Fashion Icon Yves Saint Lauren Dies at 71
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Clothing, Style, Obituaries,
World-renowned, revolutionary French clothing designer Yves Saint Laurent died yesterday at the age of 71.
Saint Laurent’s long-time companion, Pierre Berge, revealed to the press that the fashion icon had been diagnosed with a brain tumor last year, passing away quietly in Paris on Sunday.
The living legend’s real career began when he became Christian Dior‘s right-hand man, ultimately succeeding the fashion giant. Saint Laurent eventually founded his own line, proving to be just as innovative and revolutionary in women’s fashion as his predecessor. His companion, Berge, said it best: “Chanel gave women freedom. Yves Saint Laurent gave them power.”

The Fashion Scene at Cannes
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Clothing, Fashion Police, Hair Styles, Red Carpet, Style, Photos,
The Cannes Film Festival is officially underway, and that means it’s time to talk about red carpet fashion once more. Celebs flock to Cannes to see and be seen, even those who have absolutely no movies debuting at the glittering event. Some were a sight to behold…others were just a sight.
Eva Longoria Parker was totally glam on the red carpet in turquoise, a floor-length number from Versace. Angelina Jolie, who can’t hope to hide her baby belly, wore a flowing green number with an empress-cut waist (Max Azaria).

At last night’s Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala, female celebrities of every caliber had the chance to put on their finest. (Their escorts did their best to look acceptable in their suits.)
Unfortunately, most of the dresses I saw this year were either outright boring or simply ugly. You can view more of the lowlights - and some of the highlights - after the jump.

Thanks to her upcoming Iron Man movie, the actress has been the focus of a lot of press recently. And while it’s been hard not to notice her endless supply of questionable shoes, her love of strange footwear has actually been going on for quite some time.
You can check out some of her other choices after the jump.

Matthew Broderick in Need of Sarah Jessica’s Styling Help
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Red Carpet, Style, Photos, Editorials,
These are two pics of actor Matthew Broderick taken in recent weeks.
Are you seriously telling me that his wife - the fashionable Sarah Jessica Parker - let him out of the house with those shoes?
Seriously. Those awful things rank right up there with Britney Spears’ hideous brown boots.
Katie Holmes: Fashion Designer?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Clothing, Style, Rumors,
Katie Holmes has apparently proven that she knows how to spend money on clothes, so that must mean she’s qualified to design them as well. Right?
A recent issue of OK! magazine reported that Mrs. Tom Cruise was in line to have her own label under the Giorgio Armani name. The collection, supposedly titled ‘Katie Holmes for Armani’, would have eventually included items for toddlers, kids and women. It was a story too ridiculous it was probably true. But surprisingly, it wasn’t. Or isn’t yet.
According to Holmes’ rep, the designing rumor was just that - a rumor. “Katie Holmes is not designing a children’s clothing line for Giorgio Armani.” Who knows? Maybe her rep planted the story in hopes of making it true. I mean, really—what else does Katie have going on? She’s already made a mess of her acting career (choosing to come back in Mad Money and not the Batman sequel was not a smart move)—she might as well do something else.

Get the Amy Winehouse Look
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Clothing, Style,
Here’s a tidbit that almost seems too ridiculous to be true: Amy Winehouse is coming out with her own makeup and clothing lines.
Seriously.
According to The Sun, the singer will soon be speaking to fashion and cosmetic execs about this new financial venture. If wannabes are going to (inexplicably) imitate her, why not make them pay to do it? Possible items linked to Winehouse’s name include hairspray (duh), scarves (to keep the bees in the hive), perfume (to mask the unwashed scent) and eyeliner (double duh).
Products not included? Brushes, shampoo, tattoos, crack pipes and disintegrating ballerina flats.

The Oscars: Red Carpet Fashion
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Clothing, Fashion Police, Hair Styles, Red Carpet, Style, Photos,
For me, award season isn’t about who walks away with a statuette - it’s about what they’re wearing when they’re doing it. Who looked great? Who should have stayed home? And who stole the show away from the actual show? That’s right - it’s time for the Oscars red carpet round up.
Pregnant Jessica Alba arrived on the red carpet in a dark maroon, empress-cut waisted dress that gave her baby bump plenty of room. Everything was okay but the top of the dress, which exploded in a profusion of feathers that made her gown look less like couture and more like curtains haphazardly wrapped around her body.
Keri Russell wore a double-stranded necklace that somehow didn’t complement her shell-colored ball gown. The color wasn’t right for Keri, and the unembellished look didn’t quite reach the elegant look Russell was no doubt going for.

On last night’s episode of Late Night with Conan O’Brien, fashion guru Tim Gunn gave his honest opinions on two big political figures: President George Bush and Senator Hillary Clinton.
The Project Runway mentor made a comment on Bush’s ill-advised presidential socks-with-crocs faux pas and then proceeded to call Clinton’s look “man-ish”. He also said her style reflected gender issues. Ouch!
Which politician does Gunn praise? Check out the video below.
