Freida Pinto Covers Flaunt Magazine — What’s She Wearing?

‘Slumdog Millionaire’ beauty covered the August issue of Flaunt Magazine, and she can be seen in the picture below wearing Parasuco Jeans. I’m told that the fall line for the Canadian based brand “will be influenced by a contemporary take on underground London street life combined with metropolitan chic influences.” No word yet on who made the oil for her shot, but she sure looks shiny.

Miley Cyrus Engaged — Designers Propose Wedding Dress Sketches

Though I realize the ridiculousness of a teenage-engagement, my love for fashion made me delighted to get an email with sketch ideas for Miley Cyrus’ wedding dress. See the dresses below, combined with quotes from each designer explaining the inspiration.

“This gown that I created complements the more whimsical and bohemian style that match her casual country aesthetic while mixing in elements like cut-outs and lace that reflect the more sophisticated style she has been rocking lately on the red carpet.”

–VAL STEFANI

“Miley has a personal approach to fashion which is bold and I wanted to reflect that. She has transitioned into a beautiful young woman and this silhouette is perfect for her. The vintage style of the beadwork paired with the modern application of the skirt gives the gown a youthful yet romantic tone”. —ANNE BARGE

“Miley Cyrus style has evolved. We have seen her grow on the red carpet. We were inspired by her new sophisticated confidence. We think she’ll want to continue her sexy style but with classic touches. Peplums are huge right now. This silhouette is borrowed from the couture runways, they add structure and shape to the dress. Agua Dulce silk sweetheart neckline dress with structured peplum bodice. Soft Chantilly lace details with pearl and sequin embroidery throughout. Mermaid skirt.” — designer MARIANA AGUIRRE of Agua Dulce

‘Miley is so fresh and young with a bubbly personality—this gown will highlight her curves yet give her a modern air of sophistication and elegance on her wedding day.’ —JUNKO YOSHIOKA

“Miley has always chosen elegant and classic gowns for her red carpet appearances. I see her choosing a style that expresses her personal style and fashionable taste but still keeping it elegant and tasteful. “ –Ines Di Santo

‘Since Miley is a young bride, I could see her wanting a fairytale ball gown style dress. The look I sketched for her is bold and extravagant leaving no detail overlooked.’ –ANGEL RIVERA

Marilyn Monroe Makes Vanity Fair Cover — For the 15,712 Time

It’s not possible to explain in words how sick I am of Marilyn Monroe. She’s become the party guest that you can’t escape. In fact, I wonder if her spirit is dancing to Gotye’s “Somebody I Used to Know” in celebration of over-exposure. Seriously, Vanity Fair — please get more creative the next time around. This is the third time in five years she’s been on your cover.

Isabel Toledo on The View — Spectacular Fashion

Isabel Toledo appeared on The View to promote her new collection, and she hit it out of the park.

Katya Zharkova Proves Modeling Industry Must Change

Kardashians Model Their Own Lingerie — Orange & Airbrushed

There’s something fundamentally cheesy about celebrities who model their own clothing. And when that clothing is lingerie — it’s even worse. To top it off, the Kardashian girls are practically unrecognizable in their ad. They are so heavily airbrushed they border on cartoon characters. Did I mention they’re orange? I realize this is how it’s done now, but it’s ridiculous.
