Michelle Monaghan and Mary Alice Stevenson at the amfAR New York Gala - Double StyleFoul

Filed under: Celebrity Fashion Mistakes

Celebrity StyleFoul

    The NME awards are notorious for eccentric fashion choices, but none of them could compare to the outfit "created" by "music artist" La Roux. Wow.

    Naomi's extra-long gown at the Vanity Fair Oscar afterparty seemed familiar. So we checked and, sure enough, we had seen it before -- on Daryl Hannah in the 1984 hit movie Splash!!

    Michelle Monaghan sports an orange Louis Vuitton dress with a sequined side cut out. And tulle. And net. And mesh. And matching LV shoes with feathers. Will it ever stop?

    Keira Knightley's smug expression is just begging us to judge this outfit that's somehow too small and too big at the same time.

    We just have two questions: Why is Tilda Swinton wearing the human flesh dress made by serial killer Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs? And couldn't she at least have it tailored to fit her?

    Neither the color green nor those unfortunate shoulder pads are helping Jennifer Connelly look any healthier on the red carpet -- girl needs to eat!

    Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, went pattern crazy while playing with the puppies at the Metropolitan Police Dog Training Centre in Cornwall, UK.

    Up-and-coming Australian actress Teresa Palmer is drop-dead gorgeous. The shiny hair, the bright, expressive eyes, the thin-but-not-scary-skinny body ... she seems to have the whole package. Except, maybe, for the whole dressing for the red carpet part.

    Getty Images

    The thing is, we love the fit of this dress -- it's super flattering and classy. And Teresa shines in light colors, so the white and beige is beautiful. But seriously, what is the deal with the beige bra cups?

    Should we get past the weird boob accessories since we love the rest of the look so much? Or are those a deal breaker?

    Getty Images

    Of course Teresa isn't the only celeb who suffers from the occasional red carpet flop. Scarlett Johansson clearly has her off days.

    Oversized gold coat, check. High waisted pants that are way more frumpy than fashionable, check. What the heck was Scarlett Johansson thinking when she wore this outfit to the photocall for The Spirit in Madrid? This outfit is old lady-ish, and not in the sometimes hip Mary-Kate Olsen kind of way.

Nothing promises a Hot Cup O'nutz like an amfAR event, mainly because Sharon Stone usually turns up. Sadly, Lady Stone was MIA at the amfAR New York gala to kick off Fashion Week, but there were plenty of other style-challenged ladies vying for her Crazy Couture Crown.

Of course we had LIZA!, looking kicky and medicated, wearing brown chocolate sequins and JAZZ HANDS!

Taylor Momson walked the red capet looking 45 instead of 15, as usual, in a seafoam Marchesa nightgown of tragic lost dreams.

And Anna Wintour, paired an oddly moth-eaten tiger-like coat with bare legs and open toed shoes -- in New York, in February, with temperatures in the 40s. Perhaps her signature Sneering & Peering Blonde Bob kept her warm.

But all of their efforts paled next to the tag team of Michelle Monaghan and Mary Alice Stevenson. Kudos to the intrepid photographer who conviced them to stand next to each other for photos!

Ms. Monaghan sported an orange Louis Vuitton dress with a sequined side cut out. And tulle. And net. And mesh. And matching LV shoes with feathers. It was a lotta look on a 98 pound frame!

America's Most Smartest Model host, Mary Alice Stevenson, took the budget road. She dug up Estelle Getty and stole the purple and red burial shroud off the Golden Girl's dead body. Then MA went back for Estelle's shoes. Heartless!

The combo of quilting bee accident and grave-robbing together on the red carpet delivered a one-two knockout punch and earned these two ladies a Double StyleFoul!

Fashion Week has an Official Coffee - It's McCafe

Filed under: Celebrity Fashion Mistakes, Fashion Week

Anna Wintour enjoys a Starbucks beverageMove over Starbucks, your star is reentering the Earth's atmosphere at a perilously steep angle and your heat shield just got another crack -- McCafe just bought out Fashion Week. That's right, the "official" upper of this year's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week will be none other than McDonald's own upscale espresso selection. Three months before McCafe's official North American debut, the fast food empire is trying to get fashion elites and opinion makers hooked on their triple, non-fat, two Splenda, caramel lattes.

