Jul 25, 2009 @ 5:00 pm

To mark the 100th episode of So You Think You Can Dance, stylish host Cat Deeley welcomed special guest Katie Holmes. “Katie looked fantastic in a black satin boy blazer, trilby hat and Chanel sequin shorts. She’s got legs just go on for days,” says Deeley of the ensemble Katie wore for her Judy Garland-inspired performance of “Get Happy.” “But I have to say Suri is my new style icon! She came down to the studio in a very fashion-forward floral print dress—she’s our glamour girl of the future!”

Jul 23, 2009 @ 5:00 pm

Her latest burlesque show revolves around a giant martini glass, so it was fitting that guests sipped the Cointreau Teese cocktail while watching Dita Von Teese’s performance at Hollywood hot spot Bardot. Von Teese worked with expert mixologists in Paris to develop the libation, which gets it’s delicate violet hue from Creme de Violette.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 oz. Cointreau
1 oz Creme de Violette
1/2 oz. apple juice
3/4 oz fresh lemon juice

Directions:
Combine ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously. Rim a martini glass with ginger essence. Strain into glass and garnish with an edible violet.

Rachel Rachel Roy’s Soho Pop-Up Store

Jul 23, 2009 @ 12:00 am

Rachel Roy’s diffusion line for Macy’s hits stores in three weeks, but if you are near Soho you can shop the collection in a specialty pop-up store that will remain open for 10 days or until everything is sold out—whichever comes first! Based on the collections cool-factor, high-quality design and affordable prices, our bet’s on a sold out store. Roy told WWD, “I hope to have my own store one day, and to me, launching the Rachel Rachel Roy pop-up store is the most appropriate first step.”

Move Over Bella and Sookie, Here Comes Elena

Jul 22, 2009 @ 2:40 pm

Considering her passion for the bloodsucker genre, Nina Dobrev is the perfect fit for the role of Elena in the new CW series The Vampire Diaries. “I read the Twilight books long before the movie craze and I am obsessed with True Blood,” says Dobrev, who will unveil her new show at Comic-Con later this week. “I think Elena is more like Sookie than Bella, except my character doesn’t have any powers…that we know of.” The Bulgarian-born actress (who previously co-starred with 90210‘s Shenae Grimes on the Canadian TV series Degrassi: The Next Generation) has been heavily involved in developing Elena’s style.
