MARDI GRAS MAMA

Posted Feb 08 2010 @ 11:56 PM

Kate Hudson reminds us she's one hot mama while showing off her toned gams in New Orleans on February 6. It's not exactly the warmest time of year, but Kate paid no attention to the temps in a military inspired romper (try Da Nang's Beaded Jumper in Black or Black Halo's classy Rihanna Jumper in Smooth) topped with a cozy brick red cardigan (Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent's Basic Vintage Sweater in Ivory is a great classic style to match any 'fit) and a fringed red tote (just like Carla Mancini's Fringe Messenger Bag in Red). Kate stayed warm in fuzzy sheepskin boots (try Koolaburra's Edie Tall Boot in Chestnut and leave them unlaced to get the same look), accessorizing with a few bangles and Mardi Gras beads to complete her 'fit. Kate brought her son Ryder out to enjoy some of the weekend Mardi Gras parades, accompanied by a few police escorts while gathering multicolored beads and sporting their Saints pride in the city. When I first read "Mardi Gras" and "celebrated with her son" in the same sentence I was a little confused – why would you fly out for a holiday that is essentially the celebration of all things sinful with your 5 year old at your side? Then I realized Kate has been filming her new drama Earthbound in the city, starring as a woman dying of cancer who falls in love with her doctor, played by Gael Garcia Bernal. Sounds a little serious compared to Kate's roles as of late – do you think she can pull it off?

THE RUMORS ARE 'TOTAL BS'

Posted Feb 08 2010 @ 11:38 PM

Making a pretty unlikely sports fan, Angelina Jolie touches down in Miami just in time for the Super Bowl on February 7. Long time love Brad Pitt and 8-year-old Maddox flew in via private jet earlier in the weekend before mama Jolie joined them at the stadium. You’d think at a football game you might opt to support your team by wearing their colors, or at least going casual in jeans and a tee, but not Angie. She arrived at the airport in loose black trousers (AG Jeans' Angel Cord in Super Black is a good winter option), a black tank (T by Alexander Wang's Baggy Silk Tank in Black is a great versatile basic) and classic black Burberry trench (if you can't afford the 2k real thing, stay warm and chic in Suzabelle's Nicolet Trench Coat in Black), carrying a futuristic travel bag over one shoulder and sacrificing fashion for comfort in a pair of flat blat utility boots (Martha Davis' Superhero Short Boot in Black are a way trendier option just as comfortable for travel). Tinted aviators and a plain wrist watch complete Angie's uber plain 'fit. I think it's safe to say this woman is in dire need of a style intervention, don't you think? While her drab and dreary ensemble may not seem very festive, Brad and Angie celebrated the Saints victory with a big smooch captured on camera, officially dispelling rumors that they split (at least on paper) a few weeks ago. It all started when UK's News of the World reported the coupled signed a custody agreement to make their split official, and after canceling several awards show appearances together in January rumors continued to swirl that this outlandish claim might actually be true. Not so fast – their rep claimed the rumors were "total b.s." and the couple was actually signing a form of a pre-nup agreement to protect each other's assets, and their six kiddies. Wonder if this means an official wedding is in the works for the world's hottest couple?

FERG FLIES IN STYLE

Posted Feb 08 2010 @ 11:06 PM

In yet another airport celebrity sighting this week, Fergie was spotted taking flight out of Los Angeles International Airport on February 3. After celebrating 3 Grammy wins at the awards ceremony last Sunday, Ferg jetted out of town, presumably to prepare for her upcoming world tour with The Black Eyed Peas, getting things started with their first show in Atlanta on Feb 4. It's the first time the BEP have been on tour together since 2006, and after the success of "The E.N.D." their tour is sure to be bumpin' with the string of their latest hits, from "I Gotta Feeling" to "Boom Boom Pow." For her flight, Fergie started with comfy J Brand charcoal jeggings (Stitch's Baja Jean in Fade have a similar look) paired with a cocoa tee (Rails' Kenna Scoop T in Mocha is a great basic with cute shoulder details) and brown braided belt (just like Motif 56's Double Sima Belt in Chocolate), topped with a fabulous blue printed coat (channel the blue hue with Woo's Martin Coat in Navy). Ferg accessorized with stacked wooden heels (very similar to Andrea and Joen's Sierra in Camel), an eggplant conductor's cap and grey studded Gerard Darel handbag. Loving the combination of textures and colors she has going on, all pulled together by the printed coat. What do you readers think of this 'fit, would you wear it? After kicking off her first show with her bandmates, Ferg snuck south for the weekend to catch a little football action at the Super Bowl. She couldn't resist partying at the Playboy Super Saturday Night Party at the Sagamore Hotel on the eve of the big game, then rooting on the Saints from the sidelines at stadium the following morning. Looks like 2010 is off to a great start for Ms. Ferg, who also shares 4 Oscar nominations for the musical Nine she starred in earlier this year. If the ladies of Nine are anything as lucky as the BEP at the Grammies, I think Ferg has a great shot at adding to her trophy collection!

