Rooney Mara came out of hiding, looking smart and sexy in a frock from Calvin Klein’s spring ’13 collection. Also looking elegantly edgy was Cate Blanchett in Peter Pilotto. Meanwhile, Felicity Jones and Elle Fanning went for sweeter, softer looks at the British Independent Film Awards.

Ann Romney Gets No Fashion Love: Outspoken Democrat Diane von Furstenberg admitted that she’s “not sure” how Anne Romney obtained one of her dresses to wear to a rally, and the fashion PR establishment has been pretty silent on the First Lady hopeful’s outfit choices. Why won’t the fashion industry embrace Anne Romney?

For its November issue, W is celebrating its 40th anniversary with four special oversized covers–each of which pays tribute to one decade in the magazine’s history.
Shot by Steven Meisel and styled by Edward Enninful, the covers and corresponding editorial feature Rooney Mara, Mia Wasikowska, Scarlett Johansson, and Keira Knightley all made up to look like they just stepped out of the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s and Aughts, respectively.

When Victoria Beckham tweeted a photo of a pile of hair with the caption, “Chopped it off! X vb,” fans went crazy wondering what her new ‘do looked like. They didn’t have to wait long. Photogs caught Beckham out and about, revealing her new long bob, which just might officially be the hottest hairstyle in Hollywood right now.
Victoria’s chop had us thinking about other celebrities who caused a frenzy with just a snip of their hair. From Jennifer Anniston’s brief break from her surfer-girl tresses, to Rooney Mara’s total 180, we rounded up 10 of our favorites – and one that we wish would grow out already.

It was a long evening of red carpet analysis last night, but some actresses made it worth the wait. From Gwyneth in that fall 2012 Tom Ford white cape ensemble to Jessica Chastain in regal McQueen, we’re happy some ladies took risks. While we had plenty of opinions about everyone on the runway, following along Read more →
The relationship between fashion and film is a bit incestuous. Fashion on the red carpet is always (always) a hot topic, actors are not only starring in campaigns (has anyone seen Edward Norton for Prada yet?) but walking down the runways–and then, of course, there’s the fashion that actually appears in films. So we are less than shocked when designers are inspired by Hollywood (or vice versa).
To wit, the roaring 20s were paraded down more than a few catwalks during the spring 2012 shows, and even a few pre-fall outings, proving that this inspirational era was not just an isolated incident. While this may disappoint some critics, the style remains, and it does raise the question–did the releases (looming or otherwise) of period pieces like W.E. and The Great Gatsby inspire this turn towards the flapper, or would designers have found themselves inspired by the decade anyway? To be honest, the question hardly seems the point considering how fashion and film are practically bed buddies.
The jazz age isn’t the only recent evidence of this symbiotic relationship. Consider The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, or even My Week With Marilyn. Or just let us. With the Oscars upon us tonight, we thought it was a good time to look back and the films inspiring fashion now.
While Oscar nominees probably start preparing their outfits the day they’re nominated, we pulled some dress options straight from the Fall 2012 collections just in case any nominees have been procrastinating.
Luckily for us, tons of gorgeous, Oscar-worthy dresses hit the runway for Fall 2012, from some moody options at Gucci to slinky and sexy looks from Michael Kors, Prabal Gurung, and Zac Posen. Oh, and there’s Marchesa of course.
Click through our gallery to see what dresses we’d love to see on Rooney Mara, Jessica Chastain, Meryl Streep, and all the other nominees. And be sure to tune in to the Academy Awards red carpet Sunday night to see what the nominees actually wear. You know we’ll have lots of thoughts on those come Monday morning…
Francisco Costa, the king of minimalism, went a more maximalist route for Calvin Klein’s Fall 2012 collection. Opting for cinched waists and voluminous skirts, Costa created a collection that transformed a 50′s silhouette into a more modern option, using darts, peplums, and lots of leather. There was tons of black, perfect for Rooney Mara who Read more →
Wes Gordon is another one of those designers who has grown substantially since showing his first collection just three seasons ago, both in his skill as a designer and the attention he’s getting. A testament to, and perhaps cause of that growth comes from Fashion Group International, who recently bestowed the prestigious Women’s Rising Star Read more →
