—Those who have thought that women larger than size 6 can’t look good in a bathing suit have been put to shame: French Marie Claire is making huge waves with their June issue, which features plus-sized models in a swimsuit editorial.
—Apparently Miley Cyrus isn’t the only Disney star who needs lessons in stylish shoe walking. Vanessa Hudgens nearly took a fall from walking in her ankle boots.

The actress - who plays fashion-conscious Carrie Bradshaw in the big-screen version of the TV series - donned a black armband and wore a stunning strapless dress, which she teamed with shoes and a clutch bag, which were all from the tragic designer’s collection.
“There’s only person I could have worn tonight and that was Alexander McQueen.”

—Roberto Cavalli reveals that he is “a completely typical man,” in that women drive him crazy. Considering that it’s Cavalli, I’m more inclined to think that he’s the one driving the opposite (and possibly same?) sex crazy.
—Although she’s usually looking sultry and glamorous, Alicia Keys showed up to the Keep a Child Alive Black Ball in London looking frumpy and too layered. She may be aiming for flower petals, but all I see is a feathered animal.
—Even though she’s apparently loaded with cash, Gisele Bundchen and husband Tom Brady need not worry about being sued. A New York judge dismissed a case carried by photographers who claim they were shot by bodyguards at the famous couple’s Costa Rican wedding.
—Supermodel Kate Moss spends some serious vacation time topless on a Caribbean beach with boyfriend Jamie Hince of The Kills. The couple even wore matching bathing suit bottoms!
—Catch a video of Marc Jacobs talking at the Louis Vuitton Bonds Street opening about extravagance, luxury, and… universes.

A-Listers Donate Designer Dresses For Haiti
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News
When in Cannes, donate to a good cause! Penelope Cruz and other Hollywood celebs helped raised $333,000 for Haiti by selling their designer dresses this past week.
The 35-year-old beauty and jewelery maker Chopard raised the sum by organizing an auction for the Jenkins-Penn Haitian Relief Organization at the Cannes Film Festival. Donators to the auction included Anne Hathaway, Julia Roberts, Gisele Bundchen, Charlize Theron and Salma Hayek - who raised $21,000 alone for her burgundy Gucci gown, the first from the Italian brand’s new couture range.
An original sketch for the gown by Gucci’s creative director Frida Giannini was also sold alongside the creation. Other celebrities who gave outfits included Naomi Watts, Diane Kruger, Scarlett Johansson and Gwyneth Paltrow.
The Jenkins-Penn charity was created by Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn as a response to help the Caribbean nation in its recovery from twos earthquake in January this year. Around 230,000 people were killed and around 1 million made homeless as a result of the quakes.
Fashion Police: Princess Lily Allen
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, News
Sometimes less really isn’t more.
While I laud her for a simple look, singer Lily Allen is looking a little too dated and possibly in need of an apron. Allen showed up to the Ivor Novello songwriting awards in this cream-colored frock with a pair of ruby red shoes peeking from beneath the flowing fabric. I can’t decide if it’s the mismatched nail polish and shoes or the overall Middle Age peasant vibe that distresses me. For someone who’s a favorite of Karl Lagerfeld, I would think that she’d know better!
Costume mishap or princess chic?

Gemma Arterton Happy With Her Curves
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, News
Much like A-list actress Anne Hathaway, Prince of Persia starlet Gemma Arterton refuses to conform to Hollywood’s idea of the perfect figure.
The stunning actress is a UK size 8-10 (US 4-6) and while she’s still very slim, it is regarded as big in the movie world but Gemma won’t risk her health in a bid to fit into a smaller size.
“I went to a designer the other day, who will remain nameless, and he said to me, ‘I’m amazed that you’re fitting into those sample sizes.’ And I thought, ‘Hang on a minute! I’m a size eight to 10! I should be amazed that the largest you’re making these in a size six.’ But the only way I could ever be a size six is if I didn’t eat. I’m not naturally meant to be that size, and I just feel like there’s a responsibility for people that aren’t that size to make that known. All I can do, I think, is try to look good. I have things made for me, so they fit.”
Gemma, 24, also chooses designers which cater for women with a curvier figure. She told Stylist, “Louis Vuitton always makes things in decent sizes that look good on anyone who has hips and a waist. And I really like L’Wren Scott, Alberta Ferretti, Givenchy, Balmain and Armani. I only wear this stuff at event. The rock ‘n’ roll look is more my sort of thing.”
Carey Mulligan Donates BAFTA Dress to Oxfam
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News
She’s as sweet in person as she is on screen! Carey Mulligan has donated her BAFTAs dress to charity.
The 24 year-old actress wore the black and white Vionnet gown to the prestigious ceremony in February - where she was named Best Actress for her role in An Education - but has now given it to Oxfam, to help raise money for the charity’s women’s projects.
“I’m honored to be able to donate my BAFTA dress to support Oxfam’s work helping women living in extreme poverty across the world.”
The dress will be displayed in a temporary Oxfam shop in the basement of London department store Selfridges for a week from Friday, and will be auctioned off with a starting price of $65. Shoppers at the pop-up store will be helped by a group of high-profile women headed by singer Annie Lennox. Funds raised from the sale of the dress will go to Oxfam’s women’s projects across the world including Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Democratic Republic of Congo, West Africa and South Africa. The projects help support and protect vulnerable women by campaigning against violence, giving them the chance of an education and helping in the fight against HIV and AIDS.
