Yea, Nay, Or Eh? Cate Blanchett, Lady In Red

Cate Blanchett is one of the all-time greats when it comes to red-carpet style. She usually nails it (we’ll look past the ill-received gold fringed Balenciaga gown worn at the 2007 Costume Institute Gala), even at events that are not exactly high-profile. For the 30th anniversary of SKII skincare in Tokyo, the actress—who is also [...]

And The Winner Is…At Jean Paul Gaultier

That new face who had us scratching our heads at yesterday’s Jean Paul Gaultier haute couture show? She could pass for Sessilee Lopez’s twin—the Philly-born catwalker does have one, though her sister is only 5′ 6″—but the mystery model is actually Chloé Mortaud, Miss France 2009. Gaultier reportedly became enchanted by the beauty queen while [...]

Yea, Nay, Or Eh? ScarJo Gets Serious

Scarlett Johansson’s va-va-voom physique and Dolce & Gabbana’s seductive eveningwear are a match made in fashion heaven. We’re not surprised that the actress—who also served as the face of the brand’s beauty campaign last year—went with her old stand-by for the premiere of A View From the Bridge. Johansson clearly wanted a more mature look [...]

Catherine Malandrino Goes Global, Name-Checks Tavi

Catherine Malandrino’s feeling footloose for pre-fall: She dubbed her collection “iGypsy” and took the occasion to show pieces from the lower-priced Catherine Malandrino line. “I wanted it to be about a modern, everyday wardrobe,” she explained of the silk jersey dresses, airy bouclé sweater coats, and washed leather jackets on display. A sense of ease [...]

Who’s Wearing Whom?

Here at Style.com, there are few things we like more come awards season than a game of “Which Designer Will They Wear?” Some actresses make it relatively easy—can you remember the last time Renée Zellweger hit the red carpet in anything but Carolina Herrera? Others, like Penélope Cruz and Chloë Sevigny, keep us guessing. With [...]

No, Really: This Denim Is Banana’s

If you’ve ever bemoaned the gulf between premium denim and Forever 21’s $9.50 jean (yes, you read that right), a trip to your local mall could be in order. The latest in Banana Republic’s efforts to gently reshape its image centers around the New Blues, a well-rounded collection of classically cool—and American-made—denim staples. The brand [...]

Yay, Nay, Or Eh: It’s The Great Pumpkin, Amber Valletta?

Can you name your favorite red-carpet moment involving an orange dress? Neither can we. Colors commonly associated with gourds are not exactly the most wearable tones, which is why we’ve got to give Amber Valletta credit for pulling off this safety-orange-hued RM by Roland Mouret frock for the premiere of The Spy Next Door. (She [...]

Ashish’s New Gold Standard

Topshop is the undisputed king of high-low collaborations, turning out more guest-designed collections each season than we can keep track of. But don’t miss Ashish Gupta’s, whose Spring capsule marks his fourth season working with the retailer. He’s not new to the game, but he’s got more buzz than ever: A leopard mega-platform wedge boot [...]

Are You A Lolita?

Thirteen-year-old blogging sensations are just the beginning. For Spring, designers kicked their youth obsession up a notch by indulging in some Lolita fantasies. Christopher Kane drew inspiration directly from the Kubrick movie for his sweet gingham baby-doll dresses, and Stella McCartney’s off-the-shoulder ruffled blouse and Moschino Cheap & Chic’s retro two-piece and floppy sun hat [...]

The Kids Are Alright

Teen Vogue’s pages are chock-full of standout wares, making issues a must-read even for those who, ahem, might not exactly fit into the target demographic. That’s why we’re psyched for the magazine’s latest incarnation: iPhone app. In the newly launched Haute Spot application—available free of charge until January 22—users can scroll through editor-picked clothes and [...]
