What the Nominees Should Wear To the Golden Globes: Our Picks

The Golden Globes kick off the Awards Season this Sunday and while most of you try to predict the winners, we’ve decided to try and predict what the evening’s most fashionable nominees might wear.

A myriad of red carpet-worthy dresses walked the runway last season (and before that, couture), so we had a lot to wade through. Not that it wasn’t fun–who wouldn’t want to pretend-dress ladies like Anne Hathaway, Michelle Dockery and Sienna Miller?

Click through to see what we think these ladies might wear on the big day.

Fashion News Roundup: Mantyhose Are a Thing, Jourdan Dunn Says Kanye West’s Shoes Got ‘Fixed’, and the New Fall Chanel Nail Color Is Revealed

Mantyhose Exist: Men in tights exist outside the Sherwood Forest! In fact, hosiery retailer Emilio Cavallini told WWD that purchases by men (for themselves) now account for 2-3% of annual sales – and he’s now making unisex tights. While most men wear their mantyhose as a thin, long-underwear layer, some Euro style-setters have been seen wearing them under shorts as, well, tights. Hey, if J.Lo can wear a jock cup… {NY Mag}

Jourdan Dunn Says Kanye West’s Shoes Were “Fixed”: Despite all the worry surrounding Kanye West’s impossible-sounding shoes this season, it seems to have all worked out. Model Jourdan Dunn told Fashion Bomb Daily at the show’s after party that the towering stilettos “were actually ok! They fixed them!” No details on what was exactly “fixed” about the shoes… but for the models’ (and every potential future retailer’s) sake, we’re glad to hear it! {Fashion Bomb Daily}

Sienna Miller Talks Pregnancy to Vogue UK: Practically perfect pregnant person Sienna Miller looks extremely happy on the cover of Vogue UK‘s April issue (fully clothed, mind you!) and talks about her “bump” for the first time. The generally private style-maven says she’s “under strict instruction” not to say too much about the whole thing though, but I think we can all assume that there will be a (well-dressed) baby in the end. {Vogue UK}

Twenty8Twelve Fall 2012: Keeping Calm and Carrying On, Miller-less

Twenty8Twelve Fall 2012: Keeping Calm and Carrying On, Miller-less

LONDON–Twenty8Twelve’s head designer, Elsa Elphick, is probably absolutely sick of people asking her about Savannah and Sienna Miller leaving the brand. They held a presentation over the weekend to showcase the new collection and a fashion film called “Faceless Featured Future.” Faceless future, indeed–at least a famous faceless future. So let’s get that part out of the way first.

I asked Elphick what has changed since the Miller sisters left, and she told me, “For us it hasn’t massively changed.” Hmm. So how much involvement did they actually have? Elphick assured me that she worked very closely with Savannah, but that now she would be making design decisions rather than have them made for her. When I asked if the Millers leaving would hurt the image of the brand, a member of Twenty8Twelve’s team jumped in.

Last Night’s Party: Fashion Week Comes to a Bizarre Close With Guns N’ Roses, Justin Timberlake, Sienna Miller and More

Never saw this one coming but it really happened: Axl Rose and his recreated Guns N’ Roses sounded the closing bell of New York Fashion Week. Needless to say, the hodgepodge of ridiculousness that ensued surpassed all of our prior expectations, and it’s worth noting that the original bar was set rather high. Though when Read more →

Fashion News Roundup: Kate Middleton Wore a Coat Dress from an Out-of-Business Brand, Andrej Pejic Models a Bandage Bathing Suit, and Liv Tyler Will Sing INXS for Givenchy

Sex and the City Perfume Exists: And it is the fragrance most confiscated by customs officers. Of 138 commercial perfume shipments the Customs and Border Protection’s Intellectual Property Rights “National Targeting and Analysis Group” monitored in Los Angeles, 52 were busted for the phony SATC scent. Who knew? {WWD subscription required}

