From Grace Kelly to Angelina Jolie: The Most Memorable Red Carpet Moments at the Cannes Film Festival

The 65th Annual Cannes International Film Festival kicks off tomorrow, and of course we’re super excited to see what everyone will wear.

Not only does the festival offer a perfect blend of Hollywood glamour and French insouciance, but whether it’s the heat or the proximity to nude beaches, people tend to get pretty daring with their fashion choices. And it’s made for some pretty iconic red carpet moments over the years.

Fashion News Roundup: Lauren Conrad Covers Her New Beauty Book, Kim Kardashian Launches Her First ‘Luxury’ Fragrance, and Beyoncé Gets a Writing Award

Kim Kardashian is releasing her fourth fragrance, a “luxury” scent called True Reflection. A Lord & Taylor rep said the perfume will reach a more mature audience who can “share in Kim’s experiences in reflecting on what she’s gone through.” Right… {WWD subscription required}

Here’s the cover of LC’s new book– aptly titled Beauty– as well as shots from her summer lookbook for Kohl’s. {ONTD}

The Victoria and Albert Museum in London will open its “Ballgowns” exhibit in a fortnight (a term we might actually use if we were located anywhere remotely geographically close to attending this amazingness), which will include gowns worn by Beyoncé and Bianca Jagger. {Vogue UK}

Because Beyoncé is literally good at everything, now she’s getting a writing award. {HuffPo via ONTD}

Fashionista Week in Review: Coachella Trends that Should Die, the Best YouTube Beauty Tutorials, and Angelina Jolie (and Her Right Leg) Are Getting Married!
Week In Review

Fashionista Week in Review: Coachella Trends that Should Die, the Best YouTube Beauty Tutorials, and Angelina Jolie (and Her Right Leg) Are Getting Married!

Coachella Happened: Coachella kicked off last weekend (and wraps this weekend), and we promise to stop talking about it soon. From what the celebs wore, to what real people wore, to the trends we hope will fade faster than your tan we covered it all. It’s all in good fun – you know we love you! (But seriously, no more crochet.)

YouTube Makeup Gurus: We’ve all been there: we’ve spotted that perfect cat eye or been desperate to cover up that zit and wondered, “How can I do this?” Luckily, we live in the age of YouTube, where beauty gurus share their knowledge with just a click of a button. Here are 10 of the best tutorials.

Best Tressed Style Bloggers: Though these seven ladies are known better for their clothes than their locks, we think it’s all part of the same stylish parcel. We had to know how these bloggers style their enviable hair.

Finally, NYC’s Answer to Colette: Fashion fans dream of boutiques like Colette in Paris and Corso Como in Milan, so obviously we’re thrilled about FiveStory, NYC’s latest boutique that seeks to fill that niche. The best part? The brain behind the luxury boutique is 26-year old Claire Distenfeld–check out our interview with her.

Fashion News Roundup: Victoria Beckham Joins Facebook, Bar Rafaeli Gets Groped at the Airport, and Heidi Klum Talks Blow Jobs in Allure

Victoria Beckham Joins Facebook: To celebrate her 38th anniversaire, Poshypoo joined Facebook, ate a (presumably) low-cal fruit platter, and then proceeded to post about it on said FB account. Now David can finally tag his WAG in that lovely balls pic! {Facebook, NY Mag}

Jessica White is a Poet, OK? The model, who has been hard at work lately on her upcoming debut album, wants us to know that, first and foremost, she’s “a poet.” And when she’s modeling, she’s a “silent artist.” And when she’s writing, she’s “a bat.” And when her Ryan Leslie-produced record drops, people are “gonna get a big huge handful of how creative [she] really [is].” We can only hope that Ms. White’s album contains even more creative metaphors. {NY Mag}

Heidi Klum Strips Down for Allure: The freshly-single fräulein took it all off for Allure‘s May issue. In her cover story, Heidi reveals how she and her brood have been affected by her divorce drama with Seal and the reason she never did runway (except for Victoria’s Secret, obv.) Apparently, even fellow Project Runway judge Michael Kors once rejected her at a casting, saying “Thanks, but no thanks.” And her gay friends taught her everything she knows about giving blow jobs. Awkward turtle. {Fashion Etc, Jezebel}

Our Wedding Dress Suggestions for Angelina Jolie (And Her Right Leg)

Have you heard? Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are getting married! We’ve already seen the ring–sort of–so now it’s time to start the process called “Guess the Dress Designer.” (We’re going on the assumption here, which could be far-fetched, that she will actually have a proper wedding with a fancy dress, etc. She may just Read more →

Angelina Jolie Doesn’t Understand Why You Made Such a Big Deal Out of Her Right Leg

Remember Angelina Jolie’s right leg on Oscar night? Of course you do. She thrust it out of the thigh-high slit on her Versace gown all the way down the red carpet, and then on stage while presenting an award. It was so obviously weird that the winners of said award–the writers of The Descendants who won for best adapted screenplay–all mocked her immediately during their acceptance speech. Following the Oscars, Jolie’s right leg went viral, and spawned a Twitter account, countless Tumblrs, and fun games like Jolie legbombing–pasting Jolie’s right leg in a photo.

Jolie has finally addressed the phenomenon of her right leg, and in typically Jolie-fashion, she kind of makes you feel bad about yourself for even thinking it was a thing.

“I honestly didn’t pay attention to it,” she told the Huffington Post. “You know what I mean? I don’t watch those TV shows and if I go online and see something about myself, I don’t click on it. And the people I surround myself with don’t really talk about that kind of stuff. [Laughs]. I heard something, but I didn’t pay any attention. It’s as simple as being a woman picking a dress you like and having a night, and not really thinking about anything else.”

Right…

Here’s what we wish she would have said:
