Holy moly! EMMA STONE is quite literally 'out-of-this-world' for the September cover of Interview Magazine, which is dubbed "The Fashion Issue". Mikael Jansson photographed the "Gangster Squad" actress in a series of nightclub and alleyway locations that look like they are set in the 1980s -- in outer space! Seriously, this editorial is trippy and fabulous! Karl Templer styled Emma in various fierce threads from the Fall/Winter 2012 runways by Christopher Kane, Lanvin, Versace, Balenciaga, Haider Ackermann and YSL, while hairstylist Paul Hanlon gave her an extraterrestrial-inspired sleek hairstyle to compliment her intense smoky eyes -- courtesy of makeup artist Mark Carrasquillo. Director and producer Cameron Crowe interviewed Emma for the issue, where she opened up about all of her acting gigs, her first heartbreak, her public image, her likes and dislikes -- and much, much more. Her thoughts on expressing herself in interviews: "In general I get nervous when I do print interviews because I know that whatever I say is going to be shown through the lens of whomever I'm talking to. So I've read a lot of different versions of myself—and all of them are true because it's all opinion and they're as accurate as it can ever be. But I don't think that I've been deft at hiding parts of my personality. I have not mentioned parts of my life, for sure—although I have talked about my childhood more now and anxiety and that side of myself. I don't think that people would expect that I would have panic attacks . . . Or I don't know if they would, because I don't know what people expect of me. I have no idea." On filming her new movie, "Gangster Squad": Working with Sean [Penn] was pretty cool. There was a moment when Sean did an impression of the guy he was in jail next to, and then I realized I was working with Sean Penn, because he became the guy he was in jail next to. You hear people do a voice, but his entire body . . . He turned into this terrifying guy with this tiny voice who was talking about his cat. I was like, "Holy sh-t. This guy is touched by something." The fashion is incredibly fierce, which goes perfectly with Emma's otherworldly look.

Can we talk about how amazing KATY PERRY looks on the pink-pink-pink September cover for ELLE Magazine? Because she. looks. sensational. Yup, purple and all, the 27-year-old "Part of Me" singer graces the coveted issue, lens by Carter Smith, while showing off her fantastic curves in a embroidered blush pink cap sleeve crepe dress by Bottega Veneta. Are you surprised that Mr. Joe Zee styled Katy in a glittering frock fit for a pop diva like herself? Because, I'm not and I love it! Katy opens up in the magazine from her love life to her career and, of course, all of her adoring fans who follow everything she does. So, how does the singer feel about being role model to young girls? "I have no regrets...I'm not going to be everything to everyone. I can't tell a person when it's time for them to have sex. Or if they should have a cigarette...But I try to live my life with a lot of integrity, and, hopefully, that sends a message." With her ever changing colorful hair styled in super long sleek strands with blunt bangs, courtesy of hairstylist Renato Campora, Katy shows off all of her beauty details; from her super intense smoky eyes by makeup artist Jake Bailey to the creative Yin-Yang print on her nails thanks to nail genius Kimmie Kyees. Phew! I could totally go on and on about this cover, so how about I just stop myself now while you browse look the rest of the stellar frocks K.P. got hooked up with for the shoot and don't forget to go pick up the issue for yourself!

After spending the summer in our movie theaters starring opposite Steve Carrell in "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World", KEIRA KNIGHTLEY returns to cinemas this fall in the title role of "Anna Karenina"; the Joe Wright-directed film based off the famed novel by Russian writer Leo Tolstoy. As if that role wasn't enough, the newly-engaged English actress also scored the lead for Harper Bazaar UK 's September issue! Ellen Von Unwerth photographed the English beauty in a mysterious dark garden wearing a whimsical array of looks straight from the Fall/Winter 2012 runways. For the cover, Keira gives us "the side-eye" while donned in a tweed-and-feather embellished Chanel cape and sporting a berry-stained open pout and partially gathered cascading tendrils as she clutches an oversize dark red rose. But, inside the issue Cathy Kasterine took the dark beauty further by styling Keira in some incredible pieces with a 'feminine edge' from Yves Saint Laurent, Balmain, Lanvin and more!

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.

Dark Beauty: Charlize Theron & Kristen Stewart for Interview Magazine!

There's no doubt about it, CHARLIZE THERON and KRISTEN STEWART are an unstoppable force. They may be from the opposite sides of good and bad on the big screen, as they face off as the evil queen Ravenna and the fair Snow White in Universal's "Snow White and the Huntsman", but the two are friends in real-life -- and a pair of stunning gal pals, if you ask me. Both ladies took over the fashion magazines this past month as they geared up for the June 1st release of their film, but the June/July 2012 issue of Interview Magazine gave us something we really wanted -- a devastatingly glam cover shoot with both striking femmes! In this dark and beautiful editorial lens by Mikael Jansson, Charlize and Kristen pose in the gothic-chic United Artists Theater in downtown Los Angeles wearing some of the most glamorous looks from the latest Fall 2012 collections as they brood behind sleek tresses and dark lips. Karl Templer pulled some of the most striking pieces from designers like Tom Ford, Versace, Lanvin, Christian Dior and Dries Van Noten for the ladies, and The Fashion Court appreciates his fine eye that helped create a prominent fashion palette. Because this is 'Interview' magazine, Elvis Mitchell sat down with the SWATH stars to talk about their kick-ass movie, their very broad film careers, Charlize's newest role as a mother, and tons more. It's a juicy read! But, let's take a closer look at the fashion, shall we?

