Last summer Barney’s New York collected recycled denim, which these top designers have fashioned into outfits. The exclusive designs, now

SPREAD UM: Emily Blunt for Vanity Fair, May 2009

In her spread in the May 2009 issue of Vanity Fair, Emily Blunt looks all but poised to steal all the period piece roles away from Keira Knightley.

In the ornate Michael Roberts-shot editorial, Emily models some incredible couture looks from the Paris collections, including Dior, Givenchy, and Valentino.

MOMENT OF STYLE: Diane Kruger

 Swoon!  Diane Kruger (with the better-with-age Joshua Jackson) hit up the 6th Annual New Yorkers for Children Spring Dinner Dance Thursday night.

Diane looked adorable (and appropriate for the event’s springtime theme) in her silk dress from Marchesa Fall 2009, an Alexander McQueen clutch, and Fendi pumps.

ADDICT: Kanye x Louis Vuitton

Kanye [and a little of Amber Rose] star in the new ads for his sneaker collaboration with Louis Vuitton.  

Spending $900 on Velcro sneaks and being around Kanye’s incredible genius makes me tired, too, Amber!

See three more images of the campaign in our gallery.

The shoes, which will be available in YSL boutiques, look sleek and versatile.  The limited collection is just two hightop designs: a leather shoe and a suede shoe, each available in black

SPREAD UM: Evan Rachel Wood for GQ, May 2009

Terry Richardson shot Evan Rachel Wood for the May 2009 issue of GQ.

The sexy pin-up shoot looks like it’s straight out of a Tarantino film, and therefore the perfect job for Mr. Richardson.

SPREAD UM: Meet the Boyfriends, Vogue May 2009

Another feature in the Models Issue of Vogue May 2009 is “Meet the Boyfriends.”

Pretty straightforward — Patrick Demarchelier photographed six top models with their boyfriends: Doutzen Kroes, Chanel Iman, Arlenis Sosa, Julia Stegner, Caroline Trentini, and Anna Jagodzinska.

Cutest part: Caroline is dating the photographer’s son! And even though she’s clearly posing,

WTF!?! Jessica Alba Goes Blonde #fashionfail

Usually lightening your hair is a youth-enhancing move, right? We’ve seen Jessica Alba looking hot with lighter locks before, but this time it’s not so pretty. I think it has more to do with the cut than the color – she just looks ways beyond her 27 years.  While the

ADDICT: Daria for Matthew Williamson x H&M

H&M regularly has ads that are a lot better than you’d think a chain retailer would have.  These ads are no exception, as Daria Werbowy stars in the summery campaign for Matthew Williamson’s collaboration with H&M.

The Asian-inspired styling of this shot is highlighted wonderfully by the incredible colors.

MOMENT OF STYLE: Drew Barrymore

Drew Barrymore got glammed up in Alberta Ferretti for a Roaring Twenties-inspired look. Accented with a small veil and classic red lipstick, the nude, sequined gown looked perfect on Drew, and not costumey. 

Drew hit up the..black carpet for HBO’s premiere of the Grey Gardens remake in New York Tuesday night.

Madonna Rumored for Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 Ads

Rumor has is that Madonna will extend her stay as the face of Louis Vuitton, and star in a new Steven Meisel-shot campaign for Fall 2009.

Nothing has been confirmed yet, but it sounds like we should know more in the next month.

Would it be Madonna overload? Are we all

MAG HAG: Vogue, May 2009

The May 2009 issue of Vogue is the Steven Meisel-shot “Model Issue,” and features a pull-out cover with “The Faces of the Moment.” (Is it just me, or is Natalia Vodianova having the longest moment ever?!)

It’s great, of course, to see models on a US cover (especially since not one

Juicy Launches Intimates Line

Expanding on Juicy’s loungewear empire that started with tracksuits, the Juicy Couture Intimate Apparel collection is basic sleepwear and underwear.  Really basic.  Like, boring-basic.  The line is full of nightgowns, screened tees and camisoles, pajama pants, undies, and robes, in springy, girly colors.

The line is surprisingly innocuous and a lazy attempt

British artist-turned-milliner Piers Atkinson keeps things fun and a little absurd for his Fall/Winter 2009 hat line.

Makeup Wearers Have Better Balance?

A new study, suspiciously led by a research department of L’Oreal, has found that applying makeup might contribute to better balance and coordination.

The survey of 100 women aged 65-85 revealed that those who applied even a little makeup in the morning were steadier on their feet and had better posture.

ADDICT: Lily Cole for Rimmel

Rimmel announced Lily Cole as one of their new faces in July 2008. Almost a year later, she has finally joined Sophie Ellis Bextor and Kate Moss in representing the beauty brand.

I think Lily seems like an odd choice to campaign for Rimmel’s Stay Matte Foundation — the makeup’s covered all

MAG HAG: tar Spring 2009

The Spring 2009 cover of tar magazine features the above graphic of Kate Moss. Created by Damien Hirst, the image exposes half of Kate’s face – instead of distorting a model’s face by airbrushing a photograph, Hirst peeks into the true, and not always pretty, side of human anatomy.
