Gwenyth Paltrow has revealed her tips for versatile summer looks.
The ‘Iron Man’ actress – who has children Apple, seven, and Moses, five, with husband Chris Martin – has picked out for key pieces for the coming season, with tips on wearing them from day into night.
Writing in her GOOP newsletter, she wrote: “Dressed Up – Wear a long jersey dress with a silk blazer and statement sandals.
“Casual -Add a pop of colour with a neon tank underneath.”
The 37-year-old beauty’s next pick for the season was a beige Etoile Isabel Marant jacket.
She wrote alongside the garment: “The Short Flirty Jacket. Dressed Up – Take a jean skirt to work with high heel sandals, a statement jacket, and a satchel instead of a briefcase.
“Casual – The jacket travels poolside with a bright bikini and white jean shorts.”
Gyyneth went on to offer tips for accessorising a blue and white print Etoile Isabel Marant dress.
She said: “Dressed Up – Give a flowing printed dress some structure with a menswear-inspired blazer, a boxy purse and a leather belt.
“Casual – Mix your prints with a flowered dress, animal-inspired shoes and a striped sweater.”
Many a supermodel has fallen over on the catwalk – Naomi Campbell and Agyness Deyn to name a few.
However we have to spare a thought for poor 17 year old Lindsey Wixson who fell over not once, not twice, but three times during her short walk at the Fashion for Relief catwalk in Cannes earlier on this week.
The model’s falling fate seems to be down to the hem of her huge ballgown, which knocked her off her feet and onto all fours at the show. Not to be put off the fall the model bravely got up and gave the audience a thumbs up before falling again, and then again.
Princess Beatrice’s royal wedding hat has attracted a bid of £18,400.
The 22-year-old royal listed the bizarre Philip Treacy creation on auction website eBay in order to make money for the Little Bee Initiative, a charitable organisation set up by the princess to raise money for Children in Crisis and Unicef and she is astonished by the response so far.
Bidding on the hat – which has been compared with pretzels, spaghetti and toilet seats in spoof internet videos – was started by British businessman Duncan Bannatyne, best known for his role on UK TV show ‘Dragon’s Den’, who offered £5,000 within minutes of the listing going live.
Other high-profile bidders have included Australian children’s group The Wiggles, who offered to pay £17,500 for the headwear.
Blue Wiggle Anthony Field said: “We wear some pretty crazy costumes on stage, but this hat beats them all – it could bring about an Australian republic all by itself!
“When we heard about the auction we knew we had to bid – we’re ambassadors for Unicef and we think it’s great that Princess Beatrice has chosen to support children in great need.”
They also joked they would donate the accessory to the Australian cricket captain to use next time the team play England.
Anthony added: “We might give it to Michael Clarke to wear when he bats against the Poms next time – it would certainly distract the bowler.”
Speaking about the auction – which closes in four days time – Beatrice has said: “I’ve been amazed by the amount of attention the hat has attracted.
“It’s a wonderful opportunity to raise as much money as possible for two fantastic charities. I hope whoever wins the auction has as much fun with the hat as I have.”
The Royal Wedding turned us green with envy for two reasons. Firstly the fact that Kate Middleton had managed to bag herself her Prince Charming, and secondly Pippa Middleton’s toned figure.
However, while Kate isn’t giving us any tips on how to bag our prince, Pippa who has earned a dedicated Facebook page for her rear, as well as coming in as the /9 favourite with Paddy Power to win Rear of the Year, has decided to give us a helping hand to make our bottoms pert.
She’s said Pilates classes are a ‘weekly necessity’ to keep her ‘fit, happy and energized’.
In a statement on her local studio’s website, Pippa hailed the low-key workout as a ‘wonderful escape’ from life.
She added that going to regular weekly classes had also helped to achieve core strength and posture in just a ‘few months,’
‘From breathing techniques, muscle toning to overall flexibility and relaxation, my Pilates sessions have become something of a weekly necessity that keeps me fit, happy and energized,’ she added.
This year there’s one trend that’s really stood out on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet, and that’s the white dress. Whether long or short, these lovelies have been spotted on the likes of Cheryl Cole, Alexa Chung, Rachel McAdams and Uma Thurman at the event.
However, they were also a celebrity must-have long before these ladies channelled them at Cannes.
Earlier on in the month Florence Welch was spotted in a sleeved number at the Met Ball, while Jennifer Lopez showed off a short version of this trend on American idol. Penelope Cruz also opted for this hue at the UK premier of Pirates of the Caribbean, while Nicole Richie and Kim Kardashian wore this colour in style at other high profile events.
