Style.com put all kinds of supermodels around a table to see what gems they came up with about the modelling industry and see what wisdom women like Lauren Hutton could impart on the younger girls
Apparently there was a lot of awkwardness between Naomi Campbell and Paulina Porizkova ...
Paulina: But it's not the tight cliques anymore, which in a way is good, too, because if you were not part of the clique you were definitely left out.
Naomi: I don't think so. I loved being part of a group of girls. It was so supportive.
Paulina: You were in a clique, Naomi
... this doesn't appear on the video but according to sources, definitely happened, and as Jezebel reports, apparently the video is edited so the two don't talk much at all.
It seems Paulina is rather vocal, talking to young sensation Karlie Kloss about starting in the modelling world too young, 15 or 16, and Lauren Hutton saying how bad it is none of the young girls take holidays. Check it out for yourself.

Julia and the 60 watt smile

It's kind of weird hearing this come from me ... but I think Julia Roberts needs her teeth bleached.
GASP! I can't believe I just said that.
It's her own fault. She must have had them bleached long ago, in her mega-famous phase, so I'm used to seeing that utterly perfect smile beam at me supersized from the cinema screen. And now that the bleach has worn off, well, she doesn't quite look like her bazillion-dollar self, does she?
Sorry Jules, I usually hate celebs having work and really, good on you for NOT doing the upkeep. Here's to celebrities keeping it real.
On that note ... did anyone watch the 60 minutes story with Dr Frederic Brandt? The renowned dermatologist with his own skincare line that I've always thought to be a great doctor and I find out on Sunday night that he looks like a freak!
Cheek implants, Botoxed to the hilt, Restylane in lips ... all of it done so OTT it's horrendous. And apparently he's Madonna's doctor. Eeeew. I wouldn't let him touch my face with a 10 foot pole, let alone a pointed needle.

And this is a few years ago, when he's powdered and made up for the camera. Now he looks even worse.
Lauren does David Letterman. Not like that.

Note well: I'm not a massive fan of Lauren Conrad. I mean, I like her, and I love The Hills. I'm a rather vocal supporter of Lauren's feud with Heidi (cause Heidi fricking deserves it!). But you know, I can take Lauren or leave her, it's not like she's a talented actress or anything.
Which is why it's so surprising that I'm finding myself a wee bit envious of the dress she wore on the David Letterman show. It's gold, but not too gold, more a cool dull metallic and screams "I left my hit TV show in it's prime and I don't give a flying fuck what anyone thinks!"
Good on her. That's what I did with my job and while it takes guts, the pay off for taking control and having a real life is really worth it at the end of the day.
Can we talk about her hair for a second? It's seriously the first time anyone's ever gotten extensions right.
Maybe leaving The Hills is the beginning of Lauren Conrad, actual fashion person, rather than the pretend fashion person she's been up until now.
And if that's the case, I'm all for it. Even if her leaving will spell the end of The Hills and I'll be forced to watch bitchface Kristen Cavilleri prance about like she owns The Hills with Speidi. Vomit.
Bring on The City!
Trend I won't be trying anytime soon

Hmmm, not really sure how gold sequin pants work in any wardrobe really, even Eva Herzigova's. How can they possibly be flattering when they tick all the wrong boxes:
- a light colour = more size
- reflective = more size
- little bits hanging off = extra bulk
What they needed, to really succeed and earn a permanent place in Eva's wardrobe, was a silky black singlet with a bubble hem (simple but shapely) and some fierce, black gladiator heels to take away from the "I should be tapdancing on stage in these" feeling.
Kate Hudson in her gym outfit
The perfect transeasonal day outfit

So I've been trying to fight it, but this shot just proves I need to dig out my old denim jacket from the wardrobe trenches. It's going to work fabulously for your transeasonal dressing and in particular with a mini dress or shorts. DON'T wear with a long dress, that's the old way to wear it. DO wear with sharp pieces; body con dresses; ankle boots; tights.
The other trend from this shot that continues to pervade my thoughts are those grey boots.
Ankle or knee high, suede or plain leather, flat or high heeled ... it doesn't really matter. Grey is the new neutral when it comes to boots. Head to Midas for some cool scrunch knee-highs on sale, or Mollini for Nicole's ankle look here.
What else has she done fantastically in this picture? Gone and found the perfect blend of the Rayban Wayfarer + big round sunglasses. The girl is a treasure trove for style.
Wear this outfit to:
- a casual lunch
- day out with the man
- shopping
- to the movies

