Best Dressed Of The Week, Cannes 2011

So who made the Vogue.com 10 Best Dressed Of The Week List
for the week ending May 18th?

This time they looked at the 64th annual Cannes Film Festival

Ines de la Fressange in Carven with a Roger Vivier clutch and shoes.

I'm kinda over the all black thing, especially in the warmer months.
However, I do just love Ines!

Tilda Swinton in an Haider Ackermann dress and an Olympia le Tan clutch.

No word on the shoes - YSL?
Look how white she is! I actually think this may be one of my favorite looks on her.
Fabulous.

Natalia Vodianova in Calvin Klein
Ethereal.
Maybe its just the shot, but she is looking a little sickly thin?

Astrid Berges-Frisbey in Chanel Haute Couture

I love her name and I love her look!
Labeled a french/spanish actress (I think she hails from Barcelona?), she is only 16 years old.
And she looks age appropriate and perfect.
And the shoes!!

My personal red carpet favorite from the list, looking like a hot slice of perfect, the uber sexy Uma Thurman in Versace



LOVE the dress, love the hair, love the makeup, love the earrings.
She is fantastic!

Penelope Cruz Covers US Vogue June 2011 and British GQ June 2011

Penelope Cruz is everywhere right now with the imminent release of
Pirates of The Caribbean On Stranger Tides.

Here are two covers that she is gracing for June 2011.

First up American Vogue June 2011, shot by Mario Testino

Do you love??? 
Testino gave her a fresh faced, touchable look, so translucent that you can see her freckles.
The image was leaked via Tumblr by Stefano Gabbana of Dolce and Gabbana, who dressed Cruz for the shoot.
You would never guess she had just had a baby!

How fabulous is she in this Dolce and Gabbana bodysuit?
Would you not just die to have that body suit? Or a body like that. 
(For me that's a "yes" on both counts!)
How furious do you think Anna Wintour is with Stefano for leaking his advanced copy??
Also in June Penelope Cruz covers British GQ magazine, with a much different look.


Shot by Mario Sorrenti, this time Cruz rocks her inner vamp, looking drop dead sexy.
In the accompanying interview she talks about working with both Rob Marshall (love him!) 
and Johnny Depp whom she is great friends with and who she first worked with on the movie Blow.

The photospread inside is sensational

B-B-B-Bombshell!!

Which cover do you like best??

Tom Ford - How To Be A Modern Gentleman

Ciao Tutti!

I'm in Italia at the moment. Instead of posting this when it first came out, I decided to hold on to it until now.
As with all things Tom Ford, it just gets better with time, so I'm going to enjoy re-reading it, in the piazza with a cafe americano...


Tom Ford.
I swear he is the sexiest man-beast on earth.


He's on the cover of the current AnOther Magazine and inside he has a fabulous chat with Jefferson Hack, about his Five Easy Lessons In How To Be A Modern Gentleman.

Here they are:

1.)You should put on the best version of yourself when you go out in the world because that is a show of respect to the other people around you.

2. A gentleman today has to work. People who do not work are so boring and are usually bored. You have to be passionate, you have to be engaged and you have to be contributing to the world.

 3. Manners are very important and actually knowing when things are appropriate. I always open doors for women, I carry their coat, I make sure that they're walking on the inside of the street. Stand up when people arrive at and leave the dinner table.

4. Don't be pretentious or racist or sexist or judge people by their background.

5. A man should never wear shorts in the city. Flip-flops and shorts in the city are never appropriate. Shorts should only be worn on the tennis court or on the beach.

Love him.

My Goodness, My Guinness (via StyleCave)

I'm in Italy today, so I have a guest blog for you from one of my absolute favorite blogs, the very, very fabulous StyleCave.

I am intrigued by Daphne Guinness, and wanted to make sure you got to see these gorgeous images, and read these lovely words...

My goodness, my Guinness!

I didn't know that she married at 19. I didn't know she had three children and i didn't know that her eldest son dated Paris Hilton. I didn't know she produced films and don't recall her childhood memories of swimming for countless hours in Salvador Dali's lobster infested pool. It seems, i don't really know anything about Daphne Guinness.




She's heiress to an aristocratic legacy- that, i do know and am fairly familiar with her unapologetic flamboyance and brashly extravagant love for couture. But what is her job title exactly? With this ambiguous fumble, I'm retreating swiftly back onto uncharted territory, questioning words such as model? socialite? stylist? designer? muse? But does it really matter? With her affluent faculty, enviable wardrobe and iconic persona, Daphne Guinness has a license to venture.

