MET Gala 2015 Elizabeth Banks: No Effie at the MET Gala I wish I loved this on Elizabeth Banks. That is, I do, on some level – the colour is perfect on her, and the cut-outs are cool while still being on trend. She looks fantastic, and the hair is fierce instead of glam, and she’s giving good face in the By Duana • May 05, 2015 07:13 am
Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, Friday April 10, 2015 It’s the first weekend of Coachella, so I’m not going to try to fight it. Instagram waits all year for this. The patron saint of Coachella, Kate Bosworth, is starting off slow with some palm trees. She’s saving the outfit shots for the paps. Justifies the freebies. By Maria • Apr 10, 2015 03:02 pm
Amazingness Pitch Perfect 2 – joy and nodes The last time a group of comely young singers came together for a musical movie sequel about a choir; it was Sister Act 2 - a movie which, no joke, has informed my friendships, my wedding, my career. And which, it goes without saying, far surpassed the kick-ass-in-its-own-right original. There By Duana • Nov 20, 2014 03:03 pm
Julianne Moore The women of Mockingjay How’s this for a great photo call and red carpet? Mockingjay is expected to be the biggest movie of the season.

Oscars 2014 Elizabeth Banks: Confounding Almost Oscar Last year around this time, after we’d chosen our best and worst dressed and were typing away, we found Elizabeth Banks at the Vanity Fair party. And she looked like this. I wished she could have been my best dressed but she didn’t attend the ceremony. Well, the By Duana • Mar 03, 2014 03:31 pm
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Elizabeth Banks’s jumpsuit Haven’t loved her Catching Fire press tour wardrobe. And I don’t totally love this jumpsuit. I would love if the embellishment didn’t run down the pants. Having said that… I am all over the way the pants are cut at the ankles to give the illusion of By Lainey • Nov 21, 2013 10:56 am
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Elizabeth Banks’s yellow dress I just…think she can do so much better than a People’s Choice Awards dress, you know? She can do SO.MUCH.BETTER. Than sateen. And ball gowns. And pageants and proms. She can wear the f-cking sh-t out of it if you give her something better. By Lainey • Nov 12, 2013 10:57 am
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Elizabeth's great shoulders What an amazing dress. Especially the shoulders. See how great the shoulders are? They balance the plain neckline. Sh-t, I’ll take a plain neckline with these shoulders all day. The shoulders are so good they make me forget about the bad hair. By Lainey • Nov 04, 2013 11:02 am
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Elizabeth’s messy dress Elizabeth Banks wore orange at the Vanity Fair Oscar party this year – click here to see -- and was the best at that event. She went with orange again at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and... well... this is a messy Roland Mouret, non? Weird too because Mouret is normally By Lainey • Apr 28, 2013 07:10 pm
Assy Hair Yellow blondes and blondes to browns Elizabeth Banks in Beverly Hills yesterday -- with brown hair now. Is this new? Must be, right? Last time I checked her at the Vanity Fair Oscar party, she was blonde. And best dressed. Still blonde and very, very yellow -- Carrie Underwood in Ireland. I have never been blonde, By Lainey • Mar 14, 2013 04:39 pm
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Elizabeth Banks’s best dress at Vanity Fair This actually ended up being Duana’s favourite dress of the night. But since Elizabeth Banks was not at the Oscars, she wasn’t a contender. It’s orange, Duana’s favourite colour. It’s McQueen, and much more memorable than what the one Amanda Seyfried chose. She would have By Lainey • Feb 26, 2013 10:22 am
Elizabeth Banks Elizabeth Banks, mommy blogger I’ve really, really liked Elizabeth Banks ever since The 40 Year Old Virgin. She’s smart and funny and a great character actress in a time when everyone is trying to be a leading lady. So I was surprised when perusing iVillage’s celebrity mom blogger section (yes, this By Maria • Jul 30, 2012 12:12 pm

Assy Style Best & Worst Met Peplum: Amy Poehler & Elizabeth Banks There were several peplums represented last night. To me Amy Poehler wore hers best. She looked the most comfortable. And really, really confident. No clunky accessories around her neck, nothing extra about the hair, although, God, I really wish they’d let it die, that skirt feathering from 2006.

LifestyleArticle Rejected Oscar dresses? Really, really hate these two dresses as seen on Jennifer Lawrence and Elizabeth Banks at the UK premiere of The Hunger Games tonight.
