Fashion Star: Actress Fan Bingbing's Flawless Style

Celebrity | 16 April 2012

Every once in awhile, a starlet comes onto the scene with a style that deserves an encore.

Allow me to introduce you to Chinese actress Fan Bingbing. She’s on this month’s cover of Vogue China and is already a huge star in her home country. She’s edging her way into American films and has already earned some notability as a style maven on American red carpets and aces it every. Single. Time.

So let’s get to know my new style crush, Fan Bingbing!

Fan Bingbing channeling her masculine and femnine side for Vogue. She looks amazing!

Most people would be overpowered by such a strong look, but Bingbing holds her own and looks so elegant.

From red carpet to the street, Bingbing can do no wrong. Yeah, I want those glasses.

Bingbing is a master of retro hair. Here she is channeling Lucille Ball in Louis Vuitton.

Bits of quirkiness (like this clutch with an attached heart) are what keep me so interested. She really looks like she has fun with her style.

Are you crushing? Check out more of her spread from this month’s issue of Vogue China!

Charmed by Audrey: Life on the Set of Sabrina

Celebrity | 11 April 2012

by Laurie Hartt

If any of you have seen the 1954 Oscar-winning film Sabrina, you’ll know that Audrey Hepburn was her ever-timeless, beautiful self all throughout the film. When I stumbled upon this incredible stash of behind-the-scenes shots by photographer Mark Shaw, I thought, “Oh – maybe we’ll see what magic movie star looks like when they’re having a bad hair day.” Sadly, it’s not the case. I don’t think Miss Hepburn could have a bad day if she tried.

Entitled Charmed by Audrey, these photos were originally shot for a feature in Life magazine to capture all her daily movements, from hair-washing to acting to studying her script. Surprisingly, most of the originals were lost for over fifty years and it wasn’t until 2008 that Shaw’s first wife found them hidden away in dusty boxes and had them published. I just love these pictures! Her mega-watt smile literally lights up everyone, and they give us some really neat insight to the Hollywood of the Golden Era.

Thank goodness for inquisitive women! Enjoy!

Who knew superstars washed their own cars?!

I’m kinda diggin’ the flamingo bedspread in the background!

Fit For a Queen: Kate Moss for Vogue

Celebrity | 29 March 2012

by Tegan Silva

Runway goddess, Kate Moss, is featured in Vogue’s April issue, where she channels a modern day Marie Antoinette in beautiful couture gowns truly fit for a queen.

Photographed by Tim Walker and styled by Grace Coddington, Kate lounges around in the luxurious Ritz Paris Hotel, decked head-to-toe in Christian Dior, Alexander McQueen, Chanel, Givenchy, Balenciaga, and Armani Prive, to name a few.

The famous hotel plays a perfect setting for Ms. Moss’ dramatic wear and is a last hurrah of sorts before it begins an extensive two-year renovation. (It hasn’t been renovated since the 1800s!) The photos are gorgeous and would not look out of place at the Palace of Versailles!

Retro Fox: Grace Slick

What with Coachella firing up in like three weeks, and the entire 2012 festival season beginning to buzz, I thought I’d pick out one of my favorite music and style icons from the 1960′s and 70′s; Grace Slick. If the name isn’t sounding familiar, perhaps you’ve heard a little song called “Somebody to Love” or “White Rabbit”. That’s right Grace was the lead singer for Jefferson Airplane, a San Francisco-based group that helped define the psychedelic rock era.

Today we can all take a little style inspiration as we order our festival tickets and plan out our Boho looks. From paisley Kaftans to belted army jackets with beads, it’s time to soak up some killer festival digs!

Grace rockin’ it at Woodstock. I could basically just LIVE in that fringed white getup for the whole weekend.

Looking very chic in the studio dressed in all black with a high ponytail, and are those the Jeffrey Campbell Benatars on her feet???
