What’s the secret behind Tilda Swinton‘s red-carpet style? She’s comfortable in whatever she wears! “I wouldn’t dream of describing my style,” the actress told InStyle.com at this year’s Golden Globes. “One man’s risk taking is another man’s comfort zone. I mean, nobody can really claim to be a risk taker. You just do what you feel comfortable in.” Swinton also said she draws style inspiration from androgynous icons like “Grace Jones and, of course, David Bowie.” Take a look at some of her avant-garde choices above—from left, Haider Ackermann, Lanvin, Haider Ackermann and Yves Saint Laurent)—and see the rest of this year’s Golden Globes arrivals in the gallery.

Last night, we popped by J.Crew’s spring preview and after drooling over the relaxed-meets-glamorous collection—sequins! bucket hats! maxi skirts!—we spoke with the company’s president and creative director, Jenna Lyons. Since tons of celebrities have worn J.Crew’s super-stylish and affordable pieces, we wondered if Jenna had any recent favorites. “Christina Ricci just wore [one of our dresses] to the ACE awards and looked unbelievable. I knew she was cute, but in person she’s unbelievably cute. And, of course, Michelle Obama.” Find out which other stars Jenna dreams of dressing after the jump!

Tilda Swinton’s I Am Love Cinematic Style

Jun 18, 2010 @ 11:20 am

She’s known for her bold red-carpet style, but in the emotionally charged drama I Am Love, which hits select theaters today, Tilda Swinton adopts a more classic look for her role. Set in Milan, the film generated buzz in the fashion world when Jil Sander’s Raf Simons took on the project. Says the Belgain designer: “The clothing perfectly defines Tilda’s character [Emma], a woman who longs to break out of her world of superficial perfection.” The British actress gave us her take on the collaboration: “Through the use of color, Emma stands apart as a potentially rogue element, a molten spirit, but still makes sense within the milieu. Simons’s sense of color is supersonic, bright as a daisy. The cut of his clothes makes him an absolute sculptor.” The tomato red sheath (left) made such an impression that it is being specially produced for jilsander.com. Click on the gallery to see more of Simons’s designs from the film.

Tilda Swinton’s New Fragrance Smells Like Christmas

Mar 16, 2010 @ 11:00 am

Was actress Tilda Swinton‘s hair color the inspiration behind her new scent? Swinton told WWD that her fragrance, called Like This, contains notes of ginger, a taste and smell she loves. Coincidence? Maybe, but we still can’t wait to get a whiff of the the scent, which also boasts notes of tangerine, pumpkin, vetiver and musk. “My son tells me [Like This] smells like Christmas,” she said. Like This, which is named after a work by 13th-century poet Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Balkhi, is coming to the U.S. this June.
