Just finished reading the new issue of GOOP. As is normally the case, it’s a good one, because it’s not about food and/or babies. The style GOOPs are usually the best. And this one is about style. Upcoming style. Interviews with “tastemakers” about personal style and what’s ahead. Full Story
Oscars Worst Dressed: Amy Adams

Did you love this? The only person I saw who loved this was the Oscar PR girl on Twitter, and um, she has a vested interest. Not only has this dress been DONE – on Penelope Cruz, on J. Lo, on Tina Fey -- but in this washed out colour, I’m just not interested. I didn’t think it looked princessy and wonderful, I thought it looked dour, draggy-down, and boring. Full Story
Worst Oscar Taffeta: Jennifer Aniston

I hate red. I hate taffeta. Taffeta and red is like watching Big Bang Theory and Two And A Half Men back to back. It’s sh-t + sh-t, don’t care if it’s Valentino. And Jennifer Aniston chose to wear it last night at the Oscars. Look, credit to her for not wearing black again. But …that’s it. Full Story
Worst Oscar Space Case: Amanda Seyfried
BROWN /KLAMAR /Merritt /Harrison /Djansezian /Buckner /Winter /Getty Images
Amanda Seyfried actually kind of makes me laugh at the best of times, and though I thought the Jimmy Kimmel piece was really overdone, I did like the part where she broke it down dancing in Cosette’s clothes. She’s harmless, she’s entertaining at times, she’s pretty cute. My issue with Amanda at this point is mostly that I wish she cared about herself a bit more. Full Story
Worst Oscar Tank Dress: Nicole Kidman

As mentioned earlier in the Renee Zellweger article, there were some sparkly tank dresses happening last night. They have to be sparkly. Unless you’re Jennifer Lawrence in red at 19, they have to be sparkly because a tank dress is essentially, by style standards, LAZY. Full Story
Worst Oscar Hair Date: Hugh Jackman & Deborra Lee-Furness

I feel like an asshole. It takes an asshole to not throw anything but love towards Hugh Jackman. But that ponytail. Do we just ignore the ponytail? We first saw the ponytail in the etalk control room while watching the pool feed during arrivals and…well… it was a collective groan. Because no one wants to sh-t on Hugh or near him. Full Story
Worst Oscar Bow: Reese Witherspoon

At first when I saw this dress on Reese, I was more than willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. In fact, my notes say “This is more interesting than I expected it to be”. That’s because, when I first saw it on the carpet, there was a black bodice with a teal skirt wrapped around it. Full Story
Oscars Most Creased: Helen Hunt

Good for her about H&M because it’s an environmental initiative. Which…explains why her dress looked so cheap. Because it was. It’s basically what you wear to work. And you get out of the car and, oh sh-t, your blazer is already lined across the back. That’s how they keep the costs down. Full Story
Worst Oscar Spaz: Renee Zellweger

Renee Zellweger went back to her favourite, Carolina Herrera, to present at the Oscars. It was one of several “tank” style dresses with gold accents that we saw on the night -- including Catherine Zeta-Jones, with whom she presented. It didn’t work for Zeta and it doesn’t work for Renee. Full Story
Katie's jumpsuit start

What did I say yesterday?!? In my last post on Thursday I noted that Katie Holmes was out of New York, presumably to do some work on the Oscar circuit as the ex Mrs Tom Cruise, pleading specifically for her NOT to show up wearing her own sh-t. Check out Katie last night...in that f-cking black jumpsuit she designed, and that she's worn on a couple of occasions already. Full Story
Johnny's with the band
Here's Johnny Depp arriving at the Late Show today. I count 3 necklaces -- only?! Or are there more hidding underneath all that other business? Must be. Johnny's there to perform with Bill Carter and The Blame. There's supposed to be an interview too which, as he's not promoting a film (Lone Ranger's not due for a while), I'm wondering if Letterman insisted on it. Full Story
Spring Breakers Style Hierarchy
Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson, and Rachel Korine have been promoting Spring Breakers all across Europe. Gomez, obviously, is the highest ranked player in the group. And you can tell by the styling. She’s been dressed in Gucci, Versace, several top end labels through this tour. Full Story
Pre-Oscar Gingers
Both Nicole Kidman and Jessica Chastain will present at the Oscars. Chastain, as you know, is also nominated for Best Actress, up against Jennifer Lawrence and Emmanuelle Riva. Both Kidman and Chastain were out this weekend. Here’s Chastain at the Writers Guild Awards in pale Dior which. Full Story
Happy Valentine’s, Bear

JLO and Slum Bear hit up the Topshop party last night in West Hollywood. The dress isn’t very flattering but it’s better from the back. Hideous shoes though. Did you see earlier this week that Brahim Zaibat was featured in the new VMan? Click here Full Story
