Wintour and Vogue have reportedly been “instrumental” in coercing assembling the 22 designers, including Marc Jacobs, Diane von Furstenberg, Tory Burch, Alexander Wang, Tracy Reese, Joseph Altuzarra, Rachel Roy, Narciso Rodriguez, Rag & Bone and Jason Wu. Wary of alienating Republican voters from their brands, LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton initially nixed their labels from participating in Runway to Win, but Marc Jacobs — of which LVMH owns a majority stake — designed his T-shirt anyway, “following pressure from the magazine,” according to WWD.

On the other hand, Donna Karan, also owned by LVMH, did not bow to Wintour and is therefore not participating in the fundraising effort. And therefore won’t be seen in Vogue anytime soon…Kidding!…Not really.

Runway to Win’s e-commerce site, runwaytowin.com, officially launches on Thursday, but Wintour’s re-election campaign is not stopping there. She will also co-host an Obama fundraiser with actress Scarlett Johansson in February — which I’m taking as a sign that ScarJo will be on the cover around that time. See, kids, and you thought fashion and politics had nothing in common. They both require a steely nerve, a willingness to compromise and the ability to turn a blind eye to corruption. The blatant abuse of power doesn’t hurt either. [WWD]

David Armstrong

David Armstrong grew up outside Boston and traveled between his hometown and New York City when he studied at Cooper Union. After receiving his BFA at Tufts University in 1988, he moved to NYC permanently where he began work as a photographer. Starting out with black and white portraits, Armstrong began to experiment with landscapes and cityscapes in the nineties. Luckily, he also has a distinct and introspective eye for fashion – his editorials are moving and emotionally-charged.

- Some bitter queens at Chanel USA apparently had some “grumblings” over Gossip Girl star Blake Lively being named the brand’s Purse Ambassador — considering her look “off-brand.” Karl Lagerfeld, meanwhile, immediately had the disgruntled employees taken out back and turned into Chanel quilted handbags that he later gifted to Blake as a token of his esteem.

- Beyoncé has dropped her father Matthew Knowles as her manager after overseeing her career from Destiny’s baby to an Independent Woman [Part 1]. Now if only we can convince her to drop her mom Tina as a stylist…and then maybe bomb the House of Dereon…we can get the U.S.S. Fierce back on course. [Popeater]

- For Halloween, an industrious British gay — I’d say “flaming fag” but that’s completely something else over there — super-glued a tiny sequined hat to his adorable little, queer head. When the hat wouldn’t come off he visited the ER where they mercifully cut off part of the chapeau, leaving only the brim which came off hours later. Personally, I don’t see the problem with a tiny sequined hat permanently affixed to my head. Some say problem, I say party…24-7. [Huff Po]

- Talking plastic replicas of Jean Paul Gaultier and some of his famous clients will adorn the designer’s retrospective at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Montréal this June. Also on display will be Madonna’s famous conical bras which you can use to pierce those talking plastic replicas in their creepy talking plastic faces. [The Cut]

- Reese Witherspoon got married to someone who’s not Ryan Phillippe so I clearly don’t care, but seems someone couldn’t help stealing the spotlight; among the guests at the wedding were new couple, Oscar-winner Sean Penn and Tony-winner (that must be a type-o) Scarlett Johansson. Let’s see, Sean Penn doesn’t have the greatest track record with women, so I’m just going to sit this one out and wait for the inevitable police report. [Popeater]

Photographed by Peter Lindbergh and styled by Nicoletta Santoro, the girl once named “Sexiest Woman Alive” by Esquire magazine dons sexy slips and lacy dresses to score a 9.9 on the “OMG she’s effin’ hot” scale. (Ten-point scale, of course.)

Ranked Second is none other than the voice of one of the ugliest girls on television, according to her father, Peter Griffin. Mila Kunis has stepped out from behind the voiceover and back into the spotlight to remind us why Ashton Kutcher‘s character got it on with her for so many years on That 70′s Show. Miss Black Swan understudy, you are number 2.

Numbero Tres is hands down the hottest mom on television. Sofia Vergara flaunts her assets, like that Colombian accent, on Modern Family once a week. Men are turning their TV on in droves every Wednesday night for at least a couple of large, well placed reasons.

