The 10 Most (and Least) Oscar-Worthy Gowns from Haute Couture Fashion Week

Lester Brathwaite — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 16:45:49 +0000

As many a starlet is aware, looks don’t always translate well from the runway to the red carpet. Nowhere is this more true than in haute couture. Sure, this gown costs $35,000, was constructed by a team of half-blind old ladies whose skills are so specialized they can be classified as endangered species and contains actual diamonds, but Joan Rivers still thinks you look like a refugee from some drag queen concentration camp. No, events like the Oscars require a little discretion and the simpler you keep it, the better. Of course, there are exceptions, but not every actress is a Charlize Theron, a Cate Blanchett, a Nicole Kidman or a Tilda Swinton — risk-takers who can pull off haute couture with the greatest of ease. For the rest of ‘em, here are 10 safe gowns sure to please along with 10 only the brave of soul and intrepid of style should even consider.

7 Silliest Clutches to Cling To

Jessica Lapidos — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 14:04:45 +0000

Clutches, to me, are rather silly in general. Why should I lose capacity of a hand or an arm as I carry my belongings in a tiny (fine, gorjuss) strapless bag? Give me a drink and suddenly whipping out a business card isn’t as smooth. Be that as it may, you’ll keep on keepin’ on with that clutch, so here are 7 of the silliest ways to do so right now. Kisses.

My last post talked about bringing a rather drab outfit up a few funk notches by adding in a boldly patterned stocking.

Well, let’s say there’s a run in your stocking and you need some sass backup? What better to catch the fall of a legally dead outfit than the most funked up handbag?

I’ll leave this post short and sweet, Judith Leiber does all the talking.

Saynt — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 17:30:31 +0000

There are so……many great bags out this season that I sometimes actually feel a lightheaded when looking at them. I personally prefer a little, or should I say, ALOT of detail on my bags of choice. The focus is on clutch bags today and Here are just a few of my favorites. From top to bottom the designers are, Sonia Rykiel python clutch….Roberto Cavalli snakeskin and diamante clutch (EXQUISITE)….Roberto Cavalli black jeweled clutch….Proenza Schouler Pochette’s x 2….Missoni Snakeskin clutch….Matthew Williamson python Pochette….Judith Leiber x 2 (love the cupcake)….Dries Van Noten x 2….Bulgari….Alexander McQueen x 2 (love, love, love the fringe clutch). The “jeweled daisy” clutch has a beautiful vintage look and is a sure favorite. Enjoy the view!

World’s Most Expensive Cupcake

Rebecca Alexander — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 17:54:27 +0000

Agreed that delicious, hot, chocolate cupcakes are the ultimate party food, but then do fashionistas and divas really care about the food at the parties? Nah! But then if you actually go ga-ga over the sight of choco cupcakes then here’s a luxurious alternative to display your love for the sinful treat. Whispered to be the World’s most expensive cupcake, obviously not an edible one though, women can dangle this Cupcake evening bag from Judith Leiber. Deliciously caked with loads of choco colored rocks and diamonds, this bag is designed to accommodate a stuff or two like a lipstick for a final touch up or a few bills to tip. And for $4295, who can dare to stuff it with insignificant stuff.
