Best Shopping Makeover Montages to get you in the Memorial Day Mood

Jessica Lapidos — Thu, 24 May 2012 12:00:23 +0000

OMG she’s just screaming for a makeover! Unfortunately Clueless has the lockdown on the greatest makeover scene in movie history. Whatever. These montages have all the quick-changing, life-altering, debt-incurring movie magic we crave. From Pretty Woman to Clone High, it’s time for a….. MAKEOVER!

Big mistake. Huge. Really offensive.

How many designer name-drops can Anne Hathaway squeeze her size 6 ass into?

When a middle-American family turns Euro-trash.

Queen Latifah goes international, morphing from ma'am, to pimp, to proper purple royalty.

Let them eat cake, and custom jaquard.

Stuns and Stunser.

Four score and the greatest MTV cartoon ever ago, Abe Lincoln gave Joan of Arc a... MAKEOVER!

Laugh's on you, Julia Roberts and all you other montagers. Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate just shut shit down. HAHAHAHA. hahaha HAHA.

Vogue Festival Draws a Fashionable Crowd

Lester Brathwaite — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 12:57:41 +0000

Coachella wasn’t the only fashion-forward festival going down this weekend. On the other side of the pond industry luminaries — ranging from Tom Ford and bff Stella McCartney, to Diane von Furstenbreg and Dolce & Gabbana and Natalia Vodianova and Rachel Zoe – regaled attendees of the inaugural Vogue Festival with advice and anecdotes on a series of panels during the two-day event. After the jump, a few highlights.

Link Love: Vogue UK

Tom Ford on personally test driving his beauty collection: "I put every single thing on -- I don't wear it down the street, but I want to see how it covers, how it works. When you put your name on something, you want people to know you believe in it." Tom Ford on his incredible shyness: "I'm the face of the brand. With Chanel, you feel that Karl Lagerfeld's personality has really melded with Coco's - but not everyone knows yet who I am, so that's why I'm in the pictures. I don't like having my picture taken but it helps people to respond. My real life's not like the fantasy Tom Ford world - with naked girls pouring perfume everywhere. It's more staying in and watching Friends on television." Tom Ford on why he eschews the runway: "The reason I present in a small controlled way is that so much of what makes my clothes special is the cut, the stitching, the lining -- things that would be lost on the catwalk. On the catwalk you have to exaggerate, almost."

Natalia Vodianova on dieting: "The only diet I have ever done is the blood type diet -- I have done it for five years now. The big contracts go to the girls who are healthy - they need to have a sparkle in their eyes and you can't fake that if you're unhealthy." Natalia Vodianova on negativity: "I think it's really important to say no in this industry actually, it's more important than saying yes. I believe it is very much about saying no, and fighting for what you think you deserve." Eva Herzigova on being a 90s super: "It's a different time now - [the supermodel phenomenon] was a trend," she said. "The woman was much more feminine then, and we took longer to build up our careers. Modelling is very much based on experience."

Jourdan Dunn on healthy body image: "I've learnt to accept my flaws - I hated being skinny and lanky growing up. I think I'm fine so I've decided that no one can tell me otherwise. OK I'm skinny -- what's next, let's move on!"

Diane von Furstenberg on independent women, part 1: "I was on an early flight one morning and I was the only woman on the plane. On the same day, I'd managed to make it onto the cover of the Wall Street Journal -- which I had bought for the journey. There was a man sitting next to me on the plane and he kept staring at my legs and nudging me in the way someone does when they want to talk to you, but don't know what to say. So instead, the first thing he said to me was: 'Why would a girl like you be reading Wall Street Journal?' I looked at him like 'you jerk'. I never said to him, 'look you idiot, I'm on the cover!' Of all the satisfactions I've ever had in my life, that was the biggest." Diane von Furstenberg on independent women, part 2: "I didn't know what I wanted to do, I just knew the sort of woman I wanted to be. I wanted to be independent, I wanted to have my own money and be able to stand on my own - not the type of woman that waits for a man to call."

Stella McCartney and Kate Hudson on Keith Richards: "We met at the VH1 Fashion Awards. I saw her -- she was so cool -- standing in this doorway with Keith Richards." - Kate "I always carry Keith Richards with me in my handbag so I look cool." - Stella Stella McCartney on counterfeiting: "Part of you thinks, 'that's really annoying - we worked really hard on that. But my CEO came in one day so happy and said: 'My mum just saw a fake Falabella Bag in Marbella!' I suppose it does show you've hit kind of a sweet spot if people are copying you. But with the Silhouette Dress and the Polkadot Dress last season, we did have to send a few little letters reminding people that maybe it's not a good idea."

David Bailey on Cecil Beaton: "I mean, I was always a big fan of Cecil - but he was the most terrible middle-class snob." David Bailey on feminism: "I had a terrible time with feminists in the Seventies. They hated me, those women. I think they hated everything."

Stefano Gabbana on Domenico Dolce: "We are in love. It's a different kind of love, but we love each other. It's a difficult word to explain, but there's no real difference in the way we work together. We have a better level of understanding and tolerance maybe since separating romantically. People are jealous of what we have: still being in love and being able to make something interesting - we are strong and that's disturbing to some people. Domenico is like my family - even though we're not a couple any more. I have a brother, a mother, and Domenico... it has been a 20-year love affair." Domenico Dolce on underage models: "People say: 'Models are so young, they're so skinny.' But Mr. Balenciaga used models at 16 and that will never change. People say they are skinny, but there is a difference between skinny and sick. If someone is sick, they're sick. It's not because of fashion. If I have flu, I have flu; it's not because I work in fashion." Stefano Gabbana on shuttering the D&G line: "When we decided to do it, the people [stockholders] called us, going crazy - but we need to do it. Chanel has one label; Gucci; Vuitton - why do we need D&G? The people call Dolce & Gabbana 'D&G' - it is the symbol for Dolce & Gabbana, there's no need for us to have two labels." Stefano Gabbana on Madonna: "We went to see her on the Blond Ambition tour, we were big fans. We were watching the show - she was wearing Jean Paul Gaultier then - and I said to Domenico: 'Imagine if one day she wore Dolce & Gabbana.' Then we picked up the paper and there she was, in one of our dresses...She's beautiful, she's mature, she's a mother - like Isabella Rossellini or Monica Bellucci. She's a real woman."

