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?

Kate Hudson - Clothing Optional

Filed under: Celebrities with Style

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."



Not that we're complaining -- we love celebrity nudity as much as the next person -- but what's with stars going naked on the covers of fashion magazines?

Kate Hudson is one of the most frequent skin flashing offenders, and according to The Sun, that's not going to stop any time soon. She loves doing it, and she plans more.

Not that she's an exhibitionist. No, when Kate bares all on the cover of InStyle, it's because of her love of the arts. Sure it is, Kate.

Golly, that reminds us of how Jennifer Aniston was on the cover of December's GQ wearing only a tie (which you can win, btw!), just because she's creative and free like that. Also, we hear she's deliriously happy and not desperate at all.

Oh -- their movies coming out at the same time as their magazine covers? Just delightful coincidences!

Your Princess is in another castle. Get a day job!

Filed under: Accessories, Men, Gift Guides, Must Haves

We love this tie. We love how emo the model is. Wouldn't you be emo if you were ripped from your 8-bit world into this crazy, disorganized one? No fire flowers, no invincibility stars...from superhero to plumber in a financial crisis.

Brian Batt at Mad Men wrap party - Style Foul!

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



There's a reason you never hear the phrase "Lovely Man Flower." Bryan Batt, was kind enough to wear Exhibit A to the Mad Men season two wrap party, demonstrating that there's no such thing as a formal aloha floral pant.

Bryan's character Salvatore Romano is an art director with a secret. Here he's making no secret of his bad judgment. As much as we love a black and white pattern, it works better on a tie. Or curtains, which kind of makes sense when you learn that Bryan is also a interior designer. Maybe he just saw them in the window and had to have them.

Look, at this point we're just grateful he didn't buy the matching jacket. Thank you for small favors, Bryan!

eBay WTF of the Day: Making a statement with your tie

Filed under: Accessories, Men

kibble.
Shame on you, Nicole Miller. Look at this tie, for sale here on eBay by someone who actually named their own self "being_lovely."

A tie can say a lot about a man. All kinds of crazy analysts (and probably some sane ones) chime in when it's time to pick what color tie a political candidate should wear to a debate, for example. From our personal experience, we know that a bright blue tie makes us like you, and a bright orange tie makes us hate you. (Not really.) (Okay, sort of.) (Maybe just Annie.)

Are neckties going extinct?

Filed under: Men, Celebrities with Style

You didn't really just give your dad another tie for Father's Day did you? I hope you included a gift receipt.

In the past century we've seen bow ties, skinny ties, fat ones, long and short ones ... you name it, guys wore it. And now the latest trend in neckties for guys is ... no tie at all.

E! Online has a gallery of A-list guys who've been seen sans necktie, including George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio and John Mayer. While the red carpet scene is (of course) faster to accept the tieless look than Wall Street, it definitely could be a sign of things to come.

Is this the beginning of the end for the old "suit and tie" duo? Before you insist that ties are here to stay, think about this: What purpose does a necktie really serve? A fashion accessory without a purpose is always at risk of disappearing completely (think powdered wigs), or else becoming something that's only worn to look retro or classic (think kids wearing top hats and long coattails to prom.)

Watches with a necktie twist

Filed under: Accessories, Men

It's been a long time since watch bands were simple leather bands to hold your watch in place. Today, there are all sorts of variations on the watch bands, ranging from thick leather straps to spike-studded rubber. But I've run into something incredibly unique: The Original Tie Watch from Neves.

Yep, that's right -- a tie is used as a band for your watch. And these aren't just solid-colored ties, they've got all kinds of patterns. They use vintage-styled ties to create quite a different look for the standard watch. First -- you pick your tie. They offer 28 different styles, but if you can't find one you like, you can send them your own tie (as long as you buy the watch from them). Then, you pick your style. They've got a few different ways to wrap the tie around your wrist (Windsor, Pratt, or Persian). Finally, pick your wrist size.

The price for all combinations is $75, and all the items are labeled as "unisex." Not too expensive for such a unique item. However, one must proceed with caution: things could end up looking very tacky if you don't wear this with the right outfit, or pick the right tie for that matter.
