Behind-The-Scenes Chanel Video

 Kristen Stewart, Lily Collins & Keira Knightley Stun In Behind-The-Scenes Chanel Video
Some of our fave ladies from Hollywood are starring in the new Chanel campaign for the jewelry line, such as Kristen Stewart, 25, Keira Knightley, 30, and Lily Collins, 26. The behind the scenes video is amazing and everyone had such great things to say about the legendery designer, Karl Lagerfeld.
Kristen has been in countless Chanel campaigns, in fact, we can’t remember the last time she wasn’t in one. So, it is no surprise that she had nothing but amazing things to say about the designer in this BTS vid. “I’m sure that as an artist Karl works instinctively and compulsively in the same way that he does all of his mediums, but really as a photographer there’s such a naturalism like once he’s seen something, you could be done in 5 minutes and you don’t even realize that you just finished the entire thing because he just knows sort of exactly what he wants.”
Karl took the pics of all these gals in Mademoiselle Chanel “to create a series of iconic portraits.” All of the girls were photographed wearing pieces from the re-edition of the “Bijoux de Diamants”, “the only High Jewellery collection designed by Gabrielle Chanel in 1932, and CHANEL Haute Couture pieces that were specifically created for them.”
Lily-Rose Melody Depp gushed, “Whats really incredible about shooting with Karl is that he really knows how to bring out the best in someone which then brings out the best in the clothes, which is a good relationship in that sense and the photos always end up looking really amazing.”
While her mom, Vanessa Paradis, and long-time Chanel muse spoke in beautiful French saying, “Gabrielle Chanel revolutionized fashion. She was amongst the first to dress women in menswear. At a time that women wore suffocating corsets, she went looking for freedom.”
Then, of course, our fave gal, Keira said, “These are incredibly contemporary and it is amazing that this ring was created in 1932. I’ve not seen anything like it recently. It feels very modern – I mean it’s just a very beautiful thing – I suppose its timeless and modern at the same time. But I think the whole collection is a really stunning collection and the fact that it was designed so many years ago, and yet its still so current is the magic of Chanel.”

Lily-Rose Depp Models for 'Vogue' Paris


Lily-Rose Depp Models for 'Vogue' Paris; Moschino's Windex iPhone Cases Are Already Sold Out
Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis' daughter, Lily-Rose Depp, has officially solidified her place in high-fashion by landing an editorial for Vogue Paris. The 16-year-old, who has already worked her way into Karl Lagerfeld's heart and starred in an eyewear campaign for Chanel, was stunning in the edgy photos shot by Inez and Vinoodh.
Moschino's spring 2016 collection hit the runway just this afternoon in Milan, but an item from the brand's shoppable capsule collection is already sold out. A $95 Windex iPhone case, part of an entire Windex-themed look that Jeremy Scott sent down the car wash-themed runway, is no longer available for purchase. Bummer.
In honor of Superbowl 50, which will be held in Santa Clara, Calif., the NFL is launching a women's apparel collection with a gold "50" logo, which celebrates the Bay Area's gold-mining heritage. Brands like Nike and Majestic will be participating in the collection, which will debut at the NFL Style Showdown at Artbeam. Though the game isn't until Feb. 7 of next year, women can purchase apparel online at the NFL's shop as early as Oct. 15.

Windswept Waves & Pale Pink Lips


Michelle Obama Greets The Pope With Windswept Waves & Pale Pink Lips
First Lady Michelle Obama was all smiles as she stood alongside husband Barack Obama, and their daughters Malia Obama and Sasha Obama as the Pope arrived in Washington D.C. Wearing her lob styled in loose waves with soft eyeshadow and a pale pink lip, Michelle looked gorgeous for the papal visit.
With all of her travels and meetings with heads of state over the years, Michelle has become a pro at knowing exactly what to wear for every occasion. For the first papal visit since 2008, she opted for a simple pale blue dress with high-neck and belted detailing.
Keeping her beauty look reserved as well, Michelle styled her hair in undone waves (a smart move considering all of the wind the Pope’s jet created while landing). For her makeup, neutral eyeshadows and a soft pink lip like Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Lip Colour in Pink Pout to complete her sophisticated look.
Michelle Obama’s Beauty Look While Meeting The Pope
The Pope first announced his trip to the U.S. in November 2014, and his meeting with the First Family makes him just the third pope to visit Washington D.C. and meet with the president. After meeting with the President, the Pope will head to New York City where he’ll hold mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral before ending his U.S. tour in Philadelphia.

