The Independent Spirit awards are probably in my top three favorite red carpets in terms of lurking on style (the other two are of course the Met Gala and the MTV VMAs where everyone goes crazy bananas). This year’s red carpet was no exception, boasting more laid-back and more out there fashion than most of… More »

The NME Awards are kind of like the smaller, more R-Rated version of the MTV Video Music Awards, with way less Bieber and way more stuff like smoking on the red carpet and Johnny Marr. The fashion is no less awesome though, and both the slews of British pop stars about to break, like Charli… More »

I imagine getting dressed for any sort of fancy red carpet awards show is pretty stressful (imagine being the key word here as I have certainly never been invited to such a thing) but when awards show is thrown by a fashion magazine and has the word “Style” in the name (like the Elle Style… More »

Usually when something is called a gala, people get super dressed up in fancy pretty clothes that are fun to look it. Sometimes when a thing is called a gala, it is an apple, a village in Tibet, an Italian pop singer, or a planet in Star Wars Expanded Universe. Fortunately for us, this Michael… More »

So I have a lot of black jackets. Some are big, some are certainly little, but none are the kind Karl Lagerfeld would want to photograph, which is probably why I was not featured in Chanel’s new book, The Little Black Jacket. Many other people with presumably nicer jackets were however, including Elizabeth Olsen and… More »

No one has ever said Chanel doesn’t know how to throw a party. Okay, maybe someone has said it, but that person was most definitely lying and should never be trusted again. Uncle Karl and co. feted the latest collection of Chanel fine jewelry (and the 80th anniversary of the house’s haute joaillerie) in true… More »

As much as Paris Fashion Week is about all the best of French designers debuting their Spring 2013 collections, it’s also about one thousand celebrities coming out to celebrate these designers, all while dressed to the nines themselves. This fashion week, celebs ranging from Emma Stone to Chloe Sevigny to Sky Ferreira came out to… More »

Weirdly I was not invited to the Chanel show this season (or any other season ever) but had I been, you bet your bottom dollar I would have dressed AWESOME. Because it’s CHANEL. Karl Lagerfeld runs a tight ship over there, and he likes his guests (and lucky, lucky Chanel amabassadors, who as far as… More »

But let’s not dwell on the fact that my best fashion years are likely behind me. Let’s discuss Young Hollywood, and what the likes of Lucy Hale, Nikki Reed, and Victoria Justice wore to Teen… More »

Of all the shows at London Fashion Week, I would argue that Henry Holland’s punky, fashion-forward collection is the coolest. It goes to reason then that Holland’s show would draw the coolest crowd: which means most of London’s It-girls attended on Sept 15: including Alexa Chung, Pixie Geldof, and Kelly Osbourne.

This fashion week, celebs ranging from Kelly Osbourne to Kirsten Dunst to Alexa Chung came out… More »

The Do Something awards honor some of the greatest folks on this planet: young people under the age of 25 who are making a difference with their world-changing work.

Now that Comic-Con is pretty much just Everything-Con (what does Glee have to do with comics?), a lot more celebrities are prancing around the convention amongst the Sailor Moons and Quail Mans and Last Airbenders. Unfortunately they’re usually in normal people clothes, not wings and thigh-high boots and helmets, which sucks, but alas, what can… More »

From what I can tell, the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic is a super fancy sporting event where fancy people go to watch other people ride horses while trying to put a little ball in a hole with a wooden mallet. Fancy! The fashion at these things seems to be mostly swishy dresses sweet-heart and floppy… More »