HEATING UP NYC

Posted Feb 08 2010 @ 09:58 PM

Continuing on her trail blazing career with fashion flair, Beyonce Knowles celebrates the launch of her fragrance "Beyonce Heat" at Macy's Herald Square in midtown Manhattan on February 3. Striking some seriously fierce poses, B blew some kisses to her fans and signed autographs before the grand finale of her launch party: filling Union Square with red lights and fog to announce her lustworthy new scent. For the event, Beyonce showed off her curves in a fitted navy Rafael Cennamo dress with pleated raised sections at the hip and a waist cinching patent leather belt (try Bailey 44's Beginners Luck Dress in Navy, Single Dress' Boat Neck Dress in Black or Voom by Joy Han's Hooded Long Sleeve Dress in Navy). B took it to the next level with a collection of chain bracelets (love the mixed texture of Orka Messica's Metal Chain Bracelet in Gunmetal) and large dome earrings, adding a spicy pair of red heels to raise the temp of her already sizzling 'fit. The only thing I don't understand: why did she have to pose with her hands inside the hip inserts? Can we say awkward? The hands-on-hips stance is B's signature pose, but it definitely doesn't work with this type of garment. Maybe she forgot to practice with her stylist before the event? B's career is sizzling hotter than ever in 2010, after setting a record at the Grammies a few nights earlier for the most wins by a female artist at the notorious awards ceremony, after she was awarded a total of 6 accolades for her I Am… Sasha Fierce collection of hits. The next venture she'll add to her long list of successes? Video games! Beyonce is lending her namesake along with her line, House of Dereon, to a new Nintendo DSi game called Style Savvy. While filming a commercial for her new endeavor earlier this week, B chatted about how excited she is to be a part of the new game: “I get to be a stylist and take over my own boutique and store! That’s so much fun for me… I feel like I’m giving the fans the opportunity to see what I’m really like and what I really do in my spare time!” I just hope the game is more exciting than B's last Nintendo commercial – not that it wasn't fun to watch B battle it out with the kiddies via Nintendo's handheld gaming system, but I think we fashionistas are much more excited to catch a behind the scenes glimpse at Beyonce's role in her line. If even she is excited about pretending to open a boutique, it must be worth a round or two!

TAKING IN THE BIG GAME

Posted Feb 08 2010 @ 09:46 PM

Jumping into the football frenzy in Miami, Jessica Alba kicks off the Super Bowl weekend with a few cocktails at the Audi Super Bowl party at the South Beach W Hotel on February 5. She tends to be a little camera shy, but Jess was all smiles while enjoying a night out with her hubby Cash Warren and catching up with gal pal and fellow football fan Hilary Swank. At the Audi party, Jessica lit up the room in her neon floral embossed frock (add some color to your spring wardrobe with similar tank dresses like Isabel Lu's Tank Dress in Pink, Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent's Ruffle Tank Dress in Teal or Fernanda Carneiro's Mod Geometric Tank Dress in Raspberry Combo). I don't really love the platform peeptoes she picked to go with this (I prefer a sleeker style like Samanta's Viv Peep in Black), but they do pair really well with her chunky bib necklace (add flair to your 'fit with Amrita Singh's Teteo Necklace in Black). I'm sensing a spring trend coming on with this type of clunky jewelry, also worn by Jessica Simpson in LA a few weeks ago. It looks a little bit awkward to me – am I missing something in the appeal here? While not everyone can pull off such a bold shade of dress, I do have to say Jess looks amazing in her electric yellow frock – she looks super tan and the cute new bob doesn't hurt either! What do you think of Ms. Alba's Super Bowl style? At the Audi event, Jess shared with the press that she and the fam are rooting on the Saints, dishing that her dad is a huge Reggie Bush fan. Lucky for her, she and Cash got to cheer the Saints to victory from field level seats during the Sunday game. Not a bad way to celebrate!

