The former "Carrie Diaries" star has been looking good lately.
It wasn't just Keira Knightley and Elle Fanning.
Not many lunches in the fashion industry feature opening remarks by Senators Amy Klobuchar and Jeanne Shaheen, a former Secret Service agent as a tablemate, and a coat check shared with Georgina Chapman and Sky Ferreira. But then, not many industry lunches are hosted by Cosmopolitan editor in chief Joanna Coles.
Both the OG and the new Carrie Bradshaws made our best dressed list this week, both looking equally fab in Marc Jacobs and Miss Wu, respectively. There's also some supermodel competition on the list with Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell--both dressed in head to toe black. Then, there's Chloe Sevigny who is basically wearing the outfit we want to be wearing for the rest of the summer. So cute. Click through for all that and the rest of this week's best dressed.
Tired of the endless stream of extravagant gowns at Cannes? Yeah, neither are we. But, we felt bad for the step-and-repeating celebs who don't happen to be in the south of France right now. And they deserve some attention: Liberty Ross looking hotter than ever in Dior? AnnaSophia Robb looking adorable in one of our fave designers Katie Ermilio? Can't miss. Click through for that and the rest of our 10 best dressed of the week (Cannes excluded)!
H&M has its eye on India: The retailer is reportedly planning to spend about $130 million on an initial 50 stores in the country. {The Business of Fashion} Naomi Campbell goes blonde on the cover of Vogue Brazil. {Fashion Gone Rogue} Here's a first look at Alber Elbaz's debut makeup collection with Lancôme. Unsurprisingly, it looks pretty adorable. {WWD, Subscription required.}
Clearly, SJP's not 100% on board with the idea of someone else inhabiting the role she played for eight years on HBO. But shouldn't we care more about the opinion of the person who actually created the character?
In our minds, Sarah Jessica Parker will always be Carrie Bradshaw. We just haven't figured out how to separate the two in our brains. Even The Edit's Jennifer Dickinson seems to have some trouble differentiating, drawing numerous comparisons between the two throughout the actress's cover story for Net-a-Porter's magazine, asking her about the scope of her wardrobe, her penchant for high heels, HBO's modern day SATC, Girls, and, of course, The Carrie Diaries.
This past Saturday, I braved H&M's Fifth Avenue flagship to chat with adorable Carrie Diaries star AnnaSophia Robb. She was there to host, along with Seventeen (whose cover we can only assume she'll be gracing soon) an in-store event celebrating the launch of the retailer's new "Denim Days" campaign.
Tonight is the big premiere of The Carrie Diaries, the CW show that aims to tell the back story of New York's favorite fictional sex columnist Carrie Bradshaw as young girl who apparently grew up in the Connecticut 'burbs. With Gossip Girl star stylist Eric Daman on board to provide the beginnings of Carrie's theatrical, over-the-top style, we have high hopes for the 80s-inspired clothing that young Carrie as played by AnnaSophia Robb will wear. But as on-point as we're sure the new show's wardrobe will be, we're having a hard time envisioning us trying to cop a 1980s teenager's style--even if she is Carrie Bradshaw. So we thought we'd reminisce about the amazing outfits of OG CB, played to iconic perfection by Sarah Jessica Parker--and recreate them for all you modern-day Carries out there. Let's be honest: Sex and the City might have been a story about a woman and her soul mates (and the men along the way), but her closet definitely deserved top billing. From being mugged for her Manolos to passing out at the opera, here are our top ten Carrie Bradshaw style moments, and where to get 'em for yourself. Don't forget to check out The Carrie Diaries tonight on the CW (if you're not too busy watching The Bachelor, which is sadly airing in the same time slot. Damn you, basic cable!).
We caught up with Carrie Diaries costume designer Eric Daman on what we can expect from the new series's take on style icon Carrie Bradshaw--from 80s fashion to bra straps.
There are Heathers-esque blazers, polka dots, and scrunchies! Click through for more pics.
From Anna Wintour and Michael Kors chilling at Macy's to Sarah Jessica Parker vogueing it at Fred Leighten, there was no shortage of mega-watt stars
FLORENCE--Last night Ferragamo celebrated the opening of a new exhibition devoted to all things Marilyn Monroe at the Museo Salvatore Ferragamo in Florence. Ferragamo's exhibit comes at the tail end of a resurgence of interest in all things Marilyn kicked off by My Week With Marilyn and buoyed by the release of never before seen photos. This latest manifestation of Marilyn will surely keep interest piqued. Ferragamo got his start in Hollywood as a shoe designer to the stars, Marilyn being one of them, so the photos, costumes, shoes, and artifacts on display (like a custom order for Monroe's shoes, or her appointment book) are impressive. But more on that later. Ferragamo got his start with the stars so it was fitting that the brand wrangled a few for last night's opening. The label has cleverly taken an interest in AnnaSophia Robb, aka young Carrie Bradshaw. Nineteen-year-old Robb is no stranger to the spotlight--she's been acting for years--but she's never been in the fashion spotlight before. And she's about to be in a big way, as The Carrie Diaries has been picked up by the CW with Gossip Girl's Eric Daman doing the costumes. We chatted with the starlet about how it feels to be filling those big Manolos.
We learned this week that the CW officially picked up the Sex and the City prequel, The Carrie Diaries, and after getting lots of sneak peeks at Car
The CW has released a few more promotional photos from The Carrie Diaries now that it has been officially picked up. And it looks like costume designe
With prom season upon us, we've been looking at the dresses from all different angles: What to wear, what not to wear, how to get the look. For most celebrities, however, this routine is nothing new. Getting dolled up for a night of partying and red carpet stomping is just another part of the job--however, for young Hollywood actresses the routine is slightly different since they have designers clamoring to dress them. We can't imagine that any of the current hot young things are tired of getting dressed up just yet, so we've decided to dress a few of our favorite starlets (of a certain high school-ish age--we know some of them are over 18...) for prom in some looks from spring and fall. Click through for a prom we are very interested in attending.

The Carrie Bradshaw character in the much-hyped Sex and the City prequel, the CW series The Carrie Diaries, has been cast. And, no, it's not Elizabeth Olsen, as was previously rumored. The new young Carrie is relatively unknown actress AnnaSophia Robb, best known for playing Violet Beauregarde in the 2005 Johnny Depp-version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
