The music industry hit the red blue carpet last night in Las Vegas for the Billboard Music Awards. We suspect the location may have affected many stars’ choice of outfits, because there were a whole lot of sheer and slashed looks–not to mention a serious lack of pants. Also side ass is back! Thanks Ke$ha!
Yesterday David Beckham announced he was retiring from soccer. Since he hit the scene in the mid-Nineties, he’s been wowing fans with his moves…and his hair.
Rooney Mara may have had a reluctant relationship with fashion in the past (she once said, “I didn’t try to be a style icon. I’m just not that interested in that world.”), but now she seems to have fully embraced it. First came her stint as the 2013 Met Gala co-host, and now she’s just landed her first ever high-profile campaign.
The John Galliano comeback machine seems to be steadily in motion, despite the fact that his Parsons teaching gig fell through. The disgraced designer reportedly has a Vanity Fair interview in the works, and now we’re hearing reports that he may be hitting the small screen for a TV interview.
Despite the fact that Gwyneth Paltrow was totally miserable at the Met Gala and is never going back, she featured it on this week’s edition of goop.
In what may be a clue as to why she had such a horrible time, there is a big frosty dirty martini featured in one of the behind-the-scenes shots. Hard liquor, plus a long sleeved gown and a hot room, plus probably not eating anything before she hit the red carpet, could definitely equal misery. And we know how Gwyneth feels about martinis…
If you follow model Chrissy Teigen on Twitter or Instagram, you know she’s hilarious, unfiltered, sassy, and sometimes controversial (just last night she got into a row with followers about “slut shaming”). I can tell you that she’s exactly the same in person.
At this point you’ve no doubt read countless articles about how you should douse yourself with sunscreen–not only will it help prevent skin cancer but it will also prevent you from looking like a chewed up piece of leather in 20 years.
The problem is that it’s a big hassle–it takes a long time to apply correctly and a lot of the formulations out there are thick, chalky and difficult to blend in.
Thanks to two new innovative launches, sunscreen is way less annoying. We tried ‘em out.
Did someone try to make her eat bread?
The Great Gatsby finally opened this weekend, and did a pretty boffo box office (although it got some mixed reviews). But no matter what you thought about the film overall, no one can argue it wasn’t visually stunning. The combination of sets, costumes, hair and makeup all made for a gorgeous two and a half hours.
We already spoke in depth with costume and set designer Catherine Martin, but we wanted to hear all about the film’s incredible 1920s hair styles too. Kerry Warn, the film’s hair designer, was on-hand to answer all our burning questions. Read on.
Even Rihanna has fat days, apparently. And she designed parts of her second collection for UK high street brand River Island with fat days in mind. To which we say, thanks Rih. The rest of the collection looks pretty cute too.
The costumes in Baz Luhrmann’s Great Gatsby (which finally opens today) are gorgeous confections with an over-the-top 1920s sensibility. In almost every scene, those outfits are topped off with headbands, headwraps, or barrettes–and we were absolutely captivated by the look. (Downton Abbey and the recent spring couture shows have also recently showcased some amazing ’20s style head gear.)
The good news is that you can totally work this trend without looking like Daisy Buchanan’s BFF or the fourth sister from Downton Abbey. Trust us (and experts headpiece makers like Eugenia Kim and Jennifer Behr).
