Victoria Beckham at the British Fashion Awards at The Savoy in London - 28 November 2011
David and Victoria Beckham are considering leaving Los Angeles.
The soccer star is in talks with French club Paris Saint-Germain and a number of UK teams and rather than Victoria and their four children Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, nine, Cruz, six, and four-month-old daughter Harper remaining in Los Angeles while he plays in Europe, the entire family may relocate with the couple already lining up possible schools for the boys.
A source told the Mail on Sunday: “David is on the brink of committing to either Paris Saint-Germain or a UK club. He’ll make the announcement just after the New Year.
“They are preparing to be back in Britain and have been looking at schools for the boys. David is keen on one particular school because it’s the area where he grew up and when he was a child he always wished he could have gone there.”
Although Victoria was initially reluctant to move, the hugely successful fashion designer is now “excited” about returning home.
The source added: “David has always been adamant he wants to end his career in Europe and Victoria is totally behind the move. She is using the opportunity to work on her fashion profile in Europe and the boys will be privately educated. They are all very excited.
“Victoria wants to come back to London and live between the capital and Paris but she won’t give up the place in LA. The advantage of being over here is they can spend more time with their families. But they love LA so it’s likely they’ll be back.”
The actress Diane Kruger says that she likes to experiment with and change up her look a lot, because she hates how all the other women in Los Angeles look the same.
Diane, who’s previously been a Chanel muse and a model, obviously has had a lot of influence from her stints in the fashion industry.
The actress said: “I don’t have my own stylist. And I like to be a little different – in LA, everyone wears the same dresses.I think my background as a model helps, because I like experimenting and I’m not afraid of fashion or what other people think of me.”
She continued: “Sure, I’ve worn dresses people didn’t like, but I enjoy the expression of clothes. What you wear is one of the only things about yourself you can manipulate.” Testify!
Diane is one of our all-time favourite dressers so it’s good to hear her point of view on fashion. May you always be our red-carpet queen!
The celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe has admitted that she’s “terrified” about the debut of her new fashion line, which will be shown in the upcoming New York Fashion Week. Yay, super-stylists get nervous too!
Rachel, who’s famous in the past for weaving fashion magic over Hollywood’s elite, told the fashion site FabSugar: “Nervous, excited, petrified, anxious, terrified . Did I mention terrified? I’m terrified.” Well, if her taste in clothes is anything to go by then the designs will be good – then again, you never can tell til you see it on the runway..
Despite her trepidation, Rachel Zoe is also excited about her new project, having recently compared finishing a collection to “giving birth”. “Being a designer was the thing that I always said, ‘I’m never going to do this, because I’m too scared to do this’. All of sudden during my presentation this season, I was like ‘Oh my god, why am I doing this, I’m too scared to do this. Then it was like, it was almost like giving birth. When it was over, I was like, ‘This is the most exciting, most challenging adventure. This is new, and this is fun.’ ” We can’t wait to see what she comes up with.
Anne Hathaway is on an incredibly strict diet and exercise plan for her role as Catwoman in the upcoming Batman film, “The Dark Knight Rises”.
Anne, who’s a devoted vegetarian, is mainly living on a special kind of cabbage in preparation for the scenes where she has to wear Catwoman’s iconic skin-tight Catsuit. Anne told Chelsea Handler on the ‘Chelsea Lately’ show, “I’m a vegetarian and right now, I’m living on kale and dust for the training. That catsuit’s unforgiving, man!” Poor girl..
The actress revealed that the strict training she’s gone through for the film has finally made her enjoy exercise.
Anne said: “Last time I was here we talked about how much I really don’t like working out. I really like it now. I know, that’s like, ugh… that person. Like, I came to LA, got a bikini wax, went blond and love working out. There’s a workout hump where you’re so weak that you hate everything and everything’s painful, and you look like an idiot. Like, the gym that I work out at, I was literally working out next to a pregnant Jessica Alba, and she could do more pushups than I could!” It’s never good to be upstaged like a pregnant lady, although Jessica Alba probably has muscles like Popeye.
Good luck with your dust diet, Anne- hopefully filming won’t last much longer and you can have a big old pizza.
As if there wasn’t enough of a media storm around the heiress’ upcoming nuptials as it is, Kim Kardashian has just announced that she is going to be launching a limited edition perfume, Love by Kim Kardashian, to coincide with the big day.
Kim gushed about her new upcoming wedding, “I used to think falling in love was the most incredible feeling, but now I see there’s nothing more special than the enduring beauty of building a life with your other half and watching your love grow, each and every day.”
When we say limited edition we mean really limited – only 1000 bottles have been made for public sale, with Kim keeping her own personal bottle to wear on her wedding day. So if you want to have an expensive keepsake of this silly but amazingly entertaining day, you’ll need to get in there quick.
Today’s an apple pie-loving American special as we take a peek at who’s been papped over the pond.