Cheryl Cole has reportedly received three movie offers in the US.
The ‘X Factor’ star is said to have impressed Los Angeles film bosses during her four-day appearance at the Cannes Film Festival in the south of France so much they have approached her about appearing on the big screen.
A source said: “It has been amazing to see the reception Cheryl has had after going to Cannes.
“As soon as she got back to America, people from California were getting in touch about having her in their films.
“When she went to the festival last year there was a lot of interest from the media but nothing like this kind of attention from movie companies. It just shows how quickly her profile has rocketed now she is on the US ‘X Factor’.”
Although Cheryl will be busy judging pop hopefuls on the panel of the Stateside version of Simon Cowell’s talent show, she is keen to try her hand at acting as soon as she gets the chance.
The source added to The Sun newspaper: “At the moment it’s just about sorting out when she can actually fit in any filming because her schedule is full until Christmas. She’s very keen though.”
It’s not just production companies who have taken notice of the 27-year-old singer – Angelina Jolie has apparently been praising Cheryl as well.
The actress told her fans she thought Cheryl was “very beautiful” and revealed she is “causing a stir” in the US.
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s fashion label The Row is successful because it is “timeless and directional”.
The 24-year-old twins – who have recently been nominated for Best Newcomer at the forthcoming CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) awards – have seen their upmarket range go from strength to strength since its launch, which Averyl Oates, buying director for Harvey Nichols, who stock the range, believes is due to its enduring appeal.
She said: “The label carries timeless generational appeal while still remaining directional.
“Mary-Kate and Ashley recently achieved their ambition of dressing Michelle Obama. Lauren Hutton has also modelled for the brand and I think the ageless appeal lies with the fact that the collection has a crystal-clear DNA.”
Mary-Kate and Ashley – who had a clothing range in Walmart at the age of 10 and launched their first own label, Elizabeth and James, in 2007 – have also done well with The Row because they knew how the fashion industry worked.
Averyl added: “We exclusively launched The Row with a dinner for the Olsens back in 2007. Even though it was a new brand, it was an immediate hit. And even then, the girls were not new to the commercial aspect of business.”
Kim Kardashian says her new perfume reminds her of her childhood.
The reality TV star recently launched her latest scent, Gold, and when she was developing it, she decided to take a trip down memory lane.
She told people.com: “When my dad would go away on trips he always came back with a special perfume for me. I hated when he bought perfume for his girlfriends, but loved it when he bought me a glamorous bottle of his favourite scent of gardenia. So when I was developing Gold, I thought of him and other happy times in my childhood.”
Kim also wanted a summer feel to the perfume but admits she found it quite a stressful process getting the right scent and the right look for the bottle.
She said: “To me, summer is sexy, beachy and glamorous with thoughts turning to romantic evenings. I wanted something powerful yet not too sweet. I got stressed out while developing the scent because I wanted it to be just perfect.
“I am very hands on with my fragrances. I really didn’t want a square bottle of any type. I am curvy and think my fragrance should represent me. So I picked a sleek round vessel in gold with ebony accents.”
However, Kim is very pleased with the results and wears it every day.
She said: “I spray myself before I go out,” she said. “The fragrance makes me feel sexy.”
The fragrance combines sparkling top notes of Italian bergamot and grapefruit with a sniff of spicy pink peppercorn, plus a floral heart of jasmine, delicate rose and golden resins of amber and creamy benzoin.
Hailee Steinfeld has been named as the new face of Miu Miu.
The 14-year-old ‘True Grit’ star will front the Italian fashion house’s autumn/winter campaign after being introduced to executives from the brand at the Screen Actors Guild awards earlier this year.
A representative for the brand’s sister label Prada said: “I can confirm Hailee Steinfeld has been shot to appear in the new Miu Miu fall/winter 2011 campaign.”
Hailee’s stylist, Karla Welch told the website Daily Beast: “We formed a relationship with them at the SAG Awards.
“Miu Miu is such a perfect fit for her. Throughout awards season, they were the dresses she wanted to wear.”
Academy Award nominee Hailee – who wore Miu Miu to a number of events during awards season including a Miss Golden Globe party in December, the SAG Awards in January and the BAFTA Awards in February – follows in the footsteps of actresses Kirsten Dunst and Lindsay Lohan who have previously appeared in campaigns for the label.
She was also spotted at the Paris Fashion Week Miu Miu show in March with fellow Oscar nominee Jennifer Lawrence.
