See All 3 of Wes Anderson's Quirky-Cool Prada Candy L'Eau Shorts

When a sparkling gourmand fragrance is set to be launched, as is the case with Prada's new Candy L'Eau, it makes sense that director Wes Anderson, known for his quirky-cool aesthetic, would be involved. This week, the Internet has been abuzz with delight thanks to the premieres of three Anderson-directed shorts dubbed Prada Candy L'Eau. Codirected by Roman Coppola, the films star French actress Léa Seydoux of Midnight in Paris and Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol fame. We're promised "a real tale in three episodes that encompasses Candy as the most sparkling and unexpected character," and that's just what we get.

As you would expect, the series has the perfect amount of eccentricity woven throughout, with a hint of sweet and sassy thrown in for good measure. And as with any Wes Anderson film, no detail goes unnoticed, from Seydoux's nail polish choices — Essie's Flawless is featured prominently in episode one — down to her unabashed taste for sweets. Prada Candy L'Eau, a playful, seductive scent, includes notes of Italian citruses, sweet pea, benzoin, white musk, and caramel. Look for it out next month in stores, and now, take a look at Anderson's charming foray into beauty.

See Every Stunning Moment From the Oz Promo Tour

Oz the Great and Powerful is out today in theaters, but the red-carpet (or should we say, yellow brick road) glamour leading up to the film's premiere actually started weeks ago.

Oz the Great and Powerful is out today in theaters, but the red-carpet (or should we say, yellow brick road) glamour leading up to the film's premiere actually started weeks ago. To promote the film, Michelle Williams, Mila Kunis, and Rachel Weisz traveled around the world — Moscow, Tokyo, London, and Los Angeles, to be exact — bringing their individual brand of glamour to each city for the movie's debut. From understated Michael Kors and statement-making Lanvin to peacock-feathered Burberry and one sexy formfitting Atelier Versace number, these starlets certainly turned up the evening elegance tenfold for Oz.

Anne Hathaway Triples Her Oscars Glamour — Which Gown Gets Your Vote?

We were treated to not just one, but three gorgeous looks from Anne Hathaway on Oscars night.

We were treated to not just one, but three gorgeous looks from Anne Hathaway on Oscars night. Not only did Hathaway take home the win for best supporting actress, she also performed on stage and managed to hit up an afterparty, giving us three different takes on award-night dressing. For her first look, Hathaway hit the prestigious red carpet wearing a pale pink Prada gown — complete with a bow-detailed cutout back — paired with a radiant Tiffany & Co. diamond necklace. For her Les Misérables performance, Hathaway changed into a nude-hued embellished custom Giorgio Armani gown, and later into the night, she donned a custom light-blue silk Saint Laurent column gown for the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty. Now it's time to pick favorites — which gown gets your vote?

Oscars: Anne Hathaway

Best supporting actress nominee Anne Hathaway chose a pale pink Prada number — complete with a bow-detailed cutout back and Tiffany & Co.

Best supporting actress nominee Anne Hathaway chose a pale pink Prada number — complete with a bow-detailed cutout back and Tiffany & Co. necklace — giving way to a sexier kind of princess moment. Or as Hathaway described it, "It's business in the front, party in the back." The somewhat revealing pick rounds out an award season's worth of memorable numbers, including gowns from Chanel Couture, Burberry, and Oscar de la Renta. To finish, she paired her dress with silver strappy sandals. As for her Les Misérables pixie cut? She went with a simple, albeit chic, sideswept style. How did she do?

For tonight's festivities, Kerry Washington went with a Miu Miu strapless coral gown that proved playful and elegant. But it wasn't just a bold color that made her stand out; her dress was covered with paillettes and Swarovski crystals, then finished with a sweet bow belt. The Django Unchained actress completed her colorful red-carpet ensemble with a red satin Prada clutch and Chopard yellow diamond earrings. Thoughts?

Prada Fall 2013

After seasons of bringing her customers conceptual, highly themed collections, Miuccia Prada's Fall 2013 show took a sharp turn to focus on things she simply likes.

After seasons of bringing her customers conceptual, highly themed collections, Miuccia Prada's Fall 2013 show took a sharp turn to focus on things she simply likes. Prada likes fur, and so there was fur. Prada likes a cinched-in and belted waist, and so there were cinched-in and belted waists. And Prada loves an interesting skirt (she said as much in the Met's Impossible Conversations exhibit), so of course the skirts were decorated with sparkly flowers or finished with asymmetrical hems — or both.

If those hemlines felt a little undone, so did the models' hair: Prada tasked her stylists with making her girls look like their hair was wet, and some of them wore their dresses, whether cut from wool or brightly colored Vichy checks, off the shoulder. Letting go, ever so slightly, of the laser-focused precision of the past few seasons is just one of the things that makes this collection approachable, wearable, and elegant.

Prada Fall 2013 Runway

Miuccia Prada went down a darker avenue for Prada's Fall 2013 collection, showcasing asymmetrical skirts, off-the-shoulder dresses layered with haphazard knit tops, and structured coats displaying luxurious fur details. The mood was ladylike (and much more wearable compared to her Spring '13 collection), with an undone twist as models walked down the runway with wet, slicked hair, donning leather skirts with slouchy sweaters and gorgeous fur coats, some of which were paired with thick-soled loafers or metallic ankle strap platform sandals. Checkered coats were casually worn off the shoulders, and the same styling effect was used with most of Prada's stunning striped tweed dresses and easy knit tops. But it wasn't all about this careless attitude; the designer also offered up a range of perfectly tailored skirtsuits made out of jewel-toned tweeds and featuring nipped-in waistlines with bold leather belts to temper her effortlessly chic vibe.

Don't Mess With the Women of Prada's Spring 2013 Video

Turns out those flowers in Prada's Spring 2013 collection weren't just for decoration.

Turns out those flowers in Prada's Spring 2013 collection weren't just for decoration. The narrative of the brand's newest campaign video treats the blooms like beautiful, powerful women that shouldn't be messed with.

The short film, called Ten Women, stars a full bouquet of models including Eva Herzigova, Irene Hiemstra, Irina Kravchenko, Kirsten Owen, Maartje Verhoef, Raquel Zimmermann, Sasha Pivovarova, Saskia de Brauw, Sung Hee Kim, and Vanessa Axente. Each of the women poses languidly for the camera while a voice-over describes attributes of some of the flowers. "Tiger lily," it says as Kravchenko stares directly into the camera. "Handle with care."

Steven Meisel directed the video, which is set to musician Moondog's "Stamping Ground." The song's militant drum line ads a quickening sense of purpose to a video that's feminist, unsettling, and beautiful to look at all at once.