Who needs a makeover most?
I know a girl who dresses like this. She's about 18 and she looks hot, albeit slightly tarty, but still young and gorgeous.
Pammy, on the other hand, just looks old. Old and haggard and really done .... even more so cause she won't give it up.
GIVE IT UP PAMMIE, SCROLL DOWN AND SEE WHAT YOUR FELLOW 40-SOMETHINGS ARE WEARING AND HOW MUCH HOTTER THEY LOOK!
Seriously, I don't know how she just doesn't get the message.
What to wear this weekend
First look at Gossip Girl spin off!



First look at Gossip Girl's spin off which goes into the life of Lily van der Woodsen! Stars Brittney Snow (not sure how much I love her) and spins from Episode 11 of the new series, not yet shown in Oz.
Can't wait to check it out but not sure I'll love it as much as the original. Then again, I did say that about Melrose Place ...
Beauty Wars: Sarah Jessica Parker vs Kylie

It seems that SJP is reluctant to act her age. I'm not talking about her style - this dress is goregous and she's got the body of a 15-year-old, she can wear anything she wants! No ladies, it's more about the makeup.
When one reaches a certain age, it's important to change your look in a different direction so that it continues to be flattering. To suit you. To project an image that is softer, that doesn't age and isn't too harsh. It's extremely hard to break a lifetime of beauty habits - always painting your face in the same way is both easy and addictive, so I understand for SJP that switching makeup is a big call. But it can end up taking years off your face.
Lesson # 1: Dark eyeshadow ages you. The more you apply, the more visible the lines around your eyes, the more you look like you're trying to hold onto your youth when clearly that was long ago.
SJP hasn't learned this yet. But guess who has?

Kylie, of course. Look how young and fresh-faced she looks with her barely-there makeup - yes, you can bet she's wearing some, we just can't see it. The ultimate trick in looking younger. All you need is a good base, some mascara, a rosy cheek and slick of lipgloss. The proof is in the pudding!
Kylie never fails, she's always streets ahead of other celebrities when it comes to beauty (remember that green eyeshadow in her Light Years days) and literally zooms past the competition when it comes to fashion. This outfit is a prime example: young and fresh, but somehow mature enough for a 40-year-old. Sophisticated with the satin peep toe, but on-trend with the roll up jean. Relaxed and dressy at the same time. I dare say this is the perfect outfit.
Oh Kylie, we do love you!
Polished, in a nutshell

How remarkably crisp does the French first lady, former supermodel, Carla Bruni look? Just the thing for popping into a ladies luncheon or perhaps chair a charity board.
It looks like she's wearing a basic wide neck LBD, and has then tied a mini white shirt over the top. Clever, clever thing. Opting for the dress rather than a high waisted skirt leaves no room for messy lines at the waist. Everything is long, lean and seam free.
Copy this look for a job interview and you'll be buying lunch again in no time.

Leighton Meester and the Giant Chloe Peach
How much do I love this girl? Quite a lot really. Well, if you're being picky it's actually her character Blair, on Gossip Girl that I'm obsessed with. And she's really coming into her own style wise.
This peachy cream dress by Chloe is blending so nicely into her complexion and all swings rather dashingly with that golden skin (fake tan, I'm sure, she's usually whitey white). And the shoes! Only a young starlet can get away with these ... you almost want to put them in a glass box on a shelf in the living room for people to admire.
Normally I wouldn't be a fan of wearing a colour so close to your skin tone it almost blends (Nicole Kidman always does this with non-complimentary results) but Leighton somehow pulls it off. I think it may be because the hole on her stomach is less obvious, and only there when you look closely, so all the more sexy.
What I'm not loving: her new penchant for under-eye makeup which I'm sorry to report brings her whole look down. Some girls can do this look - they've usually got razor sharp cheekbones and almond shaped eyes. But Leighton's whole face is round, so she needs to concentrate on pulling her makeup up and out to the sides - create the almond, don't shadow it.
Mary Kate redeems herself
This really only makes her worn, flat moccassins even more confusing the other day (scroll down for the out-of-character weirdness). This is the MK I love - dazzling in a beaded black dress, customized with a black belt, big fuck off rings all over her fingers, hot strappy shoes and a surprising red clutch.
It has everything - shine, glamour, glorious individuality and a mature elegance that is way beyond her 22 years.
Glean from MK: head to Diva or Equip and stock up on oversized rings. The fastest (and cheapest) way to update your look right now.
Relaxed dressing with Katie Holmes

