Yes or No: Do You Bring Your Boyfriend Shopping? (Maria Menounos Says Yes!)

Mar 21, 2013 @ 6:10 pm

Does your other half come with you shopping? It’s a question we always wonder—especially when we see men awkwardly lingering outside the dressing rooms—and whenever we ask readers, the answers are mostly split. Some say leave ‘em home, while others say bring ‘em with you! Extra‘s Maria Menounos—the new ambassador for Marshall’s (the retailer’s new spring stock is in stores now)—says yes, he should tag along. “My boyfriend [Keven Undergaro] is the best because he will definitely tell me the truth,” she told InStyle.com. “And I like that he’s going to give me a guy’s perspective. Shopping with girls is tougher because we’re looking at it with one lens and that’s just ‘What Do We Think Is Cool.’ But really, women should be dressing for men more than they should be dressing for women.” But that’s just one opinion. What’s yours? Tell us by voting in the poll below!

Hello, Pierre Niney! Meet the Man Who Will Play Yves Saint Laurent

Mar 21, 2013 @ 5:50 pm

The Yves Saint Laurent film that will follow the late designer’s rise from Dior assistant to fashion visionary was only just announced, but already 18-year-old Pierre Niney has been cast as a young YSL. So, who is Pierre Niney? According to his Twitter (@pierreniney), the Frenchman describes himself as a actor, director, and author—a jack of all trades whose first language is the same as Saint Laurent’s. (Brownie points for authenticity.) He’s appeared in a impressive list of film festival-bound films, and photographs prove he can work Saint Laurent’s trademark thick-rimmed glasses with ease. The film is due out until 2014. Will you see it?

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge has the most enviable coat collection! While we always admire the expectant royal’s toasty toppers for their chic shapes and bold hues (we counted 13 in 2012 alone), we especially love the last four she’s worn out and about—emerald Emilia Wickstead for St. Patrick’s Day, rose-toned Joseph for a day at the races, cream Goat for a visit to Child Bereavement UK, and yesterday, aquamarine By Malene Birger to ride the tube. That’s why we’re asking you, dear readers, to vote: Which of Kate’s coats is your favorite? Tell us in the poll below!

Poll: What Do You Think of Dan Stevens’ New Brunette Hair?

Mar 18, 2013 @ 3:48 pm

He’s not Matthew Crawley anymore! Former Downton Abbey star Dan Stevens attended the GLAAD Awards this weekend, where he debuted a shorter brunette ‘do and some manly stubble to go with it—a far cry from the parted, slicked-back blonde hair and clean shave of Lady Mary’s late love (may he rest in peace). We love Stevens in all his forms (that accent helps), but tell us: Do you prefer Dan with his natural blonde hair, or are you loving the way this brunette chop makes his baby blues pop? (Swoon.) Vote in our poll below!

The season 2 finale of Girls is airing tonight at 9/8c on HBO! And it feels like we’ve been on quite a journey with the Girls this season, as they navigate young adulthood while living in the fine New York borough of Brooklyn. Question is, as Hannah (Lena Dunham), Marnie (Allison Williams), Jessa (Jemima Kirke), and Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet) continue to grow, who do you most relate to? Do you want to be a writer like Hannah, or are you a free spirit like Jessa? Maybe you’re like Shoshanna, who’s enjoying life as a co-ed with her older beau, or Marnie, who wants to be an artist so much, so goes so far as to strip down Kanye West songs at parties! Which Girl are you? Tell us in the poll below!

Is Kate Middleton Giving Birth to the Ultimate Power Girl?

When Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge visited the seaport town of Grimsby, England yesterday, she may have let it slip that she’s having a little baby girl, People reports. And that got us thinking, wouldn’t that be lovely? After all, the Palace changed the rules in 2011 to allow a first-born female to be the heir to the throne, which means the mixed chromosomes of Kate and Will would be more than a Princess, she’d be the Ultimate Power Girl. And she’d be impeccably dressed, with a fashion-loving mom to teach her the chic-but-not-overspending ways of Zara, Topshop, and Reiss. Plus, just think of the potential mommy-and-me outfits (as seen on another British mother-daughter-duo, Victoria and Harper Beckham). But that’s just our two cents. What do you think? Tell us if you think Kate’s having a boy or a girl in the poll below.
