Anne Hathaway will wed in Valentino!

No more guessing – it’s finally been revealed that Anne Hathaway will walk down the aisle in a Valentino creation! Not only are we delighted to learn the identity of the designer who has been trusted with the honour, but we’re thrilled it’s Valentino, as he and Anne have made sartorial magic everytime they have worked together! “She’s a very good friend of mine,” Valentino told E! News. “She’s like my daughter! “She’s sensational. She’s fantastic. She deserves what she has in this life. That means she’s already a great star. But she’s going to be a great, great, great, great thousand times great star. She has all the qualities.” We think that means Valentino is quite fond of her!  We don’t know the official date of Anne and Adam Shulman’s nuptials – it might be shrouded in secrecy a’ la Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds – but we hope someone takes a cheeky snap of the all-important dress as we predict it’s going to be somewhat spectacular! Do you think Anne made the right choice? [Elle]

Milan Fashion Week SS13 kicks off

Now that London Fashion Week is over – we have bittersweet emotions about it, if we’re being honest – we can return to absorbing the spring/summer 2013 collections from the comfort of the office chair – no high heels required! Milan Fashion Week is truly where the luxury starts, and the beginning of this season was no exception. MFW had barely begun before the big guns were out in force and the likes of Gucci, MaxMara, Alberta Ferretti and Emporio Armani showcased their collections on the lavish Italian runways. None of this save the best til last nonsense, it’s all go from the get go in Milan! Gucci hit the nail on the head and went back to basics for spring/summer  2013… who knew bold, vivid, block colour could be so effective in making a statement? While we’re not sure which pieces Blake Lively (the new face of the brand) would wear, we think she’d give everything a pretty good go… after all, she has the potential to make anything work for her. We’re looking forward to red carpet events of the future to see how the famous faces will style their new-season Gucci should they be lucky enough to get their hands on it. Over at Alberta Ferretti, the models walked out in aquatic inspired garments against a sea-like backdrop. Monique Lhuillier also went for an under the sea theme for her SS13 collection which she showed during New York Fashion Week, so it’s safe to say we’ve stumbled upon one of the key trends of the new season. We’ve always been a fan of mermaid chic (blame Disney’s Ariel) so it should come as no surprise to learn that we are all over Alberta Ferretti’s theme too. It was layer central over at Emporio Armani – and what interesting […]

Jennifer Aniston pregnant? (Ok, not really…)

Lea Michele for L’Oreal Paris, Blake Lively a newly married woman and… Jennifer Aniston pregnant?! Ok one of those statements is a lie, and we’re pretty sure you figured out that it was of course the last one. Jennifer Aniston isn’t pregnant (not to our knowledge anyway) but after their first viral video was such a success, the actress and the guys at Smartwater (an American water brand) have returned to poke fun at the tabloids’ fascination with Jen’s looks, love life, and uterus! And this time round they’ve even enlisted the help of Ryan Seacrest and Jimmy Kimmel! The spoof contains “stolen video footage” from Jennifer’s house, where a few home truths are supposedly revealed. We love how Jen is able to laugh at herself… the scene where she takes off her “Rachel” wig and reveals her “natural” barnet really tickled us. Watch the video below and tell us your favourite part. http://youtu.be/phpb_ssnyug

Autumn wedding guest outfit picks for the petite lady!

[noskim] Everyone loves a good summer wedding. But let’s face it, summer weddings in England are very few and far between, which is why happy couples continue to plan their big day in the autumn/winter season… at least you know what you’re getting weatherwise and won’t be kidding yourselves. So with that in mind, we’ve been seeking out some wedding-appropriate outfits should any of our friends decide to do a Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds and tie the knot any time soon. If like me you’re slightly vertically challenged and are lacking in height, Precis is one of the best ports of call for finding gorgeous petite clothing. We can’t all have Kate Moss legs (sniff)! Here’s a few of my current faves on the website: Autumn Bloom Shift Dress I utterly adore this Autumn Bloom Shift Dress. It has two of the new season’s hottest colours – purple and orange – and has a gorgeous waist defining belt too. I’d pair it with some super-high orange platforms if I’m feeling bold or nude ones if I want the dress to do all the talking and a simple nude/grey shawl to complement the colours. Spot Print Jersey Dress If it’s a fellow-Greek wedding I’ll be attending, I know I’m going to be doing a lot (and I really do mean a lot) of eating, so I’m going to want a dress that lets me do that without restriction. This Spot Print Jersey Dress with its Diane von Furstenberg wrap-style detailing is perfect – and the busy design is wonderfully distracting! I’d definitely wear this with some Anna Dello Russo style bright and chunky accessories! Navy Satin Dress There’s something very Kate Middleton about this dress which is probably why I was instantly drawn to it!  This is a great piece […]