Appearing on the Late Show in New York were both our very own Cat Deeley and the beautiful Emma Stone. Cat Deeley was rocking a Barbarella ’60s vibe in a very form-fitting silver shift dress with very teased blonde tresses, while Emma opted for a simple black bell-sleeved mini with absolutely giant heels for an effect that was edgy, sexy and a little bit Birkin-esque. There are rumours that Emma’s been getting close to her Spiderman co-star Andrew Garfield. Watch this space..
TCA were throwing a big bash with Rachel Bilson, Kristen Bell and Claire Danes in attendance. It was a pleasure to see Rachel again – where’s she been lately? Anyway, she put all the celebrities dressed up to the nines to shame as she rocked smart-casual in a coral pink pair of jeans with a sweet floral shirt and a patent clutch. More dressed-up was Kristen, who looked sexy in a black corseted-dress to show off her tiny waist, while the Romeo + Juliet star Claire Danes looked romantic in a Grecian draped number.
Nicole Sherzinger was spotted performing at the infamous Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood for Kiss FM, looking fierce in black-and-red feathers and some scary-looking black ankle boots. Elsewhere in California, Eva Longoria was seen looking polished in simple skinny jeans and Louboutins with a shiny mane to rival our Kate Middleton’s. How does she do it?
Finally, the Disney teeny-bopper Ashley Tisdale was seen at the première for the new Phineas & Ferb film looking extremely grown-up in a sheeny Aztec-printed minidress. She’s certainly not a kid anymore!
The Virgin Suicides actress Kirsten Dunst has admitted to considering more a more grown-up wardrobe.
Kirsten, who is now 29, has always been admired for her vintage-feel, girlish sense of style – she’s often papped in pretty sundresses and ballerina flats. However, she’s been wondering lately whether or not she’s too old for her wardrobe anymore, and if it’s time for a change.
She said: “I’m 29, I keep thinking, ‘Stop with the cutesy dresses.’ I’m trying to, I honestly am. I have thing in my wardrobe that are too girlie for my age. But I like simple, feminine, casual. I don’t like overdone.”
Personally we absolutely love Kirsten’s style, and considering she still looks about fifteen we think she can still get away with it. Don’t change please, Dunst!
Rachel Zoe, one of Hollywood’s most famous fashion stylists, has surprised us all with the news that she has banned herself from wearing heels while carrying her new four-month old son Skyler. (Yes, we know… Skyler.)
The diminutive fashion power-house is well-known for her passion for ankle-breaking high heels, but has decided to forgo them for now as she adjusts to being a new mummy, with the reasoning that it’s far safer to carry your baby in flats.
Zoe said about the new heel ban: “”I had better balance pregnant than not pregnant. My rule is I do not hold my child in heels.”
Quite right, and good for her, though I bet she’s already itching to get back into her Louboutins.
There’s nothing we love better than trawling through paparazzi pictures here at Shiny Style, and today was no exception – we had a good hard look to see which mahoosive stars were out partying and looking glam across the pond yesterday.
Some of New York’s finest were out in full force yesterday for a ”Green Auction” benefit at Christie’s in NYC – actress and style icon Diane Kruger tripped in on the arm of fashion designer Jason Wu in a gloriously old-fashioned little black dress with a white silk petticoat, demure high heels and a fishtail plait, while editor-at-large of American Vogue, Anna Wintour, was her normal scary fashion self in a leather and floral midi-dress which showed off her tiny frame.
Nicki Minaj turned up looking crazy and amazing as normal in a microscopically tiny leather playsuit with a green beehive – we love. Also there was The City star Olivia Palermo, who looked impeccable in a lace-effect blouse and a digital-printed pleated skirt – if you want to know how to combine prints without making it look like a crazy mess, she’s the girl to look to.
At a launch event in Nevada, Pamela Anderson was out with her mandem in a floor-length white number and absolutely enormous hair.
Meanwhile our favourite stars of the silver screen were spotted enjoying some down-time in their neighbourhoods – prodigal actress Emma Roberts was seen out and about in Los Angeles looking cute and on-trend in a camel fedora hat and skinny jeans, teamed with demure little ballet flats. We wish we looked this good on our day off. Back in the Big Apple, actress Naomi Watts was spotted nonchalantly sporting classic Ray-Ban sunglasses and a khaki parka while she was out about about.
To see who we spotted in the US yesterday, check out the gallery above.
As the weather slowly brightens up in the UK (we can go out without wearing thermal vests under our outfits! There’s blossom on the trees!) we can start to look forward to what will hopefully be a long, glorious and fashionable spring/summer. Us Brits are good to take tips from during the winter months, but for fashion inspiration it’s better to look across the pond to where the stars dress for gloriously sunny weather almost all year round. You don’t need to look much further than The City TV-star Whitney Port.
More friendly and accessible than Olivia Palermo, more fashion-savvy than Lauren Conrad, she’s the perfect ambassador for laidback summer dressing. We’re particular fans of her off-duty style that she’s papped out and about in; slouchy denim shirts, hotpants and flip-flops and sunnies. And in true It-girl style, she’s never without an absolutely killer bag. Check out our gallery to see our favourite recent Whitney moments.
