Spanx Launches Slimming Swimwear

Jan 26, 2010 @ 5:00 pm

Spanx quells poolside anxiety with the launch of its new swimwear line. Built with the brand’s signature tummy-control panels, suits such as the color-blocked one-piece ($198) and the bust-flattering tankini ($128 for top; $78 for bottom) provide proper support as well as instantly slim figures. That leaves less time for obsessing over bulges and more time for sunbathing! Spanx swimsuits are sold at Bloomingdale’s, Saks and on Spanx’s Web site.

Rumor has it that Victoria Beckham will design a luxury hotel on Isla Moda in Dubai. According to the Mirror UK, the fashion mogul has been offered $40 million to oversee the concepts behind the hotel rooms, furnishings and staff uniforms. If Beckham signs on, she’ll work on the same island as Karl Lagerfeld, who’s designing and developing limited-edition homes on Isla Moda.

We’re Mad About… Sundance Coats!

Jan 26, 2010 @ 2:00 pm

Staying warm is a priority in chilly Park City, Utah, and stars like Jessica Alba, Naomi Watts and Jon Hamm bundle up in style. At the premiere of The Killer Inside Me, Alba looked super chic in a faux fur coat from Opening Ceremony that was inspired by Carol from Where The Wild Things Are. Naomi Watts looked sleek in Tod’s black down jacket designed by the label’s creative director Derek Lam, and Howl star Jon Hamm was among the lucky stars who scored a limited-edition Woolrich parka when he stopped by the Variety Studio. Talk about luxe layering!

Jan 26, 2010 @ 1:00 pm

After a Hope for Haiti Now telethon performance and an appearance at the SAG Awards, busy Justin Timberlake has just received Man of the Year honors from Harvard’s Hasty Pudding Theatricals. The 205-year-old drama collective will debut their latest all-male cabaret show, Commie Dearest, on February 5th, following a roast during which Timberlake will be bedecked in a wig and a bra. Shouldn’t be a stretch—after his “Single Ladies” sketch on SNL, we all know JT can handle a pair of heels.

Over at Chanel, Chung showed her head-to-toe support in the label’s cream dress and clogs. Hathaway lit up the front row at Armani Prive where she eyed “about seven” looks from the collection. “I have a few events in mind,” she told reporters. “If Mr. Armani would be generous enough, I’d love to wear them.”