Rachel Zoe on one of her fave jobs-well-done: "Anne Hathaway at the Venice Film Festival 2008 was a really good one. She wore an Atelier Versace celadon green gown and she looked just like the quintessential movie star. Literally - I gasped for air." Rachel Zoe on avoiding wardrobe malfunctions: "One of the things I'm most militant about is proper undergarments. Dress transparency can be a real issue! I photograph my clients in their dresses from the front, from the back, from the side, inside, outside, under hot lights... it needs to be an outfit that looks good from all angles and where potential disasters are kept to a minimum."

The Virtual Valentino Museum Opens Its Virtual Doors

Lester Brathwaite — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 21:35:48 +0000

Valentino Garavani, his longtime partner Giancarlo Giammetti, and big-time Hollywood actresses Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman were on hand in New York at the Museum of Modern Art this morning to announce the official opening of another, less traditional museum: the Valentino Garavani Virtual Museum, a free downloadable desktop app documenting 300 of the designer’s most iconic creations, as well as the stories and the people behind them.

We took a tour for ourselves and were pretty blown away. Not only is the virtual museum well-designed and easy to navigate, there are no endless lines or annoying children to ruin the experience for you. Included in the Museum’s ten sections are: “Very Valentino,” an exhibit featuring the house’s signature gowns from the 60s through the 00s; a Library of original drawings, celebrity and editorial photographs, press, and fashion show videos from his first presentation in 1977 to his final bow in 2008; and “The Other Half,” chronicling Garavani’s 50-plus-year relationship with Giammetti. It’s an early Christmas present for any lover of fashion — just make sure you’ve got some extra time on your hands. Download it here NOW!

Annie Get Your Tod’s: Hathaway Hot for Handbags

Lester Brathwaite — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 11:32:59 +0000

Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott teamed up once again with Hollywood stunner Anne Hathaway for the new Tod’s Signature Collection campaign.

Derek Lam, Tod’s creative director, had kind words to say about the actress: ”What makes this collaboration with Anne so perfect is that not only is she a young actress with accomplished roles to her credit, she is also one to watch for her creative choices. She generates excitement based on the quality of her work, modern beauty and intelligence.” Clearly someone didn’t see Love and Other Drugs…nor should he.

The Signature Collection is geared towards the younger and “more fashion-forward” and is inspired by Andy Warhol and French fashion photog Guy Bourdin. The bags come in ”strong, decisive tones” such as deep red, black, electric blue, fuchsia , lavender, beige and cream. I don’t know when beige became a strong and/or decisive tone, but I digress.

Hathaway, for her part, chimed in with this about the collection: ”The designs are classic and the materials are of the highest quality. As a result, they don’t grow older, they only grow better just like a woman.” [Telegraph]

Anne Hathaway Has a Spritiual Awakening in Interview

Anne Hathaway Covers Interview’s September Issue

Lester Brathwaite — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 12:07:52 +0000

All together now: “STUNNING!” Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott are apparently the only working fashion photographers these days, scoring yet another gorgeous cover for Interview, this time with the always editorial Anne Hathaway for their “Fall Fashion Issue.”

Are you there vodka? It’s me, anticipation. Hathaway is interviewed by bawdy bitch-and-a-half Chelsea Handler so I’ll be waiting with breath more bated than usual for my issue to turn up at my door. And with Karl Templer handling the styling duties, this should be one of the highlights of the September issue season.

Meanwhile, if you direct your attention to the lower left hand corner you’ll notice that Carine Roitfeld was interviewed by Karl Lagerfeld. No big deal, except perhaps being the best thing ever. But again, no big deal. [Design Scene]

Rachel Roy Should Have Just Stayed In Bed

Jessica Lapidos — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 13:09:25 +0000

Looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. The typically businesslike designer Rachel Roy went slumming it in her PJs to the premiere of Anne Hathaway’s new movie One Day. The trend is pajama inspired, not your straight up daddy’s jammies. Looks like once Roy steps out of business casual, she loses it. And suddenly, we’re ready for some shut eye.

Come on, Rachel Roy. Put your clothes on. Oh, it’s either that or your famous trench-dress? Either way, it looks like your one step too close to going streaking.

Fail.

I’m Ready for My Close-Up, Mr. Testino: The 10 Most Editorial Actresses

Lester Brathwaite — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 16:00:06 +0000

Anna Wintour has been credited/blamed/lauded/criticized for the current proliferation of celebrity-driven magazine covers of the past 15 years or so. Love it or hate it, a model has a better chance winning a Pulitzer than landing a U.S. Vogue cover — with a few notable exceptions. While stars are rightfully and contractually beautiful, however, not all of them can cut the couture mustard. Then there are those ladies who love the camera and the camera is kind of obsessed with them. Here, the 10 actresses who give the best editorial — and give models a run for their money — are given the countdown treatment.

Tilda givin’ a little twist in Another by Craig McDean.

The Dark Knight Gets a Rise

Lester Brathwaite — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 13:23:59 +0000

The teaser trailer for The Dark Knight Rises, the final installment of the Christopher Nolan-helmed Dark Knight series has hit the internets. Sadly, there’s no Anne Hathaway brandishing a whip in a catsuit, but my box office appetite is certainly whet. Take a look after the jump.

The film, slated for a Summer 2012 release stars Christian Bale in the titular role, Hathaway as Catwoman, Tom Hardy as Bane and my future ex-husband Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John Blake. Series regulars Michael Caine, Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman return as well.