While the fashion glitterati are all out in full force at the moment for NY Fashion Week, all of the music industry’s brightest were out in Los Angeles last night for the Pre-Grammy Gala and Salute to Industry Icons honouring David Geffen (try saying that with a mouthful of chips). Some legendary LA veterans were there tonight, such as writer Jackie Collins and diva queen Whitney Houston, looking every inch the Hollywood party-girls in shimmering cocktail dresses, but there were also plenty of young whippersnappers out as well showing their fashion credentials.
Representing old Blighty were Kelly and Sharon Osboune and popstrel extraordinaire Leona Lewis. Both of the Osbourne women looked at their goth best in lace dresses – Sharon opted for an elegant midi-length dress with a curve-hugging skirt, while Kelly kept her lace sheerer and her hemline higher to show off her teensy new body. Meanwhile, we’re still undecided on Leona’s outfit. She’s already not known for always getting it right at events (remember when she tried to be Gaga?) but we’re struggling to decide whether her fluorescent two-piece was on-trend or just plain horrible. Whatever verdict we come to, we’ll say this – her fringe looked nice.
Meanwhile the Stateside stars showed exactly why they’re the industry’s biggest divas. Jennifer Hudson appeared for the paps wearing a gorgeous figure hugging dress (someone has obviously been dieting, BTW) that showed off her curves to perfection. She completed the Monroe-esque look with a shock of red lipstick and vintage-style bangs; we hope she keeps this look forever. Katy Perry was gorgeous as usual in an extravagant sweetheart necklined gown, but looked a little more sombre than normal, especially with her poker-straightened hair. Bring back the blue wigs please.
Kelly Rowland and Miley Cyrus were polar opposites last night, with Kelly looking classy and beautiful in a Grecian draped blue gown, whilst Miley opted for the dodgiest shiny dress we’ve ever seen, complete with fishnet cut-outs and PVC. Put it away Miley, you’re only twelve.
Brad Pitt and Angelina made it clear that they’ve got their mojo back at Graumann’s Chinese Theatre for the Los Angeles première of Angelina’s new film “Salt”, and are more of a power couple than ever – while recently in the past, the pair have appeared in public looking tired, tense and strained, yesterday on the red carpet they appeared more in love than ever.
Despite being under criticism for her skinny frame in the past couple of years, Ange looked healthy and radiant in a black, shimmering tube dress from Emporio Armani, with glamour-puss curls and Brigitte Bardot makeup. Other celebrities were copying her look – The Ring actress Naomi Watts wore an almost identical dress in silver. How embarrassing, Naomi. Brad was also looking his old handsome self, having traded in the dodgy mousy hair and beard (yay, he looks like Brad Pitt again) for cool Miami Vice-style aviator shades and classic men’s tailoring in his Tom Ford suit.
Seeing this must be a bit of a kick in the teeth for Jennifer Aniston – Brangelina are looking as hot as they did when they first started getting it on for “Mr and Mrs Smith”. Maybe they look so good because there’s a sequel in the pipeline?
Yesterday we bought you a gallery of Emma Watson and Kristen Stewart after both ladies appeared on the TimesRich List.
We also turned it into a bit of a style competition asking you who you thought was the best dressed, and a huge number voted for Kristen here.
However, a Twilight and Harry Potter face off wouldn’t be complete without the two main male stars so we’ve decided to give you a little treat and put together a gallery of Robert Pattinson and Daniel Radcliffe, who both also made the Rich List.
View the gallery below and let us know who you think is the most stylish and (since it’s guys) sexy by voting below.
The first few minutes of the 2010 Oscars have been a bit of whirlwind. Watching some of the stars parading down the red carpet in black before the initial event began, we were under the impression that this would form the trend of the night, but we were wrong. Nicole Ritchie broke up the dark trends with a silver and black frock complete with kimono sleeves, while Avatar star Zoe Saldana walked the red path in a strapless sparkling bodice and frill-adorned lilac skirt.
Vera Farmiga opted for a red frilly Marchesa frock, which she unfortunately stepped on, however the disaster of the night so far has got to be Sky presenter Angela Griffin, who we think went a bit too far with her imitation of Rihanna’s statement hairstyle.
And although she didn’t copy the singer‘s quirky style, instead she went for an on-trend nude chiffon frock with ruffles, we still think she looks like a poor mans version of the superstar. And another thing Angela, no matter how much your feet will ache the next day, wearing flip flops on the red carpet is a big no no.
The number one place to be on Monday night was at the opening of the new D&G flagship store in Los Angeles. Dolce & Gabbana certainly have some fine young thangs for pals, inviting a plethora of young Hollywood stars to their glitzy bash on Robertson Blvd. The opening also doubled as a charity event, to raise funds for The Art of Elysium – a non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of artists and critically ill children. Among the high-profile guests were Rachel Bilson, Nicole Richie, Joel Madden, Lauren Conrad, Rumer Willis, and Paris and Nicky Hilton. We have all the red carpet pics of what they wore – check out our special gallery!
