Fashion F*ck-Ups: Kate Hudson

Edited by Andy Wass

Kate Hudson’s hair and makeup were looking pretty perfect at the New York premiere of Bride Wars. But the dress is another story … clearly she and co-star Anne Hathaway were going for a bride-groom feel (Anne looked super-hot in a sleek, fitted black suit), but Kate’s gown is a little too D-in-geometry-class, a little too rejected-Marimekko-design… She was smart enough to leave her neck bare to accommodate the big print — and the fit is OK, but I’m pretty over the whole mermaid tail thing, too.

Ray-Ban Debuts Wayfarer Skinnies

Edited by Andy Wass

With the same shape, durability, and style as the classic Wayfarers, Ray-Ban‘s new Skinnies are just a little slimmer.  

For some, that translates to uniqueness, versatility, and sleekness.  For me, that means another thing I can’t buy for fear of breaking it.  Sigh.

Three color combos for sale now at Shopbop.

Moment of Style: Victoria Beckham

Edited by Andy Wass

Putting the “Posh” in, well “Posh” for over ten years, Victoria Beckham risked looking a little hippy in Dubai this weekend.

Her billowy Dolce and Gabbana dress with corset top practically orbited around her Saturday at an Italian soccer party.

Becks wore a white Polo shirt…

Spread Um: Kate Winslet for ELLE UK

Edited by Andy Wass

More images from Kate Winslet’s February 2009 ELLE UK spread have surfaced.  The retro-inspired modern looks are a good change for her.  I feel stylists usually can’t let go of her Titanic image, and stick her in period piece-style editorials.  I see nothing flowy here, though; and no bodices, petticoats, or men in tights.

Here’s hoping for no photoshop lawsuits…!

Big Girls Don’t Cry

Edited by Andy Wass

A new survey suggests that women in the UK who wear a size 14 (US size 12) are the happiest — with career, love life, friendships, etc.

Special K’s poll of 3000 women found that for the most part curvier — but not huge — women are happier (but greater happiness isn’t directly proportional to a higher weight).

And for the record, Marilyn Monroe, above, is said to be a size 12 by today’s standards, but I don’t know how happy she was.

The results are as follows:

HAPPIEST DRESS SIZES
1. 14 (US 12)
2. 12 (US 10)
3. 8 (US 6)
4. 16 (US 14)
5. 10 (US 8 )

LEAST HAPPY DRESS SIZES
1. 24 (US 22)
2. 20 (US 18)
3. 22 (US 20)
4. 6 (US 4)
5. 18 (US 16)
