CoutureCandy Celebrity Blog Headlines http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/index.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:35:01 PST Perl, SQL and Hairspray The adorable Miranda Kerr was photographed exiting her chauffeured car in NYC on November 18, after a busy day where she met up with her fellow Victorias Secret models for a photo shoot in Times Square earlier that afternoon. Im sure this had something to do with the upcoming (and always heavily anticipated) Victorias Secret Fashion Show, which airs on CBS on December 1. For her model-off-duty look, Miranda opted for a casual yet stylish look. She started with an oversized heather grey tee (like Splendids Very Light V-Neck Tee in Heather Grey) tucked into a feminine mini skirt (check out Tt Collections Sabrina Skirt in Cream), which she topped with a slouchy black coat (may I suggest Alice + Olivias Billy Boy Blazer in Black. Accessory wise, MK stayed cozy and warm with an artistically patterned scarf (I love the simplicity of Clus Color Block Scarf in Grey), along with a silver watch on her left wrist and a pair of black leather booties (try Gwyneth Shoes Langston Ankle Boot in Black). Overall readers, do you like Mirandas look here? Is this something you would wear around town for errands on a chilly fall day? The thing I like about Miranda is that she seems so genuinely relatable, yet at that same time has that certain "x factor" that sets her apart. I wonder how her relationship with Orlanda Bloom is doing, considering that they barely ever get to see each other due to their brutal travel schedules?... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/gearing-up-for-the-vs-fashion-show-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/gearing-up-for-the-vs-fashion-show-blog.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:11:34 PDT ... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/saves-the-whales-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/saves-the-whales-blog.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:00:08 PDT I know that you readers are split between loving and loathing Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen eccentric and often risky sense of style, but theres no denying that the twins make people take notice wherever they go. Appearing at The Museum Of Modern Arts film benefit A Tribute To Tim Burton on November 17 in NYC, the girls piled on the layers for their unique looks. Lets begin with Ashley: she started with a pair of yellow satin Manolo Blahnik Hangisi pumps that I adore, in addition to a voluminous patterned maxi dress (try Pink Polka Dots Blue Feathers Dress in Turquoise for a similar full-length frock) under a black trench coat (similar to Suzabelles Nicolet Trench Coat in Black). One thing I have to point out to get your feedback on are the pale blue and purple streaks in Ashs wavy blonde locks. What is going on there? Are you a fan of these subtle highlights? I havent fully made up my mind yet. Mary-Kate, on the other hand, started with an attention-grabbing dark maroon/purple pucker, along with a leopard coat and a long black dress (for a cuter option, try Moschino Cheap and Chics Silk Leopard Tie Dress). She completed her look with a pair of burgundy velvet heels. One thing that the Olsen girls always bring with them are a selection of killer rings, and the MOMA event was no exception. Check out a selection of funky and unique rings here on CoutureCandy, like Ija Designs Cuttlefish Ring in Silver, Megan Greenes Ada III Ring in Midnight, or Alanna Bess Raw Jasper Ring in Gold. Okay, readers - lay it on me, do you love or hate their look here?... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/memorable-at-moca-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/memorable-at-moca-blog.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:02:41 PDT ... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/always-chic-in-black-and-white-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/always-chic-in-black-and-white-blog.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:52:27 PDT Rihanna was spotted rocking an (of course) interesting look as she made her way outside her hotel and to Met Bar in London, England on November 17, choosing to top her outfit off with a Louis Vuitton fanny pack. Yes, you read that right. Fanny. Pack. Im sorry, just because this is LV does not change the fact that it still should have never seen the light of day. Do you agree, readers? For the rest of her look, Rihanna chose a shoulder-padded, long-sleeved mini dress (try Young Fabulous and Brokes Vanessa Dress in Burgundy or Da-Nangs 3/4 Sleeve Feather Tunic in Lucid for similar options) that she accessorized with tough, unlaced black leather motorcycle boots, a pair of funky cool shades, a gold chain necklace (I love the various materials used for Kimberly Faiths 48" Patchwork Necklace in Gold and Silver) and a gold chain bracelet (try Marcia Morans Chain Link Bracelet in Gold Plated). What do you think, readers - are you into RiRis look here, fanny pack and all? If you have any interest in Rihannas love life, you may be interested to know that she is reportedly hooking up with "90210" star Tristan Wilds. According to PerezHilton.com, a source says that "Tristan was a very important guest at a party in her Los Angeles home that RiRi was throwing to say goodbye to her friends before setting off to London a few days ago. No one knew why Tristan was there initially, because it was not an industry party -- it was very intimate. But everyone quickly realized they werent meeting for the first time, because they were openly affectionate for everyone to see...Hes a real gentleman. She likes him a lot, and it shows. From the moment he walked into her party, Rihanna lit up." How cute!... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/fanny-pack-alert-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/fanny-pack-alert-blog.