Who Wore It Best At The Tonys?
The Tony Awards are presented annually for the best of Broadway, but you’d be forgiven if you mistook last night’s ceremony for a Hollywood affair—the attendees, and even many of the winners, were faces better recognized from the silver screen.

Who Is Fan Bingbing?
In the fishbowl that is Cannes, watching the same starlets hit the carpet over and over can get a little dull. Can and could—but doesn’t, this year, thanks largely to the Chinese superstar Fan Bingbing, who consistently looks great in everything from dragon-emblazoned Chinese gowns to Parisian couture.

The sharp, soot-colored suits at Anne Valérie Hash and Armani Privé recalled the fitted tailoring [...]
Blasblog From Paris: No Really, Kanye Really Loves fashion
Now, I haven’t been the only one to document Kanye West’s current obsession with anything and everything having to do with high fashion. It’s been reported in nearly every media outlet that if there’s a runway, you can expect Kanye (or “Kenny,” as the French and Japanese paparazzi refer to him) to be there. But [...]
Bridezillas and Elie Saab to the Economic Rescue
Has there been a better moment for Elie Saab since Halle Berry accepted her Oscar wearing the now legendary burgundy see-through confection in 2002? “There have been hundreds of mini-moments like that, but nothing like that for sheer impact,” said the gentleman designer, making a rare in-store appearance at the launch of his first-ever U.K. [...]
