Halle Berry Style: Bulgari Ostrich Bag

Bulgari (usually written “BVLGARI” in ancient Roman style) has been setting the pace for over 100 years now on the most elegant and stunning pieces of jewelry. The Italian design house has ventured into the realm of handbags and has done so exquisitely. Halle Berry, who is expecting her first child with model boyfriend Gabriel Aubry, was spotted shopping in LA carrying a Bulgari Bag in olive ostrich. Halle was glowing and looked very happy while she shopped at Minotti, a store famous for their exquisitely-designed sofas and chairs. Her handbag really stands out, which features black patent leather shoulder straps with gold-plated ring detail. The handbag also features two outside pockets on either end. The handbag is elegant and classy, just as Halle Berry is. The price is quite steep, but that is to be expected from the Italian luxury house. $8,050 at Bvlgari.

Mariah Careys big night out

Apparently Mariah Carey is now so famous that she needs an escort with her everywhere she goes!
Or at least, she had two hunky escorts lead her out of Villa club in New York last night, and that’s practically the same thing!

For her big night out Mariah sported an oversized corset belt teamed with a black fine knit sweater, black trousers and a shrunken black leather biker jacket.
Obligatory oversized celeb shades finished the glamourous look.
Well, when your as famous as Mariah you do need to wear your big shades. At night. Apparently.

Katie Holms in in Posh’s style

Two Become One … will the real Posh please step forward

SPOT the difference?
Is it just us, or have we seen Katie’s look somewhere before?
Bronzed bare legs. Sky-high Louboutins. A nose-bleedingly high hemline. Mega sunnies. A bright, pap-friendly outfit.
And now that Posh has gone back to her brunette roots we doubt even Tom or David could tell the difference between the two.
Taking inspiration from your trendy mates is one thing.
But it looks like Mrs Tom Cruise has been studying pal Posh’s style a little too closely.
There’s no doubting she looks great.
But the Dawson’s Creek star has completely replaced her natural, girl-next-door beauty with the high maintenance grooming that Posh is famous for.
Since meeting through their husbands, Vics has been guiding Katie through the scary world of A-list dressing.
And following a visit to the shows in Paris it seemed like they would be a fashion fabulous duo.
But instead of developing her own style, Katie’s look has taken a sinister Single White Female-esque turn in the last year.
She’s even been copying VB’s poses and handbags!
Check out our slideshow above to see the stages of Katie’s transformation and how Two Became One.

Eva Longoria Parker - Stars Show Off

The 133-square-foot master closet in Eva Longoria Parker’s L.A. home is full of gorgeous gowns, shoes, shirts—and a coveted Hermes hot-pink crocodile Birkin bag. Taking a glance through her impressive shoe collection she calls her Christian Louboutin espadrille wedges “a beautiful pain” (she sprained her ankle wearing them in Paris) and says she has “always dressed for comfort”, which is easily confirmed by the 50 pairs of jeans and more than one pair of Ugg boots. “Tony loves me in Uggs. He says, ‘Wear your Hugs, honey’—that’s how he pronounces it with his French accent.”

Britney’s How I Met Your Mother wardrobe up for sale

Everything about Britney Spears is for sale. Her private life is bought for top dollar by the tabloids from those closest to her. The family, desperate for money is pawning off her jewelry and cars. And word on the street is that Brit’s How I Met Your Mother wardrobe is going to be auctioned off as well.

This is a little different though. The 6 items that are for sale are being auctioned to benefit the environmental organization, the Natural Resources Defense Council.
Tonight’s How I Met Your Mother episode features Britney as a flirty receptionist. As soon as the episode is over the auction begins. Among the items up for grabs are a navy print Juicy Couture dress, a yellow Nannette Lepore dress and a cream Nannette Lepore cardigan with blue flower details.
Good thing the clothes being auctioned off are from the show, picked out by a wardrobe stylist. I don’t think anyone would actually buy clothes this fashion train wreck wears in real life.

Paris finally going to Africa

Paris Hilton popped up at Orso on March 14 to celebrate her mama Kathy Hilton’s birthday, which was followed with a little shopping at a local party store. I just have to say… this outfit is like the epitome of Paris Hilton’s style: SUPER matchy matchy, ultra girly pink dress, bronzed to oblivion and on the phone. First, P.Hil decided that she liked turquoise that day, but didn’t just grab her turquoise bag. Oh no. It was a bag, shoes AND a bracelet. Classic Paris. Next up was a floral pink dress (like Betsey Johnson’s Satin Bow Dress in Pink, or, if you’re style is a little more subdued than Paris’-and whose isn’t- check out Walter’s Pink Paisley Bow Dress in Multi) with white Wayfie-inspired shades and a white headband. Finally, Paris couldn’t forget the big flashy ring, like Femme Metale’s Gemstone Ring in Sterling Silver. If you read the headline of this entry, you might be thinking that Paris is finally heading to Africa to make that charity trip to Rwanda that she’s been promising for so long. Wrong! Hilton is actually going to South Africa to be with new BF Benji Madden and his band Good Charlotte, as they have a concert there on Friday. Nice try, though!