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:49:47 PDT Although young star Emma Roberts showed us just how sophisticated she can be at the Prada book party earlier this week, a few nights before that she showed us shes still just a girl -- a Barbie pink loving girl! Emma indulged in dinner at Madeo in Los Angeles on November 10 with her beau, showing off her hot pink Birkin-esque bag while signing autographs for fans (get pink perfect with Kooba Handbags Kellyn Bag with Triangle Ring in Pink). I say Birkin-esque because Im not 100% sure Hermes makes such a fluorescent shade of the iconic tote -- have any of you seen it in person? Going for a youthful, casual look, Emma paired uber skinny indigo jeans (try Rich and Skinnys flattering Sleek in Mystic) with black boots, a pink tank (like Splendids super soft Slub Jersey Tank in Lilly) and simple gray cardi (try Raw 7s Embroidered Cardigan in Metal Grey). She added a little shine with layered gold necklaces, a chunky gold ring (like Allison Daniels Designs Lots of Dots Ring in Gold) and petite gold earrings. What do you think of the casual fit? Its nothing too special, but compared to other 18 year old stars Emmas style is perfectly age appropriate. That said I dont think anyone will argue the lightened locks she showed off a few days later arent doing wonders for her light complexion -- she looks like a completely different person, IMO! As far as this boyfriend of hers, Emma has been dating Dathan Kippin for a few months now, who is more famous for playing tennis at UCLA than appearing on the silver screen like his girlfriend. After their dinner date last week, the couple was spotted taking Emmas little sis shopping at the Grove over the weekend -- and Im sure there were a million other things theyd rather be doing. Like giving each other hickeys, for example. While Emma has a pretty clean-cut reputation, backstage sources at "Rock of Ages" where whispering when Emma brought Dathan backstage during intermission at a performance in September. According to witnesses, Ds neck was covered in hickies, which he showed off in a tank top. Scandalous! Do you think this Page Six story has any merit?... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/passionately-pink-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/passionately-pink-blog.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 20:45:34 PDT Going out for a night on the town sans Tom, Katie Holmes gets glammed up for dinner in NYC on November 8. Katie has been commuting between Boston, where Tom is filming his latest action flick, and Long Island, where her film The Romantics began production last week and still continues to add big name cast members. While Katie spent her Saturday night dining with little Suri, she was spotted heading to dinner at a Tribeca restaurant on Sunday alone. Wonder who she met up with in her strapless ensemble? KH didnt let the dropping temps bother her in a murky blue Lanvin dress with an exposed side zip and gathered pleats at the front waist (try Rebecca Taylors Summer Cocktail Dress in Midnight or Single Dress Strapless Pleat Dress in Black). I like the concept of the dramatic pleated front, but somehow between the baggy tube shape and no-frills knee length style I think the chic element is lost. Is it just me? Katie added sheer tights, which dont really add any excitement, but I am loving her peep-toe Givenchy lace-up pumps (perk up your fit with Andrea and Joens Daze in Black or Gwyneth Shoes Kyra Pump in Black). What do you think of the look?... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/going-solo-in-tribeca-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/going-solo-in-tribeca-blog.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 20:08:08 PDT Blake Lively was spotted looking extra, ahem, perky as she was photographed on the red carpet of a screening for her new film, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, at AMC Loews 19th Street Theatre in NYC on November 15. But seriously, Blake is putting her puppies on full display! Ive never really noticed before, but her boobs are fake, right? Theres no way that they could be that full and round without a bra. Get it, B! For her premiere look, she paired a stunning embroidered Marchesa Spring 2010 blazer with oversized bow detailing (for two similarly stylish options that offer a bit more coverage, try either Sue Wongs Ribbon Coat in Ivory or Juicy Coutures Shrunken Coat in Cream) with a pair of black short shorts (try Johnsons Satin Belt Loop Short in Black) and a pair of white heels with black lining. I am absolutely in awe of how beautiful Blake looks in this ensemble, but I have to say, Im not feeling the shoes. They seem kind of MOB (Mother of the Bride) to me. She finished off her look with a chic black clutch and a pair of sparkling stud earrings (make a statement with Michele Michel Jewelrys unexpected Rose Clip Earrings in Silver). What is your impression of Blakes outfit here everyone? Do you think she looks hot or not? While it seems that every decade has its staple hairstyle that every woman strives to achieve (from the Farrah to the Rachel), Blakes do on "GG" is currently the most in demand. The New York Times is dubbing Blakes blonde, long and messy locks as the new Rachel, as Manhattan women have been flocking to the Toka Salon requesting the cut and style. The NYT reports that "Nuri Yurt of Toka Salon on Madison Avenue says the look only works on tall, skinny women, but that doesnt seem to dissuade any cult-cut followers." Blake has spoken out about how she was taken aback by how many followers there are of her hair and how Vogue staffers routinely approach her at event and bring up her hair, saying, "I didnt really realize the extent of it. Its always kind of odd, but unbelievably flattering." What do you think - do you lust over Livelys locks?... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/livelys-lust-worthy-locks-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/livelys-lust-worthy-locks-blog.