AnnaLynne McCord seen on Oct 18 2009 in Beverly Hills, CA. "90210" star AnnaLynne McCord was honored for her positive philanthropic contributions at the 1st Annual Noble Humanitarian Awards held in Beverly Hills on October 18, rocking the hand-on-hip pose and her signature smoldering facial expression. Wearing a black and pink asymmetrical Lloyd Klein silk dress (Tt Collection's Audrey Dress in Black is similar, or if you are feeling frisky and in the mood for bubblegum pink, try Voom by Joy Han's Metallic Mini in Fuchsia) that she paired with classic black Jimmy Choo heels, AnnaLynne kept her glamorous accessories to a minimum, choosing only Marcia Moran's dazzling square ring and matching round earrings (check out Marcia Moran's Circle Disc Earring in Rhodium Plated for an equally chic look). What are your thoughts on AM's look here - do you think she looks hot, or did she miss the mark? In other AnnaLynne news, it seems that producers of her show think that she has that it factor, making the show more central around her character Naomi. Entertainment Weekly reports, "Moving AnnaLynne's immensely entertaining heroine Naomi front and center has certainly helped [the show]." The mag continues, quoting Rebecca Sinclair, who took over as showrunner last spring, as saying "AnnaLynne has moxie, and I wanted to tap into that. Plus, she's hilarious." What are your thoughts, readers - do you think that the show's producers are making the right move by focusing more on her character?
AnnaLynne McCord seen on Aug 15 2009 in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA. "90210" star AnnaLynne McCord was spotted making an appearance on the red carpet of Catalyst at Terranea’s Midsummer Fashion Event in Rancho Palos Verdes on Saturday, August 15, rocking the classic hand-on-hip pose and alternating between smiling and her sultry pout. For her event-worthy look, AM started with a bright pink tank (try Susana Monaco's Sonja Halter in Dark Guava) over a pair of skintight leather pants (opt for a denim version with Habitual Jeans' Ava Skinny Jean in Black Tea), in addition to a pair of studded heels and her wavy natural locks. Jewelry wise, AnnaLynne chose a multi-level chain necklace (similar to Robyn Rhodes' Grace Necklace in Gold) with a bracelet that is very similar to CC Skye's Double Wrap Bracelet in Black. What is your opinion on AM's look, too casual or pretty in pink? The CW bad-girl is speaking out to Teen Vogue about her upcoming film plans while on haitus from her show, and says, "Well, right now I'm locked down for the next 9 months with "90210," but I've got a film project kind of in the works for the "90210" filming hiatus... I don't want to say too much, but it would be a very kick butt role! If everything works out it would be so much fun, and so different, think motorcycles and kicking butt! I'd need to start martial arts training, which would be so cool." She goes on to say, about whether or not she's a tomboy, "I'm kind of a BIG tomboy! I've really had to come around to my girly side to play Naomi. I'd much rather be out at, like, a gun range than a spa! I actually just got some pellet guns and I set up some targets in my backyard - I'm a surprisingly good shot! So... yeah, that would be the ultimate role for me!" What do you think, could you see AnnaLynne in a butt-kicking role like this?
AnnaLynne McCord seen on Jun 04 2009 in Los Angeles, CA. "90210" star AnnaLynne McCord was seen striking her signature seductive poses and flaunting her svelte figure at the premiere of The Taking of Pelham 123 in LA on June 4. Opting for a long, sleek, black dress with detailing on the neckline (try Ella Moss' Olive Dress in Black or Sue Wong's intricate Beaded Halter Long Gown in Black, or for a shorter version that's similar to AnnaLynne's, check out Gold Hawk's Tribal Queen Shift Dress in Moonless Night) with black patent leather t-strap sandals and a chunky silver bracelet (check out Michele Michel Jewelry's Swirl Bracelet in Silver), AnnaLynne kept her voluminous curls for the movie premiere. Before her big red carpet night, AM was photographed by paparazzi going for a shopping trip on Robertson Boulevard, making stops at such stores as Alice + Olivia. For those of you out there who can't wait for the Twilight sequel New Moon, it looks like AnnaLynne is definitely not going to be taking the lead role of Heidi in the film. A few months ago she said "We are in negotiations. It's definitely something I would love to do; as most people know, I am obsessed with vampires. I'm a true-blood 'Twilight' fan all the way. We'll see what happens with it, but hopefully — fingers crossed — it'll smooth over and we'll be able to work it out." Looks like her fingers weren't crossed hard enough, because her schedule wouldn't allow her to take the role. Now, she says, "There was scheduling conflicts and I really just needed a break. I worked two years, I came straight off 'Nip/Tuck' and on to '90210' and it's wonderful to work, but I needed some R&R." She continues, "I was [upset] 'cause I really love the film, all of them, the books and everything and I have a lot of friends on the movies. But in the end, I got to go to Europe for two months... so I can't say that I'm too pissed." What do you think, readers - do you think she'll regret her decision?
