No Fashion Regrets for Eva Green
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
Not that she’s been much of a fashion police target, Eva Green never regrets an outfit.
The Casino Royale actress - who is known for her sexy dress sense - doesn’t believe in worrying about clothes she has previously worn as “it’s simply not worth it.” Discussing her wardrobe and style, Eva said, “I never regret anything I wear - it’s simply not worth it. When I don’t know what to wear, I put on skinny black jeans and an oversized cashmere jumper - preferably from Donna Karen. If I can face it, I’ll put on heels.”
While she loves clothes, her favorite it is a black leather Dior bag and never leaves home without it. She added, “It has my initials on it which makes it extra special. I take it everywhere; it’s my Mary Poppins bag.”
The 29-year-old beauty also revealed Marlene Dietrich is her style icon: “She was so feminine but at the same time, still strong. I’m crazy about that everyday 30s look. I loved all the costumes in my new film Cracks. I wore beautiful high-waisted trouser suits, headscarves and gorgeous printed silks. The costume designer Alison Byrne is a genius.”

Matthew Williamson to Launch Menswear
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Men,
Matthew Williamson is venturing into menswear.
The British designer, who dresses the likes of actress Sienna Miller and TV presenter Cat Deeley, is heading into the world of men’s clothes following on from a successful collection with high street store H&M.
“I wanted to start a menswear line of slim-fitting, luxury cashmere jumpers in a range of great colors. I know these jumpers will become season-less staples in my own wardrobe. Cashmere and silk printed scarves and hand-beaded T-shirts compliment the line and form a solid foundation for the collection to grow next season.”
The clothes, which will be unveiled for Spring/Summer 2010, will be expanded seasonally and will be available at London’s Harrods department store and Matthew Williamson shops.
Matthew previously revealed that his passion for fashion started at an early age: “I wanted to be a designer from the age of about 11. There was never any question in my mind. I just knew. I remember my sister couldn’t decide if she wanted to be a nurse or a teacher, and I was like, ‘How do you not know?’”
Kate Moss Piles on Holiday Pounds
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors,
We weren’t the only ones worried about our additional holiday pounds—Kate Moss is worried about her figure after over-indulging in Thailand.
The supermodel, who is currently in the Asian country on an extended New Year break, has been tucking into plates of fried food and is now starting to regret her actions after piling on some pounds.
A friend of the 35-year-old beauty said, “Kate’s been a bit naughty on holiday. She decided to spoil herself, so she’s been ordering egg and chips a hell of a lot. Now she’s staring to regret it. She’s having to leave the top button of her jeans undone in the evening and is worried she’s put on timber.”
Although she has been over-indulging with the food, Kate has been exercising on her break as she recently learned a synchronized swimming routine.
A source said, “Kate has spent five days solid preparing for this synchronized swimming display. Underwater music was piped through her hotel pool, allowing her to practice her moves and refine the art of water ballet.” The catwalk queen is taking the swimming so seriously that she has been studying from a guide book to help her perfect her moves.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,
Country and pop sensation Taylor Swift doesn’t like her body.
Despite her glittering film and music career, the 20-year-old starlet isn’t confident with her appearance and is inundated with insecurities about her face and body.
“I definitely have body issues, but everybody does. When you come to the realization that everybody does that - even the people that I consider flawless - then you can start to live with the way you are. I’ve read interviews with some of the most beautiful women who have insecurities. And you look at them and you’re like ‘How do you have?’ Name one thing wrong with yourself and they could name a handful.”
However, Taylor has vowed to beat her insecurities and learn to love her body.
“I don’t really want to be that way. I’d like to try to maintain confidence and stay okay with who I am because I don’t really want to change it. Everybody has insecurities - everybody - but hopefully you can overcome them.”

Once she realized that her Snuggie didn’t possess magical weight loss powers, Kendra Wilkinson started to hit the gym.
The 24-year-old former Playboy model - who gave birth to her first son Hank Randall Baskett IV on December 11 - is keen to regain her pre-pregnancy figure and can’t wait to get back to exercise.
Writing on her Twitter, she said, “2 more wks til i get to hit it hard at the gym..and sex of course(IUD) ;D lol. yayy. hows everyone doin today? (sic)”
Despite being told by doctors that she could not work out for six weeks following the Caesarean birth of her son, she was thinking about ways to get back into shape soon after he was born. Kendra - who married husband Hank Baskett in June 2009 - said, “I’m going to be a hot mama. The doctor said I can’t exercise until after six weeks but getting up and down in the middle of the night - feeding him, changing him when he’s crying - is my ab workout already!”
