Oz the Great and Powerful Wardrobe Secrets: The Cast and Costume Designer Tell All

The first thing all of us thought upon seeing the first teaser for Oz the Great and Powerful late last year, was, “That movie’s going to have some amazing costumes.” And we were right.

On a recent trip to California to check out some HSN Oz merch, I also got to see the movie, fawn over some of the main characters’ costumes in person, go to a press conference with the actors and director, and chat with the film’s costume designer, Gary Jones.

Where Nerds and High Fashion Meet: The Best Dressed Celebs at Comic-Con

Comic-Con International wrapped yesterday, and since Hollywood keeps making blockbuster movies based on comics, and sequels based on those comics, and getting A-list stars to star in said movies, the fashion at Comic-Con has gotten pretty good. (Think: YSL and Dior over Princess Leia’s gold bikini). From Kristen Stewart to Jessica Biel and Michelle Williams, Read more →

Charlize Theron, Johnny Depp, Jennifer Aniston and More: The Best, Worst, and Weirdest Looks at the MTV Movie Awards

Last night’s MTV Movie Awards was a roller coaster of emotions and odd situations. There were inspirational happy tears (from Emma Stone, who collected the first-ever ‘Trailblazer’ award), awkward silences (c/o Kristen Stewart–who else?), juvenile penis and canine ass jokes (by host Russell Brant and presenter Andy Samberg, respectively), and even a physical threat towards Read more →

Check Out Marion Cotillard’s New Lady Dior Ad, Shot at the Communist Party Headquarters in Paris

If any of you were concerned that Mila Kunis had replaced Marion Cotillard as Dior handbag model, fear not. There’s room for the both of them (and fellow A-listers Natalie Portman and Charlize Theron–they obviously have a massive advertising budget) in Diorland. Here is the French actress looking glowy gorgeous as usual in the latest Read more →

Fashion News Roundup: Katy Perry Confuses Balmain for Hooker Gear, Mila Kunis is On a Boat for Dior, and Terry Richardson Shoots Colorful Commercials for Aldo

Katy Perry Makes a Funny at PFW: When asked about the revealing mini dress the Smurfette-tressed pop star donned recently in Paris, she replied, “It’s either Vegas hooker or Balmain.” And upon meeting Conde Nast chairman Jonathan Newhouse, Katy blurted out, “Newhouse– much better than old house!” Maybe the windows weren’t cracked quite enough during all those blue hair dying sessions, but we can’t say we mind the entertainment. {NY Mag}

Mila Kunis Shoots for Dior: Mila’s on a boat–or should we say, un bateau. The gorg actress and latest face of Dior was spotted looking tres chic as she shot a new campaign for the Parisian fashion house on La Seine. {Telegraph}

Alexa Chung Will Host Scottish Fashion Awards: Great Britain’s greatest Brit (fashion wise, anyway) is set to bring her quirky-cool brand of humor to the 7th annual Scottish Fashion Awards, in association with InStyle, this June. The awards celebrate the best of Scotch talent, and past honorees have included Christopher Kane, Holly Fulton, and Jonathan Saunders. Here’s hoping the program allows for multiple wardrobe changes for Alexa, a la Anne Hathaway at last year’s Oscars. {InStyle}

Are Today’s Lesser-Known Campaign Stars Alienating Brands’ Target Customers?

Are Today’s Lesser-Known Campaign Stars Alienating Brands’ Target Customers?

A new trend among many fashion and beauty brands, it seems, is to use young, pretty up-and-coming actresses in their ad campaigns rather than established movie stars. Some examples from the past couple of seasons include Felicity Jones at Dolce & Gabbana, Mila Kunis (who may be inching her way to movie stardom) at Dior, Emily Blunt at Yves Saint Laurent, Emma Stone at Revlon, Emma Watson at Burberry, Elle Fanning at Marc by Marc Jacobs and Hailee Steinfeld at Miu Miu.

While many critics have pointed the finger at Marc by Marc and Miu Miu for using girls who are too young to wear or afford the clothes they advertise, there’s another potential issue, which is that those brands’ target customers have no idea who these ladies are.
