Royals Kate Middleton: McQueen and new photos It’s a very Kate Monday. Third post in a row about a Kate. I think this is about all I can squeeze out. But it’s a good one.

Style Anne after the Oscars It’s almost been a week. Are we over it yet? She’s getting over it. And in these photos she’s on her way, with her boyfriend Adam, to London from LAX, reasons unknown, so let me make a totally uneducated assumption and say reshoots for One Day? Maybe By Lainey • Mar 04, 2011 08:22 am
Hook Ups Blake & the billionaire There was a Chanel dinner or something last night. Blake Lively was the guest of honour. She wore an amazing white cocktail dress with amazing Louboutins. Does it make you crazy the way, um, the pronunciation of “Louboutin” has essentially been mangled? LEW-BOO-TAWN. It’s the “Tawn” part that gives By Lainey • Mar 03, 2011 06:19 am
Royals Very deep side part David Beckham played for the LA Galaxy yesterday in a friendly game against Club Tijuana. As you can see, he’s working a very deep side part. Like military hipster, I guess. Jesus he is handsome. Speaking of fascinators and the Royal Wedding, the Beckhams have apparently been invited. Fortuitously, By Lainey • Mar 03, 2011 03:17 am
Royals Fascinated with Fascinators Duana doesn’t get why I’m so into it. It’s standard head-wear at an English wedding, especially when the guest list reads of royals. Sure. I know. But I still find it fascinating, this fascinator business. Maybe because I’ve never worn one. Here are Chelsy Davy and By Lainey • Mar 02, 2011 09:15 am
Girlcrushes Oscar Best: Cate Blanchett I’m sure I’ll hear it from you on this one. But remember here that we’re talking about Cate Blanchett. Cate Blanchett doesn’t make style decisions with an eye to what someone like, say, Reese Witherspoon would wear on a carpet. In fact, she’d look at By Lainey • Feb 28, 2011 10:19 am
BFFs Oscar Conflict: Michelle Williams Written by Duana This woman gives me the conflict. She’s an actress so why can’t she pretend she likes people? If she wants real critical acclaim and the freedom to make even more, better movies, being a box-office draw is one of the clearest paths to getting that By Lainey • Feb 28, 2011 09:10 am
Hook Ups Oscar You Knew He’d Be There: Taylor Swift Thursday night she hits a hockey game with that Chord kid from Glee. Pictures everywhere. Then she cycles the pre-Oscar party circuit with her bestie Emma Stone. Last night they wing manned for each other at Vanity Fair. It was one of Swifty’s strongest dress-up outings in a long By Lainey • Feb 28, 2011 08:57 am
Style Worst Carpet-to-TV Translation: Amy Adams Written by Duana While I love Amy Adams, I will admit to being a pretty recent bandwagon jumper. I wasn’t so into it and she played such an unsympathetic character in Julie & Julia and there was the whole cutesy poo singing thing (I can hear all of you By Lainey • Feb 28, 2011 08:44 am
Style Annette Bening Written by Duana What do you suppose Annette Bening does on Oscar night? It must be a routine now, do you think? Does she have a private rant and a cry in the car and then get over herself? Does she not talk about losing the Oscar at all, and By Lainey • Feb 28, 2011 07:19 am
Maple Leaf Best Contract Fulfilment: Celine Dion Written by Duana This woman. This – woman. She is so fantastic. She is not here because these are all her lovely celebrity friends – she is here because she was invited, requested to do a job. You know what her job is? Her job is “to sing the ‘Smile’ song to By Lainey • Feb 28, 2011 04:51 am
Style Mila Kunis Written by Duana So about that dress. I stared at it for a long time. Oddly, the thing that got me wasn’t the cut but the colour, I’m generally not a fan of anything in that kind of candy-fied, pastellish hue. Anyway, as the show went on I By Lainey • Feb 28, 2011 03:36 am
Style Oscar Charcoal: Helen Mirren Duana and I just talked about Helen Mirren – she thinks it’s a big “samey”, she didn’t get “emotional” about this look the way she got emotional about Cate Blanchett’s. Didn’t we all get emotional about Cate Blanchett? We’ll get to Cate Blanchett later. That’s By Lainey • Feb 28, 2011 02:44 am
Style Best Oscar Unsung Hero: Anne Hathaway Written by Duana I have a lot of opinions, so, as always, buckle up. But first, a list of Anne’s outfits in order of how good I thought they were. Obviously these are not the technical terms. Red plastic sexy sequins – Atelier Versace Gold shakey shimmy – Oscar de la By Lainey • Feb 28, 2011 12:54 am
Style Bob-off! Written by Duana Jennifer Aniston’s oh-so talked about bob is cute and sophisticated and has the ability to make her look so fresh and reinvented. Not a moment too soon, obviously, but I think I get where she’s coming from…maybe. More on that in a second. Scarlett By Lainey • Feb 24, 2011 04:18 am
Royals Royal Duties & Fascinators Prince William and Kate Middleton were in North Wales today at the naming ceremony of the RNLI lifeboat station’s new Atlantic 85 inshore lifeboat “Hereford Endeavour”. It’s been weeks since we’ve seen the future Prince of William, or whatever they’re calling her. As you can see, By Lainey • Feb 24, 2011 03:28 am
