It’s not even March yet and here in New York we’re already getting two kinds of April showers: The kind that is water falling out of the sky, as well as a downpour of noteworthy celebs on fashion magazine covers. April looks to be eclipsing March with big cover stars like Jennifer Lopez on V‘s Read more →
The Other Missing Model: Though we all miss Karlie, many have been surprised this season at the lack of Abbey Lee Kershaw on the runways. Turns out she’s having knee surgery tomorrow (ouch!). The model has been plagued with knee issues for years, and we certainly wish her a speedy recovery. But there’s also a rumor she’s working on the next Spielberg film – something her New York Agency Next Model Management did not confirm or deny. {Frockwriter}
Ferragamo Partners with the Louvre: The Italian brand has announced that it will be the exclusive sponsor of the upcoming exhibit “Saint Anne, Leonardo da Vinci’s Ultimate Masterpiece,” running from March 29 to June 25 at the Louvre. In an historic move, Ferragamo will show Resort on June 12 in the Denon wing, the first time the Louvre has allowed a fashion show within the museum itself. Chairman Ferruccio Ferragamo considers the sponsorship “a great honor.” {WWD}
Angelina’s Face Covers Vogue Turkey: She’s not just a pretty (and hilarious) leg. Jolie looks fantastic on the cover of this month’s Turkish edition of Vogue, reminding everyone that her face is just as worthy of attention as her gams. {ONTD}
We’re not sure if it was to ensure that we all knew about the big slit on the right side of her dress, distract us from how skinny she is or make her Versace gown look like more than a big blob of black fabric, but Angelina Jolie spent all of Oscar night deliberately sticking Read more →
It was a long evening of red carpet analysis last night, but some actresses made it worth the wait. From Gwyneth in that fall 2012 Tom Ford white cape ensemble to Jessica Chastain in regal McQueen, we’re happy some ladies took risks. While we had plenty of opinions about everyone on the runway, following along Read more →
It’s hard to believe, but the granddaddy of all red carpet events – THE ACADEMY AWARDS! – is only two days away. Can you tell we’re excited? Really, we are. Obviously, our favorite part of the entire evening is the arrivals: Who’s there, and more importantly, who they’re wearing. Above all, we want to see who’s bold enough to take the fashion risks – because those are the dresses we’ll be talking about the next morning. And those who really make a mark could end up on a list like this one in twenty years time!
Behold, our choices for the fifteen riskiest red carpet Oscar looks of all time. Some are great, some… not so much. But the best ones are an amazing combination of both. Read on as we take a look back at some of the most fashionably daring dames on Hollywood’s biggest night.
We’ve always thought of the 1940s as being a rather destitute time in American history thanks to the second World War, but not in Jenny Packham’s dreamy world—she prefers to remember that era as the heyday of the vampy femme fatale, which is why it makes perfect sense that Forties-fanatic Dita Von Teese was front and center at yesterday’s catwalk show (dressed in a chic fall 2012 Packham cocktail dress to boot).
And after previewing her fall 2012 offering (you can watch it too, here), it’s no wonder that today’s screen sirens (like Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lopez, Kate Beckinsale) and fashion’s favorite royal (the Duchess of Cambridge) often call on Packham to dress them in her stunning creations for their official red carpet appearances.
There were some really memorable dresses on the red carpet at the SAG Awards last night, and we finally saw some risk-taking. Rose Byrne was amazing in her Elie Saab jumpsuit and Anna Wintour hair. And Emily Blunt made bright, almost neon green, look fresh and classy. Zoe Saldana arguably looked better than the model in her less-than-a-week-old Givenchy couture gown (and good choice to skip the nose ring). And it seems like Angelina Jolie is incapable of making bad red carpet choices. Our only question: Where was Rooney Mara last night? Does she not have a SAG card yet?

We look forward to the couture collections for so many reasons–the pure fantasy of it all, the exquisite details, and of course, the often equally as fantastical beauty looks. We’ve already broken down the gorgeous looks at Chanel (left), but here’s a look at the rest of the collections. From elaborate hair accessories to full-face makeup, click through for our favorite beauty looks from the spring 2012 couture collections.
We’re right smack in the middle of awards season, with the Golden Globes safely behind us. While there are still a lot of big red carpets to look forward to in February–like the Grammys, the Oscars, and the BAFTAs–a few early contenders for strong red carpet hair trends have emerged. And unlike those complicated braids and tortured updos of previous years, a lot of these are looks that regular people can achieve in the comfort of their own homes without needing five stylists at your beck and call.
From Rooney Mara to Meryl Streep, click through to see the six hair trends we’ve spotted so far–plus a few tips for getting the various looks. Will these trends have staying power over the next few red carpets?