AnnaLynne McCord seen on Mar 22 2009 in Los Angeles, CA. AnnaLynne McCord made an appearance on the red carpet of the 90210/Wii Event in Los Angeles on March 22, looking particularly out of it slash wasted if I do say so myself! Maybe it was just a few bad shots, but pretty much every other picture I've seen of her from this event is the same. She definitely looks like she got ahold of the good stuff before this event! For her outfit, AM slipped her petite figure into a body-hugging corset dress (I seriously feel like she owns this dress in 50 colors and wears it to every event she attends - for similar options, try Black Halo's Strapless Bustier Dress in White or Ecoganik's Mallary Shift Dress in Rose) with matching pale pink strappy heels and oversized chain bracelets on each wrist (check out Amy DiGregorio's Coolidge Street Bracelet in 14k Gold Filled for a similar look with a splash of turquoise). Are you into McCords look here? Pretty but predictable, I say. For those of you who caught that AnnaLynne smashed her new Mini Cooper into a Range Rover in LA a few weeks ago, it seems that the blonde starlet has already replaced the totaled car. She says, "It’s just a sore issue. Someone stopped in front of me, and I couldn’t stop. I’m OK, but my car is totalled. I just got the car two months ago. It was my baby. I was in love with it, and now it’s done." Aw... her baby is gone! However, a new baby has been born, as AM was seen cruising up to the Four Seasons Hotel yesterday in a brand new convertible Cooper, to meet co-star Shenae Grimes for a bite to eat. Must be nice to be able to immediately replace your car if you get in an accident!
AnnaLynne McCord seen on Feb 26 2009 in Hollywood, CA. AnnaLynne McCord was spotted leaving Bar Delux in Hollywood last night, February 26, with a red rose in hand - and I am seriously wondering WHAT is going on with her self tanner/makeup situation here? It's like way too much tanner on her nose, cheeks and chin, and then ghost white around her eyes. I don't get it and I don't enjoy it. Check a mirror before leaving the house, girl! I'm also not too sure how I feel about this outfit of hers... it's a little too Paris Hilton-y for my taste. In a figure-hugging white dress that I feel like I've seen her wear a billion times before (for a similarly sweet little number, check out D&G's Cotton Stripe Dress in Khaki) with a firetruck red waist belt (try Linea Pelle Collection's Suede and Gunmental Grommet Waist Belt in Crimson) and matching shoes, the only piece I slightly like is the snakeskin scarf (for a similar piece, take a peek at A Graves' Paisley Scarf in Grey). I don't know though, that is just my two cents - what are your thoughts? While AM express interest in participating in the new Twilight sequel, New Moon, it looks like it is not going to happen. McCord tells OK!, "I am so disappointed, but it doesn't look like it is going to happen with my schedule," of playing the role of Heidi. Geez, it seems like just about everyone in Hollywood (I've even heard rumors about Madonna!) is interested in having a piece of the New Moon pie. I think everyone just needs to take a chill pill - if it's meant to be, you'll be cast!
AnnaLynne McCord seen on Jan 27 2009 in Hollywood, CA. The always seductive looking AnnaLynne McCord was spotted posing and blowing kisses on the red carpet of the "Afro Samurai" Launch Event held at Geisha House in Hollywood last night, January 27, sporting a sleek, straightened hairstyle. I like! For her outfit, AM slipped into a form-fitting LBD (check out similar options from Ingwa Melero, like the Sofia Dress in Jet Black, or from Shumaq, like the Marrisa Dress in Black) and paired with black heels, red nails and a matching necklace with deep red stones (take a peek at Amy DeGregorio's Cherry Valley Necklace in 14k Gold Filled). What do you think of AnnaLynne's outfit - love it or lose it? For those "Nip/Tuck" fans out there, AnnaLynne made a brief appearance as the evil Eden on last night's new episode, which will probably be her last considering the way she exited at the end. I won't spoil it for anyone, but what an exit it was! For those of you who watch the show, what do you think about Eden peacing out? I wish she'd leave "90210" and head back to "Nip/Tuck" as a series regular; her character brought a definite level of spice to the show!
