CHANEL Transporter - More Than Meets the Eye

Posted May 20th 2009 at 3:13PM by Susannah Cahn

Can you say hot ride? And bonus, the CHANEL Personal Transporter is also eco-friendly! It runs on pure style. No really, it's electric. The battery will last about 15 to 20 kilometers (approximately 9-12 miles).

And tomorrow, May 21, someone extremely lucky (and rich) will get to bid on CHANEL's chic mode of transport at the amfAR Gala being held at the Hotel du Cap in Cannes. This is the third year the fashion house is taking part in the annual fund-raising event for AIDS research.

The "don't call it a scooter" will be put up for auction by an international celebrity couple (the speculation wheels are spinning) at the gala, presided over by President Bill Clinton and actress Sharon Stone.

The signature CHANEL quilted pouch sure beats that plastic flower basket we used to have on our Schwinns!

Honk if you like my purse!

Cannes Cam! The Best Beauty Moments So Far

Rachel Weisz keeps me on my feet. Instead of going the edgy route at the world's artiest film festival, Cannes, she turned up looking every ounce a Hollywood starlet. (Quick rewind: Three weeks ago, she rocked up to the Met Ball looking like a self-proclaimed "punk princess," goth lipstick and all.)

At the premiere of her new film, Agora, Weisz wowed me by nailing the three signatures of Old Hollywood glamour:

  • Long, wavy hair with loads of shine
  • A deep, perfectly articulated side part
  • A thick stroke of black eyeliner with multiple lashings of mascara


The Best of Cannes

    Monica Bellucci

    If you have a fabulous statement necklace to wear this spring, follow Bellucci's lead and show it off with a clean ponytail, precise center part, and minimal makeup.

    Evangeline Lilly

    Though optometrists advise against it, lining the inner rims of your eyes looks just so tempting after seeing L'Oréal's newest face's smoked-out look.

    Devon Aoki

    Ex-Karl Lagerfeld muse Devon Aoki's high, swingy ponytail felt very Barbarella, albeit a pretty blinged-out one. Check out the sparkly earrings and metallic eye shadow.

The Cannes Film Festival Kicks Off!

Posted May 13th 2009 at 9:15PM by StyleList Staff

Filed under: Events: On the Scene

Ooh la la! The 62nd international film festival held in Cannes, France got off to a stylish start today when legendary actresses and jury members Sharmila Tagore, Robin Wright Penn (in Elie Saab Vintage Couture), Isabelle Huppert (this year's jury president), Asia Argento and Shu Qi posed for their photo call.

Celebrity enthusiasts might recall that it was Robin Wright Penn's soon-to-be-ex-husband Sean Penn who served as last year's jury president. (Among his tribunal was Natalie Portman, who he is now rumored to be dating.)

Check back with StyleList over the next 11 days for more celeb glamour shots and insider info from the cinematic festivities.

Cannes in review: My favorite shots

Michael Buckner is a fashion and celebrity photographer who travels around the world taking pictures on the red carpet. He gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the hottest entertainment industry events.

It's 5:30 in the morning on Tuesday in Los Angeles and as I'm writing this. I'm jet lagged as hell. I can't stay awake past 8:30pm and I keep waking up at dawn (which isn't the normal schedule of my lifestyle). All in all Cannes was a great trip. I really boosted up the portfolio. The gallery is a wrap up of my favorite images from the festival.

Behind the scenes with a red carpet photographer: Cannes round-up

The rain wont stop, and when you're riding in a scooter there is no better idea than to drink vodka on the rocks with a lens all night. Oh, and work too.

By the time I made it to the Belvedere Vodka Jagger Dagger Party, I had already clocked 16 hours. So it was time to relax. Which was inevitable because no security guard in the V.I.P. club in Pointe Croissette cared that was the hired photographer this night. "Unlimited access" quickly turned into "hanging with the papparrazzi." Mark Ronson spun some tasty grooves as Jade Jagger, daughter of Rolling Stone Mick Jagger, displayed her $250,000 diamond and gem studded ice pick.

Browse the gallery to see my photos from the party, along with a few shots from Tuesday and Wednesday.

Eva Herzigova goes see-through on the red carpet

Posted May 22nd 2008 at 4:42PM by Jonathon Morgan

Eva, let's talk. Part of being a ridiculously beautiful supermodel is having a body you can flaunt. No one is judging you for this, but there's a difference between suggestively sexy and "I wanted to show up in my underwear, but I figured that wouldn't be cool -- so I wore this!"

Cannes Film Festival Day 3: Behind the scenes with a red carpet photographer

I drove around in a scooter all day and nearly all night searching for the talented and fashionable. It rained and rained nearly all day. Wet streets, tuxedos and a dumb American who can't read the street signs spells disaster. But I've done alright so far. I had to lay her down once while I was parking because I accidentally pushed on the gas while breaking.

No Scrapes, no foul.

Cannes Film Festival: Behind the scenes with a red carpet photographer

Posted May 15th 2008 at 2:56PM by Michael Buckner

Filed under: Events: On the Scene

Michael Buckner is a fashion and celebrity photographer who travels around the world taking pictures on the red carpet. He gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the hottest entertainment industry events.

Here we go. I've beaten flight delays, jet lag, sharing a room the size of a closet, and driving a scooter for the first time in my life.

Gallery: Arriving in Cannes

It's truly gorgeous up at the top of the hill.A Landscape today of the Palais (the tented area where photographers, tv crew, and intertional fans away celebrity arrivals)Before the carpet is laid out

Before my Chopard party, I went over to the Hotel Majestic Cannes Barrière to catch some of the Jury Panel leaving to the opening night ceremony for "Blindness." Sat around for an hour with French fans with point and shoot cameras, until Mischa Barton showed up with her over the shoulder glamour. She was followed by the always classy Faye Dunaway, then Natalie Portman in a stylish purple strapless dress. And I don't know who Amira Casar is, but I dig her meter long bow tie and the checkerboard skirt. Is it suitable for Cannes?

After that it was off to Chopard, who hosted a party celebrating Italian designer Alberta Ferretti. Singer/actress and all around lick Juliette Lewis disc jockeyed the party where she played disco, techno and a few of her own tunes. Australian actress Cate Blanchett posed with the designer and a few friends.

Conclusion? Purple is already a graceful theme for ladies this year. We'll see how much more comes out. Also, Alberta Ferretti works well with the larger jewelry of Chopard -- definitely a nice combination.

Angelina Jolie's having twins and she STILL looks great

Posted May 15th 2008 at 2:02PM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Celebrities with Style



The 61st Cannes Film Festival is underway, and a very pregnant Angelina Jolie is on hand to promote her new animated flick, Kung Fu Panda. And, while she didn't give too much away about the film in an interview with co-star Jack Black, another secret was revealed, or, rather, confirmed -- she and Brad Pitt are expecting twins. To Angie's credit, she reacted gracefully to Jack spilling the baby beans -- check out the video here.

But hey, this is a style blog, so let's talk about how she looked (besides being pregnant), shall we?

Gwyneth Paltrow for Tod's

Posted May 14th 2008 at 5:13PM by Tiffany Neal

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories


Over the weekend, Gwyneth Paltrow was seen sporting some ma-jah Tod's handbags and boots, which left many a fashion blogger scratching their heads: Could it all just be free swag or Did the actress get tired of all of those amazing Louboutins she wore everyday to promote her new flick Iron Man and opted for the more understated brand?

Well, all of those life or death questions have finally been answered.
