KEVIN COSTNER IS NO FASHIONISTA

X

Kevin Costner’s divorce from his second wife Christine Baumgartner just became final, and he attended the 15th Annual Governor’s Awards last weekend looking like THIS. We have to assume that his wives were in the habit of dressing him, because this leading man has never looked WORSE. It’s not easy for a masculine man to look good in pastel colors – especially PINK. And Kevin does not. The unflattering cut of the jacket makes him look plump and the facial hair ages him and covers his best feature- his face.  It’s altogether a study of what NOT to do if you are an attractive man…

CARRIE’S NEW FASHION IS NOT SO DELIGHTFUL

Sorry to say that And Just Like That is NOT living up to the fashion standards of  predecessor Sex & The City. The original wardrobe designer for City, Patricia Field, chose not to continue working for the new series. We really miss her!  And here’s WHY! (see photo above)  Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie looks quite uncomfortable in this peculiar pink and red combo with the plaid overcoat.  The sequin top is matronly and the hat is just plain goofy. And we usually LOVE bright colors! Our beloved Carrie deserves better…

MEGHAN MARKLE ENJOYS SOME ROYAL FRINGE BENEFITS

Being married to royalty DOES have some perks, including getting tons of free clothes from fashion designers looking for publicity. So it should come as no surprise that Meghan Markle’s closet is bursting at the seams. While the practical princess donates many of the items, she’s gotten a little crafty with some of the more expensive designer pieces. She consigns them online with the help of a friend. Meghan wouldn’t dare risk having HER name attached to selling clothes – especially since she gets most of the stuff for free – so a trusted friend handles the consigning. According to my source, Meghan and the friend then split the proceeds, raking in a pretty penny while emptying her closets.

IS RIHANNA DROPPING HINTS AGAIN?

There’s a REASON Rihanna seems to be covering up in multiple layers – she’s hinting to pals that baby number three is on the way! After having two boys, this time around Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have turned to modern medicine to better their odds of having a baby girl. Rihanna has yet to confirm that she’s pregnant, but my source reveals she’s showing all of the signs, and they expect an announcement any minute now.

HARPER BECKHAM IS GROWING UP FAST

From awkward pre-teen to glamour girl! Harper Beckham, the daughter of Victoria and David Beckham, is growing up really FAST – according to this photo of just-turned THIRTEEN year old (!) Harper and her father and brother Romeo on their way to Victoria’s Paris fashion show. Seems like yesterday Harper was barely up to her mom’s shoulder. This week she looks really attractive in a baby pink satin gown designed by her mother, and kitten heel sandals.  Apparently she’s living up to her mom’s fashion expectations…

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

This first breaking story is that conspiracy theory nut job and failed presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy Jr had an extramarital affair with a reporter from New York Magazine. We just heard that his wife, Cheryl Hines has had enough and is getting ready to announce her separation from her wacky husband. As my source put it, it was bad enough Cheryl had to defend his crazy vaccine conspiracy theories and his ridiculous presidential campaign, but for her to stand by him through all of that and then to find out he CHEATED on her was the final straw. She’s lawyering up as you read this.

In a sad bit of news this week, celebrity hair extension guru, Priscilla Valles saw her husband Miguel fighting for his life in the ICU after being shot in front of his Bel-Air home in a botched attempted robbery. (the thieves were after his $50,000 gold Rolex) According to my source, Priscilla’s celebrity clients including the Kardashians, Angelina Jolie and Christina Aguilera and they are all chipping in to cover the out of pocket costs at UCLA Hospital where Miguel is facing a long road to recovery. My source estimates the hospital bill alone will reach well into the millions of dollars so whatever insurance doesn’t cover, her celebrity clients will.

Britney Spears made the news when she revealed she would continue to pay her ex husband, Kevin Federline, child support even though their youngest son Jayden turned 18-years-old. Although not legally obligated, Britney decided it was the right thing to do. Here’s what we heard. Britney is secretly planning a musical comeback and although she’s not keen on performing, she’s been working in the studio on some tracks for an upcoming album. Good idea to keep the money flowing now that she’s agreed to continue to support her grown sons.

Kamala Harris made headlines for her continued popularity and strong polling against Donald Trump. We heard that Kamala doesn’t want to jinx anything however, and although she’s not superstitious, she’s still isn’t taking any chances. Designers have been clamoring to dress her for the inauguration – as more and more people believe she will defeat Trump and his extremism – but Kamala has refused to even entertain the idea of meeting with any designers for measurements. (remember couture gowns can take months and months to design, source the fabric, sew and fit) Kamala is telling her people that she won’t even consider the idea of LOOKING at dress sketches until the final vote is counted! (one more reason to like her)

Finally, the biggest news of the week was Sean Diddy Combs’ arrest on federal charges for sex trafficking, among other things. Denied bail and on suicide watch, we just heard that the disgraced rapper is likely to be sent to a mental health hospital and strapped to a bed because he is quickly deteriorating behind bars in the gang ridden jail. My well placed source says that despite his tough guy image, Diddy never expected he would be denied bail and never fathomed he would be locked up, so he’s quickly becoming the definition of a hot mess. He’s likely to be transferred to a mental facility within days, as it seems he’s lost touch with reality and is blabbering incoherently…

BRAD PITT REALLY GETS INTO FASHION WEEK

Oops! It appears that Brad Pitt’s fashion choices are becoming more and more extravagant as New York Fashion Week continues. In fact, he’s actually out-dressing his fashionable girlfriend Ines de Ramon. We can live with those checkered sweatpants Brad, BUT the matching bucket hat is just TOO much. The old Brad is starting become a lot more appealing… This is NOT a hot guy look.

BRAD PITT: THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU DATE A FASHIONISTA

About two years ago, Brad Pitt started polishing up his fashion sense. He always had a subtle masculine look, thanks to his longtime personal shopper. Lately, he’s been WAY more photographable, no doubt thanks to the influence of his girlfriend of 2 years, Ines de Ramon. Ines is a jewelry designer and she and Brad turned up at -of all places- New York’s Fashion Week looking equally stylish. We ARE surprised to see Brad in that yellow suit, but he wears it well…

KAMALA HARRIS AND HER NO-NONSENSE WARDROBE

Vice President Kamala Harris needs a lot of clothes now that she’s running for President and some of them might be YOURS. Kamala is very eco-conscious and isn’t a fan of fast fashion (it takes a terrible toll on the environment) so her stylists are scouring online resale sites like eBay, looking for gently worn finds. Kamala knows that unlike her male counterparts, she’ll be scrutinized for her fashion choices, so she’s sticking to tailored suits in neutral colors. The demands of campaigning require an extensive wardrobe, and Kamala is legally required to spend her own funds on personal items like clothing, so she’s instructed her stylists to look for reasonably priced items. If she’s elected, we predict that designers everywhere will be bombarding her with free samples…

SNOOP DOGG DRESSED LIKE AN ARISTOCRAT

Screenshot

Here’s something you don’t see very often – Snoop Dogg dressed to the nines in English riding gear. Especially unusual since Snoop has confessed to having a mortal fear of riding horses. The Olympics invited him to view their dressage equestrian competition and Snoop brought along his pal Martha Stewart since she is very experienced with horses. Martha encouraged Snoop to give the horses some carrots and they all got along. She also made sure that he was properly attired for the occasion and he looks good! But he couldn’t part with those sneakers…
