Style The Costume Institute Gala 2011 Before we begin blogging the Met Gala and the photos... It’s the Met Gala. So... there’s some license here on the edge if you want it. Drama is good. Weird could be good too. Remember it’s not the Oscars and Los Angeles. It’s New York. And By Lainey • May 03, 2011 01:00 am

Style Sexy boyfriend jeans Boyfriend jeans are for you. You wear them for you. I wear mine for me. Because they can work for trend and for comfort. With the right belt, and footwear, if the hair is all messy and styled well, it’s the rare look that can hit both spots. For By Lainey • Apr 26, 2011 09:01 am
Style Oh Dame! Katherine Heigl only wishes… The premiere of Arthur went down tonight in London. And while Katy Perry wore a flesh coloured tight dress and showed off her 25 year old body, the real woman of the evening was, no question, hands down, the Dame herself, Helen Mirren. Please. Enjoy this. By Lainey • Apr 19, 2011 09:33 am
Style Is this your Effie? THR is reporting that Elizabeth Banks is in talks to play Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games. Must discuss this during the liveblog. I can see what they’re going for in the sense that Effie is the ultimate packager from the Capitol. In that spirit, Effie is totally Hollywood. By Lainey • Apr 19, 2011 04:46 am
Bad Style Coachella runway, bathrooms, and Peeta Vanessa Hudgens seemed to be more into her wardrobe than the music this weekend at Coachella though I suppose she’s not the only one who priorities the clothes over the artists.

Style Tom’s new suede shoes Or heels? They’re so clever these days with the hidden lift technology, you really can’t tell.

Katie’s been By Lainey • Apr 13, 2011 05:34 am
Style Emma Stone: Blonde + Fuchsia I’ve always found “fuchsia” a tricky word. To me the s should come before the c. Like “fuschia”. So when I spell it, I have to remind myself that the correct way is the way that looks totally off. Fuchsia. Anyway, here’s Emma Stone last night at the By Lainey • Apr 13, 2011 04:41 am
BFFs Gwyneth cooks, Cameron’s ass, Chris runs Next week, Gwyneth Paltrow will not sing Adele as well as Adele on Glee. This week she’s pimping her new cookbook in New York.

Style Annie on the carpet wearing glasses If there’s anything I would change about myself, in an instant, it would be my eyesight. I desperately want laser eye correction. Duana’s had it for years. So jealous. F-cking hate contact lenses. Sh-t gets in there all the time, and it’s a goddamn pain in the By Lainey • Apr 11, 2011 05:17 am
Bad Style Robin, Evan, James Robin Wright, James McAvoy, and Evan Rachel Wood were in Washington, DC yesterday for the premiere of The Conspirator at Ford’s Theatre. The film is about Lincoln’s assassination and the only female co-conspirator (played by Wright) charged with plotting the President’s murder. Robin, I think, is one By Lainey • Apr 11, 2011 03:59 am
Gorgessity Saoirse’s blue shoes Saoirse Ronan was in New York yesterday promoting Hanna. As I noted yesterday in the Cate Blanchett post, Hanna opens on Friday and you’re totally seeing it, right? The star of course of Hanna is Saoirse. And Saoirse’s performance is so impressive, she had Lionsgate on pause on By Lainey • Apr 07, 2011 04:44 am
Style Nicole Richie: The Block & Training The Block magazine in Canada has a great shoot featuring Nicole Richie on newsstands across the country now. LOVE this image of her in Burberry Prorsum.

Bad Style Flying in leather pants Fergie showed up at LAX yesterday in leather pants this providing me with another installment of the ongoing series How Celebrities Travel.

Style Brad Pitt’s great bob The Jolie is off on a humanitarian mission. Brad Pitt then is back in LA looking after their children. He apparently took them to the movies the other day, and last night he went out for dinner with a friend (man). This is one of those rare occasions when Brad’ By Lainey • Apr 05, 2011 04:32 am
Bad Style Blake getting meangirled at Chanel? I’m not trying to diminish her accomplishment but it felt like they were doling out these CinemaCon “Star of Tomorrow” Awards like those snap-snap topless cards constantly distributed on the Strip. If you’ve been to Vegas, you know what I mean. What is that all about anyway? Anyway… By Lainey • Apr 01, 2011 06:51 am
