January 23rd continued…
16:06 – View Vionnet’s pre-fall collection, the first done by new design duo Barbara and Lucia Croce. This is the first time the Italian twin sisters have worked together professionally and it looks not to be the last. The accessories are particularly chic.
16:45 – Rush back to le Meurice to answer emails. New York is awake!
19:30 – Walk over to l’Hôtel de Crillon for the Giambattista Valli show. All the usual international socials are mixed into the front row with Selma Hayek, Lee Radziwill and Diane Kruger.
19:55 – Diane Kruger uses her iPhone to snap a pic of a gorgeous black, beaded cocktail dress with an exaggerated ruffle at the bottom. I love the little silver metal bow belt; it adds some edge. I wonder if we will see it on the red carpet any time soon?!
20:13 – Back to le Meurice to catch a taxi to the Tod’s event
20:47 – Arrive at Hotel Amour, the scene of Jefferson Hack’s voyeuristic installation for Tod’s. The hotel was divided into vignettes filled with models doing very French things: drawing each other from life, playing cards, getting a massage…all while wearing Tod’s, of course. The party continues downstairs and there’s time for one quick glass of champagne before calling it a night. Must head back to the hotel to begin securing looks from what I have seen that day for our annual Women In Music issue and its cover…and to answer more emails!

10:21 – Hurry out the door to begin a very full day! Today it’s the Céline coat, hair pulled back with a black bow a la Chanel.
10:55 – Arrive at Dior offices for a viewing of their pre-fall collection. Love that the colors reflect the mood of the couture. There is a fabulous black patent leather skirt that is tres chic and tres ELLE.
11:24 – The Dior girls attempt to sneak me upstairs to see the Couture up close in between the very strictly set and secret client appointments. I am only able to get a few photos before I am whisked out of the room again, but I got exactly what I need!
12:05 – Arrive at the Grand Palais, scene of Chanel’s signature mob.
12:11 – Chanel’s know for its elaborate sets which are almost as much a part of the show as the fashion. As I enter, I’m lead down a silver corridor, which feels a bit like a jet way. It empties out into a replica of an airplane cabin complete with passenger-like seats and a steward going up and down the aisle with a cart full of orange juice and champagne.
12:37 – Take off Chanel style! The aisle of the cabin begins to light up from the top of the runway and the models emerge in super galactic stewardess chic. Everything’s in tones of blue; I especially loved the ice blue looks. Sending a picture to our Creative Director Joe Zee while the show is still going on!
12:51 – Cockpit doors open and “Captian Karl” emerges to a roar of applause from the 200 or so attentive “passengers.” Definitely the smallest, most exclusive show yet!

13:04 – Hurry out of the Grand Palais and head to L’Avenue for lunch with TOD’s girl Sarika Rastogi. L’Avenue is THE place for lunch in Paris according to anyone in fashion.
14:15 – After a lovely lunch, must head back to the Grand Palais (this time in the pouring rain) for Armani Privé. No umbrella, must use Chanel Couture folder as a cover—and everyone thinks fashion is so glamorous.
15:11 – From planes to snakes (didn’t someone combine those once?) Armani’s all emerald collection is sssssss-uper ssssss-tylish and reptilian inspired.

ElleGirl- 2011 was a great year for outrageous hue highlights with celebrities like Dianna Agron, Sienna Miller, and Lauren Conrad experimenting with bright pinks in their hair. The trend—which we love—has carried over into 2012, with Dakota Fanning and others adding bursts of bright color to their locks. Want the look? Check out our stellar DIY and see how the stars are working candy colored hues below!

Dakota Fanning told ELLE UK that “you can’t worry about what other people think, especially if you’re a known person.” The teen fashion icon and college freshman started rocking pink tips last week and even if she doesn’t care what we think, we love it.

News In a recent photo shoot for Adidas, Katy Perry showed off her new bright blue bob. Known for going bold with a full head of bright hues, the singer’s been rocking the cotton candy color since she began making huge hit singles.

Snooki celebrated New Year’s Eve with a deep shade of pink in her long locks, and has kept the look for 2012. While we’re used to the “reality star” going too far with looks—bronzer overload, anyone?—we love the not so subtle streaks.

Kelly Osbourne has been rocking lavender highlights on the red carpet this award season. The light color has let her second new shade: a light ash blonde show through.

Lauren Conrad is renown for changing up her hair mid-breakup but this week’s pink—she uploaded a pic of her newly dyed hair on Twitter—comes with zero baggage.

