Sienna Miller Hates ‘Boho’
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
Sienna Miller hates her style being described as "boho." The Factory Girl actress - who is expecting her first child with partner Tom Sturridge - admits she previously went through a "hippie" phase of dressing and while she is now a fan of more tailored clothes, she thinks her laid-back attitude is still reflected in her wardrobe.
"I hate the word boho so much now. I suppose I am inherently bohemian in terms of the way I am as a person, and I definitely went through a hippie phase with my style. But I think it's really more about the way my personality is, than the way I dress. Now that I'm a bit older I do appreciate tailoring much more than I used to, but my personality is still very laid-back. Even when I put on a power suit I still look like a hippie, so I suppose it's true."
In February, Sienna and her sister Savannah announced they were stepping down from their label Twenty8Twelve and the actress revealed her sibling is already working hard on a new venture: "My sister is an amazing designer - she's working on her new label at the moment. In fact she's designing in my attic as we speak. I just can't wait to wear all of the pieces."

Rihanna Planning Male Fragrance
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,
Rihanna is working on a male fragrance - because she wants to wear it.
The 24-year-old star launched her debut perfume, Reb'l Fleur, last year before following it up with Rebelle, and has plans to expand the range further in the coming months.
"Definitely a fashion line, and I have two fragrances out plus I'm working on a male scent. But it will be unisex, because I love wearing men's fragrances. You know how you love to smell like your boyfriend all day?" she said when asked about what she's working on next.
The Battleship star also admitted to feeling insecure about her legs but has learned to embrace her flaws: "I'm insecure about my legs. Everyone wants to have slim, tones legs and I'm the same. I do weights but I don't want my legs to bulk up, so I do a lot of cardio too. I really don't think anyone is 100 per cent body confident. But you get comfortable with the fact that it's your body and it is what it is. You just want what someone else has, but that doesn't mean what you have isn't beautiful. Because other people always want what you have too. You have to just learn to accept your body."
H&M Confirm & Other Stories Luxury Label
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
H&M's new luxury label will be called '& Other Stories.'
The Swedish company Hennes and Mauritz - which owns COS, Monki and Cheap Monday along with the high street retailer - have registered trademarks and a logo for the new brand.
"It is correct that H&M will launch a new chain in 2013 called & other stories, but this is all the available information we have as of today," said press officer Hacan Andersson. The company is said to be planning the new project after it launches its sustainable red carpet range, entitled the Exclusive Glamour Conscious Collection, on April 12. Designer Behnaz Aram, who joined the company's design team in August last year, is thought to be heading up the new luxury brand.
Michelle Williams has already shown her support for the Exclusive Glamour Conscious Collection line, wearing one of its monochrome floor-length gowns to the BAFTAs in February this year. "H&M approached Michelle Williams' stylist Kate Young and they showed great interest from the start. We felt that this was a fantastic opportunity and a new and exciting way to show our design," an H&M representative previously said, speaking about Michelle.

Natalie Portman Chooses Charity Dior Lipstick
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, News,
A lipstick chosen by Natalie Portman for Dior will give its proceeds to the Free the Child Foundation.
The Oscar-winning actress - who is the face of Miss Dior fragrance and Diorskin Nude foundation - is an ambassador for the charity, which helps liberate children from poverty, and chose it to receive money made from the sale of Rouge Dior's Nude Grege lipstick.
She revealed she picked the shade due to its number 169 having a special meaning to her: "Six is the month that my whole family was born in -- everyone was born in June. We're all June babies. Nine is a magic number, and one is my son - his name is one in Hebrew, Aleph."
Natalie - who is married to ballet dancer Benjamin Millepied - has a long history with Dior, and recently auctioned off a vintage 1954 dress by the house she wore to the Oscars this year.
Pregnant Kourtney Kardashian Defends New Hair Color
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Hairstyles, Health & Beauty,
Pregnant Kourtney Kardashian insists she has lightened her hair in a baby-safe way.
The reality star - who is expecting her second child with partner Scott Disick - defended her decision to highlight her naturally dark tresses, arguing she did her research beforehand.
"I followed all of the guidelines from my doctor and took the proper precautions necessary. I highlighted my hair (which is considered the safest form of hair color while pregnant) and NOT to the root, so nothing ever touched my scalp. I also used products that did not contain any ammonia. It is also recommended to be in a well-ventilated area as well as being at least in your second trimester, and I followed both of those rules. Anyone who knows anything about me knows that I take caution in all the products I use all the time, but especially when pregnant," she said.

