Nicole Richie linked up with her fellow Fashion Star mentor John Varvatos at the H&M on Fifth Avenue in NYC last night. The duo were on hand to celebrate the first season of their show, though fellow Fashion Star personality Jessica Simpson couldn't be on hand. Jessica is awaiting the birth of her first child, a daughter, with fiancé Eric Johnson. Yesterday also brought a new installment of the program. Nicole was excited to find out what fans made of the latest developments and tweeted, "West Coast, can't wait to read your reactions to tonight's episode of Fashion Star." Nicole and John met up with her brother-in-law, DJ Josh Madden, inside the bash. Last week, Nicole and John were together as well on the West Coast. They went to Pasadena for NBC's Summer press event, where they chatted up the reality design competition even more.

Nicole Richie Joins Forces With John Varvatos to Talk Fashion Star

Nicole Richie joined her fellow Fashion Star mentor John Varvatos in Pasadena yesterday afternoon for NBC's Summer press event. The pair was on hand at The Langham hotel to promote their series, which pits aspiring designers against each other as they compete to sell their wares on the racks of Saks Fifth Avenue, H&M, and Macy's. Nicole sported a laser-cut leather top for the appearance, and while she's built a successful fashion career of her own, she recently admitted during an interview that she doesn't sew! Instead, she said, her design process always starts with a great fabric. Nicole's recent foray into TV hasn't slowed her down when it comes to style. In fact, she just released the House of Harlow and Winter Kate Fall lookbooks and, earlier this year, also launched a special collection for QVC.

Screen Style: Elle Macpherson Sparkles on the Fashion Star Stage

Sequins can be too over the top at times, especially during the day or outside the holiday season.

Sequins can be too over the top at times, especially during the day or outside the holiday season. But last night on Fashion Star, Elle Macpherson proved that sequins can totally be fashion-forward and tame. All you have to do is follow the host's lead by pairing your gold sequin top with a pair of cropped, draped trousers. The key is for the pants to be slightly baggy to counterbalance the glitz factor of the top. For a party setting, finish off with a pair of embellished sandals, like Elle did, or for more fashiony flair, wear black booties. Love Elle's Fashion Star ensemble? Shop similar pieces below.

  • Did you watch the premiere of NBC's new reality show Fashion Star last night? Apparently, some of the fashion industry people who did were none too impressed. Style bloggers Tom & Lorenzo called the entire affair "freaking American Idol with sewing machines." [Fashion ETC]

  • Legendary fashion journalist Colin McDowell says what Dior really needs is "somebody young and untested, as Yves Saint Laurent was when he took over the reins at Dior at the tender age of 21 and went on to revolutionize women's clothes." Well said. [Business of Fashion]

  • War Paint, Lindy Woodhead's book about the rivalry between cosmetics industry pioneers Helena Rubinstein and Elizabeth Arden, is being turned into a Broadway musical. It's being produced by David Stone, who won a Tony for producing Wicked, so hopes are high for a quality piece of musical theater. [The Daily Telegraph]

    You already know about Nicole Richie, Jessica Simpson, and Elle Macpherson's involvement on Fashion Star, which debuts tomorrow, but now get to know the backstage style maven, How Do I Look? host Jeannie Mai. In the past, Jeannie has styled everyone from Sarah Jessica Parker to Rose McGowan to Christina Aguilera to Demi Moore to Rosario Dawson, and now she's lending her expertise to the show. "My role is to give firsthand experience on everything that brings the show to life," Jeannie told us. To find out more about Jeannie's role and what she thinks about the judges' styles, read our chat below.




    CelebStyle: Can you give us a quick peek into what we can expect from the show?
    Jeannie Mai: One word: intensity. And, a new-born excitement for real women and the runway. Being in this business for as long as I have, the runway has always been the more "dream world" for the fashion industry. Specifically for designers, buyers, and trendsetters; the runway is much more catered towards the creative world of fashion and not so much the real world of women who think more in terms of function rather than fashion. But now, on Fashion Star, the fashion-forward trends for the runway and the ready to wear aspects that are sought after by the real woman are tied together through the mentors and through the featured stores.