X-Factor finalist Amelia Lily picked a pastel shade over neon when picking out a pink. Her look is reminiscent of Katy Perry’s signature shade before the pop star switched over to blue.

Sam Worthington, the Australian actor who saved the human race in Clash of the Titans and rescued an alien planet in Avatar is taking a break from playing the hero in Man on a Ledge, opening nationwide this Friday. His penchant for high flying action films and his down-to-earth attitude (after saving the world he likes to go home, watch TV and do laundry) has gotten him major movie roles and the coveted title of ELLEgirl Crush of the Week. Sam is anything if not a regular guy—having said that, he started acting as a way to support his friend who was interested in theater, when they were entering college. He applied to Australia’s National Institute of Dramatic Art with his pal, who didn’t make it in. Life after that wasn’t all riding winged horses and extraterrestrial romance for Worthington. He didn’t make it big until 2009 and until he scored his role in Avatar, he spent two years living in his car. When it comes to picking roles, the 35-year-old actor goes for films he would see himself, which explains all the action heavy movies he’s stared in. He told Movies Online that “I…pick a movie that I would go and see, to be honest…I read it and go ‘Would I pay $16 to go and see it?’ because my responsibility to an audience is to give them their money’s worth. If I think that this is worth going to see, and if we can do the job correctly, then hopefully you’ve done your job correctly.” As long as we get to see him striking posing and battling bad guys, he’s done his job correctly. He also isn’t big on living it up outside of work, despite his major macho-guy mileage and has admitted to being a bit of a couch potato, saying “I’m a softy…That’s all I do is go home and watch TV and do my washing. In my job, I’ve got to battle aliens. I stand on the ledge of a building. I drive fast cars. But that’s my job. I go home, I’m exhausted. I just want to do normal stuff.” While we would love to “watch TV…and do normal stuff” with Sam, the actor is sadly already taken. He introduced his girlfriend, Crystal Humphries at the Hollywood premiere of Man on a Wire over the weekend.
Amber.Stardoll- We think the jumpsuit is the perfect garment! Why? Because you can use it for every occasion – at a party, on the red carpet, and even lazing around at home. Our favorite celebs also love jumpsuits, and often choose the classic black option which is perfect for any occasion. Click on the pic to see Tyra Banks, Rihanna and other celebs who jump for jumpsuits!

- Jim Carrey’s 24 year old daughter, Jane Carrey, auditioned for American Idol and of course the family of a A-lister in Hollywood gets special treatment. Unlike the others who wanted to audition, she didn’t have to wait in line for days. A source said “Her audition was pre-arranged with the producers. She did not wait and line up for hours or days outside – she had a time, showed up and went in.”The judges knew who Jane was and they sent her to the next round! We wonder if that was special treatment too? She called Jim outside and he said “I can’t wait for the world to understand what she has. Way to go. Oh my god this is going to be an exciting year!” Well, now we’re definitely are going to follow American Idol! So exciting! Watch the video to see the whole audition! (radaronline)
Amzyness1290Heya everyone,
It's me again and today I would like to talk about Celeb Looks.

- A lot of people wonder what really happened between Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries. Not that they were the most stabile of couples, but we thought they'd do better than 72 days! In the show "Kim & Kourtney Take New York", we get to follow Kim closely through the break up. In the latest episode, Kim burst into tears when she talked about her previous divorce with Damon Thomas, in 2004. She said it got her thinking about her marriage with Kris and told Kourtney: “I honestly feel like I can’t do this anymore with Kris. … I don’t want to be married anymore... I feel like I got into this way too fast … you know, I’m not happy.” In the next episode we'll see Kim talk to the rest of her family and also what Kris has to say about Kim. (celebuzz) Psst! Did you miss the episode? Check out the video to see Kim's breakdown!

- We spotted super cute Sean Preston, Britney Spears' oldest son, showing off his dance moves. Do you think he will follow in his mother's footsteps?

- We heard rumors that Demi Lovato and Wilmer Valderrama have split, and Demi took twitter to pretty much confirm the rumor. She wrote “The smartest thing a woman can ever learn, is to never need a man.” and then a quote by Marilyn Monroe: “A wise girl kisses but doesn’t love, listens but doesn’t believe, and leaves before she is left.” After tweeting all of this, Demi realized it might not be the smartest idea since the whole world can read it. This weekend she wrote “Twitter break. It’s for the best actually. Who allows me to have this thing anyways?!!! I just get myself in trouble! Haha. Anyway… BYE!” Aw, we loved reading your tweets Demi! We hope you’ll be back ASAP! (celebuzz)