Delfina Delettrez Designs Jewelry, Aka Toys for Adults

Amanda Gabriele — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 19:38:10 +0000

Delfina Delettrez is no stranger of fashion. As the daughter of Silvia Venturini Fendi, she grew up in a world of design, glamour and creativity. For the August 2011 issue of Harper’s Bazaar, she opened the doors of her chic Paris home and shared her style secrets with all.

You must read the entire article, as you’re sure to be inspired, but here are some highlights from the story:

On her passion for designing jewelry: “I like new challenges….I like to describe my jewelry as toys for adults.”

Silvia Venturini Fendi, describes her daughter’s sense of style: “The apartment is so much like Delfina. So little and romantic, but so precious and strong at the same time.”

Pretty Pretty Princess: 10 Stylishly Modern Princesses

Lester Brathwaite — Tue, 17 May 2011 19:29:35 +0000

There was a time when being a princess was all about turning down suitors, overthrowing kingdoms and trying not to die from the Plague. But times have changed and you’re less likely to find a princess stranded in some castle than feeding the poor or helping charity. Here are ten princesses from different walks of life whose style makes it reign all over their respective kingdoms.

1. Princess Diana – Diana Spencer

Title: Princess of Wales
Prince Charming: Friend, confidante and designer of choice, Gianni Versace, particularly since Prince Charles proved more frog than prince.

2. Princess Grace – Grace Kelly

Title: Princess of Monaco
Prince Charming: Longtime BFF, Josephine Baker, whom she met in 1951 after standing up for Baker against The Stork Club’s racist practices

3. Princess Jasmine – from Disney‘s Aladdin

Title: Princess of Agrabah
Prince Charming: Street urchin turned Prince Ali, Fabulous He Ali Ababwa

4. Princess Ann – Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday (1953)

Title: N/A
Prince Charming: Co-star Gregory Peck and Hubert de Givenchy whom she wore to accept her Best Actress Oscar for her performance

5. Princess Charlotte – Charlotte Casiraghi

Title: Princess of Monaco (she’s Princess Grace’s granddaughter)
Prince Charming: Gucci’s Frida Giannini who exclusively designs Princess Charlotte’s equestrian wardrobe.

6. Princess Sirivannavari – Sirivannavari Nariratana

Title: Princess of Thailand
Prince Charming: Fashion. She’s designs her own fashion line and is a regular at Jean Paul Gaultier‘s shows.

7. Miss Chi Chi Rodriguez – John Leguizamo in To Wong Foo

Title: Drag Princess, “P to the R to the In to the Cess”
Prince Charming: Julie Newmar, who crowns the princess a queen while wearing a Mugler catsuit.

8. Princess Leila – Leila Pahlavi

Title: Princess of Iran
Prince Charming: Barbiturates. A former Valentino model, Leila had her share of demons including anorexia, depression and drug abuse, which ultimately claimed her life.

9. Mia Thermopolis – Anne Hathaway in The Princess Diaries

Title: Princess of Genovia
Prince Charming: Julie Andrews, whose spoonful of sugar helped make the royal medicine go down as Mia’s grandmother, Queen Clarisse.

10. Princess Catherine – Kate Middleton

Title: The Duchess of Cambridge, Her Royal Highness Princess William of Wales
Prince Charming: Sarah Burton, whose Alexander McQueen wedding gown propelled Kate from lady to Lady.

Top 10 Most Stylish Ingénues

Lester Brathwaite — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 13:30:50 +0000

Hollywood is buzzing with ingénues — young actresses who are typically cast as innocent or naïve characters, which is ironic in itself since there’s nothing innocent or naïve about anyone in Hollywood. There are, however, a crop of lovely ladies who stand head and collar bone above the pack, due to their talent, their beauty and their sense of style. Of course, one could argue that they all have a team of stylists and professional gays that keep them looking flawless, but you can throw anyone in couture; some sink while others end up doing backstrokes all over the competition. These are the 10 gals who are setting both the screen and red carpet ablaze. Let ‘em burn!

Carey Mulligan

Starring roles: A Miu Miu, Vionnet and Prada devotee, Carey’s also not afraid to make a bold choice…such as ignoring Anna Wintour‘s advice. Others have died for less, but her gambits more often pay off than not. With one Oscar nomination down — for An Education (2009) – Mulligan’s sure to get another for next year’s The Great Gatsby, playing the ultimate ingénue, Daisy Buchanan.

Elle Fanning

Starring roles: Elle proved such a fave with the Mulleavy sisters, they cast her in a short film for Rodarte. After stealing scenes in the independent Somewhere (2010), Elle’s going for the blockbuster gusto with J.J. Abrams‘s Super 8, out this summer.

Hailee Steinfeld

Starring roles: Along with Fanning, Steinfeld is proving that it’s never too early to be a fashionista by going on a winning streak during awards season…if only on the red carpet. Hailee nabbed an Oscar nom for showing her Grit, but for her next project, she’s going for a softer touch: she’s attached to a retelling of Sleeping Beauty.

Mia Wasikowska

Starring roles: Honestly, I’ve been more inspired by Mia’s stunning editorials as of late than her red carpet style. She first had me with W alongside her Jane Eyre co-star, Michael Fassbender then she channeled another Mia (Farrow) for Blackbook. She’s super talented and naturally beautiful plus with a slew of upcoming roles, she’ll have plenty of time to brush up on her style notes.

Blake Lively

Starring roles: When Karl Lagerfeld handpicks you to be the Chanel Purse Ambassador, you’re officially an icon. Best known for her penchant for Gossip, Blake surprised everyone with a dramatic turn in The Town (2010) and will soon be feeling up Ryan Reynold‘s muscled, latex-clad torso in this summer’s Green Lantern. Some ingenues get all the luck.

Keira Knightley

Starring roles: Another of Karl’s favorites, Keira’s been a red carpet highlight for years — I’m still screaming at her in Vera Wang at the 2006 Oscars.* Though she was keeping a low profile for a while, Knightley came roaring back in this Chanel Couture stunner at the London premiere of Never Let Me Go. Add to that coup her recent Chanel Coco Mademoiselle short film and the upcoming romantic drama Last Night this May.

