Madonna Maybe Copies Patricia Field, Kate Winslet Secretly Marries, and J. Crew’s $1,500 Bag

Did Madonna steal from Patricia Field? The “Vogue” hats being sold as merch on her MDNA tour look a little too familiar, according to Field’s camp. (Then again, Madonna did come up with the song. There’s also that magazine…) {Patricia Field Tumblr}

Fashionista Week in Review: The Sea of Shoes Controversy, How To Dress Like a Spice Girl Today and the Best Fashion Schools for Marketing, Journalism, and PR

Get Your Girl Power On: Nearly 15 years later, it is still all about the Spice Girls as a musical based on the group is in the works. Chances are good you’ve picked a favorite and stuck with her (Ginger!) and we put together a guide to recreating those infamous looks. We think it’s high time Union Jack motifs and platform boots made their comeback.

Hip Hop and High Fashion: Rappers and hip hop artists have never shied away from the fashion world, and with recent releases by Kanye West and Nicki Minaj, we’re reminded just how much our favorite MCs love their labels. Naturally, we had to put together a list of our top 10 favorite fashion-related rap lyrics.

Fashion U:Thinking about going to school for a fashion-related major? We did some research and put together our top 10 schools for industry jobs outside of design (think: PR, journalism, marketing, etc.,). Start working on that admissions essay!

ControverSea of Shoes: What started out as a local profile piece has turned into quite a storm over the Sea of Shoes. Blogger Jane Aldridge says the whole thing is “grossly exaggerated” and in need of serious fact-checking, but the author of the original profile is standing up for his piece.

Fashion Faceoff: The Style Evolution of Kate Winslet Vs. Leonardo DiCaprio

Titanic hits theaters tomorrow for the first time in about fifteen years–though this time the drama, action and the infamous iceberg will be bigger thanks to 3-D technology. But that’s not the only thing that’s grown–the film’s stars, Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio’s fame has also sky-rocketed since the movie first hit theaters. And according to Winslet, Leo has, um, grown in other ways as well. The English actress said of the film, “We do look very different, we’re older. Leo’s 37, I’m 36 – we were 21 and 22 when we made that film. You know, he’s fatter now – I’m thinner.” …You said it, Kate, not us!

Check out our round up of Leo and Kate through the years– through thick and thin, in both weight and fashion. Has Kate’s style stayed afloat, and did Leo’s sink with the ship? Click through to see what we think!

Fashion News Roundup: Kate Winslet Says Leonardo DiCaprio is ‘Fatter Now,’ Arizona Muse Has a Better Bod Post-Baby, And Anne V Split from Adam Levine

Another Rock Star/Model Couple Is Over: Turns out he will eventually leave this bed: model Anne Vyalitsyna and Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine have called it quits. “Adam and I have decided to separate in an amicable and supportive manner,” the Victoria’s Secret stunner says in a statement. Anne must have missed that crucial lesson of model/rockstar relationships: never make a music video with your boyfriend. It will live on as an awkward memento. (See: Stephanie Seymour in “November Rain.”) {People}

Arizona Muse Talks Motherhood and Modeling: Mom haircut be damned! Arizona Muse is still one of the hottest moms on the planet, and she talks to the Telegraph about the challenges faced by a young mother starting in the industry: travel, breastfeeding, and body bounce-back (try not to hate too hard when Muse says she prefers her post-baby bod!). Though she faced some serious challenges, it seems like Muse has found a good balance between high fashion and high chairs. {Telegraph UK}

Salma Hayek is Radiant on the Cover of Lucky: The gorgeous Latina star opens up to the mag about being fat, broken out, and unable to pay the rent after leaving her native Mexico to make it in Hollywood – hard to believe when you look at her in the accompanying spread! She also says husband François-Henri Pinault loves Hayek at her most natural: botox-free face, curves, wild-hair and all. To that we say, “Amen!”{Lucky}

Fashion News Roundup: Victoria Beckham Covers Harper’s Bazaar UK, Gaga Turns 26, and Mary Katrantzou is Considering Menswear

Victoria Beckham Covers Harpers UK: Queen Victoria (pre-lob pob cut) covers May’s Harper’s Bazaar UK looking flaw-free in that Prada bodysuit the fashion set just can’t seem to fold away. The glossy was the first to feature Vic on the cover as a serious fashion contender back in 2009, and apparently, the super soccer mom hasn’t been on a vacation alone with husband David since. A blessing and a curse… {Harper’s Bazaar UK}

What Does Your Handbag Says About You? Are you a canvas tote toting toots or a Hermes-carrying honey? Your bag of choice (or, well, budget allowance) says more about you than you might think. {Refinery29}

Happy Birthday Lady Gaga! She’s no longer a little Lady. Stefani Germanotta was born this way/day 26 years ago today! To celebrate, take a look back at some of her most fibbity fab fash mag spreads– there’ve been a lot. {FabSugar}

Mary Katrantzou Menswear Line: Is more Mary K menswear on the way? The it-designer known for her photorealist prints says it was a “happy accident” that she started designing for guys, after Henry Holland peeped a pic of Mary’s male friend donning one of her women’s blazers. There’s no official line yet, but Mary K’s not ruling it out for the future– and we can already see Kanye getting in on one of her fly floral get-ups. {Vogue UK}

Titanic Red Carpet Premiere Style, Then (1997) and Now

A lot’s changed since the 1997 premiere of Titanic: Kate Winslet won an Oscar (and went blonde), James Cameron made Avatar and Leonardo Dicaprio is no longer a baby-faced Jack Dawson (though he still has a thing for models).

Last night, a good part of the Titanic crew showed up to fete the world premiere of the film’s 3D release in London, and we couldn’t help but reminisce about the film’s first premiere and how much everyone had changed, especially Kate–something that Winslet herself agrees with. The actress told the Metro, “It is like being forced to go through a photo album of your former self for three and a half hours solidly.”

She added, “I haven’t seen the whole film in a very long time but it’s a whole different me and we look much younger and our acting was different, hopefully not as good as now.” Ditto for her personal style!

Click through to see side-by-side comparisons of Titanic‘s major players then, and now.

Our Picks for the Top 10 Best Dressed at the 2011 Emmy Awards

Watching last night’s award show, we laughed (thank you, Jane Lynch), we cried (Friday Night Light‘s Kyle Chandler tends to do that to us), but most of all we admired the show-stopping creatures that ruled the red carpet. Oh, and the actresses wearing them didn’t look too shabby either.

From Kate Winslet‘s fire-engine red gown (red on the red carpet was kind of a thing last night) to Gwyneth Paltrow‘s midriff-baring top (yes we know, what a show-off), check out our favorite red carpet looks from last night.

Kate Winslet and Jessica Alba Both Score Major Campaigns

A day without news of a celebrity fragrance, clothing line, or ambassador-dom is rare indeed, and today is no exception.

Kate Winslet follows in the footsteps of Gisele Bundchen, Angelina Jolie, and Karen Elson as the new face of St. John. She has been an “elegance” ambassador for Longines watches and is a long-time face for Lancôme. Her posh looks suit the brand perfectly, though someday we’d love to see someone a bit dirtier shake the brand up a bit. If you’re in New Jersey today, WWD reports that Craig McDean will be shooting the campaign there if you’d like to try and crash it. Look for the first ads to hit mags this September.
