Loads of great pictures coming through from this year's Cannes Film Festival but this one is my particular favourite - Anglina Jolie, Jack Black and furry friend at the Kung Fu Panda premiere. So in a welcome break from our usual red carpet coverage (strapless bras under strapless dresses, backless under backless, etc), let's pay tribute to the panda - click here for our bamboo underwear.

Interesting story on Style.com about a big trend heading our way later in the year: yes, red tights will be key. They were spotted on the autumn/winter 08 catwalks of Alessandro Dell'Acqua and Vera Wang and model of the moment Agyness Deyn has already been wearing them out. Get a head start on the trend at figleaves.com - Jonathan Aston's opaque tights come in a nice bright shade of scarlet. Available in the UK; in the US.

Let's talk about Holly Willoughby today (everyone else is, after all - in today's Daily Express, for example, or check out the Dancing On Ice site's Holly gallery). Can those Saturday night frocks get any more revealing? And if they do, can she survive this weekend's grand final without a wardrobe malfunction? More importantly, if, like Holly, you are a good size 12 with a generous cleavage, what on earth to wear under a low cut or strapless evening dress? Well, a strapless bra and a bit of tape can help. As for multiways, how about Wonderbra's Multi Plunge or, for larger cup sizes, the plunge Panache Inferno.
Here's one that had to happen. Never knowingly photographed with his shirt on, Matthew McConaughey - he of the endless swimming, surfing and frisbee-throwing pap shots - is to launch his own beachwear range, says E! News.
Well, there was a lot of red on the red carpet, wasn't there? And one shoulder dresses. Meanwhile, here's stripper-turned-Oscar-winning-writer Diablo Cody breaking the mould in an animal print halterneck dress. What to wear under a halterneck? For this, and all your other Oscars-inspired lingerie queries, click here for our annual eveningwear lingerie guide fresh from the red carpet.
So we did say the other day that Coleen was our favourite WAG, but let's hear it for Abigail Clancy too. Here she is at the Brit awards last night working her leopard print underwear. Now it really wouldn't be responsible to recommend that you all go out flashing your animal print knickers, but it's nice to know that Abigail has one of this season's lingerie trends nailed. Click here to see our selection.
PS. In other Brit awards news, it's another celeb for the Spanx roster: the Daily Mail reports that Rhianna had the control pants sewn into her stage costumes.

It's always cheering to know that the celebs - even those as slender as the lovely and fashion forward Thandie Newton - need a little help from their underwear too. As the lovely Thandie demonstrates here, snapped at a pre-Bafta bash in what looks very much like a pair of control knickers, shapewearwear isn't necessarily about making you look thinner; the point of those big knickers is to give you a smooth silhouette under your special occasion frock. Want some? See our control briefs here.

Orange British Academy Film Awards, anyone? Looks like the Oscars might well go ahead this year after all but just in case they don't, here's our traditional look at what the stars wore - and what, if you find yourself inspired to step out in something similar, to wear underneath.
First up, here's Kate Hudson in a low back dress - still a big trend in eveningwear this season. Find our backless solutions here.
So it didn't turn out to be Atonement's night after all, but didn't Keira look lovely in her strapless dress (particularly after she ditched the black jacket)? Find strapless bras here; strapless bras for DD+ here.
And finally here's Myleene Klass, working the body con look while doing presenting duty on the red carpet. Fancy following suit? Smooth out any lumps and bumps with shapewear.

Love cool Californian swim brand Vitamin A but a little puzzled about how best to wear it? Here's Coleen McLoughlin to show you how: it's all about mixing and matching. Our favourite WAG was snapped in Barbados the other day wearing the Midnight Shimmer top £44, with the Sparkle Stripes bottom £84. Inspired? Put together your own combo here.
