When someone as legendary as Warren Beatty handpicks a woman to be the leading lady in a film he’s directing, expect her career to soar. After all, this is the man who cast former flame Madonna and current wife Annette Bening in two of the biggest dramas of the ’90s: Dick Tracy and Bugsy. He […]

Born in Pescara, Italy, and raised in Hamilton, Ontario, the 51-year-old Italian-Canadian director has spent more than 25 years reshaping the identities of artists, singers, musicians and actors with […]

Compared to other awards shows like the Grammys and the VMAs, the Oscars red carpet is a relatively conservative, straight-laced affair. If you were to google “Oscars beauty looks,” you’d see a screen full of pretty much the same thing repeated over and over: gently smoked-out eyeshadow, nude lipstick (with a few classic reds thrown […]

When it comes to film festivals, nothing really comes close to the glamour of Cannes. Until now, that is. Every year, we always keep tabs on who shows up at the Venice Film Festival and there’s usually only a handful that grab our attention throughout the 10-day festival. But being only day six into this year’s, it […]

Earlier last week, many of our fave celebrities were on hand to present awards at this year’s Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Award. It’s always been a habit of the star attendees to channel their sexy side at the ESPYs, and judging from this year’s red carpet round up, they didn’t break from tradition. Celebrating […]

Today might as well be known as Asia’s fashion takeover: While New York is prepping for tonight’s Chinese-themed Met Gala, Karl Lagerfeld flew Chanel’s much-anticipated Cruise 2016 collection to Seoul, South Korea’s capital city. While the models (with Soo Joo Park at the helm) trickled down the runway in a kaleidoscope of colours and traditional Korean […]

Keeping with the element of surprise that exists at the core of Nars, François Nars has officially tapped British actress Tilda Swinton as the face of the Spring 2015 campaign. With a fine lineup preceding the silver screen star, including Daphne Guinness and Charlotte Rampling, the brand has fallen for her audacious style and compelling work in the […]

Given the fact that the Chanel 2014 Cruise collection took place in Dubai, there was never a doubt the A-list guest list would be anything short of the best.

Dancing to the tunes of Janelle Monae in the jewel of a city, celebrities were dressed in the most recent Chanel-clad ensembles, making any fan of the designer house swoon with envy. One to lean towards more gentleman-inspired outfits, Tilda Swinton surprised us in an elegant black tweed dress that featured a corset-inspired cut from the Fall 2014 collection. Dakota Fanning also sported a similar silhouette standing out against the grey skyline in a multi-colour feather-inspired Spring 2014 couture dress. But if it were a competition of who embodied the culture of the city best with their sartorial choices, it would have to go to long-time ambassadress Vanessa Paradis and Freida Pinto. While Paradis teamed a ‘20s-inspired hairstyle with an ivory sleeveless embroidered dress, we loved how the Indian actress worked a frilly two-piece ensemble from the Pre-Fall 2014 collection making it the ideal outfit for the desert city.

Talk about an oasis. Over the course of eight weeks, Chanel turned a completely barren, man-made desert island off the shore of Dubai into a party venue for the unveiling of its 2015 Cruise collection.

“This probably cost more than any film I’ve made” remarked Tilda Swinton, one of 1,000 guests who boarded a wooden “abra” launch for the 5 minute journey across the placid Arabian Gulf. A sand pathway led to a lattice facade of stylized double Cs.

Inside the air-conditioned hall, built just for the night, sunken banquettes surrounded low tables topped with ornate lanterns and tiers of savoury pastries. The crowd was a veritable United Nations, from Asian men with Chanel Boy bags slung around their suits to cloaked ladies with violet and emerald croc 2.55 purses popping against their black abayas.

Coco Chanel once advocated wearing white way past Labour Day, so it’s only fitting that we’d find two current style icons following in her footsteps while wearing none other than Chanel. At the sixth annual MoMa Film Benefit last night in New York, Jessica Biel and Alexa Chung were dressed in two very different white tweed looks from the label’s recent resort and couture collections. The benefit also honoured Tilda Swinton for her contribution to cinema on her 53rd birthday, which, serendipitously, is also Chung’s. Talk about a lucky day!

Jessical Biel wore a contour hugging white tweed Resort 2014 dress featuring two front pockets, golden chain details around the shoulders and bust. Topping things off with a white and black plexiglas minaudière, Biel added some aqua eyeliner for a pop of colour against a neutral pink lip and a simple cat eye. A brown metallic pump adds the perfect contrast against the gold chain detail and glossy clutch.

From the royal baby to impending celebrity sighting, this week’s awesome newsreel just won’t stop. Yesterday, TIFF announced the first batch of films to be premiered at TIFF 2013 and as you can imagine, the list is already A-lister stacked. Since we have no shame when it comes to being starstruck, we’e okay with telling you that we’re already way more than a little bit excited to see what our favourite stars wear on the red carpet (and IRL, if we’re lucky!) when it’s game time.

In addition to the babeular list of studs that includes Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Matthew McConaughey, Ewan McGregor, Jude Law, James Franco, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Adam Levine and Chris Hemsworth, the ladies expected are pretty cray! Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock are just three! Shwing!

So without further ado, let’s make believe what 12 of TIFF 2013’s most hopeful attendees will be wearing to the festival’s premieres. Let’s make it happen!