The rest of the results may surprise you. Scarlett Johansson dropped to number 7, and men love her. I mean, have you seen, like, every other issue of GQ? Emma Watson ranked #17, which is amazing for a girl who’s just played Hermione Granger for a decade. And can you believe that Angelina Jolie didn’t even make the top 20? So, the Top 99 Women (of ?) have been judged. Men can still go on and decide whether these ladies deserve to be moved up or down on the list. Let’s see if anything changes.

A “friend” of Johansson says that Scarlett still has “intense feelings for Ryan and feels Sandra isn’t respecting that at all.” Based solely on her film work, I doubt that ScarJo is even capable of an intense feeling, but let’s continue on…

According to this “friend,” Scarlett is having second thoughts and is still holding out hopes for a reconciliation. But as you can probably tell from that subtle Photoshopping above, Sandy’s “relationship” with Ryan has ENDED THAT HOPE.

In spite Johansson’s supposed accusations, Sandy Bulls told bosom buddy Al Roker on Sunday’s Golden Globe red carpet that she and Ryan are not “lovahs” after all:

“I think there will be a collective sigh amongst women across the United States when I say he’s not my lovah…he’s just an amazing friend I’ve had for 10 years and I hope there’s more friendship like that.”

Translation: “Who’s the man-hungry tramp now, beeyotch!”

Clearly, there’s only one way to solve this once and for all; someone call Maury Povich and tell him to clear his schedule for the rest of the week.

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.

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+.

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

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

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-

What are your thoughts on the best-dressed celebs at the 2011 Golden Globes?

Well, I’m thinking of a word to describe Scarlett that rhymes with witch, but since I’m not a party in this situation, I will reserve judgement…

…

Oh, who am I kidding, it’s the internet. Ryan’s much better off to be hot and Canadian and single all by himself.

Relationships, particularly with actresses (and I use that term lightly in reference to ScarJo)  are pointless. Whatever happened to causal sex with no obligations or expectations?

It’s a lot cheaper than a divorce and wastes less time than a sham marriage.

LINK LOVE: Us Weekly

Scarlett allegedly initiated the split after the strain of being apart so often inevitably took its toll. In a released statement, the couple stated:

“After long and careful consideration on both our parts, we’ve decided to end our marriage. We entered our relationship with love and it’s with love and kindness we leave it. While privacy isn’t expected, it’s certainly appreciated.”

Poor kids. How will they ever get over this crushing blow? Besides the obvious: crushing up blow. I guess they’ll have to console themselves with their successful careers, enviable beauty and gobs of money.

How will they ever survive?

Meanwhile, don’t these “models” look like the Canal Street knock-offs of Cheyenne Jackson and ScarJo, or is it just me?

Quote the Iggy:

“She looks like me, and she’s the only one with enough attitude too. They could tape her boobs up or something. She’s been in jail at the right age and everything, so I think she could do it.”

He’s kind of got a point. Also, an iconic gender-bending role such as that of the lead Stooge would put LiLo back on the Hollywood star map and give her the comeback I’ve secretly been praying for while burning effigies of Scarlett Johansson on my fire escape.

Now the only problem is booking the Lohan in between rehab/jail/community service stints. On second thought, this could take a while…

The phenomenal actress had this to say during her interview with the mag:

On her social life: “You’re not going to find me at 4 a.m. hitting up the club, bottle full of bub…Maybe on a rare occasion. But I’ve just never been much of a clubby, nightlife kind of person…I’m not a social butterfly. I’ve never been part of a scandal that was really juicy.”

On cooking: “I like cooking alone- I find it very therapeutic. I put on some music, maybe have a glass of wine, and make something like a turkey Bolognese or a nice frittata.”

On marriage: “I mean, you’re married and suddenly you have your own family. There’s a nice comfort in that. That part of your life is certain, in a way. You’ve got your home in that other person.”

I have no idea how she manages to stay so grounded married to Ryan Reynolds and being incredibly successful,

One of the big trends being seen on & off the runway is cat eye sunglasses. Alexander Wang’s spring collection showed some severe winged shades, with a metallic frame. Other designers, like Sonia Rykiel and Giles Deacon, had embellished frames.

