Yesterday, Vanity Fair unveiled its yearly International Best Dressed List, one of the industry’s oldest and most respected. As usual, there were some choices we agreed with, some we didn’t, and some people whose absence from the list was hard to understand. Morley Safer over Emma Stone (or anyone over Emma Stone)? We’ll be scratching Read more →
It looks like Vanity Fair is going to have some sort of NYC tech power players feature in a forthcoming issue. Perhaps even a cover considering the number of people involved and the fact that VF tapped Annie Leibovitz to shoot it. Apparently Leibovitz and NYC-famous subjects including (a very pregnant) Lauren Santo Domingo, Mayor Read more →
A few weeks ago, WWD reported that Jessica Chastain had nabbed Vanity Fair‘s coveted September cover. Well, turns out it was only half right. Chastain is on the cover but so, too, is Kate Middleton, according to the magazine’s website.
It’s that time of year again. Nope, we don’t mean Comic Con–we’re talking about September glossy cover reveals. September issues are traditionally the cash cows for any fashion mag, and whoever graces the cover can make or break that month’s sales. Today WWD revealed a slew of covers–and we’ve added some reveals of our own.
Overall it’s not a very surprising list.
Less than a day after we (lightly!) poked fun at Kristen Stewart’s penchant for awkwardly pairing sneakers with formal dresses at red carpet events, here she is looking more gorgeous and feminine than we ever expected to see her. The Twilight star’s first solo Vanity Fair cover and the accompanying story are basically a big Read more →
Victoria Beckham, as we all know, got her start as Posh Spice, the unsmiling, cold-staring, always serious, but always chic ice queen. (Of course, all of the Spice Girls were often tongue-in-cheek about their personas.) Not that we didn’t love her then, but it’s been refreshing to see her crack a smile and a good Read more →
The Tribeca Film Festival kicked off last night in New York and it brought out a pretty chic red carpet. The party was held at the State Supreme Courthouse (a place where we’re sure none of the attendees ever want to be photographed during the day…anyway). The spring fashion was out in full force with Read more →
Former Urban Outfitters CEO Took a Pile of Cash When He Left: Glen Senk left Urban Outfitters without collecting his bonus, but he definitely didn’t walk away empty-handed. Along with his $942,000 salary, WWD reports that Senk received a “$5,000 bonus, $3,000 in other compensation and $1.6 million in option awards.” {WWD subscription required}
Franca Sozzani Talks Anorexia and Fashion at Harvard: The editrix talked to Harvard students about the unfortunate role fashion plays in promoting the ideal of extreme thinness, and how it contributes to the anorexia epidemic seen in young women (and men) in several first-world societies. She says, “Why the age of supermodels, who were beautiful and womanly, slowly started decreasing and we now have still undeveloped adolescents with no sign of curves? Why is this considered beautiful?” Franca failed, however, to comment on the fact that these same “undeveloped adolescents” are prominently featured in her magazine from month to month. {Vogue.it}
Claire Danes, Sofia Vergara, Michelle Dockery and Julianna Margulies Are Naked in Bed on Vanity Fair: Vanity Fair features the first ladies of primetime television in May’s “Special TV Issue.” They look mighty comfy in those silk sheets. {TFS}
A day without a krazy kwote from Karl Lagerfeld is like a day without sunshine. Here’s today’s gem:
Remember that article Robin Givhan wrote for Newsweek/The Daily Beast where she called Karl Lagerfeld “overrated” and questions whether he was “spread too thin”? Karl Lagerfeld sure does. And he’s still pissed about it. During a press conference yesterday in Tokyo, he didn’t hold back when asked about Tina Brown and Newsweek.
It’s not even March yet and here in New York we’re already getting two kinds of April showers: The kind that is water falling out of the sky, as well as a downpour of noteworthy celebs on fashion magazine covers. April looks to be eclipsing March with big cover stars like Jennifer Lopez on V‘s Read more →
As much as we love to obsess over what celebrities wear down the Academy Awards’ hallowed red carpet, it can be almost more interesting to see what they wear to the after-parties–for a couple of reasons. For one, those who make an outfit change often put on something a little more daring. Second, the parties Read more →
Vanity Fair’s 2012 Hollywood issue is here, and it’s jam-packed with stylish and talented actresses.
