I Want This Wardrobe: What Happens in Vegas, Hotties

Is there anything hotter than a little Diane von Furstenberg hot-pink mini dress?

Is there anything hotter than a little Diane von Furstenberg hot-pink mini dress? If you've got the gams and the guts to pull one off, I say do it! What Happens in Vegas may be a fictional story, but when it comes to real life and fashion I say live it up. For something more cool-girl rock 'n' roll, Lake Bell's character opted for a studded LBD and slouchy grey boots. There's something here for the party girl and her wild-child friend — which one is more you?

I hope you enjoyed all my I Want This Wardrobe: What Happens in Vegas stories!

Sex and the City Style, Season 3

You didn't think that was all the Sex and the City style from season three did you?
Sex and the City Style, Season 3

You didn't think that was all the Sex and the City style from season three did you? Pshht. Season three was not only one of the most turbulent of seasons, it was also one of the most fashionable. Did anyone else notice Carrie always dressed a bit more sophisticated for Big than Aidan? She was more casual and funky for Aidan. I like both styles for both men. One thing I really want to find before I die: Carrie's purple sequin Fendi baguette. Yes, the one that was stolen. Are you out there my pretty?

Trend Alert: Fancy Shorts

A long time ago I inquired about your interest in shorts.

A long time ago I inquired about your interest in shorts. I have always liked the slightly sporty, casual look they bring, but lately I've been noticing fancy shorts; shorts that come out at night and are made of fine fabrics like silk and have details like cuffs and drawstrings. My friends, the short has proven to be sexy — who better to prove it us than Karolina Kurkova in her silky, slinky Marc Jacobs ensemble.

2008 Cannes Film Festival: Cate Blanchett

Cate Blanchett sure looked different from her Indiana Jones character at the premiere at Cannes Film Festival.

Cate Blanchett sure looked different from her Indiana Jones character at the premiere at Cannes Film Festival. In fact, she radiated in her Armani Privé tiered gown. It goes without saying that I appreciate Cate's ability to effortlessly throw on a beaded Chopard necklace over a fancy frock. Do you appreciate this look?

Celebrity Style: Amber Valetta

I always look forward to seeing veteran models on the red carpet, especially when they have enviably effortless style.

I always look forward to seeing veteran models on the red carpet, especially when they have enviably effortless style. Amber Valetta attended Fashion For Life 2008 in a strapless metallic bronze dress, accessorized with a gold box clutch, strappy sandals, and bangles. It's an unfussy and elegant look that can easily be imitated even in a different color palette.

Calista Flockhart was glowing as she stood next to her beau, Harrison Ford, at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival. Her silky blue, one-shouldered gown enhanced her beautiful, graceful stature and j'adore the bold splashes of black. What do you think of Calista's red-carpet look?

Fab Flash: Marc Jacobs = Andy Warhol

In the June/July double issue of Interview magazine, a modern-day marvel imitates a pop culture legend.

In the June/July double issue of Interview magazine, a modern-day marvel imitates a pop culture legend.

Marc Jacobs appears on the cover of the magazine, which is an ode to the pop artist whose 80th birthday would have been in August. With a platinum wig atop his head, the fashion designer is being compared to the eccentric artist; they both cross bred art and commerce, they have a knack for creating playground-like retail stores and look to other artists for inspiration and collaboration. When asked of the comparison Marc stated "I don't think of myself that way," he said. "Warhol is Warhol. He's practically a god. I thought, 'I'm going to get a lot of hell for this.'"

Whether he gets flak for the cover or not, the photo — the work of Mikael Jansson — will also imprint T-shirts and tote bags to display in the windows of the designer's Bleecker Street store. And it all comes full circle: Proceeds from the Marc/Warhol garb will benefit the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh.