Leighton Meester

Starring roles: Though she’s the picture of Upper East Side preppy refinement as Blair Waldorf, Leighton’s personal style falls more in the delightfully quirky category. Along with Carey, Leighton is among the most fun and daring of these youthful beauties. Between gigs on Gossip Girl, Meester will next be seen seducing Dr. House himself in The Oranges out later this year.

Mila Kunis

Starring roles: Black Swan propelled Mila Kunis into a completely different stratosphere, one with awards and critical praise. Mila rose gamely to the challenge of red carpet dressing, peaking with this Alexander McQueen number from the SAG Awards. Next she’ll trade in her toe shoes to shack up with Justin Timberlake before hopping a broom for Oz: The Great and Powerful.

Michelle Williams

Starring roles: Michelle had her best style moment at this year’s Oscars when she took my breath away in this simple Chanel column… although her 2006 canary yellow Vera Wang* still holds a special place in my heart. Once upon a Creek, Michelle Williams was Katie Holmes‘ rival, so it makes poetic sense that while Katie is Jackie O, Michelle will play Marilyn Monroe in next year’s My Week With Marilyn.

Anne Hathaway

Starring roles: Honestly, Hathaway’s days as an ingénue are practically through, but having put in her Princess days, she’s succesfully transitioning to a leading lady. She managed to hold up the weight of the entire Academy Awards telecast this year on her bold, tuxedoed shoulders, so her next challenge Anne will be to claw up the screen as Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises.

*Sidebar: Meanwhile, I forgot how much werq Vera was doing at the Academy Awards that year.

Valentino Goes Long

Jessica Lapidos — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 14:04:25 +0000

Credit as you may Anne Hathaway, Angelina Jolie and Florence Welch and her machine, for the resurgence in long-sleeved gowns. This fashion month, however, few did it better than Valentino in his ready-to-wear collection. Demure, sheer infused and regal, these pieces make modesty sensually sexy.

RED CARPET REPORT CARD: Anne Hathaway’s Top 3 Oscar Looks

Amanda Gabriele — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 22:48:19 +0000

Oscar co-host Anne Hathaway looked stunning in every single look Rachel Zoe put her in last night. The only dress I did not like was the Valentino Fall 2002 Couture dress she wore on the red carpet, but we’ll just pretend it didn’t happen. Check out Anne’s top three Oscar looks in the Red Carpet Report Card.

Anne looked stunning and statuesque in a purple Armani Privé Spring 2011 Couture gown. I love the glamorous air she radiates in this dress that literally shines.

For her absolutely smashing singing performance that should put her immediately on Broadway, Anne wore a custom Lanvin tuxedo with custom Swarovski crystal-encrusted Brian Atwood satin pumps. She looks like a classic beauty performing in an old Hollywood movie. Can’t get enough!

The Oscars in Review

Lester Brathwaite — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 17:14:55 +0000

The Academy Awards are over and with it, awards season, leaving a trophy-sized hole in all our hearts. The fashion was a hit, the show was a miss but god bless Anne Hathaway for trying and James Franco for showing up.

Everyone stood up for Billy Crystal when he showed up on stage at the Oscars last night, as if there was a certain sense of relief: daddy’s home. Hosting the Oscars is basically a thankless job (see: Jon Stewart, Conan O’Brien, Alec Baldwin/Steve Martin etc., etc.). It’s like walking a tightrope above a sea of sharks in couture gowns and Tom Ford tuxedos. Crystal was the go-to person for years and will probably be asked back next year.

Which isn’t to say that Anne Hathaway and James Franco didn’t do a decent job. The opening was hilarious and provided us with this little token of awesomeness, otherwise known as James Franco in a leotard:

They’re actors so they were best in a pre-taped skit, but then things took a quick dive, salvaged only by Anne Hathaway’s plucky charm and seven wardrobe changes (the best being the blue Armani Privé and the final Tom Ford, though in truth I would’ve preferred a few more looks; that first Givenchy Haute Couture seemed to last for. ever.)

Franco was high or just being James Franco, either way he was apparently too busy tweeting to commit fully to his hosting duties. Though, honestly, it’s James Franco and I could care less what he does as long as he’s just around, perhaps lurking in a corner somewhere. And preferably in drag:

It wasn’t Cher, but girl will throw a wig on at the drop of a hat.

The acceptance speeches were long-winded and boring, with the award for Most Pompous Grandstander going to Aaron Sorkin, natch. Luckily we had Best Supporting Actress Melissa Leo throwing the F-word around like it was going out of style. Combined with 900-year-old Kirk Douglas stealing the show and hobbling away with it, there was nothing really to hold interest past the first 45 minutes of the show.

The King’s Speech took home four awards, the four biggest awards at that: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and most deservedly, Best Actor for Colin Firth, who delivered an eloquent and clever speech like only the British can. I was pulling for dark horse, Black Swan, though The Social Network had blown its wad at the earlier awards shows.

Natalie Portman won Best Actress over multiple snubbee, Annette Bening and delivered another adorable speech. Christian Bale took home Best Supporting Actor and from the looks of him probably went back to living in a cardboard box. Though, forest beard or not, I’d still hit it.

Gwyneth Paltrow made an appearance on an Oscar stage for the first time in who gives a…performing “Coming Home” from Country Strong and Cee Lo‘s presence was certainly missed.

All in all, the show was a big snooze, but I’m seriously going to miss all the hooplah of awards season. There’s nothing to look forward to now until the Emmys in September! Oh, and I guess the VMAs if you’re into that kind of trash. Twas a good season though, full of great movies and a poorly produced Oscars telecast, but now we can all refer to that guy from Nine Inch Nails as “Academy Award winner Trent Reznor.”

Anne Hathaway is always a red carpet knockout, thanks to her long time stylist Rachel Zoe. Last night at the Oscars, she took us through seven costume changes in looks by Givenchy, Tom Ford, and Versace, among others. Check out all of Anne’s looks after the jump.

