Pregnant Tamsin Egerton is super chic in figure-hugging little black dress as she cosies up to Donna Air at glam dinner

She's expecting her first child in a couple of months, and has been showing off an enviable pregnancy wardrobe since the summer.

And as Tamsin Egerton hit the Baccarat/1 Hotel Dinner at One Horse Guards in London on Wednesday night, the British actress and girlfriend of US star Josh Hartnett was again looking effortlessly chic.

Tamisin, 26, kept her look simple in a little black dress which showed off her neat baby bump as she enjoyed the glam dinner with the likes of Donna Air.

The blonde beauty looked gorgeous in her knee-length number which featured a flirty pleated skirt and three quarter length sleeves.

The high-necked frock was teamed with classic black heels and a chain-length shoulder bag.

Tamsin left her long blonde locks loose and swept back from her face to accentuate her pretty features, adding a touch of lip gloss and shimmering eyeshadow.

Tamsin and Josh, who have been together since 2012 after meeting on the set of their film The Lovers, are happily counting down the days till they welcome their first child.

Josh and the model-turned-actress started dating shortly after he was in a romance with American actress Amanda Seyfried.

The US actor and Brit beauty now split their time between Dublin, where Josh films his hit TV show Penny Dreadful for six months of the year, and London where Tamsin has a home.

Josh's representative confirmed their baby joy in July, by tellingPage Six: 'It's true and they are beyond thrilled.'

Just a few months before the news broke, 37-year-old Josh revealed he was looking forward to being a father.

He told Playboy: 'I have to get a car that's safe for my kid. I don't have a kid yet, but that's the idea coming into my head these days.'

While Tamsin was without her man on Wednesday, she did mingle with a glam crowd, including Donna Air.

The TV star was looking gorgeous in a peacock print midi-length dress, which highlighted her svelte figure.

With a pair of brown satin pumps and a clutch to finish off the ensemble, Donna left her glossy blonde locks in loose waves as she hit her second event of the night, after enjoying the Very.co.uk fashion presentation with her daughter Freya.

Drowned Dragons at R.Shemiste and a Kanye-Style Show at Supercomma B

The final days of Seoul Fashion Week tend to lack some punch, as the heavy weekend crowds must return to work and school. This season, designers made up for any lack of buzz by doubling down on themes. The results? A day filled with sometimes complex, often curious clothes—good fun, all in all.

Big Park is a family venture: Veteran designer Park Youn Soo launched the label three years ago with his daughters, Sooy and Jay Park, who both studied at Central Saint Martins and the London College of Fashion. They began with the idea of a Lost Garden, or the slow destruction of untrammeled nature by urban development. Exaggerated branches and Surrealist plants—misshapen, as though they’d mutated from pollution—were appliquéd, patchworked, and printed on silk chiffon blouses and midi skirts; folkloric florals came embroidered on ruffles, and running up flares. There was velvet—black ribbons worn as chokers and hairbands—and dazzling emerald green prairie boots that resembled forest moss crossed with nuclear waste, in the best way.

Nature took a different tack at R.Shemiste, where denimhead designers Jiyeun Won and Jooho Lee were inspired by Katsushika Hokusai, the Edo-era ukiyo-e painter. Hair was left wet and stringy, as though models had emerged from the sea after being hit by The Great Wave Off Kanagawa; one even walked barefoot. White dragons embroidered on sleeves had threads left dangling, which clung to the garments like strands of seaweed, and there were keyholes on the backs of shirts that mimicked submarine windows. Blue and white tops with exaggerated cuffs had sleeves dripping in pearls—perhaps a subtle allusion to Hokusai’s infamous Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife? Whatever the reference, the result was striking.

Over at Jarret, Ji Youn Lee went all in on apples. There were bright red ones perched on chairs for snacking, and the letter A was stamped on basketweave slingback flats. Abstract hand drawings of apple halves, melting like Dalí clocks, covered sheer tops and crisp white blazers, while the word Apple was embroidered in funky script on sweatshirts and scrawled on ribbon tags that sprung from shoulders and hips. The standout interpretation, however, was the simplest: a two-piece set in candy-apple red.

