Amy Adams played Amelia Earhart in this summer’s Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, and now Hilary Swank takes a turn as the pioneering aviator in Mira Nair’s Amelia. At the film’s New York premiere last night, Swank was flying high in a gorgeously draped petrol green gown from Vionnet’s resort 2010 collection.

Scarlett Johansson, the face of Mango’s fall/winter collection, celebrated the line’s launch in Munich, Germany yesterday. The Vicky Cristina Barcelona star stepped out in a sexy, versatile look by the brand that consisted of a tan pencil skirt, bow blouse, and peep-toe pumps. The actress, who recently celebrated her first anniversary with Ryan Reynolds and is set to star in Iron Man 2, continues to win praise for Break Up, the new album on which she collaborated with singer-songwriter Pete Yorn.

Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, which stars Christopher Plummer, Tom Waits, Heath Ledger, and Lily Cole, follows the fantastical tale of a traveling theater troupe that lets its audience members transcend reality through a mirror with supernatural abilities. Titian-tressed beauty Cole, who plays the title character’s daughter, looked ethereal at the film’s Rome Film Festival premiere, in a black corset gown by Dolce & Gabbana that may have had some magical powers of its own.

Sex and the City 2 began filming last month—as evidenced by the images featuring the fabulous foursome decked out in ‘80s garb that recently surfaced. Kristin Davis ditched the fluorescent green getup seen on Charlotte, when the actress made an appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman last night, instead opting for an elegant LBD accessorized with a colorful embellished clutch.

Predictably, Stella McCartney’s spring 2010 show at Paris Fashion Week drew a heady array of boldface names: Sir Paul supported his designer daughter from the front row, as did Charlotte Rampling and pal Gwyneth Paltrow, who looked casually chic in a structured white blazer by McCartney and a pair of acid-wash jeans.

In An Education, set in early-‘60s Britain, Carey Mulligan plays a straitlaced schoolgirl whose studious routine is upended when she meets debonair thirty-something David. At the film’s L.A. premiere, the winsome actress eschewed her character’s shoulder-grazing locks and gray wool uniform for a chic pixie cut and a Lanvin frock that featured a sophisticated floral print rendered in an autumn palette.

Whip It, Drew Barrymore’s foray into feature filmmaking, stars Juno’s Ellen Page as a Texas teen who longs to ditch her small-town beauty-pageant career for the thrills of female roller derbies. At the premiere, Barrymore turned heads in a black sheath dress by L’Wren Scott and red peep-toe platforms by Casadei.

There were plenty of noteworthy looks at Burberry Prorsum’s much-anticipated spring 2010 show during London Fashion Week, particularly ELLE October cover girl Victoria Beckham’s black cocktail frock from her own line. Attendees also included Liv Tyler, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Emma Watson.

The young stars of Kevin Tancharoen’s Fame remake stepped out for its Hollywood premiere last night. So You Think You Can Dance alum Kherington Payne dazzled in an asymmetrical metallic number, which she paired with Stuart Weitzman’s black satin Tijuana platforms. Last week we watched Payne and costar Kay Panabaker preview makeup looks for the premiere.

Dior Beauty hosted a fête for the tenth anniversary of J’Adore at NYC’s Standard Hotel this week. Attendees included Coco Rocha, Lydia Hearst, Theodora Richards, Lykke Li, and Olivia Palermo, who was downtown chic in a silver-metallic dress, studded jacket, and lace-up ankle boots.