AnnaLynne McCord seen on Jan 03 2009 in Beverly Hills, CA. "90210" star AnnaLynne McCord was spotted going for a mini shopping spree at Harmony Lane boutique in Beverly Hills earlier today, January 3, accompanied by her sister Rachel and a fluffy white dog. Modeling her outfits for the paparazzi and chatting with other customers about her new manicure featuring the New England Patriots logo, AnnaLynne carried out her purchases in two large bags as she left the store. For her shopping spree style, AM started with a black pinstripe blazer (like William Rast's Blazer in Black) over a matching vest (similar to Gold Hawk's Men's Vest in Black/Blue) and floral patterned blouse (check out Lotta Stensson's Ruffle V Neck Top in Blue Print). Next up, she grabbed a black leather tote (like Rough Roses' Whitney Tote in Black), a pair of knee-high leather boots, and oversized black aviators, and finally slipped into a pair of dark grey skinny jeans (very similar to Denim of Virtue's Patience 5 Pocket Tapered Jean in Dark Grey). Do you approve of AnnaLynne's look here - or do you think there's too much going on? CoutureCandy readers weigh in! Always one to give to charity, AnnaLynne is donating her time to The National Aids Fund by participating in a kissing booth at the Armani Exchange store in Santa Monica this Saturday, February 7. In addition to Armani donating a percentage of their sales for the day to the Fund, AnnaLynne is hosting the event with "Lipstick Jungle" star Robert Buckley. Hey, at least she's using her sex appeal for a good cause!
AnnaLynne McCord seen on Dec 31 2008 in Miami, FL. "90210" star AnnaLynne McCord was spotted ringing in the New Year with friends at B.E.D. nightclub in Miami, Fl last night, December 31. After stepping out the night before with a straight, dark hairstyle (which turned out to be a wig, as I expected), AnnaLynne let her blonde curls run wild as she partied with other young stars, such as Kellan Lutz, Bonnie Somerville, and Ashley Greene at the club. For her New Year's Eve look, AM chose CC Skye's dramatic Power Ring in Gold along with an oversized gold necklace and a slinky turquoise dress. LaROK makes a few great party dresses in a similar shade, like the Cross Me Not Dress and the Studded Dream Dress, both in a color called Eden, very fitting as AnnaLynne portrayed Eden Lord on "Nip/Tuck"! Responsibly photographed sipping a bottle of Evian as she left the club (this may or may not be due to the fact that paparazzi were snapping away), AnnaLynne is one sultry star whose fame will definitely be on the rise in 2009. She's hard to ignore! AnnaLynne has spoken out recently about the casting of Matt Lanter on "90210," who has been cast as her new love interest. McCord says, "They’re kind of welcoming him as the new Dylan. He’s my love interest, which is about time, because [my character] Naomi, has been seriously lacking in that area! They’re throwing me a bone! It’s about time!" She continued, "He’s sexy. He’s definitely what Naomi’s been needing. It’s going to amp up the show a little bit. I think it’s going to be hot!" Hmm.. is Matt what Naomi needs, or what AnnaLynne needs? Sounds like the latter!
AnnaLynne McCord seen on Dec 04 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. "90210" star AnnaLynne McCord was spotted waiting for the valet at Mr. Chow in LA after dining with the director of her show last night, December 4, looking glamorous with her cherry red lips and loose waves. Matching her bag to her lips, AnnaLynne chose a bright red patent bag, similar to Rocco e Dante Handbags' Rocco East West Bag in Red Patent, for her nighttime meeting. For the rest of her look, she chose a large black and silver shawl (similar to Elizabeth Gillett Ltd's Delphina Shawl in Black) over a black turtleneck (like Ecoganik's Jersey Turtleneck Tunic in Black) and skinny dark wash denim (check out Joe's Jeans' Cigarette Super Slim Jean in Kennedy) and black fringed boots. What do you think of AnnaLynne's voluminous look- love it or leave it? In other AnnaLynne news, it seems that this Hollywood newcomer may be the object of Sam Ronson's affection. A source says, after Samantha met AnnaLynne at a party in Hollywood, "Sam thought she was gorgeous. She got a great vibe from her." Now we all know that McCord was spotted smooching another girl after a lunch last month- but I think that might have just been to stir up some attention. What do you think, do you get the vibe that AnnaLynne is into girls?
