Shock in the city! Worried Sarah Jessica Parker halts photo shoot after man collapses in the street

By MIKE LARKIN

Shocked in the city: Sarah Jessica Parker ran out of her photo shoot after hearing a man had collapsed in the street in London today

There are many reasons why an A-list celebrity might call a halt to a photo shoot.

But there were no tantrums when Sarah Jessica Parker stormed out of her session in London today, as she was rushing to check how a man was after he collapsed.

The Sex and the City actress ran onto the street outside swanky London hotel Claridges after hearing the commotion when the unknown chap passed out.

Nosey Parker: Sarah could not drag herself away from the drama outside

The shocked star made her exit after hearing the wife of the man, who was just passing by, screaming for help.

Luckily the hotel security staff were on hand and were able to aid the gentleman.

Eventually the drama was over and the glamorous 46-year-old was able to get to business.

Sarah has been jetting around the world promoting her upcoming movie I Don't Know How She Does It.

City slicker: Sarah seemed to be having a great time in the English capital of London

And the fashion conscious actress has admitted her style icons are of English stock.

She revealed her favourites include the likes of the two Kates, Middleton and Moss.

She said she is very impressed with the way the 29-year-old Duchess of Cambridge, who is married to Prince William, and supermodel Moss, 37, dress.

The first waves club: Sarah was happy to greet fans as she got ready to leave the hotel

She said: 'So many. Ingrid Bergman & the way Kate Moss dresses & the Duchess of Cambridge.'

Sarah added that she hopes American designers will take a leaf from their British counterparts and take more risks.

Saluting the princess: Sarah has revealed the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton is one of her style icons

She continued: 'British fashion is more risky but we have some emerging American designers that seem inspired in that direction.'

And Sarah certainly knows how to take a fashion risk.

She wore a dramatic Little Red Riding Hood-inspired strapless gown complete with cape for the premiere of her new comedy at the Ritz Carlton hotel in Moscow.

Park Playdate for supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio and her designer-clad daughter

By ANDREA MAGRATH

Playdate in the park: Supermodel mum Alessandra Ambrosio and her daughter Anja played at the park in Santa Monica today

When your mother is a supermodel, it's never too early to become a style setter.

Victoria's Secret Angel Alessandra Ambrosio enjoyed a playdate at the park with her adorable daughter Anja today.

And the three-year-old managed to upstage her stunning mother by wearing a lovely navy blue knit dress, by designer Ralph Lauren.

Little Anja's preppy style didn't stop her from tearing into the sandpit and having a ball on the play equipment at the Santa Monica park.

The cute youngster and her lookalike mother had fun playing together on the see-saw (or teeter-totter) in the sunshine.

Alessandra, 30, also helped Anja up onto the monkey bars, before grabbing hold herself and swinging about.

Couture for kids: The three-year-old was wearing a Ralph Lauren dress

Given that she has starred in a number of campaigns for the classic American brand, it is likely that Alessandra was gifted the designer dress, which retails for $79.50.

The supermodel went for a more bohemian look for the mother-daughter playdate,

opting for a tie-dye maxi dress by Gypsy05, one of her favourite brands.

She added stacks of gold bangles and a long silver necklace, and added a white tassled scarf when the girls were spotted later at the Brentwood Country Mart.

Fun in the sun: The 30-year-old got in the action on the monkey bars with her adorable daughter

Alessandra carried her lookalike daughter through the carpark after they stopped for a snack.

There was no sign of the model's fiance and Anja's father, businessman Jamie Mazur.

The couple began dating in 2005 and welcomed Anja on August 24, 2008 in Alessandra's native Brazil.

The Kardashian sisters sizzle in lingerie for clothing line campaign... shot by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz

By ANDREA MAGRATH

Sister act: Racy new promotional shots of the Kardashian sisters for the Sears clothing line have been released

Many critics continue to dismiss the Kardashians as simply famous for being famous.

But one respected figure has jumped on the bandwagon - world renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz has shot the sisters for an ad campaign to promote their clothing line for department store Sears.

Kim, Kourtney and Khloe posed for the famed artist scantily clad in lingerie in newly released shots.

Gazing seductively at the cameras, Kim, 30, shows off her famous assets in a black and white lace set.

Kourtney, 32, dons a skimpy colourful design while youngest Khloe, 27, wears a pretty pink lace basque and suspender stockings.

The top secret photoshoot was completed back in May, and Kim gushed about working with Leibovitz on her blog at the time.

Smouldering: Kourtney, Kim and Khloe pose for celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz

She wrote: 'What an amazing day! We shot with the living legend herself, Annie Leibovitz! I swear this was such an eye opening day. She shot our Kardashian Kollection for Sears ad campaign!

'I can’t give away any details, but we have never been shot like this before and it was soooo fun shooting with Kourtney and Khloe… Mason even made a cameo!'

The trio clearly made a lasting impression on the photographer, who is now throwing them a bash at her studio in New York next week to celebrate the Kardashian Kollection clothing line.

Animal instinct: The family are expanding their empire with another retail store opening soon in Las Vegas called Kardashian Khaos

Leibovitz is known for her love of celebrity photography and has snapped rock and business royalty with commissions from Michael Jackson to Bill Gates to real royalty, The Queen.

The 61-year-old famously photographed John Lennon and Yoko Ono in his last photo shoot. He was shot and killed just five hours later.

In the photos with the New York based photographed the Kardashian girls lounge on a sofa clad all in black and in another strut towards the camera in leopard-print pieces.

The Kardashian Kollection was launched in Los Angeles a fortnight ago and hit stores on August 25.

In addition to their collection for Sears and various fragrances and other products, the family continue to expand their retail empire.