Andrej Pejic Was on a Roof in New York: The gorgeous model was spotted shooting with photographer Sebastien Micke for an unknown project. One of the outfits is a very skimpy bandage-style bathing suit. So stunning that it makes us want to stop complaining about having small boobs. {Telegraph UK}

Liv Tyler to Sing INXS Song for Givenchy: The actress will do a sultry rendition of ’80s rock band INXS’s “Need You Tonight,” for the launch of the Very Irrésistible Givenchy Electric Rose fragrance. {WWD subscription required}

Fashion News Roundup: The Cost of a Red Carpet Moment, Cathy Horyn on Award Season Style, and Elizabeth Olsen Covers ASOS

The Cost of a Red Carpet Moment: Every celebrity dreams of making a best-dressed list, but how much does it cost? NY Mag breaks down Charlize Theron’s Golden Globe look, from makeup to the gown. The results are pretty incredible. {New York}

Why Cathy Horyn Should Be a Stylist: Horyn says that the whole red carpet process mystifies her and states she would tell an actress to wear “something chic but completely under the radar,” like Yohji Yamamoto. While she thinks this would make her a terrible stylist, a little more risk on the red carpet wouldn’t kill anyone. {The Cut}

Elizabeth Olsen Wears Sisters’ Line to Cover ASOS Magazine: In a somewhat meta-move, the latest Olsen style-star sports an Elizabeth and James blouse on the cover of ASOS. Indie’s newest darling looks ready for spring in the spread shot at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. She talks about Woody Allen, and of course, her famous twin sisters. {FabSugar}

NFL Star Wants to Attend NYFW: There’s got to be a good “catwalk” joke in here somewhere. Infamous Philadelphia Eagle Michael Vick has apparently been requesting Fashion Week invites. We’re guessing he won’t be spotted front row anytime soon, as one source says they are “curious who will have him.” {NY Post}

Sienna and Savannah Miller Are Leaving Twenty8Twelve; Will the Brand Survive Without Them?

Sienna and Savannah Miller Are Leaving Twenty8Twelve; Will the Brand Survive Without Them?

Twenty8Twelve, which launched six years ago, was one of the early celebrity clothing line success stories. Actress Sienna Miller launched the line with her professional clothing designer sister Savannah and the two have put out several solid collections of cute, wearable clothes. We were fans, which is why we were bummed and surprised to hear this morning that the Miller sisters are parting with the line.

The news is surprising considering the brand is still doing well. According to WWD, the Millers will “pursue other ventures” (a new BeachMint brand perhaps?) while the brand will continue on under the current design team as Twenty8Twelve London. Huh?

Fashion News Roundup: Lady Gaga Covers L’Uomo Vogue, Kate Middleton is Having an ’80s Themed Party, and Sienna Miller is Probably Pregnant

Lady Gaga Shows Her Boobs For L’Uomo Vogue: Lady Gaga channels her half-robot self (or is it from the same shoot?) from the “You and I” video in her cover story for the latest issue of L’Uomo Vogue. The editorial was styled by Nicola Formichetti and shot by Inez and Vinoodh. In it, Gaga does a lot of boob-grabbing and one of ‘em eventually pops out. {Nicolaformichetti.com}

Australian Designers Will Show Fall Collections in NYC: Australian fashion designers Christopher Esber, Fernando Frisoni, Kym Ellery, Magdalena Velevska, and Michael Lo Sordo will bring their fall collections to NYC later this month for the new Australian Five initiative, as part of G’Day USA (cute), which showcases Australian business in the US. Currently it’s the middle of summer Down Under – so are these designs for our current fall/winter? Or their upcoming season? It sure gives a new meaning to ‘timeless fashion’! {WWD}

Famous People with Lana Del Rey’s Lips: While the ‘Gangster Nancy Sinatra’ and new Next model denies she’s had any work done (right), that pucker has sure garnered the Internet’s attention, and perhaps even inspired some celeb copy-cats. George Clooney looks extra kissable, don’t you agree? {People with Lana Del Rey Lips}
