Is That Tony?

Does this guy look familiar?  Professional dancer for "Dancing WIth the Stars" maybe!  Yes, Tony stopped professional dancing and decided to model for Sherri Hill's Fall/Homecoming Collection.  I've often wondered if these professionals can actually make a statement outside of the reality based show, guess we will see!  After all they were not household names before the show.

Derek and Nicole Win

Did anyone who even halfway followed the show assume that they would not be in this position, to win the mirror ball trophy.  Pussycat Doll, Nicole, who has dance experience showed she can transform to a ballroom dancer when needed.  I have to say this was probably the best group of dancers I have seen on the show.  So who will be the next "Dancing with the Stars" cast and can they top this lineup.

Jagger for Chanel

Look close! Georgia May Jagger is the now shooting for Karl Lagerfeld and the Chanel line.  If the name sounds familiar it should she's part of the Rolling Stone Jagger's.  The as shots are outstanding!  Sleek, understated sexy, and still that classic style one expects from Chanel and Lagerfeld.

Miss USA 2010 Crowned

Rima Fakih of Michigan was crowned Miss USA 2010.  Even after a slip that in past years would have cost the title she wins.  Michigan has never had a Miss USA winner and the last time the state placed a top 6 contestant was 1993.  Congratulations to her! Now to see if anymore controversy can arise after the pre-pageant photo shoot Trumped up mess.

Gucci to Add a Haute Couture Line

Gucci is set to launch a custom made gown collection to offer to celebrities.  These will be one of a kind collections for the red-carpet of the Hollywood elite.  Frida Giannini says that classic movies are the inspiration for these designs.  The line will be named Gucci Première and has already been seen on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival.  I'm sure this will be a line that will inspire others as well.

Armani Designing - Alicia Keys Onstage

Giorgio Armani used a softer hand to outfit Alicia Keys for her European tour, “The Element of Freedom."  What a pairing!  Armani recently created outlandish styles for Lady Gaga, now is showing the Armani looks we are use to with four looks for Keys latest tour.  If this glimpse is anything compared to the rest they are going to be classic looks we expect from him and the star that wear them.

Taylor's Donation

Once again Taylor Swift has shown how generosity is such an uplifting thing to do.  The country music sensation and Nashville native gave $500,000 to the Nashville Relief fund.  She did this by calling into a star filled telethon to raise funds for the Nashville flood clean up and victims.

Also catch up with Taylor, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Carrie Underwood, Miley Cyrus and more stars for "Nashville Rising: A Benefit Concert For Flood Recovery," on June 22.

2010 Costume Institute Gala - Sea of Formals

Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Costume Institute gala is always sure to have beautiful people in over the top fashions.  And of course, that is exactly what happened.  A-List star arrived but for some the fashion seemed to be more d-list.  As expected Jennifer Lopez was more than radiant in her Zuhair Murad gown.  She alone with stars like Oprah Winfrey, Anne Hathaway, Inman and Jessica Alba were true to their fashion form.  Others made us wonder!

Stars such as Katy Perry left us wondering what fashion stylist they had sought advice from.  The rainbow sorbet dress left us quite confused on what was going on.  Other stars like Kirsten Dunst, Karolina Kurkova, and Kristen Stewart just left us wondering what someone was thinking.

Some have said it was a lot of "bad prom looks."  We wouldn't go quite that far but when even fashionista...stylist to the stars Rachel Zoe doesn't impress then what do you expect!

Animal Prints a Must!

The animal prints have arrived for Fall 2010.  For the past few years animal prints such as leopard and cheetah have become the perfect print pattern to use in formal designs.  Now the trend is full steam ahead for the ready to wear industry also.  I seems every designer in every price range is doing an animal print for fall!  We love these looks and think that everyone needs at least one animal print in their closet.  We would love to have this Teri Jon jacket in ours!

Taylor Swift for Covergirl

Taylor Swift has been named the new face of Covergirl.  Swift claims to be a "huge makeup junkie." This makes a perfect fit then.  Swift follows the lead of other A List stars such as Rihanna, Queen Latifah, and Drew Barrymore to lead their high profile image to the company.