6 celebrity style icons worthy of their own clothing label

There is a long list of contemporary stylish ladies who are equally as eye catching as the Hepburn’s, Kelly’s and Monroe’s of yesteryear. These ladies have an ‘until death do us part’ kinda relationship with fashion, and their extensive wardrobes, impeccable taste and dedication to looking stylish knows no bounds. So to celebrate the women at the fore of fashionable happenings and their enviable sense of style, we’ve decided to chart our top 6 style icons… Rihanna We think RiRi’s sartorial reputation precedes her. Yes, she has a penchant for expletive-laden footwear (cue: X Factor performance in those trainers), wearing clothes emblazoned with illegal substances and often pushes the limits of fashion to an unimaginable edge, but she never fails to carry off her eccentric wardrobe. High Street, high fashion our outrageously high heels worn with leather shorts; she really is the only girl in the world who can execute it with perfection! Fave 2012 fashion moment: In Givenchy Haute Couture at the 2012 BRIT Awards, Olivia Palermo Gracing front row at headline-hitting fashion shows; girlfriend to a HOT model and the owner of a wardrobe over spilling with sartorial perfection, Olivia Palermo is a no-brainer on our Style Icons list! The flawless beauty, who fronts the cover of the Instyle UK October issue, revealed she likes ‘walking out of the house feeling fully pulled together.’ Something she sure has down to a t! The queen of nonchalant off-duty dressing (she even makes dog walking look stylish!), Olivia is often spotted in impeccable style staples, including a well cut jacket, a statement (not ‘It’) bag and wow-inducing heels. Olivia’s timeless style is easy to translate, and appeals to a wider population – a large chunk of which definitely likes to look fashionably ‘pulled together’. Fave 2012 fashion moment: Rocking the peplum trend […]

The Fash-off! Charlotte Casiraghi vs Hayley Atwell

It’s business as usual on Planet Celebrity as the stars have been bending over backwards with their red carpet sartorial efforts. And this week’s Fash-off has us torn between two shades of blue on two stunning ladies. Charlotte Casiraghi, granddaughter of Grace Kelly, Princess of Monaco, (in case you were wondering, y’know) sported a form-fitting, cobalt blue Gucci gown with cut out detailing for the 2nd Annual Gucci Award for Women in Cinema. It was only fitting the amateur show-jumper and dedicated equestrian, whose show-jumping career is sponsored by Gucci, and she appears in the brand’s Forever Now campaign, would don a stunning dress Frida Giannini specially crafted for her. Look-at-me earrings and a Gucci stingray clutch (natch) completed her look. On the other side of the blue spectrum, Anglo-American actress and leading lady in the soon-to-be-released The Sweeney, Hayley Atwell, decided to take an oceanic view to dressing and rocked up to the London premiere of the film in a turquoise, Spring 2012 Emilio Pucci lace dress. Completing her eye-opening bright look was a Lulu Guinness ‘Lips’ clutch (a rather fitting, quirkily British touch), and Charlotte Olympia pumps. Here’s what we thought… Fashion News Ed, Maria says: You can’t really go wrong with a bit of Gucci on the red carpet – especially if you work so closely with the brand. Just look at Blake Lively for proof! I love this colour on Charlotte- it complements her hair and skin tone beautifully and the earrings really bring out the electric tones of the dress. Magical! I love the subtle cutaway detailing too as it brings just the right amount of sexiness to the look without overdoing it. Well, if you have the body (which she definitely does) then you’d be a fool not to flaunt it. It’s a toughie […]

Leighton Meester for Vera Wang’s new Lovestruck Floral Rush fragrance

Last week it was all about Blake Lively for Gucci, but now it’s her Gossip Girl co-star Leighton Meester’s turn to shine on a fragrance ad campaign. After all, Blair Waldorf wouldn’t have it any other way! Leighton is posing pretty for Carter Smith, as she promotes Vera Wang’s new ‘Lovestruck Floral Rush’ scent – a follow-up to the popular ‘Lovestruck’ perfume that she is also the face of! Top notes of this fragrance include champagne, pink pepper and apricot blossom, as well as some pink passion flower, marigold and white freesia in the middle. Sounds pretty scrumptious, but we’ll let you be the judge of that when it comes out later this month. And just like the original Lovestruck fragrance, it continues with the modern day Romeo and Juliet theme… can’t go wrong with a good old-fashioned love story with a contemporary twist! [Sassi Sam]

Mel C was our best dressed Spice Girl at yesterday’s Viva Forever! press call – who was yours?