The 10 Greatest Oscar Gowns Of All Time

Lester Brathwaite — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 21:48:34 +0000

The Academy Awards are this Sunday which means that Los Angeles is full of starving actresses hurling Blackberrys and iPhones at frightened assistants and Rachel Zoe is teetering around on her swollen ankles trying to find a gown for Demi that hasn’t already been claimed by an actual nominee while coordinating Anne Hathaway‘s 55 looks. So in celebration and in anticipation, we present to you, in no particular order, the 10 greatest Oscar gowns…wait for it…OF ALL TIME.

So what is a great Oscar gown? It’s a dress that is memorable, history-making, scene-stealing or just plain fucking perfect. With that, I just don’t get the fuss over Gwyneth‘s pink prom dress and refuse to even acknowledge that gown or the fact that she has an Oscar.

Audrey Hepburn (1954) Auds became a star and a fashion icon that night when she wore Givenchy, beginning a lifetime collaboration between the star and designer. Along with America’s heart, she took home the Best Actress trophy for her debut performance in Roman Holiday.

Elizabeth Taylor (1961) In the pantheon of great movie stars, few shine brighter or longer than Liz Taylor, thus a list of the greatest Oscar gowns could barely be considered legitimate without Liz throwing her white diamonds into the mix — I hear they’ve always brought her luck. Taylor won her first of two Oscars for BUtterfield 8 and wore this gorgeous Christian Dior number to claim her statuette. It’s generally accepted – even by Liz herself — that Taylor won the award through a vote of sympathy after losing her husband Mike Todd in a plane crash – only to seek comfort with Debbie Reynolds’ then-husband Eddie Fisher — and suffering a life-threatening illness during filming – at one point she was actually pronounced dead. Six years later she took home a well-deserved trophy for Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Cher (1984) Cher might have proved that she was a serious actress with her Oscar-nominated turn as Meryl Streep‘s lesbian lover in Silkwood, but she’s still fucking Cher. The icon wore Bob Mackie (natch) to the 1984 ceremony but lost only to win three years later for Moonstruck. And that gown was no less show-stopping, but didn’t have this amazing headdress.

Halle Berry (2002) Halle Berry not only became the first African American to win a Best Actress Academy Award that night, but she also launched Elie Saab into the sartorial stratosphere. This was Berry’s and Saab’s shining moment and everything since then has been an enormous letdown. On both their parts.

Barbra Streisand (1969) Eschewing tradition and helping to usher in a new generation of movie star, Babs wore a see-through sequined sailor pantsuit by Arnold Scaasi. It was a big gamble but La Streisand came out the winner and made history by tying for Best Actress with Katharine Hepburn when they won for Funny Girl and Lion in Winter, respectively. Kate chose not to attend because, honestly, it was her third (of four) Oscars and she couldn’t have been bothered.

Celine Dion (1999) Was it a stroke of genius that caused Celine Dion to turn her Christian Dior blazer back-to-front or did she simply forget to take her medication that day? Either way, Celine was memorable the year after her heart went on and on to win Best Original Song (though the award itself went to the songwriters, I. Dunno and No-one Cares).

Nicole Kidman (1997) Nikki Kids was a greenhorn on the red carpet before this Dior gown and became one of its reigning queens after. Though she gave an incredible performance the previous year in To Die For, she won in 2003 for her brilliant portrayal of Virginia Woolf in the saddest movie ever made, otherwise known as The Hours. Nominated this year for her third Oscar for Rabbit Hole, she’s got some big shoes to fill: her own.

Anjelica Huston (1976) Former Halston model Anjelica Huston looked flawless and managed to do what few people can claim: take attention away from Jack Nicholson, who won his first of three Oscars that year for One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Huston would claim her own statuette, for Best Supporting Actress, a decade later for Prizzi’s Honor, also starring Nicholson.

Sharon Stone (1999) I usually spell “batshit crazy” S-H-A-R-O-N-S-T-O-N-E, but Stone looked the picture of elegance in a Vera Wang skirt paired with a Gap button down. The marriage of high and low was made in heaven that night, though I still couldn’t tell you why she was at the ceremony that year. But like most things with Sharon Stone, I don’t question it.

Björk (2001) The dress that launched a thousand jokes, Björk’s Marjan Pejoski swan dress was perhaps the last epic thing to stroll down the Oscar red carpet. Nommed for Best Original Song that year, Björk may have left empty-handed but no one will ever forget that she was there.

Who will leave tongues hanging or heads scratching at this year’s Academy Awards. Of the 10 Best Lead and Supporting Actress nominees, I’m most looking forward to Kidman, teen breakthrough Hailee Steinfeld (as well as peer Elle Fanning who will get her own nomination one day), the almost always flawless Michelle Williams and kooky Helena Bonham Carter.

Unfortunately, Natalie Portman is preggers so naturally I have no interest in what she’s wearing and just hope her water doesn’t break while accepting her award.

Muse of the World: Purse of My Heart

Lester Brathwaite — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 22:22:26 +0000

Janis Joplin and I could have been purse buddies. Oprah makes people do the strangest things. Lindsay Kleptohan? And Eau No de Gaga.

