May 24, 2012 @ 5:30 pm

Jenna Lyons may be the style mind behind J.Crew, but Mickey Drexler is the man with the final say—and that’s what tonight’s one-hour special on CNBC is all about. In this early clip from the mini-doc, J.Crew and the Man Who Dressed America, we see the “King of Retail” CEO on the scene at the lucky northern New Jersey store location that gets the first shipment of new product in the country every month. This store’s front window is the one that gets recreated all across America—if it gets the okay from Mickey first, that is. Watch a preview of the special above, and tune in to watch at 10 p.m. ET on CNBC.

Aw Moment of the Day: Joshua Jackson Bought Diane Kruger This Necklace

May 24, 2012 @ 3:30 pm

How does Joshua Jackson stand out in a room with former U.S. President Bill Clinton and European royal Prince Albert II of Monaco? With a grand romantic gesture, of course! During the auction section of the Nights in Monaco gala, held last night at Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, the actor bid on this fancy “Boreal” necklace by Brazilian designer Carla Amorim, and won the design for his longtime love Diane Kruger with a $45,000 offer. “I’m flattered to have Diane, a beautiful, talented, professional, chic and generous woman wearing my designs,” Amorim told InStyle.com exclusively of the piece, which features 11.7 carats of white diamonds set in 18k rose gold. And it was all for a great cause—the evening raised over $750,000 for the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and the William J. Clinton Foundation.

Why Michelle Trachtenberg Got Blue Hair

May 24, 2012 @ 2:45 pm

Michelle Trachtenberg’s hair now has bright blue ends, and it’s all because of her new role as a psycho killer in the thriller The Scribbler, out next year. “It wasn’t even something they asked me to do, I just said ‘I think half my head should be blue,’” she told us at the Coach-hosted Childrens Defense Fund benefit party in Santa Monica last night. While producers denied a full head of blue hair, they compromised with just the tips, and Trachtenberg sought celebrity colorist Tracy Cunningham to dip-dye her strands. “We did it and it’s been so much fun,” she said. Of course, it took some getting used to. “It is super subtle though during the day it is a bright,” she said. “But after the first washing, I thought I killed one of the characters from Avatar!” Tell us: Do you like her look?