I'm excited. Yes, yes I am. See, even though Katie Holmes still dresses about 10 years older than she should, her face is so fresh in this shot. She looks clean and healthy. Her skin is glowing, her hair is shiny and that might even be a genuine smile, if I'm not mistaken.
I would ask her to take her pants in a little, so they were more fitted and showed off that incredible body of hers. But that's all. She's managed to dress herself with style, grace and class - all by her lonesome. If only she did this more often. Effort, without too much effort really shows in her much more relaxed face.
Wear this look if you: have long legs, love wearing high heels, can do no bra.
Don't attempt if none of the above apply.
MIscha, Mental As Anything
No, you say, she went to rehab, she's all clean now.
Oh. Then she has absolutely no excuse.

Hef and the Playboy Dummies

I'm sorry but he is just repulsive. Eeeew. His last paid lot of girlfriends left him, so he rings in a new bunch of even younger blondes. This is just not normal. If he was a woman surrounded by young hot men, can you imagine the reaction? There would be uproar.
Personally, I think there should be just as much uproar about Hef and the way he leads his life. It's reprehensible, especially the fact that people now look up to those dumb bunnies! What kind of message are we sending?
What else isn't normal? How all their hair is the exact same shade of blonde. Is it like, Playboy Blonde or something? 'Scuse me while I go throw up.
Wedding perves - Speidi and Salma
Is MK really wearing those shoes?

Um. I'm not sure how to handle this. Mary Kate Olsen, owner of one of the world's best shoe collections and style icon to many, has opted for ... comfort.
Are they really flat moccassins? And, shock horror excuse me while I cough in disbelief, but are they ... worn? As in worn down. As in old. As in she's had these for a while at the back of her cupboard and wears them at home where our prying eyes can't see.
The most surprising part of this photo? She's smiling. Yes it's almost like an "okay you've caught me and I'm embarrassed" smile, much like the way she's covering whatever she's wearing underneath that coat. Dare I say we've caught Mary Kate on an off day.
It's so nice to see that even the most polished and thought out of style queens has an off day. Certainly makes me feel better on the days I dress when I'm PMSd!

Jessica Simpson and the fake-it-great outfit!

When I looked at this shot I found myself thinking wow, Jessica Simpson looks gorgeous. Fresh faced. Happy. Glowing. Great hair too and her outfit rocks - is she actually bang on trend? Leather jacket, cool scarf, studded bag, grey skinnies. This is progress!
And then I found this.

Amazing how one different angle can make all things change in an instant.
Hem your jeans Jess! Sure, a foot-grazing boot leg will make your legs look longer but if they're folding over on the ground, that's just plain sad. Here she was walking out of LA's hotspot Japanese restaurant, Katsuyas, with her mum and sister Ashley (looking way hotter, may I add).
Maybe if Jess, like everyone else but me, had the Shoe of the Season from YSL, she wouldn't have that problem. Surely her hems would lift with this platform!
I'm so in love with this shoe it isn't even funny anymore. In fact, it's getting sadder. Sure, I know that every cheap shoe shop and their dogs have done copies but it's not the same as real YSL, is it?
NO!
Drew's one fashion miss
How good has Drew Barrymore been looking lately? Utterly fantastic. So I don't want to bring her mojo down but this is a really good lesson for girls not blessed with long legs (also, I highly doubt anything I write will have any impact on Drew's mojo whatsoever).
This is why short girls shouldn't wear skirts/dresses that finish mid-calf. Never ever. Even if you're locked in a time machine and you come out in the 1940's and that's all there is to buy in the stores. Take the skirt up. Let the hem down. Do whatevever you have to do to make sure you're not wearing a mid-calf length dress, won't you? Especially with a shoe that goes all the way up your foot and cuts your legs off even more! It's like she's got a mirror that only shows herself from the waist up.
This applies to anyone 5"5 and under btw, anyone over that height can do what the bloody hell they want with their skirt hems, I don't give a hoot.
What is awesome about her look is that bright pink lip and messy updo. Try and rock that this Anzac Day and pour some sunshine into your weekend.

