With Lindsay Lohan’s debut as Elizabeth Taylor in Lifetime’s Liz & Dick last night, the TV movie about Taylor’s love affair with actor Richard Burton, it got us thinking about other actresses who played icons on screen. Jennifer Love Hewitt played Audrey Hepburn in the TV movie The Audrey Hepburn Story in 2000, while Michelle Williams channeled her inner Norma Jeane in My Week With Marilyn last year. Soon, Naomi Watts and Nicole Kidman will be adding regal titles to their resumes with Watts filming her role as Princess Diana in Caught in Flight and Kidman playing Grace Kelly in Grace of Monaco. So, with all of these actress-to-icon portrayals, we want to know—whose reenactment is most on-point? Cast your vote on InStyle’s Facebook page now!

Beyoncé is heading to HBO! The 31-year-old winner of 16 Grammys will direct her own biopic, which will air on HBO February 16, 2013, just a week and a half after she’s on millions of TV screens for the Super Bowl halftime show. “Some of my favorite shows are on HBO, so I am excited that my film will be part of its bold programming,” Beyoncé said in a statement. “This film was so personal to me—it had to have the right home.” We’re already addicted to Beyonce’s Tumblr, so we’re excited to see what she developed for a feature-length version. Plus, does this mean her highly-elusive daughter Blue Ivy—shown above left—will finally make her film debut? Looks like 2013 is already shaping up to be a Beyonce-filled year!

Christina Perri’s “Something About December” Video: What She Wore

Nov 26, 2012 @ 5:04 pm

Christina Perri—she of the epic Twilight wedding song—is really in the holiday spirit! The singer just debuted her video for “Something About December,” the lead single off recently-released holiday EP, A Very Merry Perri Christmas, and it brings to her sentimental song to life by mixing nostalgic home videos with her modern-day look. “I love everything about this video,” she told InStyle.com when we caught up with her to find out about the seasonal clothes she wore for the clip, including a red sweater dress by Parisian brand Irfe and a green dress from retro shop Stop Staring, both of which she paired with traditional pearls. “I wanted to wear something very classic and a little retro,” Perri added. “The song itself has a very ‘70s feel to it, and the location we chose was an old ‘70s style house, so the clothes had to really match. The two dresses were holiday in color, but very classic. The green one was my favorite!” (Shop the dress for $158 at stopstaringclothing.com.) And there was a very special lady who inspired her look: “I wanted to give a little nod to my mother, who this song is really about and dedicated to, so the pearls were for her,” Perri said. So sweet! Watch the full clip above. Perri’s album is available at amazon.com.

The Good Wife Fashion Details: Season 4, Episode 9

Nov 26, 2012 @ 3:40 pm

A new episode of The Good Wife premiered last night, in which Julianna Margulies’s character Alicia Florrick had to balance family drama with her mom (guest star Stockard Channing) with drama in the courtroom about gay marriage laws. She had seven outfit changes in the hour-long episode, all thanks to costume designer Daniel Lawson, who created looks for both her on-duty lawyer scenes and off-duty family scenes. “I’ve been really pleased this year because her looks are more ensemble-like, and she looks more grown-up, more mature, and more design-y,” he told InStyle.com. And his evolved approach was reflected in his choices last night, from Alicia’s Calvin Klein suit to her collared satin blouse. Click through the gallery to learn more details about the fashion last night!

Found It! Cameron Diaz’s Wine Nail Polish

Nov 26, 2012 @ 3:11 pm

Wine-hued lips are a big trend for fall, and the color looks just as great on your nails! We loved the deep burgundy lacquer Cameron Diaz wore to the TAG Heuer event in New York City—she picked LCN’s nail polish in Walk of Fame—a hue the star’s manicurist Michelle Davignon chose to play off of the dark tones in her Lanvin dress. At first glance, the merlot shade almost looks black, but it contrasts just enough for a sophisticated accent. Pick up the color for just $7.50 at lcnboutique.com.
