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.

One of the most striking women in film, on the red carpet and in fashion spreads, look no further for Swinton’s editorial excellence than this month’s W.

Elle, Embarrassed Over Miu Miu Dress Misshap, Defends The Choice

The Fashion Web — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 22:00:09 +0000

We know how sneaky magazine editors can be with their digital cameras and notebooks at fashion previews and shows, and alas, it’s all in vain! When The Guardian pointed out that three glossy fashion magazines (British Elle, British Vogue and W) all chose the same Miu Miu dress for their August covers, some editors were pretty embarrassed. British Elle took it a step further, though, defending the dress choice in a blog post last night.

Editor-in-chief Lorraine Candy explained that they chose the dress because it “appeals to the Elle reader who doesn’t take herself so seriously.” Elle editors should take a cue from their readers. You’re looking at the same merch as everyone else, ladies–if you pick a pretty dress that’s seasonal and eye-catching, chances are your nemesis will, too.

Don’t get caught in a real life version of “Who Wore It Best”: check out some of our favorite majorly discounted designer dresses from The Outnet that are almost gone:

The deep v-neck and embroidery detail on the bodice of this Catherine Malandrino Cotton cutout dress ($200, down from $500) make it a summertime stunner.

If you love Marchesa gowns on the red carpet, try this Notte by Marchesa Asymmetric crepe gown ($346.50, down from $990) at home. You will feel like just like Angelina Jolie – only slightly poorer.

This hot pink, printed Marc Jacobs Confetti brocade shift dress ($523.25, down from $1,495) is the ultimate cocktail party dress. Pair with

British Elle made a good cover girl choice for the December issue. Kate Beckinsale looks great in a MaxMara tuxedo jacket and Louis Vuitton platform pumps. In the spread shot by photographer Matthias Vriens, she looks young and fashionable, even without any pants!

Thanks Fabulousness for the photos.
