Meet Miss Golden Globe 2012: Rainey Qualley

Dec 8, 2011 @ 9:28 pm

Congratulations, Rainey Qualley! The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has just named the 21 year-old daughter of Andie MacDowell and former model Paul Qualley Miss Golden Globe 2012. And that’s quite an honor—it means the budding star will help hand out the trophies during the 69th annual Golden Globes ceremony. “She’s not aware of her beauty, she’s very humble, she’s extraordinarily intelligent and she’s a wonderful singer,” MacDowell recently told Ladies Home Journal about her eldest daughter. In addition to music, it looks like Rainey is also going the acting route—she’ll make her movie debut when the big screen drama Mighty Fine hits theaters early next year. And if she has trouble deciding what to wear on Globes night, Rainey can always look to her mom for fashion advice. “When I would get dressed for school in the morning, she would give me three options of dresses,” Qualley remembered to LHJ. “She would pick up a dress and make it talk to me like, ‘Look at me! I’m so pretty! Wear me!’” Watch out for Qualley (and a beaming MacDowell) when the Golden Globes airs live on January 15, 2012 on NBC!

Breaking Dawn Star Casey LaBow Designs 3×1 Bespoke Jeans

Dec 8, 2011 @ 5:29 pm

We followed Breaking Dawn star Casey LaBow as she designed a pair of made-to-order jeans at Manhattan’s 3×1 atelier. Founded by Paper, Denim & Cloth and Earnest Sewn denim guru Scott Morrison, the 4,000 sq. ft. design studio offers limited edition, custom and bespoke jeans. LaBow was particularly qualified to play designer—aside from spending her pre-actress days working as a stylist’s assistant, she got an education from her boho-chic Breaking Dawn wardrobe. “We were very furs and leather—the Denali clan is like the fancy coven,” she said. “We were all fly.”  Also an inspiration? A pair of designer jeans she spotted in the closet of model pal Erin Wasson. Click through for pictures of the process and shot of the final jeans by Casey herself! And find out more about 3×1 at www.3×1.us.

Nothing feels quite as festive as a little bling for the holidays and stars are getting in the spirit with some shimmer on the red carpet this week! From the subtle silver sheen on Rachel McAdams’ embroidered Marchesa gown at the L.A. premiere of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows to Fergie‘s all-out shiny  Monique Lhuillier at the Hollywood post-premiere bash of New Year’s Eve, silver is striking. Of her Valentino gown, Lea Michele said, “It reminded me most of New Year’s!” Olivia Palermo‘s LBD had a hint of glimmer to catch the light at the Valentino Garavani Virtual Museum Launch party in New York City. The one thing they all had in common? Toned down jewels. If you go for the glitter this season, take your cue from these leading ladies and choose your jewels or your dress—but not both to show off some dazzle.
