Stars in Bikinis

    Jenna Jameson, porn star extraordinaire, gave birth to twin boys a mere 4 weeks ago. Today, she posted this post-baby bikini photo of herself on her MySpace page. WOW! She looks great, and attributes it to staying in shape during pregnancy. From her MySpace: "When it came to pushing them out, I truly believe the 500 sit ups a day paid off. I was able to push my 5 pound Jesse out in 5 pushes. Journey who was 4lb 11oz was out in 3 pushes. I loved the whole process of being pregnant and I hope to have another baby someday.... but in the meantime, I'm having a blast with my two little monsters." Aww...

Aww...it almost makes us feel bad for thinking "c-section tummy tuck!"

Foundation Replaces Lipstick as the Must-Have Beauty Item During This Recession

Filed under: Style in the News, Cosmetics, Polls and Quizzes, Beauty Tips

The correlation between financial recessions and increased cosmetic sales has long been noted by economists and beauty industry watchers -- conventional wisdom is that when faced with financial uncertainty, women turn to little luxuries rather than investing in pricey and trendy items (like handbags).

The cosmetic of choice for recessionistas has traditionally been a tube of red lipstick -- think late 20's, early 30's flapper glam -- because it gives the most transformational color bang for its buck.

But we've all heard that this recession is different than any other, and it turns out that this rhetoric applies to our penny-pinching cosmetic choices as well. The Financial Times reports that this time around women are splurging on foundation rather than lipstick.

We want to know -- What's your must-have recession beauty item?

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Polls and Quizzes

Drumroll, please! Stylelist readers have sussed out the good, the bad, and the just plain U-G-L-Y in our 2008 Style Superlatives Awards. From the celebrity Most in Need of a Botox Intervention to the Most Embarassing Style Moment of the Year (hint: it's fanny-tastic!), click on the pictures below to see the best and worst of 2008.

Style Superlatives 2008 - The Winners!

    Most in Need of a Botox Intervention: Meg Ryan

    Taking the crown for "Most Botoxed" with a whopping 45.9% of the vote, Meg Ryan's love for fillers and injections has left her looking little like the gal we fell in love with in When Harry Met Sally.

    Getty Images

    Best Red Carpet Breakout: Leighton Meester

    Winning with 26.4% of the vote and edging out Rihanna by a fashionable thread Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester proved this year that she can rock the red carpet as well as she rocks 5th Avenue.

    Getty Images

    Beauty Trend to Say Buhbye to: Katie's Boy Cut

    2008 was the year of the boy crop, and 39.3% of Stylelist voters would like to keep it that way. While the cut lengthens the neck and shows off the face, you're hoping that the "boy-cut" of 2009 will be the "grow-out."


    Getty Images

    Best Cleavage of 2008: Salma Hayek

    44.8% of voters thought Salma Hayek's cleavage was the bust of 2008. Here, she's pictured taking a stroll with her little girl, and her big girls.

    Getty Images

    Chicest Red Carpet Couple: Victoria & David Beckham

    34.2% of voters thought the London transplants made the biggest splash on the celebrity social scene - raising the fashion bar (and sometimes eyebrows) with every event.

    Getty Images

    Best Hair Color Makeover 2008: Evan Rachel Wood

    33.7% of voters loved Evan Rachel Wood's petty new shade. She recently lightened up her goth black locks to strawberry red. We love how the peachy tones in this supernatural shade play up her pale complexion.

    Getty Images

    Most M.I.A. Stylista: Julia Roberts

    Where in the world is Julie Roberts? 26.6% of voters deemed her 2008's most M.I.A. celebrity. The new-ish mom has been conspicuously absent from the big screen since wrapping Charlie Wilson's War last year. But good news for all you JR missers - she's slotted for 2009's Duplicity and 2010's The Knitting Club

    Getty Images

    Most in Need of a Dermatologist: Amy Winehouse

    No re-count needed on this one: 92.5% of voters thought Amy Winehouse had the worst skin of 2008. The 25 year-old singer started the year as a fashion darling only to decline into a drug-fueled skinferno.

