Uma Thurman Brings Sexy Back At The Ceremony Premiere

Not that sexy could ever go away completely with a woman like Uma Thurman, but lately it’s been on a little bit of a time out. Recently she’s gone the who earthy-but-unkempt route and we were getting so tired of her looking scraggly. That situation has been remedied as of now, considering she pulled out all the stops at the Ceremony premiere in Hollywood.

This metallic trench-coat inspired dress looks like liquid gold on her. And can we just say, with that fabric and that shine, you can’t have an ounce of extra cellulite on you, or it’ll show. Not that Uma needs to worry about that. We also love the Jimmy Choo stilettos. Also starring with Uma in the movie is Michael Angarano — also known as Kristen Stewart‘s ex-boyfriend — and BTW, we still wonder how the relationship proceeded from him to Rpattz? Bryce Dallas Howard also came to the premiere looking ethereal in an onion pink Reem Acra dress which you can check out in the gallery below.

Selena Gomez Rocks Two Different Looks At The Concert For Hope

Selena Gomez seems to be walking a thin line between sweet and sexy. She channeled two very different looks on Sunday night at the Concert For Hope in Universal City, Califorina. For the red carpet before she looked completely adorable in a nautical black and white tunic with a red keffiyeh. We also love those boots! But on stage, it’s another story altogether. Don’t be fooled by the pink, the sparkles and the cutesy ballet flats. La Gomez has a seriously plunging neckline going on! At the same time, she’s so adorable that she’s never look trashy. On anyone else, that navel-baring slit would be way too much.

Keira Knightley’s Sexy New Short Film For Chanel

We’ve fallen head over heels in love with Keira Knightley‘s new short film for Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle perfume. It’s been directed by Keira’s director of our favorite Pride and Prejudice, Joe Wright. We’re also very grateful because this film has introduced us to a certain actor-Greek God hybrid called Alberto Ammann. Joss Stone‘s totally surprised us as well. She’s not in the film, but she sang the ‘soundtrack’—a cover of James Brown’s It’s A Man’s, Man’s, Man’s World—and she nailed it. Watch Keira zipping around Paris, giving us breathtaking shots of sights like Place Vendome and the Place de la Concorde. She’s wearing a beige motorcycle jumpsuit designed by Karl Lagerfeld, which she takes off later to seduce Alberto. Hot! Hot! Hot!

Kate Winslet Fails To Connect The Dots At The NYC Premiere Of Mildred Pierce

It hurt us to say this. It truly does, because all of us love Kate Winslet. We’d get behind any role she takes, and we normally do the same for her outfits. We just can’t support what she’s wearing to the New York premiere of the new HBO miniseries  Mildred Pierce. She looks flawless from the neck up as usual, those shoes are sexy as hell, but what is that dress?

We get that she wanted to have some fun with her fashion, but this Stella McCartney number is so not the right direction for her to go in! It’s like one side of her body  has the chicken pox! Sorry, Kate, but this half-and-half dress is just not working. Check out her sartorial disaster in the gallery below. And FYI, her co-star Evan Rachel Wood rocked it in a Elie Saab plum dress.

Lady Gaga’s Monstrous iD Cover, Ghoulish Beauty Tips

Lady Gaga is almost working her angles; they just usually aren’t jutting haphazardly out of her face like a creature that slithered out of the mouth of Hades. Lady Gaga’s iD cover for their Exhibition issue combines Gaga’s monster face look with some high fashion styling. Gaga looks like an exhibition alright…at a medical oddities museum. Based on what her forehead looks like, we’re guessing we don’t want to catch a glimpse of whatever’s lurking under Mother Monster’s Thierry Mugler by Formichetti leather trench.

It’s not only while in costume that Gaga deals with gruesome beauty dilemmas. In an interview with People, Lady Gaga talks about her hair falling out; the natural brunette explained that she must “get a chemical haircut because my blonde hair is falling out.” We also might have found the source of the “freckles” on her cover photos: when asked how many nights of the week she falls asleep with make-up on, Gaga admits “Seven. That is not good for your skin, but I’m blessed with good genes.” If demonic cheekbones, bald scalps and blotch-covered faces are in vogue, then we’ll just take our culottes and fanny packs. As we sprint toward the nearest police station.