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:11:59 PDT The stylishly quirky Chloë Sevigny was photographed posing and looking adorable on the red carpet of MOCAs 30th Anniversary Gala in LA on November 14, managing to look youthful, yet not like shes a grown woman wearing a childs clothing. Dressed in a Miu Miu Spring 2010 dress with bejeweled top and frilly neck and sleeve details, I absolutely adore this look on Chloë. From the bubblegum pink lip to the slightly tousled updo and her girlish grin, this all just works. The pale yellow chain bag and criss-cross cutout heels perfectly compliment her look without overpowering it. To get a look inspired by CS outfit, try one of the following frocks that have a similar silhouette; Gold Hawks Broach Scoop Dress in Cucumber, Voom by Joy Hans Twiggy Puff Sleeve Dress in Black, or Tricia Fixs vibrant Melani Mini in Orange Medallion. Another way to recreate this look is to pair a striking top (like Gold Hawks Tribal Queen Top in White Essence) with a classic white skirt (try Joes Jeans Ollie Skirt in White), tuck it in, and go! What are your thoughts, readers - are you as enamored with Sevignys look as I am? Chloes daring style choices often leave her open for criticism, and such was the case with her recent appearance at the same Prada book launch that Emma Roberts also attended. While she opted to expose her bra for the event, one fashion blog reported that "we can only assume you were burgled this week and had all your nice clothes stolen, as thats the only explanation for this red carpet disaster. The whole effect is more crazy lady who went to bank without doing her blouse up than red carpet goddess." Check out the outfit here, and let me know what you think. Call me crazy - but I kind of think CS is making it work!... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/exposed-bra-fashion-disaster-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/exposed-bra-fashion-disaster-blog.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:40:45 PDT ... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/book-lovin-beauty-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/book-lovin-beauty-blog.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 16:58:45 PDT Is there ever a time that Diane Kruger doesnt look absolutely radiant? The beautiful fashionista had her hands full last week, attending several sartorial events in LA and NYC, including the annual Fête dHiver Benefit at Four Seasons Restaurant on November 4, hosted by Chanel Fine Jewelry. As expected Di arrived in a sparkling midnight blue Chanel Couture Fall 2009 dress, modified from the full length runway version to show off a flared peplum skirt and sophisticated cap sleeves (sparkle is everywhere this holiday season, so get your shine on with LaROKs Sequined Rolly Dress in Black topped with Voom by Joy Hans Sequin Bolero in Black, or for a more youthful look try Alice + Olivias Sequin Stripe Dress in White/Black). Adding a few well chosen accessories, DK carried a black skinny clutch (love the texture of Elaine Turners Allie Clutch in Black) and wore a plain skinny silver bracelet and ring. Im not a fan of the long necklace -- a shorter style or none at all would have been better to let the dress speak for itself. What do you think of the sparkly look? Other stars attending the event benefitting the Society of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centers pediatric wing included the always beautiful Blake Lively and Project Runway judge Nina Garcia. At the event DK told the press why she enjoy working with the classic couture house, "I work with Chanel as an ambassador for the brand and theyre one of the few who always give back. I usually only go out when I have a movie to promote... When youre a girl you have to think about what to wear -- it becomes a lot." But its never to much when you have an endless array of Chanel gowns to choose from!... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/fete-dchanel-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/fete-dchanel-blog.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 16:48:29 PDT Young actress Emma Roberts was photographed posing outside of the Prada store on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills for a Prada book launch event last night, November 13, in the company of such stars as Chloe Sevigny, Jessica Alba and Jessica Biel. Looking cute and playful in a long sleeved patterned dress (to get your long sleeve fix, try either Da-Nangs 3/4 Sleeve Feather Tunic in Lucid or Joies More Than This Dress in Admiral), Roberts added on to her look with nude patent leather peeptoe heels and a matching nude leather clutch (for similar options, try Julie K Handbags Brit Bag in Gold or Elaine Turners Bella Croc Patent Bag in Champagne). She kept her hair and makeup youthful and girlie for the event, with a dramatic bronze eye and light pink lips. What are your thoughts on Emmas Prada look, everyone? Do you think she held her own among her peers Chloe and the two Jessicas? While Twitter seems to be sweeping the universe and gaining more and more followers daily, it appears that Emma pulled a Miley Cyrus and nixed her account. She Tweeted, "i will be deleting my twitter today because EVERYDAY someone tries to hack on reset my password. Sorry to everyone who doesnt do that." Her loyal fans and followers were not too pleased with the news, to which Emma responded "Okay everyone making me feel really guilty so Im not gonna delete my twitter ... for now. But please whoever it is STOP trying to get on!" What is the world coming to when young stars cant even have a Twitter account to themselves (note my sarcasm)?!... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/emmas-terminated-twitter-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/emmas-terminated-twitter-blog.html Sat, 14 Nov 2009 16:46:00 PDT ... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/kp-saves-the-polar-bears-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/kp-saves-the-polar-bears-blog.html Sat, 14 Nov 2009 14:45:01 PDT The less flashy of the Hilton sisters, Nicky Hilton was photographed out for a night on the town as she hit up celeb-favorite nightclub Voyeur last night, November 12, daring to wear one of fashions most controversial statements: horizontal stripes. If you are inspired by Ms. Hilton and itching to get your horizontal stripe fix, try either Young Fabulous and Brokes Embroiderd Tank Dress in Cream or Trina Turks Biscayne Tunic Sweater Dress in Ecru. For the rest of her ensemble, Nicky chose a lust-worthy pair of nude patent leather Christian Louboutin stilettos that she paired with a black patent leather clutch (similar to Laura Matthews Designs Patent and Lucite Clutch in Black), an oversized cocktail ring and a wristful of bracelets and bangles (I love Ettikas 24 Multi Faceted Beads Leather Bracelet in White). Okay, lay it on me readers - do you think NH is pulling off the horizontal stripes? I think her supremely slender frame is definitely rocking them. But then again, Nicky usually looks great in whatever she chooses to wear. Unlike a certain other, cough cough, Hilton sister. I know Ive asked this question so many times in the past, but its always one that I enjoy hearing readers respond to: who do you think has better style, Paris or Nicky Hilton? Dont let me down everyone, be sure to leave your vote in the comments section!... