June 2007 Archives

We were hoping the celeb-endorsed high-waisted pants trend would have fizzled out by now, but it seems the trend is here to stay - at least for a little while. We're all for waists moving up a few inches from the days of ultra-low-rise styles, but anything over the bellybutton is just not a good idea. Hey, if superskinny celebrities like Mischa Barton, Jessica Simpson, Fergie and Lindsay Lohan can't even pull them off, perhaps this bandwagon is not worth jumping on.

What do you think of high-waisted pants?

Join Salma Hayek, Eva Mendes and Rosario Dawson and give back to the causes closest to your heart with Cartier’s New LOVECharity Bracelets. $100 from the sale of each red, white or blue silk-knotted bracelet linked with an 18k white gold miniature will benefit its corresponding charity. Available for $475 (hey, it's for a good cause, right?) can be purchased at Cartier boutiques nationwide.

Each celebrity is endorsing a different charity: Salma Hayek for the Salma Hayek Foundation (in accordance with the Avon Foundation, Speak Out Against Domestic Violence), Eva Mendes for The Art of Elysium and Rosario Dawson for the YouthAIDS Organization.

Celebrating the Fourth of July never looked or felt so good!

We are absolutely loving Katie Holmes' fresh new 'do. Long layers cut into a modern bob with a flattering side part give her a sexy, young look. We're guessing women everywhere will be rushing to their stylists with photos of this cut. What do you think of Katie's new look?

The leg-baring minidress is the red carpet style of choice this season for toned celebrities. Some celebs opt for loose and flirty, while others choose tight and sexy.

Chloë Sevigny (in Prada) and Kate Walsh (in Monique Lhuillier) wore sophisticated Grecian-inspired dresses while Nicky Hilton went for a young, mod style. Legs take center stage in these three winning looks - note the absence of cleavage and minimal accessories.

Cameron Diaz (in Luella), Lindsay Lohan (in Herve Leger Couture) and Victoria Beckham (in vintage) went for ultra short and ultra tight - a tough combination to pull off, even for size 0 celebrities. Cameron looks gorgeous, and she's definitely got the body for such a short dress - but we wouldn't suggest trying this at home where you actually may have to sit down or bend. We're not loving Lindsay's rainbow dress and Victoria's '80s-inspired zebra dress is beyond awful.

What do you think of this trend and the looks shown here?

100% of the profits from new OmniPeace tees by Signorelli, worn here by Sienna Miller, Courtney Cox and Kevin Costner, will be donated to Millennium Promise, a non-profit organization dedicated to ending extreme poverty by 2025. Their mission is to work village by village in Africa to empower the poor with the skills and tools they need to pull themselves out of poverty and become self-sustainable. A worthwhile cause indeed.
