Fashion Police: Picnic Ready Diane Kruger
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
A stylish look is never complete without a picnic basket…
A favorite of Karl Lagerfeld, it’s no surprise that model-turned-actress Diane Kruger appeared at the Chanel Cruise Show in St. Tropez last night. Kruger, who is the new face of Calvin Klein’s fragrance Beauty, paired a Chanel high-waisted bell-shaped skirt with a simple black tank and fedora in addition to the somewhat-out-of-place basket.
Over the top or just right for a prim and proper Chanel party?

Karl Lagerfeld Debuts Short Film Remember Now
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Models, News, Videos,
Karl Lagerfeld was joined by a host of beauties as he unveiled his new film last night.
The Chanel designer proudly premiered his short movie, Remember Now (check it out after the jump!), in the St. Tropez, South of France - just two days before the Cannes Film Festival - with Diane Kruger, Karolina Kurkova, Vanessa Paradis and Georgia May Jagger all there to show their support.
Karl - who is in town to show his Chanel Cruise collection - told WWD, “When I do a film, I see the movie before I’ve made it. I don’t make scripts because it’s written in my head. I like short one-liners.” The 17-minute film - which was screened at the town’s Cinema de la Renaissance - captures the good-natured summer hedonism of the beautiful area, which has become a playground for the rich and famous. Karl was allowed total control over the creative process and one of the stars of the film, Elisa Sednaoui, was impressed with his talents.
“Karl is a very spontaneous and creative director. He’s very responsive and alive for that. There’s no indecision, but he adapts himself,” Sednaoui said.

Carey Mulligan Donates BAFTA Dress to Oxfam
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
She’s as sweet in person as she is on screen! Carey Mulligan has donated her BAFTAs dress to charity.
The 24 year-old actress wore the black and white Vionnet gown to the prestigious ceremony in February - where she was named Best Actress for her role in An Education - but has now given it to Oxfam, to help raise money for the charity’s women’s projects.
“I’m honored to be able to donate my BAFTA dress to support Oxfam’s work helping women living in extreme poverty across the world.”
The dress will be displayed in a temporary Oxfam shop in the basement of London department store Selfridges for a week from Friday, and will be auctioned off with a starting price of $65. Shoppers at the pop-up store will be helped by a group of high-profile women headed by singer Annie Lennox. Funds raised from the sale of the dress will go to Oxfam’s women’s projects across the world including Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Democratic Republic of Congo, West Africa and South Africa. The projects help support and protect vulnerable women by campaigning against violence, giving them the chance of an education and helping in the fight against HIV and AIDS.

Low-Maintenance Amanda Seyfried
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Hairstyles, Health & Beauty, News,
Considering her attitude towards the Hollywood norm, it may not be hard to believe that Amanda Seyfried doesn’t own a hairdryer.
The Letters to Juliet actress is often voted as one of the world’s most stylish women, but admits she’s very low-maintenance and rarely spends time on her appearance. The blonde beauty said, “I don’t even have a blow dryer because I don’t dry my hair. I probably flat iron my hair once every six months.”
The 24-year-old star has only just recently discovered the benefits of wearing make-up in her everyday life, saying, “I just started wearing blusher and realize how much more alive I look with it on.”
As well as being a new-found cosmetic fan, Amanda - who is dating her Mamma Mia! co-star Dominic Cooper - loves to show off her lovely legs by donning a pair of high heels. She told InStyle Hair magazine, “I wear heels, my legs are long and they’re the one part of my body I really like. Though I never wear heels on the weekend.”

Armani Designs Alicia Keys Costumes
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
Giorgio Armani has designed Alicia Keys’ tour outfits.
The legendary designer created a custom-made wardrobe for the “Empire State Of Mind” singer for the European leg of her “Element of Freedom” concerts, which started last month. The items of clothing include a military leather jacket with crocodile print detailing, a one-shoulder silk chiffon gown in dark grey with intricate beading, and a stunning little black dress, complete with a cascade ruffle. All the outfits are decorated with Swarovski crystals, sequins and beading.
Alicia and Giorgio have been friends for a long time and enjoy working together. Talking about her relationship with the fashion legend, Alicia has previously said:
“My friendship with Giorgio Armani happened early on. He started sending me clothes and then we began working more closely for big events. The first major dress we designed together was for the Grammys in 2006. It was a fully beaded black Privee dress that weighed about a ton, but once it was on, it felt just gorgeous. When Giorgio fits me, he comes in like a magician and twirls around me three or four times, checking which bits need pulling in and what should be taken out. He’s totally, completely involved, and he’s very gentle - I think he just loves women. I keep all the dresses that he makes for me. Many define special moments in my life and career, and I figure, eventually, I will work out what I want to do with them all.”
Quote of the Day: Andre Leon Talley on Capes
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, News,
“So, when I went to America’s Next Top Model, and I wasn’t as thin as some people want me to be, I said to Ralph [Rucci], you’ve got to come up with a fabulous idea, and I wanted a pop of color because it’s TV, and on TV you can’t wear the same thing over and over—you’ve got to have a different outfit every week.”

Grungy Kristen Stewart
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,
Kristen Stewart is even more “grungy” in real life than her public persona.
The Twilight actress - famed for her jeans, T-shirt and trainers style - says she is an extremely casual dresser and rarely puts on glamorous clothes for the cameras. During a recent photo shoot she joked, “People think I’m grungy now - and I know that I’m being photographed!”
Kristen did admit, however, she enjoys picking out designer clothes when she does succumb to appearing in fashion shoots. She told Elle, “I’m fine when I’m chilling with my hair and makeup crew - I like choosing what I am going to wear.”
The actress - who is in a relationship with her Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson - also shuns the fame the film has brought her saying, “I can’t be by myself, and I like being by myself.”
Kristen recently defended her seemingly upset appearance in public -particularly on the red carpet at film premieres - claiming it is a reaction to the way people treat her: “People say that I’m miserable all the time. It’s not that I’m miserable, it’s just that somebody’s yelling at me. I literally, sometimes, have to keep myself from crying. It’s a physical reaction to the energy that’s thrown at you.”
