We don’t know what it is about the Cannes film festival, but the star studded event always manages to produce the most glamorous red carpet year after year. (Okay, maybe we do know what it is: the palm trees, that French je ne sais quoi, every international celebrity you can think of…)

If Cannes has the most glamorous red carpet of the year, then the AmFar Gala, held annually during the film festival, is the ultra-ultra glam cherry on top. This year’s gala, held at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, saw A-listers like Jessica Chastain and Sharon Stone and models-of-the-moment Joan Smalls, Lily Donaldson and more, stomp the Read more →

Alexander Wang has girls’ bathroom privileges. At the Met Gala, Chanel Iman spilled on “the real party” that goes on in the ladies’ room where models, actresses, and Wang all take a bathroom break to catch up with each other. {New York Post}
Allison Williams says Christopher Abbott’s abrupt and show-changing exit from Girls will have “a huge effect…[on the character of] Marnie specifically.” And us! Don’t forget about us. {US Weekly}
Here comes the bride, all dressed in… red? A recent study has found that 24% of young brides are ditching white wedding dresses for brighter-colored frocks in red, pink, or blue. {Daily Mail}
It’s here! It’s here! The Met Ball red carpet is finally underway. So the fashion is great–though not exactly punk. According to Anna Wintour, though, her florals are punk, in a way: Andrew Bolton, the currator of the exhibit told her that pink was the real color of punk. Hence the color scheme. So there.

That the fashion industry, and particularly the modeling industry, is prejudice is not a question. That the industry is improving, however, is up for debate.
One might look at the black models who have ascended the ranks recently–girls like Jourdan Dunn, Chanel Iman, Joan Smalls–and say that the industry is moving towards a more diverse beauty standard. But the truth is that even those models, icons in the making, have had to struggle against racism and prejudice throughout their careers–something that Dunn opened up about to Net-a-Porter’s The Edit magazine, which she covers this week.
Today Vogue released an editorial from their February issue “celebrating Hurricane Sandy’s first responders.” In it, top models like Chanel Iman, Karlie Kloss and Liu Wen pose in looks by American designers (an Oscar de la Renta ballgown, a silk Donna Karan gown, a leather jacket from Proenza Schouler) next to Con-Ed employees, members of the National Guard, and the staff of the neonatal intensive care-unit at Bellevue hospital.
At first glance, the story made us feel a bit icky. Residents of New York and New Jersey are still suffering in Hurricane Sandy’s aftermath. Juxtaposing a beautiful young model in a thousand dollar designer dress against Con-Ed workers and nurses seems, well, somewhat off.
Kanye West’s leather Givenchy skirt may have stolen the show at last night’s 12/12/12 Sandy Relief concert, but there were plenty of other celebrity ensembles worth ogling, too.
From Katie Holme’s velvet Tom Ford number, to Kristen Stewart‘s neon running shorts and blouse, and Blake Lively‘s red leather Isabel Marant dress, celebrities hit some sartorial high notes–all in the name of charity, of course.

Between Anna Wintour’s epic fundraising efforts and several celeb-filled PSA-style videos, there’s no doubt that the fashion industry is becoming an increasingly powerful presence in politics today.
And now that election day is almost upon us, all of the industry’s best and brightest are taking to Twitter to remind us how very important it is that everyone votes tomorrow.
Like Andre Leaon Talley for example, who tweeted, “Make an effort to talk about nothing but getting out to vote for the next 72 hours. Vote Obama. Tell everyone you meet. It’s Obama.”