Emmy Rossum Doesn’t Use a Stylist
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,
Emmy Rossum doesn't use a stylist. The Shameless star has an impressive two walk-in closets in her Hollywood home, but says she has used her own contacts to help fill them.
"I surf the Web to see the runway shows and then figure out who the fashion publicists are and e-mail them myself," she said.
Emmy says she likes to experiment with her look but admits the risk doesn't always come off. The 25-year-old beauty says she once wore Swarovski crystals on her eyelids to a high-profile event in 2007 and has never lived the look down.
"Anytime you Google 'bad celebrity makeup,' that comes up. I looked as if a tranny clown pooped on my eyes! But I think it's good to take chances," she said.
Emmy also admitted she doesn't get to dress up that much when she's playing her Shameless alter-ego Fiona Gallagher: "It's changed my thoughts on beauty because Fiona is not about perfection. She just looks real, and I think people find that beautiful."
Ashley Greene: I’m Not a Fashion Icon
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
Ashley Greene doesn't consider herself to be a style icon. The 25-year-old Twilight actress - who is the face of DKNY and DKNY Jeans - admits she grew up in shorts and flip flops and doesn't see herself as much of a fashion guru.
"It's certainly something that I've read and people have voiced that they do consider me one of their fashion icons, and it's really flattering and I'm really thankful for it. But it's always interesting to me - growing up in Jacksonville, Florida, I never considered myself a fashion icon at all, or anything even close," she said.
But since hitting the big time, Ashley has been able to trade her beach wear for designer gowns and expensive jewelry - a luxury she fully appreciates: "It's really fun for me to be able to be exposed to the red carpet and the dresses and the clothing, and working with Donna [Karan], because it's broadened my horizons. And now other people are responding to the things I'm wearing, so it's fun for me, too."

Jennifer Lawrence ‘Laughs Off’ Weight Insults
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,
Jennifer Lawrence has laughed off suggestions that she looks "chubby" in The Hunger Games.
The 21-year-old actress - who portrays heroine Katniss Everdeen in the movie - thinks it's "hilarious" that people are suggesting she is too chunky to play the character, as she thinks it promotes an unhealthy lifestyle to young girls.
"Jennifer told me, 'This is hilarious. First, people say how so many actresses in Hollywood look anorexic, and now they are criticizing me for looking normal. Thin body images are too often adopted by young girls and women thanks to what they are constantly being shown as being attractive," a source close to the actress said.
Comments from film critic Todd McCarthy in which he referred to the Winter's Bone star as possessing "lingering baby fat" and Jeffrey Wells calling her a "big-boned lady" unleashed a torrent of furious responses from Hunger Games fans.

Salma Hayek Dresses for Husband
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,
Salma Hayek likes to dress up for her husband. The Grown Ups star - who married French billionaire François-Henri Pinault in 2009 - enjoys trying out new looks in a bid to catch her other half's eye.
"If you're in love with someone, you always want to conquer them anew. Even if we don't go out, I like to look nice for him. He inspires me. There are men who don't notice what you're wearing, and that's cool. But when you make an effort, François appreciates it so much," she said.
The couple now live in Paris with their four-year-old daughter Valentina, although Salma admits she is regularly blown away by the standards of style on the French capital.
"It's nuts, how good the people look. Nobody's overweight, everybody's well dressed, no tennis shoes - somehow, even though they walk all over the place, everyone manages to wear real shoes, nice shoes," she told Lucky magazine.