The Glossy Posse of The Hills

Goodness these girls are well groomed, aren't they? They're literally glistening from top to toe. Hair! Skin! Eyes! Teeth! Is there one body part they haven't dipped in shimmer? I think not. It doesn't help that four out of five are dressed in satin, does it?
Guess which one now lives in New York and is on a different show? Yes, it's Whitney, far right, the girl not wearing satin.
LA girls have a particular way of dressing. It's not necessarily on trend, they don't ever look really cool or fashiony, they don't pay a lot of attention to style, you know? They just wear what they think looks pretty. This could be a good or a bad thing, depending on which side of the fence you sit.
Me? I think Lauren looks good as always, Audrina is passable except for that awful clutch, but Lo really needs to just go home - her hair and her clutch are so daytime television. And Stephanie? Well, the only reason I'm not being a complete cow about her outfit is because she's Spencer's sister and has enough to put up with.

And the gold fashion star goes to ... the COAT!

Further to my prior posting about Uma's coat today, it's my absolute pleasure to present ... Eva's Coat!
Isn't she a beauty? It's so delectably gorgeous I want to put it in my handbag and stroke it on special occasions. Probably I wouldn't do that. Probably I would actually put it on, wear it with those exact shoes (because yes, I have them!), maybe blow dry my hair like Eva's and put lots of Palmer's Cocoa Butter on my legs.
Then I'd shine. Shine like a star.
A letter to E! News

Dear E! News,
I'm a fan of yours, a rather big fan actually. When my boyfriend's not around I watch you religiously. I love all your specials ... "10 hottest male bodies in Hollywood", "10 bitchiest blondes in Hollywood", plus all your True Hollywood Stories. Call me an obsessive fan, I don't mind, whatever.
But I've got to voice a complaint here. Your interviewer, on the weekend, was talking to Miley Cyrus. And they asked her advice when it comes to having a good relationship. HOLY F-ING BATMAN E! NEWS! Are you seriously taking dating advice from a 16-year-old spoilt brat who's never breathed a day of normality in her life and had her sweet sixteenth at fricking Disneyland with 2000 people???
Now, I love celebrities as much as the next person. More in fact. But this is going too far. You've officially lost it. I have a particular dislike of Miley that probably stems from her smug smile and the way her parents don't even bother to try and keep her in her youth. They're quite happy to push her on Britney's path. But I won't be a part of it.
And I certainly won't model my relationship on Miley's, I highly doubt that anyone over the age of 15 would actually listen to a word that comes out of her mouth.
Sorry for the explosive rant but this really got under my skin. Could you please brief your interviewers in future to ask questions better suited to the celebrity? I might have taken dating advice from Kyra Sedgewick, for example. She who has managed to keep a marriage together with Kevin Bacon for over 20 years in Hollywood. She would most likely have some wisdom to share about how to stay happy in a relationship.
Little Miley? She would only know how to stay happy at the mall.
Yours in celebrity-loving,
Nedahl
Debra Messing with bad straight hair

Er, this is what happens when you fight your natural curls. You end up with too-straight hair that is horribly dry on the ends and looks completely boring. I much prefer Debra with a bit of kink in those curls.
Ladies, take note: if you have curly hair, it's no use trying to make it completely straight - it might work for a while but will end up burnt and dry from all the irons you need to get it that way. Much better to stick some rollers in and smooth the curls out, so it's wavy and pretty and soft, y'know?
On another note, how fantastic is Uma's coat? Gorgeous. If you can't afford anything else this winter, get a coat in a great print that can stand on it's own.
I went to a wedding recently where a friend of mine's zipper broke on her dress, but her coat was so fabulous and fit so snugly that she just whipped off the dress and went on partying with just the coat to cover up. Her boyfriend was pleased!
Zac Efron does GQ
I apologise in advance for what I'm about to say but it just has to be said: Am I the only person who thinks Zac Efron looks like he's made from plastic? He's like a Ken Doll. All perfectly proportioned, with nothing in the slightest interesting about his face. Not my cup of tea ladies, and I usually do love a pretty boy!
Here is is on the cover of America's GQ magazine, looking slightly better 'cause at least they made him grow some stubble instead of his usual too-smooth, college boy, mumma's boy, can't-put-foot-wrong boy. No wonder Perez thinks he's gay. He's slightly too good to be true.