Designer Bonnie Lee is best known for the inventive footwear she turns out at Suecomma Bonnie; the sophomore Fashion Week outing of Supercomma B, her unisex streetwear line, felt a great deal like Kanye West’s turn at Adidas, at least at first. To start, muted materials were punctuated by shocks of color in retro ’80s style. Halfway through the show, hip-hop power couple Tiger JK and Yoon Mirae took a turn down the runway, signaling a move toward oil-slick sequin skirts and shorts, and a dramatic blue sequin gown. A finale walk filled with Gundam and Transformers-style mecha shirts made for a surreal end to the day.

Party season is upon us and the inbox starts to overflow with invitations to various fun events. It can be incredibly confusing trying to decipher the many different dress codes. You want to find something fabulous and appropriate for the occasion.

To avoid a fashion faux pas, check out my mini how-to guide for party dress codes. From there, you can tweak it to make it your own.

Black-tie

This calls for a super-sophisticated, dressed-to-the-nines, red-carpet-worthy, floor-length gown. TK Store's slinky halter-necked Berlin dress brings back old Hollywood style glamour. If you're after wow-factor then look no further.

Dress to Impress

Think ultra classy with maximum impact. A perfect choice is Camilla and Marc's colourful Spirit top and Stealing Beauty skirt. This fashion-forward look is made for hosting hip dinner parties, attending art gallery openings and basically any high-glam events.

Cocktail/After 5

When it comes to semi-formal or cocktail attire, my motto is keep it chic and simple. Dress length is always shorter here. Black Halo's tailored dress ticks all the boxes. Just add some to-die-for statement accessories and it's time to get the party started.

Dressy Resort

Maxi dresses rule here but always with a glam edge. For the wild at heart, Carlson's leopard print Harper's dress is a great bohemian choice.

Creative Cocktail

Keeping it dressy, it's now time to think outside the square. Stolen Girlfriends Club's Gather ball dress brings a bit of rock 'n' roll style into the mix. Add a leather jacket and some killer accessories and you're ready to hit the town.

Festive

Festive attire means you can add an element of fun. A shimmery fabric, razzle-dazzle sequins or, in this case, fabulous fringing, will do the trick. Liam's flapper-esque Vaudeville dress fits this brief perfectly.

Creative black-tie

Break away from the traditional ball gown and try a tailored pants ensemble instead. Staple + Cloth's Folio top and Sidney pant is a look that personifies effortless and understated chic.

With party dress codes explained, it's time to embrace the party season confidently. If in doubt, always remember "never be afraid to sparkle a little brighter, darling" and, as Coco Chanel said, as long as you always keep it "classy and fabulous", you can do no wrong.

Sofia Vergara Chose a wedding dresses By Designer Zuhair Murad for Joe Manganiello Nuptials

Here comes the bride! Beirut-born designer Zuhair Murad has outfitted Modern Family actress Sofía Vergara for Oscar and Golden Globe bashes. Now, in the new issue of Us Weekly, a Vergara source says the star has entrusted the couturier with the most important party dress of all: her wedding gown!

Vergara, 43, will wear a custom-made, fairy-tale frock to wed fiancé Joe Manganiello on Nov. 22 at the Breakers Resort in Palm Beach, Fla. The duo has been engaged since the Magic Mike XXL hunk popped the question in Hawaii last December — even reciting his proposal speech to the Colombian-born beauty in Spanish.

One of the couple’s first wedding-planning challenges was narrowing down the guest list. Vergara told Jimmy Kimmel on Sept. 14 that the guest list number is around 400, joking, “200 are, like, my family.”

The pair recently sent out luxurious 8-by-8-inch invitations for the affair. “They’re classy and white,” says the source. “It cost around $7 to mail each one!” Guests will be treated to a Saturday night cocktail reception, followed by the couple's vows on Sunday, planned by celebrity wedding consultant Mindy Weiss.

