WHAT GOT INTO JANELLE MONAE?

Fashion icon Janelle Monae is one of our favorites and an elegant eyeful at every event she attends. Thom Browne LOVES her courageous choices and designs extreme things for her that most people would hesitate to wear. (note the boots) Janelle wore a fabulous outfit to the Met Gala and changed into this skimpier ensemble for the after-parties. Looks like the usually composed actress is REALLY cutting loose on the street outside as she entered Standard party. We wonder what went on INSIDE…

Dua Lipa Fashion Met Gala Platform Shoes

DUA LIPA CAN SIZE UP A ROOM QUICKLY

We have to admire Dua Lipa’s sense of balance. She’s wearing a Marc Jacobs sweater dress with platform shoes that look to be at least 8 or 10 inches tall! One shaky step and she could easily break an ankle. The singer is on her way to Anna Wintour’s pre-Met Gala party in NY and since Dua is already 5’8”, she will tower over most people at the event…perhaps giving her a social advantage.

Fashion Harry Styles Storage Wardrobe

HARRY STYLES IS DOING WHAT ELVIS DID

When it comes to his on-stage costumes, Harry Styles has turned to the late Elvis Presley for inspiration, which explains his penchant for glitzy jumpsuits etc. Just like Elvis, Harry is meticulously storing all of his flamboyant costumes, including his sequined jumpsuits and feather boas, since he figures one day they will be worth a fortune. Harry might be ON to something – a few years back Elvis’s white jumpsuit and matching cape sold for over a million dollars! Harry documents everything he wears, and then it’s stored in a climate controlled, cedar lined facility. A friend explains that he insists on keeping all of the clothes he wears in stage, to events, AND in his movies, so he’s already amassed QUITE a collection!

Charity Children Fashion Gown Hospital Jamie Lee Curtis Oscar Oscars

JAMIE LEE CURTIS IS URGING OSCAR NOMINEES AND WINNERS TO DONATE THEIR GOWNS TO CHARITY

Jamie Lee Curtis is on a roll when it comes to raising money for a good cause. As we previously revealed, her charity My Hand In Yours is raking in the dough for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles after her Oscar win. Now she’s planning to auction off the custom Dolce & Gabbana gown she wore when she won the Academy Award, with all proceeds benefiting the charity. ALSO – she’s leaning on her fellow nominees and winners (like her EEAAO co-star, Michelle Yeoh) to donate THEIR Oscar outfits. Her goal is to raise another million for the charity!

Berlin Chanel Fashion Kristen Stewart

KRISTEN STEWART IGNORES RED CARPET RULES

Leave it to Kristen Stewart – and Chanel – to make a conservative style look racy. Kristen’s frock for the red carpet closing of the Berlin Film Festival has a high collar, long sleeves and it’s ankle length with buttons down the front. No slits, no scoops and no glitz – except for the shiny buttons. The dress just happens to be see-through, and Kristen only wore high black panties underneath. You can see almost all of her tattoos. None of those predictable slinky gowns for Kristen – remember, she wore hot pants to the Oscars a few years back…

Ant Anstead Fashion Renee Zellweger

RENEE ZELLWEGER APPRECIATES A WELL-DRESSED MAN (WHO DOESN’T?)

Renee Zellweger’s romance with Ant Anstead is still going strong, but there’s one thing about him she’s trying to change -his wardrobe. Although Renee is a blue jeans girl at heart, she’s always appreciated a well dressed man, so she’s been slowly trying to upgrade Ant’s closet. She spends a lot of time in Laguna Beach and has become a regular at nearby Fashion Island, working with a private shopper at Neiman Marcus to spruce up Ant’s clothes. A source says Renee appreciates Ant in a T-shirt and Jeans, but she’s not so fond of his taste in dressier clothes. She’s gotten him a few Tom Ford suits and some pricey cashmere sweaters from the high-end store. Ant is happily allowing her to dress him…

Concert Costumes Fashion Madonna

MADONNA: CONCERT OR FASHION SHOW?

Madonna just announced her upcoming world tour celebrating 40 plus years as a musical icon and the show will be a fashionista’s dream. Prepare to get an eyeful of Madonna. On past tours Madonna would rely on one designer to create costumes – this time she’s spreading the love and plans on using as many designers as she can get. Her longtime collaborator, Jean Paul Gaultier is just one of many she’s leaning on to create some showstoppers. Also on the list – Donatella Versace, Dolce & Gabbana and Stella McCartney -just to name a few. She’s also planning to hire up-and-coming designers to create some original looks so fans can expect PLENTY of costume changes. Her iconic Gaultier cone bra is already getting revamped for the tour. If her bleached eyebrows and gold teeth (above) are any indication- her costumes will be outrageous…

Fashion Fashion Collaboration Gucci Harry Styles Target

HARRY STYLES LIKES TARGET TOO!

Harry Styles is no stranger to fashion – his recent capsule collection collaboration with Gucci was a huge hit. Now he’s planning to launch something more accessible to his fans. Harry has done pop-up stores in the past and while they were successful, they didn’t reach the masses since the majority of his fans never had the chance to shop. He’s been working on a line of unisex clothing and accessories and Target is front runner for the collaboration. The only sticking point is that while Harry likes the idea that there are so many Targets across the US, he also wants to reach his global fans. So he’s hoping to work out a deal where Target sells the collection in America and other retailers handle the rest of the world.

Fashion Janelle Monae Prince

JANELLE MONAE: THE FEMALE PRINCE?

If you invite Janelle Monae somewhere, you can depend on the fact that she will show up dressed to the tuxedo-inspired max. When it comes to fashion, she never disappoints. We cannot help but compare her to the late flamboyant performer Prince. Both were “dandies.” He was 5’2” and loved the color purple. Janelle is 5’0” and loves black and white. They both indulged in fashion fantasies and their music is both unusual and similar. It so happens Prince collaborated with Janelle on her Dirty Computer album shortly before his death, and she credits him for being an inspiration.

HAILEY BIEBER: IT’S AN L.A.THING

Men usually do this more than women, and it happens more often in Los Angeles. Hailey Bieber is dressed for winter from the waist up and summer from the waist down. She’s wearing a thick fleece jacket with biker shorts – oblivious to the fact that the temperature in West Hollywood is unusually brisk- in the 50’s. maybe that’s why she needed the hot coffee…