How not to wear a headscarf

Like Tara Reid. Honestly, the girl has no style sense and shouldn't ever try to look "trendy" (as she would say it).
Some pointers on headscarves:
Don't: wear at the front of your head and style hair forward over it. If scarf is at the front, your hair should stay behind.
Do: try the Axl Rose look, wrapping it around your forehead
Don't: wear a scarf that's a pretty version of the gang scarves from about eight years ago. Try a fresh new print with crisp colours, no pastels.
Do: Wear it a little thicker, and sitting slightly back off your hairline, so the end result is more polished.
Don't: Make it skanky like Tara, here at Coachella. Skanky hair + headband = bikie chick. And we all know how unpopular bikies are at the moment ...
Recessionista tip #1 The Ankle-Adornment

So you can't afford to buy into the new shoe trend? Who cares! You can do this new look yourself.
Step 1: Head to Lincraft, Spotlight or one of those crafty stores. Buy a piece of shiny vinyl or leather (depending on your budget), about 10cm x 40cm.
Step 2: Cut in half. Glue a piece of velcro down the short edges of the fabric.
Step 3: Wrap one half around your ankle, and fasten with velcro.
Step 4: Wear a pair of open-toed shoes you already have in your wardrobe.
Step 5: Team with a cool mini, like Fergie and strut your stuff.

Bikes are the new black

According to The New York Times, the big apple has taken to cycling in a rather endearing way since the recession hit. Quelle horreur! The bankers have had to give up their private car privileges!
I think NY is the perfect city to cycle around, the cars move so slowly there's no fear of being hit and going from downtown to uptown is just a short burst of energy away. Plus, I think we can all learn something from the Dutch, this being just one of them.
As with any new trend, the clothes one wears must change accordingly with one's transport. Here's The New York Times' vision of the modern day cyclist on his way to work. Somehow, I just can't see the men of Manhattan looking quite this ... snazzy.

