Rachel Zoe’s Pregnancy Craving: Strawberries!

Jan 19, 2011 @ 3:51 pm

Celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe is a busy woman these days. She’s filming a new season of her show The Rachel Zoe Project, dressing Anne Hathaway for when the actress hosts the Oscars, launching a new collection, and on top of all of that, she’s pregnant! “It’s been a good pregnancy,” Zoe (in a Balmain dress and vintage Chanel earrings) told us at the Weinstein and Relativity Media Golden Globes after-party. “I’m super tired, but I have no time for a nap.” Zoe, who is expecting a boy, also said that she’s craving one thing, and one thing only. “Strawberries are my only craving,” she said. “I can eat a whole pint!” Man, we thought she’d say bananas.

Anne Hathaway to Play Catwoman

Jan 19, 2011 @ 2:49 pm

After much speculation over who would be cast as the female lead against Christian Bale’s Batman in The Dark Knight Rises, Anne Hathaway won the major part! The Love and Other Drugs star is set to play Catwoman for the 2012 movie, THR reports, a role Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry both played in previous films. And this is just another huge accomplishment for the actress: She’s also hosting the Oscars on February 27th and planning to appear on Glee as Kurt Hummel’s lesbian aunt. Do you think Hathaway will make a good Catwoman?

Golden Globes: Who Did You Vote Best Dressed?

Jan 19, 2011 @ 1:52 pm

Dianna Agron! Not only did Glee take home three awards at the Golden Globes on Sunday, but you voted Agron as your favorite look in our InStyle Best Dressed Poll. (Anne Hathaway took second place.) The actress’s winning look was a J. Mendel gown, which she paired with a Cathy Waterman diamond necklace. The J. Mendel label is quickly becoming a red-carpet staple—counting Kristen Stewart, Taylor Swift and Demi Moore among its many celebrity fans. However, fun fact: It was first known for its furs. It’s also a family business; the current designer Gilles Mendel is the fifth generation to direct the label. Well, Agron and Mendel certainly made a great pair—another win for the Gleeks!

Fairly Legal’s Sarah Shahi Demanded a Good Wardrobe

Jan 19, 2011 @ 10:58 am

If there’s one thing Sarah Shahi wanted for her new USA show Fairly Legal, it’s great clothes. “I really demanded that she have an amazing wardrobe,” Shahi told us of her character on the show, Kate Reed, a lawyer-turned-mediator. “When we started filming, I was wearing six-inch heels, but Kate was always running all over the city, so we had to take them down a few inches.” Shahi previously starred on Life, and during her stint on the NBC show, she appeared on the cover of the InStyle Weddings spring 2009 issue (shown). And although she posed in some incredible dresses to show off bridal hairstyles—“It was such a fun shoot!”—Shahi and her husband Steve Howey (who currently stars on Showtime’s Shameless) actually eloped at the Elvis Chapel in Las Vegas. She was four months pregnant with her son Wolf at the time, and yes, an Elvis impersonator officiated (and performed) at the ceremony! Catch Shahi on Fairly Legal when it premieres on USA tomorrow at 10/9c.