Yes, Even James Franco’s Armpit Hair Is Sexy

Voila! While we sit around and wait for James Franco to @ reply to our fangirl-y messages on Twitter, we can admire him on the cover of Vogue Hommes. The actor was shot by creepy photo genius Terry Richardson, in various poses ranging from ‘I’m gonna bone this burger with my mouth’ to ‘Hey gurl, my armpits got into Yale’ to ‘I’M GRINNING LIKE A CRAZY PERSON!!!’ Yet in every picture he remains the James Franco we’ve come to know and lust: the trying-too-hard weirdo with a face of gold.

Poll: Who Had The Most Unflattering Outfit At The Go International Designer Launch?

We’re used to seeing Chloe Sevigny deck herself out in bizarro fashions on a regular basis, but she really outdid herself at the Go International Designer Collective launch party with her leopard-bow tie-garter ensemble. The things is, she seemed to take all the other normally trendy, stylish women in attendance down with her, which is unfortunate. Liv Tyler, Olivia Munn, and Lake Bell (pictured in our gallery below) all wore some weird variation of high-waisted mini-skirt and none of them really looked amazing, to tell the truth. Take out poll below and, in the grand tradition of American Idol, vote for the worst.

Christina Hendricks Is The New Face Of Vivienne Westwood’s Jewelry

We’re major fans of Christina Hendricks (photos) here. We thought her Esquire‘s Best-Looking Woman cover was well deserved and the photographs were gorgeous! Even her vintage Playboy shots were hot, albiet a little disturbing, and sadly sans those curves! Having said that, we were wondering when Christina would appear in some campaigns, because her London Fog advertisements felt like a teaser. And now, finally, here’s something that’s a perfect fit! Christina has become the face of Vivienne Westwood‘s jewelry collection “Get A Life”.

Of the two shots we’ve seen, we couldn’t be happier! Of the Palladium collection, Hendricks said, “… I admire that Vivienne uses her designs to inspire change and the pieces are just so wonderful. I love that there are dramatic pieces such as the crown and the heart necklace as well as more simple pieces such as the acorn earrings…” The crown does look pretty cool. Look after the jump for the second photograph with the heart necklace! You won’t be disappointed. Tell us what you think. [Photos via Just Jared] Read more…

Lady Gaga Goes Feline In Paris

Oh, cherie! Lady Gaga decided to morph into a fierce jungle cat yesterday in Paris. She arrived at the Thierry Mugler fashion show, where Gaga also modeled, in a sheer leopard print catsuit with her lady bits thankfully covered by flesh colored pants. Gaga also tweeted about her runway debut earlier, writing, “I’m making my debut as a runway model, walking in the MUGLER PARIS FASHIONSHOW 3/2. I directed the show music, previewing Government Hooker.” We still don’t know how she navigates herself on those crazy alien versus predator shoes (something about them reminds us of a action-horror film for some strange reason, okay?).

Gaga then strutted to the after party at fancypants Maxims and was seen exiting clutching a glass of champagne — just as she did when she left the fashion show. Now the question is, are the entourage of dudes you see in the gallery just rolling with her act, or are they physically holding her up? Is this photograph a case of drunk face? Considering Gaga’s on a drunk diet, it’s a possibility!

John Galliano Faces Jail Time For Anti-Semitic Slurs, Issues Denial

The prospect of John Galliano in prison isn’t a pretty one; he’d be ruling with an paisley fist before you’d know it. High-waisted orange palazzo pants as far as the eye can see! Since French law considers anti-Semitism a crime,  John Galliano faces jail time for his anti-Semitic slurs. If convicted, Galliano could be looking at six months in prison and more than $31,000 in fines. Galliano already looks like The Joker; maybe it was only a matter of time before he started lording over the underworld. Just let him get that purple suit and green bow tie dry-cleaned and he’s good to go!

Now that he’s looking at prison time, Galliano issued an apology for his comments…well, sort of. “I completely deny the claims made against me and have fully cooperated with the police investigation,” John said. “A number of independent witnesses have given evidence and have told the police that I was subjected to verbal harassment and an unprovoked assault when an individual tried to hit me with a chair having taken violent exception to my look and my clothing. For these reasons I have commenced proceedings for defamation and the threats made against me.” Sure, because why wouldn’t Galliano declare “I love Hitler!” when getting into a street brawl? “However, I fully accept that the accusations made against me have greatly shocked and upset people,” Galliano admitted. “I must take responsibility for the circumstances in which I found myself and for allowing myself to be seen to be behaving in the worst possible light.” We guess if he wasn’t seen making racist statements, Galliano wouldn’t feel so contrite. Ah, but if people don’t see him, how will they know about his cutting-edge fashion sense? Merde, it’s a Catch-22!
