Iman

Take it from Diane von Furstenberg when she says, "Who better than Simon to write about glamour and eccentricity? He is both!!!!"

In a nutshell Eccentric Glamour: Creating An Insanely More Fabulous You ($16), is filled with tips and advice from eccentric style guru Simon Doonan.

A seasoned fashion mastermind with over 30 years experience in the industry, Doonan (pictured left in Lanvin pumps), offers a comical and upbeat attitude on how to create your own unique and eccentric look. The newly released book also includes one-on-one interviews with some of most coveted eccentric style icons including Iman, Lucy Liu, and Tilda Swinton.

Following in Heidi Klum's footsteps, supermodel Iman is becoming even more super — by adding jewelry and accessories to her portfolio.

Her new line, Global Chic, is inspired by African countries, India, and Bali, as well as pieces from her personal collection, including her vintage engagement ring from husband David Bowie. The line will be available HSN.com on Dec. 15.

The Olsens, the Kates, Eve, Dita, Liv, Jennifer Connelly and more came out in support of Seventh on Sale last night in NYC. The ultra all white Olsen look was an excellent contrast to many of the deep colors or all-black attires. MAC ladies, Eva and Dita went glam and gold while Jennifer and Kate went red. Once again Kate Moss makes anything look amazingly stylish. Fashion designers like MJ, DVF and Francisco Costa were also in attendance. Blake Lively lived it up like a real Gossip Girl who gets to attend events with Anna Wintour. Seems a bit more Blair-like than Serena but we're loving it!

The dinner gala took place at NYC’s 69th Regiment Armory. The event is in support of 7thonsale which is an auction on eBay or shopping in store in NYC for designer clothes and items worn by celebrities. 100% of the proceeds go to those in need of help living with HIV and AIDS. Sounds like a great cause so it's no wonder it has so many supporters.

Last night the charity events continued as Conde Nast hosted the 4th annual Black Ball concert in NYC for Keep A Child Alive. The event raised $1.5 million for AIDS-infected adults in Africa and India. As rumored, Gwen, Alicia and Sheryl all performed at the event where Bono was honored for his AIDS awareness campaigns. Conde Nast has kept Gwen super busy as she was at another event for the publishing house last night. I'm beginning to wonder if this woman ever takes a night off.

Last night, on the cusp of Fashion Week, model Alek Wek introduced her eponymous autobiography at a soiree. I've always thought she has a striking face with beautiful features and a lovely, deep complexion.

If your skin is as deep as Alek's, you already know that finding suitable makeup can be a challenge, to put it mildly. Sad to say, lots of cosmetic companies don't make foundations in appropriate shades, but others do—and because many are specifically made for women of color, they're more likely to have nuanced and flattering shades. For my makeup tips for deep complexions, read more

Once in a while a match made in the public eye prevails. Not only for their love for each other, but their style and the unique way they complement each other. For me, Hollywood marriages are such a flighting thing it's hard for me to take them seriously. Married today, divorced tomorrow is not a Fab way to live. So, I admire those power couples that stand the test of time, and do so with style.

Iman & David Bowie have been married 19 years and have a seven-year-old daughter named Alexandria Zahra Jones. Iman is a legend in the fashion world as one of the pioneer African-American models. This Somalian beauty has aged so amazingly well; she still looks stunning - not to mention stylish. David Bowie, AKA Ziggy Stardust, was a pioneer of a different sort and helped create glam rock. I am a big fan of his music and he continues to recreate himself and his look. A unique mix of androgyny and creativity, Iman & David Bowie are a testament to what makes a power couple.

The Devils Wears Prada ladies, Meryl Streep & Anne Hathaway joined Iman at the Rainbow Room in NYC this week to celebrate the 20th Annual Power Lunch for Women. CNN's Paula Zahn hosted the event. Anne once again proves she is all class. We can't get enough of her.

Tom and Katie attended The Black Ball hosted by Alicia Keys and Iman in NYC last night. The soon to be newlyweds hosted a table for $50,000 which included Tom Freston, the other Tom fired by Sumner Redstone earlier this year. That's one expensive table but it's for charity so it's all good. Page Six reports that:

TOM Cruise has a new best friend, Tom Freston. The two Toms were humiliated by Viacom chairman Sumner Redstone earlier this year when Redstone fired them both. Now they've become good pals and are showing a united front at tomorrow night's Conde Nast Black Ball at Hammerstein Ballroom hosted by Alicia Keyes and Iman. "[Cruise] bought a $50,000 table and has sat [Freston] right next to himself," said our spy. Also at the table: Graydon and Anna Carter, Vanity Fair features editor Jane Sarkin and Diane Sawyer's "GMA" producer, Marc Robertson. A rep for Cruise declined comment.

We wonder if this means that Tom Freston will be involved in the new UA that Cruise is forming. Should be an interesting pairing. As for the best dressed of the evening, Anne wins hands down. More pics of Tom and Katie and their new best friend, as well as Anne Hathaway, Iman, Elijah Wood, Valentino, Helena Christensen, Kimora and Russell Simmons looking like they are faking it, just read more
