Dita Von Teese’s Awesome Jewelry Storage Idea

Mar 31, 2011 @ 11:00 am

With all the gorgeous jewelry spotted on the red carpet, we’re often left wondering, where does it go? That’s what we asked Dita Von Teese when we caught up with her at Vivienne Westwood’s store opening in Los Angeles last night. “I designed a special edition jewel box for Cointreau [liquor],” Von Teese (in a Vivienne Westwood dress and Philip Treacy hat) told us. “I keep my jewelry in there, but I have a really big collection of jewelry, so I also took picture frames and padded them with red velvet and I pin all the brooches on it, so they make wall art.” What a crafty idea! Click through the gallery to see the rest of the Westwood party-goers—including Malin Akerman, Anna Kendrick, and Christina Hendricks, the face of Westwood’s Get a Life Palladium jewelry collection—and read some of their jewelry-storing tricks, too.

Celebrities have caught on to cobalt! Demi Moore wore the blue hue when she attended the Costume Designers Guild Awards in a strapless Vivienne Westwood gown last month, while Olivia Munn stepped out this weekend in an electric blue Marchesa dress belted with a matching sash. Abbie Cornish showed up to last week’s Sucker Punch premiere in a cobalt Amanda Wakeley frock, and Dita Von Teese stopped by Perez Hilton’s birthday bash on Saturday in a sequined Jenny Packham number. Would you wear this bold color? Tell us in the comments!

Helena Bonham Carter Pledges to Wear Matching Shoes to the Oscars

Feb 8, 2011 @ 2:08 pm

Helena Bonham Carter caused some eyebrow-raising when she showed up to the Golden Globe Awards last month wearing mismatched shoes with her Vivienne Westwood dress (shown). But at the Academy Awards Nominees Luncheon yesterday in Beverly Hills, she promised that won’t happen again. “I want to have fun,” said Carter of dressing for the awards show, where she is nominated this year for Best Supporting Actress for her role in The King’s Speech. “It’s going to probably be a catastrophe. But I’m going to go for it. I promise you, I’ll wear the same color shoes. But we’ll see.” Tune in to InStyle.com all of our Oscars night-of coverage Sunday, February 27th.

Alice Temperley Honored by Queen Elizabeth II

Jan 3, 2011 @ 1:21 pm

Just weeks after Kate Middleton wore a Temperley London dress out with Prince William, Queen Elizabeth II announced that Alice Temperley (the British designer behind the dress) made the annual Her Majesty’s 2010 New Year Honors List. We can’t help but wonder if one has to do with the other, but in any case, it’s great news for Temperley, who will receive the honor at a ceremony later this year. Other fashion industry recipients of the Queen’s honors this year include Tanya Sarne, founder of Ghost, and Mark and Mo Constantine, founders of Lush Cosmetics. These honorees join an established group: Past recipients of British Empire honors include handbag designer Anya Hindmarch, photographer Nick Knight, Vivienne Westwood and late designer Alexander McQueen.
