Amongst the blondes and the barrage of Brits at the Oscars last night, was a bona fide Bollywood contingent. A. R. Rahman was going to be there to perform with Florence (she, without The Machine in this instance) – that we already knew. Incidentally, Flo did butcher Rahman’s name in her red runway interview with [...]
If there was ever any doubt about the power of fashion in Hollywood, all rumours were put safely to bed after an almost eight-hour marathon of mode. The Red Carpet, the Oscars’ broadcast, the party frocks post-show…it’s an endless parade of designs and designers that have become ubiquitous even for those of you who weren’t [...]
One could argue that Harvey Weinstein had the best accessory of the evening at the Oscars: his wife, Georgina Chapman. Georgina could argue that it’s the other way around, given that last night was a celebration of Weinstein’s world – not to mention Weinstein’s wins, with all of the awards his company took home.

Helen Mirren gives good grace. She wore charcoal Vivienne Westwood Couture last night, along with a few matching baubles. Queen Cate also looked the part last night. And this isn’t the first time Mirren dazzled in grey. Images: Getty, JustJared.com.
Anne Hathaway couldn’t just pick one dress – she was the hostess with the mostest mode. I think the final count was eight, including her Red Carpet number? Her girly gushing and cat-calling aside (ahem, you are the host, Ms. Hathaway and a paid pro), I thought she looked like an elegant lady in the [...]
Queen Cate reigns again…this time in Givenchy Couture. She has always been one of my red runway faves. Images: maggiered and Lucy Nicholson/Reuters via Guardian UK.
Uncle Karl may not have been on the Red Carpet himself, like his pal Valentino, but he sent an ambassador. Michelle Williams looked gorgeous in a Chanel sparkling column. There were far too many nude dresses with sparkles for my interest, but Williams opted for white and thus subtly, stood out. It was simple but [...]
If Catwoman had a day job and had to give a presentation… …this is what she would wear to keep the hounds on Bay Street at bay. Images: Vogue.com.
If the ladies of Studio 54 stepped out of the club and into a Pantone-painted party today… …they would be going ga-ga for Gucci’s FW11 glam-o-rama. Hit play on the Marvin Gaye and browse a sampling of Gucci’s shady, Midnight Ladies. All images courtesy of Vogue.com.
Erdem Moralioglu is an expressionist, impressing us with his imprint on fashion over the past few seasons. The Ryerson grad has gradually won this un-printed girl’s heart over with his patterns and colours. Seeing his latest collection for FW11, I couldn’t help but think…if Monet and Van Gogh joined forces and painted silk and velvet [...]
Six mannequins at The Ritz Hotel in London were dressed in McQueen yesterday morning. They, and a smattering of images offer a glimpse into what will be Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty – an exhibition of the designer’s work to be held at the Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in May. Vogue’s Anna [...]
If goth girls cheered up a bit… …this is what they’d paint the town in… Yes, you read red at Todd Lynn. Chalk it up to Lynn’s inspirations for the collection: “The Bible, The Age of Enlightenment and Sid Vicious.” Clear as claret now. Collection images courtesy of Style.com. Sid image source.
If 1940s Katharine Hepburn were telling The Philadelphia Story in 2011… …this is what she would wear. Imagine the flounce of that skirt! Furrrocious! Images: Kate image courtesy of Style Matters. Giles image courtesy of WWD.
If a modern-day superhero – a woman who juggles multiple work projects, nurtures her creative calling, heeds the needs of family and culture and still manages to balance a social life, friends and spirituality while donning stilettos – needed a shield of protection… …this would be it. Those studs actually look like those push pins [...]
What Toronto felt like today… You wind-some, you lose some. …just not as fashionable.
