+ Just as Christian Louboutins are known for their red heels, Sarah Jessica Parker is setting her own shoe trademark: grosgrain ribbons stitched to the back of the heels. The Sex and the City actress - who made Manolo Blahnik and Jimmy Choo household names - talks freely about the inspiration and production of her own shoe collection (which Blahnik had a hand in designing himself!).
+ Despite being the latest Pantene Pro-V spokesmodel, Gisele Bundchen admits that her hair is constantly brushed by other people in her career that she doesn't even own a hairbrush. So, ladies: brushes are so passé these days.
+ While here at ChicDish we released the previews of Miu Miu's Spring/Summer 2014 campaign - which features Elizabeth Olsen, Elle Fanning, and Lupita Nyong'o - the label put out more ads featuring the actresses (as well as some featuring Dark Shadows actress Bella Heathcote). Check them out here!

Lady Gaga dressed as a white witch at the Glamour Women of the Year awards last night.
The "Applause" hitmaker turned up at the elegant event in New York City in a spooky attire wearing a white lace pencil skirt, matching blazer and a sheer high-collar blouse, which she teamed with bizarre platform heels encrusted with different sized pearls. The 27-year-old singer wore a long blonde mane, which she'd severely crimped into a back-combed effect and smothered her face in a white powder to give off a ghostly appearance.
Gaga criticized her facial features and claimed she looked too artificially beautiful on the cover of this month's Glamour magazine. Speaking at the awards ceremony, she said, "I do not look like that when I wake up in the morning."
The flamboyant star - who has set up a charity, the Born This Way Foundation, to combat the bullying of youngsters - went on to explain she's not interested in fashion and music, but believes her true talent lies in bringing out the best in other people: "My true talent is not the clothes, and not the music. I really feel that what I am best at is seeing the potential in other people."

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
Russell Brand hit out at the GQ Awards sponsors Hugo Boss claiming the company's founder was a "Nazi."
The 38-year-old star picked up the Oracle of the Year award at the ceremony at the Royal Opera House in central London Tuesday night, but he referred to the history of sponsors Hugo Boss - who formally apologized in 2011 for their maltreatment of 140 Polish and 40 French workers - and they founder, who became a member of the National Socialist Party in Germany in 1931 and supplied uniforms to the Sturmabteilung, Schutzstaffel, Hitler Youth, National Socialist Motor Corps, and other party organisations
Russell also made light of his accolade and made a jibe at his friend Noel Gallagher, who was sharing a table with him: "Oracle? That's got to be a made up award so I would turn up. It was also a great source of news when I was growing up, alongside Teletext. I would like to thank that pixelated news source and say to Noel, good luck being more offensive than that son!"

Billboard Music Awards 2013: the Good, the Bad, and the Sparkly
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
While the Billboard Music Awards are no Met Gala, one would hope that the celebrities would at least aspire to such style for the event. Judging from the various frocks that graced Billboard's blue carpet, however, the musically-inclined celebs failed to put much effort into this awards show. Whether it was the Las Vegas heat or some overextended stylists (between the Met Gala, Cannes, and this, who can blame them?), the fashion at the Billboard Music Awards fell short with a few good looks and way too many shine-inducing materials.
The Good: American Idol judge Nicki Minaj, known for her colorful and over-the-top costumes, scaled back her look by opting for a red number which made her cleavage take center stage and yet still managed to look classy.
Country pop singer Shania Twain showed up in a silver-white Pavoni by Mikael D gown looking like a modern-day Greek goddess.
Hayden Panettiere - who currently stars in the country music television drama Nashville - opted for black like many others in attendance, but her simple, sleek floor-length dress was the best of them all.

Who Wore It Best? Katy Perry vs. Bingbing Li
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
Katy Perry's mint Gucci dress was hotly discussed, considering its emphasis on her chest last Sunday night. Fashion fans might have noticed that the floor-length gown - from the Italian fashion house's Resort 2013 collection - previously graced the red carpet on Chinese actress Bingbing Li back in November.
So let's compare and weigh in: is Katy's eye-popping effect a better way to wear the dress, or does Bingbing's more conservative styling win?

.)
The "Cockiness (Love It)" singer debuted short cropped locks at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) yesterday, and while she had been wanted to snip her hair for some time, had originally planned it for after the awards.
"We had been talking about going short for a little while now and actually planned to do it the following week, but I just felt like, why wait? Let's do it today. And Ri said the same thing. She was ready for her short hair again," Rihanna's long time hairstylist, Ursula Stephan, told Us Weekly.
Rihanna took home the biggest award of the night, Video of the Year, for her collaboration with Calvin Harris, "We Found Love," and on her way back to the seat was stopped by her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, who kissed her on the lips and gave her a hug.
SNL’s Stefon to Appear at the CFDA Awards?
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News,
Calling all organizers of the CFDA Fashion Awards! Saturday Night Live's Bill Hader has given the greenlight to attend the ceremony as his Ed Hardy-loving Weekend Update City Correspondent character, Stefon.
When asked about whether or not he would be up for bringing Stefon to a real-life event like the CFDA Awards, he said yes! "I would like that. That would be fun. We did something for an autism benefit at the Plaza Hotel, so we've done it outside the show before, and it was a lot of fun. So yeah, I would totally do that [if asked]."
Considering that SNL's head writer and cast member Seth Meyers is hosting this year's CFDA event, the idea may not be as far-fetched as one would think...
The CFDA Fashion Awards will take place on Monday, June 4th at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall.
Designer Praises Kate Winslet’s Effortless Style
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
The designer of Kate Winslet's Golden Globes gown has praised her elegant style.
The Mildred Pierce actress chose a black and white Jenny Packham dress from the British designer's latest collection and Jenny revealed she was thrilled to see Kate step out on the red carpet in her gown on Sunday: "I am a huge fan of Kate's work so I was very excited. Kate's style is very strong, so putting a selection of styles together was effortless. The dress Kate chose was literally completed the day we selected the styles. I think she looks divine - but I am biased!"
Jenny - whose clothes have been worn by Angelina Jolie and the Duchess of Cambridge - believes Kate is a perfect model for her dresses because they compliment her beauty rather than overpowering it: "I believe very much that the dress should make the woman feel confident and attractive. Kate, for example, wears very classic glamorous styles with well-defined silhouettes. The dress chosen combines these looks and does not overpower or compete with Kate's beauty."
