Material Muse

I knew this day would come: denim shirts are back. Harem pants are back, so it was really only a matter of time. Understand that overalls - in corduroy - are soon to follow. Model Agyness Deyn was spotted in New York City wearing an oversized paint-splattered denim work shirt over a pair of leggings; apparently this is what a style icon dons on her trip home from the gym. Needless to say, denim shirts - not yet cool enough to be found at the Gap but certainly in stock at your local Urban...Read Full Story

Fashion critics probably didn't expect much from the Valentino Fall 2010 presentation in Paris this week, after the label showed a disappointing, frenzied couture collection (think neon and pastel ruched jumpsuits) not too long ago. But designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli , who took over creative direction for the label just last year, have accomplished a swift and impressive recovery. The Valentino Fall 2010 collection is beautiful - faithful to the romantic essence of the...Read Full Story

Senseless Acts of Desperation on the Cannes Red Carpet Lindsay Lohan 's getting back to work, her career having been derailed by a myriad of personal and legal problems. Not only has she signed up for a film role (tentatively titled The Other Side ), she's also in Paris, in talks with the House of Emanuel Ungaro to...Read Full Story

Getty Images. Singer/songwriter Katy Perry is generally pretty adorable, and I'm willing to let her carry on with her mad self when it comes to most of her fashion decisions. I mean, if there's anyone I want to see in a spangly fruit dress, it's her (although Gwen Stefani would probably have done it better a couple of years back, if she'd wanted to). But is this ok? Part of what's wrong here is context - it seems a little bizarre to wear a spangled high-waisted skirt, leather bustier, and...Read Full Story

Photo Agency. You know you have a reputation going when the fact you've worn sandals becomes a news story. Last month, one of the world's most famous fashionistas, Victoria Beckham , stepped out in a pair of flats. The paparazzi photos of the event - and it was an event - hit gossip sites the world over, causing many of her fans to wonder of Mrs. B had finally stiletto-stepped her way into a foot condition. The former Posh Spice hasn't appeared in flats since - not even when she's dragging...Read Full Story

Getty Images. Karolina Kurkova's striped peplum Topshop dress is so flattering, you can't tell she's six months pregnant in it. Check out this week's best Topshop frocks: Considering the number of dresses in Victoria Beckham 's collection, it's unlikely that the singer-turned-WAG-turned-fashion designer will ever have need for fast fashion. But if she did, she'd probably gravitate towards a piece like this 'Cosmic Shoulder' jersey dress ($80). With a fierce pair of brightly-colored heels...Read Full Story

Getty Images. This tattoo, which reads, "We will all laugh at gilded butterflies," belongs to none other than pretty lady Megan Fox . It's a quote from Shakespeare's King Lear . Fox isn't the only celebrity to tattoo words on her back, of course. It's a terrific means of sending a message - let's just hope that these stars want to send these messages for the rest of their lives. Starlet Evan Rachel Wood opted for Edgar Allen Poe, with "All that we see or seem/ is but a dream within a dream...Read Full Story

Photo Agency. Italian actress Monica Bellucci is on a Spanish vacation with her husband, actor Vincent Cassel , and their 7-year-old daughter Deva. When they arrived at the Malaga airport, Monica, universally recognized as one of the most beautiful women in the world, was dressed down in a pair of bell-bottomed jeans and some blue platform sandals. Her daughter, however, was dressed to impress. Just look at that mug! Ms. Deva is wearing a very cute ensemble for the elementary school set, with...Read Full Story

Getty Images. Who, exactly, is Hofit Golan ? According to the trusty Internet search, she's an Israeli socialite. According to her commenting fans, she's "stunning and a TV presenter and spokes model [sic]" who "looks classy and sexy." Well, I'd beg to differ: Uh, I could knock the head petals, but I don't even have to. This garishness doesn't even fit well. But it did get her picture taken, so mission accomplished, probably. And her shoes are great, which is probably why she wore them to yet...Read Full Story

Photo Agency. Victoria Beckham is one of the world's most avid collectors of Hermés bags, with an estimated 100 bags in her massive collection, according to The Big Money. Trust that these are not the only bags she's collecting - just some of the most sought-after. See, Hermés bags can run anywhere between $7,000 and $200,000. Very few are made, and the waiting list for a special-edition bag can take years. Victoria owns nearly every type, from pink ostrich to black crocodile. She's even the...Read Full Story
