TIMOTHEE CHALAMET HAS BECOME THE MALE ZENDAYA

And that is not an insult. Zendaya is the undisputed Darling of the Red Carpet and every designer competes to dress her. Not many men can make that claim, but Timothee Chalamet definitely can. He’s not TOO eccentric (like MGK ) but he’s game for almost anything – skirts and halter tops included. He seems to enjoy being somewhat sexually ambiguous because it’s fashionable now. He does look spectacular at the premier of his film Bones & All in London in this Alexander McQueen white suit and diamond bone necklace by Vivienne Westwood. He and costar Taylor Russell play romantic cannibals in the film, directed by the same Italian director, Luca Guadagnino, who made Timothee a star in Call me by Your Name. In this photo, Timothee looks much more connected to his surroundings than Taylor does…

JARED LETO KNOWS HOW TO PLAY AN ECCENTRIC DESIGNER

The first time Jared Leto met Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld he quipped “One day I have to play you in a movie!” Karl responded “Only you, darling, only you.” Jared proved he wasn’t kidding when he agreed to play the late Lagerfeld in a film about his life this week. Years ago, we were thrilled to be invited for a small dinner at Mr Chow in Beverly Hills for Karl Lagerfeld. That was back when the flamboyant designer was heavier and he wore black silk caftans accessorized with a fan. He proved to be quite entertaining and a friendly dinner companion. In 2001, he lost over 90 pounds so he could fit into slim suits that he accessorized with stiff white collar shirts, black gloves, and the ever-present Diet Coke. So Jared will be going through quite a transformation for the role- much like he did in House of Gucci.

MATTHEW PERRY MAKES A COMEBACK

Matthew Perry, 53, hasn’t worked for at least the last five years, and every time we’ve seen photos of him they were far from flattering. He looked unshaven and sometimes unkempt in pajama-like clothing. It’s common knowledge that he’s been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction, but maybe now he’s finally gotten a grip on it. While he wasn’t acting, he was actually writing a book, and that’s a GOOD thing. He finally finished his memoir called Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing – coming out Nov 1. He talks about his “lost love,” (who could that be?) his darkest days, and behind-the-scenes Friends stories – with plenty of humor. Sounds like a best seller…

HILARY SWANK: NO LONGER MISSING IN ACTION

It’s been a few years since we’ve seen Hilary Swank, 48, and today she popped up to promote her new series, Alaska Daily, and she was full of good news. Apparently she took a break from Hollywood in 2017 to care for her father who had a lung transplant. He died in 2021, but during her time off, Hilary not only got married, but became pregnant with twins. (She always talked about wanting kids) She very quietly married Philip Schneider (not sure what he does for a living) in a secretive wedding in 2019 in Carmel, Cal. We didn’t even know she was DATING anyone! It’s not surprising that she’s in a great mood promoting her new drama series – she plays a culture-shocked investigative journalist who moves from New York to Alaska. Nice to see her so happy…

JANET JACKSON ALWAYS HAS A FRONT ROW SEAT

Janet Jackson had an interesting companion for the Louis Vuitton show in Paris. She and shoe designer Christian Louboutin have actually been to several red carpet events together in the past year. It does NOT look like she’s wearing his boots, however. Janet is wearing a Vuitton silver sequin puffy jacket that isn’t doing her any favors. But again it’s her hair that we take issue with. She deserves better than those two large heavy ponytails. And her makeup is way too vivid for daytime. We know how good she CAN look. When Janet and Christian went inside, SHE sat in the front row and he went to the back.

JADEN SMITH HAS A BONE TO PICK WITH KANYE

When he arrived for the Louis Vuitton show in Paris, you just knew Jaden Smith, 24, was destined for the front row because he was draped head-to-toe in Vuitton. An interesting, but very odd outfit- the thick gold scarf and fish-scale top is wintery but the bare arms and stomach are definitely for warm weather. Yesterday, sensitive Jaden stormed OUT of Kanye West’s fashion show, appalled because Kanye was wearing a t-shirt that said WHITE LIVES MATTER. When we first saw the shirt we thought it was ridiculous and very funny and assumed Kanye meant it that way. Turns out a lot of people took the silly shirt VERY seriously and find sinister hidden meanings behind it. Jaden is one of them…

DOJA CAT WILL DO ALMOST ANYTHING FOR THOM BROWNE

If you’re getting tired of looking at black clothing (favored by the Kardashians) you might like this: Devoted fan Doja Cat finagled Thom Browne into forsaking his favorite color grey, and making a festive gown for her to wear to his Paris show. The dress did feature his special stripe, but it was so long that she kept tripping over it and needed two security men to help maintain her balance and navigate the stairs in those mile-high platforms. That’s a drawback limited to male designers – they don’t wear their own designs and don’t realize how uncomfortable or awkward they can be. Thom added a whimsical necktie tied backward around her neck (hopefully no one grabbed it from the rear!) and painted his signature stripe on her chin…

JANET JACKSON IS ENJOYING HER NEWFOUND HEIGHT

Designer Thom Browne (who happens to be one of our unaffordable favorites) is famous for putting men in skirts and women in preppie neckties and he’s attracted all kinds of celebrities – including Janet Jackson. She wore Thom Browne to the Billboard awards and decorated the front row at his Paris show in an immaculately tailored layered outfit with one short sleeve and one long. Note the outrageously high platform heels – 7 or 8 inches- and the oversize “handbag” as big as a suitcase. The only drawback to Janet’s look is the piled high hair- makes her look like a stern matron in a 1960’s orphanage…

KANYE WEST AND NORTH WEST HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON

Kanye West took his three oldest kids – North, 9, Saint, 6, and Chicago, 4, out to dinner in Paris during Fashion Week and North is starting to REALLY enjoy the limelight. She wore 4 inch platform boots with her all black outfit and the other kids also wore head-to-toe black. Even the nanny was dressed all in black. Earlier that day, Kanye had walked the runway in the Balenciaga fashion show wearing a black military oversize jacket with a hood, baseball cap, and dark glasses – essentially looking just the same as he has for the past six months OFF the runway…

AMELIA GRAY HAMLIN’S BLEACHED EYEBROWS: YES OR NO?

Amelia Gray Hamlin turned up at the Givenchy show in Paris suitably attired and flashing her newly bleached eyebrows. We’re not sold on this new bleached eyebrow fad – Amelia is only 21 and she looks considerably older. Her parents Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamiin are happy with her modeling success, but they were disappointed when she dropped out of college during the pandemic. Fortunately, she also broke up with Scott Disick during the pandemic- he was 18 years older and not a great match for her. For some reason, Amelia almost never smiles in photos, and it makes you wonder if she ever has fun…