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/star-style-paris-vs-nicky-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/star-style-paris-vs-nicky-blog.html Fri, 13 Nov 2009 21:01:10 PDT The beautiful Kate Bosworth was caught leaving the Byron and Tracey Salon in West Hollywood after getting her platinum locks trimmed on November 11, wearing her beloved red studded Chloe boots that she was spotted in over a year ago! For the rest of her fit, KB chose a pair of acid wash denim (try Genetic Denims The James Zipper Jean in Static) with a comfy, cozy oversized sweater (check out Trina Turks Kylie Sweater in Platinum) and classic gold-rimmed Ray-Ban aviators. She completed her look with a great black leather tote (try Donald J Pliners Raen Tote in Black, or if you are in the mood for something grey, try Traces Ty Satchel in Charcoal). What are your thoughts of Bosworths look here, readers - do you like her dressed down look? While Kate has been in the middle of a gossip storm lately regarding her alleged liplock with Gwyneth Paltrows husband Chris Martin, Chris rep says that story (which originally ran in Star) completely untrue. They say, "Chris and Gwyneth are completely fine. The make-out simply never happened. She may have been in the same room with him, but he is not having an affair, was not kissing her or holding her hand." And there you have it! Straight from the reps mouth.... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/they-never-kissed-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/they-never-kissed-blog.html Fri, 13 Nov 2009 18:52:15 PDT ... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/entertainer-of-the-year-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/entertainer-of-the-year-blog.html Thu, 12 Nov 2009 22:53:26 PDT The girls of "The Hills" (well, two of them at least) were spotted out on the red carpet of the launch party for the Assassins Creed II video game hosted by Maxim Magazine at Voyeur Nightclub in West Hollywood last night, November 11, as Lo Bosworth, Stephanie Pratt, and Lauren Conrad struck a unified pose in front of the photogs. Its nice to see that Lauren joins her former co-stars from time to time for these glitzy shindigs, and as bad as it is to say this, shes probably loving the fact that the ratings on "The Hills" have dropped so drastically since she left MTVs popular reality show. For their party-rific outfits, lets start with Lo. She paired a demure French Connection black mini (for similar options, check out Karen Zambos Sydney Dress in Black or Tt Collections Audry Dress in Black) with Prada booties and a sophisticated updo. Stephanie, on the other hand, chose a glittery sequined frock (like Karen Zambos long sleeved Twiggy Dress in Metallic or LaROKs Sequined Rolly Dress in Black) that turned out to be more sheer and revealing than she initially thought - her hot pink panties are on full display! She finished off her look with a classic black clutch and YSL Divine heels. Lauren picked a pale pink mini dress (take a look at Gold Hawks Tribal Queen Shift Dress in Soft Praline) that she topped with Ashishs sparkling boyfriend blazer (similar to 7 for All Mankinds >Sequin Blazer in Ash) and paired with her trademark gold charm necklace with a coral accent. What are your thoughts, readers - who knocked their look out of the park for the Maxim event, and if you had to choose, which look do you like the best? I have to give it to Lauren on this one!... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/pretty-maxim-partygoers-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/pretty-maxim-partygoers-blog.html Thu, 12 Nov 2009 21:58:04 PDT ... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/bangin-new-bob-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/bangin-new-bob-blog.html Thu, 12 Nov 2009 21:53:03 PDT Rachel Bilson was the picture of chic, black and white perfection yesterday, November 11, as she had lunch at Pizzeria Mozza with her stylist Nicole Chavez before heading to Maison Midi for a bit of shopping. For her day-in-LA look, she started with a pair of tailored black pants (get the look with Alice + Olivias Arthur Pant in Black) and paired with a white button down blouse (like Splendids Silky Shirt in White) and grey and black Ferragamo peeptoe stilettos. She kept her accessories to a minimum, only opting for a black shoulder bag for the day (take your pick of Linea Pelle Collections Dylan Folding Tote in Black or Donald J Pliners Reta Tote in Black). For those of you who caught Rachs guest judging gig on "Project Runway," Rachel is speaking out about how much she enjoyed the whole experience. She tells JustJared.com, "It was great. So much fun! Its my favorite show so I was like a little kid. Heidi [Klum] was really, really nice!" Wow, shes really gushing!... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/gushing-over-runway-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/gushing-over-runway-blog.html Thu, 12 Nov 2009 18:52:08 PDT YES! Matchy-matchy Paris is back! Spotted shopping at a newsstand in West Hollywood on November 10 before stopping off at H and M and Fred Segal, Paris Hilton was in full-on color coordinated mode. Wearing a pink and lavendar floral Topshop dress that Lo Bosworth wore back on July 16, Paris decided that every other thing she chose had to be purple. Who do you think wore it better, Paris or Lo? She couldnt have just worn the black shoes with the purple bows and left it alone, she had to go an add the sunglasses, the earrings, the bangle (try CC Skyes Carson Cuff in Turquoise), the bag, and the belt. Eesh! Purple Paris overload! Then again, thats what I love about Paris "style" - she cant just leave tacky enough alone. For a few options of pretty, patterned dresses on CoutureCandy, try Tracy Reeses Empire Halter Dress in Chambray, Tricia Fixs Roman Mini in Orange Medallion, or Singles Beaded Floral Print Dress in Rose. What do you think, readers... are you as amused with Ps matchy-matchy look as I am? While many of Hollywoods starlets have been robbed lately (Lindsay Lohan, Audrina Patridge), it seems that Paris is taking no chances when it comes to home security. She says, "Ive made my house impossible to get into. I have 24-hour armed guards. I have video cameras everywhere. Maybe Ill get a Rottweiler." Add the Rottweiler to her list of like fifty dogs!... