Tyra Pays Tribute to Alexander McQueen
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News,
Tyra Banks took time out of her America’s Next Top Model schedule to pay homage to the late Alexander McQueen by way of her own photo shoot.
“I wanted to do a photo shoot decked out in H2T McQueen. McQueen was considered royalty in the fashion community. I feel like a queen whenever I wear his clothes (especially the stunning blue dress I wore for this shoot)!... I would like to think that he would have loved these photos.”
Although she looks fabulous, I can’t say that it looks like she tried much, considering it looks more like a look book than a tribute photo shoot for a man who designed such dramatic, gorgeous creations. Check out the photos after the jump and decide for yourself. If not for Tyra, check out Andre Leon Talley’s guest appearance as her king!

Patricia Field doesn’t pay attention to trends.
The Sex and the City stylist - who has worked on all six seasons and two films of the romantic comedy franchise - says she wants to create a classic look for the films so they never go out of style.
“I’m not mindful of trends. I kind of run away from that because what’s going to be there next season is not going to be there the season after. And movies last a long time. If you look at Breakfast at Tiffany’s today, it looks absolutely gorgeous. You don’t say it looks out of style.”
The New York-based fashionista also claims she “hooks” the looks of the main characters - Carrie Bradshaw, Samantha Jones, Charlotte York and Miranda Hobbes - around one particular story arch, and in Sex and the City 2 used the Middle East for inspiration:
“If you find your hook in the script you go with it. The main thing is they get invited to the Middle East by a sheik for a 10-star vacation. So this was my motivation. The anticipation of a trip that they never even could imagine.”
A-Listers Donate Designer Dresses For Haiti
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
When in Cannes, donate to a good cause! Penelope Cruz and other Hollywood celebs helped raised $333,000 for Haiti by selling their designer dresses this past week.
The 35-year-old beauty and jewelery maker Chopard raised the sum by organizing an auction for the Jenkins-Penn Haitian Relief Organization at the Cannes Film Festival. Donators to the auction included Anne Hathaway, Julia Roberts, Gisele Bundchen, Charlize Theron and Salma Hayek - who raised $21,000 alone for her burgundy Gucci gown, the first from the Italian brand’s new couture range.
An original sketch for the gown by Gucci’s creative director Frida Giannini was also sold alongside the creation. Other celebrities who gave outfits included Naomi Watts, Diane Kruger, Scarlett Johansson and Gwyneth Paltrow.
The Jenkins-Penn charity was created by Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn as a response to help the Caribbean nation in its recovery from twos earthquake in January this year. Around 230,000 people were killed and around 1 million made homeless as a result of the quakes.

Hip-hop artist Kelis launched a new Dior store in Shanghai after being personally requested by fashion designer John Galliano.
The “Acapella” singer flew straight from London to the Chinese city to introduce Galliano’s Spring/Summer 2011 resort collection for Christian Dior - before attending an exclusive after party.

Sometimes less really isn’t more.
While I laud her for a simple look, singer Lily Allen is looking a little too dated and possibly in need of an apron. Allen showed up to the Ivor Novello songwriting awards in this cream-colored frock with a pair of ruby red shoes peeking from beneath the flowing fabric. I can’t decide if it’s the mismatched nail polish and shoes or the overall Middle Age peasant vibe that distresses me. For someone who’s a favorite of Karl Lagerfeld, I would think that she’d know better!
Costume mishap or princess chic?

Items Du Jour: Miley Makes a Match, Janet Gets Short, and Angels Get Ads
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Hairstyles, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors, Sales,
- While her Wal-Mart lines aren’t faring well in sales, Miley Cyrus isn’t looking too worried these days, as she flashes her leopard print bra for the public while picking up some grub. While the matching prints are a bit tacky, it’s nice to see that she’s actually wearing a bra.
- Janet Jackson was spotted in London yesterday, having chopped off her locks. While I was never a fan of the Amber Rose trend, I can’t say that I’m hating Jackson’s look!
- I love Michelle Williams and I love Chanel, but when the pair were together for the after party of her film Blue Valentine‘s premiere, I fell out of love for what looked like Grandma’s satin bed sheet vengeance. Her new short hair style is killer, but not with the plain fabric wrap.

- Kate Moss have some fairly interesting ideas, but I do have to give it to her for innovation. The Topshop designer attended the unveiling of her latest collection in one of her own pieces, but she wore it backwards! She has this uncanny ability to wear anything so well that I doubt that anyone would’ve known had it not been in her line.

Blake Lively Trained With Cirque du Soleil for Role
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,
Actress and stylish celebrity Blake Lively credits gymnastic acrobatics for her newly-toned figure.
The Gossip Girl actress had to get in shape to play villainess Star Sapphire in new movie Green Lantern and spent hours training with members from the Cirque du Soleil to give her the body she needed.
She told Vogue, “All I want is to be a hero to my nephews and nieces. I’m going to be the coolest aunt ever. Our director likes it real - the fights close and dirty. I’m 40 feet in the air, spiralling around. That’s the best workout you can ever do because it’s all core. You do that for ten minutes and you should see your body the next day! It’s so exhilarating, so thrilling - and nauseating.”
The 22-year-old beauty’s personal trainer also confirmed Blake had put in that extra bit of effort to get into tip-top shape. Bobby Strom told Us Weekly, “She always looks good. But she has to do stunts, so we’re focusing on core and strength training. Her workout routine includes four-day-a-week, 90-minute circuit training sessions full of planks, push- ups and walking lunges in a gym near the film’s New Orleans set. She looked at her stomach and said, ‘I have abs!’”
Mischa Barton Modeling Bridal Wear
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Models, News,
Ever wonder what happened to Mischa Barton? Well, it appears as if she stopped picking her nose and ugly floral print shorts to model bridal wear!
The O.C. star seems to have ditched her acting career for the runway, showing up at Rosa Clara’s 2011 bridal show in Barcelona yesterday. Now that she’s a model, let’s hope that she can keep her incessant weight fluctuation down and avoid any mysterious dental issues that caused her those puffy cheeks!

First Look: Lady Gaga Cuts Back on Hair for Alejandro
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Hairstyles, News,
The first look at Lady Gaga‘s latest music video for “Alejandro” is out, and initial reactions aren’t too flattering. Whether it be a comparison to animated folks like Ronald McDonald or The Simpsons character Mr. Burns (when he played a vampire of course), our favorite fashionista isn’t pleasing everyone. Personally, I’m glad she cut back on the extravagant hair pieces—it’s nice to see a little more natural Gaga, on top of just doing something different than her usual fare.
