When she stopped by our portrait lounge, Kat Dennings told us that she’d found the perfect dress to wear on the red carpet at the premiere of Defendor at the Toronto Film Festival. “I got it at TopShop,” Dennings said of the super-cool taffeta “prom” dress she scored for just $100. “It’s different, but I like to try out new looks.”

Two of the music industry’s biggest stars had an unexpected surprise when they arrived at the Video Music Awards last night: Shakira and Pink were wearing the same Balmain dress! If there was ever a time that warranted a little diva drama, this was it, but the superstars stayed cool and collected and even shared a hug when they met up on the red carpet. “I think it’s hilarious,” said Pink when she realized the wardrobe deja vous. “I don’t care; I hope she’s not mad.”

My top pick from the collections yesterday was Boy Band of Outsiders’s navy double-breasted coat—a perfectly modern take on the men’s navy blazer. The model’s bleach blond hair and aviator sunglasses were chic and her undone look created a cool contrast to the classic style.

Julie Haus knows the value of a good laugh—her latest lineup is a nod to the master of silly, Charlie Chaplin. “The silhouettes mimic Chaplin’s style in a modern, androgynous way,” said Haus. The designer mixed her signature girly separates with paper bag trousers, topcoats and quirky hats (by milliner-to-watch Gigi Burris) for a sugary-sweet take on tomboy.
