Kate Winslet and the Parade Cover - New Photoshop Shenanigans!

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style

We haven't seen her reaction yet, but we have a feeling that Kate Winslet is not going to be pleased about the drastic Photoshop job on the cover of the latest issue of Parade Magazine. Good grief! They made her look like a country western singer who's had too much work done!

Audrey Tautou to portray young Chanel

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


Last month, we tipped Audrey Tautou to play Chanel in a new biopic of the French designer. Now we can confirm the rumors are true.

Tautou will play Chanel in a new movie to be called Coco avant Chanel (which means "Coco before Chanel" and which will focus on Coco's formative years, before she became known for her classic sense of style and her wonderful taste in smells). We didn't know much about the fashion legend's early life, but according to Variety, she learned to sew during her time in a Catholic orphanage after the death of her parents, and earned the nickname Coco after performing as a cabaret dancer - there's some perfect biopic material, right there.

Variety also reports that Tautou was (understandably, being the most famous hip and beautiful young Frenchwoman in Hollywood) the only choice for the role.

Naomi and Spike to pair up on the big screen

Filed under: Runway Trends, Style in the News, Celebrities with Style

Love him or hate him, you have to admit that Spike Lee is an amazing director. (Inside Man and 25th Hour are my faves)

That's why we're all going to have to trust Spike's instincts with his latest film project, which happens to star Naomi Campbell.

According to British Vogue, the film tells the story of a regiment of black soldiers stationed in Tuscany during World War II. Campbell says her role is small (phew), but she's still looking forward to working with Lee on the film.

The plot sounds interesting, and it's certainly encouraging to hear that Campbell's appearances on screen will be limited. Naomi can pull off many things (assault and battery, 4-inch heels, a bob), but I'm not sure carrying a dramatic period piece is probably not one of them. (See King, Jaime in Pearl Harbor)

Celeb style: Leonardo DiCaprio

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style

It's been a while since I've gone out of my way to see a Leonardo DiCaprio film, but as GQ confirmed when they made him a "Man of the Year," the kid is back! (Only he's not so much a kid anymore, he's definitely more of a man!)

Having seen him recently in the films Blood Diamond and The Departed, I'll confess, I've grown a little weak-kneed about the actor. Practically speaking, I've been doing a lot of daydreaming about his characters wondering which Leo had better style. (What am I 16? Possibly...)





Mercenary Danny Archer






or






Undercover informant Billy Costigan




Danny Archer definitely has better hair. I also like the extra weight Leo put on for the role. But one also must take into account that Billy Costigan had better clothes and a preferable accent. (I can't believe I'm fawning over a Boston drawl!)

Are there other opinions out there? Or if you haven't seen either of these films, write and tell us about your favorite Leo style. (Titanic, anyone?)

kirsten dunst as marie antoinetteIn case you haven't noticed, there is quite a hullabaloo surrounding the movie Marie Antoinette, and it seems that the fashion world has taken to it as well. Kirsten Dunst as Marie Antoinette appeared on the most recent Vogue magazine, and elements of the style have showed up on the runways, from high hair (oh, how I am hating my wispy fine stick straight hair that doesn' do anything but hang there) to puffy skirts to brocade fabrics.

But it's not just Marie Antoinette this year. Film has definitely affected the fashion world (and vice versa, I suppose) through the decades, and Forbes has put together a short list of some of the more influential films.
  • Funny Face - Audrey Hepburn in "the infamous black turtleneck and skinny pants" that is now the highlight of a Gap campaign
  • The Birds - "the quintessential Hitchcockian look"
  • Belle Du Jour - "pilgrim" flats
  • Bonnie & Clyde - shoulder length bob, pencil skirts and berets
  • Annie Hall - "oversized, exaggerated menswear alongside earth-toned, patchwork smocks. It's messy, incoherent and ... altogether genius."
  • Out Of Africa - white linens, safari jackets and all things khaki
  • Working Girl - the Power Suit
  • Singles - the definitive grunge look: floral dresses topped with lumberjack flannels and paired with combat boots
  • Almost Famous - hippie chic -- with shearling coats, floppy hats and Frye boots.Secretary
  • Secretary - "the sexy librarian"
  • Stepford Wives - prim and proper '50s look