Yesterday’s ‘Celebrity Style’ post was focused on the ever-gorgeous Blake Lively, so as much as we wanted to gush about the TWO beautiful Marchesa and Jenny Packham outfits she wore to The Late Show last night, we thought we’d give someone else a go in the style spotlight. It’s only fair, after all. So, from Gossip Girl to Spice Girl (see what we did there?) we present you: Melanie Chisholm. Mel C, i.e. Sporty Spice, definitely gets our style gold medal for her immaculate appearance at yesterday’s press call for the announcement of the Viva Forever! musical. Don’t act like you’re not excited about it – we’ve seen you Googling the date of opening night! As usual, Victoria Beckham looked pristine, polished and you guessed it, posh, but did you honestly ever think you’d see Sporty Spice in an elegant white mullet dress? No. Exactly – hence why we are showing our appreciation for Mel C’s sartorial choice in the best way we know how. While we loved Emma Bunton’s cute style (we adore those Brian Atwood platforms!) and were quite fond of Geri Halliwell’s flirty (albeit slightly age inappropriate) dress and Mel B’s Lanvin number, Mel C gets our best-dressed vote without a doubt. We love a good fashion risk, and this white Acne dress was definitely one which paid off. Mel C is our best dressed, but who is yours? Vote now! [poll id=”352″] [Image]

Neck candy ALERT: Shourouk necklaces at Matches

A statement necklace is the perfect top coat for any outfit. If you’re a minimalism-seeker, we suspect your sartorial palette will favour blush pink, grey, nude and black, and with such a ‘cleansed’ wardrobe, we don’t expect an accessory jamboree, either. That’s why we love it when we find that perfect ‘bridge accessory’ that allows an outfit to be uplifted without trying too hard. A simple pull-over, skinny jeans, heels and a statement necklace are the go-to pieces for casual glamour – a simple day look enhanced with a smattering of glitz. Enter three, hot-to-snap statement necklaces from French accessory brand, Shourouk, brainchild of designer Shourouk Rhaiem who launched her eponymous company in 2007. Citing Jacques demy films and the art and legacy of Frida Kahlo as design inspiration, Rhaiem creates edgy, ornate accessories and counts Sarah Jessica Parker, Blake Lively and even the First Lady as fans! We love the assortment of statement Shourouk necklaces at Matches; the Dynasty, Daisy Duke and Electro Storm necklaces would suit perfectly with a pared-down spring wardrobe by day, and spot on for taking your look from work desk to after party. Shourouk Dynasty necklace, £518; Shourouk Daisy Duke necklace, £480; Shourouk Electro Storm Necklace, £358, all available at Matches

20 shoes for 20 years – how Christian Louboutin is celebrating its 20th anniversary!

Legendary shoe designer Christian Louboutin is celebrating the 20th anniversary of his iconic brand the best way he knows how: by creating a stunning 20-piece capsule collection!  The ’20 shoes for 20 years’ capsule collection does exactly what it says on the tin – we get one gorgeous shoe for every year Christian Louboutin has been in our lives. There are even six cheeky bags added to the collection too, just for good measure. Spoilt, aren’t we? Considering his signature red-soled shoes have graced the feet of virtually every single female celeb, the likes of which include Kim Kardashian, Blake Lively, Victoria Beckham and more, it’s hard to believe the brand is a mere 20 years old! We’ve added a few of our favourite designs to our gallery below, but make sure you check out the official Christian Louboutin Facebook page too, as not only can you view the entire collection there, but you’ll be able to sign up to receive an email invitation to shop the collection when it becomes available. UK shoppers, this bit’s for you: Selfridges will be launching a pop up shop on Monday 27th February, which is perfect if you want to try before you buy. A late Valentine’s gift to yourself, perhaps?

