91 Looks Seen on The Good Wife Season Four (Which Ends Tonight!)

Apr 28, 2013 @ 4:00 pm

The season finale of The Good Wife airs tonight on CBS! In honor of the show’s ultra-stylish power lawyer Alicia Florrick (played by the incomparable Julianna Margulies), we’re reflecting back on the amazing style choices she’s made all season thanks to the show’s amazing costume designer Daniel Lawson. He’s the one who decked out Mrs. Florrick in Emilio Pucci, Giorgio Armani, Prada, Alexander McQueen, and more—all for the sake of the drama-ridden storylines. “She’s been doing more ensembles this season, which gives a nod to her making partner and making more money,” Lawson explains. “That means looking more put together than previous seasons.” Click through the gallery to review 91 looks seen in The Good Wife’s fourth season, and tune in to CBS tonight at 9/8c to watch the finale.

Picture This: Zac Efron Rolling in the Dirt for His New Film At Any Price

Apr 26, 2013 @ 11:45 am

Zac Efron’s newest film At Any Price hits a theater near you today—and get ready to feast your eyes on a different side of the heartthrob. The film is a modern reinterpretation of Death of a Salesman, in which Efron plays Dean Whipple, the son of a farmer (played by Dennis Quaid) in a rural Iowan town who rebels by taking up a love for race car driving. Dean races on dirt figure-8 tracks, which meant Efron’s wardrobe required a bit of roughing up before stepping into the zone. “We would find old racing T-shirts for me at Goodwill, thrift shops, people’s closets, or we just went to the real races and saw what guys were wearing and just borrowed their clothes, then I would go roll around in the dirt and mud,” Efron told InStyle.com at a New York screening of the film. “I’d just wear ‘em over the weekend and go try to work on cars and stuff like that.” Now isn’t that a sight worth imagining? Click here to find out where At Any Price is playing near you.

Watch Gwyneth Paltrow Hilariously Explain Her Scandalous Wardrobe Malfunction

Apr 26, 2013 @ 10:20 am

Gwyneth Paltrow, officially the world’s most beautiful woman, turned heads when she stepped onto the red carpet at the Iron Man 3 premiere this week in an Antonio Berardi dress with sheer vertical paneling along the sides exposing all her bits and pieces. Yesterday, she explained her controversial style choice on Ellen, where both she (in Proenza Schouler) and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres had giggle fits over Gwyneth’s admission that, because of the placement of the sheer fabric, she “kind of had a disaster.” No spoilers here—you’ll have to watch the clip above to find out just what nearly went wrong with Paltrow’s dress—but Gwyneth finishes the story by admitting, “I went from the most beautiful to the most humiliated in one day.” And this kind of look isn’t just for big movie stars anymore: Both Berardi’s original runway design (which is two-piece) and Paltrow’s full-length version will hit modaoperandi.com today at noon; the gown for $4,660 and the shorter skirt-top combo for $1,480 (skirt) and $1,580 (top). Watch the clip above and decide if Gwyneth’s risky style move is one you’d want to take.

Robert Downey Jr. Hangs Out with the World’s Most Beautiful Woman, and More Parties!

Apr 25, 2013 @ 2:30 pm

Gwyneth Paltrow (in Antonio Berardi) made her first appearance after being named People’s Most Beautiful Woman at the Hollywood premiere of Iron Man 3, where she was joined by co-star Robert Downey Jr. “I’m more in proportion now than I was when I was 20, so I feel better in a bathing suit now than I did before I had kids,” Paltrow told People of how she views herself now that she’s 40. “But I think one of the most beautiful things about growing up is this self-acceptance that starts to happen.” And she certainly showed it last night, in Berardi’s daring dress with sheer vertical paneling on the sides. The latest in the Iron Man trilogy opens nationwide May 3. Click the photo to see more of the week’s parties!

Is Kate Middleton’s Pastel Blue Dress an Indication She’s Having a Boy?

Apr 25, 2013 @ 1:40 pm

Could Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge be sending the world a message with her wardrobe? If you flip back through the catalog of her maternity style choices so far, you might note that she has steered away from the pale pink Wickstead frock she wore nearly a year ago, focusing on more masculine hues like blue, green, and gray. Yesterday was the biggest clue, when she stopped by a reception at the London Portrait Gallery to celebrate The Art Room charity in a pastel blue Emilia Wickstead dress. Could the color of her frock be a subliminal message on the gender of her forthcoming child? You never know! Click the photo to see more of her maternity looks.

#ThrowbackThursday: Sarah Jessica Parker Sits Poolside on InStyle’s June 1995 Cover

Apr 25, 2013 @ 11:29 am

Before she was Carrie Bradshaw and “SJP,” Sarah Jessica Parker was an up and coming 30-year-old actress with a head full of curly hair and a contagious grin. For today’s #ThrowbackThursday on InStyle’s Instagram, we’re looking back at our Hollywood’s Best Bodies issue from June 1995, when the toned star had some progressive thoughts on her workout routine: namely, that she didn’t have one at all. “I hate to think that the first thing people think of is my figure, but I guess it’s easier to have a relaxed attitude about one’s body if people say you have a nice one,” Parker told InStyle. “What I really thank God for every day is that I’m healthy. People should do things that make them feel good.” Amen to that!