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/her-home-is-like-fort-knox-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/her-home-is-like-fort-knox-blog.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:56:12 PDT ... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/kh-goes-bright-in-boston-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/kh-goes-bright-in-boston-blog.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 12:25:02 PDT The precious Taylor Swift was caught by photographers (although her bodyguards did their best to shield the starlet from them) heading into Oceana on November 7 for a late-night after party celebrating her SNL performance earlier in the evening. For her night out attire, Tay chose a simple black trench coat (like Suzabelles Nicolet Trench Coat in Black, or for a bit of a contrast, check out Suzabelles Greenstreet Wool Coat in Black/Cream) with peeptoe zip-up black booties, a cherry red manicure, and a sparkly clutch (take your pick of either Moyna Handbags Sequin Clutch in Gold/Pewter or the Beaded Clutch in Gold/Bronze). While this is essentially one of the simplest outfits T could have chosen, theres no denying that she looks chic and sophisticated. Now, on to her SNL performance - did any of you catch it? There were definitely a few memorable moments, such as her "Twilight" spoof and her opening monologue. During her monologue, she got into such topics such as her romantic life, saying (actually, singing): "You might think Id bring up Joe (Jonas), that guy who broke up with me on the phone, but Im not gonna mention him in my monologue. Hey Joe, Im doing real well. Tonight, Im hosting SNL but Im not gonna brag about that in my monologue. La la la. Ha ha ha. La la la. And if youre wondering if I might be dating the werewolf from Twilight. Hey Taylor (Lautner)! But Im not gonna comment on that in my monologue." Way to stay vague, TS! She also brings up the whole Kanye incident, singing: "You might be expecting me to say something bad about Kanye (West) and how he ran up on stage and ruined my VMA monologue. But theres nothing more to say cuz everythings okay. Ive got security lining the stage." I want to hear reader feedback on Taylors job on SNL, how do you think she did?... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/taylors-snl-hosting-gig-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/taylors-snl-hosting-gig-blog.html Mon, 09 Nov 2009 22:53:33 PDT ... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/tip-tastic-lunching-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/tip-tastic-lunching-blog.html Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:19:01 PDT I loved both of Katy Perrys red carpet looks at the 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards this year I couldnt decide which to feature. The awards were held in Berlin this year on November 5, with KP hosting for the second time in a row. If your first reaction was, "wheres her trademark fruit?" KP answered that question at the press conference the day before the show: Last year I was all bright and fruity, but now were in Berlin its going to be all sexy, dark and romantic with a cabaret undertone. For the press conf, Katy picked a flirty Jenny Packham dress in a faded pink shade with a fancy clasp at the waist, sheer lacy yoke and a voluminous feathered skirt (if you love the almost nude shade try Sue Wongs Gladiator Short Dress in Blush). KP paired this look with Louis Vuitton Cancan heels in a bronze shade. At the show the next day, Katy walked the red carpet in a gorgeous nude tulle Marchesa gown with embroidered black floral appliques covering the right shoulder (try similarly decadent options from Sue Wong like the Victorian Layered Gown in Ivory or the Vintage Inspired Beaded Gown in Ivory). The mermaid skirt gives her gorgeous enhanced curves -- Im totally wowed by this look! KP wore her tresses in an old fashioned updo and kept her accessories simple with a single silver bracelet (personalize the look with Christie Martins Love Bangle in Sterling Silver). Which look is your fav? While KP might have lost her nom for Best Video to Beyonce, she definitely won in the sartorial awards. Her wardrobe was filled with spectacular gowns including a jack-o-lantern-esque Viktor and Rolf gown, a feathered white Marchesa frock screaming showgirl and a dramatic blue sequined Georges Chakra Couture gown with a dazzling fringed skirt. Which frock is your fav?... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/bringing-mtv-to-berlin-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/bringing-mtv-to-berlin-blog.html Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:17:05 PDT ... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/latin-grammy-gorgeous-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/latin-grammy-gorgeous-blog.html Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:41:22 PDT Rihanna was spotted going to town with the fierce poses while outside of the MTV Studios in NYC earlier today, November 9, of course keeping her sunglasses on the entire time. Its nice to see Rihanna seeming to have such a playful time, especially right after her 20/20 interview that just aired. For her "Alexa Chung" appearance, RiRi chose a Freddy Krueger-esque black and red striped hooded dress (get your stripe fix with either Splendids Vintage Striped Tank in Pomegranate or their Rubly Milange Top in Boysenberry, or Ella Moss Skye Widesleeve Top in Amour) with a sturdy pair of ankle booties, oversized black shades, a gold watch, and multiple bangles (try Alex and Anis Lifetime of Luck Expandable Wire Bangles in Silver). What are your thoughts on Rs look here, readers - are you a fan? She opened up to Alexa during her appearance, speaking out about why she chose to be vocal about her situation with Chris Brown. She says, "I did the interview to give insight to people who have been through what I have. [The fan response has been] insane, and for a little statistic theres the domestic violence hotline, and the calls have been up 59 percent. Its also helping save lives." She went on to discuss her first single, "Russian Roulette," off of her new album, saying "The song was very dark, which matched the base of the album. I love that it was metaphorical." I have to be honest - Im not really feeling the track. Any of you have thoughts about Ris new single, positive or negative?... