Can't you picture this in your closet? Sketch courtesy of ideeli.com

Oscar de la Renta has dressed Penélope Cruz, Jessica Biel and Scarlett Johansson -- and now he has a one-of-a-kind creation just for you. Well, ideeli.com had to pull some strings.

Beginning June 1 (yup, that's Monday!), the online shopping site will invite its exclusive members to enter to win a bubble-hemmed cocktail-style, floral silk faille dress designed by the fashion legend.

Plus, the lucky girl will receive a sketch of the design (shown right) signed by the designer.

Ideeli.com is one of a slew of new online sample sale sites that offer luxury goods at discounted prices -- but has taken a different route to drive traffic.

Oscars - After the Party, It's the After Party

kate bosworthWhat's more glamorous than the Oscars? That's easy -- the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. It's the place where all the stars go to celebrate after the stuffy red carpet and show. Don't get us wrong -- we were smitten with many of the red carpets gowns and the oh-so-sexy host, Hugh Jackman.

The Oscars was full, full of white dresses this year. Perhaps this is due to the recession; thrifty celebrity fashionistas hope to reuse their Oscar gowns as their next wedding dresses. We took a look at the dresses and marital statuses of several gorgeous offenders.

Penelope Cruz in YSL - I Want That!

Posted Feb 7th 2009 at 10:00AM by Boydie Beener

Filed under: Get the Look

penelope cruzAre you loving this laid-back, unfussy side of Penelope Cruz as much as we are? Here, at the Oscars luncheon in Hollywood, Miss Cruz tries casual chic in this fantastic head to toe designer number. While we normally see her in grandiose haute couture gowns, it's great to see that she looks just as insanely beautiful pared down. Plus it's such an easy look to copy cat and great for any body type.

Tip of the day: Best drugstore mascaras

Posted Jun 18th 2008 at 11:45AM by Boydie Beener

Filed under: Cosmetics, Celebrities with Style, Style Tip of the Day


Over the last decade that we've been wearing makeup (yeah we had one of those dad's that forbid it until we were 16... laaaaame), we have probably tested every single mascara available at our local drugstore – no kidding. We had a great time testing over the years, particularly during a brief period of CVS employment that was strictly for the cosmetic discount. It was basically a crazed 2 month makeup rampage... ahhh the memories.

So after all of this time, we are pleased to share our findings with you.

Lots of celebrities have taken to "designing" clothing lines. And, while some of them make sense -- who wouldn't want to dress like Penelope Cruz? -- some are questionable, to say the least. Check out this list of celebrity clothing designers and then cast your vote -- who's line would you be most likely to wear?

Scarlett Johannson misses Cannes because she's a diva

Filed under: Hair Care, Cosmetics, Celebrities with Style


So far Woody Allen's new movie, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, has been a huge success at Cannes. There was a ten minute standing ovation after the film's debut, and critics and fans alike have applauded the film's stars from the moment they stepped on the red carpet.

Well, some of the film's stars, anyway -- Penelope Cruz and Rebecca Hall got to enjoy the praise, but Scarlett Johansson didn't make the trip to Cannes this year because the studio wouldn't accommodate her requests.

Oscar Coverage: Best dress -- Penelope Cruz

Posted Feb 24th 2008 at 9:27PM by Kyle Hepp

Filed under: Red Carpet Trends




Nobody does glamor like Penelope Cruz! I know she didn't take any real risks with this look, but that doesn't take away from the fact that she looks fantastic.

Penelope obviously knows how to work her curves. The cut of the dress makes her waist look enviably tiny, while making her look *ahem* bigger up top. The feather detail on the bust is a nice touch, bringing life to what could have been a boring gown, but the feathers near the bottom are even better because of their unexpected placement.

I also loved the fact that she wore her hair half up while the rest of the ladies at the Oscars went for the glam ponytails or the tightly pulled back up-do's. She stood out to me because she was just a little bit different than anyone else. That's not surprising, Penelope has never been afraid of standing out!

Dress of the Day: MNG Pinaford Dress

Posted Dec 2nd 2007 at 2:02PM by Sarah J. Gim

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves

MNG by mango Pinaford DressWe've a confession to make. We haven't been totally honest. We've been hiding something and we feel a little guilty about it.

H&M, we've been cheating on you.

We've been falling for Mango, the latest "high-end low-end" clothing store. We're particularly fond of the Pinaford Dress, which happens to come from the collection designed by Penelope and Monica Cruz. The short sleeve dress made of a broad plaid fabric is so short that it could technically be called a "top," but with a pair of opaque tights and the right pair of shoes, works for the mid-Autumn. We're thinking dark tights a pair of navy blue patent leather Mary Janes. If you can find them, that is.

The dress is available from Mango, both online and in the store for $89.

Penélope Cruz starts new clothing line

Posted Apr 5th 2007 at 9:45AM by Jonathon Morgan

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style

It seems like every time you turn around another celebrity has created a clothing line. The latest actress-turned-designer is Penélope Cruz, who's set to design a 25-piece collection with her younger sister, Monica.

The line, which includes accessories, will be sold through the Mango, a Spanish chain. Not surprisingly, the sisters will also be promoting their collection as the faces of the company's fall/winter ad campaign.

This isn't the first time the sisters have worked together in the fashion arena. They've already designed handbags and jewelery for Samantha Thavasa, a Japanese chain, and own a store together, called Amacord.

To be honest, I'm not a big enough Penélope Cruz fan to have any idea what her personal fashion sense is like, but the bags she and her sister designed for Samantha Thavasa -- though not awful -- are certainly nothing to write home about. I doubt we'll be seeing anything shocking original from this latest collaboration.

best dressed at the oscars 2007
Alright, dolls. I know we're all in the middle of watching the golden statuettes being handed out, but you have to find something to do during the commercial breaks, right? As a member of the Styledash Academy, you're obligated to vote for who you believe was the Best Dressed on the Red Carpet tonight. The style ran the gamut from Meryl Streep in Boho Chic to full-on Hollywood glamour, but we were able to narrow down the choices to these six nominees. Make your vote in the comments (and if you followed along during our liveblogging, you probably know who I'm voting for), and if you think we very grossly overlooked someone, feel free to let us know!
  • Penelope Cruz - pretty in pink
  • Portia di Rossi - braided beauty
  • Nicole Kidman - red hot
  • Reese Witherspoon - dark angel
  • Beyonce - light mint lady
  • Helen Mirren - golden goddess

Penelope Cruz is a Grecian Goddess

Posted Nov 7th 2006 at 2:39PM by Elise Carter

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Hair Care, Celebrities with Style

I have always thought of Penelope Cruz as a little ethereal. She seems to effortlessly pull off a glamorous yet approachable look; mixing classic style with the latest trends very naturally.

Last week was no exception, as Ms. Cruz attended the Hollywood premier of her latest movie, Volver, wearing a creamy white, asymmetrically cut, beautifully draped Greek-style gown. Cruz accessorized the dress with diamond earrings and bangles, and wore her hair in an Audrey Hepburn-esque chignon. The overall effect may not have been "on trend", but was one of ageless, timeless beauty, which is refreshing to see amidst so many style-of-the-moment, leggings-clad celebrities.

The Spanish stunner is rumored to be a front-runner in the Oscar race for her performance in the all-Spanish Volver. If Cruz wins, she will be the first woman to take home the Best Actress award for a foreign-language film since Sophia Loren won in 1961.
