Nina Dobrev Channels Her Inner Vegas Cowgirl For Nylon

Katie Henry — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 11:03:08 PST

Nina Dobrev wore an embellished jacket from McQ for her February 2012 Nylon cover. The Vampire Diaries star also modeled looks from Acne, Jeremy Scott, and Ralph Lauren inside the magazine and worked with her stylist Riawna Capri to create a "vintage Vegas cowgirl" vibe. Nina's quickly becoming a favorite for designers to dress, and for her appearance at the People's Choice Awards earlier this month, she chose a green Elie Saab. The dress was not only beautiful, but apparently comfortable too. Nina was still wearing it when she caught a flight back to Atlanta with boyfriend Ian Somerhalder after the show.

Kate Bosworth Bares Her Bellybutton For New Nylon Cover

Lindsay Miller — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 15:34:00 PST

Kate Bosworth graces the March edition of Nylon in short shorts and a midriff-baring top. The actress, who is famous for both her style and her film career, has been jetting from one Fashion Week to the next recently. She was at Calvin Klein's show in NYC and joined her BFF and Baby costar Rachel Bilson in the front row at Burberry in London yesterday. Kate talked about bringing her chic sensibilities to her new career as a designer with JewelMint, her upcoming film Another Happy Day, and what she'd do if acting weren't an option. Here are highlights from her interview, and check out Nylon for more pictures:

On why she launched JewelMint: "I wanted to make everything $30. There's nothing in that price range, really. You can go to, like, Claire's and get something for $5, and the next level up is over $100. This is a middle range of really cute, really fun accessories. All my friends love a bargain, whether or not they can also shop at expensive stores . . . Sienna Miller's one of my best friends and we always go bargain hunting!"
On her latest leading man: "I'm obsessed with Ezra Miller. He's such a fantastic actor and I'm really honored, honestly, that we got to work together. He's gonna be a big deal."
On what other profession she'd consider: "I don't think I could be anything but an actress but if I were, I'd be a psychiatrist. I think people are so interesting and I think their issues are so much a part of what make people who they are. I know I have my issues, for sure!"

Rachel Bilson Mixes Up Her Look and Talks Homebody Habits For Nylon

Lauren Turner — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 11:34:09 PDT

Rachel Bilson layered up for the cover of Nylon's November America issue. Rachel is known as well for her style as she is for her acting work, and the actress opened up about her fashion sense - and even shared the contents of her Chloe purse! - in the magazine. Rachel's currently starring in the CW series Hart of Dixie, but when she's not working, she admits to being quite the homebody. Here's more from Rachel Bilson in Nylon:

On the contents of her huge Chloe bag: "I feel like Mary Poppins! Look at this, I have a bra in here! All right, let's see what else is here: makeup remover, Advil, nail accessories. . . . Oh! I have socks and a pen in here, too! My wallet, sunglasses, my call sheet, checkbook. . . . I have some Mexican jumping beans! You never know when you may need them!"
On being a homebody: "I'm all about Netflix and ordering Teen Mom on iTunes. I go to bed at nine! I'm not as interested in going out and partying at night anymore; I'm more set in my ways. I know I sound like an 80-year-old."
On her fashion sense as a child: "I always had to dress myself, which is very interesting when you're two. My poor mom. There was this one dress, it was my favorite - it was really colorful and big and ridiculous. I wore it until it fell apart. I was a very bossy fashionista when I was three. I feel like if I ever have a daughter, there is going to be some sweet revenge placed on me because of how I was as a kid."

Designer We Love: Sophie Monet

FabSugar — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 14:07:18 PDT

Sophie Monet has been making a strong statement with her line of sculptural wood-based jewelry, and we're smitten with the simple, yet incredibly striking results. The clean, geometric lines are a breath of fresh air from layered chains and embellishments, while the combination of elements ranges from the intriguingly earthy-think turquoise, crystals, and unfinished gemstones-to the decidedly modern: sleek shapes with a gilded touch. Her line is growing; you can now buy it at Fred Segal and Planet Blue, as well as her website. We had a one-on-one with the 24 year-old designer, and got the scoop on her budding line.

FabSugar: How did your jewelry line begin?
Sophie Monet: I started experimenting with wood almost 3 years ago. It was my first summer out of college and after interning for Alexander Wang and Nylon Magazine I was kinda like “Now what?" I made one ring, a few necklaces and a line sheet, then all of sudden I was in Fred Segal and Planet Blue. It’s all fun for me. I get to make art all day, get dirty and end up with an awesome-looking end result.

FS: What made you start with woodmaking?
SM: I’ve always loved making things with my hands. I really just started using wood out of convenience. I grew up around it, playing in my dad’s art studio, gluing scrap pieces together.

FS: What was your breakthrough moment?
SM: Probably when I saw my double finger rings in Women’s Wear Daily. I was excited to tell everyone. Doing interviews like this is just amazing and makes me feel so lucky.

Who Is Blair's Soul Mate on Gossip Girl?

Becky Kirsch — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 11:33:29 PDT

Blair Waldorf may be engaged to Louis on Gossip Girl, but we're not giving up on her other suitors until she and her prince say "I do." We know we're not alone on this either, given the hoards of fans who have pledged their allegiance to Team Chair or Team Dair. Even Penn Badgley himself has opened up about his feelings toward Blair's love life. He told Nylon magazine that "I think Blair is Dan's soul mate. I don't know if they're ever going to get together."

It seemed like any chance of a real Dan and Blair relationship was lost at the end of last season, but there's clearly still a fire between them in the more recent episodes. Still, Gossip Girl has essentially programmed us to believe that Blair and Chuck will always be meant for each other, no matter what. They're like the Ross and Rachel of the show. Where do you stand on the debate - do you think Blair's soul mate is Dan or Chuck?