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/work-it-ri-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/work-it-ri-blog.html Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:45:35 PDT ... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/a-rod-and-kate-date-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/a-rod-and-kate-date-blog.html Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:19:10 PDT Ever since giving birth to her second tiny tot (as well as all through her pregnancy), Nicole Richie has been absolutely glowing - and her appearance at the March of Dimes Celebration of Babies at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills on November 7 was definitely no exception! Giving her support to this charity event which celebrates celebrity mothers as positive role models all while raising money, Nicole walked the red carpet in a floor-length maxi dress (check out similar options on CoutureCandy, like Sue Wongs Printed Metallic Gown in Pink, Lotta Stenssons Savong Halter Dress in Brown or Rachel Pallys simple Selena Dress in Espresso). She accessorized her look with a classic Chanel quilted clutch (while there really is no substitute for Chanel, I love the studded accents of Julie K Handbags Sasha Clutch in Black), zero jewelry, and we can kind of see a black peep toe pump sticking out from under her dress. What are your thoughts of Nicoles look here, everyone - are you digging it? While its great that Nic is out there making appearances at charity events, she has also been quite busy lately with gearing up for her new clothing line called Winter Kate. Nicole has told the press about her new line, saying "Fashion should be accessible. That was my philosophy when designing House of Harlow 1960 and it remains my philosophy for Winter Kate. I started working on this collection in early 2009, the pieces can be dressed up, made casual but most importantly, they provide the wearer a means of self-expression and fun." Love it! Cant wait to see what she has in store :)... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/dishing-on-winter-kate-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/dishing-on-winter-kate-blog.html Sun, 08 Nov 2009 21:31:00 PDT Kristin Cavallari was spotted looking racy in lace as she leaves popular LA nightspot Voyeur in Hollywood, sending the paparazzi into a shutterbug frenzy as she oh-so-coolly headed towards her car - while kind of gave off the BF (b*tch face). Or what do you think, do get that vibe from her facial expression in the photo on the right? Either way, her outfit started with a see-through black lace top with a matching black bra, which she paired with skinny black denim (get the best of both worlds with Genetic Denims Cigarette Jean in Black Lace) and nude patent heels (they look like Brian Atwood to me). She completed her look with a wristful of bangles (try Alex and Anis Set of 12 Assorted Expandable Wire Bangles in Gold/Silver) and a tan croc clutch (check out either Posse New Yorks Natalie Clutch in Pearl Tan or Elaine Turners Bella Croc Patent Clutch in Champagne) to match her stilettos. Weigh in on KCs look readers - is this look something you would ever dare wear for a night on the town? While Im sure that youve heard that "Hills" ratings are way down this season ever since Kristin replaced Lauren as the lead character, it seems that new details are emerging: ratings are down one third! Eep! Are any of you out there loyal "Hills" viewers, and if so, what do you think of Kristins turn as the shows go-to gal?... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/playing-peek-a-boo-at-voyeur-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/playing-peek-a-boo-at-voyeur-blog.html Sun, 08 Nov 2009 16:59:17 PDT Looks like Cameron Diaz isnt the only star who loves fitted frocks by RM by Roland Mouret. Olivia Wilde attended the LA premiere of Precious at Graumans Chinese Theatre on November 1. Both O and Cam are working the sophisticated simplicity of these dresses, and I love that Olivia lightened up in a cream shade with nude accessories. For similar fitted frocks on CoutureCandy, try Suzabelles Veronica Day Dress in Heather Grey, Sue Wongs All Over Soutache Lace Dress in Beige or Gold Hawks Floral Eyelet Dress in White. O carried a nude clutch (like Posse New Yorks Natalie Clutch in Pearl Tan and kept her jewelry minimal with her wedding ring and a skinny gold bracelet (try Danielle Stevens Monogram Bracelet in Gold. Once again Olivia is showing off her clear complexion with barely there makeup, gorgeous. What do you think of this "precious" fit? O has attended a few Hollywood social events this week, hanging out with Hayden Panettiere at the Jimmy Choo for H and M party and chatting with the press about her character on House: Its kind of great to be able to ... harness my power as a sexual being I guess and to be able to be seen as a sexy person and not have to compromise who I am and what I stand for. And being able to be considered sexy even though I wear a floor length lab coat in every episode, showing very little skin and spewing out medical terms all day. She has a point - Olivia is one of the few who can make scrubs look sexy!... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/precious-premiere-pretty-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/precious-premiere-pretty-blog.html Sun, 08 Nov 2009 14:24:37 PDT The... