Once a badass, always a badass.

The Queen Elizabeth II donned 3D glasses to watch a preview of her Christmas message on Sunday, which will be broadcast in 3D for the first time, and she looked fabulous!

But these were not your run-of-the-mill 3D glasses.

So hot to trot!

Kate Winslet was the epitome of chic at the Investiture Ceremony at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday, where she was honored with a CBE award for her services to drama by the Queen of England.

But this isn’t news–Kate is always flawless!

The 37-year-old beauty managed to be both trendy, sophisticated, and avant-garde with her sartorial choices.

The exquisitely tailored Alexander McQueen suit with its satin-trim lapels was ultra luxe, while the peplum detail gave it a modern vibe.

A truly excellent choice for such a grand occasion.

The feather Natalie Ellner for Elsewhere fascinator, however, saved this look from getting too staid by adding a bit of quirk and sass.

Well played, Miz Winslet!

Wonder if the Queen is a fan? Ha!

The gorgeous Girls Aloud gals were matchy-matchy as they performed for the Queen of England and Prince Philip at Royal Albert Hall for the Royal Variety Performance in London on Monday.

Dressed in strapless mermaid-style gowns with gold brocade embroidery (highly reminiscent of the Dolce & Gabbana F/W 2012 collection), the stunning singers took the stage with mega style as a massive Girls Aloud sign flashed in the background.

Talk about stage presence!

With their lovely Veronica Lake tresses, Cheryl Cole, Nicola Roberts, Nadine Coyle, Sarah Harding and Kimberley Walsh sang their hearts out for their royal sovereign as well as several celebs in attendance, including One Direction, Kylie Minogue, and Alicia Keys.

We wish we’d been there!

Queen Elizabeth may approve of her grandson's wife, but seeing her on a Vogue cover? Not so much.

According to a palace insider, Kate Middleton knows very well that Her Majesty would find nothing amusing about the Duchess dressing up in couture just so Anna Wintour could

If you hear the sound of an ego inflating this morning, no worries, it's just Simon Cowell.

Simon, by order of the Queen, will be receiving knighthood next month. He was recommended to be put on the Queen's Birthday Honours list by former prime minster Gordon Brown, who sited the music mogul's numerous charity ventures and his contributions to the British recording industry.

Brilliant! Congrats!

Oh wow!

A bold move, even for her!!

Madonna is directing her second film, W.E. - which involves the 1936 scandal involving Edward VIII and the twice-divorced American socialite Wallis Simpson - and has written to the Queen of England for permission to shoot on location on Royal grounds!

One of Madge's associates says in a statement:

"Madonna is keen to make the film as authentic as possible and would be very grateful if we are allowed to film at certain locations. She loves the UK and holds your Queen in the highest regard."

Girlfriend probably shouldn't hold her breath, though.

A royal courtier says:

"I can't imagine that Her Majesty would make an exception, particularly for a film about Wallis Simpson."

Eh. Worth a shot, right??

Best of luck, Madge!!
