The Debate About ‘Slut Clothes,’ Formichetti Moves On From Mugler, and Dressing Like the Women of Mad Men

by

What’s In A Word? We take issue with T Magazine’s dismissal of “slut clothes” and take a look back at decades of so-called “slut style.”

And Speaking of “Slut Clothes”: That dress that Julia Roberts wore as Vivian in Pretty Woman is hot stuff, with Emma Watson donning the look on the latest issue of British GQ and versions of the dress selling out fast.

Look Fresh-Off-The-Runway for Prom! We pick out prom-perfect dresses inspired by looks fresh off the Spring 2013 runways. And the best thing? They won’t break the bank.

I Spy With My Fashion Eye… A Rip-Off! Satirical blog Humor Chic’s “No Fakes” campaign suggests Raf Simons and Miuccia Prada may have been a little too inspired by some vintage designs.

10 Looks Inspired By This Weekend’s Royal Polo Match (Or What to Wear to Impress HRH Prince Henry of Wales)

by

This Sunday, the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic returns to Governor’s Island, and marks the return of Prince Harry to NYC. The match benefits (in our opinion) the hotter Prince’s charity, the American Friends of Sentebale, which provides aid for orphans and at-risk youth in Lesotho. He’ll play against polo-playing Polo model Nacho Figueras. Yum.

So we got inspired by the idea of dressing for a fancy polo match. (If only we could look as good as Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman…) Here are our top ten polo-perfect picks.

Get Inspired: Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman

by

Last week was long, so I was pretty exhausted–and pretty lame–on Friday night. After a quick double date in the city and a stop off at Old Navy to buy my other half some cheap golf clothes, I landed on the couch at 10pm, ready to pass out.

Of course, cable sucked me in–and out of a lovely lull. Pretty Woman, one of my all-time favorite movies, was on. So I decided to commit to watching the entire thing.

What I realized, as Vivian stomped divots at the polo match, was that I had inadvertently replicated her wardrobe in my own closet. Here’s what I found on my own hangers–and around the Internet.

(Sadly, nothing modern comes even close to matching that red dress in beauty or style.)

Lancôme’s Pretty Woman: Julia Roberts

by

In the beauty world, this is definitely a huge coup. Lancôme has just signed Julia Roberts as a “global ambassadress.” No matter what you think of her movies of late, there is no doubt about the bankability of Ms. Roberts. And we are well aware of how desperately every cosmetics brand on the planet has Read more →

Lea Journo Launches Products

by

Hairstylist Lea Journo’s salon inside the Beverly Wilshire (yes, that would be the Reg Bev Wil) looks way groovier than you would expect for the old school ritzy hotel. I first met Lea when I was writing a story about her for the now (sadly!) defunct Vitals and I instantly adored her. She’s Parisian and Read more →

Hats On

We find ourselves sitting here pondering: what would Vivian do? Yes, that would be the Vivian played by Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. You see, we’ve now actually been invited to the Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic which we already imagined like a scene out of the the movie. You may also remember us swooning Read more →
