With Lucy Liu serving as the event’s fashionable host, guests including celeb-stylist Rachel Zoe, January Jones, Kate Mara and China Chow filed into Satine boutique in West Hollywood to check out the designer’s MySpace Fashion Trunk Show and Spring Collection Preview. “I love his dresses,” said January, “because they’re tailored and polished.” The Mad Men actress also appreciates Wu’s chic yet comfortable attitude toward dressing the female form. “This dress doesn’t have a corset built into it,” she said of her form-fitting frock. “I’d rather have a belly than a corset!” For the evening’s hostess, it was all about one special item. “My favorite look is the citron embroidered dot dress from the spring collection,” said Lucy. “I think the material and colors are unique and feminine — like most of Jason’s collection.” And while Wu may have a star following that includes A-listers like Lu and Charlize Theron, the designer also takes inspiration from the industry’s up-and-comers. “I love working with young actresses who are just on the verge,” he explains. “It’s always good to have a muse.” Click here to see more from Jason’s the MySpace event and here to see his MySpace profile.

He’s already have won over stars like Eve and Joy Bryant with his renegade fashions, and — as we reported two weeks ago — Alexander McQueen is ready to make the rest of America into fans with a new line for Target. In an interview with WWD, the designer dishes about his motivations behind the budget-friendly collection, McQ Alexander McQueen for Target, which will top out in price at $130 — a far cry from the thousands-high price tags of his usual clothing. His favorite challenge in doing a line with the retailer was in winning over an untapped audience. “Apart from the East and West Coasts, my company doesn’t have any visibility in the U.S.,” he says. “I always liked the idea of people in the Midwest wear my clothes. The idea of this upstart from London going to where people haven’t heard of me, I think that was interesting to me.” And, he adds, “I think it’s quite adventurous of Target.” Tell us: Will you be lining up at select Target stores — or on Target.com — to grab McQueen’s goods when they launch in March?

They may normally be ice cold and pale, but the vampires of Twilight look red-hot in tuxedo-inspired fashion in this month’s InStyle. Shot under the desolate skies of Portland, Ore., the film limited its actors’ wardrobe to “lots of jackets, hoodies and thermals,” leading lady and human love interest Kristen Stewart, 18, tells the December issue of InStyle. “If we were throwing our own party, this is what we would wear.” Modeling leather pants, bejeweled accessories, and unbuttoned dinner jackets, Stewart and castmates Kellan Lutz, 23, Nikki Reed, 20, Rachel Lefevre, 28, and Robert Pattinson, 22, sport formalwear befitting their undead counterparts. “It’s like we’ve gone in and taken our grandmother’s silver, brought it outside and tarnished it,” says Lefevre.
