DON'T: Stupid Spring Forward

Losing an hour of sleep has folks in a mood on the streets on New York and in the office today! 

Naomi Campbell on The Face

Oh the SHADE in your fuchsia disco dress and crimped frizz, GIRL! 

The Face Gives Good Promo

Three beautiful promos stand before me, but I only have one place in my heart for all this! 


                            


Wow, Naomi is really bringing the evil chic out! 


February is for Lovers... of fashion and drama! Can't wait! 

Linda Evangelista's Court Couture... Which is Your Favorite Look?

Someone just made this mother's day! 

Linda's battles for child support from French fashion mogul François-Henri Pinault have ended in a secret settlement which means two things:








1. She could have won that $46,000 / month for "child support". That's a lot of Muse bags PPR's gonna have to push! (Or unfortunate Burger King commercials for wife Selma Hayek) 






2. No more Prada coolness from Her Evangelista-ness. 


Like Naomi, Winona and hell, even Lindsay before her, Linda worked that courtroom couture selling the media on her good girl wronged vibe (although maybe not a convincing single mom in need look) 

(Ever the 'supe', Linda never misses a camera angle to work)

So which of her law-suits fit her best? 




Personally I wouldn't get out of bed for less than that swingy grey contrast black jacket in pic two.

Battle of the Kate's: Naomi as Bridesmaid?

(Perusing the David's Bridal catalog together)

Oh my golly, only Kate Moss could get Naomi Campbell to play bridesmaid and if these rumors are true then Ms Campbell is ready and willing to throw on the pink taffeta confection.

Eat your heart out, Pippa.

MET Ball? Glad I Went to Kylie

Pouring through the photos of last nite's CFDA Ball at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I am not feeling love at first sight

(I just won't be able to get this hideous frock out of my head!)

And there was something generally missing from the evening. Where was the pomp? The drama? The art? We're celebrating a man who made a dress out of medical slides here people!

(That's Karen Elson for crikey's sake!)

Some people delivered

(Anna Dello Russo)

(Ashley Olsen and Christian Louboutin)

(Naomi Campbell)

But there were too many meh looks on too many c-listers

(La La got an invite? What was Angie Martinez busy?)

The crowd was thick with folks in their finest Tory Burch, Tommy Hilfiger and Michael Kors as if they were celebrating Junior prom, not one of the greatest design minds of recent fashion

(Wait - why you there? And why you wearing Tory Burch?)

(Jessica Stam's been practicing her prom queen acceptance speech ever since she picked up her Tommy Hilfiger dress at the mall)

Ok, this  Michael Kors fuchsia number on Brooklyn Decker at least embraced the color trend so strong for Spring but people this is the MET Ball! You can where whatever you want and you're encouraged to be adventurous!

But let's end on a high note (cuz it can't be that the above dress is "ok"). 

Friend of Alexander McQueen and never afraid to take risks Daphne Guinness won the evening as best dressed in McQueen

And really that more than makes up for all the Maxxinistas in the room!

Happy Year of the Rabbit

Happy Chinese New Year!

Nice Work if You Can Get It, Christy Turlington

Sometimes my friends and I pretend we're the original Supes (I know, I know, but go with me).  I'm always Linda. There's something so fun about taking on the haughty air of that statuesque chameleon while on the way to  pick up beer and peanut butter. Naomi and Cindy are always snatched up quickly by my crew, but no one ever mentions Christy. I guess there isn't much to mime since she's never been affected by the glamour and glitter. Christy seems like the down to earth girl whom the others call in tears to share their heartbreaks.

Recently interviewed in the UK Telegraph,  she remains poised, wise and humble about a career that's stood the test of time (her famous Maybeline contract is on year 19!)

There's lots of great quotes, but my fave is how she finds her daily tasks as a model so silly:

"I remember doing a shoot for Herb Ritts, hanging off the Eiffel Tower — that wasn't your usual day at the office"

Well, Christy, the next time I'm puttin' on The Trinity strut to Crate and Barrel, I'll grab a lamp post Gene Kelly style and pretend I'm you clutching the wrought iron of Paris in a diaphanous Westwood gown. Sounds like a good work day to me.

Thrown a Curve 'Ball'

(Queen of the Universe in and with Oscar de la Renta)

A few weeks ago I wrote how there was none of the usual hype for this year's Costume Institute Ball at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Well where there's no smoke, there's none of that fire. And last nite was in desperate need of a bellow.

(Hilary Rhoda in Prabal Gurung)

(Naomi Campbell in

Dolce +Gabbana)                                       

Ladies, these outfits are weak. This is your moment to give us a giant sartorial bitch slap, Alexis Carrington style. This is more like Amanda Woodward lite.

(Jessica Stam in Rachel Roy)

(Zoe Saldana in Calvin Klein)

                                                               

Things I did like: lots of models present, granted outside Naomi no "supers". Where's Kate? Stephanie? Alek? Karen Elson? Could they smell this stinker a mile away?

(Chanel Iman doin' it in Michael Kors)

And I liked that most guests repped for American designers (again except Naomi. Oh Nomes! Gotta love ya!)

And these usual suspects looked good:

(Chloe Sevigny in Proenza Schouler)

(Nicole Richie in Marc Jacobs)

      

(Rachel Zoe in Marc Jacobs)

(Gwen Stefani in LAMB)

  

And obviously let my US Weekly subscription lapse, cuz when did these two get back together???

(Sienna Miller in Pucci and Jude Law)

But hands down the best look of the evening belongs to:

(Dreamboat Christopher Bailey

and non-descript young'in white girl actress  #4)
