What It’s Like to Do Makeup For Tina Fey, Source Vintage For Boardwalk Empire and Design Costumes For Wes Anderson

by

Last Night, we attended what must be one of the most laid back awards ceremonies in the entertainment biz: New York Women in Film & Television’s Designing Women event, which honors women (and one man) excelling in their (often under-appreciated) fields doing hair, makeup and costumes for films and TV shows.

Tina Fey, who looked INCREDIBLE, was especially appreciative of her makeup team on 30 Rock: Jenn Jorge Nelson and Julie Teel.

Will the Real DVF Please Stand Up?

by

We’re endlessly fascinated with the meeting of “real,” “reality” and “fashion” on television these days, and the way it endlessly fascinates us despite our constant stream of questions and concerns. Like: 1. Doesn’t Diane von Furstenberg (as in, the real DVF, not some character of herself she plays on MTV) care that the entire world Read more →

Cuteness Confirmed for HOS

by

We can’t imagine how she’s had the time between walking back-to-back shows in New York, London, Milan, and probably now Paris. (We bet Coco‘s been giving her tips.)
