Charlotte Ronson Spring 2012: Western Girl Meets Downtown Cool

Charlotte Ronson has essentially built a career designing for her friends–which isn’t such a bad thing when you consider who we’re talking about here: Margherita Missoni, Kelly Osbourne, Joy Bryant, Whitney Port and Nicky Hilton were among the designer’s pals who came to show support at Ronson’s spring 2012 show. And that’s not even counting the Ronson bloodline, which, with Sam Ronson DJ’ing the event and Annabelle Dexter-Jones walking, was in full force.

But while the celebrities were easy to spot, the actual collection was a bit harder to pin down. Ronson opened the show with a color-blocked denim look, with a modern western-vibe–one of our favorite looks–and carried on the cowgirl theme for a few looks–including a floaty patchwork frock that we loved. However, soon we lost track of where, in terms of inspiration, the collection actually was coming from, with 90s-inspired florals, mod 60s silhouettes, a pair of punky shorts, and even a flapper-inspired gown all coming out on the runway within the span of a few minutes.

That’s not to say that we didn’t enjoy the strange mash-up of styles–there were certainly some highlights–but we feel like Ronson strayed a little too far from what she does best (denim, cool-girl frocks, and easy separates) that we left wishing we could have seen more of those highlights.

Finally Some Good News For Charlotte Church! She's Lined Up To Judge The Voice (UK)

Between that scary gas leak and the embarrassing underwear-exposing video, Charlotte Church has been having a tough run of it lately!

Fortunately, things are looking up for Charl now that she's set to join The Voice as a judge…although there COULD be drama if Cheryl Cole joins the panel as well.

Here's what a source had to say about it:

"Cheryl won't be pleased to learn that Charlotte is up for The Voice. She's keen on doing it as it will be a sensational return to UK telly after her humiliation on the X Factor."

"But there's way too much bad blood between her and Charlotte they'd just end up arguing all the time."

For those who are unaware of the bad blood between Cheryl and Charlotte, Ms. Cole has previously said the following about Charlotte and her ex Gavin Henson:

"I don't know who she and her scabby boyfriend think they are. He's a posing idiot who looks like a girl. And she's not even gorgeous. She's a nasty little piece of work with a fat head."

Ouch! Let's hope these two are able to patch things up if they both join the show. It should be all about finding wonderful new talent. The show should NOT focus on dramz between judges!

Would U like to see Charlotte Church and/or Cheryl Cole on The Voice???
