Vanessa Paradis for Miu Miu

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

 Check out Vanessa Paradis’ new Fall 2008 campaign for Miu Miu.
She looks hot as a futuristic superhero, but I personally think Ms. Paradis is better suited to boho-chic labels like Sonia Rykiel or the classic Chanel.
Not familiar with Vanessa Paradis? She’s the French singer/actress/model keeping Johnny Depp’s feet warm at night. The couple [...]

Sarah Jessica Parker dazzles Sex premiere

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

Apparently, SJP is a little irritated that she wasn’t told that the silver Nina Ricci creation had in fact been worn before, by none other than Lindsey Lohan in a Harper’s Bazaar shoot a few months back. At least Sarah Jessica can take comfort in knowing that she looked much more fabulous than LiLo.
