By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on January 14th, 2009

Tory Burch Obama merchandise.jpg

Inauguration fashion has always been a subject of interest. What will the first ladies wear? What will the daughters wear? But now you can think about what you’ll wear, even if you’re not invited to the inauguration.

A spate of designers are creating Barack Obama-themed merchandise to celebrate the inauguration, including Tory Burch with the tote seen.

Burch, Zac Posen, Diane von Furstenberg, Donna Karan and Alexander Wang have created merchandise to support the “Runway to Change” initiative launched during Obama’s presidential campaign. Items include a scarf from Wang, an “Obama” emblazoned tote from DVF and an Urban Zen T-shirt printed with “Inspire Change” on it by Donna Karan.

Designer pick of the week leather jacket.jpg

We’re always looking for a cool leather jacket. It’s a luxe basic that can be incorporated into any wardrobe, so this Aminaka Wilmont leather biker jacket 50% off for $997.50 in the Net-a-Porter sale will probably go quickly.

What will make it go quicker? An extra 20% off. This week just enter the code WINTERUSA through Sunday, January 18, to get the extra savings on all clearance items.

An asymmetric closure and notch collar keep the style modern, while the cropped silhouette is classic. To keep it really fashion forward, avoid a full-on biker look and wear your leather jacket with the unexpected – jeans are the easy way out.

Overheard at the Globes

By Andrea Thatcher on January 12th, 2009

Blake Lively Golden Globes.jpg

We were disappointed that when Blake Lively chose Nina Ricci she didn’t pick one of the more dramatic cutaway front dresses from Ricci’s runway. But apparently Blake was more disappointed that she might not be a size 0.

A Gossip Girl costume department worker let slip that they had to cut the sizes out of any samples that weren’t a size 0. It actually kind of looks like Lively might have been better off going with a 2 in this dress. When you’re one of the hottest girls on TV, who cares what size you are? Own it, Blake!

ShinyStyle Golden Globes Gallery: Pretty in pastels

By Kimberley Foster on January 12th, 2009

Dark hues may have been the choice for many starlets, but the Golden Globes were also awash with pastels too. Anyone might have thought it was spring by the way some celebs wore their pretty pale colours. Nudes, soft pinks, pale yellows and blues dominated as the likes of Angelina Jolie, Drew Barrymore and Salma Hayek took their turns in front of the cameras. [Photos: Jim Smeal/BEI/Rex Features]

Golden Globes 2009: a dark night

By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on January 11th, 2009

Golden Globes black dresses.jpg (Click image to enlarge)

One thing’s for sure, black wasn’t boring on the red carpet at tonight’s Golden Globe Awards. These three ladies stunned, shimmered and sparkled in dark, dramatic gowns. Evan Rachel Wood chose a different, tiered silhouette shot through with silver sequins and accessorized by her charming tattoo. Anne Hathaway wore a navy blue Armani Prive gown and simple earrings for a very classic, very old school Anne look. We knew Amy Adams (seen here with Darren Le Gallo) would be one of our favorites when we first saw her in the strapless Oscar de la Renta applique gown.

Golden Globes 2009: Reem Acra on a roll

By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on January 11th, 2009

Reem Acra Golden Globes dresses.jpg (Click image to enlarge)

Reem Acra dressed a bevy of ladies on the red carpet of the Golden Globe awards, including Olivia Wilde (House), Rumer Willis (Miss Golden Globe) and Eva Longoria, above. Wilde’s and Willis’ dresses are a bit similar, the same purple color family even. But Eva Longoria really stands out in a more structural red gown.

Inside the Golden Globes gift lounge

By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on January 11th, 2009

Looks like the economy has affected the Golden Globes even before the red carpet, at the gift lounges! Companies are giving away fewer freebies and fewer c’lebs are showing up to score free swag. Dog tags instead of diamonds? Beauty oil instead of a free trip? How will Hollywood survive?