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/fashionable-in-culver-city-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/fashionable-in-culver-city-blog.html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 23:54:15 PDT The... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/a-sight-in-black-and-white-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/a-sight-in-black-and-white-blog.html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 23:26:44 PDT ... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/bow-lovin-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/bow-lovin-blog.html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 14:47:03 PDT ... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/lbd-lovely-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/lbd-lovely-blog.html Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:32:47 PDT The adorable (and much loved here at CoutureCandy) Rachel Bilson was spotted running a few errands in Burbank yesterday, including stopping at her local Staples and Michaels Arts and Crafts store. I wonder if shes working on a craft project? Rachel was definitely dressed for LAs semi-chilly fall weather, starting with a pair of shearling boots that appear to be vintage, paired with Hudson Jeans Emily Super Skinny Jean in Trigger (get Rachs exact pair here on CC!) and a black and gold studded leather bag (check out Novella Royales Clover Studded Bag in Grey). Up top, Rachel chose an oatmeal colored cardigan (try Splendids 1x1 Long Cardi in Oatmeal) under a black jacket (Im digging Habitual Jeans Dietrich Jacket in Tux). She completed her look with a pair of Ray-Ban sunnies and her BlackBerry firmly in hand. What are your thought of RBs look, readers... is this something you would rock for a day of errands? Looks pretty cozy to me! For those of you who are Rachel fans, I bet you have already checked out her racy spread in an upcoming issue of Flaunt Magazine - take a peek at the pics here. Rachel is definitely bringing her inner fierceness to the surface - work it R!... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/bringing-out-her-fierceness-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/bringing-out-her-fierceness-blog.html Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:37:21 PDT The beautiful Cameron Diaz posed for photographers at the NYC premiere of her new film "The Box" last night, November 4, opting for a refined, ladylike look on the red carpet. Wearing a RM by Roland Mouret fitted frock (for similarly sophisticated options, try Tt Collections Audry Dress in Black, Karen Zambos Katia Dress in Black or Rebecca Taylors Cocktail Dress in Midnight) with sheer black tights, a gold multi-layered necklace (check out Amrita Singhs Aztec Beaded Necklace in Gold), and a somewhat disheveled updo. What are your thoughts on Cammy Ds look here, overall? This overall look is a bit muted for Cam - who can forget her terrific hot pink Chanel moment at the 2009 Golden Globe Awards? - I think she still does this more somber look justice. For those of you who are interested in checking out Cams newest flick, you may want to peruse E! Onlines review first; the headline is "The Box is Hilarious - But Doesnt Mean to Be." The reviewer gives the film a D grade and says, "This preposterous Cameron Diaz thriller offers a promising premise: a mysterious box bestows riches in exchange for killing a stranger. But then it dumps in existentialism, government conspiracies, aliens, nosebleeds, deformities--and dresses it all in ugly 70s polyester fashions and geo-print wallpaper. Blecch. This is one Box that shouldve been left on the shelf." Yikes! If you see the film this weekend, leave your thoughts in the comments section :)... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/a-rotten-box-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/a-rotten-box-blog.html Thu, 05 Nov 2009 22:04:52 PDT ... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/workin-leather-skinnies-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/workin-leather-skinnies-blog.html Thu, 05 Nov 2009 09:21:41 PDT ... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/jess-gets-prada-pretty-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/jess-gets-prada-pretty-blog.html Wed, 04 Nov 2009 23:49:14 PDT Making an appearance at the 2009 Library Lions Benefit at the New York Public Librarys Schwartzman Building in NYC earlier this evening, November 2, "Gossip Girl" star Leighton Meester looked sweet and sultry in a stunning Prabal Gurung dress with an oversized rosette. For a more casual version of Leightons red carpet look, try Nu by Marc Anthonys Belt Dress in Blue Fox with a normal sized (or tiny, when you compare it to LMs dress) rosette, Gold Hawks Sleevess Flower Eyelet Dress in Horizon or their CB Sheer Overlay Dress in Tempest Blue. Accessory wise, LM slipped into a pair Roger Vivier heels along with dazzling Van Cleef and Arpels jewelry, and finished off her look with a black belt (similr to Motif 56s Elise Croc Belt in Black) over the PG dress. Do you like Leightons look here? Weigh in - smoldering or sub-par? With Halloween being just days ago, celebs definitely got into the spirit with their elaborate costumes and lavish parties. On that note, Leighton is speaking out about one of her favorite Halloween memories: her self-made hula girl costume! She says, "I remember being a little kid and my dad making my Halloween costume - I was a hula dancer from Hawaii. My dad made a real lei with real flowers and a grass skirt with real grass. It turned out to be really cold that night, and we were in Florida, which is the weirdest thing. So I ended up having to wear a sweatshirt and sweatpants over it. And everyone was like, Who are you? and [I sighed and said,] A hula girl, and I was so embarrassed. But now that I look back, it must have been kind of cute." Adorable!... