We’re seeing redheads everywhere we look lately. Want in on the trend? Here’s how to go ginger–if you dare–with tips from Marie Robinson (Clairol’s Color Director) and Christophe Robin (L’Oreal Paris USA Color Director), as well as Sea of Shoes‘ Jane Aldridge (preeminent red-headed style star).
Since her premature death exactly fifty years ago today, Marilyn Monroe has been like the Bob Dylan of Hollywood: Every new starlet possessing either the curves, candor, or white-blonde locks is considered a contender to fill the void her untimely exit left behind. Few women have come close to filling Marilyn’s impossibly high heels–which were Read more →
It looks like those retro bodysuits from Prada’s spring 2012 collection are shaping up to be a popular magazine look. It’s not even February, and they’ve already made four glossy appearances–most recently on Daria Werbowy on the cover of Vogue Paris.

At the opening ceremony for the 64th annual Cannes Film Festival yesterday, stars turned out in high drama floor length finery. Rachel McAdams looked stunning in red and sheer Marchesa, so we forgive her that hat, and Uma Thurman (where has she been lately?) was gorgeous in a slightly altered white hot fall 2011 Versace.

We’ve become huge fans of the Hollywood Reporter over the last few months, mostly due to Janice Min’s excellent makeover of the trade publication. Staffer Merle Ginsberg navigates the LA fashion scene with an entertaining mix of gossip, insider news, and general knowledge that is not only rare for the West Coast, but rare for fashion writing in general.
So we were thrilled to see Ginsberg’s list of the 25 most powerful stylists in Hollywood covering this week’s issue. Rachel Zoe obviously ranks number one, with names like Nicole Chavez, Annabel Tollman, Brad Goreski, Leslie Fremar, and Kate Young rounding it out. See the full list below, and read the Zoe cover story here.
It’s red carpet season and stars are putting on their party dresses. Cecilia Dean looks amazing, as always, in white Givenchy while Rachel McAdams took some flack for her side boob-flaunting Suno but we kinda dug it. Carey Mulligan and Michelle Williams looked prim and party-perfect in ’50s silhouettes by Prada and Wren. And Cameron Read more →
Rachel McAdams walked the red carpet for the London premiere of “Morning Glory” yesterday. While the movie was meh, her sartorial choices for this event were anything but.
She’s taking a bit of a beating in the press today, which is typical for any actress who chooses a dress that is the slightest bit fashion-y and not made by Marchesa. However, while I always applaud risk taking and originality, did Rachel get in over her too-teased head this time?
The Dress: It’s a Suno S/S 2011 dress originally shown with a shirt underneath–a much more casual look. Rachel chose (or was convinced by her stylist) to wear it without the shirt. The proportion of the thin strips of fabric in the front compared to the fuller skirt just seems off and is reminding me a bit of the Borat mankini. But she looks completely comfortable and I’m certain that there was no danger of a wardrobe malfunction.
The Shoes: Purple satin Charlotte Olympia. Too heavy for the dress or a good contrast?
We’re sure the looks will be revealed on Entertainment Tonight or Access Hollywood either this evening or the next, but we decided to make predictions on who Allen Schwartz–the unofficial king of Adventures in Copyright–will make undeserved bank on this Oscars season. We say:
1. How is this THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE EVER if it just consists of PR judges promoting themselves? Shouldn’t the biggest challenge involve something that would take a little more effort to orchestrate? Like a collaboration with a non-PR related designer/publication/model? 2. Who knew there were so many rules for picking a cover outfit? (And we’re Read more →
