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.


The Academy Awards came early at the Four Seasons tonight. Five Oscar winning women in the same room to celebrate Elle Magazine's Women in Hollywood. Halle Berry, Nicole Kidman, Shirley MacLaine, Jane Fonda, Diablo Cody, Sigourney Weaver, Kat Dennings, Jennifer Lopez, Jenny McCarthy, Anne Hathaway, Kate Beckinsale and Katharine McPhee attended the private dinner to honor female stardom and style in Hollywood.

Halle Berry is having a big year. The Oscar-winning actress gave birth to her first child, daughter Nahla Ariela, in March, is producing and starring in three films, and is now doing something brand new -- launching her own fragrance, Halle by Halle Berry (seriously, when are these actors going to come up with unique fragrance names? Aren't they supposed to be all creative and stuff?).

Trend alert! We're still seeing Gerard Darel's bags everywhere. The latest rage is the cotton-blend 24hr sweater bag, which is the new favorite of cuties Jessica Alba and Emmy Rossum. Also a big fav, the Dublin shopper. Great size, casual yet polished feel. We'd be fans, too, if we had the bucks!

You know a designer is on to something when he has a following as diverse as this list of celebrity moms and starlets:

• Jessica Alba
• Emmy Rossum
• Cameron Diaz
• Halle Berry
• Angelina Jolie
• Jennifer Garner
• Jennifer Lopez
• Eva Longoria Parker
• Miley Cyrus
• Ashlee Simpson
• Lindsay Lohan

In the gallery, the hot yet casual look of Gerard Darel on hot and casual celebs.

First off, let us just say that we adore this woman. Halle Berry looks so gorgeous pregnant, or not pregnant, that we will basically follow any style she wears. She's a trend setter, what can we say? Her most recent purchase was a bag bought from Shoprumor.

Many women work through their pregnancies, and celebrities are no different. Film openings, press conferences, the Grammys and the Academy Awards -- all part of The Show Must Go On!

Of course celebrities also always have the cameras on them, and a little case of The Pregnants is no excuse for letting your style sag. Our most beloved stars always seem to step up to the occasion, making even this most physical of labors seem like a prolonged visit to the good skin spa.

In the gallery, our picks for some recent Pregnancy Style Hall of Famers, plus a couple of classics. Add a comment if we missed one of your favorites.

There are several reasons celebrities might need waterproof makeup. They could be in the middle of a red carpet interview and end up caught in a thunderstorm. Their favorite ball team could win the title, causing them to be doused in Gatorade. They could get tossed into a tub of champagne with George Clooney (because that's surely what happens at those after-parties, right?).

More often than not, though, celebrities find themselves in need of waterproof makeup because they end up in tears for one reason or another -- check out our gallery for examples. And, to see how you can avoid a makeup disaster, check out StyleList's slideshow of waterproof makeup. You never know when you'll get tossed in a pool with gorgeous celebrities!

What do the stars hold for the stars this week? Find out in our regular feature, Ho'roscope. The lives of celebs are much more glamorous and sexy, including their horoscopes. This is a sneak peek into the astrological powers that influence fame and fortune.

You already know that a baby bump (and the subsequent baby) seems to be one of the must-have accessories in Hollywood this year. You also probably know that looking fashionable into the third trimester is no easy feat -- however, stars like Halle Berry, Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba, and Jennifer Lopez have managed to look put together throughout their pregnancies.

Aside from the fact that they have a herd of stylists undoubtedly giving them a hand, how do they do it? Let me tell you -- they play up their assets. Whether they have copious amounts of cleavage, killer legs, or just have an amazing glow about them, these lovely ladies played up their pregnancies and looked great doing it. Look through the gallery for tips on how you can dress to the nines all nine months, too.

I woke up this morning and thought to myself "You know what the world needs? Another celebrity fragrance" because really there aren't nearly enough of them. Right.

Add Halle Berry to the celebrity fragrance roster as she has joined the Coty family. Halle will be creating at least one (yes, there could be many) fragrance. This gem of a fragrance will be sold at, it pains me to type this, J.C. Penney and probably some other horrible places like Rite Aid and CVS.

Halle won't be alone in her perfume venture. Other members of the Coty family include: Jennifer Lopez, David and Victoria Beckham, Kimora Lee Simmons, Sarah Jessica Parker, Celine Dion, Kate Moss, and Gwen Stefani.

Halle is definitely grouped in there with some hits and misses. What do you think, Halle the fragrance a success or another fragrance flop?

So you've been dating your new boyfriend or girlfriend for a few months, and things are going really good! They totally "get" you -- you know? Like, for who you are. It's so perfect and magical. Plus they're smart, and funny, and so hot. Wow! This feels like love!

Next step: make your devotion permanent, and tattoo their name on your butt.

Actually, wait. That's a stupid, stupid, stupid idea. Do you know any couples that are still together that have each other's names tattooed somewhere on their bodies? Probably not -- because it's like signing a death warrant for your relationship. I'm not sure why -- maybe it's the constant reminder of the permanence of your situation, or maybe it's because tattoos do something weird to your brain that makes you freak out about commitment. But one way or another, if you get inked, you're breaking up.

Just look at Halle Berry. She had David Justice's name tattooed on her butt when the two were married in the 90s. Then, of course, they divorced. So, rather than have all her future boyfriends reading her ex's name every time they checked our her derriere, Berry got re-inked. The actress turned Justice's name into a sunflower, "because when darkness descends they close up to regenerate."

But, she adds, "I really wish I'd never had the tattoo in the first place."

Lesson learned.

New York-based handbag designer Cammie Hill has marked down a few of her spring handbags on her website. The sale includes the "small chubby handbag" and the "small envelope clutch". If you aren't familiar with the Cammie Hill collection, you should note the strong, feminine silhouettes. All of her bags are cut from some of the softest, finest Italian-leather, and some -- though not on sale -- utilize rather unexpected materials, like burlaps and cork.

But don't let the idea of a burlap bag turn you off. After all, Cammie Hill is a favorite of a few well-dressed and well-known celebrities, including Sarah Jessica Parker, Halle Berry, Teri Hatcher and Sheryl Crow. With lines and colors that say "designer" without an invasive logo, Cammie Hill bags offer wearers high-end style that is slightly off the main-stream radar. We like that, don't we? The bags range from $150-400.
