We’ve reported on the copycat cut phenomenon, asked our favorite hairstylists to suggest the perfect breakover and even given you the chance to try on the asymmetrical style. Now comes news that people are wigging out over the reality star’s hair as they plan their Halloween costumes. A friend at Ricky’s tells us they’ve sold thousands of More

Will Michelle Obama's Latest Leno Appearance Cause Another Shopping FrenzyPaul Drinkwater/NBCU Photo

Will Mrs. Obama’s Latest Leno Visit Cause Another Shopping Frenzy?

Oct 23, 2009 @ 3:00 pm

Tonight Michelle Obama will appear on The Jay Leno Show to answer 10 rapid-fire questions, and our fingers are crossed one of them is “What are you wearing?” Last time she chatted with Leno (on The Tonight Show in 2008), Obama’s J. Crew ensemble made a big impact. “You can get some good stuff online!” the future First Lady said. When Obama kept warm at the inauguration a few months later in J. Crew leather gloves, the sheer number of style-watchers who headed to JCrew.com to buy the same pair caused the brand’s entire Web site to crash. We’re dying to see if tonight’s ensemble will also help stimulate the economy in the same way!

UPDATE! Michelle Obama ending up wearing same floral Thakoon sheath that got raves during the presidential debates—here’s to rotating your wardrobe faves!

First Look: Ivanka Trump’s Wedding Jewelry

Oct 23, 2009 @ 2:25 pm

Multi-talented Ivanka Trump is a very busy woman: she recently wrote a book, is currently filming a new season of Celebrity Apprentice, designs her own line of jewelry and has that little old day job as VP of Acquisitions for the Trump Organization. Still, she managed to add on planning a wedding to her list of responsibilities. But the once-in-a-lifetime event didn’t seem to faze her: “Planning has been so easy,” Trump told us. “I chose the floral arrangements, the dress, some food, some music and it was done!” This left one final detail to attend to though: her wedding jewels. The bride-to-be just revealed three pieces she’ll wear on Sunday, all from her namesake collection, including a $45,000 custom-designed hair accessory, gorgeous diamond drop earrings valued at $130,000 and a $90,000 Art Deco-inspired bracelet. She’s swathing her maids in Ivanka Trump jewels as well! Lucky ladies.

Check back here on Monday morning for more wedding-day details!

You might know Frédéric Fekkai (top left) as the man behind the genius line of hair products, but he’s also the scissors behind tons of celebrities’ perfect cuts. (Think Blake Lively, Jennifer Garner, and Debra Messing.) Normally, a visit to this legend would put you back about $1000—except from October 25th through November 5th. As part of his collaboration with the Art of Elysium, a non-profit that pairs working actors, artists, and musicians with children with serious medical conditions, Fekkai is offering $200 cuts (no, not a typo!) at his flagship salon in West Hollywood. 100% of the proceeds will go to charity. To book, call the Melrose Place salon at 323-655-7800 and mention Elysium—you’ll leave looking and feeling good.

Amelia Revives the Aviator Trend

Oct 23, 2009 @ 10:00 am

Hilary Swank’s turn as America’s darling of flight, Amelia Earhart, is breathing life back into aviation-inspired fashion. Months before the film’s release, we saw Earhart-inspired looks at the Fall 2009 Hermes show (far left) and now Bloomingdale’s is celebrating the icon’s pioneering style too, with a fall catalog and special in-store exhibits inspired by the film’s wardrobe. Aviator-chic has officially become full-blown trend for fall, so grab a rugged bomber jacket, throw on a printed scarf and aviator sunglasses and prepare be inspired by Amelia—in theaters today.