- Items found in Janis Joplin’s handbag: an antique cigarette holder, several motel and hotel room keys, a box of Kleenex, a compact, a bottle of Southern Comfort (empty), a hip flask, gum, sunglasses, credit cards, aspirin, assorted pens and writing pad and a corkscrew. I assume the hip flask was full of SoCo. At least mine is. [The Hairpin]

- Shit is getting UGLY in the Halle Berry/Gabriel Aubry custody battle. Apart from calling her a “fucking bitch,” the Aussie allegedly (his daughter is part black after all) called her the “N” word. I hope she (finally) put that Oscar to good use and threw it at his gorgeous head. [TMZ]

- Jennifer Aniston confronted professional douchebag Perez Hilton about his cruelty to her. I’d like to confront Jennifer Aniston over her current injustice performed upon me. [Huff Po]

- Sassy black lady, my favorite kind of lady, Jazz Ison Sinkfield has been growing her nails for the past 22 years in an effort to meet Oprah Winfrey. I guess that beats my strategy of slowly growing into Gayle King. [Styleist]

- Speaking of becoming a woman, GLAAD is all in a gay huff over an SNL skit they deem to be “dangerous and blatantly anti-tansgender.” Hey, GLAAD, why don’t you untuck for a second and realize it’s just comedy. Sheesh. [Jezebel]

- Lindsay Lohan is under investigation for filching a $2500 necklace from a Venice, CA store on Jan. 22. I hope she threw in a fur and some diamonds as well because $2500 is not worth going to jail for. [People]

- Sartorial star Anne Hathaway had a rare misstep at the premiere of her latest film. And that step landed her in some truly hideous culottes. [Gawker]

- “Oh my god, did someone just jizz on you while you were on your period?”/ “No, silly, I’m just wearing the new Lady Gaga fragrance. And yes.” [Musings of a Muse]

- Jean Paul Gaultier will have his first museum retrospective in June. Make sure to watch your eyes around those cone bras. [NY Mag]

Anne and James Yuk It Up

Lester Brathwaite — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 21:01:09 +0000

ABC premiered the first promo for the Anne Hathaway- and James Franco-hosted Academy Awards and looks like the kids are going the slapstick route. God bless ‘em for tryin’.

I’m not gonna lie, I’m actually looking forward to James and Anne. Hosting the Oscars is a thankless job; after all, you’re dealing with the biggest egos in the world in one room and kids and families watching at home around the world.

This ain’t gonna be Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes, kids.

On the bright side, both James and Anne were pretty good in their relative SNL hosting duties…and let’s face it, they’re both attractive enough to the point that whatever they say won’t really matter.

Look at ‘em, they’re just so cute when they try!

Anne Hathaway Coughs Up a Fur Ball for Batman Sequel

Lester Brathwaite — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 21:25:09 +0000

Christopher Nolan has cast Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle, better known to comic book nerds like me as Catwoman. And we’re not talking that Halle Berry trashfest, either. Hathaway will play the feline felon in The Dark Knight Rises, slated for release on July 12, 2012.

Joining Hathaway and Christian Bale will be Inception star Tom Hardy who will play Bane, the drug-enhanced, muscle-bound supervillain who once broke Batman’s back…suddenly I’m feeling all hot and bothered.

Anne has some big paws to fill, particularly Michelle Pfeiffer’s spectacular portrayal in Tim Burton‘s Batman Returns. Then there’s Julie Newmar — thanks for everything! — and the legendary Earrrrrrrrtha Kitt from the television series.

She comes as a surprise for the role and though not my first choice, I think she can pull it off. Plus it will be interesting to see her in a role that’s so un-Hathaway-esque, much like 2008′s Rachel Getting Married.

Now let’s get down to the important shit — who will be designing her catsuit? Off the top of my head I’d say Givenchy, Versace and, if they go the latex route, Sears.

Lesbian Aunt Anne Hathaway Gets Gleeked

Jessica Lapidos — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 20:29:25 +0000

After a little meet and greet over at the Beverly Hilton last night, Glee creator Ryan Murphy has confirmed that Anne Hathaway will guest star as Kurt’s long lost lesbian aunt. If she had her way, as she gushed her gleeky desires to Jimmy Fallon in November, she’d be show tuning all over the place. Doe-eyed Golden Globe winner(!!) Chris Colfer is piddling himself in excitement. Now, how will she go about playing this pivotal role in Kurt’s life?

Anne Hathaway has played many a lady in her time. Which look would fit Kurt’s gay aunt best?

Should she go choppy haired and troubled á la Rachel Getting Married?

Will she drop in as Kurts Fairy God Lesbian?

Is she going to be a cable knit sweater kinda lesbian, like her pre-Prada Andy Sachs?

Does Kurt’s aunt hail from cowboy country, like the beard she played for Brokeback?

Will Kurt be helping his Aunt find her way to an aesthetician and then become her personal stylist?

Or will she be an ab fab lipstick lesbian?

What do you think??

Red Carpet Report Card: Best of the Golden Globes

Amanda Gabriele — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 18:15:24 +0000

Welcome to the Red Carpet Report Card, Golden Globes addition. So many dresses, so little time to grade them all. First, let’s take a look at the best dressed of the night.

My best dressed choice was tied between three different beautiful ladies, but Anne Hathaway stands just a bit above the other two in Armani Privé. For a tall beauty with perfect curves like this, a structured shoulder is the best thing you can do for your body. She looks so graceful and statuesque in these beautiful rose sequins.

Credit: Global Grind

The back is to die for. It’s provocative, feminine and lovely. Anyone else, I would have said the hair should be worn up, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with the way Anne looks. She is a goddess. She gets an A+.

Credit: StyleBistro

Green was the color of the night, and no one wore it better than Angelina Jolie in Versace. Again, we’re seeing a beautiful padded shoulder that opens up the back and draws attention to her tiny waist. She looks glamorous without that “going to prom” nod that so many celebrities decided to do. I love the top to bottom sparkles and her elegant and unfussy hair. Grade A.

January Jones is a Hollywood bombshell, period, end of sentence. Not only is she talented enough to be on one of the best TV shows of our time, she is the only actress who could pull of this sexy, fringed Versace gown. Everything from the color, to her hair and that beautiful cleavage, January is a fashion risk-taker, and I love her for it. A

Pregnancy has never looked so rosy on the red carpet. Natalie Portman was glowing from the inside out in this pink and red Viktor & Rolf gown with an intricately detailed rose on the chest. She looks healthy, happy and she won best actress for Black Swan. What’s not to love here? A

In a Hollywood full of tramps and star fuckers, how beautiful it is to see a real lady stand by her man. Catherine Zeta Jones was absolutely glowing in this green Monique Lhuillier princess gown. It was so good to see her and Michael Douglas on the red carpet together. Beauty from the inside out: A.

