If you’ve doubted Marion Cotillard’s star power at any point in the past few years since she starred as Édith Piaf in 2007′s breathtaking “La vie en rose,” now would be the time to reconsider. Not only has the pretty Parisian appeared in several films since then, but she’s directly atop the radar at this very moment with her role as Miranda Tate in the highly-anticipated “The Dark Night Rises,” out July 20. In light of her current (and, it should be said, totally deserved — she is a truly brilliant actress) Hollywood ubiquity, Marion scored not one, not two, but three magazine covers this August: Vogue, Vogue Paris, and Marie Claire UK will broadcast the Oscar winner’s beauty — and, with the curious exception of Vogue Paris, her equally recognizable beauty mark — on newsstands next month.

Is this really happening? Have I stepped into a warped alternate reality in which Yves Saint Laurent (or shall I say, Saint Laurent Paris) deigns itself to something … low-budget? Even a little bit … tacky? I’ll break the news to you, very slowly, and keep quiet now so we don’t have poor Yves rolling in his grave. In a shocking move, given the prestige nature of the brand overall, the beauty range (my favorite of YSL’s offerings and, rather appropriately, the only one I can afford) of the Parisian fashion house is going public with their love of Facebook. So public, in fact, that they’re willing to put it in writing — which they did, on the packaging of an exclusive new eyeshadow palette called “Devoted To Fans.” Keep reading »

Costume Jewelry Finds An Unlikely Muse In A Familiar Frozen Treat

Rachel KrauseJuly 15, 2012 //

Inspiration can be found in the least likely places — like, um, frozen yogurt. Pinkberry is good, but is it good enough to provide a solid foundation on which to launch a collection of jewelry? To honor the grand opening of Pinkberry’s first outer-borough location, Brooklyn-based jewelry brand Sorrelli fashioned earrings, necklaces, and bracelets to be sold both online and from a pop-up shop outside the new store in Park Slope. The pieces, made from berry-colored Swarovski crystals and antique gold, will retail from $38.40 for a pair of earrings to a seven-inch bracelet for $74.40. The collection isn’t the most … refined, and I’m not entirely sure how it’s meant to channel the beloved yogurt (other than, you know, being pink), but hey, what did you really expect from costume jewelry inspired by food?

Michael Fassbender And Charlize Theron’s W Magazine Cover Is Kinda Weird, No?

Michael Fassbender and Charlize Theron are both undeniably gorgeous human beings and outstanding performers, so naturally I’m a fan regardless of how they play it. The “Prometheus” co-stars landed the August cover of W Magazine, and while there is basically no photograph in the world that could make these two look bad, I can’t help but feel like something is a little off. Fassy just looks so worried, and Charlize’s head is at a weird angle, and there are so many arms and hands and elbows involved that it all comes off as being awkward to me. Am I imagining things? Do you think this cover photo does the spectacular actors justice, or is it not quite what you expected? Also, for what it’s worth, if it is worth anything at all: they are both wearing lambskin.

I’m only a tiny bit obsessed with Miranda Kerr and her seemingly endless supply of the Best Clothes Ever. Can we all agree that this is the consummate summer dress? Flowery and fluttery and interesting enough to warrant minimal accessorizing — every girl should have one of these in her wardrobe … but maybe Miranda could just let me borrow hers.

If you were ever uncertain about the overwhelming influence of homosexual men in fashion, well, you probably don’t know much about fashion. Some of the most recognizable names ever to reign the industry — Gianni Versace, Christian Dior, and Yves Saint Laurent, just to name a few — all shared a once-reviled sexual orientation.

Style Stealer: Dianna Agron Shops In A Midi Skirt And Summer Stripes

Rachel KrauseJuly 14, 2012 //

Stars: they’re just like us! “Glee” actress Dianna Agron goes to Trader Joe’s to pick up BBQ supplies in what would be my nicest “going out” outfit to date! But who cares where she’s wearing it when she looks so good? Maybe she was going directly to the barbecue after, you know? This look is all kinds of awesome: it’s the perfect mix of summer casual and ladylike, without being too proper or too overdressed for the weather. In fact, I would totally wear this to a barbecue. Not to the supermarket, though. That’s what pajamas are for. Click through to get your hands on Dianna’s weekend-ready style, perfectly suited to pull you through those other five days of the week.

Karl Lagerfeld vs. Martha Stewart: who is the stranger pet owner? It’s a tough call. On one hand, we have Karl, whose Siamese cat (Choupette!) inspired a Chanel couture collection and has two personal maids who keep a diary on her behalf. On the other, we have Martha, who named her kittens Emperor Ch’in (after the Chinese ruler) and Kublai Khan (after the heir to the Mongolian empire), and also owns a Chow Chow named Ghenghis Khan. Oh, wait! Martha definitely wins, and here’s why:

“As with all my new pets, I gently bit each kitten on the face. This is how I let my animals know that I am now their mother.”

There you go. [The Martha Blog via Dlisted]

Katie Holmes can go all kinds of places now that she’s been unentangled (we hope) from the million squid-like arms of Scientology! She and Suri even got to check out my favorite childhood hotspot, the Central Park Zoo (I would make a joke about being kept in animal pens here, but the boss beat me to it, damn it). But this, this is what I believe to be the most telling rite of passage for Katie as a free woman. And do you know what that is? That’s right, my friends: it’s leather pants. Leather. Pants. Congratulations, Katie. You made it. [Photo: Fame/Flynet]

Choupette Lagerfeld is my literal spirit animal in that she is, in fact, an animal, and also happens to really speak to my spirit, so there you have it. Just when I thought the gloriousness quotient of Karl’s legendary Siamese had finally been capped due to overload, what with recent reports of a photoshoot and eponymous purse, I could not have been more wrong. It turns out that the influence of le chaton on the Kaiser’s design sense does not only not draw the line at soft, fluffy bags, but an entire collection Karl kreated for Chanel was inspired by Choupette’s eyes. And who spilled the beans on the true blue roots of the Spring/Summer 2012 couture collection but Karl’s friend and neighbor Diane Kruger? One more for my extensive list of reasons why I would beyond happily trade lives with the German actress (we’ll call it #2, before Joshua Jackson and after the fact that she is one of the most beautiful people alive): she… has touched… Choupette. Even though she was probably made to wear white silk gloves whilst doing so. [Fashionista]
