The Toy Story Clothing Line You Didn’t Ask For: Pixar and Bossini, a Hong Kong based clothing company, have collaborated on a clothing line inspired by Toy Story. While you wouldn’t know it from looking at the pieces, the clothes are for men and women–not just children. As far as wearability, they should fit you just fine if you’re a pre-pubescent fifth grader. {Racked}

Last night we headed over to Carnegie Hall for a night of inspiration, heart-warming speeches and, most importantly, girl power. For those of you who don’t know, we are of course talking about Glamour‘s Women of the Year awards.
The annual event, which honors extraordinary women, this year doled out awards to the year’s standout stars–from the most talked about songstresses like Lea Michele and J.Lo to the visionaries who truly changed the world, such as Egypt’s “Facebook Girl” and Huffington Post founder Arianna Huffington, as well as legends like feminist Gloria Steinem.
While the there were too many wise words to count (Arianna Huffington reminding us that “failure is just a stepping stone to success,” Gloria Steinem assuring us that there is life after 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, “life is just one big surprise”) we’ve managed to at least narrow down the night’s best dressed. Though with ladies as remarkable as these, that too was a challenge. Click through to see the best dressed from the night.
Since Halloween falls on a Monday this year, a lot of parties were planned for this past weekend. Celebs, fashion people, and various reality TV riff-raff were all out in full force with their costumes blazing. From strippers to princesses, the costumes ran the gamut.
Oh, and of course there was Heidi Klum (left) who went as a…medical school cadaver? Anatomy drawing? Flaying victim? Klum told People her costume was called “visible woman” and described it as “kind of like a dead body with the first layer of skin ripped off…it’s basically like me naked.”

Anna Wintour has a history of popping up during New York Fashion Week with Vogue‘s next cover girl. And this past week the Vogue Editor in Chief certainly kept us guessing by holding court with both unlikely, and all-too likely cover subjects.
See who Anna was spotted with this week, and why we think each one could be the next cover.
The Cut just posted the full Fashion’s Night Out promo featuring the cast of Glee performing ‘Fashion.’ Highlights include Jane Lynch doing claw hands, Heather Morris’ dancing (we wish there were more!) and Lea Michele‘s sexy Balmain mini. Though we almost prefer Dianna Agron in Marc Jacobs and a short blond bob. Lowlights include that Lea Michele, who has a great set of pipes, somehow sounds way more Britney than Bowie. But no one can be like Bowie. And now this makes us crave Bowie.

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?

Mark Townsend has styled the locks of Maggie Gyllenhaal, Amy Adams, the Olsens, January Jones, Jessica Biel, and Cate Blanchett, to name just a few. So he knows red carpet hair.
Last night for the Golden Globes he styled Lea Michele (Glee) and Jennifer Lawrence (Winter’s Bone). I spoke to him shortly after his ladies walked the red carpet in an attempt to pry some secrets out of him.
Vogue’s June issue features Blake Lively, her second cover in two years. While Blake surely seems like a lovely girl, her style is all about showing off her hot body, and she’s most famous for acting in teen TV shows and movies, not exactly “modern American woman” material. The June issue is usually a slower Read more →
