Last night, the London Evening Standard awards took place celebrating stars of the silver screen. Nowhere Boy star Anne-Marie Duff was there in a cute pink bow adorned dress hiding her bump. She wasn't the only one to wear a bright colour as Jaime Winstone went for a sexy siren look in a little red dress and Nathalie Press wore a '70s inspired gold gown. Eva Green and Sarah Brown stuck to classic Read more

Last night, Scottish actress, model and Doctor Who star Karen Gillan arrived looking lovely at the 57th Evening Standard Theatre Awards. Her outfit was chic, edgy and feminine in a satin black bubble skirt and cream lace long sleeve top, yet it was her makeup that stole the show. Her face was porcelain and perfect with creamy rose lips, black eyeliner and a strong dose of coppery eye shadow to Read more
The good ole Advertising Standards Authority has slapped mega beauty brand L'Oreal on the hand once again. This time, a skincare advert for a new product called Revitalift Repair 10 starring British beauty Rachel Weisz is in question for 'misleading photoshopping.' The ad has just been banned in Britain and the The ASA claims, "We told L’Oréal Paris to ensure that they did not use Read more
Rihanna's Reb'l Fleur fragrance ($35) has had banner sales since it launched, but her "racy" ads have led to some very creative Photoshop cover-up jobs, at least in Kuwait, where clothing was literally put back on her. Rihanna isn't the only celebrity who gets reclothed in some countries, but it is interesting to see what's deemed inappropriate for international marketing efforts. Despite Read more
Last night's Met Gala was a feast for the sartorial eyes. The dominant colors of the evening — red, nude, and gold — were at opposite ends of the color spectrum, but they carried an equally big impact. Some stars chose sexy red gowns, some mixed nude tones with a bit of sparkle, and others went for pure gold. Jessica Alba and Kate Hudson shined in their gilded dresses, while Victoria's Read more
Ah, the vicissitudes of perfume jargon. There's a surfeit of terms out there, but little explanation of what the heck any of it means. In a given department store, you'll find parfum, extrait de parfum, liqueur de parfum, eau de parfum, cologne, eau de toilette, body splash, aftershave, and the list goes on. And while they might all just seem like variations on the same thing, in reality, they Read more
We spotted wrap skirts on the runway from designers like Proenza Schouler, Aquascutum, Reed Krakoff, and more — the geometric, slightly off-kilter shape gives the standard skirt a fun face lift, and one that will look fresh and modern even when paired with more classic pieces. Typically worn low on the hips, it's a versatile piece that takes well to many different types of tops and sweaters. Read more
When you see Theyskens' Theory collection, you are reminded of the extraordinary fact that this is one of high fashion’s most romantic, deeply talented designers creating clothes for a contemporary American sportswear brand, which has become known for their well-fitting pants.