BASHING MONTAG

Posted Feb 08 2010 @ 04:19 PM

The adorable Emmy Rossum was spotted smiling for the paps as she made her way through LAX on February 4, pulling along her Louis Vuitton suitcase and donning a tan fedora with a black ribbon. ER kept it casual for the rest of her 'fit, pairing medium wash skinny denim (like Genetic Denim's The Gabrielle Jean in Brighter Day) with a heather grey longsleeve t-shirt (check out similar options in either Raw 7's Long Sleeve Modal Crosswing Shirt in Dark Grey or P.G.D. Style's Basic Lonsleeve Tee in Clay), gold chain shoulder bag (for an extra bit of sparkle, check out Inge Christopher's Armadillo Trapezoid Clutch in Gold), and black ballet flats (like Coye Nokes' Amelia Flat in Black or Gwyneth Shoes' glitzy Maxie Sequin Flat in Black/Silver). What are your thoughts on Emmy's airport ensemble, readers? Do you think she looks beautiful or boring? It seems like so many stars (well, mostly "The Hills" cast mates) are discussing Heidi Montag's shocking plastic surgery, and Emmy posted a message to her official Twitter account about her thoughts on the whole situation. She oh-so-eloquently said, "It upsets me to see young women in the spotlight advocating plastic surgery. ANY surgery is extremely dangerous&should not be taken lightly, much less, used as a tool to increase notoriety or popularity. By putting this on magazine covers, we are somehow legitimizing the dangerous lengths to which some will go for fame and beauty. There are so many REAL ISSUES in this world that NEED attention. Let's try to take a moment to be grateful we are ALIVE." Amen! I totally agree with Emmy, what are your thoughts?

SAVING HIS JOB

Posted Feb 08 2010 @ 02:59 PM

Pay attention, Paris Hilton: if you want to color coordinate an outfit, this is how you do it. Supermodel Miranda Kerr was spotted exiting a car and arriving at Star City Casino in Sydney, Australia for a photo shoot on February 4, looking classic yet still incredibly stylish. We all know that MK loves a good maxi dress (in fact, this is almost an exact replica of an outfit she wore back on July 31), and donned a grey-green frock (check out James Perse's Henley Racerback Dress in Fin or Tt Collection's Christophe Double Layer Gown in Taupe/Black) under a classic black blazer (give either Zoa's Classic Fit Blazer in Black or Isabel Lu's Flap Oversized Blazer in Navy Black a shot), and paired with tri-colored gladiator heels and a black pedicure. The grey-green shade on her heels is pretty much identical to the hue of her dress, and plays well with the black blazer and toenails. Overall, very polished and pretty! What are your thoughts, readers - is this something you would wear? I'm not sure whether or not you heard about the recent scandal where Macquarie banker David Kiely was caught looking at near-nude photos of Miranda on live TV, but let me fill you in. While colleague Martin Lakos was being interviewed, Kiely's computer monitor could be seen in the background and he was perusing photos from Miranda's recent GQ shoot. Oops! While you may think this would lead to Kiely being fired, it seems that luck is on his side. "He will remain an employee of Macquarie," the bank said. "Macquarie and the employee apologize for any offence that may have been caused." Kerr herself got wind of this sticky situation, and said: "I am told there is a petition to save his job and of course I would sign it." She seems like such a sweetie, however if you're at work and ogling famous supermodels, make sure no cameras are around!

