Nicole Richie Debuts Gray Hair

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Hairstyles,

Nicole Richie has dyed her hair gray. The 31-year-old fashion designer showed off her newly-silver tresses at the Met Ball at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art last night, sticking to the Costume Institute Gala's Punk: Chaos to Couture theme by matching her updo and white Topshop column dress with a red and gold manicure, multiple gold earrings and a dark burgundy lip.

Nicole - who has five-year-old Harlow and three-year-old Sparrow with husband Joel Madden - had earlier teased fans about her change of look, posting pictures of hair extensions lying on a bush and a bowl of dye onto her Instagram account. Alongside the pictures, she wrote, "Even the bushes have extensions! Happy Met Ball Monday!
Hair Time #MetBall (sic)"

And the Fashion Star host wasn't the only star to change their hair for the annual fashion extravaganza.

Grammy Awards 2013 Fashion Breakdown

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,

The Grammy Awards red carpet was a little more conservative this year, thanks to the dress code placed by CBS; unfortunately, the restrictions seem to have negatively affected celebrity attendees' styles.

While there were many fashion mistakes at the music ceremony, Rihanna stood out among the rest in her gorgeous red Alaia number, straying from her usual provocative style to adhere to the TV network's fashion guidelines (though she raised eyebrows when she confirmed her reconciliation with Chris Brown).

Two Broke Girls star Kat Dennings opted for Vivienne Westwood (seen after the jump). Though the blue minidress accentuates the 26 year-old's curves, it resembles too much of printed bubblewrap.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,

Valentino Garavani has designed Anne Hathaway's wedding dress.

Although the actress has tried to keep all details about her upcoming wedding to Adam Shulman under wraps, the legendary designer revealed he "did the dress" for her big day. Valentino also revealed he thinks of Anne as a daughter and believes her latest movie Les Miserables will make her an even bigger star than she already is.

"She's a very good friend of mine. She's like my daughter! She's sensational. She's fantastic. She's a girl that... She deserves what she has in this life. [That] means, she's already a great star. But she's going to be a great, great, great, great thousand times great star. She has all the qualities. And wait until you hear her voice [in Les Miserables]. She's amazing," he told E! News.

Anne previously insisted the nuptials won't take place until 2013 as she is too busy this year with the release of blockbuster movies The Dark Knight Rises and Les Miserables:

Valentino Thanks Jackie Kennedy For Success

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Rumors,

Valentino believes he owes his fashion career to Jackie Kennedy.

In new movie Valentino: The Last Emperor - a documentary on the style guru’s fashion empire - the hot-headed Italian admits his success was down to president John Kennedy’s stylish wife wearing his clothes in the 60s. The coveted designer - real name Valentino Garavani - said, “She was the lady who made Valentino, and I made hundreds of dresses for her.”

The 78-year-old icon - who stepped down as the fashion house’s creative director two years ago - also admits his favorite creation was the famous black and white gown worn by Julia Roberts when she picked up her Best Actress Oscar in 2001.

“I saw it on TV. If movie stars love your clothes, that’s very important to me.”

According to the Daily Telegraph newspaper, the film also highlights Valentino’s eccentric and lavish lifestyle. Shot two years before he left the fashion house in 2008 after 45 years, the fly-on-the-wall film documents the legendary fashion designer’s six luxury homes, 150-foor yacht and five pet pugs. It also features his famous temper - which he admits he doesn’t care fans seeing - because it has made him who he is.

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Women, Dresses,

Shortly after divulging why she won’t film a sex tape, Megan Fox showed up fully clothed at the Toronto Film Festival for the premiere of her new film, Jennifer’s Body.

Dressed in a lacy, rufled Valentino piece paired with peep-toe Christian Louboutin heels, Fox outshone all of her cast mates (not surprisingly)—or did she? Are the ruffles overbearing or just the right amount of flair?
