Dior Couture: Glamorous As Ever!

Jan 25, 2010 @ 6:00 pm

Dressed in jodhpurs and a derby hat, John Galliano rode off with our hearts with his breathtaking, equestrian-themed creations for Christian Dior’s spring haute couture show in Paris. Tailored riding jackets, romantic lace confections and billowing silk ballgowns referenced both the Belle Epoque era of British couturier Charles James and Dior’s iconic 1947 New Look fashion show. Dita Von Teese tweeted from the front row that the show was “a marvel.” Fellow front-rower Kylie Minogue agreed. “What John did today was take it to another, more extravagant and beautiful level,” she told Fashion Wire Daily.

Beards Are Back For Hollywood’s Finest

Jan 25, 2010 @ 2:00 pm

Brad Pitt, Robert Pattinson and Jon Hamm have three of the most chiseled and most photographed faces in Hollywood—but lately, they’ve been shrouded in heavy facial hair! But no, the stars aren’t using their beards to dodge the paparazzi. Pattinson’s look, which debuted at Friday night’s Hope for Haiti Now telethon, is reportedly for his role in the upcoming film Bel Ami with Uma Thurman. Pitt’s lengthy goatee is also in preparation for the movie The Lost City of Z, in which he plays a British colonel exploring the Amazon. More

[Award show dresses] are pretty much the same.” That being said, Ford still did have a pick for the night’s best dressed. “Meryl Streep looks pretty great,” he said.

After hyping their movies during the daylight hours, the stars are taking in Park City’s night life with special one-night-only concerts. On Saturday, Joan Jett hit the stage at Harry O’s to celebrate the release of the music flick The Runaways. In the middle of her 10-song set, Jett whipped the crowd into a frenzy when she pulled Runaways stars Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning on stage. At the Cornerstone Entertainment party at the Village at the Yard, actor Patrick Wilson belted out 70s hits by Foreigner and Journey with Rock of Ages star Constantine Maroulis. Performers John Legend and Kelis also entertained the festival crowds with memorable music.