TOUR TALK

Posted Feb 07 2010 @ 11:08 PM

Looking absolutely smashing, it appears that Rihanna color-coordinated with the blue carpet as she hosted the Pepsi Refresh Project Kickoff Party at LIV Nightclub at the Fonatinebleau Hotel in Miami on February 5. RiRi chose a strapless abstract Christian Siriano Spring 2010 mini dress (try two of Interlud's strapless options, like the Layered Art Deco Mini in Teal or the Pebbles Party Dress in Grey Dot, for two similar options) paired with barely there nude strappy Jimmy Choo heels and chunky jewelry. Try Ettika's Layered Tennis Bracelet in Multi to emulate Rihanna's chain bracelet, or check out Michele Michel Jewelry's Hammered Butter Earrings in Silver if you like her sparkly earrings. Overall, though, do you think this is a winning look for the sultry singer? I really like it! The color looks great against her skin. While at the Pepsi event, Rihanna talked to the press about her upcoming tour, saying: "We're starting to get a little more technical, have a little more fun with things like that, doing bigger things and getting ready for the tour." She's scheduled to hit the US with her tour this summer, so keep your eyes peeled for tickets, Ri fans! Of course she was also asked who she was rooting for in the Super Bowl, to which she replied, "You know they're both really great teams but I'm rooting for the Saints. But who knows? We'll see." Looks like she got her wish!

AVOIDING A MALFUNCTION

Posted Feb 07 2010 @ 10:41 PM

Kim Kardashian, beau Reggie Bush, and mama Kris Jenner were spotted dining at Prime 112 in Miami on February 5, and it appears that Kim was doing the best she could to avoid a wardrobe malfunction as she made her way into the restaurant. For her sizzling Miami look, she chose a brightly colored mini dress (for similar options, check out Meghan Fabulous' Susannah Dress in Teal or Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent's St Lucia Slip Mini Dress in Multi) and paired it with black patent platforms, a black clutch (like Elaine Turner's Allie Clutch in Black), and a double finger ring (very similar to Erica Anenberg's Double Finger Ring in Sterling Silver). It also seem like Kim got a fresh spray tan and false eyelash application before stepping out to dinner! As I'm sure you know, Kim is in Miami to support Reggie for the Super Bowl, and it looks like her support paid off. His team, the New Orleans Saints, won the big game! Of course, Kim took to her official Twitter account last night and posted "Going to bed! Had a quick bite w the fam, now praying I can even fall asleep! Tomorrow is such a big day! Tweet dreams!" Earlier today, her anticipation was building as she said "In route to the stadium. Let's go Saints! The energy is in the air!" After all was said and done and the Saints were victorious, Kim announced "Who dat there gonna beat them Saints!!!! We won the SUPERBOWL!!!!!!" Congrats Reggie, and congrats to you too Kim!

BFF BDAY SURPRISE

Posted Feb 07 2010 @ 10:30 PM

Looking annoyed after waiting in some long lines at LAX, Kirsten Dunst catches a departing flight from the Los Angeles airport on February 6. I don't often have positive things to say about Kiki's style, but I'm loving the polished, subtly trendy vibe she's got going on. KD started with black tights under black cuffed shorts (like Hudson's Hayden Signature Short in Black), a cream colored blouse (try Da Nang's casual 3/4 Sleeve Embroidered Blouse in Opal), camel overcoat (keep it classy in Suzabelle's Nicolet Trench Coat in Classic Taupe) and printed scarf (check out A Graves' Floral Print in Marino Wool Brown). From there she added black accessories, opting for black suede ankle boots (try the similar shape of Gwyneth Shoes' Langston Ankle Boot in Black), two black carry on bags (my latest obsession is Tylie Malibu's Jett Bag in Black, large enough for travel and small enough for everyday use) and stealthy sunnies keeping her peepers covered. She could still use a little help in the hair and makeup department, but I think this is a vast improvement compared to her everyday looks of the past, don't you think? It's not an easy look to pull off, but I'm especially loving the boots with the tights and shorts. Are any of you finding ways to show off your gams in chilly temps like this? Unlike Halle Berry last week, KD received no special treatment in the security line, and even had to remove her ankle boots before stepping through the screening machine! Maybe it's a good thing to see a celeb not requesting special treatment, but Kiki pulled out all the stops the weekend before while celebrating her BFF Jessica's birthday in Sin City. KD treated her pal and a group of friends, including Rilo Kiley lead singer Jenny Lewis and Kiki's new love, drummer Jason Boesel, to a weekend of birthday shenanigans. Beginning with a private dinner at Lavo in the Palazzo, followed by bottle service in the club and late night partying at Tao in the Venetian, the night ended at the blackjack tables before the ladies got their beauty sleep and continued to party the following night at a private table at Tao Beach. From their swanky itinerary I wish I was Kiki's BFF! Wonder if there's room for one more in their entourage?