Coachella - best and worst dressed
Coachella, the outdoor music festival in the US, which has really gathered speed in the last couple of years, was held on the weekend. And while the US isn't necessarily known for their music fests, Coachella is the one all the celebs go to. Festival season is pretty much over in Oz, but you can still get tips on what to wear to Glastonbury or Splendour for those lucky enough to be going later this year. Or just what to wear this weekend.
Cutest couple: Kate Bosworth & James Rousseau
Classic but cool, stylish but comfortable ... this is one outfit Kate can dance in all night. Love the nautical theme with the yellow shoe twist. Anyone predictable would have worn a white shoe, or if they were lashing out, a red one. But Kate's sun-bright sandals leave them eating her fashion dust. Just on eating: I'm highly doubtful that pizza is for her, I think possibly, just maybe, she's carrying it for her boyfriend while the cameras are around. Either that or they're going to share the one slice - model James doesn't exactly look like he scoffs a lot.
Best use of an old hanky: Kirsten Dunst
It's not like this is a bad dress. It's fine. I mean, if you like that lace-finish-on-hanky look. It's a bit last year though, when everyone was wearing these dresses which look like they've been made in Bali, with the cutouts and the embroidery. I think I just expect something a bit more from Indy Queen Kirsten.
Best Onstage outfit: M.I.A.
She seriously kicks ass in these jeans. Who else could rock them so well six weeks after having a baby?
Best vintage: Nicky Hilton
I didn't think I'd ever write the words "best" with "Nicky Hilton" in the same sentence, but this vintage shift is tres cute, and her braided hair is spot on. Perfect throwing-your-head-around-to-a-band-in-a-field-type hair. Though I can't imagine that's Nicky's thing.
Worst couple: Paris Hilton and Doug Reinhardt
Luckily, Paris keeps up tradition for what we've come to expect from the Hilton's style. The bikini top and long skirt combo is actually fine for day, but when she refuses to put a top on at night? Oh, so horribly obvious she just wants to show off. Not only that, but nobody should wear bronze ballet flats with this outfit, they're just a contradiction: bikini top should mean flat, open sandals. Nothing else. Together with her awful bronze bag, she's accessorised herself out of the fashion books. Please don't even let me get started on Doug or we may be here for a while. His shorts/shoe combo is just comical when he's walking around with the queen of matchy matchy.
Best jumpsuit: Cat Deeley
Cat Deeley shows off her festival fashion experience (being from the UK, she'd have grown up going to Glastonbury) and trumps the Yanks in a studded embroidery jumpsuit that looks rather Matthew Williamson to me. Her casual accessories and genuine laugh make this chick a favourite.
Most boring ass people to hang out with: Resse Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal
Is Reese seriously trying to jazz up her most-likely-from-Gap-and-so-oversized-safari-dress with those pink beads? She needs styling help, fast. This could have worked if it was shorter or tighter, or actually fit her. The hat and the glasses make her tiny-heart shaped face all scrunch down like she's fresh out of The Wizard of Oz. Not a good look. And Jake just loses points 'cause he let her leave the house like that. I'd hate to see her shoes. I bet they're loafers.
Most likely to be the next shooting starlet: Isabel Lucas with Zach Braff
Man, this girl knows how to network! Or is she just so gorgeous that famous men in Hollywood flock to her side? I think it's a bit of both. So far the ex-Home & Awayer has been seen with all the coolest up and comers in LA: Adrian Grenier, Shia Le Boeuf and now Zach Braff. Triple gold star Lucas. Love the oufit - she sticks to her boho roots with a soft floral skirt, plain white tee and flat suede boots. The hat and her satchel bag really work, nothing comes across as try-hard. I can't fault her. Plus, she drinks real Coke. Can someone give the woman a starring role please?!
Most surprising outfit: Dita von Teese
She's always so gorgeously attired, wearing pin thin Dior skirts and platform shoes, that I couldn't ever have imagined Dita doing casual. But here she is ladies, for all those other prim style lovers to glean from: this is how you do casual when you don't like wearing jeans or Erin Wasson-ripped-shorts. Love love her pretty dress, vintage glomesh bag, but most of all: those canvas sneakers. They say preppy casual in a way no other shoe can, don't they? Look and learn.
Most honest mistake: Kimberley Stewart
So she thought she was playing it safe, but let it be known that a black jumpsuit with a drawstring does absolutely nothing for flat chested women. It turns her into a pear, which Kimberley is most definitely not, and teamed with those heavy boots just drags her entire look down to the bottom half of her body, making it all just sink to the ground. One to watch out for, the drawstring. It creates gravity when there wasn't even any there.

Ashley Tisdale does good casual

A fresh new spin on the acid wash jeans look. Ashley teams hers with open-toed ankle boots and an anorak.
Perfect for: 1. Weekend lunches 2. Shopping trips 3. Hanging with your man 4. The movies.
Don't wear it: 1. Meeting his parents for the first time, they won't get the bleach-on-jeans thing 2. To a first date, he won't get the bleach-on-jeans thing.

Kate Moss Top Shop shots



If there has ever been a clear case of how much of a difference your hair makes to your face, this is it.
Kate Moss is looking old. I can't deny it anymore, her lifestyle is taking a toll on her face. What's making it worse though, is that haircut. It's terrible. Mumsy. Old. Too blonde, too saccharine, too sweet for her tried and tested rock goddess image. What was she thinking? She needs to grow out those layers and get back to her hot self. No wonder the only style we see her with on the street lately is a simple bun - she's trying to hide the horrid hair!
The other question I'm asking? Why is she suddenly feeling the need to take her clothes off to flog her fashion line? Is this state of undress really necessary? Do women buy clothes wondering how they'll look when they come off? Is this really a consideration when shopping? I think not. The shots look like they're made for men.


Which unfortunately, is not who her Top Shop range is aimed at.
The one great thing about these pictures is her newly rounded body. Actual proof that Kate Moss has curves. Proper ones. Yes yes, she's still a skinny minny, but she's definitely got a soft fleshy layer over those bones now. And about time too.
