While we’re in the midst of the Venice International Film Festival and about to embark on the Toronto International Film Festival next week, let’s not forget about the Deauville American Film Festival — which just kicked off in France!

For the opening ceremony last night, the jury members hit the red carpet in style.

French actress and director Sandrine Bonnaire wore a white-and-black ruched column gown by Paule Ka with a dramatic element at the right shoulder.

She added some sparkling touches to the look with diamond drop earrings and a matching bracelet, before finishing off with black platform open toe sandals and a blush satin flap over clutch with a jeweled clasp.

Clotilde Courau, Princess of Venice and Piedmont, wore an all-pink look.

She gathered her light brunette tresses into a swept up ‘do, which showed off her toned bare shoulders in a corset light pink gown by Jil Sander, from the Fall/Winter 2012 collection.

Because of the raised hem, Clotilde wore a bold pair of satin platform pumps and finished off with a oversize pink opal cocktail ring surrounded by diamonds.

What did you think of Sandrine and Clotilde’s opening ceremony gowns?

Before attending the Hollywood premiere of “Bachelorette” last night, Kirsten Dunst sat down for an interview with Jay Leno on “The Tonight Show” to talk about her hysterical new movie about one wild bachelorette party.

Even though it was a late night talk show appearance, Kirsten looked ready for the red carpet wearing a strapless black wool bustier long dress by Jil Sander; from the designer’s Fall 2012 collection.

This was a far cry from the bright blue dress that she wore to the premiere! | continue reading..

How can GWEN STEFANI possibly tell me to “Settle Down” when No Doubt has a new album coming out next month and she’s looking all kinds of fierce in the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar? That’s a tall order I think — and not one I can fulfill.

Trust me, you’ll agree.

Terry Richardson photographed the never-aging musician for the editorial purely consisting of a white background and Gwen in all her fantastic fashionable glory. The 42-year-old singer-turned-designer and mother of two glams up in a lot of pink (one of which is McQueen, hello.) as well as a few dark and dramatic frocks that she models flawlessly.

Of course she does. | continue reading..

The August cover of Teen Vogue features not one, but two covers stars — EMMA STONE and ANDREW GARFIELDfrom “The Amazing Spider-Man”. The lovely on-screen (and off-screen) couple posed together in an outdoor New York City shoot wearing bold ensembles from the hottest Fall 2012 top designer collections.

For the cover, photographed by Josh Olins, Andrew suited up in a blue and black contrast Carven jacket while Emma — sporting pretty sculpted wavy locks — wore a vibrant purple long dress by Louis Vuitton. | continue reading..

MILA KUNIS nabbed the August cover of ELLE UK where the stylists of the fashion magazine, once again, took a little beauty inspiration of the 1960s. Doug Inglish photographed the “Ted” actress relaxing on a seemingly uncomfortable chair set in a vintage Hollywood home while donned in a blush-colored gown from the Christian DiorFall 2012 collection.

This plunging off-runway design was embellished on the wide bust straps with gorgeous Swarovski crystal star cut appliqués.

Mila, who’s the current face of the Dior fashion campaign, was styled by Leith Clark in two more looks from the fashion house as well as a few other beautiful looks from the latest fall collections. | continue reading..

KATY PERRY covers up her black and purple hair with a short, bright white-blonde wig for an editorial lens by Francesco Carrozzini for the June 2012 issue of Vogue Italia. The fashionable spread comes in time to promote her new concert documentary movie “Katy Perry: Part Of Me”, which is due in theaters on July 5th.

The 27-year-old “Wide Awake” songstress stiffly posed like a mannequin in a seafoam-colored cubicle room wearing furturisic looks that take on a retro feel from some of the hottest Fall 2012 designer collections, such as Jil Sander, Oscar de la Renta, Dolce & Gabbana and Donna Karan.

She even donned a bright pink wig for a cotton candy Comme des Garçons look! | continue reading..

 

Making her VOGUE Magazine debut, “The Amazing Spider-Man” star EMMA STONE covers the July 2012 issue, lens by Mario Testino, wearing negligee-looking Nina Ricciivory and pale pink silk-and-wool dress with lacy black elements and a wool-tweed coat from the designer’s Fall 2012 collection.

Tonne Goodman styled Emma for the cover shoot and helped her accessorize the light colored pieces with sparkling star earrings by H. Stern, while hairstylist Christiaan gave her blonde mane a relaxed, partially swept feel and makeup artist Linda Cantello carefully lined her eyes to really pop yet kept her pout on the pale side.

For the editorial, Emma played the androgynous look by suiting up in patterned menswear-inspired outfits as well as a few sassy — and slinky — frocks from designer collections like Prada, Versus, Jil Sander, and Givenchy. “This is what fashion does for people,” Stone says. “It makes them feel like it’s an extension of themselves.”

Inside the issue, Emma talked to Nathan Heller about the latest Spider-Man flick, her idols (which include Diane Keaton, by the way), and finding the balance between drama and comedy in her acting career. | continue reading..

For the first time ever, SELENA GOMEZ covers the July issue of ELLE Magazine — lens by Carter Smith.

The 19-year-old actress-turned-popstar has been the subject of many tabloid chatter, mostly centering around her highly publicized relationship with Justin Bieber, but also due to her burgeoning pop music career, a debut signature fragrance and two upcoming movies — the animated “Hotel Transylvania” and next year’s “Spring Breakers”, where Selena more than sheds her Disney girl image.

Not only did she make her ELLE debut, but she did it twice over with a special double issue. For the bright yellow glossy cover, with her name written boldy across her body, Joe Zee styled Selena in a printed tunic from the Fall 2012 collection by Balmain as her long beachy waves, courtesy of hairstylist Harry Josh, cascaded over her shoulders.

The second cover finds Selena in a gorgeous gold embroidered corset dress by Dolce & Gabbana. | continue reading..

 

 

KRISTEN STEWART graces her second magazine cover of the year with the June 2012 issue of ELLE UK!

Back in March, the British fashion magazine broke protocol and announced that Kristen would be covering the summer issue in honor of the release of her new movie “Snow White and the Huntsman”. Shortly after their announcement, the editors tweeted a play-by-play of their Los Angeles photoshoot with K.Stew on location at the Scientology Celebrity Centre. They shared photos of the clothing rack, location and jewelry — but never showed K.Stew, of course.

The result? A sassy 1960s-inspired shoot in a gorgeous garden — photographed by David Slijper.

For the cover, Anne-Marie Curtis styled Kristen in a Spring 2012 white cropped sweater, pencil skirt and slip by Jil Sander. | continue reading..

After stepping out in a tie-dye psychedelic dress last week, Leelee Sobieski went back to chic basics tonight for the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival Vanity Fair Party in a solid white Jil Sander gown.

The 28-year-old actress arrived at the State Supreme Courthouse in this Spring 2012 short sleeve gown with an open collar.

With barely any jewelry, red lips and a slicked back folded hairstyle, Leelee gave this entire look somewhat of a retro feel. However, her hair had a bit too much product in it! I wish she had opted for a softer hairstyle with a little volume.
