Martha Stewart Talks Fashion, Yoga and Modeling

Filed under: Celebrities with Style

It's always exciting to see what Martha Stewart can do with a new idea. Her popular magazine, Martha Stewart Living, added a fashion section, which debuted in this month's issue. It's just as informative and fun as you would expect! We were lucky enough get a sneak preview of the first spread, Jackets Required, which is all about the spring trend of blazers and short coats. Plus, we got to ask Martha, and Executive Editor Vicky Lowry, a few questions about the new section, their style influences, and Martha's future as a model.

Read on for the fun interviews, plus a look at Jackets Required!

Hollywood Moms, Dads and their Tiny Twins

    Mama Jolie hit the streets of NYC with her two big girls. Z got off easy in a white cardi but little Shiloh was forced to wear the baby version of her mommy's trench. Sadly she isn't the only victim of Hollywood's mini-me obsession. From Zahara Jolie-Pitt (that's right, Angie is a repeat offender!) to the Beckham boys, these famous families have us seeing double, or triple!

    No, Diddy's not posing with an up-and-coming boy band, the young men in white are the music mogul's sons. While it may not be surprising that a man who has strict dress codes for his parties encourages Quincy, Justin and Christian to copy his style.

    Suri Cruise is only 2-years-old and yet she and Katie Holmes have matching mommy-baby hair cuts and oversized "I am so famous " sunglasses. If they keep it up, image what this duo will look like in 10 years!

    Lilly Pulitzer created a fashion empire with her matching mommy and me styles, but Angelina Jolie and Zahara have brought that concept to a whole new level: They're carrying Valentino's "Histoire" bag in big girl ($1,695 ), little girl (price unknown) versions.

    The Brangelina boys keep it casual for a day at the playground. But while Brad and Pax may be sporting a more understated look than Ange and Zahara, it's no less matchy-matchy!

Miley's Model Boyfriend Struts His Stuff

Filed under: Celebrity Fashion Mistakes

Justin Gaston on EY!
Celebrity magazines have been reporting that Justin Gaston, Miley Cyrus's 20-year-old model boyfriend, has moved into the Cyrus family home so that dad Billy Ray can "keep an eye on him." But it seems the young fella has been slipping out of the compound.

Madonna Jumps the Shark in W Magazine

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style, Celebrity Fashion Mistakes

We have to admit, if we had Madonna's body, we'd be fiercely tempted to show it off, too. But, in true Madonna form, she's taken it just a little bit too far in a revealing, but not really sexy, photo spread in this month's issue of W.

Celebs Bare All for Magazines

    Kate Hudson recently revealed that she loves posing for provocative photo shoots -- but the sultry starlet certainly isn't the only celeb who's willing to bare all a magazine cover.

    Jennifer Aniston for GQ
    Was her ultra-revealing cover stunning or sad? Find out!

    Eva Mendes for Jane
    The actress isn't bashful about showing a little skin (just look at these steamy Calvin Klein ads!).

    Britney Spears for Bazaar
    Showing off her hot pregnant bod, back when we thought there might be hope for her and K-Fed.

    Britney Spears for Rolling Stone
    But of course, Brit was happy to bare all before she was ready to bare children.

    Christina Aguilera
    They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

    Demi Moore for Vanity Fair
    And before Britney and Christina were competing with pregnant poses in their birthday suits, Demi Moore graced the cover of Vanity Fair in nothing but her wedding ring (and some nice earrings!).

    Lindsay Lohan for Entertainment magazine
    Back when it was plausible that she might turn out sane.

    Mariah Carey for Interview
    Still looking great at 38!

    Rose McGowan and Marley Shelton for Rolling Stone
    This certainly added to the hype surrounding the actresses' blockbuster movie, "Grindhouse."



In the shots Madonna wears her usual cracked out combination of thigh-high lace up boots, corset, string bikini bottoms and in a few, a strap of white fabric -- wait, a bandage? -- wrapped around/sort of falling off her (suspiciously perky) breasts.

You know, the kind of outfit everyone she tosses on to run to the supermarket.

As fit as she is, the photos are kind of sad. They push her over the edge from "Wow, can you believe she's 50?!" down into the valley of "desperate mom who sunbathes topless every Wednesday when the poolboy comes."