Among the guests will be the bride-to-be’s Modern Family costars, including Julie Bowen, who told Us Sept. 18 that Manganiello, 38, is “like a caveman” with Vergara. “It’s sexy! I love it,” she said. "She’s so strong, and so [used to] calling the shots all the time, and then you see them together and there’s a part of her that kind of melts. It just warms your heart when you see that, because it’s not all the time that you can tell that there’s an aspect to this relationship that’s very -- how shall we say? -- primal.”

While Vergara told Martha Stewart Weddings that there will be a “special” cake table with “a big wedding cake and lots of desserts,” there won’t be a gift table: According to the insider, the couple have requested donations to Vergara’s beloved St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. And as for pre-wedding jitters? There are none, the source says: “Sofia isn’t nervous at all. She can’t wait to walk down the aisle and be with him forever.”

Instagram Star Blake Scott Reveals How Fashion Bloggers Earn Money

When Blake Scott picked up the phone, he had just finished a shoot for the luxury Italian brand Canali. “They only work with one or two American influencers a year,” he said, “and I’m lucky enough to have worked with them twice this year.”

Once a college science major studying to become a physical therapist, Mr. Scott is now the unlikely possessor of a style blog, The Scott Effect—not to mention more than 371,000 Instagram followers who look to him for men’s fashion guidance. He has also just been selected as one of the latest reps for Bar III‘s “Setting the Bar” campaign, which celebrates millennials’ ambition and entrepreneurship.

Given Mr. Scott’s new gig, we caught up with the style star to learn more about how he brings his own goals to fruition.

How did you go from physical therapy to fashion blogging? My girlfriend at the time suggested we start a blog together. It was very lifestyle-focused. This was before Instagram; when I finally got Instagram, I saw every time I posted a photo of a watch versus a photo of my dog, I was getting more likes. I’d post a fashion photo on Instagram, tag my blog, and people would go over. So we made the decision to go full-on men’s fashion.

Was there a moment you realized your popularity was really growing? There was one time, at Fashion’s Night Out, back when camel was really trending. I got a vintage camel jacket, wore it that night, took a picture, put a couple of hashtags, and got 900 likes. I was like, “Oh my gosh, I’ve only had Instagram for two weeks!” To me, that was very motivating.

Now that Instagram is as huge as it is, do you feel more competition than when you started? How do you set yourself apart? I’m not this guy who has a background in photography or fashion. I’m like a regular Joe—I just stumbled into it. I’m the people’s blogger—a guy’s guy. What you see on me is very relatable—it’s what your boyfriend could wear, or what your dad could wear.

Is The Scott Effect your full-time job now? Yes. My fiancée [Ashley] is my partner—she does all photography and the creative direction. I’m the stylist. We made the decision after we graduated to go full-time into the blog, and not go to grad school. It was a difficult decision, but we had blessings from our families, so we went ahead with it.

Did you have a plan for how you would make money? No. I didn’t even know you could make money. The first year, it was 100 percent for free. I did it all for product exchange—someone would say, “I have shoes, I love your style, I’m going to send them to you.” I was still doing a regular 10-to-2 job [as a driver].

Ashley and I went to New York for vacation, and I ended up meeting bloggers out there that were already getting paid, doing collaborations, and it inspired me to do more. You could actually get paid for this! They told me to think of it as a business.

What do you charge for now? If you send me a pair of shoes, I’m not going to charge you for that, because you’re not asking for anything in return. The only thing I do charge for is creating content; we have to sit down, scout locations for a specific shoot, bring on a videographer. We might have to go get a certain type of car to make the whole image relate to the suit. But if you send me a tie and ask if I want to wear it, I’ll say sure.

What’s the hardest part about your job? Being true to myself. [There’s pressure] to work with brands that don’t fit your brand, but you know they have dollar signs. [It’s hard] for me to tell them no—that’s the most difficult part. But I have to say, “Hey, you know what? Your brand doesn’t fit with mine.”

Where do you see The Scott Effect in 10 years? The blog has been taking off, and I want to expand on that—maybe do a little more lifestyle [content] with home and décor. I just moved into my first loft—I’m super into it and I hope to do a couple of collaborations, and see how that goes.

Do people ever criticize you for not having a fashion background? Some have skepticism at first—they’re a little hesitant. But my blog, my Instagram—that alone is my resumé.