The 2015 Emmys


Kerry Washington Is Wearing Marc Jacobs at the 2015 Emmys
Kerry Washington stepped out in a Marc Jacobs gown (straight from the designer's spring collection) on the red carpet at the 2015 Emmy Awards, held at the Microsoft Theater on Sunday (Sept. 20) in Los Angeles.
The actress is presenting at this evening's awards. Her co-star Khandi Alexander is nominated for the role of Maya Lewis on the ABC show.
Styled by Erin Walsh, she donned an embroidered metallic dot lace three-quarter length sleeve v-neck gown with embellished shoulders, a degrade gold sequin scalloped hem and side slits.
Washington's ensemble is particularly exciting because he just showed his spring 2016 collection on Thursday, Sept. 17 at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York, meaning, Kerry and stylist Walsh snagged the newest hottest dress right off the runway.
Jacobs has rarely ever had a gown from his own eponymous collection walk the runway (though he had many a gown on the red carpet when he designed for Louis Vuitton). When his company recently hired celebrity wrangler Celine Khavarani away from many years at Prada, it did seem he’d be making a play for the red carpet — as reported first by THR. Now it’s clear he is, and it will be interesting to watch his own collection add lots of carpet-worthy evening — and who gets to wear them.

Lorde Had the Perfect Beauty Solution for Her Sensitive Skin


Fashion week is hard enough when you're a model or an editor running around between shows in the sweltering New York heat, but it's even harder when you're an international popstar traveling the world for months at a time to perform and occasionally dropping by to support a fellow musician by sitting front row at his fashion show.
Like the trooper that she is, however, Lorde managaed to do just that. Wedged between Kourtney Kardashian and Riccardo Tisci at pal Kanye West's Yeezy Season 2 presentation, the singer managed to take in the all the sights to be seen at the show — despite a rather irritated eyeball.
Understandably, Lorde did not want to miss the spectacle, so the 18-year-old came up with the perfect solution for her sensitive skin: She decided not to wear makeup on half of her face.
"the skin is peeling off my lips and hands these days i very rarely see the sun and my eye is weeping and screaming and it's fashion week and everyone already thinks i'm strange and it's a kanye show where the freaks are beautiful so why not say fuck it and let's dance with the melodrama?" she captioned an Instagram showing her puffy red right eye juxtaposed next to the perfectly winged liner on her left eye.
Once at the show, Lorde seemed unconcerned by her uneven beauty look, even taking the chance to pose with Drake, whom "low key" referred to her as his "wifey" via Instagram. Do we smell a collaboration brewing in the future? Fingers crossed.

Malin Akerman Only Wears Pink


Malin Akerman Only Wears Pink If It's "Edgy"
“One of the first magazines I was ever in, I wore a Milly dress and have just fallen in love since then,” said Orange Is the New Black’s Samira Wiley at the Milly spring 2016 show on Tuesday.
The actress had just returned from L.A. and was attending her first show of the season. “I’m working the rest of the week, having some fun today,” she said, before being called to pose for photographs with fellow front-row attendee actress Malin Åkerman.
“I became a big fan just recently, this year,” said Åkerman, in a bold pink Milly top and skirt. “I love the colors, the cuts. It’s just funky and edgy and right up my alley. I usually wouldn’t wear pink, but because of the way this is cut — it’s just very edgy.”
Åkerman, who will next star in the legal thriller Beyond Deceit with Oscar winners Anthony Hopkins and Al Pacino, is “taking it easy” this fashion week, explaining that it was her son’s first week of preschool. “I want to be there for him — drop him off, pick him up from school. That’s my priority.” The actress attended DVF earlier in the week and planned to make an appearance at Ralph Lauren, she said.
Plus-size model Ashley Graham was also in attendance, as was Solange Knowles (who refused interviews, echoing similar sentiments earlier in the week), taking her seat seconds before the show began.
FKA Twigs' “Figure 8” blasted as models, showcasing a natural face and slicked back hair, unveiled a collection full of strapless and off the shoulder pieces, plunging necklines — neutral and colorful solids, bold prints and stripes — accessorized with choker necklaces and strappy, black heeled sandals. Following the final look, Milly designer Michelle Smith came out to applause with her two young children in hand, and soon, Knowles could be seen posing for selfies with fans, as she made her way backstage.

