Kate Winslet kept it simple and elegant at the opening night of Impact: 50 Years of the CFDA at the Fashion Institute of Technology Thursday night.

The British lovely looked sleek in her long sleeved St. John LBD, coupled together with black Roger Vivier peep toe heels and silver earrings and cuff.

Kate toured the exhibit which featured designs by heavyweights like Tom Ford, Donna Karan, Diane von Furstenberg and Marc Jacobs just to name a few.

We wonder if she took any ideas for her wardrobe home with her!

Soon you’ll be able to own a piece of the Titanic’s history.

Thousands of items salvaged from the shipwreck will be sold as a large package this April 1st at New York auction house Guernsey.

The goodies include over 5,500 pieces of ship fittings, fine china, and even perfume bottles that are said to still be fragrant.

According to reports, the estimated valued of the items is said to be worth over $189 million!

The relics were recovered by the RMS Titanic, a salvaging company, and according to a federal judge in VA, they’ll be entitled to a certain amount of the profits.

Wonder if the items will sell for over $200 million!

As we mentioned earlier this summer, Kate Middleton’s wedding dress finally went on display inside Buckingham Palace.

While Kate Middleton’s wedding gown has received a lot of attention lately, Princess Diana’s dress still manages to draw in viewers worldwide.

Princess Diana’s bridal gown, with its 25 foot train, is part of the Diana: A Celebration exhibit traveling the world and has been viewed by over 1 million people!

The exhibit, which is currently in Toronto, also helped raise approximately over $1 million for charity.

Security around the dress is tight. Nick Grossmark and Graeme Murton are the only two individuals allowed to handle the dress, wearing white gloves of course.

Grossmark reveals:

“It is simply magnificent, and the most famous dress ever. At the wedding it was seen by almost a million people. It is a fairytale fantasy, a typical princess's wedding gown. It's like something out of Walt Disney."

When not on exhibit, the dress is kept at the Althorp Estate and is looked after by Di's brother Earl Spencer. However, it’s owned by both Prince William and Harry.
