Brad Pitt is in the Pink

Filed under: Men, Celebrities with Style

It takes a real man to wear pink. And since Brad Pitt is nothing if not a real man, it's no surprise that he absolutely owned the pale pink, two-piece "Spencer" suit by Tom Ford Menswear. He sported the pastel-hued ensemble at the Cannes photocall for his film "Inglourious Basterds."

Pitt paired his rosy suit with a crisp white shirt, gray cashmere scarf and brown loafers (very yacht-worthy), all from the Tom Ford Menswear collection. We have to admit, we didn't realize the color could look so manly.

Oh, and in case you were curious, Angelina was nowhere in sight, but we're still taking bets on what she'll wear on the red carpet tonight!

Jennifer Aniston in Burberry - I Want That!

Filed under: Get the Look

Jennifer AnistonLast but certainly not least of the "He's Just Not That Into You" red carpet take over, is Jennifer Aniston. To be frank, we've been so super inspired by Jennifer lately that we actually started doing a similar exercise program to hers (lots of running, yoga, and calisthenics). Man does it hurt but boy do we have our fingers crossed that we as hot as she when we're in our 40's!

Angelina Jolie at a *Different* "The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button" Premiere - StyleFab!

Filed under: Clothing, Celebrities with Style, Celebrity Fashion Mistakes

Dammit, we hate when this happens.

As a rule, we find Angelina Jolie irritating. And just last Tuesday we called her out for a Golden-Girls-esque StyleFoul at the Berlin premiere of "The Curious Case of blah blah blah the title is as long as the freaking movie".

Then last night they turned up at the film's premiere in Paris and we are forced to admit that she and the Pitt-ster somehow pulled off seriously elegant, striking, matching pale grey outfits. Yes! Matching!

We don't know how this happened, or even why we like her silvery ensemble so much. Or why it's okay that the two of them totally match, like some lovely dovey high school couple, or aging tourists from Kansas. But we do, and it is.

Her coat looks so soft that it could be made of 200% cashmere, and yet it is not slouchy at all. The color makes her hair look dark and glossy, and her coordinating wide-legged pants are tailored to exactly the right length to keep them from eating her feet, as they did in Germany.

Brad also looks fantastic, clean even, in his three-piece suit and silver tie. And we are just overwhelmed by the grey scarf he's carrying. It's dapper. He totally reminds us of Bob Redford here. Yes, really.

That said, she can wipe the superior look right off her face. Yeah, this round goes to her, but we're not like her fans now or anything. We just like her outfit. For once. Okay?

Guys - If you only have one suit, here's what you need to know

Filed under: Men, Videos, Celebrities with Style


Some guys wear a suit every day for work. Most likely, these fellas know what to look for in a good suit -- they're surrounded by them, and they've probably suit shopped more than once. But a lot of men wear suits only for certain occasions -- weddings, funerals, and maybe interviews -- and these are the guys we're talking to today.

If you're only going to have one suit hanging in your closet, make it the right suit. Whether you choose one that's hot or hideous, you're going to be spending a chunk of change on it, so you might as well look your best. And, take a cue from GQ -- dress like Cary Grant.

Princess Anne's thrifty wardrobe

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Celebrities with Style

Princess Anne
Well, perhaps Jennifer Lopez' babies can't wear the same outfit twice, but Princess Anne isn't above it. On several occasions, the Princess has worn an outfit on separate occasions. In fact, she did so just this weekend.

She first wore a Maureen Baker white and yellow dress 27 years ago to the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer, and wore it again this Saturday to Lady Rose Windsor's nuptials, complete with the same yellow flowered hat.

Tip of the day: How to rock a white suit

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


Alright so you want to wear a white suit. Phhhooo, this is a toughie. White suits often make a man appear like he thinks his ish don't stink. You know the type: majestic yet totally tacky, sexy yet a complete ago maniac, cool yet far from innocent. The bastards. Studs like P.Diddy and David Beckham are prime white suit candidates. And didn't Al Capone and Scarface wear them too? As you see it takes a heck of a man to rock this right.

So if you think you've got the stuff to pull a white suit off here are a few more rules to follow to make sure you're the dapperest don in the room.

Going pro: What your color says about you

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses

What message does your outfit send?

(click thumbnail to view photo)

  • Gray
  • Brown
  • Black
  • White
  • Red

Somewhere during your grown-up years, chances are you'll have the opportunity to attend some sort of networking event. And, while you could go with the resume tee, in some professions that might not go over all that well -- you need to find a more polished, professional look.

However, before you throw on your trusty old suit, think about the message you want to send. Just as the type of attire you choose (suit, dress, etc.) says something about you, the color you choose sends a message to prospective contacts and employers. Check out the gallery to see what impression different colors make.

Bruce Wayne gets an Armani makeover

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


Nothing but the best will do for Batman, that's for sure. He's got the Batmobile for Pete's sake, and his alter ego, Bruce Wayne lives in complete luxury. And so, it's only fitting that Bruce (played by Christian Bale) will be sporting Giorgio Armani Hand Made-to-Measure throughout the highly anticipated Batman flick, The Dark Knight.

Also fitting is the fact that Armani will be designing for a superhero, seeing as how last May he chaired the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art's exhibition, Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy. Armani acknowledges that this line is the perfect choice for Batman's less rubber-ensconced side, saying, "As a Giorgio Armani Hand Made-to-Measure client, Bruce Wayne is demonstrating his status as a discriminating and sophisticated connoisseur of fine fashion, while also showing he has individual taste."

Parke & Ronen: Men's classic swimwear

Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing, Swimwear and Lingerie, Men


Parke & Ronen make stylish swimwear for men that range from classic preppy to classic board short. Of their four basic types of suit, bikini, 4" swim, 8" swim and snap short, respectively, our favorite is the 8" swim. It's not that we don't care for the other options that they carry, we really do, but frankly, if we tried to wear any of the other styles onto the beach we'd most likely be arrested. Or at the very least ridiculed until we wound up under the pier in the fetal position.

They are for the fit. Daniel Craig fit, not second base on the Styledash softball/drinking team fit.
