Though the black and white-toed Chanel heel has been popping up lately on famous feet like Kerry Washington, Fergie and Demi Moore, the cap-toe style is hardly new. Unlike most passing fashion fads, these spectator shoes are turning 50 years old this year! Coco Chanel designed the first pair of two-toned heels in 1957 after being inspired by men’s leisure shoes, debuting in beige with a black cap toe as a slingback. Over the years, different colors have been added to the style to ensure they could be worn with everything in a woman’s wardrobe. The spectator heel became just as classic of a Chanel piece as her quilted bags — both of which are paid homage to regularly by designers like Prada and Marc JacobsTell us: Do you own two-toned heels?

Demi Moore has been a fixture in the front row throughout Fashion Week, and Tuesday night was no different. The star showed up –without husband Ashton Kutcher — on the arm of Charlie’s Angels co-star Lucy Liu for the Zac Posen show. The stylish duo joined Bette Midler, Martha Stewart, Serena Williams, P.Diddy (and of course StyleWatch!) to see the designer’s new Spring 2008 collection. Demi sat right across the runway from us, as riveted as we were by the gorgeous gowns and fabulous mini skirts on the runway, we couldn’t take our eyes off of Demi’s brand new Zac Posen clutch. It wasn’t the fire engine red that caught our eye, but the oddly enlongated rectangular shape of the bag. It seemed a bit difficult to grasp, much less hold anything of use in it. We loved what was on Zac’s runway, but we aren’t so sure about Demi’s bag. Tell us: Would you wear Demi’s Zac Posen Virginia Atache Case?

Though Ashlee Simpson caused quite a stir at Wednesday’s BCBG show, nothing could have prepared us for yesterday’s Miss Sixty show. Just as we were getting settled, Maggie Gyllenhaal descended the stairs and sat directly in front of us! The actress and newlingere model, clad in sexy high-waisted trousers, had to put her gold wire aviators on to shield herself from blinding camera flashes. But total chaos broke out when a jeans-clad Hilary Swank entered — being led by Demi Moore! Hilary greeted Maggie with a kiss while gorgeous Clive Owen slipped into his seat next to Demi. With everyone going so crazy over that fab foursome, Mischa Barton’s entrance was hardly noticed. When the show finally started it was hard to tear our eyes away from the front row, but the Italian design house’s bold all-over logo prints, electric colors like yellow, mauve and steel blue, patent bags, wide brimmed hats and super short-shorts inspired by Andy Warhol’s pop art kept the audience wrapt. When the lights came up, Demi, Hilary and Maggie were gone in a flash, to the safe haven of backstage!

It may be New York Fashion Week, but Van Cleef & Arpels kicked it off with “Une Journee a Paris,” a night-to-remember party in the Big Apple. Showcasing their collection of “haute” jewelry, the party featured a fashion show styled by Annabel Tollman (stylist to stars such as Scarlett Johansson and Catherine Zeta Jones) and performances by the legendary Lido cabaret dancers (topless, wearing white fur and glittery blue costumes) and French pop-punk princesses The Plastiscines. Stars like Demi Moore, Ashley Olsen and Mischa Barton partied along with a capacity crowd of almost 1200 people! And what brought out a Chanel-clad Sarah Michelle Gellar? She told PEOPLE that not only was she on the host committee for the evening, but Van Cleef & Arpels “are the ultimate! Their jewelry is every girl’s fantasy. And I love the Paris theme.” Diamonds, Paris, fashion — what’s not to like?

To say the Moore-Willis-Kutcher clan is stylish is an understatement, but we were still impressed with the group’s chic outfits as they supported Bruce Willis at Friday’s Live Free or Die Hard premiere in New York City. Mom Demi Moore and husband Ashton Kutcher looked effortless in their YSL ensembles — even their accessories were YSL! 18-year old Rumer picked up on her mother’s style, wearing a plunging black gown. But our favorite ensemble was 13-year old Tallulah — the chic teen walked the red carpet in a Kate Moss for Topshop dress! Like iconic mother, like stylish daughter. . .

Our readers may not be into Ashton Kutcher’s new beard, but wife Demi Moore seems to love her husband’s scruffy new look. The ever-elegant Moore playfully caressed her husband’s thick beard at the launch party for Donna Karan’s ten-day Wellness Forum at the Stephen Weiss Studio in Manhattan last week. “They were really cute together,” an observer told PEOPLE. “They stuck together the whole time, and they were sitting together holding hands.” Kutcher and Moore, who was dressed in a curve-hugging Donna Karan sapphire dress, were excited to help Karan launch the series of seminars about incorporating eastern medicine into western medicine practices. Kutcher even helped Donna design the logo for the forum, says an insider. “Donna said that he’s very artistic, so she looked to him for guidance.” Does that mean we can expect heavy beards at her next show?
