The Toronto International Film Festival is happening, but all we can think about is Queen Elizabeth II, who died yesterday, on the first day. The modern monarch and style icon taught everyone from plebeians to celebrities a thing or two about a red-carpet walkabout. And like they say, the show—in this case the TIFF 2022 […]

Evan Rachel Wood is well on her way to becoming a pantsuit icon. The Westworld star boldly broke red carpet conventions at not just one, but two award shows so far this season, in back-to-back Altzurra tuxes at the Golden Globes and SAG Awards. Her reason why is even important than her ‘best dressed list’ status. “I wanted to make sure […]

Call it the Hillary effect—Hollywood’s leading ladies of the big and small screen are puttin’ on the Ritz this awards season. At last weekend’s 74th Annual Golden Globes, nominees Octavia Spencer (Hidden Figures) and Evan Rachel Wood (Westworld) both wore cool menswear-inspired tux looks on the red carpet—a refreshing alternative to the usual frilly fare.

Just when we’d vowed to never say the term “squad goals” again, Elle Fanning, Susan Sarandon and Naomi Watts had to go and light up the TIFF 2015 red carpet at the premiere of their film, About Ray. While Fanning went for a black and white tiered Emilio Pucci gown, her counterparts opted for a […]

Check out our velvety picks!

Back in 1399, King Richard II of England wrote in his will that he should only be buried in velvet from head to toe (how regal!). While Richie may have taken the velvet trend a little too far back way back when, we’re still dreaming about draping ourselves in velvet in 2012. What could be more luxurious?

This fall, we saw velvet on the runway of Gucci as well as voluminous pieces made by Dolce & Gabbana. These lush pieces were then snapped up by celebrities like Katy Perry who looked pretty as a princess in Dolce at her movie premiere in Los Angeles and Kim Kardashian who wore the low-cut Gucci number with Tom Ford chain heels while promoting Midori.

From Charlize Theron‘s feminine froth, to Reese Witherspoon‘s red hot, to Rooney Mara‘s black-on-black, last night’s red carpet at the 2012 Golden Globes was certainly a kaleidoscopic feast for the eyes. (A feast that will usher in countless trends, to be sure.) Amidst all the showstopping beauty, who came out on top? To help narrow it down, we’ve got the trends down to an ombré effect. Check out our mega slideshow, and tell us who was your favourite of the night!

Word: Sexploded

Meaning: To seek out and destroy a person and/or their relationship with the full summons of your sexual powers.

Usage: “Confirmed: Kim Kardashian Sexploded Kanye West and Amber Rose‘s Relationship.” — headline on jezebel.com yesterday

We’ve certainly seen actors embrace the characters they play while a film is in production, but Rooney Mara seems to be holding on to her Lisbeth Salander style long after David Fincher called “Cut!” on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. True, blunt-cut bangs take a long time to grow out, and Mara is wise to keep her hair black if she’s soon due on set for the sequel. But paired with that deep-purple lipstick and stark neutral eye—it’s seems Mara’s not ready to give up Salander’s gothic-grunge look.

Fortunately, Mara’s once-demure style shines through, making her aesthetic appear very modern and not at all like the gothic glamfest that other bright-eyed beauties (Evan Rachel Wood, we’re talking to you!) are fond of.

Once again, the Grey Goose Soho House was home to just about every star you’d ever want to be home with last night, as the casts from Drive and A Dangerous Method celebrated their screenings. Who, pray tell, is all the hype about? Just Ryan Gosling, Keira Knightley, Alexander Skarsgård, Emily Blunt, Bono, George Clooney, Jon Hamm, Evan Rachel Wood, Anna Faris, Dave Matthews, Sarah Sadon, David Cronenberg, Jimmy Kimmel, Kate Mara, Emile Hirsch, Albert Brooks, and Brian Cranston is all. Wish you were there? We’ll give you the next best thing…

Amongst the many (many) velvet ropes of TIFF, the ones that you’ll most want to get past are the ones guarding the Grey Goose Soho House. Held at an undisclosed location (we would tell you, but that would probably mean that they wouldn’t let us back), the ultra-private bar, with its specialty cocktails (more on that later), its mishmash of expensive-looking antique furniture, and its teeny-tiny DJ booth, is going to be home to some of the most exclusive parties of the week. Last night, the megawatt cast from Ides of March—ahem, Ryan Gosling, George Clooney, Evan Rachel Wood, Paul Giamatti, Philip Seymour Hoffman—and We Need to Talk About Kevin—ahem, Tilda Swinton—held court. Plus, Mark Wahlberg made drinks! Later, it was reported that Alexander Skarsgård was there, though until we see him with our own eyes, attempt to kidnap him, and then get arrested, we won’t be satisfied.
