Sarah Jessica Parker's NY premiere accessory

SJP's hat at the world premiere of the Sex and the City was a fashion moment, a subtle statement that proved the lady has style.

Now, see above, at last night's homecoming New York premiere of the film.

We're sure Matthew Broderick is a lovely husband, but he doesn't make much of an accessory, does he? There's Sarah in her stunning Nina Ricci dress and 19th century jewellery and Matthew turns up dressed as Gordon Brown.

Super mum Myleene: is it okay to enlist your baby to promote your clothing line?

We like sunny-faced Myleene Klass. We like her a lot. Recently, she's taken an extra turbo-powered leap into our affections by letting the mask down on her life as a mum/celebrity and giving us a deliciously frank account of how it isn't quite so shiny as she might otherwise have allowed us to think. Mama Klass: surely a shoo-in for the next OK! mag Mum of the Year award?

But that last appearance in Cannes left us feeling odd. A pram, a baby and a killer cocktail dress on the red carpet? Cute look. Until someone tells you about the range of baby clothes she's launching today for Mothercare. And then the whole spectacle begins to look less working-mum-making-the-best-of-the-babysitter-letting-her-down and more like cynical product pushing. Which isn't a problem per se. We just think she should be honest about it.

Top 26 fashion millionaires

This Sunday, the much-anticipated Sunday Times Rich List was published. And amongst the steel magnates and footballers were those who make their money from the humble art of sewing. Below are the top 26 fashion millionaires in Britain today.

But what really caught our eye was that Dame Margaret Barbour made it onto the fashion list as the only new entry (of course she was already on the main one, being a Royal favourite).

Could this perhaps have something to do with last season's flurry of celebs donning Barbour jackets? Since the beginning of the year, the Queen's favourite outdoor coat has also graced the shoulders of city-dwelling trainee IT girls Alexa Chung, Peaches Geldof and Lily Allen.

Also, we were also interested to see that the most money seems to be made form high street fashion with Christine Ong of Mulberry languishing at number 22 and only £100million. It's a hard life.

There's only one dress to wear on Oscar night - and this year it should be Valentino. The question is, which one???

Mr Valentino has been King of the red carpet for so long now, it's a wonder those A listers managed to ever navigate it without him. Yesterday, he showed his last ever collection at the Couture Shows in Paris. It was pure, unadulterated, full on, full length, fashion fabulous as only the tanned one knows how. And if I was up for an Oscar, which, presumably, I would be if I'd decided to turn my hand to treading the boards, I'd be heading to him for a red carpet showstopper.  Here are Style's picks, as we match these Valentino frocks with their ideal Oscar nominated models.

Cate Blanchett is so totally talented that this year, she isn't just up for one award, but two. We reckon she should go for another asymmetric number - the lemon yellow Valentino she wore to collect her prize in 2005 was one shouldered, and if it ain't broke, quite frankly, don't fix it.  This one's perfect - and nice and billowy for that 7 month old bump she'll be bringing along with her.

Julie Christie - She's 67, homegrown, and practically perfect in every way. The outfit needs to be covered up and classy, just like her.

Ellen Page isn't the youngest nominated actress, but she is just about the tiniest at 5ft 1. So we'd recommend this - sexy and a bit see through, but not too many frills and ruffles to swamp her.

Laura Linney isn't one for a frill - she should keep it sleek, with something a little like this...

Tilda Swinton isn't known for her conventional sartorial choices, and generally  likes stands out from the crowd. This ought to do it.

And finally, for Keira Knightly, to whom we send our most, erm, sincere condolences for not being nominated, you can wear this. Quite frankly you look good enough as it is.
