'Coco Avant Chanel' - Worth the Wait!

Posted Jul 9th 2009 at 3:25PM by Sarah Cristobal

"Coco Avant Chanel" premiered in Paris in April and won't be released in the states until mid-September but it is definitely worth the wait.

At last night's fashion editor-heavy screening at Sony's New York HQ, Anne Fontaine's biopic, starring Audrey Tautou as the young designer-to-be, received a resounding (and very informal) thumbs up.

Coco Chanel's back story bears a similar resemblance to that of another French star Edith Piaf (although the designer's life was far less tragic in the end). She was orphaned at a young age, learns to sew (and sing), and finds her way into the arms of a man who cares for her and bankrolls her business.

Beautifully shot in Paris and Normandy, the film depicts Chanel's young life leading up to the empire. Tautou's spitfire impression is engaging and endearing. Much like Marion Cotillard's Piaf in "La Vie En Rose," I imagine it will earn her a whole new fan base in the U.S.

Reese Witherspoon left her typically sophisticated style behind at the Los Angeles premiere of her new animated film Monsters vs. Aliens. Stepping out of the box almost always backfires for most actresses but Reese managed to look fantastically futuristic in her Rodarte dress.

High School Musical 3 Costumer - Exclusive StyleList Interview

Posted Mar 5th 2009 at 12:00PM by Boydie Beener

Filed under: Clothing, Interviews

high school musicalPeople young and old have become completely consumed in the High School Musical trio. While the first two films were definite successes, the third was our favorite; a completely cool and glam version of high school that we wish we could replace our awkward years of youth with. Seriously though, how many of you had your high school prom dressed designed by a cool costumer like Caroline B. Marx? Yeah, we didn't think so! Lucky for us we got to sit down and chat with Caroline about the cast, costumes, and yes, that infamous prom – which for many of the young cast members was truly the prom.

Michelle Pfeiffer in RM - I Want That!

Filed under: Get the Look

michelle pfeifferMichelle Pfeiffer is the example of aging gracefully. Actually, does this woman even age? Each time we see her she looks more gorgeous than ever. If you ever want to give up your youth serum secrets Michelle, we're here for you.

We particularly like this look because it's not your typically little black dress. There are a ton of trendy elements here. Look closely and you'll see origami folds, pleating details, an asymmetrical neckline, and a little brooch to break up the black. We also like the return of the classic black pump after all of the shoe madness we've seen lately (Karl Lagerfeld gun heels anyone?).

Confessions of a Shopaholic trailer

Posted Oct 1st 2008 at 2:35PM by Lindsay Miller

Filed under: Style in the News


We loved Isla Fisher as the psycho, stalkeresque Gloria in "Wedding Crashers," and we love the fact that she is married to the iconoclast that is Sacha Baron Cohen.

This winter, Fisher gets her first, much-deserved starring role as a likable ditz with a serious charge-it problem in "Confessions of a Shopaholic." (Based on the bestselling book of the same name.)

The trailer just went up this week, and while the story looks a bit stereotypically chick flick-ish, we'll probably go just to witness the wardrobe...and for the scene where Fisher's character bum rushes a cute guy with the line, "You speak Prada?"

Cinematique: glasses that will make movie freaks rejoice

Posted Aug 8th 2008 at 8:44AM by Josh Loposer

Filed under: Accessories


We might question some of the pop culture fashion statements that people make these days. For example, do you really want that Chewbacca tattoo? Or do you really need Amy Winehouse inscribed on your molar? When it comes to eye-wear, we can make an exception. We think Zakarias Tipton's laminated film-strip frames are a stylish way for film buffs to represent their obsession.

Tipton collects 35mm and 16mm film from Hungarian movie theaters, laminates them, and then incorporates them into these artsy looking frames. Yes, of course it involves destroying celluloid, but don't worry -- all the film was collected post 1989 (after the fall of Hungarian communism). If you happen to be obsessed with a classic director like Kubrick or Fellini, you're in luck. Tipton does special series of frames honoring larger than life directors. Aside from tipping his hat to the greats, he claims that action movies with tons of explosions make the best frames.

Clearly celebrities spend inordinate amounts of time and money keeping themselves as thin and beautiful as possible. But while some actress (like Jennifer Aniston, for instance) are dropping thousands of dollars a month on beauty treatments, others are working hard...to get fat.

Maui Film Festival Day 1

Posted Jun 14th 2008 at 8:55AM by Michael Buckner

Filed under: Events: On the Scene, Celebrities with Style


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.



I flew into Wailea Maui on Tuesday afternoon to gorgeous 81 degree and sunny for the Maui Film Festival. Founded by Barry Rivers, the festival is five day outdoor celebration of independent film. They have huge screens set up along the beaches and golf courses where the films are screened. It's not like Venice or Cannes where snobby film junkies don tuxedos and strut along red carpets. Here Tommy Bahama subs for Dior and the red carpet is the fine Hawaiian sand. Celebrities attending will include Virginia Madsen, Pierce Brosnan, Dennis Quaid and Felicity Huffman on top of local celebrities like Laird Hamilton.

I went to the opening festivities at the Fairmont Kea Lani where movie goers washed down their Kobe beef with Heinekens and cranberry cosmopolitans.

Then I walked up the street to the Future Home of Baccarat Wailea Resort & Residences golf course, a spectacular 3-course club, where the driving range was converted to a theater under the sky to see the enormous movie theatre they have constructed.

Barry Rivers, the festival's founder and director, arranged for the energy all the projectors will use to be off-set with solar power. Another example of the film industry's "Going Green."

I'll be here a few more days, so come back for more posts.

Audrey Tautou to portray young Chanel

Posted May 22nd 2008 at 2:42PM by Diane Shipley

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.
