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 [...]
Costume Institute Red Carpet Update
After all the anticipation, the countless reports of who’d be wearing what, and which designers would be squiring which celebrities, the Costume Institute ball is over. We had many favorites. Kate Bosworth’s Veronica Lake locks, fire-engine-red lips, and lacy Stella McCartney were a bright spot; as were Jessica Stam’s coppery Rodarte (it matched her hair) [...]
Double Vision
While some stars enjoy a red-carpet surprise (Madonna, we’re looking at you), other celebs stick to a favorite silhouette. For Kirsten Dunst, one of those shapes is a twenties-inspired gown with sheer panels, short sleeves, and marabou detail. Witness the actress’ two Chanel frocks—the navy one she wore tonight to the Met ball and the [...]
Finder’s Phi
Designer Andreas Melbostad will go to bed happy tonight. Models Erin Wasson and Natasha Poly and fashion plates Vanessa Traina and Lauren Santo Domingo all chose body-con Phi looks for their walks up the Met’s steps.

Red Carpet 180
Sexy Lake Bell, who Met watchers will remember sparkled in Balmain before Balmain was big at last year’s ball, went the opposite route tonight. Here she is doing the Victor/Victoria thing in a suit and tie, fedora, and dramatically lined eyes.

Wrapper’s Delight
As rumored over a week ago, Kate Moss donned a turban for her duties as co-host of the Costume Institute Party of the Year. We undersand it’s adorned with Harry Winston’s 18-carat
royal blue sapphire. It’s still early on, but she also appears to be one of the few red carpet-goers who chose a short dress.

Yea, Nay, or Eh: Miley Cyrus in Zuhair Murad at the Academy Awards
Listen, we know Ms. Cyrus wrote a song in a nominated cartoon—sorry, animated feature—about a runaway dog or something, but don’t you think that’s an awfully big dress for someone to be wearing who doesn’t really have a reason to be at the Oscars in the first place? There’s just a lot going on with [...]