AnnaLynne McCord seen on Oct 10 2008 in Hollywood, CA. "90210" star AnnaLynne McCord was spotted hosting Planet Funk’s Fashion Week Kick-Off Party presented by LA Direct Magazine (which she just happens to be on the cover of their new issue!) at Kress Supper Club in Hollywood on October 10. AnnaLynne stuck to black and white (with a pop of gold in the shoes) for her red carpet appearance, starting with a basic white cami (like Zoa's Logo Camisole in White) and pairing with a black vest (similar to Black Halo's Shawl Collar Vest in Black). Next up came a pair of straight leg black denim (like James Jeans' High Rise Straight Leg Jean in Black Flex), along with a high-impact oversized belt that I don't think I'm too fond of and a black clutch (like Julie K Handbags' Sasha Clutch in Black Glaze). She finished her look off with a wavy updo and a thick black leather cuff. I feel like this girl always has some sort of edge to her whenever she is photographed at an event, and I like it! Spices up the generic Hollywood scene a bit. While people seem to think that there is a bit of a battle between the new "90210" and CW staple "Gossip Girl," Annalynne is speaking out about who would win in a contest for best makeup. She says, "We beat the makeup by far, I’ll tell ya that! But oh my god, Leighton [Meester]– I love her. She rocks that show." I have to say I agree with her, I love me some Blair Waldorf. But then again, I am pretty loyal to Little J!
AnnaLynne McCord seen on Sep 20 2008 in Beverly Hills, CA. Annalynne McCord was spotted looking lovely at the 2008 Pre-Emmys DPA Gifting Lounge in Beverly Hills on September 20, along with many other celebs hoping to scoop up as much free swag as possible. Hey, I'd do the same thing if I could! Sporting a long, ruffled purple dress (Lotta Stensson's Long Gathered Tube Dress in Plum is a jersey version of Annalynne's in a similar shade) with an oversized white bracelet (check out Rachel Leigh's Panel Bangle in White for a similar look) and gold linked necklace (Marnie Rocks' 14k Gold Filled Chain Double Necklace is a similar and a bit more dainty), Annalynne looked gorgeous as always. She is definitely growing to be one of my favorites of the crop of new starlets! And just as a side note, after the premiere of the new "90210" I wasn't sure how much I liked the show, but I think it just keeps getting better after every episode. What are your thoughts on the new show? Annalynne is speaking to the press about her take on her character Naomi, the "bad girl" on "90210." Of the role, she says, "She's got daddy's money and she likes to spend it, but she's very intelligent. Initially, you'll label her as a bitch, but you'll quickly see that she goes through so much that you almost understand why she's got an edge to her. She is kind of a chameleon, so she manipulates a lot to get her way. It has to be Naomi's way or the highway, so she'll be someone with the principal and then someone else with her mother and then someone else with her friend." I love characters like this that have a lot of depth to them, and I think that Annalynne might just be the perfect actress to tackle this interesting role. Plus, I loved her on "Nip/Tuck"!
AnnaLynne McCord seen on Sep 04 2008 in Hollywood, CA. Star of "90210" and all-around seductress AnnaLynne McCord hit up Nylon Magazine's TV Issue Event featuring "90210" last night, September 4, at Tropicana Bar at the Roosevelt Hotel, sizzling in front of the cameras in a tight black leather dress. For a similar look that is a tad less S&M, check out offerings from LaROK (like the Victoria Dress in Black), Karina Grimaldi (like the Martina Dress in Black), and Black Halo (like the Bustier Dress in Amber). This girl sure knows how to work the carpet, and she is still fresh on the scene! I think I have a new favorite. AnnaLynne confessed to OK! Magazine that she is currently on the market, so all the men out there should make their moves sooner than later! She says, "I’m single. My ex of four years, we broke up recently but we’re best friends. He’s the love of my life." They broke up and they're still BFF? How admirable!