In the loosest terms i have generously branded her an "icon"; dictionarily defined as "a representation of some sacred personage". Does she follow the narrative? not strictly, but in vulgar modern ideology she is, in part, a "sacred personage". Her adherent dedication to the art of couture is not only influential but admirable at least. She devotes herself wholeheartedly to projecting a portrait of creativity, subconsciously acting as a vessel for true designing talent. 





She may fit many arguable subtitles but Daphne Guinness is NOT just a clothes-horse, despite avidly championing high fashion artistry. Alexander McQueen was among her closest friends and she would often, publicly advocate his designs and continues with the creative promotion, even after his death, leaving a lasting trail of tributes with every step she takes. Notably adding to her couture catalogue, last year she adopted the remaining entirely of Isabella Blow's wardrobe. It was an act which, at first evoked bewilderment, but is now rightfully perceived as commendable; Daphne not only strengthened her integral bond with the fashion world but, most poignantly, she heroically salvaged something which defined Issie's little dent upon the world. 


Admittedly, Daphne Guinness is no stranger to provocative commentary (many may recall an incident in which she, may or may not, have called Victoria Beckham "an ugly pig ") Nevertheless, her tabloid exploits are just a small excerpt of her unfolding biography. She's so much more than we could humanly identify with and will, undoubtedly, continue to evolve.


To be honest, i might not know much about Daphne Suzannah Diana Joan Guinness but i do know that she's open to interpretation. 



What was so incredible about him was he could do the simplest things and the most complicated things. He was a proper genius, and that is a very overused word. If he’d done art, he would have been the best; if he’d done architecture, he would have been the best.” (Daphne on McQueen)

Gaga Covers Bazaar May 2011

I've never  been a fan, but I am starting to just love this girl's crazy creativity.

Isn't she fun??
Lady Gaga covers Harpers Bazaar May 2011 issue.


Styled by  Nicola Formichetti and photographed by creepy Uncle Pervy himself, Terry Richardson.


When asked about the horns she's been wearing ever since the Grammys, 
Gaga tells interviewer Derek Blasberg

“Well, first of all, they’re not prosthetics. They’re my bones. They’ve always been inside of me, but I have been waiting for the right time to reveal to the universe who I truly am. They come out when I’m inspired.”

Lordy she's fun! And have you noticed how beautiful she is underneath all the crazy getups she wears?

Kim Kardashian Covers Cosmo Turkey???

Uh oh Cosmo - looks like you made a super sonic ethnic faux pas here!!

Armenian beauty Kim Kardashian graces the cover of Turkish Cosmo this month, a source of great distress to her, and no doubt her family.
April 24 marks the day Armenians honor those who were lost to genocide at the hands of the Turks, making an April cover even more of an insult.

The pictures are part of an international Cosmo shoot, but Cosmo were supposed to clear with Kim which international editions would have her face on them before going to print.

Cosmo really dropped the ball by not understanding the greater global cultural sensitivities. I'm sure the Turkish people will not be thrilled either.

Way to go Cosmo...

Rihanna Covers Rolling Stone Magazine

Yet another cover for Rihanna.


My favorite of her's this season has been the Vogue cover 
(see post here), however, once again she's rocking what she's got and looking caliente.


Inside she talks about that girl beating bozo she used to date, Chris Brown:


“We don’t have to talk again ever in my life. I just didn’t want to make it more difficult for him professionally. What he did to me was a personal thing—it had nothing to do with his career. Saying he has to be a hundred feet away from me, he can’t perform at awards shows — that definitely made it difficult for him. That was the only thing it was going to change, so I didn’t care. But you can never please people. One minute I’m being too hard, and the next minute I’m a fool because I’m not being hard enough.” 

Days before the 53rd annual Grammy Awards, February 13th, Rihanna allowed for the restraining order against Chris Brown to be eased. Chris Brown went to court late January to reduce the restraining order from “stay away” to “do not annoy.” 

(It doesn't count that I personally find him completely annoying)

Anyway, she is looking gorgeous!

Selah Marley Teen Vogue

You could say that Selah Marley was destined for something special.
Daughter of Lauren Hill and granddaughter of Bob Marley (father is Marley's son Rohan), Selah is finding her way to the spotlight, at only 12 years old.


A straight A student who plays violin, piano, basketball and does gymnastics and ballet, Selah is now adding modeling to her youthful resume, with her Teen Vogue debut.
 Read her Teen Vogue interview and story here


Remember the gorgeousness that was Lauren Hill?


 No wonder Selah has modeling in her future - look at her mother!

Her Album The Miseducation Of Lauren Hill is still one of my all time favorites
