POPSTAR Taylor Swift turned heads at the 2015 Elle Style Awards as she arrived on the red carpet in daring emerald Julien Macdonald dress on Tuesday night to receive the Woman of the Year award.
Held at the newly opened Sky Garden in the Walkie Talkie building in London, the annual event celebrates the world’s most stylish stars, emerging talent and fashion’s greatest achievers.
The 25-year-old opted to show off both her cleavage and her long legs in thanks to the thigh-split detail which was topped with an alluring zip.
The top-section of her gown was designed to look like a bra from the front and back, which showed off her cleavage, making sure that all eyes were on her.

Joost tape is out for all to see...

Image
THE Joost van der Westhuizen sex tape saga descended into a tabloid frenzy last month as Heat magazine screened a grainy video purporting to show the former Springbok captain in compromising positions.  The 29-minute tape, which was shown to journalists, showed a man who bore some resemblance to Van der Westhuizen frolicking with what heat magazine described as a “vindictive young lady” wearing two G-strings “in the stripper tradition”.  It claimed that the video proved conclusively that Van der Westhuizen had cheated on his wife, singer Amore Vittone. But the magazine did not identify the woman and provided little corroborating evidence in the accompanying story. Twelve print, radio and television journalists watched the man, whom Van der Westhuizen strongly denies is him, arousing himself, running his hands over the woman’s body, and using a sex toy. Now HEAT has place the video up on their site.  Click HERE to see all this drama.
