The Latest from NARS Orgasm

Jan 14, 2010 @ 3:00 pm

NARS Orgasm Blush is the most universally flattering peachy pink blush we’ve ever come across—but the new Orgasm Illuminator, which launches this month, might just give it a run for its money. The formula—a sort of highlighter/cream blush fusion—goes on sheer and leaves behind a warm rosy gold glow. Need further convincing? Check out supermodel Amber Valletta modeling the shade in her new ad campaign. We’ve heard of bedroom eyes, but NARS Illuminator in Orgasm might just be the way to perfect bedroom cheeks.

<em>A Single Man</em>'s Mid-Century Home

A Single Man’s Mid-Century Home

Jan 14, 2010 @ 2:00 pm

The setting in Tom Ford’s new film, A Single Man, is a visual tableau of mid-century style. Fashion luminary Ford makes his directorial debut with the film (based on the 1964 novel by Christopher Isherwood), in which Colin Firth plays a grief stricken professor who has lost his longtime lover. The suburban Los Angeles home (currently for sale!) is the ideal modernist retreat for Firth’s reserved, soul-searching character. Designed by renowned architect John Lautner in 1949, the house is a gorgeous blend of natural wood, concrete and glass that merges seamlessly with the surrounding forest. More

Hollywood Stars Step In to Help Haiti

Jan 14, 2010 @ 1:40 pm

Stars are reaching out to help victims of the devastating earthquake that destroyed Port-au-Prince, Haiti on Tuesday. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt donated one million dollars, and Olivia Wilde has taken to her Twitter account: “My husband and I were just in Haiti a few weeks ago,” she told us today. “When the earthquake happened, I tweeted about it. We’ve already raised $34,000.” Haiti’s economic conditions have long been a celebrity cause: Haitian Wyclef Jean started Yele Haiti, a foundation also supported by Jolie (far left). And just last year, Mario Bello (near left) was featured in our July issue for her charitable efforts in the Caribbean country. More

Victoria Beckham’s American Idol Style

Jan 14, 2010 @ 11:00 am

Last night’s American Idol got a major boost of style thanks to a super-posh guest judge—Victoria Beckham! She took the judges table by storm wearing two frocks from her own collection—a strong-shouldered red dress and then, our personal favorite, a navy blue sheath with chiffon overlay (left) that put Simon Cowell’s staple white v-neck to shame. She even admitted to judging the contestants style as much as their performance: “Even if someone was really not that great, they might have a great pair of shoes on that I really appreciated. I can find something good to say about most people,” she told E! after the show.