If you’re looking for a more classic look that’s still eye-catching, then the pairs that Nikki Hilton and Scarlett Johansson wore would be perfect.

I’m loving this throw back to the 50s with a new, fresh twist.

Scarlett Johansson’s latest campaign leaves her looking a little blank in the face. Love her still, but I feel like she’s looking a little more zombie than usual, but seriously, she’s still hot.

I’m not Scar-Jo’s biggest fan because every single picture I see of her just seems to emphasize the enormity of her lips. However, she really does look stunning in the new Mango campaign. Her lips even look like normal-people lips! Perhaps its the weird blueish-purpleish lighting that does the trick…

Scarlett Goes Wild for January’s issue of Harper’s Bazaar.

Although her singing career might need a few lessons she sure knows how to look good in some animal print. This lioness takes over Harper’s Bazaar Magazine with a very high fashion pounce. Check inside for her spread as well as her support towards the (RED) campaign.

* On one of her campaign trips to Africa:

“In Rwanda, I’d been warned that we might see disturbing things, and that some people might be close to death. So I had a bit of apprehension walking into the first hospital. But I soon realised that you’re standing before people. They might be very ill, but they’re just people like everyone else. Suddenly you’re not aware of how you’re feeling, how you’re going to look. If you let your guard down and stop being aware of yourself, you’re able to really connect with people and listen while they tell their stories.”

* On the strength of women:

“I’ve always found that women have power in numbers. We draw strength from the support of other women. In some cultures, girls can be seen as a burden to a family because of the need to pay out a dowry when they marry, and they are vulnerable to all kinds of abuse. When I visited shelters for female victims of violence in India, I found that a lot of the women had been raped, even at home. That’s still very taboo. Even in the United States, it’s hard to talk about being sexually abused by your husband or your boyfriend. So being able to find solace in support groups makes a huge difference.”

* On her newfound appreciation of the simple things:

“You do gain a certain perspective when you see how people get by with so little and how they’re just happy to have simple things like a well with clean water nearby. I felt lucky just to live somewhere that has running water. Suddenly a toilet seems such a luxury. It’s miraculous! You really are thankful for the small things.”

We’ve got the first sneak peek at the Scarlett Johansson for Mango ad campaign. Muy Caliente!!!

1. The Golden Compass- Nicole Kidman is so killer in this movie. All of the floor length, fur-lined coats and the glamourous dresses are to die for.

 

2. Loser- So much 90s grunge, so much goth from Mena Suvari, so many motorcycle pads. We love it.

3. Once Upon A Time In Mexico- Enrique pre-mole removal days+Johnny Dep post 21 Jump Street days = good movie. This is a great good cop, bad cop flick with Spanish-infused styling.

 
4. Romeo and Juliet- The prime Leo days, the costuming for this modern-day Romeo and Juliet film is flawless. Minus the sole patch

 

5. Rear Window- This is one of my favorite films ever, detection at it’s finest, and tons of old-school glamour (Grace Kelly is a dream!). This trailer isn’t too good, check out the film for the full effect

 

6. Black Dahlia- Old school glam, total pinup style. We love Scarlett Johansson in red lipstick.

7. Gangs of New York- Leo does it again! (and how sweet is that part when all of those guys have top hats on)

8. Cruel Intentions- Ultimate country club kids, plus Sarah Michelle Geller wears a ton of sexy lingerie.

9. Sky Captain- I’m a huge fan of women being badasses. Gwenyth is still total glam and sexy while being a badass, and Angelina is just, well, being as hot as she is in every other movie.

 

10. Domino-Kiera Knightly as a bounty hunter that still wears red lipstick despite being a total badass? Win.

 

11. Hedwig and the Angry Inch- We had to include one more on this list because Hedwig has the craziest rock-tranny style ever! Not only that, the members of ‘her’ band make great rock stars (for the 80s), and then there is her little goth boyfriend.  All sorts of styles going on in this film, and all sorts of greatness

What films do you think have the best style?
