Amber.Stardoll- French actress, Marion Cotillard, is probably one of the most beautiful celebs ever! Don't you agree? She has a timeless beauty that is just graceful, classic, and gorgeous! And she's French!
Marion is currently starring in the movie, Contagion, and we spotted her on the red carpet looking lovelier than ever! She wore an amazing Dior Fall 2011 gown which she paired with smokey eyes, pink lips, and milkmaid braids! It's very rare that we see milkmaid braids on the red carpet and we think it's so bold and lovely!
To get glam milkmaid braids like Marion follow these five steps!
1. Divide your hair into two even sections.
2. French braid one section and tie the end with a clear elastic band. Repeat with the other section.
3. Bring one section up to the middle of the top of your head, secure the end with a bobby pin.
4. Bring the other section up and to the middle, folding it over the end of the first section, and tucking it's ends in the first braid to hide them.
5. Use hairspray to secure the braids and bobby pins to tame flyways!
And voila!

Alexander Wang‘s become a sort of young master of sporty chic. He’s referenced football, accessorized collections with reflectors and even introduced sneakers for fall. But for spring, he’s taken the anoraks and parkas that figured so heavily into that fall collection and found a way to make them warm weather appropriate: break them down into dresses. The swishy, waterproof-looking material morphed into tough girl day (or cocktail, depending on the shoes) dresses with enough pockets and zippers to be a reasonable outfit for an unusually fashion forward bike messenger. You might have to swap out the stilettos, but you’ll want to keep the cross body bags.

- In an effort to salvage her status, Paris Hilton, is aiming for a new angle: she wants to be The Most Powerful House DJ....EVER.
Yes, you read that right. Paris wants to become a DJ. A House DJ. In fact, Paris is working really hard (surprise, surprise) to learn the art of DJing, sources said, "[Paris] has been traveling the world to shadow some super-famous DJs to get some guidance for her upcoming house music album." Apparently Paris is in Ibiza right now and is hanging out with David Guetta! Her goal is to release her album before the end of the year. After spending so much time in clubs, maybe Paris will actually be a great DJ? We're not really sure if she'll have anything original to offer but at least something fun...er, we mean hot! (tmz)

According to yesterday’s shows, laid-back luxe is next spring’s big theme. At Costello Tagliapietra, Tess Giberson, and Doo.Ri relaxed sophistication ruled—in fact, we may have even spotted a bathrobe turned evening dress at one… At Costello, fashion’s favorite burly duo took on the 30′s with fluttering sleeves and soft silhouettes, mostly fashioned in sandy tones with bits of kelly green and cerulean. A pairing of abstract floral-y prints (an modern interpretation of the decade’s sweet-pea fare) were manufactured using new Air Dye technology, an eco-friendly technique that reduces textile production’s pollutant aftereffects. All of this was translated into the brand’s signature draped dresses that delicately emphasized the female form with that sense of Clara Bow knowing innocence. Doo Ri Chung also employed draping techniques, starting things off with a modified tuxedo shirtdress that was lightly gathered on the bias. Chung’s collection progressed with a series of louche pants and dresses, constructed of white poplin, linen tweed, and jersey—some embellished with string. Cutting through the airy whites were silkscreened stencil florals and injections of ’ultra-violet’ and ‘citron,’ an attempt at updating the designer’s trademark draped cocktail wear—a simplistic formula that doesn’t really need much tweaking. Rounding out the group was a great, focused collection by Tess Giberson, whose downtown ease was evident in multiple pairs of printed sheer palazzo pants and lightweight haphazard knits affixed to mesh T shirts. The most covetable of Giberson’s pieces were easy monochromatic suits and oddly enough, an oversized blue anorak—the kind of quintessential spring pieces that any girl could throw on for every occasion.

Yesterday, at his first stateside presentation, Mark Fast debuted his premier shoe effort. The shoes, produced in collaboration with ALDO, accompanied his diffusion line, Faster, and were inspired by “the industrial creation of garments,” Fast told us. For spring, Faster’s crochet bodysuits and bodycon dresses are fashioned in chalky pastels and are tight, tight, tight. Fast said he’s into creating a second skin to give women the chance to, “get across a message of confidence.” Later, at Hexa by Kuho, Jung Kuho showed off his tailoring skills in a spring collection that looked like what we imagine the most fashion-forward army brats to wear through the streets of Seoul—sharp jackets, shorts, and shirts (sometimes combined into onesies) in a palette of white, teal, and burgundy topped off with military crests. Simultaneously concise and experimental, more than one editor was spellbound by Kuho’s innovative craftsmanship.

- While out in Paris, actress, Evan Rachel Wood, didn't have quite the night she was expecting! Another party goer elbowed Evan in the face and knocked out her tooth! Evan's rep said that everyone was dancing and it was purely an accident, but still...OW!
Evan has already met with a dentist for a replacement tooth, thank goodness! We're glad she wasn't hurt worse, those clubs can be dangerous. ;) Keep on smilin' Evan! (usmagazine)

It’s not so shocking that John Galliano was found guilty of hurling anti-Semitic slurs by a Paris court last night. After all, the “alleged” incident was caught on camera. But with a verdict comes a sentence: the former Dior designer will have to pay an almost $24,000 fine, about $10,000 less than the maximum fine allowed by law, and serve none of the possible 6 months in jail. Galliano, who wasn’t present in court when the verdict was read, claimed to not remember anything about the incident. During the trial he admitted to suffering from alcohol addiction, as well as pain killers, but said he couldn’t recall the run in at La Perle. Meanwhile, the world still waits for news of Dior’s new director!

Who knew Alexander Wang was so in touch with his inner-bro? The designer threw a frat party on the Westside Highway last night, and we do mean a real life frat party. There were actual bathtubs full of Budweiser, bartenders in USC football tees, beer pong tables, video games, neon signs and hot dogs on the grill—of course, the crowd veered more hipster than Kappa Sig. Odd Future performed and the MAC-provided glow sticks brought out everyone’s inner raver. We spotted Hanne Gaby Odiele dominating the Wii games while Wang himself treated the hanging blow-up dolls like pinatas. Meanwhile, across the street, Barneys was feting their fall collaboration with Carine Roitfeld at Westway, the former strip club. The dress code was a bit fancier: we spotted loads of Christopher Kane and a few stellar vintage frocks, but the party will go down in history for one major reason: Valentino hopped on stage to do karaoke to Frank Sinatra’s “My Way.” Needless to say, the crowd went wild.

With her sophisticated demeanor, a subtle space in her front teeth and a diligent work ethic, 19 year-old Cris Urena kicked off her first New York fashion week with Peter Som’s Hawaiian themed show at Milk yesterday morning followed by Band of Outsiders and Ruffian. Fortunately, the Dominican-born, Massachusetts raised beauty has a smart personality to match her sweet looks. The former nursing student sat down to chat Christopher Kane, suspenders, and sneezing on the runway.