If you have a flat chest, a 1920s style dress like this is prefect for your body. Jayma Mays got it right in this elegant and sexy Alberta Ferretti plunging v-neck gown. The accessories and curly locks perfectly complete the look. The lipstick looks a little orange, but it works against her hair and skin tones. A-

Now let’s talk about a big chest. Scarlet Johansson has a gorgeous, very voluptuous rack, and this dress enhances in a different way. Instead of spilling her cleavage all over the red carpet, Scarjo chose this demure and elegant Elie Saab gown in a lovely dusty pink. It sparkles just the right amount, and the sleeve is extremely flattering. Plus, she had the best hair on the red carpet. A-

I commend Leighton Meester for trying to take fashion risks, but lately they’ve been backfiring hardcore. I was pleased to see her looking so elegant and sophisticated in Burberry Prorsum on the red carpet last night. Her makeup is absolutely gorgeous and those Jimmy Choo shoes are fab-o-rama. It’s not my favorite, but I do love the dress and her. B

I’m not used to putting Eva Longoria in the best dressed category for her red carpet looks, but she looked ravishing last night in a fitted, black Zac Posen gown. It fits her like a glove and her whoa cleavage is saying hello to every single man in that crowd. Slightly bored, but I think that’s a good thing in her case. B

Credit: Socialite Life

Here is the thing about Lea Michele‘s Oscar de la Renta gown: It does not photograph well. When watching her on the red carpet, she looked young, fresh and vibrant in this light salmon dress. It looks too consuming in photographs. But the color on her is amazing. I am so sick of this whispy, bull-shitty kind of up-do, so no points there. But the shoes, HELLO! B-

Broad Shoulders & Sparkles Win at The Golden Globes

Jessica Lapidos — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 14:21:04 +0000

My favorite look of the evening came by way of Angelina Jolie and Anne Hathaway: each a sparkling tower topped with broadening shoulders. The emerald vision of Atelier Versace on Angelina gathers at the waist for a 30′s reminiscent silhouette, while Armani Privé on Anne Hathaway gets it straight all the way down. Long, luminous dark tresses lay over the shoulder, down, sleek like the dresses themselves. Perhaps it’s a dark-haired siren kinda thang. From the front they look perfectly demure, but from the back…

…it’s more of a seductive story. The hint of back from Angelina is enough for us to see her inked stripes of words. The deep, almost bum-baring scoop from Anne Hathaway gives us a hint the skin she shows in Love and Other Drugs. Both the dress and the film done in sexcellent taste.

Leighton Meester attempted the look in Missoni, but didn’t nail it quite like Anne & Ange. It’s almost there, but the shoulders only half commit to the broadness, and the lack of glimmer leaves her less than luminous. The muted neutrals wash her out on the carpet, and I vote open back over thigh high slit.

‘Black Swan’ Nominated for a Record 12 Critics’ Choice Awards

Lester Brathwaite — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 20:30:15 +0000

Awards season is upon us. Movie studios are rushing out all the award bait now and it’s only a matter of time before the red carpets are rolled out, designers are bribed and cajoled and acceptance speeches are played off mid-sentence. Do you hear that? It’s the sound of half-hearted applause.

The Critics’ Choice Awards are a minor affair since no one cares what critics have to say anyway. But it is one of the early forecasters for the Big Show, the Academy Awards. And if the list of nominees is any indication, shove the geezers out of the way because the kids are taking over the Oscars.

It’s already been announced that Anne Hathaway and James Franco will be hosting the ceremony in February. Franco is expected to be nominated for Best Actor for Danny Boyle‘s 127 Hours, which has received Critics’ Choice nominations, in addition for Franco’s performance, for Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Director.

Franco faces stiff competition from Ryan Gosling (Blue Valentine) and Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network) in the Best Actor category, while Goslin’s co-star and current paramour, Michelle Williams will face off against Natalie Portman (Black Swan) and awards show veterans Nicole Kidman (Rabbit Hole) and my personal favorite, Annette Bening (The Kids Are All Right) for Best Actress.

In addition to Best Actress, Black Swan‘s 11 other nominations include Best Picture, Best Supporting Actress Mila Kunis (a long way from That 70s Show), Best Original Screenplay and Best Director for Daron Aronofsky.

With so many of Hollywood’s hot, young talent being showered with awards this season, the Oscars and other trophy ceremonies will certainly draw in a younger demographic and probably a substantial audience. And I will continue to question what I’m doing wrong in my life.

Anne Hathaway’s Red Carpet Look

Jill — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 18:42:55 +0000

The gorgeous Anne Hathaway attended the 2010 Gotham Independent Film Awards last night at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City. The actress wore a floral strapless Dolce & Gabbana dress and Brian Atwood black patent platform pumps. While she looked beautiful as always, we think she played it a little safe with the muted floral print.

Anne Hathaway and James Franco to Host the Oscars

Lester Brathwaite — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 19:25:51 +0000

The Oscars are getting a lot younger and hotter this year as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have announced that the telecast will be hosted by Anne Hathaway and James Franco.

I’m expecting a handful of musical numbers shouldered by the plucky Hathaway while Franco, high from repeated backstage bong hits, instigates an impromptu threesome with Sir Helen Mirren and Dame Ian McKellan in the middle of his acceptance speech for 127 Days.

Teen Vogue’s 50 Best Dressed of 2010

Lester Brathwaite — Thu, 25 Nov 2010 19:31:37 +0000

Teen Vogue named Alexa Chung the best dressed celebrity of 2010, followed by a series of questionable choices. Choices that raised questions like “Who let Katy Perry (#35) anywhere near a best-dressed list?” And “Who are half of these alleged celebrities?”

Lea Michele (#5), Kristin Stewart (#7) Taylor Swift (#8) and Olivia Palermo (#9) somehow all made the top 10. I know this is Teen Vogue, but let’s raise the bar a little and maybe swap ‘em out for Emma Watson (#16), Keira Knightley (#20), Chloë Sevigny (#18) and Freida Pinto (#21).