We aren't saying she should cover it up in turtlenecks and granny dresses.
This is Madonna and she's a sexuality machine.

But it would be a lot more interesting, not to mention palatable, to see her do something sexy that redefines being 50 instead of grasping at styles she did better in her 30s.

Playboy's CEO to Join Team Obama - Rumor Mill

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style

Christie Hefner and two Playmates in LondonWhen it comes to highlighting the popular trends in lingerie, we think the Victoria's Secret catalog edges out Playboy magazine. But when it comes to raw political power, it looks like the landslide victory goes to the publication with a naughty little bunny as its mascot. According to the rumor mill, Playboy's CEO Christie Hefner might be under consideration for a cabinet position with Team Obama.

Angelina Jolie stars in "The Bible"

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style, Books

At first we did not believe the Drudge Report post about a new version of the Bible called Bible Illuminated: The Book. We doubted that such a book really existed, never mind that it used a photo of Angelina Jolie as one of the illustrations.

Turns out we were wrong.

Top designers are in love with Mary Kate Olsen


Most of us are of the opinion that when it comes to the Olsen twins, Ashley is the one who wears the normal stuff. But, in a new issue of Elle, designers are falling all over themselves to fawn over Mary Kate!

Running replaces sex as #1 recommended weight control method in Japan

Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing


A new trend is taking over the streets of Japan, literally. People are running in huge numbers, particularly young women who live in the cities.

The fad is especially strong in trendy Tokyo, where women's corporate marathon clubs are meeting before and after work to do a few laps around the Imperial Palace. The main goal is to "stay healthy, pretty and sane" with the extra benefit of getting to show off special marathon gear from Danskin and New Balance.

Vice Magazine's 2008 Fashion Issue

Filed under: Style in the News

Vice MagazineBloody brilliant. We're loving Vice Magazine's 2008 Fashion Issue, now available to view online in full. We especially love the column entitled "I Hate Fashion" written by Tracie Egan of Jezebel.com. Our sentiments exactly. But wait... we also totally identify with Christopher Bollen's article "I Love Fashion." Oh fashion, how we love to hate you! The trend reports for NYC and London are spot on as well, and hilarious to boot. And who but Vice would dare to cast porn star Sasha Grey in a provocative but very clever fashion spread? (Get it? Spread?) Seriously, Vice's snarky take on all things fashion is not to be missed.

The Simpsons go high fashion

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style

Finally, the celebrities you've always wanted to see dolled in high-dollar designer wares. In celebration of the upcoming release of the much-anticipated Simpsons movie, Homer, Marge, and the rest of the gang are appearing in the August issue of Harper's Bazaar -- decked in Chanel, Jean Paul Gaultier and Versace.

Glenda Bailey, the magazine's editor-in-chief, commissioned Julius Preite (layout artist for The Simpsons) to illustrate the world's favorite animated family at a number of Fall Fashion Week shows -- drawn alongside cartoon versions fashion industry icons like Linda Evangelista, Karl Lagerfeld and Louis Vuitton.

It's now clear that the Simpson family have long been fooling the public, and beneath their unruly facade possess a grace, elegance, poise and charm rarely seen in bright-yellow toons. Bravo! Applause! Tres magnifique! Doh!

Vogue's editor-in-chief to hit the big screen

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

Soon, you'll get to see what Anna Wintour, the icy editor-in-chief at Vogue magazine, is really like. As reported by Variety.com, A&E IndieFilms is putting together a documentary of Wintour at work, more specifically the work she did to create the September issue of Vogue, which is the so-called annual "fashion bible."

With the success of the recent film "The Devil Wears Prada," -- which was reportedly based on Wintour -- the company thinks this documentary will be well-received. A&E IndieFilms says the documentary will be "a very candid and very exclusive window into this iconoclast, her fame and her notoriety."

If Wintour is as cold and insincere as Anne says, then I think this documentary won't try to hide it. And she may not be the friendliest person on earth, but she's proven that she can run a successful magazine. I'm also interested to see how a huge magazine like Vogue comes together from start to finish.

The one catch? The film isn't set to debut until 2008.