Best of 2011: best dressed celebs

It’s getting towards the end of the year and we’ve been overcome by a sudden sense of contemplativeness.  While New Year might bring resolutions, diets and silly foil hats, there’s something it also brings that we’re not ashamed to love – yes, best of lists! Here at MFL we like a yearly round up just much as the next publication, but ours is, like, so much more fun because it involves clothes and celebrities. What’s not to love? We took a look through the year’s celebrity style hits to sift out the best from the average. So, fasten your seatbelt, kids, here’s our run through of this year’s best dressed… Alexa Chung in Miu Miu Looking like a grown up school girl, we loved Alexa Chung’s Miu Miu ensemble at the label’s spring/summer 2012 show in Paris earlier this year – no wonder she scooped the Style Icon Award for a second year running! Jessica Alba in Dolce & Gabbana Jessica Alba rarely puts a foot out of place and looks so pretty at a Swarovski party in California. Her lace Dolce & Gabbana dress combined with lashings of gems reminded us why we love Jess so much. Nicole Richie in Stella McCartney Kick starting us into the festive mood this year, style queen Nicole Richie wowed us in her Stella McCartney poppy red skirt and sweater combo. Known for her laid-back boho style, she gave us a ladylike look we hadn’t seen from her in a long while. Selena Gomez in Marchesa Ladies and Gentlemen, the MFL award for Best Newcomer goes to 19-year-old Selena Gomez. Wearing this angelic Marchesa dress, she somehow looked girly and feminine whilst maintaining an air of sophistication. We predict big things! Olivia Palermo in Tibi Queen of accessorising, no best dressed is complete […]

Miranda Kerr looks futuristic in Peter Pilotto

It was the glitzy event everyone wanted to be on the guest list for last week. The Museum of Modern Art’s 4th Annual Film Benefit honoring acclaimed Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar in New York was awash with celebrities including Anna Wintor, Karen Elson, Sarah Jessica Parker, Blake Lively and Drew Barrymore. However, in the fashion stakes, there was one who stood out from all the rest – Orlando Bloom’s other half and supermodel Miranda Kerr. She’s been making some brave fashion choices lately and this futuristic Peter Pilotto dress from the designers’ spring/summer 2012 collection is one of the best. The zip and peplum detailing give it an edgy twist and the gorgeous blue and white print is, frankly, mesmerising. The 28-year-old chose to team the dress with an intricate pair of Nicholas Kirkwood lace-up mesh heels and a metallic Calvin Klein clutch bag. Swept back hair and a rosy pout was enough to complete the look. If we dress like this in the future, we might just invent a time machine… [poll id=”239″]

We’re used to seeing Grace Kelly in those timeless big screen movies in award-winning roles, but now it’s her turn to be the character being portrayed.  A small period of her life will be the subject of a big Hollywood film that hopes to be similar to the hugely successful Oscar-winning film The King’s Speech, in both ‘scope and tone’.

Cannes 2011: best dressed (pt 3)

As Cannes goes past its halfway point, you might be forgiven for thinking that the fashion may start to suffer (after all, it’s been going on for a week, how much couture is there on the planet?). Well, you’d be wrong, of course, because the last few days have bought out some of the most fabulous frocks on the most famous of people on the planet. Even red carpet royalty Brad and Angelina have made an appearance, though the less said about Brad’s white suit the better. See below for our third instalment of the best dressed ladies at Cannes Film Festival 2011…   Gwen Stefani Gwen in a floor-length ball gown? Not going to happen. The No Doubt singer (pictured here with hubby Gavin Rossdale) went in a completely different direction for the premiere of Tree of Life and chose a daring sequinned jumpsuit by Stella McCartney. Only Gwen could get away with a neckline that deep paired with wild curls in her hair, smoky eyes and hot pink  lips. Rosario Dawson Strutting her stuff down the catwalk for the Naomi Campbell’s Fashion for Relief charity event was actress Rosario Dawson. Sporting this seasons hottest hue, the tangerine coloured draped dress was the perfect shade for her and her uber fab figure. Perfect. Naomi Campbell Unlike most of the other attendees clad in white, Naomi’s been favouring the darker, more mysterious hues at Cannes. We love this dress on her at The Beaver premiere. The fitted bodice and the tiered skirt create a flawless (albeit softer) silhouette on the super. Jane Fonda Ok, we admit it, we couldn’t resist featuring Jane Fonda in Marchesa again. Continuing her successful style streak on the catwalk, she took to the runway for charity looking delectable in a figure-hugging gold dress. We can only presume jaws were dropping in the front row. How is […]

