Jessica Alba and Gwyneth Paltrow to Auction Off Hand-Me-Downs TONIGHT!

Filed under: Style for a Cause

Jessica Alba and Gwyneth Paltrow aren't just rich, famous and beautiful celebrities. They're also moms, and as such, they're taking part in JOHNSON's Celebrity Hand-Me-Down Auction on eBay, which starts tonight, May 7, at 10 p.m. ET and runs through May 14.

You can bid on strollers, a diaper bag full of goodies and an adorable variety of kids' clothing donated by Alba. If that's not up your alley, spend your money on Gwyneth's "Get Fit With Tracy Anderson" package. That's Paltrow's trainer, as if you needed added incentive.

Either way, you're supporting a great cause, as all donations help raise funds for JOHNSON's Clean Water Initiative, an effort to make sure clean water is available to all babies. And if you end up with some fabulous star-worthy stuff, well, that's just killing two birds with one stone, right?

Below, Jessica Alba's donations for the Celebrity Hand-Me-Down Auction on eBay.

Tangled Up in Blue

Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing, Dresses, Celebrities with Style, Red Carpet Trends

Yellow was supposed to be the big color this year. But bright blue -- and its first cousins teal and turquoise -- showed up on several guests at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala Monday night, making it look a little bit like a 1985 bridesmaids' gathering. Albeit with a bunch of really lovely bridesmaids.

While these shades of blue can make for stunning dresses, they can still be hard to pull off. Teal, when it veers toward green, can make white skin look pale, and not it a good way. And any shade of blue can be a nightmare to accessorize. Add black shoes and you are headed for the disco. Go light or colored, and, well, you're back in the bridal party.

Happily, these women made blue look beautiful, and certainly appropriate for a cool and rainy spring day.

    Brooke Shields adopted spring's one-shoulder look in deep blue, worn with a pair of Wonder Woman-worthy cuffs. Like many other guests, she wore her hair in soft, loose waves.

    Cindy Crawford and Donatella Versace both wore shades of blue Versace. Crawford chose matching blue shoes and a blue clutch.

    Never one to be left out of a trend, Madonna showed up in a teal headdress.

    Katy Perry wore blue as if she meant business.

Head Games at the Derby

    Shielded from the derby jungle by a white veil, Brooke looks like she's wearing cupcake frosting.

    The singer strikes again! With all due R-E-S-P-E-C-T, it appears a spaceship has landed.

    We think we've seen that hat before. Only it was a dress. In a John Hughes movie. (We also thought the hanging planter was part of the hat. Not a stretch.)

    Honey, I blew up the shower cap! There's nothing little about this Bow Peep look.

    This just might be stranger than the original Twin Peaks. And maybe he should've considered a modeling career-balancing a book has nothing on this!

    This twisted sister isn't clowning around. We're sure Jerry Garcia would be proud, tough her headpiece is far from dead.

So, we don't know the first thing about horse racing and can't really comprehend why anyone would bet on a 50-1 horse (the odds of under dog horse and surprise Kentucky Derby winner "Mine That Bird"). But we did tune in to the 135th KD on Saturday... for the hats! They're so ridiculous and over the top, that we have to admit it's become one of our favorite spectator sports.

Okay, so a balloon animal headpiece might not fly outside the annual gathering of one-uppers, but don't let that burst your hat bubble! StyleList talked to hat designer extraordinaire, Eugenia Kim (eugeniakim.com) -- whose toppers have been worn by stars including Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and Ashlee Simpson, who all opted for the "Muffy" equestrian cap, and Mary J. Blige (who wears EK's "Scarlett" hat on the cover of her multi-platinum album "Reflections - A Retrospective") -- about more realistic spring options.


StyleList: What is the hat for Spring/Summer '09?

Eugenia Kim: I would have to say that the hat for Spring/Summer 09 is our "MAX 1" straw hat (an ivory fedora with black ruched crystal mesh band). This hat is our number one best seller for the season, and it fits great on everyone! It even comes with other color options which makes it more 'wearable' and versatile.

Revlon's Run/Walk for Women Draws 'J'-List Support

Today was the 12th Annual EIF Revlon Run/Walk For Women in New York City. The 5K walk, which kicks off in Times Square and ends in Central Park, is an effort to fight women's cancers by raising money and awareness. And even though, the Miley Cyrus/Christina Applegate-hosted Los Angeles walk isn't until next Saturday (May 9th), Hollywood's heavy hitters were out in full force.

Revlon spokeswomen Jessica Alba and Jennifer Connelly, funnyman Jimmy Fallon (not yet a face of Revlon!) and the cosmetics company's newest addition, Jessica Biel -- it was announced yesterday that she is their new "Global Brand Ambassador" -- all hosted the event. (And yes, there were JT sightings.)

Jessica Alba Lightens Up

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Hair Cut and Style




When the days start getting longer and tulips begin to bloom, we never fail to find ourselves in our stylist's chair begging for a brighter, blonder 'do. And we're not the only ones -- Jessica Alba was spotted out and about yesterday with seriously lighter locks.

We're happy to hear that the highlighted tresses are for her latest film, "The Killer Inside Me," because we think this babe is better as a brunette. But then again, Ms. Alba could spike her hair and dye it purple and look better than us at our very best.

What do you think?

Is Jessica Alba better as a blond or brunette?

    The most recent addition to the blonde-to-brunette club is Fergie. The singing diva traded her dark blonde locks for this seriously slick shade of chocolate brown, with mahogany highlights.

    Sarah Jessica Parker was seen on strolling the New York City streets sporting tussled chocolate tresses. SJP may be enjoying her last few months of "normalcy" before rejoining her sassy gang to begin shooting part two of Sex and the City this summer.

    What do you think of SJP's new look? Are you feeling the brown hair? Should she return to her iconic wavy gold strands?

Jessica Alba Airbrushed - Because She's Not Hot Enough on Her Own

Filed under: Celebrity Fashion Mistakes

Celeb Photoshop Disasters

    Jessica Alba's newly released calendar is hot, hot, hot! And so is she -- but apparently that's not good enough for the folks at Campari. Jessica is one of the sexiest women on the planet, yet pictures that came out this week show just how incredibly airbrushed the calendar really is.

    Honestly, we like the before photos better. Why would you airbrush out a women's hips completely? Not only is that unnatural, but it also looks ridiculous! The airbrushed J.A. would be like Barbie -- unable to walk in real life.

    Standards set by magazines and media have always been unattainable with their images of what they consider to be perfection. But attacking the super-gorgeous Miss Alba with the airbrush machine takes it to a new level.

    Alien? Life-sized Barbie doll? Really, what was Vogue thinking with this cover? They left poor Gwyneth Paltrow practically unrecognizable.
