BFFs One of Testino’s favourites Kate Winslet doesn’t go out every night in New York. Hardly. But she stepped out last night to honour Mario Testino at the El Museo Del Barrio Gala.

Girly Throw Downs It’s Cheryl...vs Posh? Simon Cowell wanted her. And she was negotiating for a while with Fox, but today it’s been confirmed: Cheryl Cole is a judge on US X Factor.

Style Met Gala Preview: the Royal McQueen As noted in the open, the Costume Institute Gala goes down tonight and it’s a tribute to the late Lee McQueen and his label Alexander McQueen. Great timing.

Girly Throw Downs Anna’s biggest mistake The Wall Street Journal just profiled Anna Wintour. Or, more accurately, Anna Wintour’s power. If you’re into it, and you know I am, there are some fascinating anecdotes. I particularly like the one about Renee Zellweger, how Anna “closely managed her image”, which totally explains the hard posing, By Lainey • Mar 24, 2011 03:43 am
Style Celebrating Blake Lively Last week it was a Chanel dinner in New York. This weekend there was a Chanel dinner in her honour in Paris. During Fashion Week. I mean… It’s a big f-cking deal. Even Anna Wintour showed up for Blake Lively. And Florence Welch. And so many other important French By Lainey • Mar 07, 2011 04:47 am
Royals Kate Middleton or Anna Wintour Victoria Beckham has been in New York the last few days presenting her latest collection to the people who matter. Clever bitch that she is, she also let it drop that in addition to all the other famous people who’ve worn her designs (Drew Barrymore, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cameron Diaz, By Lainey • Feb 15, 2011 04:02 am
Dumbass Not Daisy It’s not like Blake Lively wasn’t given a fair chance. She was probably given an UNfair chance. After all, in comparison to the other actors being considered for the role – Knightley, Portman, Mulligan, Hall, Johansson – how, really, has she demonstrated she’s even in their league? But Anna By Lainey • Nov 16, 2010 03:30 am
BFFs Posh’s consolation prize: Anna Wintour’s carrot She’s currently living through yet another cheating scandal and even if it’s a fraud, as they are so indignantly claiming, it doesn’t make it any less embarrassing, especially since the new alleged incident is bringing up memories of the old Loos incident. Remember when she used her By Lainey • Sep 27, 2010 08:36 am
BFFs Bill > Blake Any time, right? Love these photos so much. Of Anna Wintour in London yesterday for fashion week, at the Nicole Farhi show, seated beside not boring Blake Lively but the impossibly charismatic Bill Nighy, and because of him actually managed an (almost) genuine smile. Am now obsessed with the picture By Lainey • Sep 21, 2010 03:23 am
BFFs The seat of honour… Belongs to Blake Lively. So she’s losing out on a movie role to Natalie Portman. Last night though she still owned the most coveted spot in style at Fashion’s Night Out next to her bff Anna Wintour. How many bitches would take a pair of scissors to her By Lainey • Sep 08, 2010 07:08 am
Girly Throw Downs Rubbing it in Posh’s face Oh well now this is just cruel. So you know Blake Lively has covered US Vogue twice. And you know Victoria Beckham has covered US Vogue never. Because Anna Wintour loves one and hates the other. Now Blake is covering UK Marie Claire. And in the interview, Blake boasts about By Lainey • Sep 03, 2010 04:26 am
Girly Throw Downs Girl Sh-t in Paris Girl sh-t is the best sh-t. Does it get better in Paris? Michelle, Duana, and I have had stupid schedules the last several months which have f-cked our Gossip Girl chats. But we were all going meh on the show anyway. Michelle however sent this over yesterday wondering if it By Lainey • Jul 09, 2010 03:25 am
Gorgessity GOOP gets Vogue Anna Wintour loves Gwyneth Paltrow. And she doesn’t give a sh-t if Gwyneth Paltrow doesn’t sell. She keeps putting my G on the cover year after year. G is Anna’s kind of girl. And G has landed yet another Vogue – August 2010 – but this time Gwyneth is By Lainey • Jul 08, 2010 06:01 am
Gossip Girl Boring Blake is important in Paris Don’t delude yourself into thinking that Hollywood has substance. Hollywood is, and will always be, a looks-based industry. That’s the answer to Why Is Blake Lively. Because, if you’ve spent any time at all watching Gossip Girl, you know it’s certainly not about talent. But it By Lainey • Jul 06, 2010 04:37 am
Amazingness Anna like Mimi? As you know, Mariah Carey is barely capable of walking and standing up by herself. If she could, she would go through life being carried everywhere. On several occasions she’s made this happen. One of my favourite stories of all time is when Mimi was attending some kind of By Lainey • Jun 21, 2010 04:59 am
Style Front Row Sunglasses Marc Jacobs said recently that he was done with celebrities at his shows. It used to be that Marc’s shows offered the best front rows.
