Trend Alert: A Holiday Topper

FabSugar — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 06:00:22 PST

Here's the scenario: You show up at a crowded bar, heavily male populated, and all eyes are on you - in a good way. True story. I don't know what it is, but hats can be very alluring. I think it's the combination of confidence, quirk, and sexy menswear. And the best part? You can pull one off on a bad hair day. That is why a holiday topper is in my holiday wardrobe. I usually grab my sequin beret or slouchy beanie, but I'm on the hunt for a chic black topper, like the one Penelope wore with her white Chanel suit. Top that.

Victoria Beckham Fall 2012

Brittney Stephens — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 12:10:44 PST

Victoria Beckham's Fall collection can easily be described in one word: strong. The designer offered up her usual sleek, body-conscious dresses, but this time with a decidedly utilitarian touch. The military-chic collection was sexy, without being aggressively so, and was punctuated by belted waists, elbow-length sleeves, and high, collared necklines. Her signature slim-fitting vibe was still there, as were subtle nods to her family - Victoria mused that she "was in the kitchen one day" when son Romeo ran in with his baseball uniform on. "That's what inspired those bright sporty collars on the dresses," she told the Telegraph. Also, the loose beanies "were inspired by the ones David is always wearing," and there was even a handbag named after young daughter Harper. For the first time ever, David Beckham was front row for his wife's show, looking proud and excited while seated next to Anna Wintour. Get the full breakdown of the collection below.

Trends: Colorblocking, epaulets and gold buttons, belting, canvas panels.
Colors: Black, red, cornflower, moss, khaki.
Key Piece: The bright cornflower-blue zip-back dress; the dark khaki trench coat lined with python.
Accessories: Structured satchels, baggy knit hats, lace-up, combat-style boots with chunky baseball socks.
Who Would Wear It: Blake Lively, Kate Winslet, and, of course, Victoria herself.

"Life transitions, having a baby, and going through menopause cause many women to pile on pounds," says Susan Albers, PsyD, author of But I Deserve This Chocolate!: The 50 Most Common Diet-Derailing Excuses and How to Outwit Them. "But with planning and prep, you can stay thin."

We asked top experts for their strategies to help you ward off weight creep - and even shed pounds - at these tricky stages. Solutions ahead.

Getting married

Heavier ever after? It can be the flip side of wedded bliss: "Six out of 10 of my clients come back heavier after the honeymoon," says celebrity fitness and wellness guru David Kirsch.

Health.com: 25 Diet-Busting Foods You Should Never Eat

Young newlyweds pack on an extra six to nine pounds in the five years after getting hitched compared to singletons, according to research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. And most of that gain happens in the first year of marriage.

"Couples start to mirror each other's eating habits," explains Albers. "You might be matching him calorie for calorie without realizing it."

This Is What Happens When Iggy Pop Invades a Perfume Ad

Miriam Lacey — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 12:33:49 PST

Perfume commercials are always trying to be provocative and sexy to attract consumers, but the new ads for Paco Rabane Black XS seem to be reaching out in a very different way: specifically, to glam rock fans in the early punk era. What else could possibly explain this frenetic new ad, which has everything a young David Bowie could want: Iggy Pop sensuously wrapping himself in an American flag, models licking a Damien Hirst-y jewel-encrusted skull, a couple writhing in money like a pair of proto-punk Scrooge McDucks, etc. It's as if someone turned Velvet Goldmine into a perfume.

As big fans of Mr. Stardust and his spiders from Mars, the campy elements of the ad are pretty appealing to us. But given the otherwise small overlap between perfumistas and '70s-rock aficionados, this spot seems pretty niche indeed. Still, it's always nice to see Iggy, and maybe now, with a perfume campaign under his belt, he can finally fulfill his beauty destiny by starting a hair care line.

Kiefer Sutherland Talks About Coming Back to TV For New Drama Touch

Shannon Vestal — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 13:28:59 PST

It's Fox's turn today to show off its new shows at the Winter TCA, and the first panel featured a Fox alum we can't wait to see more of: Kiefer Sutherland. The star is headlining new drama Touch, as a man whose son has the ability to see hidden patterns that connect people all over the world. The mystical-sounding series is from Heroes creator Tim Kring, and he, Sutherland, and the other stars of the series talked about Sutherland's 24 legacy and what we can expect from Touch.

Sutherland insisted that though his new character is very different from Jack Bauer, he didn't choose Touch to distance himself from 24, but did call it a "a nice diversion" from the series. He said that when he first got a call about doing the show, he was performing in a play, and wasn't interested at first because he wanted more time apart from 24. When he read the script, though, "it spoke to me on a really profound level."
Sutherland's character Martin Bohm isn't like Jack Bauer, he says, and the focus is more about Martin being a father to his autistic, gifted son. But Sutherland does see a parallel between Bohm and Bauer: imperfection. "Jack Bauer was asked to save the day and there was always going to be casualties . . . it was never going to the perfect win." Of Bohm, he's "never going to have a perfect relationship with his son."
The other star of the show is David Mazouz, the young actor who plays Martin's son Jake (if you're a fan of The Office, you'll recognize him as Robert California's son). The character, who "sees" patterns through numbers and other sensations, has an acting challenge in that he doesn't actually talk. But Mazouz said, "I don't think Jake needs to speak, because he does communicate through his father, through his numbers." Executive producer Francis Lawrence praised Mazouz for his work on the character, saying, "David really worked on mannerisms, posture, the way he holds himself."
Sutherland assured reporters that his commitment to Touch doesn't preclude him from doing a 24 movie. He didn't have many details on the movie itself, but he did reveal that they'll hopefully begin shooting at the end of April or the beginning of May.

The 5 Funniest Quotes From the Stars of NBC's New Comedy Bent

Shannon Vestal — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 17:04:44 PST

NBC's new series Bent took its turn at the Winter TCA today to give reporters more insight into the show, which is about a mildly uptight woman (Amanda Peet) who hires a laid-back contractor (David Walton) to redecorate her kitchen. Though the show is all about the sexual tension between those two characters, the cast, which also includes Jeffrey Tambor and J.B. Smoove, proved just how funny the show might be by delivering nonstop quips as they answered questions about the series. Check out my five favorite quotes below.

"Are you asking me if I'm a pot-smoking gambling addict?" - Walton, reacting to a reporter's question of how much he's like his character Pete
"I don't have a relationship on the show. Which is fine because I'm 10 years old." - Joey King, who plays Peet's daughter, commenting on the show's focus on relationships
"Joey's a scene-stealer. And she's to be removed from this cast." - Tambor, joking about young cast mate Joey King
"[He's a] crazy genius combo of being really funny and really gorgeous . . . and kind of a dork." - Peet, giving love interest Walton a compliment that started high and went a little south
"He's an out of work actor. So I relate." - Tambor, describing his character Walt and why he wanted to play him
