It’s been a big year for British actress Carey Mulligan, having received both Golden Globe and Oscar nominations for her role in An Education. “Yeah, this has been mad,” she told us at yesterday’s Oscar nominee luncheon in Beverly Hills. The former redhead also debuted an eye-popping new hair color. “It’s been really surreal standing in front of those big Oscars behind me. They’re kind of the color of my hair, aren’t they? Which is something I’m working on. [My hair] is a work in progress.”

According to a report in WWD, Madonna is in talks to launch a women’s collection, including apparel, accessories, shoes and lingerie, that would be exclusively sold at Macy’s. Some of the names under consideration for the pop icon’s label include “Material Girl” and “Truth or Dare.” It wouldn’t be the first time Madonna has ventured into fashion—she collaborated with H&M in 2007 for the M by Madonna line and has appeared in ad campaigns for Dolce & Gabbana and Louis Vuitton. Along with her fashion plans, Madge is also set to appear as a judge on Jerry Seinfeld’s new NBC reality show, The Marriage Ref, this spring.

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden have finally confirmed that they’re engaged! “Yeah we’ve been engaged for a while so your all kind of late on that.

Richie did her part in confirming the news on Late Night with David Letterman, where she flashed her gorgeous, vintage-style Neil Lane diamond engagement ring.

For Alexa Chung’s debut collection for Madewell, presented at the Bowery Hotel, the stylish Brit modeled brown velvet hot shorts (“a control top tight is the key!”) and a white silk blouse from her new line. “This is a pretty selfish collection—it’s basically everything I want to wear, things that make your friends go, ‘Oh, where did you get that?’ It’s also inspired by a lot of vintage pieces I own that I wanted to tweak,” Chung told us. But even she’ll admit not all her ideas are fashionable: “I did try to make a denim leotard and it turned out so bad we had to axe it.” More
