How to Get Katherine Heigl’s Half-Moon Manicure

Jan 25, 2012 @ 5:35 pm

Katherine Heigl worked a glamorous half-moon manicure in a deep wine hue at the New York premiere of her new film One for the Money last night. The retro-inspired style may seem challenging, but you can create the look at home with two of your favorite nail polish shades, using a few French manicure tip stickers to keep your lines neat. No time to watch paint dry? Grab a set of Dita Von Teese’s half-moon press-ons! The burlesque star designed a glue-on nail kit for Kiss nails ($10 at dita.net), which looks very similar to Heigl’s half-moon mani.

Dita Von Teese Wears JPG Dress Twice in One Week

Nov 14, 2011 @ 3:30 pm

Dita Von Teese showed up to the MOCA Annual Gala in Los Angeles on Friday in an haute couture gown by Jean Paul Gaultier—the same look she wore three days earlier for the opening of the designer’s exhibit in Dallas. Why twice in one week? “When a dress costs as much as a Mercedes, you want to wear it more than once,” she told InStyle.com at the L.A. event. “This is my favorite dress in the world. I’ve worn it about four times. This actually belongs to me.” And she’s eager to let you know you can do the same with your formal looks, too. “I don’t agree that you can only wear things once,” she explained. “I think when you have something you really love, there should be nothing that stops you from enjoying it!” Tell us: Do you agree?

Nov 13, 2011 @ 2:00 pm

Jean Paul Gaultier’s first-ever exhibit, The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk, has just landed at the Dallas Museum of Art after a four-month stint in Montreal. The show features costumes worn by the French couturier’s most famous celebrity clientele—like Madonna‘s Blond Ambition tour corset and Dita Von Teese‘s bustier dress—along with pieces donned by Naomi Campbell, Rihanna and Sarah Jessica Parker. “Gaultier wanted his exhibition to reflect the energy of a catwalk show,” says Kevin W.Tucker, the curator of Decorative Arts and Design at the DMA. And it does!

WHERE TO FIND IT: The Dallas Museum of Art is located at 1717 North Harwood in Dallas. Call 214-922-1200 or visit dm-art.org for tickets and info. The exhibit will remain in Dallas through February 12th, and will then travel to the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco next, where it is set to open March 24th.

First Look: Dita Von Teese’s New Perfume

Sep 21, 2011 @ 4:50 pm

Although Dita Von Teese’s first signature fragrance isn’t due out until early next year, the just-released ad campaign provides a first glimpse of what we can expect. Basically, it’s bound to be sultry, just like her. “I want to evoke passion with fragrance…intense love/lust and distaste/fear rather than merely popular acceptance,” Teese hinted in a Tweet when she announced her new beauty project this year. The perfume contains notes of Bulgarian rose, fizzy bergamot, fresh peonies, and fresh jasmine, and is packaged in black glass with an atomizer. Tell us: Will you be buying a bottle?

First Look: Dita Von Teese’s Glue-On Nails for Kiss!

Jul 21, 2011 @ 3:05 pm

Long before Behnaz Sarafpour and Jason Wu brought the reverse French mani roaring back into fashion, Dita Von Teese had perfected the look. “In the 30s, they created this style so red polish wouldn’t chip off at the tips,” said the milky-faced Burlesque star, who is launching a glue-on version of her iconic red and white mani with Kiss this fall (see a preview at right). So what does Dita think of all the attention moon manis are getting these days? “I don’t follow trends,” she told us at a Cointreau event yesterday, coquettishly sipping a “Marga-Dita” cocktail. “Since I was 20 years old, bitches been stealin’ my look.”
