Jayma Mays Goes for Gold Silver in Christian Cota

| August 26, 2010 at 10:31 am

GLEE‘s Jayma Mays, who plays guidance counsellor Emma Pillsbury, shimmers in Christian Cota for the Audi & Chopard Emmy Week Kick-off party over the weekend.

The silver Spring 2010 one-shoulder dress was shortened to fit her petite frame and show off those toned legs, and she added Brian Atwood “Wagner” peep-toes, sparkly Chopard earrings and a Salvatore Ferragamo box clutch.

Nice work!

In other news, Jayma reveals that she wants to postpone the impending on-screen romance between her character Emma and Will, played by Matthew Morrison.

She explained that she believes fans of the show would be disappointed if the relationship blossomed too quickly.

“Do you think people really want [a romance] this soon?” she said to E!. “That’s my question. I know people want it, but they want to wait for it. So I don’t know.”

Jayma also thinks the characters wouldn’t make a good couple anyway, at the moment.

“On a character note, I don’t know if they’re quite ready just yet,” she said. “I know they tried really quickly after he left his wife and all that, but it didn’t really work. So I think maybe having a bit of space is good.”

Glee will return for its second season on September 21 in the US.

Jessica Lowndes Kicks Off Emmy Week in Matthew Williamson

| August 26, 2010 at 10:14 am

90210‘s Jessica Lowndes walked the striped carpet at the Audi & Chopard Emmy Week Kick-off Party in an easy Matthew Williamson Resort 2011 dress, featuring a ikat-style print and orange waisted belt. Jessica, who plays Adrianna on the show, matched her accessories to the bright cincher, wearing amber drop earrings an ombre clutch. She added chocolate Stuart Weitzman “Lillie” peep-toes to finish off the look.

Personally, we would have gone with a daintier purse and less orangey blush, but each to their own!

Icelandic Fashion Label Accuses Beyonce of Ripping Off Design

Left: E-label's legging. Right: Deréon leggings.

JUST as the fashion world looks past leather biker jackets, studs and rock and roll into 50′s femme fatale glam, images of Beyoncé modelling a new pair of studded leggings from the latest Deréon Fall/Holiday 2010 campaign made its way across the internet. But that didn’t fly past Icelandic fashion brand E-label, who is concerned that one of their designs was ripped off by the house that Bey built.

Compare the pair: to the left are E-label’s “heavy metal” leggings, and to the right is Beyoncé in her version, complete with tattooed spine and all.

“This is naturally huge, and I am still half in shock,” said E-label’s Helba Hallgrimsdottir. “I didn’t twig straightaway that this was her own label, I just thought she was wearing our leggings.”

“It is practically just copy/paste.”

Although we do see a conundrum, we must say there is more than a few differences between the two—the studs on Bey’s pair are larger, and they aren’t placed uniformly like those on the E-label version. Then there is the lack of a gathered waistband.

Hallgrimsdottir theorises that Bey might have purchased their pair from Topshop’s Edit section—which features up-and-coming designers of their choosing—last November. But even if the Grammy-winning singer did rip the design off, there aren’t any laws that will stand up to the claim because the Reykjavik-based designer didn’t copyright her design (oops!).

In other news, just as Beyoncé has to deal with these claims, Madonna faces the music on the use of her “Material Girl” line for Macy’s as well.

According to RadarOnline, the original Materical Girl has been slapped with a lawsuit from clothing manufacturer LA Triumph, who says it has been using the registered named for its juniors line since 1997.

The court documents cite direct competition from Madonna’s line as a threat to the LA Triumph label, sold at Nordstrom, and that the “plaintiff’s Material Girl clothing line retails at the same price point and in the same general retail space as the Defendant’s infringing clothes”.

The lawsuit also hints that they will next target retailer Macy’s for promoting Madonna and Lourdes’ teenage clothing line.

Ouch.

Jessica Szohr Glows in Notte by Marchesa, Wants Taylor Momsen’s Wardrobe

| August 25, 2010 at 3:09 pm

DITCHING her usual, laid back style, Gossip Girls‘ Jessica Szohr turned up for the Los Angeles premiere of Piranha 3D on the weekend wearing a scarlet Notte by Marchesa cocktail dress.

She kept her long locks off her décolletage to show off the fan pleated detail of the dress, and added pearlescent gold Aldo platform heels and a matching clutch by Laura Merkin.

In other news, Jessica revealed she is jealous of co-star Taylor Momsen’s wardrobe—from their television series, that is; we can’t imagine anyone wanting a piece of Taylor’s real-life “hooker chic” style!

Although Jessica loves her character Vanessa’s pieces, she wishes she could trade closets with Jenny”I personally think Jenny has the best wardrobe on the show—it’s kind of grungy, but girly, without being too put together,” said Jessica to NYLON magazine.

“Blair is too structured and perfect, Serena is always glammed up. Vanessa’s way too much with every colour and patern,” she added. “It sounds like I’m being negative about them all, but I’m not—I think they all look great. But if I was going to go shopping for me, I’d head straight into Jenny’s closet.”

Which Gossip Girl‘s style would you steal?

WHILE Angelina Jolie went for the sweeping floor-length gown in London, Jennifer Aniston opts to shows off those famous, toned, tanned gams in a colourblock Lanvin dress and easy nude kitten heels.

Are you Team Aniston or Team Jolie?

Angelina Jolie Brings Back Sexy Glamour for ‘Salt’

| August 19, 2010 at 5:15 pm

BRINGING sexy spy style to the black carpet at the London premiere of Salt, Angelina Jolie shimmers in an embellished Amanda Wakeley gown and minimal accessories.

She also wore specially-designed Ferragamo peep-toe platforms which stayed hidden most of the time beneath the dusty pink lining of the floor-length number, and stuck to the tried-and-tested, choosing smokey eyes and peachy pink lips to complete her ensemble.

We love it when she brings out her inner goddess instead of that mumsy style we’ve come to heavily disapprove of!