Anna Wintour and Andre Leon Talley Ringtones - Vogue Tones

Filed under: Accessories, Celebrities with Style

Anna Wintour talks on his cell phoneWe've never been to fond of customized ringtones, we usually try to find the one that sounds as much like a phone ringing as possible, although it getting tough these days. In public, a ringing cell phone is bad enough, the only way to make it more annoying is to choose a ringtone that gives every stranger within earshot unwanted fashion advice. Now, that's entirely possible, thanks to Cityfile's Anna Wintour and Andre Leon Talley ringtones.

Is Men's Vogue Finally Kaput?

Filed under: Style in the News

Tough Times for Fashion Mags

    If new rumors surrounding Men's Vogue are to be believed, the current financial recession may have dealt a fatal blow to the beleaguered magazine.

    Men's Vogue

    After CosmoGirl announced it was publishing its last issue in December, we've been flooded with accounts of fashion magazines in fragile financial standings.

    Men's Vogue had seemingly been spared -- at least until November, when its publisher Conde Nast announced that the magazine would be scaling back to just two issues per year. And recent rumors suggest that the situation is even more dire.

    Men's Vogue

    On Monday, The Cut reported that Men's Vogue was definitely here to stay, quoting a Conde Nast spokesperson who said: "There is no change to our plans from what we said at the end of last year. We will put out two Men's Vogue in '09." Cool. But Fashionista told a very different story based on a tip from one of their readers:

    "To: Tips@Fashionista.com
    Regardless of what Condé Nast is saying about Men's Vogue continuing to publish, I received a post card offering to transfer my subscription to Condé Nast's Portfolio or to receive a refund on issues remaining in my subscription. I just called to request the refund and was told I'd receive a check for $15 in 3 - 4 weeks."

    Men's Vogue

    The fact that Conde Nast won't peddle subscriptions for a semi-annual publication shouldn't be all that shocking, but this week's rash of negative rumors seems to suggest that the future of Men's Vogue may be even bleaker than we suspected.

    Men's Vogue

    This is particularly sad considering that Men's Vogue is one of the few Conde Nast publications that routinely features people of color on its covers -- with Denzel Washington, Will Smith, and Barack Obama all given face time in 2008.

    Alas, it was nice while it lasted.

Vogue's Annual Best Dressed List, Slightly Confusing

Filed under: Style in the News


It's no secret that we have a major crush on editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and her fashion bible known to all as American Vogue. That said, we've been left scratching our head pretty much each and every time we take home a issue of the magazine from the grocery store each month. And the January '09 issue was no exception.

Lego Models Rock JC/DC's Runway Show - Plastic Fantastic

Filed under: Runway Trends, Videos



As we've seen with Lego's awesome anniversary edition celebrity figurines, many things in life (Amy Winehouse for instance) are way cooler in LEGO form. Well, apparently experimental French designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac took that idea and ran with it. He teamed up with France's 4-H and The Lego Group to debut his Spring/Summer collection on the virtual stage. We think it's possibly the most fascinating runway show we've ever seen.

Kate Moss to co-chair the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute Gala

Filed under: Style in the News

If loving Kate Moss is wrong, we don't want to be right ya'll. Yes, we rightfully rag on her when she does silly things like getting arrested for cocaine possession and picks up another loser boyfriend. And sure, we think it's weird that she still acts like she's seventeen and subsequently dresses as such. But it's only because she's been our model crush since the 90s and we only want the best for our girl Kate.

The Life & Times of Coco Rocha

Filed under: Style in the News



Coco Rocha has come a long way since she found herself Irish gigging down the Jean Paul Gaultier runway a couple of seasons ago. In a time in fashion where fresh faced models are just as easily forgotten as what they've been eating, Coco has managed to navigate this picky industry and transform herself into a very hot commodity.

Just ask Anna Wintour. The editor-in-chief has put the Canadian in practically every issue of Vogue since Coco's first appearance back in 2006. So, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Style.com, Vogue's online home, has just created a web series that will follow Coco as she tries to survive her cross country trek for Fashion Week.

In the first part, watch as Coco plays with a casting director and explains how one can walk away with nice designer pieces after the show. Watch and learn.
