Emma Watson Attending Oxford: Apparently, Brown just didn’t do much for the superstar. No worries, she’s not dropping out- just doing her junior year abroad…in her home country. {Vogue UK}
Olivia Palermo is the Cover Girl of the Summer: The former “Elle accessories editor” (read: reality TV star) is now taking over the newsstands in a new way. She’s covering three different magazines this summer, looking unsurprisingly drop-dead gorgeous on each one. Love her or hate her, this girl has got some serious style. {MTV Style}
Kirsten Dunst Models in Another Friend’s Look Book: Opening Ceremony just posted the look book for their collaboration with Reyn Spooner, known for his Hawaiin print shirts. It stars Jonathan Rice, Jenny Lewis and Kirsten Dunst all looking very cute. Kirsten’s boyfriend Jason Boesel shot it. Hopefully Scott Sternberg isn’t too jealous. Also, we guess hipsters wearing Hawaiian prints is going to be a thing. {Opening Ceremony}
It’s good to be a celebrity. One of the many perks that comes along with the job, if you’re a hot young A-lister, is the opportunity to wear just about any runway or couture look that you or your stylist likes. And when you’re celebrity of that caliber, the world’s top designers will do just about anything to dress you–including altering their runway creations to your liking. Recall, if you will, that episode of the Rachel Zoe Project when the stylist musters up the courage to ask the Kaiser himself to alter one of his couture creations for Cameron Diaz to make it appeal more to the American masses.
With Cannes, the Met Ball, and the Oscars in recent memory, we’ve compiled a slideshow of starlets who wore looks right off the runway, with some minor changes made. The question is, which do you like better: The original runway versions more or the alterations made to please the stars?

Cannes continues to provide more great looks to fill our best dressed posts. This week Milla Jovovich and Zoe Saldana made candy cane stripes look chic, Milla in custom Prada and Zoe in Armani Prive. Bar Rafaeli, post split from Leo Dio, certainly knows that looking good is the best revenge, as evidenced here in this skin tight Cavalli (it was backless, too). Gwen Stefani caught disco fever in a shimmering jump suit by Stella McCartney with a plunging neckline and Kirsten Dunst looked demure in blush-toned Chanel.

This week’s best-dressed list is very…well…blond.
LONDON–Mulberry left the enchanted countryside set from the show in place for its after-party at Claridges. Guests Kirsten Dunst and Clemence Poesy sipped organic cider and noshed on mini toad in the hole, while other attendees posed for snaps in Fantastic Mr. Fox animal masks. As for us? All about the dance floor, baby.

LONDON–The Claridges ballroom was filled to the brim this morning with editors taking in Mulberry‘s charming-as-usual Fall 2011 show. We were seated in sections delegated by animal–the owl, the porcupine, the bunny–and kitted out with stickers, a fox mask, and a new Mulberry tote bag. Waiters were passing out mini cakes and purple soda. It was kind of like being at a very fancy film showing.

With every season comes a new pile of Polaroids from Boy and Band of Outsiders, featuring some perfectly cool girl and guy like Michelle Williams and Jason Schwartzman. This season, it’s Kirsten Dunst for Boy and James Marsden for Band of Outsiders. In an exclusive first look, designer Scott Sternberg tells us why he hearts Kirsten as much as we do, and why he chooses actors over models for his campaigns.