Paris Hilton seen in Los Angeles, CA on Mar 14 2008.

Paula Abdul Stars Show Off Their Wardrobes

The American Idol judge has an impressive walk-in closet in her 5,000 square foot Mediterranean style home in the San Fernando valley. All her outfits and coordinating accessories are numbered with tags so she can easily pack for trips and events. Her impressive shoe collection is made up mostly of high-heels—”I always wear heels unless I’m working out,” says Paula Abdul, who is just over five feet. Even with all of those shoes the former choreographer claims, “A comfortable pair of jeans, a great belt, and a leather jacket is all I need.”

T he worsen

BRITTANY MURPHY is the latest star to get lippy with an OTT trout pout.

The newly married actress showed off her painful looking new accessory at New York Fashion Week.

And she’s not the only mouthy star to indulge in a bit of pout plumping.

Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera have all sported suspiciously large lips.

And starlet Jessica Simpson is well known for her sexy, sulky mouth.

But not all stars get it right.

Actress Lesley Ash became the face of the ‘trout pout’ after a botched collagen procedure left her with lips to rival a rubber ring.


And reality TV star Pete Burns is more famous for his plastic surgery addiction than his hits as Dead or Alive frontman.
Popular US plastic surgeon Dr Tony Youn writes a blog on celebrity plastic surgery.
He says:
“Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johannsen, and even Julia Roberts have inspired many celebs to augment their lips, sometimes to unnatural sizes.
“The main sign of an overdone lip is an alteration of the natural lip proportions.
“The lower lip should be 1.5 times the size of the upper lip.
“Unfortunately, many celebrities, such as Brittany Murphy and Britney Spears have over-plumped their upper lips to make them larger than the lower lips.

“This ‘trout pout’ look works best in ducks.
“As long as celebs keep the proportions of their upper lip to their lower lip to 1:1.5, they will likely look pretty natural.”
See if you can guess which celebs the larger than life lips belong to on the right.

Worst dressed celebrities of the year

InTouch did a reader poll to find out which female celebrity deserves the title of Worst Fashion Offender of the year. Obviously the Olsen twins won. Is anyone really surprised by that?

But, there were a few shockers too. Victoria Beckham was on the list. Personally, I think she dresses well. Her style isn’t all that original, but it’s certainly not bad enough to be considered offensive!

Anyways, the rundown goes like this: Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, Courtney Love, Sharon Stone, Victoria Beckham, Tilda Swinton, Lindsay Lohan, Amy Winehouse. Let’s discuss.

Courtney Love and Sharon Stone are basically permanent hot messes. All in favor of their placement on the list say, “Ay.” AY!!!!

Lindsay Lohan has long since worn out the welcome of leggings as part of fashion. They were cute for about a minute, when properly placed underneath long tunic tops or short dresses — not as pants.

Amy Winehouse constantly looks dirty and drugged, so I think it’s safe to say she probably doesn’t even realize what she’s wearing half the time. I feel like we can’t hold her responsible for the horrible fashion choices she has made.

Tilda Swinton isn’t enough of a Hollywood player to be on this list (and I do mean fashion wise, because I realize she’s an amazing actress). Sure, her Oscar dress was bad. Really bad. But, aside from that can you actually remember any other outfit she’s worn to any other event? I doubt it.

The choice of Victoria Beckham totally confuses me, but I already said that. And, as for the Olsen twins, love ‘em or hate ‘em, they always keep people in the fashion world talking.

Do you disagree or agree with the women on this list?

Celebrity Style: Claudia Schiffer

 

Claudia Schiffer changed her hairstyle.

She wore a brunette colored bobbed wig at a fashion shoot for Karl lagerfield. The rest of her outfit was themed in the 1920s style.

She wore a woven sweater dress and had heavily made up eyes. Claudia wore patterned panty hose and white boots with black toe boxes. Her legs and footwear did not comply to the retro look.


This fashion shoot was done in Harlem, New York. Harlem had undergone some rejuvenation and this shoot was meant to highlight the changes across time.

Karl evidently thought that Harlem’s historic brownstone houses demanded a retro look and had his model dressed to fit the location.
