Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, News,
Chloe Moretz has been named as MaxMara's 2012 Face of the Future.
The 15-year-old actress will be honored by the label at an awards ceremony in Beverly Hills in June and she follows in the footsteps of Katie Holmes, Zoe Saldana and Emily Blunt.
Criteria for The Women in Film, MaxMara Face of the Future Award includes "an actress experiencing a turning point in her career" and "embodiment of style and grace."
Despite her tender age, Chloe is renowned for her style and recently revealed she strives to look "flirty" yet age appropriate on the red carpet. The Hugo star loves dressing up for film premieres and events but admitted she relies on a stylist to ensure she dresses her age: "It's all up to my stylist, Nell Kalonji. I owe it to her for everything she pulls for me and puts together for me. [I] have to be very age appropriate, but at the same time flirty and chic and young. I definitely keep it safe because I'm not that kind of girl. I'm not risque - I'm very normal and grounded. So I definitely don't want to get older when I have a lot of time to do that."
Fashion Police: Katie Holmes’ Earthy Androgyny
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
From the looks of a recent outing with her daughter Suri, Katie Holmes has been perusing the men's sections of clothing stores lately.
Even though floral prints aren't usually found in the actress-turned-fashion designer's wardrobe, this masculine attire isn't exactly pulling off the androgynous look like Tilda Swinton can. The jeans are okay, but the somewhat see-through shoes and clashing stripes and squares aren't doing it for me.
Is Katie simply chic or simply faux pas?

Katie Holmes Takes Fashion Advice From Suri
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Girls,
Katie Holmes says her four-year-old daughter Suri Cruise has a "great eye" for fashion.
The actress - whose husband Tom Cruise has previously revealed the stylish tot gives him fashion advice - says Suri knows what looks good and often takes fashion advice from the youngster.
"She'll really tell me what she thinks. Like today I'm wearing brown suede pants, and she said, 'I don't like your pants.' But then she'll say, 'You've got to wear these shoes.' Or 'That's so pretty, Mom. Wear that.' She's got a great eye."
Along with giving her famous parents fashion advice, the little girl also has very definite ideas about her own style and is vocal about where she loves to shop. "The other day we came out of a store, and she said, 'I want to go there,' pointing at another store quite a distance away. In that store was the dress that she wanted. I said, 'Wow, Suri. You're something. You picked that out from a football field away,'" she told ELLE magazine.
Katie and Tom both take a relaxed approach to dressing Suri and let her choose her own outfits because of her obvious interest in fashion.
Suri Cruise Designs Her Own Clothes
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, News,
Four year-old Suri Cruise designs her own clothes.
The daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, Holmes claims that Suri chooses her own designs and has done so since she was just 18 months.
“I grew up the youngest of five, so there were a lot of hand-me-downs that I would sort of change up. And Suri and I do that now with her clothes. Or rather, she does it. She says, ‘I want this sleeve cut,’ and it’s like, ‘Okay, we’ll cut it.’ She picks out all of her own clothes and has since she was one-and-a-half.”
Katie, 31, also claims to have had a hand in making clothes for her, but has to get someone else to sew them as she doesn’t have the necessary skills: “I started making clothes for Suri when she was born, designing dresses, and then having seamstresses sew them, because I don’t sew very well. As a child, I was always drawing clothes, and I’ve always loved fabrics, and when Suri was born, I wanted to have certain things be from me and created just by me for her.”

Tom Cruise Wants Katie to Design Menswear
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
Tom Cruise wants his wife Katie Holmes to design a menswear range.
The former Dawson’s Creek actress launched her debut fashion collection Holmes & Yang - which was co-designed by her stylist and friend Jeanne Yang - two years ago and while it has been successful among women, Katie’s superstar husband is keen for the duo to branch out.
“The husbands always hang out at our meetings. They say, ‘When are you guys going to do the men’s collection?’”
As well as having a husband who wants some clothes designed for him, Katie also revealed Holmes & Yang are creating matching outfits for mothers and daughters to wear together. The 31-year-old beauty - who has a four-year-old daughter Suri with Tom - said, “They love matching mom. And it’s a limited time during which they really want to.”
Katie says she and Jeanne came up with the idea to do a clothing range as they wanted women to have wardrobes staple-based with uniforms for everyday wear: “We want to create pieces a woman can wear over and over, and people won’t necessarily say, ‘Oh, you wore that last week.’”
Suri Cruise: Future Stylist?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors, Girls,
Make no mistake - Suri Cruise is her own stylist.
The three-year-old tot, daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, dresses herself and chooses all her outfits. Dad Tom said, “Just so you know, she dresses herself. She picks out everything on her own.”
Mum Katie - who has her own clothing line Holmes + Yang - admits she’s a huge admirer of her daughter’s sense of fashion: “She has such cute style.”
Although Suri chooses her own outfits, it was recently reported Katie spends $25,000 a month on her daughter’s clothes as she wants her to be the “most fashionable kid in Hollywood.”
A source said, “Dressing Suri in amazing outfits has become Katie’s favorite hobby. She’ll scour the internet and Beverly Hills shops to find items and get inspiration for different looks. One of Katie’s favorite looks is 80s-inspired - she puts Suri in leggings and long sweatshirts or bright dresses. Suri loves getting involved and choosing things too.”
Items Du Jour: Taylor Swift, Martin Scorsese, and L’Oreal Hires Diane Kruger
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors,
- L’Oreal hires model-turned-actress Diane Kruger as their worldwide spokesperson (not that it was a surprise so much as it was a matter of which makeup company was going to demand a deal with her).
- Kelly Osbourne’s fiancé Luke Worrell experiments with androgyny. He looks just as gorgeous as a woman, too! How unfair is that?
- Taylor Swift rocks some major Prada Swarovski in a high fashion shoot for T: The New York Times Style Magazine; it’s nice to see her break out of her natural style and put those model looks of hers to good use.
- Epic collaborations keep coming! While Dior may be nabbing David Lynch, Karl Lagerfeld is never one to be outdone, recruiting Martin Scorsese to direct a Chanel
short film. What we’re all really wondering is whether or not Leonardo DiCaprio will be making an appearance…
- Lady Gaga, much like her appearance on Jay Leno’s show, toned down her outfit for Barbara Walters. Citing her inspiration as her mother’s classic Chanel suit, Gaga left her body art installations, masks, and heavy makeup at home. Lately, the once pantsless revolution leader has been embracing what she seemed to detest—is this a new age for the singer?
