Throughout Sex and the CitySarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie made Manolo Blahnik part of her daily lexicon, and now we get to see how her love affair with fancy footwear began. On tonight’s new episode of The Carrie Diaries, the young Carrie (AnnaSophia Robb) receives her first pair of Manolos, a scene so momentous, costume designer Eric Daman had to find just the right pair of shoes. His pick—a pointed-toe green lime green design embellished with gemstones. “I totally fell in love with the velvet and pearl,” Daman told InStyle.com of the heels. “They’re so ‘80s aspirational.” And in order to get them just right, he had to call in a special order. “We had to have Carrie’s first Manolos custom made in Italy to fit AnnaSophia Robb’s petite feet.” A shoe match made in heaven! Watch Carrie slip into her first pair of Manolos when The Carrie Diaries airs tonight at 8/7c on The CW.

Singer Rita Ora on Her Style: “I Mix It Up”

Oct 10, 2012 @ 4:51 pm

Rita Ora is pop’s new party girl—just listen to her hit “How We Do”—and her style reflects her fun music. “My music has so many varieties; it’s a little bit for everyone, and I mix my outfits in the same way,” the British singer told InStyle.com at the Absolut Tune launch in New York. “Sometimes I come out looking kind of boyish, like tonight, and sometimes I come out looking like a complete hip-hop ’90s baby, complete with beanie.” Menswear-inspired or not, the look was all designer, including an Emilio Pucci jacket, Roberto Cavalli blouse, Wes Gordon leggings, and Manolo Blahnik pumps, and Jennifer Fisher rings. Overall, though, she said: “My style is always different.

Sarah Jessica Parker on Glee: Sneak Peek!

Sep 26, 2012 @ 5:05 pm

Carrie Bradshaw—err—Sarah Jessica Parker returns to primetime television tomorrow night on Glee! And we couldn’t be more excited. Eight (really!) long years after Sex and the City bid airwaves adieu in 2004, SJP is back as a high-fashion magazine editor (sound familiar) and mentor to her new intern, Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer). While we can’t say for sure whether her character Isabelle Wright will be strutting around in Manolos or a nameplate necklace, we can confirm that she is officially adorable in this teaser clip. The scene features Isabelle and Kurt’s first meeting, where the two fashion gurus bond over Breadsticks and Kurt’s unique fashion sense. Tune in: SJP’s multi-episode arc beings tomorrow (September 27) at 9/8c on FOX.

Plus, see Glees best-ever guest stars—including latest addition, Kate Hudson!
