TIMOTHEE CHALAMET IS WORTH LOOKING AT

When it comes to fashion, we have to give Timothee Chalamet credit where credit is due. When he promotes his new movies, he dresses UP! And he experiments with totally unexpected looks. (Fortunately it appears his girlfriend Kylie Jenner is NOT influencing his style.) We give credit to Timothee’s female stylist Taylor McNeill for his wild collection of looks often incorporating scarves. Timothee’s open mind about fashion has brought him partnerships with Chanel and Cartier, so it’s paying off. Above, he’s sporting burgundy velvet “denim” by True Religion at the Italian premier of A Complete Unknown.

MELANIA TRUMP: BAD NEWS FOR RALPH LAUREN

The heck with traditions: Former and soon-to-be First Lady Melania Trump wants what she wants. Melania is arguably the most fashion interested First Lady since Jackie Kennedy, and as she prepares for her husband’s inauguration, she wants to break with the unofficial tradition of wearing American designers. Instead she is looking to the major couture houses in Europe including Chanel, Valentino, and Dolce and Gabbana, to design her clothes for the inauguration and all of the related events. My source explains that THIS time around, Melania feel she has nothing to lose since Donald is prohibited from running again after his term ends, so she plans on wearing whatever SHE wants – regardless of how outrageous or expensive it is.

JENNIFER GARNER AND JENNIFER LOPEZ HAVE MORE IN COMMON THAN BEN

Don’t be too surprised if Jennifer Garner starts looking like Jennifer Lopez! As we previously reported, both of Ben Affleck’s exes, have developed a true friendship and spend time together without Ben. Now that she’s in the process of looking for a new home, J.Lo recently cleaned out her closets and donated a vast amount of clothing to various charities, but she also gave Jennifer first dibs. Although the gals have vastly different styles, Jennifer was able to scoop up a few chunky cashmere sweaters and some accessories that Lopez no longer wanted.

SHARON STONE: STRICTLY BUSINESS?

Sharon Stone has been delighting fans recently by turning up at posh showbiz events in Hollywood and Italy wearing dazzling designer fashions, looking impossibly glamorous. On this particular evening, she bypassed the feathers and rhinestones for the Turin Film Festival and opted for this oddly amusing outfit -an oversized tuxedo jacket with a slinky skirt. Not hugely flattering, but functional- and she got a career award that night. Last week she was seen by Radar flirting with equally single Kevin Costner at the 2024 Governor’s Awards – they WOULD make a nice looking couple…

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.

KIM KARDASHIAN: FASHION CAN BE A TOUCHY SUBJECT

Kim Kardashian is thrilled her ex-husband Kayne West is spending quality time with their kids (he was recently photographed taking oldest daughter North to the movies) but Kim’s NOT so happy with the barely-there outfits Kayne’s “wife” Bianca Censori wears around the kids. During the above mentioned movie outing, Bianca wore a skin tight shirt and the skimpiest of shorts, much to Kim’s displeasure. According to my source, Kim is encouraging all of the kids to have a relationship with both their dad and Bianca, but she would prefer if Bianca dressed more like a mom and less like a stripper. After the photos of her at the movies came out, Kim got on the phone and expressed her feelings to Bianca – luckily they seem to have a good relationship.

LAUREN SANCHEZ SELLS HER USED COTHING ONLINE

Old habits die hard, just ask soon-to-be billionaire Lauren Sanchez. Before she found fame and fortune as Jeff Bezos’ fiancé, Lauren was a news anchor and worked the red carpet as a correspondent for Extra. Although successful, money was still an issue for working girl Lauren, especially since her jobs required her to dress up every day and didn’t supply her a wardrobe. Ever-practical Lauren couldn’t repeat her outfits so she sold them online and even though money will likely never be an issue for her again, she’s STILL selling her clothes through various online consignment sites. Don’t worry though, Lauren realizes how fortunate she is to be marrying one of the wealthiest men in the world, so she donates all proceeds from her used clothes to various charities benefiting women, minorities and animals.

DO JUSTIN AND HAILEY BIEBER LACK TOGETHERNESS?

We’ve heard that when Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey dress up to go out at night they often look like they are going to entirely different places. This Saturday night photo of the Biebers fully illustrates that observation. Justin and his pregnant wife joined friends for dinner at the 4 Charles Prime Rib supper club in New York. Hailey looks appropriately glamorous in white satin, while Justin looks like he’s going fishing somewhere in the suburbs. And of course he tops it off with that ever-present baseball cap. Looks like they don’t collaborate fashion-wise before leaving home…
