Met Gala: Lea Michele

Chi Diem Chau — Mon, 07 May 2012 19:03:29 PDT

Lea Michele dazzled on the red carpet in a navy sequined Diane von Furstenberg dress and matching clutch, Christian Louboutin shoes, and Lorraine Schwartz earrings. The result? An utterly sophisticated Old Hollywood ensemble that was simultaneously glamorous and mysterious. We love her wavy, tousled updo, highlighting stunning jeweled earrings and a delicate silver fringed pendant necklace. What's your take on her ravishing ensemble?

Gwyneth Helps Kick Off The Conversation With Amanda de Cadenet

Molly Goodson — Mon, 07 May 2012 06:30:09 PDT

Gwyneth Paltrow shared a laugh with her friend Amanda de Cadenet at a launch party for her new show The Conversation in NYC on Sunday. Diane von Furstenberg played host for the evening, throwing the star-studded bash at her studio. Other celebrity attendees included Diane Kruger, Rashida Jones, and Malin Akerman. Amanda was feted by some of her other A-list friends like Demi Moore and Rachel Zoe at another kickoff event in LA earlier last month.

Amanda has been able to get many of these big names to stop by her show for intimate chats already and TrèsSugar recently talked to her about the project. She says The Conversation With Amanda de Cadenet is for "women's women" and she revealed that the area some of her subjects are most wary to talk about is their relationships. In fact, at the soiree when asked if she could interview anyone, who would it be, Gwyneth replied, "My husband. It would be really cool. I'd ask him a bunch of questions."

Interview: Amanda de Cadenet on Loving "Women's Women" Jane Fonda, Gwyneth Paltrow, and More

Tara Block — Thu, 03 May 2012 09:20:00 PDT

We explained why we love photographer and British TV personality Amanda de Cadenet and her new show The Conversation, and tonight is the second episode!

We chatted with the motorcycle-riding mom of three (who's married to a rocker, no less) about everything from sex positions to The Bachelor to the benefits of marriage, but what Amanda's really passionate about is the plight of today's women. On her new Lifetime show The Conversation, Amanda gets into some heavy topics with famous women like Jane Fonda, Kelly Preston, Zoe Saldana, Sarah Silverman, and Gwyneth Paltrow. And she couldn't help but gush about her ladies, who she says are "truly women's women," in addition to opening up about how our sex as a whole needs to start sticking together. Here's what she said:

TrèsSugar: What did you learn from doing these interviews?
Amanda de Cadenet: That women globally are addressing very similar issues in their lives, and that we're not actually that different. I've met so many good people, and that was really the overwhelming feeling: Wow, there are some good people on the planet.

TS: What part of a woman's life do you think we're most scared to talk about?
AC: I would say people have a lot of shame about their relationships. Most women who I know have stayed in a less-than ideal relationship for way too long, and they get embarrassed to say, "Yeah I'm still with this person because I just can't leave."

Or people are uncomfortable saying, "I hate the way my body looks." It's just not PC to be down on your body these days, but the truth is that most of us are. So I love that my ladies are very outspoken about their bodies and how they feel about them. There's been this kind of picture painted, a standard that's been set, by whom I don't really know, that to be a woman who's having a successful life you have to be OK with your body, be earning enough money, be in a relationship. If you're a woman of a certain age you're supposed to have children. You're supposed to be conforming to society's idea of what it means to be a successful woman. None of us are, by the way. And that's part of what The Conversation is about: Who created this notion of what it means to be a woman on the planet? Because none of us are living up to it. And the reality is what we're actually talking about on the show, which is that no one's doing it perfectly. We're all doing the best we can do. And Jane Fonda at 73 says, "I'm finally whole." Gives us all permission to be human, right?

OnSugar Blog: Did You DVF?

OnSugar Blog — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 03:16:19 PDT

Lots of moms like to think out loud, and MiaFT is one of them. Here is one of the latest posts to her Baby Love blog.

I have to admit, I did it. I bought Audrey a wrap dress from the Diane von Furstenburg for Baby Gap collection. I mean, how could I not? I actually don't usually spend that much on a dress for her unless it is for a holiday. I try to spend a max of $30 on any items for her everyday wardrobe. But I think she will end up wearing this to a party, so I can make an exception! Plus I'm sure she'll wear it again and again. It's a great item for her Spring/Summer wardrobe. And I just think that it is darling to have a mini wrap dress for a toddler. I can't wait to put it on her! I'll be sure to share pictures!!

Alyson Hannigan, Tiffani Thiessen, Jessica Capshaw, Milla Jovovich, and an expectant Molly Sims joined Diane von Furstenberg for a sneak peek at the baby wrap dresses, printed onesies, and mini sunglasses, all featuring iconic DVF patterns.

Get the Look: Diane von Furstenberg’s Stylish Manhattan Penthouse

Diane von Furstenberg’s live/work space, featured in Architectural Digest's March issue, is just as you might expect: exuberant, sexy, and perfectly sophisticated. The penthouse sits atop a six-story, 35,000-square-foot zone, which includes Von Furstenberg’s design studio and flagship store. Inside, a bright chartreuse sofa takes center stage under an oversize portrait of the iconic designer. Zebra and leopard prints are boldly mixed, but are tamed with sleek, modern furniture. Sculptural accessories and colorful vases, filled with orchids in the same vibrant shade as the sofa, are sprinkled throughout the room. The result is a stunning merge between fashion, architecture, and design. Shop the widget below to replicate Von Furstenberg's chic live/work space for your own home!

Diane von Furstenberg Fall 2012

Chi Diem Chau — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 14:54:49 PST

Designers have been sticking to a more neutral palette for Winter but not Diane von Furstenberg and Yvan Mispelaere. Showing to a celebrity-filled crowd at Lincoln Center - we spotted Solange, Molly Sims, Coco Rocha, and Barbara Walters in the crowd - the duo filled the runway with gorgeous color combos in every jewel tone imaginable. The theme of the collection was "rendezvous," further explained in the show notes as "glamorous at a moment's notice." The outcome was sexy, effortless French-inspired dressing in the way of formfitting wool jersey dresses, wrap skirts, office-appropriate separates, and drapey asymmetric jumpsuits. A pink rendition of the latter, paired with an oversized dark burgundy coat, was one of the highlights of the collection. Whimsical prints - puzzle pieces, quotation marks, and keyholes, were splayed across an array of wrap skirts, oversized coats, and blouses, emoting a sense of mysterious quirk. Whether you're a working woman or just looking to paint the town red, DVF has you covered.

Trends: Sheer insets, high slits, halter and racerback details.
Colors: Raspberry, seafoam green, scarlet red, dark teal, black, mustard yellow.
Key Piece: We loved the asymmetric pink jumpsuit paired with a gorgeous dark burgundy coat.
Accessories: Oversized clutches, box clutches, printed satchel bags, leather opera length gloves, ankle-strap pumps.
Who Would Wear It: Girls who crave effortless, sexy silhouettes and bright hues like Zoe Saldana and front row attendees Molly Sims and Solange.
