    Tobey Maguire stars in the new Prada campaign for AW12. It’s not that we forgot about Maguire, but he’s been flying under the radar since Brothers, his last big film, came out in 2009. In 2012 he’ll star in The Life of Pi and play Nick Carraway in Baz Luhrman’s hugely anticipated The Great Gatsby, but in the meantime he’s upping his fashion cred. David Sims shot the actor in turtlenecks, one argyle and one layered underneath a v-neck sweater. Maguire’s looking particularly Cullen-like with his pale skin, empty gaze and tousled hair. Is this a look you’d want your boyfriend rocking come fall?

    Yelling to the Sky, the new indie starring Zoe Kravitz and Gabourey Sidibe, is the kind of film best at home at the ultra-cool Gen Art Film Festival. It’s edgy, uncompromising and overflowing with young talent. The Festival, which comes to a close tomorrow, zeroes in on emerging filmmakers and follows each screening with a Q&A and an afterparty, making Gen Art the most audience-accessible of all NYC’s major film festivals.

    A few months ago rumors surfaced that Angelina Jolie would be the newest face of Louis Vuitton’s Core Values campaign. The campaign’s supposed to promote real Louis Vuitton-lovers in their natural settings—as though Annie Liebovitz just stumbled upon Sean Connery, Mikhail Gorbachev or Sofia Coppola toting their worn in Vuitton—to extol their original virtue: a love of travel. The established cultural figures are supposed to contrast with (and attract a different customer than) the house’s starlet and model-starring fashion campaigns so they’ve achieved a bit of a cross over with Jolie. The mom of six poses in Cambodia next to her perfectly aged Alto carryall—a style the brand doesn’t even produce anymore. “We are considering to re-edit it,” Vuitton’s EVP told WWD.  It’s a good idea considering all of the promotion surrounding the campaign including exclusive videos with Jolie hitting the web later this week and a huge market buy ranging from newspapers to fashion and news magazines. As for that rumored $10 million check, Vuitton will only say that Jolie donated a significant part of her fee to charity.  Color us shocked!

    It was a weird case of life imitating art when Kate Middleton stepped out in the same sparkling Jenny Packham dress that Blair Waldorf wore on Gossip Girl when she was about to become a fake princess.  They both look great—and this is the most play Packham’s received in years.  The new Duchess appears to have lost even more weight then she did pre-wedding (maybe trying to squelch those pregnancy rumors?), but the real questions is who wore it better, the real princess or the fake?

    Humans moonlighting as vampires come to an end with Twilight’s Breaking Dawn set to release this summer. Which makes it a perfect time to introduce a new villain in town—don’t worry, he’s cute, too. Meet MTV’s new Teen Wolf star, Tyler Posey, who plays Scott McCall. Move over Taylor Lautner, there’s a new teen wolf in town. He’s got more than wolf in his blood.

    Who: Jaime King

    What: Wednesday’s premiere of Super 8 at the Regency Village Theatre in Westwood, California

    Wear: Proenza Schouler dress, Jimmy Choo clutch, and Brian Atwood pumps

    Jaime King showed up to the premiere of J.J. Abrams’ much-hyped action flick, Super 8, looking hype-worthy herself. King chose an embellished coral and lavender dress straight off Proenza Schouler’s spring 2011 runway and mastered its tricky midi-length hem. Allowing the dress to speak for itself as one of that electrifying color combination should, the actress went simple with the rest of her look, styling her blonde tresses into a deeply-parted wavy bob (almost exactly like the runway look), and accessorizing with a minimal cocktail ring, a boxy encrusted clutch, and black satin Maniac pumps by Brian Atwood.

    Juergen Teller leaked a still from the Marc Jacobs AW11 campaign on his Tumblr last night. In it, Helena Bonham Carter wears a pink sequined dress with one of the navy plastic berets Marc’s models wore down the runway. She’s not in a shopping bag a la Victoria Beckham but she is sort of flailing around, or attempting a backwards bend? The Marc Jacobs campaign marks the first official alliance between the actress and a designer.  She usually wears Vivienne Westwood on the red carpet and has her own line, Pantaloonies, but she’s never actually posed for an ad. Though she frequents the weeklies’ worst dressed lists, we look forward to her livening up the red carpet.  And hey, if anyone can make a plastic beret look like an essential part of any outfit, it’s Helena.

    Who: Demi Moore
    What: Tuesday night’s 9th Annual Samsung Hope for Children Gala at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City
    Wear: Louis Vuitton dress and bag, Jimmy Choo heels, M.C.L. by Matthew Campbell Laurenza drop earrings, and Neil Lane ring

    Last night Demi Moore joined Jennifer Lopez, Padma Lakshmi, Selita Ebanks, and former President Bill Clinton at Samsung’s Hope for Children Gala to help raise funds for the charity. Moore’s black Louis Vuitton dress sashayed with glistening strands and feather accouterments lining the deep-V neckline. The 48-year old actress completed her sweeping outfit with strappy Jimmy Choos, and glimmering jewelry that’s impossible not to notice (along with those toned arms).

    Last night, Chloë Sevigny, who in many ways is the ultimate anti-fashion Fashion girl, held her own runway show. The New York scenester/actress/too soon for icon? has been designing clothes with her friends at Opening Ceremony since 2007 and if you’ve walked down a street, any street, in lower Manhattan you’ve probably seen them, but last night she got to create an entire scene.  She chose a high school gym on Mulberry (appropriately enough, it’s the site of the New Designer’s Market) and set the stage with an installation from her good friend Chris Wing.

    Last night, the British Fashion Council announced this year’s NEWGEN winners. The program, which is similar to the CFDA’s young designer awards, gives those with extra promise a shot at the big time, or at least London Fashion Week. Christopher Kane, Erdem, Mary Katranzou, Mark Fast—they’ve all gone through NEWGEN sponsorship and emerged to lead the pack of ubiquitous young Brits.  This year, Holly Fulton, David Koma, Louise Gray and Michael Van der Ham have won the prize money for the spring summer 2012 season.  Van der Ham, who’s currently working on a collaboration with Christian Louboutin, and Fulton have benefited from the sponsorship before thanks to Topshop, they’ve spear headed NEWGEN since 2001. Sarah Mower, the BFC’s Talent Ambassador, said, “This is the first crop of NEWGEN winners who’ll be designing for 2012. In the year of the London Olympics, they’re our best young design athletes: Britain’s Team Fashion, in training to represent this country brilliantly for next summer.” Presentations from Craig Lawrence, Dominic Jones and JW Anderson as well as an installation from Jordan Askill will round out the week’s fresh faces.