Orange Is the New Black's


This Is How 'Orange Is the New Black's' Dascha Polanco Preps for the Emmys
She must get really sick of the prison-inspired makeup and hair required for playing Dayanara Diaz on Orange Is the New Black, because in her spare time actress Dascha Polanco really mixes it up. She sat front row — her first time! — at Mara Hoffman’s show Saturday, which was the perfect place to debut her new rose-gold bob.
The actress, who has rocked gray and garnet red locks before now as well as countless cuts, styles and textures is a bit of a beauty chameleon. Her hair stylist Cynthia Alvarez — who also works with Keke Palmer and Adrienne Bailon — was responsible for this new change that she said was a "very difficult process to get rose gold. We were embracing color tones and our undertones as Latinas," said Polanco before the show.
As for the Emmys, she says they're procrastinating on the dress, but that since "last year I did kind of a princess-y thing, this year I’m going for va-va-voom — embrace those curves!" She may not have a gown picked out, but she did mention she feels loyal to Houghton — "she’s my go-to designer" — whose show she’ll attend on Monday.
And she has her pre-awards show ritual down pat: "Juicing, body scrubs, massage — it’s all about healthy skin, feeling great and clean, and then I fragrance it up!" said Polanco. "I have a whole ritual about fragrancing myself up." At this particular show she layered handmade shea butter with jasmine, Dove spray, L’Occitane shimmer and Ralph Lauren Romance ($41). "It depends on what the mood is. I’m into [Le Labo] Santal For award shows I wear all my exclusives, like Creed or L’Artisan. Or this fire one, it’s woodsy and a men’s cologne that’s exclusive to Barneys. It’s a men’s fragrance I like to wear at awards shows."

DJ Mia Moretti Joins The RealReal as an Ambassador


Some partnerships are seemingly just for show, but DJ Mia Moretti's new role as fashion and arts ambassador for luxury consignment site The RealReal actually is hands-on. The former MAC collaborator kicks things off Wednesday at 7 a.m. PT with a curated sale featuring goodies by Chanel, Marni, Etro and more.
Along with hand-picking pieces for this sale, Moretti will be curating editorial content, styling look books for the site and taking the lead on new philanthropic and artistic initiatives. As for why The RealReal wanted the DJ on its team, she has impeccable taste — she cites a new gold Hermes scarf as something she themed her entire suitcase around, and her can't-travel-without pieces include a Missoni bikini, practical ladylike flats and an evening bag. But her whole approach to building an ensemble is inspiring and fantastic.
"There's really no rhyme or reason to getting ready," says Moretti of selecting her outfit for a gig. "I usually put a bit of Ella Fitzgerald on my record player, pour a glass of wine and just start decorating. It's like decorating a room really. You start with one piece and build from there. It's usually the shiny and new piece that I start with, because it's so hard to resist that new find." Amen, sister.

Kristen Stewart Stuns in Sparkling Dress and Goes Barefoot


Kristen Stewart Stuns in Sparkling Dress and Goes Barefoot at 2015 Venice Film Festival
Hey, heels hurt.
Kristen Stewart smiled, got comfy and kicked off her pumps as she settled into a seat at a premiere screening of her newest film, Equals, at the 2015 Venice Film Festival in Italy on Saturday.
The actress, best known for her role in the Twilight films, wore a stunning, sparkling, gray lace and satin color-block tea-length Chanel fall 2015 Couture dress with elbow-length sleeves, an asymmetrical, scalloped hem, sheer overlays with silver embellishments and shoulder straps. She rocked the look on the red carpet, pairing it with metallic pointed pumps and a dark berry lip color.
The actress has often kicked off her shoes and gone barefoot at movie premieres, such as last month's Los Angeles premiere of American Ultra.
Equals, a dystopian sci-fi film, stars X-Men star Nicholas Hoult as Stewart's love interest. A U.S. release date has not been announced.
"Thank you to Venice and for everyone's support," Hoult, 25, said on Twitter. "Very special memories made with the #Equals gang this weekend. So proud of them all."
