Sequined Frocks: Festive Or OTT?

We were a little surprised when we heard that Kristin Davis had decided to get into the fashion business, putting her name on a line of clothes for department store chain Belk. What would her line look like? Would there be pearls? Now we know the answer: No pearls; however, there are plenty of ladylike styles, and lots of bows. While we think $108 is a little expensive for a polyester shift dress, the Kristin Davis Collection might satiate your appetite for celebrity-branded clothes, especially if you missed out on picking up the best pieces from Rachel Bilson’s Edie Rose for DKNY Jeans. If not, Eva Mendes’ line of bedding, Vida, is coming to Macy’s any time now. We’re gonna take a wild guess that her sex life is pretty enviable, and here’s to hoping that a set of her sheets will emit some of her sexual energy into our bedroom.
Since this season’s Project Runway is the last that will air on Bravo, people have been speculating what the network will do to replace its signature show. The answer: The Rachel Zoe Project. The show premieres on September 9. I just watched every single related video BravoTV has on its website and have come to the conclusion that it is going to rock for several reasons…
So, last night I went home, took my dog for a pathetic 30 minute run, came home and made leftover tacos for dinner, and watched another thrilling episode of Hell’s Kitchen. The ten celebrity ladies after the jump had almost as awesome a night as I did—they were either dressed to the nines at the Crystal & Lucy Awards in LA or at the Whitney Art Party in New York. I am not jealous in the slightest.
The CFDA Awards are one of those events where only cool, connected people get invited to celebrate designers who make clothes those of us who aren’t invited can’t afford. Sounds like fun! Last night’s party brought out the big guns—Maggie Gyllenhaal, the two Evas, and the ever present Posh Spice. Tons of pics, after the jump…
Eva Mendes just can’t catch a break. The beauty with an ugly habit had to postpone being a spokesmodel for Calvin Klein to check into rehab earlier this year. While the fashion house stuck by her in her time of need, now the fragrance commercial she finally made can’t even get on the air because, as a CK rep says, “There’s a lot of skin.” Banned by networks in the US, the spot for Secret Obsession is too hot for TV…and even YouTube. It might not be safe for work, but at least we can watch this Calvin Klein men’s underwear fashion show instead! [Trend Hunter]
With skin cancer making fake and bake salons passé, our half-hearted bronze is the result of layers upon layers of tinted lotion rather than years of amazing Latin genetics like Eva Mendes. The star of We Own The Night is a freaking hottie, has the kind of curvy body that should knock some sense into the eating disorder community, not to mention a goofy-meets-exotic appeal that makes her sex on a stick for women as well as men. PETA’s tactics are a little annoying in our opinion, but we (and probably all of mankind) appreciate their “I’d Rather Go Naked” campaigns—especially this one.
