The Metallic Brown Eye - Is This Wearable?

Filed under: Cosmetics, Beauty Tips

Oscar de la Renta eyesPat McGrath showed us how to create the "Metallic Brown Eye" trend from Oscar de la Renta's Spring 2009 collection. Hint -- "metallic" is not just shimmery shadow. We attempted to recreate the look using her recommended Max Factor products. But is this wearable?

Jessica Biel in Oscar de la Renta - I Want That!

Filed under: Get the Look

jessica bielThough she doesn't make red carpet appearances often, Jessica Biel is one of our favorite starlets, bar none. Like Miss Cameron Diaz, Jessica epitomizes tomboy chic. Both leading ladies also prove that sporty simply doesn't equally dowdy. Or baggy for that matter. It means chic and comfortable – a key for anyone who wants to feel confident in their clothes. Just look closely at Jessica's dress.

5 Looks From Bride War Babes, Kate Hudson & Anne Hathaway - StyleLISTS

Filed under: StyleLISTS

Kate Hudson, Anne Hathaway, Bride Wars

Okay, so, the last few months we've been completely bombarded with Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson, thanks in large part to Kate's promiscuity and Anne's horrible ability to pick boyfriends their new movie Bride Wars. In the flick, the two are "besties" who let their dream weddings get in the way of their friendship. A wedding in the way of friendship?! No! But then again it is The Plaza. (Don't judge.)

Anyhoo, since the adorable twosome is pitted against each other in the film we decided to do the same in a real life scenario. A fashion scenario. Namely a "Who has the better style battle: Anne vs. Kate." Anddd go!

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Red Carpet Trends

Jennifer MorrisonEvery designer wants their dress chosen for an awards ceremony like the Golden Globes. A high profiled celeb equals maximum exposure. However, very few succeed.

Oscar de la Renta Will Show Twice During Fashion Week

Filed under: Style in the News

oscar de la rentaIf the fashion industry were high school, and by all accounts it most likely is, then American icon Oscar de la Renta would be the cheerleader who has the hot boyfriend and the grades to get into Harvard. Why? Well, lets see.

Michelle Obama reminds Phillip Bloch of another First Lady

Phillip Bloch calls Michelle Obama

Like so many others, we've been impressed by Michelle Obama's polished, classic and accessible fashion style. Phillip Bloch is also a huge fan, so much so that he and Forest Whitaker's wife devised a special nickname for her: "Blackie O."

Anne Hathaway in Oscar de la Renta premieres "Rachel Getting Married"

Filed under: Runway Trends, Events: On the Scene, Clothing, Shoes, Celebrities with Style, Red Carpet Trends

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.



Anne Hathaway has always played a character who doesn't quite fit into her surroundings -- from Mia Thermopolos in Princess Diaries to Andy Sachs in The Devil Wears Prada, or even Jane Austin in Becoming Jane. (Yikes, you all have learned that I watch a lot of chick flicks. I should be embarrassed!)

Hathaway is back in her latest wedding drama, Rachel Getting Married, where she plays a young lady who battles stints at rehabs (even though Anne might be the one celebrity who hasn't made a trip to rehab in real life!) and ventures out for her sister's wedding (the sister, by the way, is played by the ever-sexy Rosemarie DeWitt).

I roamed on the carpet tonight, giving me massive freedoms that shooting behind the red carpet doesn't. But along with that comes the challenges of staying out of screaming photographers' shots. It's all worth it at the end, because I get pictures like this.

Hathaway wears Oscar de la Renta on the carpet, with Christian Louboutin shoes. See the fun and fashion in my gallery below.

Cindy McCain's RNC Outfit worth over $300k!

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Clothing, Celebrities with Style



Whoa, Cindy. Way to bring your common touch to the Republican National Convention! According to the experts at Vanity Fair, the total cost of crisp-featured Cindy McCain's mustard yellow ensemble from Tuesday night tipped the scales to the tune of $313,000-ish.

In contrast, poor Laura Bush was practically wearing gardening clothes, with an outfit that was in the $3,500-$4,300 range.

Actually, they were both in Oscar de la Renta. The big difference -- and we do mean big -- was Cindy's choice of jewelry, including a pair of 3 carat diamond earrings, estimated to cost about $280,000.

Vanity Fair does point out that they only cost that much if they're real. Right! Because there's a sliver of a chance that Cindy McCain showed up on TV wearing "a really good fake" anything besides her boobs.

The magazine did not speculate on how much the total cost would increase if we included the pre-convention Botox touch up and hair highlighting.

Shoes of the day - Oscar de la Renta Triangle Peep Toe Mary Janes

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Must Haves


Oscar de la Renta sexes up the Mary Jane: These are certainly not fit for school, but are perfect for a night out.

The criss cross strap is what caught our eye - made of patent leather and finished with a buckle, it's a fresh way to update the look. Of course, the peep toe, platform and diamond heel don't hurt either. We envision wearing them with something from this store, or even just livening up the proverbial little black dress.

$695 available at Saks Fifth Avenue

Andre, leave Michelle Obama alone!

Filed under: Celebrities with Style


First, we absolutely adore Vogue's prolific editor-at-large, Andre Leon Talley.

If we ever got the chance to meet him in person, we imagine it would involve us losing all of our senses and embarrassing ourselves so much so that the people standing around watching us stumble over our words would begin to feel awkward for us.

Oscar de la Renta: Vogue approved

Filed under: Style in the News


The August and September issues of Vogue magazine are some of the most highly regarded in the industry. The cover girls are almost always worthy and the spreads inside tend to be equally epic.

They are also legendarily filled to capacity with fashion ads.

So, to make sure his Fall '08 collection gets a chance to shine, designer Oscar de la Renta is running his ads, exclusively, in Vogue a month in advance of his competition.

China: wealth is super-trendy

Filed under: Style in the News


While retail sales in the US and Europe are slumping, China's consumer class is just hitting the scene -- and they're willing to shell out some serious money on fashion. Designers like Prada, Armani, and Louis Vuitton are having a bonanza with newly rich Chinese who are hungry for the status symbols of conspicuous consumption. Yet, there's also a rising demand for $10,000 cocktail dresses and brands like Hermes from the growing ultra-rich class.

Traditionally, the Chinese market has been mostly dominated by accessories because of the limited space in China's crammed shopping malls -- which has led to the ridiculous level of knock-offs and forgeries. But that trend is starting to shift as retailers are steadily getting access to space where they can branch out. Coach is planning to open 50 retail stores in the mainland this over the next few years and tons of others are on the same kind of track. As you can imagine, renting a prime location for you flagship store in Shanghai is a royal rip -- but apparently it's paying off big time.

Jenna Bush gets married, wears a rockin' dress

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


Jenna Bush got married this weekend at the Bush family ranch in Crawford, Texas, and we're sure her new husband, Henry Hager, had no regrets as to his choice when he saw her walking down the aisle. Jenna was dressed in an Oscar de la Renta gown that we just loved -- it had a simple silhouette, but an intricate design with embroidered organza and matte beading from the very top to the end of her chapel-length train.

Not everyone looked so sharp, however -- check out the gallery to see what we loved and what we could've done without.
