known my tiny corner of heaven.
