The Met's Costume Institute Gala - Double Takes

Filed under: Style in the News, Dresses, Celebrities with Style, Red Carpet Trends

The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala may be one of the biggest society events of the year, but it's also a time for the fashion cognoscenti to be a bit playful -- they are among friends after all.

Here's a look at some of the cheekier outfits of the night, and a guess at who may have played muse to these style mavens:

Who Really Dressed Jeremy Piven at the Golden Globes?

Filed under: Men, Celebrities with Style, Red Carpet Trends

Jeremy Piven adjusts his tie on the red carpetAlthough award show men's attire is almost invariably dull and homogenized, it still plays a role in the important art of score-keeping between competing designers. So, what happens when two designers can't agree on who dressed an A-lister at the Golden Globes? That's what happened with Jeremy Piven's wardrobe at Sunday's awards. John Varvatos and Domenico Vacca both took credit for Piven's suit via press releases from their PR departments. So, who really designed it?

Mickey Rourke at the Premiere of 'The Wrestler' - StyleFoul

Filed under: Celebrity Fashion Mistakes



Okay, seriously, we do not want to tangle with Mickey Rourke. Besides the fact that he can obviously hold his own physically, it's clear this dude will do just about anything. He's not bound by the conventions of mere mortal (losers) men. You can tell just by looking at him...he's special.

Wimbledon is fashion central, at least for tennis

Filed under: Clothing, Celebrities with Style



Maria promised to change up her Wimbledon outfit, and and she came through. Her "menswear-inspired" Nike outfit is a decidedly sexy, sheer top with a tudexo "dickie" embellishing the front. With the matching white jacket and white shorts, she could as easily be on her way to lunch as to a championship match.

Players frequently blend in at Wimbledon, where everyone is required to wear white from head to toe. A few, like Sharapova, manage to stand out despite this restriction.

Five-time champion Roger Federer, also sponsored by Nike, does it with a surprise look each year. Others, like Rafa Nadal and his manpris, have their own unique and consistent look that they bring to every match. Not to mention regular fashion notables Serena and Venus Williams, who are almost as well known for their fashion off the court as they are for winning on the court.

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."

So Clear & So Clean

Filed under: Men, Skin Care



If time has proven anything it is that Ponce de León was way off mark. Aside from the bikinis washed upon the shoreline of Miami the closest thing to a Fountain of Youth in Florida has big mouse ears on it. Those cars with the New York plates? Those people aren't young, Ponce.

No, the Fountain of Youth can be found on me -- on my face to be exact. You see, I'm closer to 40 30 than I have any right being, and yet I have enough blemishes and pimples to be invited to prom or tested for steroids. Sure, it's kind of fun being the guy that can buy beer at the dance, but testifying before Congress? That's lame.

That's why I tried Advantage Acne Spot Treatment by Clean & Clear. It is a salicylic acid acne medication. Yeah, that doesn't mean anything to me either. However, it also claims, right on the tube, that it "won't overdry skin," which is good. The only thing worse than having a big pimple on your face is having a big pimple on your lizard face. That's awkward.

All I know is that it works. Fast. I've got a tux to rent and a corsage to buy. I can't afford to worry about my complexion.

Haute Holiday Party Style: It's a man's world

Holiday Style Report: It's a Man's World
Menswear for women became really in vogue this past fall and the trend is still going strong this winter. Getting in touch with your masculine side has never been so fashionable and sexy -- simply add a few touches of femininity to take the edge off.

Dude looks like a lady: It's not too often you see a dude in a dress but these dresses have a touch of "dude" in them. Black silk charmeuse will take the most feminine dress into masculine territory, like this tube dress from Diane von Furstenberg. To get more of the trend, try this tuxedo dress by Rachel Roy.

Tomboy tops
: Wearing a blazer or a white button down doesn't have to be stuffy and uncomfortable. This white blazer by Alice & Olivia is casual enough to wear with jeans and a lace camisole. If blazers aren't your bag go with this white button down with black sequin details from Dolce & Gabbana.

You wear the pants, and the shoes:
Black pants don't have to be the cliché pants you know from your college days. Black pants can be smart and sexy; these pants from McQ are a sure thing and will stay in style for years to come. When it comes to shoes never wear a pair of flats or you will run the risk of looking too manly. Go with a sexy pair of heels from Roberto Cavalli or Betsey Johnson.

The cherry on top:
Accessories can make your outfit "work." Make it more masculine with an oversized watch or make it more feminine with a girly headband or add some lace tights.
