Royal sources say that the high street-loving Duchess of Cambridge will strike "private arrangements" with designers to furnish the wardrobe for her upcoming North American tour.

Rocking the menswear look in a gray vest and trousers from Dolce & Gabbana, the 23-year-old actress showed off her bold new crop at the premiere of True Blood's fourth season in Los Angeles.

Plus, the Duchess doesn't accept fashion freebies, Jimmy Choo unveils its Fall 2011 campaign, and Splendid, Ella Moss are both launching shoe lines.

The shortlist has just been released, and boldface names like Marc Jacobs, Phoebe Philo, Miuccia Prada, and Tom Ford all made the cut.