    Getty Images

    Most Embarrassing Style Moment: Geri Halliwell's Butt-tastic Dress

    46.3% of voters found this outfit to be the most, err, cheeky. Geri Halliwell, better known as Ginger Spice, attended the British Academy Children's Awards in London wearing this ruffled red dress. The hot mama looked lovely until a gust of wind revealed more than she was planning to show! What what? That's her butt!

Style Superlatives 2008 - Embarassing Moment

    Nominee for Most Embarrassing Style Moment: Geri Halliwell's Butt-tastic Dress

    Geri Halliwell, better known as Ginger Spice, attended the British Academy Children's Awards in London wearing this ruffled red dress. The hot mama looked lovely until a gust of wind revealed more than she was planning to show! What what? That's her butt!

    Getty Images

    Nominee for Most Embarrassing Style Moment: Sarah Palin's $150,000 Shopping Spree

    Neiman Marcus, $75,062.63. Saks Fifth Avenue, $49,425.74. Hair and makeup, $4,716.49. A highly publicized shopping spree that may have cost her ticket the presidency? Priceless.

    Getty Images

    Nominee for Most Embarrassing Style Moment: Lindsay Lohan's Skirt Snafu

    Here's La Lohan living every girl's worst bathroom nightmare: The unconscious skirt tuck-in. The only thing that could possibly make this pix more embarrassing? Toilet paper, dragging from her feet.

    Getty Images

    Nominee for Most Embarrassing Style Moment: Naomi Watts' Visible Pasties

    Naomi knows that stick-on pasties are one of the best ways to avoid a nipple outage when wearing "challenging" dresses. But, what she didn't forecast was the fact that the shiny stickies reflect a mean flash. Moral of the story: Opt for matte pasties, or wear them under material that's opaque.

    Getty Images

    Nominee for Most Embarrassing Style Moment: Sarah Jessica Parker's "Used" Gown

    Confession: It's not SJP's fault that she's on this list. We think she looked absolutely stunning at the Sex in the City premiere, wearing Nina Ricci's flowing, liquid silver gown. But what she didn't know was that the dress had already been worn - twice! - by socialite Lauren Santo Domingo at the Met Ball and Lindsay Lohan in a Disney ad campaign. Shame on Nina Ricci designer Olivier Theyskens, who assured SJP the dress was an exclusive, even though he personally escorted Santo Domingo to the Met gala. The nerve!

Style Superlatives 2008 - Worst Skin

    Nominee for Most in Need of a Dermatologist: Amy Winehouse

    25 year old Amy Winehouse's skin needs rehab as much as she does.

    Getty Images

    Nominee for Most in Need of a Dermatologist: Britney Spears

    While focusing on her big Circus comeback, Britney Spears, 27, needs to play ringmaster to the breakouts on her chin.

    Getty Images

    Nominee for Most in Need of a Dermatologist: Cameron Diaz

    36 year old Cameron Diaz has always battled acne. But now that she's fighting wrinkles too, the makeup she cakes on to hide her breakouts looks even more obvious.

    Getty Images

    Nominee for Most in Need of a Dermatologist: Kate Moss

    Years of jet-setting are taking their toll on Kate Moss' complexion. The crows feet around her eyes and her uneven skin tone are airbrushed in her print ads, but the 34 year old is beginning to look older than her age in more "honest" pictures.

    Getty Images

    Nominee for Most in Need of a Dermatologist: Katherine Hiegl

    This year, Katherine Hiegl's red carpet breakouts were nearly eclipsed by the breakouts on her face. At the Oscars, her pancake makeup looked gorgeous from afar, but up close it only exacerbated her zits.

Most M.I.A. Stylista - Style Superlatives 2008

Style Superlatives 2008 - Most M.I.A. Stylista

    Nominee for Most M.I.A. Stylista: Drew Barrymore

    Drew, Drew, oh where are you? Ms. Barrymore was absent from the Hollywood social scene this year. We saw her once or twice out gallivanting with a guy or 2, but that's about it.

