Ewan McGregor's new fragrance smells manly - is that a good thing?

Filed under: Fragrance, Celebrities with Style


Somewhere in between impersonating Mad Max and helping to feed the children of the world, the intrepid Ewan McGregor managed to find time to team up with fragrance giant Davidoff to create a new cologne that takes you into "uncharted fragrance territory." It's called Adventure, and it's apparently for those who like to smell like a sweaty biker reclining in front of a mountainous landscape. Does that mean it smells like mountain air+exhaust+biker funk?

Filed under: Accessories, Celebrities with Style, Style for a Cause


Are you in need of a new pair of glasses? Why buy them from the eye doctor when you can purchase a pair that used to belong to a celebrity? Perhaps Ewan McGregor, or Michael Caine?

A number of stars have donated their specs to help reduce global blindness. They've given their glasses to Sightsavers International, which is auctioning off the glasses to raise money for the cause. The auction started today and will run through Monday, August 25.

Ewan McGregor as a fragrance model?

Filed under: Fragrance, Celebrities with Style

If I thought Clive Owen was an odd choice as a skin care line model for Lancome, I don't quite know what to say about Ewan McGregor as a fragrance model. Sure, he cleans up pretty when he needs to in movies like Moulin Rouge and Down With Love, but I've always thought that he was most himself on his 20,000 motorcycle trip with Charley Boorman. That dusty and bearded Ewan was definitely not the cologne type.

Nevertheless, Coty has announced that he will be the face of a new male fragrance from Davidoff which is set to launch in early 2008. He will appear in both print and television ads. I hope this helps him fund his next adventure.

Moviestyle: Down with Love

Filed under: Style in the News, Vintage and Retro, Celebrities with Style

If you have a thing for mod dresses and pill-box hats, you should check out the 2003 movie, Down with Love.

Down with Love is the story of small-town girl, Barbara Novak (played by the lovely Renee Zellweger). Novak finds fame, fortune and a big city life by writing a provocative book that encourages women to forget about love, and start eating chocolate. Everything seems peachy until slick newsman Catcher Block (played by hunky Ewan McGregor) decides to seduce her. As you might guess, much hilarity and many cute handbags ensue.

What makes Down With Love such a stylish film is the way that it resembles those old Rock Hudson and Doris Day films from late 1950s and early 1960s. The sets, costumes, cinematography and editing make you feel that this movie was actually made in 1962 -- not 2003. The director, Peyton Reed even went so far as to use a greenscreen technique, which recreated a very campy 1960s-era New York cityscape.
