We Investigate: The Curious Case of the Ageless Supermodels From the ’90s

by

When Claudia Schiffer’s Guess ads dropped yesterday we literally had trouble deciphering between the current ones and the ones from 1989. I mean, the woman has not aged a day! In 23 years! Then today, Christy Turlington goes ahead and shows up on Tatler also preternaturally unchanged.

This got us thinking about all our favorite 90s supermodels–Naomi, Cindy, Elle, etc.,–whose modeling careers are still kicking, well into their forties. And it’s not hard to see why: The ladies are as gorgeous as they were twenty years ago. And there’s nary a boob that has dropped even an inch. Don’t believe us? Click through the gallery below for a side-by-side comparison of some of our favorite supermodels today–and way back when.

Why NBC’s Fashion Star May Be a Fashion Reality Show Game Changer

by

NBC’s new fashion reality show Fashion Star, which debuts tonight, might just be the very first one to leave contestants with an actual successful career path and some cash. In general, these programs don’t have a great track record of producing designers and models that actually become successful or commercially viable. Not to mention, there Read more →

6 Red Carpet Hair Trends and How to Get Them

by

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?

A Look at All the Stars Over 45 Who Stole the Red Carpet at Last Night’s Golden Globes

by

From Diane Lane, to Elle MacPherson to Jane Fonda (seriously, how does she look like that at 74?) last night’s red carpet was owned by the 45+ crowd. And might we say it was a refreshing (and inspiring!) change. Click through to see our favorite looks, from some of our favorite ladies.

Only one question remains: How in the world are they doing it? Is it something in the water? A Death Becomes Her elixir? Benjamin Button disease? Or just lots of money and great plastic surgery? Whatever it is, they’re doing it right.

Poll: Helen Mirren Beats Out Jennifer Lopez and Pippa Middleton for ‘Body of the Year’

Poll: Helen Mirren Beats Out Jennifer Lopez and Pippa Middleton for ‘Body of the Year’

by

66-year-old Helen Mirren is already an Oscar winner and a Dame, but she has just earned herself another coveted title: Best Body of the Year.

The LA Fitness health club chain polled over 2,000 people and Mirren beat out such svelte starlets and models as Jennifer Lopez, Elle ‘The Body’ Macpherson, Kelly Brook and Pippa Middleton for the title, the Daily News is reporting. (Don’t worry Pippa got the consolation title “Rear of the Year.”)

When Mirren was snapped in a bikini three years ago, jaws dropped around the world (if you search Helen Mirren in Google, bikini pops up first next to her name–it’s oustered Caligula). That photo undoubtedly has a lot to do with Mirren’s win. She earned 17.7% of the votes while MacPherson came in second with 10.6% percent of votes.

Jessica Simpson to Mentor Fashion Hopefuls on NBC’s Fashion Star

by

Jessica Simpson is nothing if not a contradiction. Jessica, who started her foray into fame as a singer, became a household name when she was featured on reality show Newlyweds with Nick Lachey; their union famously ended in divorce. While her music career never quite found its footing again, she quietly spawned a fashion empire–despite frequent skewerings in the media for questionable fashion choices (mom jeans!).

Reality TV seems to be her niche now, having just wrapped up Jessica Simpson’s the Price of Beauty, a direct reaction to the mom jean backlash. Then she showed up as a guest judge on the season finale of Project Runway, which proved to be a harbinger of things to come–Jessica Simpson wants to be taken seriously in fashion. Does her billion dollar clothing and accessories empire give her fashion cred finally?

The Icing on the Curvy Cake at Louis Vuitton

by Britt Aboutaleb

‘Fairytale’ is the word everyone used while walking out of the Louis Vuitton show this afternoon. As if Marc‘s New York show didn’t leave us feeling romantic enough, he outdid himself in Paris. A tent was built around a fountain in the Louvre’s courtyard; the audience sat in a ring around it. The music began Read more →
