Amber.Stardoll- The completley adorable and talented actor, Jason Bateman, is a father again! Last Friday, Jason's wife Amanda Anka (daughter to Paul Anka) gave birth to little Maple Sylvie! They are already parents to the very cute Francesca, who is five! Grandfather Paul announced the pregnancy by saying, “I’m going to be a grandfather again!” We're super happy for the family, but we aren't so sure about the name Maple. Oh well, celebs love their crazy names. (people)

The inspiration for Jenny Packham’s sultry, sequined collection of red carpet-worthy gowns was film noir. For up-and-coming actress Taylor Schilling, the timing couldn’t have been more perfect: “I just started watching all of these Hitchcock movies for the first time—last night I watched Rear Window,” she said. The late-night movie watching may have made waking up for the early morning show a bit difficult, but judging by her glamorous updo and retro-inspired beaded top, she may have found inspiration from Hitchcock’s blonde heroines. “I think I’m in Grace Kelly Land, I think that’s what’s happening,” admitted Schilling. “That kind of [movie], it’s so dramatic, you can really sink into a different world. Whether it’s fashion or telling a story in a film, with film noir it’s a fantasy.” In addition to her elegant looks, Schilling has also landed the leading man—at least, on-screen: In the coming months she’s playing Zac Efron’s dream girl in The Lucky One (based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks, he of The Notebook, A Walk to Remember, and Message in a Bottle fame) and Ben Affleck’s wife in Argo. Who was her first celebrity crush? “If we’re going to be really honest, I used to watch Grease a lot!”

Oh Land and Annie Clark front row at Phillip Lim.

The most common refrains heard when photographers swarm during Fashion Week is, “Who is that?” followed by, “What, exactly, does she do?” But at 3.1 Phillip Lim, the It Girls lining the front row were of the hard-working variety. Both Annie Clark, better known as the singer-songwriter St. Vincent, and Oh Land took a break from recording to attend the show alongside Gia Coppola, who’s been busy shooting videos for fashion brands like United Arrows. In fact, Oh Land has found her Phillip Lim 31 Hour bag quite useful when it comes to toting things in and out of the studio; “I use it all the time—I put my dog in it!” While the Danish musician prefers packing capes when she’s on tour (“It’s really easy to just throw one on and then you don’t have to think about combining a lot of stuff”), when she’s working on new tunes it’s all about light and airy pieces. “I feel like I need to wear loose clothes when I’m recording, and I can’t wear any jewelry, because I need to feel free. So I usually wear really big shirts with flower prints or something that reminds me of freedom,” she explains. Coppola also stays away from overly fussy pieces while working. “You need comfortable shoes because you’re standing all day—definitely not [heels],” she noted. And don’t expect to see her in the same leather pants she wore to the Lim show; as she explained, “I don’t wear leather that often—there’s definitely a time and a place, you need to be at the right event.” But of the three, no one has embraced easy dressing like Clark. “I read once that Albert Einstein picked out one outfit and just stuck with it, and I tend to do that—my style is Einsteinian,” she said, laughing. “I’ve been wearing these Phillip Lim leather shorts for far too long!” It makes packing for tours easy, since Clark usually just brings “a lot of black, because it doesn’t show when it’s dirty—I kind of have a uniform on tour.” As someone who performs for a living, she has trouble just sitting back and enjoying fashion shows. “I still get nervous—for the models! I’m worried that they’re going to trip,” Clark admits. Luckily for her—and everyone else at Phillip Lim—the show went on without a hitch. Click here to see all the fall shows!

Alice + Olivia fall 2012, Imaxtree Alice + Olivia met Alice in Wonderland at this week’s fall 2012 presentation, one of quirkiest of New York Fashion Week. Models embraced each corner of the playful studio with looks that left attendees—including Kevin Jonas and his wife Danielle Jonas, Gossip Girl’s Kelly Rutherford, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, Kristin Chenoweth, and Smash’s Megan Hilty—in a whimsical mood. Glasses of champagne, Magnum ice cream bars, and custom A+O “Nolita” cocktails danced their way around the floor as guests mingled and captured close-ups of the doll-faced models. Designer Stacey Bendet created a line that had something for every Alice + Olivia girl. From body-con sequin gowns that bellowed down to the floor for the glamorous A+O girl to the lace-loving Parisian and of course the tulle-devoted princess.