    Getty Images

    Nominee for Most M.I.A. Stylista: Hillary Swank

    Two time Oscar winner Hillary Swank took a breather from the red carpets this year. Perhaps she was busy with projects...or maybe she was simply too embarrassed to be seen in public after the sob-fest that was P.S. I Love You. Why, Hillary, WHY?

    Getty Images

    Nominee for Most M.I.A. Stylista: Julie Roberts

    New-ish mom Julie Roberts has been conspicuously absent from the big screen since wrapping Charlie Wilson's War last year. But good news for all you JR missers - she's slotted for 2009's Duplicity and 2010's The Knitting Club.

    Getty Images

    Nominee for Most M.I.A. Stylista: Rachel Bilson

    We hear our former O.C. fave has fled the sun of SoCal for the slightly less hospitable climate of Uxbridge, Ontario, where she's building a love nest with beau Hayden Christensen. Perhaps she's perfecting her Canadian accent too, eh?


    Getty Images

    Nominee for Most M.I.A. Stylista: Rachel McAdams

    Speaking of Canadians, American's new sweetheart (ironically, an Ontario native) Rachel McAdams broke our hearts this year with barely any public appearances. Hopefully that means she was busy filming - word on the street says she's got 3 movies slated for 2009.

Style Superlatives 2008 - Best New Hair Color

    Nominee for Best Hair Color Makeover 2008: Evan Rachel Wood

    Evan recently lightened up her goth black locks to a pretty shade of strawberry red. We love how the peachy tones in this supernatural shade play up her pale complexion.

    Getty Images

    Nominee for Best Hair Color Makeover 2008: Ashlee Simpson

    New hair color, new baby - 2008 was quite a novel year for this Simpson sister. Going from blonde to an edgy shade of dark red helped Ashlee shed her sister's shadow to develop a more alternative image.

    Getty Images

    Nominee for Best Hair Color Makeover 2008: Kate Walsh

    Kate's tressformation from red head to sophisticated brunette highlights her clear blue eyes and peachy skin tone.

    Getty Images

    Nominee for Best Hair Color Makeover 2008: Lilly Allen


    Rocker Lilly Allen saw the bright this summer, transforming her deep brown locks to a shocking shade of bright pink. And hats off to her DIY chops: The 23 year old British songstress carried out the dye job in her own bathroom.

    Getty Images

    Nominee for Best Hair Color Makeover 2008: Scarlett Johansson

    Perennially platinum ScarJo lost her light locks for a darker shade of strawberry, a reddish blonde hue that warms up her skintone and adds depth to her jade eyes.

    Hollywood's golden couple can do no wrong - on or off the red carpet.

    Getty Images

    Katie's gotten so comfortable with the red carpet that's she taken to creating her own outfits. We can't help but wonder if Tom (and Suri!) will be donning her creations come 2009.

Style Superlatives 2008 - Beauty Trend BuhBye

    Nominee for Beauty Trend to Say Buhbye to: Lindsay's Mermaid Waves

    While we salute Linds for looking (and acting) much healthier this year, we could be over her mermaid waves. Since these tightly defined coils kinda remind us of 1988, we're nominating them to stay in 2008.

    Getty Images

    Nominee for Beauty Trend to Say Buhbye to: Eva's 60's Bouffant

    Getty Images

    Nominee for Beauty Trend to Say Buhbye to: Queen Latifah's Dark Lipstick

    Fall 2008's standout beauty trend, dark lips rocked the red carpets as much as they did the runways. While we're all for mixing it up, we're wondering if black, prune and burgundy lipsticks should be left in 2008?

    Getty Images

    Nominee for Beauty Trend to Say Buhbye to: Kate's Blue Eyeliner

    Blue eyeliner is a makeup artist favorite for waking up tired eyes. We love the pop of color, though it slightly reminds us of 7th grade.

    Getty Images

    Nominee for Beauty Trend to Say Buhbye to: Katie's Boy Cut

    2008 was the year of the crop, as A-Listers lobbed their locks off at an alarming rate. While the cut lengthens the neck and shows off the face, we're wondering if, in 2009, the "grow-out" will be the new "boy-cut".
