Halle Berry and Fergie Win at Fifi Fragrance Awards

May 26, 2011 @ 2:30 pm

The Fragrance Foundation hosted the 2011 FiFi Awards last night, and Halle Berry took home the “Best Celebrity Fragrance of the Year” prize for her scent, Reveal. “I think it’s reflective of a part of myself,” Berry told InStyle exclusively. The actress, who arrived in slinky Halston gown with waist-high cut-outs, shared her scent’s secret ingredient—rare orchids! “It’s got some sweet notes in it but always at the bottom, there’s a musky sexiness to it.” Even Berry’s daughter Nahla is a fan. “I have four fragrances now and she tries them all out,” the actress said. “She’s a very girly girl.” Fergie won the “New Celebrity Fragance of the Year Award” for Outspoken. “I want women to feel comfortable in their skin,” the pop star told us. “To say what they feel and to mean what they say.”

The Hunger Games Casts Lenny Kravitz as Cinna

May 26, 2011 @ 1:21 pm

While many of the main characters like Katniss, Gale, Peeta and Haymitch have been cast in The Hunger Games trilogy, we’ve been waiting to see who will play the young, flashy stylists. While his partner Portia has yet to be revealed, Kravitz will fill the pivotal role of Cinna, who takes the spotlight as the creative force behind Katniss’ (Jennifer Lawrence) intense style transformation and risk-taking opening ceremonies ensemble. Other than his appearance in 2009′s Precious, Kravitz has little other recent screen time, which will undoubtedly lead to speculation on how he’ll portray the innovative, friendly stylist we fell in love with in the books. Do you think Kravitz will make a good Cinna? Tell us in the comments below and click “see the photos” to see the rest of the cast!

Kate and Pippa: Style Twins

May 26, 2011 @ 12:00 pm

Kate and Pippa are a year and a half apart; but when it comes to fashion choices, they might as well be twins. They gravitate not just to similar clothing (they are sisters, after all) but to identical styles. Check out the pair as they mirror each other’s day and evening looks (white denim and light-as-air silk gowns); preferences in cuts, patterns and colors (they love their cobalt!); and even their accessories (neutral leather satchels and white leather flats).

We gathered their most similar looks and placed them side by side. Click through the gallery to see all of their looks. And trust us: The similarities are shocking!
