Judi Dench Wore a 007 Crystal Tattoo to the London Skyfall Premiere

Oct 26, 2012 @ 1:14 pm

James Bond may have all the high-tech gadgets, but Agent M is the one bringing the bling! At the world premiere of Skyfall in London, Dame Judi Dench added extra sparkle to her powder blue gown by wearing a 007 crystal tattoo on the back of her neck. We thought it was a fun reminder of the butterfly and flower patterns we rocked in years past—and who better than the Dame to give it a secret agent twist? Skyfall opens in theaters nationwide November 9th.

Grimm Costume Designer on Halloween Episode: “Inspired by Alexander McQueen”

Oct 26, 2012 @ 12:51 pm

For tonight’s Halloween episode of the fairy tale-inspired Grimm on NBC, the show re-creates the Mexican folklore “La Llorona,” dating back to the 16th century. The legend tells the story of The Weeping Woman, who kills her children so she can be with the man she loves. When he rejects her, she throws herself into a lake and is forced to roam Earth as a ghost for all eternity. To re-create the “alive” version of the woman (played by Angela Alvarado), costume designer Alexandra Welker turned to Alexander McQueen for inspiration, and hand-designed the look using Marc Jacobs cotton. “I went to see Savage Beauty, the retrospective at The Met last year, and [the late designer] worked a lot with beautiful layering, fluttering chiffon,” Melker told InStyle.com. “I wanted to work with materials that would float, have movement, and look angelic.” For the “undead” version, she wanted something much darker. “For the tattered version, we dyed everything to make it look like it was stained with 100 years of tea or cigarette smoke,” Welker told InStyle.com. She also ripped the sleeves so you can see her “moldy-looking arms” while the character thrashes in the water. “I wanted the effect that the cloth had just completely rotted,” Welker added. Tune in at 9/8c tonight on NBC to see her costume work in action.

Leighton Meester and Victoria Justice Chop Hair: See Photos!

Oct 26, 2012 @ 12:15 pm

Victoria Justice and Leighton Meester have both traded in their long hairstyles for shorter crops! Meester said buh-bye to her signature Blair Waldorf strands in favor of a collarbone-grazing bob, courtesy of Gossip Girl hairstylist Lizzie Reilly. “My long, wavy hair got a lot of mileage, so it was time for a change,” the actress told Just Jared. “I hop out of the shower and it takes five minutes to dry!” Meanwhile, Justice unveiled her new shoulder-skimming cut at last night’s Hollywood premiere of Fun Size. We love how the sleek texture and precise center part give the style a sophisticated edge. Tell us: What do you think of their new looks?

Usher on Joining The Voice and His ‘Hip-Beast-Meets-Chic’ Style

Oct 26, 2012 @ 11:48 am

Usher knows how to make the ladies “Scream,” and not just for his dance-floor hits—it’s his style, too. “It’s Ursher baby!” is how he described his sharp navy suit look at last night’s Pencils of Promise Gala in New York, which celebrated the non-profit’s mission to provide quality education for schools and programs globally. “I could call my style hip-beast-meets-chic, you know what I’m saying?” (Yes. Yes we do.) And we’ll be seeing a lot more of it on The Voice’s spring season, where he’ll be one of the judges replacing CeeLo Green and Christina Aguilera’s 180-degree-moving vacant seats. Of what kind of judge he’s going to be, he said: “A great one! I’m a little biased of me, but we can be really great as artists.” He also loves his new pals, Blake Shelton, Shakira, and Adam Levine. “Me and Blake, we got our Country Twang,” he said. “I’ve been learning a lot of Spanish and Portuguese from Shakira, and me and Adam hit it off right on the first day.” That’s enough to make you say ‘yeah,’ and we’re sure Usher would agree.