- We've waited for so long and it seems it's finally about to happen: Hollywood's most popular couple is getting married! According to sources, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's marriage will take place at their 16th-century French château, in a small ceremony. "Brad and Angie have kept this quiet, and they're talking about how and when to announce it," an insider says. Although Brad and Angie earlier said that they wouldn't get married until there is marriage equality in America, it seems they no longer feel like waiting. (okmagazine)

- Whitney Houston's funeral is this weekend, just a week after she was found dead in the bathtube of her Beverly Hills Hotel. The funeral will be a private event, by invitation-only and many celebs and stars are invited. Some are very close to Whitney, like Kevin Costner who starred with Whitney in the 1992 movie, The Bodyguard, where she sang the famous song "I Will Always Love You." Kevin will also speak at the funeral. Both Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder are said to sing at the service, and the funeral will be held at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey where Whitney first sang. It will be a touching memorial to her life and a way for those who love her to say goodbye. We will miss you Whitney. (people)

From left to right, Matthew Hit, Noma Han and Lyle Lodwick.
After a week’s worth of chatting with a slew of lovely ladies—from supermodels Lara Stone and Coco Rocha to buzzed-about beauties Ashley Smith and Ajak Deng—it’s time for a bonus round. We plucked three male models from the center of New York fashion week and subjected them to our model questionnaire. Between Matthew Hitt, Noma Han, and Lyle Lodwick, they’ve walked everything from Balenciaga and Marc Jacobs to Lanvin and Band of Outsiders. Not to mention, two are budding rock musicians, another is concerned with shrinking his ear-plug gauge size, and one has a penchant for Prada dresses. Let the guessing games begin…

Norma Kamali Come March, Kamali is launching a new line, Kamalikulture. Everything in the collection will sell for under $100, focusing on timeless dresses, suiting and swimwear. Available exclusively online, the collection is based on an idea the designer first came up with back in the ’70s, when she wore a lot of vintage dresses from the ’30s: creating “antiques for the future.” Kamali explains: “Like the dresses I was wearing from the ’30s, I wanted my styles to be worn in the future. There are a number of styles in the Kulture collection that I actually designed in 1974, like the all-in-one dress.” Her main collection, too, focuses on the idea of timelessness with a smidge of the ’30s, thanks to polka dots and turbans. Nanette Lepore Flouncy gold lamé dresses and foulard prints popped up in Lepore’s bohemian fall collection, inspired by “tarot reading with Oscar Wilde.” Looks in chartreuse and cyan lent a modern jolt to the gypsy-inspired beaded tops and lace skirts. Levi’s To debut its first ever globally-focused collection (phasing out designs targeted specifically to certain locales like Asia or Europe), Levi’s pulled off another first with the help of 48 models: its debut New York Fashion Week show. The aim was to show the brand in a more elegant and refined way—a vision three years in the making—by working its signature denim in new treatments and silhouettes. Suzanne Rae Young designer Suzanne Rae Pelaez—who, by the way, would love to dress Tilda Swinton—went the “poetic and rock’n'roll” route for fall, inspired by the “internal revolution” of Jim Morrison, Aldous Huxley, and William Blake. Diaphanous white cape blouses and leather corset dresses were juxtaposed against lots of velvet, the first time Pelaez tried her hand at the fabric. Elie Tahari A crowd of cocktail-laden guests mingled in Tahari’s showroom as his models (some of whom were the designer’s friends, family, and staff) chatted, smiled, and moved about their display vignettes. A tight palette of cool blues, greens, and purples colored everything from alpaca fur coats to simple cropped pants.

Though Rachel Zoe was furiously snapping pictures of the sequined evening gowns that closed Michael Kors’ runway collection yesterday, we were lingering on the hotpant-meets-turtleneck silhouette with which he opened the show. Though it may be the least practical thing we’ve seen on a runway thus far, it’s the most appealing and, strangely, flattering. It may not be red carpet appropriate, but we’re determined to find a place—other than Kors’ perfectly glossy runway—in which the outfit makes sense. Click here to see the rest of Kors’ great fall collection!
