Rachel McAdams Digs Into The Omnivore’s Dilemma

Jul 16, 2009 @ 2:00 pm

After shooting scenes for the comedy Morning Glory in N.Y.C., Rachel McAdams toted her latest read, The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals. From fast food to foraged meals, the bestselling book examines the origins of food and how it affects both our health and planet. Is McAdams cleaning up her eating habits? “You have to be so strict. And I’m only human,” the actress has said of giving up her vegetarian lifestyle a few years ago. “I fell off the wagon, right into bacon.”

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy’s Charitable Couture

Jul 16, 2009 @ 1:10 pm

The G8 summit may be intended as a meeting of political superpowers but, thanks to the French First Lady, it is now a meeting of fashion superpowers as well. To go with Bruni-Sarkozy’s wardrobe of Chanel and Dior dresses, Bruno Frisoni created a Roger Vivier haute couture crocodile bag especially for the style icon. Fancifully called the “Carlalala,” the intent behind it is far from frivolous: proceeds from sales of the made-to-order creation will go to the First Lady’s favorite charities. Announced the accessories house: “We consider [the design] our small contribution to the G8.”

We’re Mad About… Metallic Blazers

Jul 16, 2009 @ 11:00 am

Rachel Bilson looked like a vision in gold, sporting a metallic blazer and matching shorts at the 3.1 Phillip Lim anniversary party last night. Her eye-catching choice has spurred a new fashion obsession—metallic suiting. Since Bilson’s blazer is from Lim’s upcoming resort collection, we found this tailored version to hold us over. Take a cue from her and pair yours with a classic black top to avoid shine overkill.

Blazer, Maje, $525; visit net-a-porter.com.

The supermodel arrived at LAX airport looking comfortable yet chic in a long, flowy maxidress, white scarf (doubles as a blanket!) and oversize shades. Hours later she hit the ESPY’s red carpet looking flawless in a white gown and Veronica Lake-inspired hairdo.

While Grey Gardens‘s eccentric mother-daughter duo Little Edie (near left; played by Drew Barrymore) and Big Edie Beale (not shown; played by Jessica Lange) wear items from the ’30s through the end of the century that mirrored what they wore in real life.