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/meeesters-halloween-memories-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/meeesters-halloween-memories-blog.html Mon, 02 Nov 2009 21:59:46 PDT Sienna Miller was photographed earlier today, November 2, taking her dog for a walk in NYC, keeping warm in a shaggy, what looks to be faux fur jacket. Along with her attention-grabbing coat, SM chose a pair of super skinny black denim (like Kasil Jeans Benetar Jean in Noir) with an ivory knit sweater (I love the sexy sheer detailing of Catherine Malandrinos Pointelle Sweater in Ivory) and a rust colored studded-and-buckled bag (check out Botkiers Sasha Medium Duffle in Orange - which is now 50% off!). She completed her look with a bordeaux manicure, her BlackBerry, and a pair of black booties (try Gwyneth Shoes tough Alba Ankle Boot in Black). While Sienna does seem to be a little listless here, what do you think readers - is her huge furry coat tres chic, or tres Woolly Mammoth? Its no secret that Sienna is known in the press as a serial man-izer, so it comes as no surprise that S and her most recent sweetie, George Barker, have gone their separate ways. Says a source, "We had all hoped Sienna and George would be a long-term relationship. They always looked so happy together. But they realized it wasnt going to last the distance with Sienna being out in New York with the play for the foreseeable future, so they agreed to part ways. Long-distance love isnt something they were prepared to do and it was a mutual thing that they decided to part. Theyll remain pals and who knows what the future will bring?" I admire that the source is staying optimistic, but then again, it is hard to gauge how realistic it is to have a LDR. Any of you out there in CoutureCandy land have an opinion on long distance relationships?... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/sienna-is-single-again-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/sienna-is-single-again-blog.html Mon, 02 Nov 2009 21:26:15 PDT While Lindsay Lohan still looks pretty out of it (and Im not even going to get into her seriously overly inflated pout), she looked 100 times better than she did when spotted at the grand opening of Quo Nightclub in NYC recently when she made an appearance on Halloween, October 31, at the grand opening night of the Kerzner Mazagan Beach Resort in El Jadida, Morocco. First Mischa in the sighting below, now Lindsay - are Hollywoods most notorious messes slowly but surely pulling themselves together? For her Moroccan appearance, LiLo chose an asymmetrical, flowy patterned dress (for similar dress options, take your pick between Young Fabulous and Brokes Natalie Dress in Green, Meghan Fabulous Nelly Dress in Pearl, and Soul Revivals Desiree Dress in White) with peeptoe brown suede ankle booties, a few simple bangles and a sparkly beaded clutch (try Moyna Handbags Exquisite Beaded Clutch in Ivory/Silver). What are your thoughts everyone - do you think Linds is an improvement here? While Lindsay arrived in Morocco just recently, she has already had the scare of her life. She took to her Twitter account to tell the tale of her harrowing escape from a (phony) gunman. Says LL, "Umm-OMFG! I was walking ahead of Patrick with the security guard and some guy was following me, then pulled up in his car and pointed a GUN at me! I Was on the phone w/my mum and i screamed and ducked and the guy started laughing and pushed the trigger and it was a fake gun..I was crying..he scared me :(" How terrifying!... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/lindsays-scare-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/lindsays-scare-blog.html Mon, 02 Nov 2009 18:26:57 PDT 123... http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/strolling-with-her-pooches-blog.html http://www.couturecandy.com/celebs/strolling-with-her-pooches-blog.html Sun, 01 Nov 2009 23:51:13 PDT "The Hills" star Stephanie Pratt was spotted exploring alternate means of transportation while out and about in Santa Monica on October 28, going for a ride on a hunter green beach cruiser while the paparazzi snapped away. Whether this was a publicity stunt due to her recent DUI arrest after sister-in-law Holly Montags recent birthday party or a legitimate form of exercise, at least Steph is getting out there and being active! For her day of cycling, SP started with a cherry red coat (opt for a longer version with Amberlynns Polly Trench Coat in Cherry, which is completely perfect for fall) over a graphic tee (try Rebel Yells MVP Flutter Tee in White), and paired with a multicolored scarf (Stephs looks like Missoni - so for a more wallet-friendly option, check out Elizabeth Gillett Ltds beautiful Brushed Metallic Scarf in Grey) and a pair of super duper skinny blue jeans (like Earnest Swens Harlan Jean in Wilt). To finish her outfit, Pratt slipped into a pair of leather sneakers and chose a single ring on her left hand. One thing missing? A pair of shades to block out the suns blinding rays - it seems that she can barely see in the picture on the left! What are your thoughts, readers... do you dig Stephanies casual look here? While it made national headlines when she was busted for drinking and driving, she has been formally charged with suspicion of DUI and could face up to six months in jail if convicted. However, Stephanie took to her Twitter account to let the public know what really went down that night. She Tweeted, "i was pulled over 4 tinted windows 3 blocks from where i was sleeping and blew a .08 which was 2 drinks. i made the wrong choice to drive and i take full responsibility. i would never put other peoples lives at risk and want to be very clear that i was not pulled over for unsafe driving. 2 drinks... call a taxi! pls learn from my mistake. love u alllll!"

To emulate her look, pick a sexy dress with a hint of sheer detailing, like Gold Hawks Sheer Overlay Dress in Black or their Sheer Cape Dress in Navy, along with a glitzy clutch like Moyna Handbags Sequin Clutch in Gold/Pewter. Emmy completed her look with a pair of patent black stilettos, silver square detailed earrings (similar to Jessica Elliots Diamond Istanbul Earrings in Silver), a rosy pink lip and an aquamarine eye. What are your thoughts on Rossums look here, readers - does she pull of this edgy style? For those of you besides me who have noticed Emmys recent rise when it comes to red carpet style, she has commented on her unique sense of personal style to the press. She says, "Its constantly changing. Im influenced by a lot of costumes, and sometimes Ill go to the museum and look at the Grecian draping. It makes me feel really jazzed, and makes me want to wear something like that. Thats how I kind of feel tonight."