Met Ball 2011: best dressed

We’ve just about recovered from the excitement of the Royal wedding with its vast array of stylish guests and, of course, Kate Middleton’s breathtakingly beautiful McQueen gown – but the weekend hit us with more star-studded events as the Met Costume Institute Gala landed in New York last night. The Met Ball brings the best of the fashion, film and music industry together for a night of fabulous fashion and exhibitions, and this year’s gala was hosted by none other than Vogue editor Anna Wintour, who honoured the late Alexander McQueen with an exhibition called Savage Beauty. Naturally, the prestigious event is harder to get into than Wonka’s chocolate factory, so we’ve cast our sartorial eye over the fashion elite who bagged a Golden Ticket and strutted their stylish stuff on the red carpet. Here’s our top 10 best dressed from last night’s Met Ball…   Ashley Green She may play a vampire in Twilight, but Ashley Green managed to look positively angelic in a custom Donna Karen strapless gown. The nude voluminous tulle was adorned with silver sequins that trailed into a wedding-like train. Teamed with a sleek up-do and touches of sparkle in her ears, clutch and cuff, she looked positively radiant. Jessica Alba Always one to look utterly fabulous on the red carpet, Jessica Alba didn’t disappoint at last night’s Met Ball dressed in a custom Ralph Lauren platinum strapless bustier gown covered in a sparkly crystal-encrusted overlay that highlighted her growing baby bump. Blake Lively Being the face of Chanel has been a dream come true for this Gossip Girl starlet, and last night she was joined by Mr Karl Lagerfield himself. Naturally, Blake opted for Chanel couture by means of a nude embellished dress covered by silver-lilac a chiffon sash to flaunt her fabulous figure too much. Beyoncé […]

We want Rupert Sanderson’s autumn shoes NOW!

We’re in love, but we’re a bit broken hearted. The shoes above are from Rupert Sanderson’s AW11 collection, and they’re without a doubt our favourite footwear from the designer’s new season offering (with a name like Fandango, it was always on the cards). The electric blue suede and bright baby laces with oversized tassels are excitingly edgy, and we love the cute cut-outs and scalloped finish for a feminine balance. They’d look right at home on a certain Blake Lively, non? Anyway, they’re not available until autumn, so we’re having a little weep into our wardrobe about how we wish we could wear them now. Flick through our gallery to see more shoe delights from Rupert Sanderson next season… [nggallery id=16]

Lunchtime buy: Roksanda Ilincic one shoulder dress

Some occassions call for a new jaw-droppingly fabulous dress (that reunion ou know you’re ex is going to be at or that dinner where you’re potential future husband is going to be…you get the idea). And no one does jaw-dropping quite like Roksanda Ilincic. This divine one-shoulder neon pink dress is a show-stopper – it’s a classic shape, but the clever draping takes it from fun to flirty. The slight A-line through the hem will flatter your figure and the turned-up neckline adds interest to the classic asymmetric cut (which is flattering for all bust sizes, by the way). Plus, the waterfall ruffles to one side make it salsa-sexy. Wear with a tan, loose, undone hair and fierce nude shoes for a look that even Blake Lively would be jealous of. Roksanda Ilincic Fayalette one shoulder dress, £1025, available at Matches. BUY NOW!

Leighton Meester for Missoni SS11

She may not be the sole face behind Missoni’s SS11 campaign, but the rumours about Leighton Meester starring in the Italian label’s latest ads were true – and though, granted, it’s not as big a coup as fellow co-star Blake Lively’s Chanel deal, Leighton looks suitably sweet in Missoni nonetheless.

Victoria Beckham lands styling job?

She’s not showing any signs of slowing, is she? You’d think that, what with rebranding her denim and eyewear lines and hoisting her husband into the design helm for her rumoured menswear line, Victoria Beckham would have enough on her plate (metaphorically, of course). But apparently there’s always room to ponder another project.

Anna Sui’s punk collection

Anna Sui latest line of clothes is geared towards ‘punk-rock’ teenage girls. The designer has launched a new range based on US TV show ‘Gossip Girl’ – which is set in New York – for US store Target, and has been inspired by the Brooklyn-based characters Jenny Humphrey and Vanessa Abrams because they have a similar background to her. She said: ‘I love the punk-rock style of Jenny. And she has the bangs, just like me! I relate to her style most because I was the Brooklyn girl in high school.’ Jenny is played by Taylor Momsen, while Vanessa is Jessica Szohr. Although she has less in common with Blake Lively and Leighton Meester’s rich characters Serena van der Woodsen and Blair Waldorf, Anna says their luxury Manhattan lifestyle is catered for in the clothes.
