—Wannabe-sex symbol Miley Cyrus showcased her stomach at a recent concert in Portugal over the weekend, sporting half a Cheap Trick t-shirt and entirely too many belts that served no purpose for her hot pants. Has no one pointed out to her that she looks like a trashy, bad mess?

Sarah Jessica Parker to Present Award to McQueen at CFDA
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
Actress Sarah Jessica Parker will present the posthumous Special Tribute Award to Alexander McQueen at the Council of Fashion Designers America (CFDA) Awards on June 7.
The Sex and the City 2 actress will award the prize to the British designer - who committed suicide in February - as a special tribute to his work. The pair famously walked the red carpet together at the Costume Institute Gala in 2006 in matching tartan outfits.
Commenting on his death at the time, Sarah Jessica said some of the designer’s work was “jaw-dropping”:
“He was talented well beyond his years and the seriousness and unrivalled talent which he applied to his work is in bountiful display year after year and collection after collection. Every single inspired, original, lofty, whimsical, stunning, brilliant and jaw-dropping detail was Alexander McQueen.”
Author Caroline Kennedy will present the Eleanor Lambert Award to Vogue fashion editor Tonne Goodman, who has previously exclaimed her pleasure at receiving the prize: “It’s lovely to be recognized for something that you love as much as we do - I have loved my job and my work and the people that I’ve worked with.”
Karl Lagerfeld Loves Georgia May Jagger
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Models, News,
Karl Lagerfeld says Georgia Jagger is the perfect choice to model Chanel.
The creative director of the renowned fashion house was hugely impressed when the 18-year-old rising catwalk star modeled Chanel‘s Cruise 2010 Saint-Tropez collection in Cannes last week and thinks it is the start of successful working union.
He told Vogue UK, “Miss Jagger is the modern girl. She is the girl of today. There is a total identification between her and the clothes. They could be her clothes. She is totally at home in Chanel. And that fits in the pattern of what Saint-Tropez can represent, what it is not really and yet what it can inspire.”
Georgia - the daughter of Rolling Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger and former model Jerry Hall - walked the catwalk in front of a star-studded audience, which included Vanessa Paradis, Diane Kruger and Lady Amanda Harlech.
The British Model of the Year also appears in the lookbook for the new collection.
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!’”

“[Karl] Lagerfeld had cast the show with a slightly more curvaceous model named Crystal Renn, not seen on any Chanel catwalk before. This in itself was groundbreaking for the house, but there was also the return of personality models encouraged to be themselves instead of robotic look-alikes.”

Quote of the Day: Andre Leon Talley on Capes
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, News,
“So, when I went to America’s Next Top Model, and I wasn’t as thin as some people want me to be, I said to Ralph [Rucci], you’ve got to come up with a fabulous idea, and I wanted a pop of color because it’s TV, and on TV you can’t wear the same thing over and over—you’ve got to have a different outfit every week.”

Daisy Lowe Could Care Less
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Daisy Lowe doesn’t care if her clothes offend anyone.
The 21-year-old model - daughter of Pearl Lowe and rocker Gavin Rossdale - likes to experiment with her look and enjoys wearing outfits which aren’t always to everyone’s taste. Daisy - who would happily wear a purple bra to dinner and mix vintage Victorian camisoles with high street pieces - said, “I thought the whole point was to have fun with clothes? Sorry if that offends anyone.”
As well as experimenting with her own look, Daisy and her friends also indulge in a bit of dressing up. She told Britain’s Vogue magazine, “Most of my friendships stem from high school. My friends and I like to play fairy games and dress up.”
The brunette beauty has previously posed nude on two occasions and says she’s has no regrets about it. She said, “The female form is a beautiful thing. People are like, ‘Oh, you get naked all the time.’ I got naked twice - just twice - and yes, maybe that’s twice too many, but I think that women’s bodies are great. I don’t want to do pornos! It’s a tasteful thing.”
