The Spice Girl's Union Jack dress and Elizabeth Hurley's safety pin Versace gown make a top 10 list of most iconic dresses of the past 50 years.

Nicholas Vreeland, grandson of Diana Vreeland, is a Tibetan Buddhist monk and has been helping to coordinate the Dalai Lama's visits to New York since 1991. He called his late grandmother "Nonina," and when he first shaved his head in 1979 she said to him, "Oh, Nicky. How could you have done that to me?"

Banana Republic is launching a limited-edition jewelry collection, the brand's first, with Chan Lu.

Kirsten Dunst, Kim Cattrall, and Susan Sarandon will help unveil United Nude's New York flagship store tonight at 25 Bond Street.

Love It or Hate It

United Nude Metallic Leather Pumps: Love It or Hate It?

Marc Jacobs created one strange shoe for his Spring 2008 collection, but that doesn't mean it should be translated onto the streets.

Marc Jacobs created one strange shoe for his Spring 2008 collection, but that doesn't mean it should be translated onto the streets. United Nude's Metallic Leather Pumps ($148, originally $236) have the same inverted heel as Marc's version. I would never dare walk a mile (or even an inch) in these shoes; they're unsafe and unstylish. Are you with me?

United Nude Mobius Wedge Sandal: Love It or Hate It?

Is it me or does this United Nude Mobius High Wedge Sandal, $146, have a huge cutout in its wedge heel?

Is it me or does this United Nude Mobius High Wedge Sandal, $146, have a huge cutout in its wedge heel? Talk about out of this world! I feel like the shoe is playing tricks on my eyes. I like the metallic color but the cutout is too extreme for me. What do you all think?