JESSICA ALBA covers the June 2012 issue of Marie Claire, photographed by Tesh, where she glams up in a wide assortment of luxury dark dresses and discuses her style evolution. The mom of two has become somewhat of a fashion guide to many gals who often see the 31-year-old actress spotted wearing on-trend bright jeans, great accessories and the hottest in handbags. Are you a fan of Jessica's everyday style and red carpet look? Jessica also talks about her career and her most important role as the mother of her young daughters Honor and Haven. For the cover, Laura Ferrara styled Jessica in a sexy maroon mini dress from the Fall 2012 collection by Versus that had lacing up the side. Thankfully, the magazine showcased a profile of her and was able to capture the most important detail of this design. Inside the issue, you'll find a full editorial where the "A.C.O.D." actress poses in more Fall 2012 creations from designer labels like John Galliano, Gucci and Lanvin.

Cover Girl: Kristen Stewart for ELLE’s June Issue — She’s the Man!

KRISTEN STEWART rocks a dazzling Ralph Lauren Collection dress on ELLE Magazine 's June 2012 cover -- the U.S. Edition -- which was photographed by Tim Munro. While her name is featured in bold red text on the front cover, you can't miss the italic "Inside the Secret Life of" printed above it. This wouldn't be the first time we've seen a magazine offering a peek into the life "behind the camera" with the actress -- but ELLE delivers. Rest assured Holly Millea talked to the 22-year-old actress about her love of making movies -- but you can best believe she also got into the nitty gritty of everything to how Kristen feels growing up in the public eye, her childhood memories, and yes, her boyfriend and "Twilight" costar Robert Pattinson. As for the editorial spread -- I was floored. Creative Director Joe Zee went above and beyond to create a beautiful, intense, and cool photo shoot by styling Kristen as both a man and a woman in a dim lit French hotel room. I've always hoped that someone in fashion editorial would recognize that Kristen could effortlessly pull from her 'tomboy' and 'feminine' sides to rock both an androgynous and glamorous look -- so much so, that I've had numerous conversations with friends about her doing a shoot similar to this very one. Needless to say, I feel this was best. shoot. yet.

When it comes to being glamorous, JENNIFER LAWRENCEis twice and nice! Not only does the 21-year-old star of the upcoming film "The Hunger Games" cover the British edition of Glamour Magazine's April issue, she's taken over the US issue as well. Jennifer talked to the magazine about her decision to take on the role of the series heroine: "I gave myself three days. I knew from reading the books that I loved The Hunger Games. I just didn’t know if it was worth changing my life for. I’m at a peaceful place right now. The people who used to ignore me at parties, now they’re nice to me and kissing my ass. But nobody’s staked outside my house. I wanted to make sure that when I said yes, I wouldn’t regret it. And I don’t regret it. I would have said no because I was scared, and then I would have been that bitter actress telling my grandkids, 'I'm the one that turned it down.'" Alexei Hay photographed the brunette beauty during an outdoor shoot in Beverly Hills while wearing various Spring 2012 looks from today's hottest designers.

Cover Girl: Katie Holmes Pops Her Collar For Marie Claire

KATIE HOLMES covers the November issue of Marie Claire magazine popping her collar in red leather for what just might be my favorite editorial she's done in a very long time. You may have seen this issue floating around the internet or at your local newsstand, but I think it's due time I express my interest in the fashion frenzy that surrounded this daytime photo shoot. In the issue Katie sat down with Galt Niederhoffer, who wrote, produced and directed her in the 2010 film "The Romantics", at a Brooklyn diner to talk about the next chapter in her -- including her clothing collection and new film projects. I can't say that the cover of Katie -- clad in a red leather trench coat from the Resort 2012 Collection by Yves Saint Laurent -- is my favorite. It's kind of bland. Fortunately the shoot got more and more interesting as it went on.

Gimme Gimme Gimme: Fierce Fall 2011 Footwear

·Wednesday, October 19, 2011
·Courtney Justice

Everyone has their little fashion obsessions -- a particular item of clothing or an accessory they more of than anything else in their closet. For some, it's leather jackets or a cardigan in every color. For others it's jeans, scarves, or hats. For many -- it's shoes. You can count me in with the many because I am addicted to shoes.

When dressing I normally select my shoes and base my entire outfit around them instead of the opposite. It's something I picked up from my mother - she really does know best. I love all types of styles, but my favorite time of year for add on to my footwear collection is when those leaves start falling and people start setting out their pumpkins.

Typically I buy black boots because once I find a pair that fit really well and are comfortable to wear for long periods of time, I'll end up wearing them with everything and black tends to come in handy. That's not to say I don't love colorful or printed shoes because I have an unhealthy addicted to all things animal print, and sometimes I'll wear an "all black everything" outfit that requires a to-die-for pop of color that will brighten things up and make a bold statement.