Though I will say that I am glad that Kelly Osborune (#25) made the list. She’s really come into her own style, plus I love her with Joan Rivers on E!’s Fashion Police. If only they would get rid of that damned orange skeleton, Giuliana Rancic.

Meanwhile, three out of four Gossip Girls made the top 50: Leighton Meester (#19) and Jessica Szohr (#32), however (non-teen) Vogue‘s Best Dressed cover girl Blake Lively has to settle for #23. Anna‘s other Angels, Anne Hathaway (#49) and Sienna Miler (who is apparently still considered a celebrity) bring up the rear.

Take a gander at the full list:

1. Alexa Chung

2. Emma Roberts

3. Carey Mulligan

4. Kate Bosworth

5. Lea Michele

6. Camilla Belle

7. Kristin Stewart

8. Taylor Swift

9. Olivia Palermo

10. Rachel Bilson

11. Natalie Portman

12. Victoria Justice

13. Whitney Port

14. Miranda Cosgrove

15. Nicola Peltz

16. Emma Watson

17. Amanda Seyfried

18. Chloë Sevigny

19. Leighton Meester

20. Keira Knightly

21. Freida Pinto

22. Anna Kendrick

23. Blake Lively

24. Shenae Grimes

25. Kelly Osbourne

26. Elle Fanning

27. Emma Stone

28. Selena Gomez

29. Florence Welch

30. Lauren Conrad

31. Dree Hemingway

32. Jessica Szohr

33. America Ferrera

34. Gillian Zinser

35. Katy Perry

36. Agyness Deyn

37. Mila Kunis

38. Nina Dobrev

39. Lily Collins

40. Rihanna

41. Maghertia Missoni

42. Vanessa Hudgens

43. Keke Palmer

44. Sarah Hyland

45. Mia Wasikowska

46. Lucy Hale

47. Jessica Stroup

48. Amber Riley

49. Anne Hathaway

50. Sienna Miller

Any glaring omissions? Any confusing selections? Any one know who Katy Perry had to sleep with to make this list?

Jake and Anne Threeway for EW

Lester Brathwaite — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 16:40:47 +0000

Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway get all nakey on the cover of Entertainment Weekly, shot by James White on three separate covers: romantic, giggly and repressed sexuality.

Anne Hathaway Wearing Balmain’s Sloppy Seconds (Or Sevenths)

Hilary Beck — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 19:08:06 +0000

Well well well. Fancy seeing you around here, dress that’s been on nearly every damn magazine cover this season.

Not that Anne Hathaway isn’t totally working this now infamous gold Balmain number on Elle UK’s December cover. But, I mean…she’s got a wee bit of competition already…

Execs at Balmain are definitely rubbing their hands with glee–they’re pretty keen on this overexposure. As a label spokeswoman told the Daily Mail, “None of the magazines asked for cover exclusivity. The first cover came out in June so other magazines had seen it. No one has complained so there is no drama at all.”

Okay, no one complained. But if I worked at Elle UK and shelled out exorbitant prices (Balmain don’t come cheap) for a dress after six girls got their hands on it, I’d sure feel like an idiot right now.

Anne Hathaway Continues To Shine For Vogue

McArthur Joseph — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 18:02:38 +0000

Anne Hathaway Impresses On The Cover Of Vogue

McArthur Joseph — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 19:38:07 +0000

I usually wouldn’t put “effortless beauty” and Anne Hathaway in the same sentence but in this instance I can’t deny her. She radiates off the cover in that beautiful gown.

FASHION FACEOFF: Anna Hathaway vs. Anna Paquin in Marc Jacobs

Missa Stumpf, TrendSpotter/ Designer — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 17:28:10 +0000

Actress Anne Hathaway and True Blood star Anna Paquin were both spotted in very similar Marc Jacob designs. While Anne’s is strapless, Anna’s covers most of her shoulders.

I like the way Anne styled hers, except I’m not the biggest fan of her hair in this outfit. The dress worked really well with her skin tone and figure. I liked how it was a bit shorter on Anne compared to how it fit Anna.

Which way do you prefer the dress & who do you think pulled it off best?

MOMENTS OF STYLE: Anne Hathaway at “A Single Man” Cocktail Party

Saynt — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 18:34:47 +0000

There are few celebrities which get an A+ in my book. Anne Hathaway is one of them.

The 27-year old beauty had a good night in Hollywood with friends Julianne Moore and Selma Blair celebrating Tom Ford’s groundbreaking film “A Single Man”. She looked amazing. I wish she could just bottle that up and sell it at Saks. I’d buy a bottle.

QUEST: Who’s Hotter Anne Hathaway or Megan Fox?

Corey Moran — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 20:01:29 +0000

This may be the most random QUEST we’ve posted on the site, but there is clearly a good reason behind it. Earlier today Daniel and I got in an argument over who is hotter, and well it has caused a rift in the office. The cool (and clearly logical) kids of the office, Hillary and myself, are going with Anne Hathaway, due mostly to that fact that we are choosing natural beauty over plastic surgery.

Daniel and Rebecca (due to marriage Rebecca is forced to agree with him) chose Megan Fox because apparently “she defines sex.” My rebuttal, plastic surgery can make anyone hot!

So let’s hear it indies Hathaway or Fox? You know where our hearts are set.

Anne Hathaway To Replace Vicky Beckham As Face of Marc Jacobs

MORE ANNE HATHAWAY PHOTOS HERE

Rumor has it that Anne Hathaway has caught the eye of fave designer Marc Jacobs, and might replace Victoria Beckham as the face of the brand.

“Marc and Anne have forged a fast but very intense friendship and they’re going to start doing public appearances together soon,” a friend of the actress has revealed. “Anne hasn’t signed up to do any advertising yet but, by dressing her, Marc can infuse his line with a fresh but famous face and Anne can revamp her image. If it works well, Anne would be happy to model for some of Marc’s campaigns.”
