Tom Ford

With Fall here, celebrities are fully embracing coats. Gwen Stefani and Jennifer Lopez have opted for black and white outerwear, while Penelope Cruz and Kim Kardashian are all about slick black leather trench coats. Penelope sported her Versace coat as a dress with black platform pumps while promoting her new flick Twice Born in Rome, while Kim also belted her black leather trench and wore it with black over-the-knee Tom Ford boots and oversize wrap Rick Owens sunglasses in London. If you want to get in on this badass celeb-approved outerwear trend, shop similar coats below. This Max Studio black leather trench coat ($398, originally $798) is our favorite — great price and quality.

Kim Kardashian's edgy ensembles have us lusting after every piece, including her latest black-on-black travel look, which she took to new heights via mirrored gold Christian Louboutin T-strap pumps. Kim styled a sheer wrap Tom Ford blouse with black ankle-zip leather pants, then upped the glam factor via a crocodile Hermès tote and plush fur coat. She completed her Miami travel style with a gold chain-link bracelet, her signature tousled locks, and a sun-kissed glow. Mimic Kim's effortless glamour with a sheer black blouse, leather leggings, metallic gold pumps, and a crocodile tote to turn heads wherever the day, or night, takes you.

It's been a while since we've seen Gisele Bündchen all dressed up, but last night the supermodel put on an all-black ensemble to celebrate Mario Testino's first-ever US exhibit in Boston. She wore a black one-shoulder Halston dress, topped with a black satin Tom Ford blazer. Classic black pointy pumps, a box clutch, and mega-shiny rhinestone earrings finished Gisele's red-carpet style. With the holidays fast approaching, consider mimicking Gisele's look by pairing your favorite little black dress with a shiny satin blazer for added pizazz. Shop similar pieces below to get started.

Tom Ford and his partner, Richard Buckley, have welcomed a son to their family, according to New York Times fashion critic Cathy Horyn.

Horyn tweeted Friday morning, "Congratulations to Tom Ford and Richard Buckley on birth of their son, Alexander John Buckley Ford!"

Ford, 51, and Buckley, 64, have been together for 26 years. In May, Ford said he and Buckley wanted to have children, but realized that they'd have to do it in the near future.

"I think I'd better get busy soon, though, because I'd like to be able to pick them up," Ford said.

Update: A birth announcement, pictured below, that was tweeted by journalist Jim Shi claims that Alexander was born on Sept. 23.

Lucky magazine is one of our favorite sources for great shopping tips. We're thrilled to share this fabulous story from our friends at Lucky!

When he first launched his namesake ready-to-wear line, Tom Ford was extremely strict about hiding his collections until each one hit stores — an intriguing but totally unrealistic policy. In this era of Instagram and Twitter feeds, nothing stays private. Paparazzi secretly photograph Duchesses naked at private villas and no young starlet can have a quiet affair. It seems that the eponymous designer has finally realized this, too. Today, for the second season in a row, he released a video lookbook with his newest creations.

In the footage below, you'll see every single Spring/Summer 2013 look from multiple angles set to pulsing drum riffs. The pieces are Ford at his sleek, simple, sexy best and would've been worth waiting for. But still, we're glad we didn't.

Jennifer Lopez and boyfriend Casper Smart flew to Paris to attend the Chanel and Valentino Spring 2013 shows, but after all the front-row action was over, the singer got red hot in this Hakaan red slitted sheath dress ($1,675). On her feet she wore black ankle-strap Tom Ford pumps, and on her arm she rocked a gold bangle and rhinestone bracelet alongside her black box clutch. If you, too, want to look on fire, then add Jennifer's exact dress to your closet now. Or, if it's too pricey for your budget, take a red sheath dress — like this one from Catherine Malandrino ($345) — and have a seamstress put a dramatic, thigh-high slit in it. Thanks to the classic color and streamlined silhouette, you can wear it for many years, and it won't go out of style.
