Michelle Obama’s Anniversary Gems

Dec 18, 2009 @ 11:10 am

How sweet! The pave diamond flower pin that Michelle Obama has worn on three occasions—during her interviews with both Oprah Winfrey and Barbara Walters and for the Nobel Prize Signing Ceremony in Oslo, Norway—was actually an anniversary gift from the President. The custom-made pin is by Italian jeweler Garavelli and was one of two pieces President Obama gave the First Lady for their October 3rd wedding anniversary this year. The other was the double-strand pearl necklace she wore on Oprah’s Christmas special—the stylish First Lady added the pin to the pearls for a perfect finishing touch.

Beyonce Launches First Fragrance

Dec 18, 2009 @ 9:00 am

Beyonce is adding some sizzle to your nearest perfume counter with her debut fragrance, Heat. The bottle was inspired by the singer’s performances—”A lot of [them] have had fire involved. Also red is one of my favorite colors, as is gold,” Beyonce told WWD. The scent has notes of red vanilla orchid, magnolia, neroli and blush peach, and according to Beyonce, when fans tested it, they “loved it. They were like ‘I love that, I’m getting that, why isn’t it out right now? I need it!’” Heat will be available starting in February at cosmetic counters nationwide.

Style to Watch: The Women of Nighttime News

Dec 18, 2009 @ 12:00 am

With Diane Sawyer anchoring ABC’s World News Tonight starting Monday and Katie Couric already at the helm of CBS Evening News, nighttime news will soon be dominated by women. So will their style affect their viewers? Some designers hope so: “Now it’s fashionable to be over the top� I like that for once you get restraint from these girls, and it might help the cause,” Isaac Mizrahi told WWD. And Barneys Creative Director Simon Doonan agrees. “[Their] personal style is… accessible glamour. They do have a big influence. Diane Sawyer is an achievable goal,” he said.
