>> Michelle Obama has been wearing mostly British designers like Preen and Roksanda Illincic, since stepping off Air Force One yesterday on an official visit to the UK. (Although she went with American designer Barbara Tfank to meet Kate Middleton and Prince William earlier today; the Reiss dress Middleton wore for the occasion promptly sold out online.).

This evening, however, for the state dinner with Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace, Michelle chose an ivory ruched georgette ribbon gown by Tom Ford, the American designer who also happens to make his home half the year in London, where his studios are located.

>> Joe Zee's Sundance Channel reality show, All on the Line, has been picked up for a second season on the eve of the premiere season's finale episode, airing tonight. The second cycle will debut in November.

And it sounds like another editor is working towards his own reality project. Andre Leon Talley, who has put in time as a judge on the past three seasons of America's Next Top Model, was spotted with camera crews trailing behind him this past weekend while he was in Savannah for SCAD's annual senior fashion show. Although the crew told onlookers they were filming for Top Model, it's rumored to be be for a reality show focusing on Talley, instead.

UPDATE: Talley has responded to the rumors: "There is no truth to this rumor about a reality television pilot." [The Cut]

>> Last month, Christian Louboutin hit Yves Saint Laurent with a $1 million-plus trademark-infringement lawsuit for the use of red soled shoes in the Spring 2011 YSL collection. Now, Saint Laurent has filed court papers, alleging that Louboutin fraudently claimed "exclusive" use of red soles in his trademark application and is illegally trying to monopolize a style that he didn't invent.

"Red outsoles are a commonly used ornamental design feature in footwear, dating as far back as the red shoes worn by King Louis XIV in the 1600s and the ruby red shoes that carried Dorothy home in The Wizard of Oz," YSL says in court papers. "As an industry leader who has devoted his entire professional life to women's footwear, Mr. Louboutin either knew or should have known about some or all of the dozens of footwear models that rendered his sworn statement false."

The French fashion house also notes that it has been producing shoes with red soles since the 1970s, "long before" Louboutin began doing so, and alleges that Louboutin's suit is part of an "anti-competitive campaign" that included pressuring retailers like Saks, Barneys, Bergdorf Goodman, and Neiman Marcus to pull Yves Saint Laurent shoes off their shelves.
