oops...

anna wintour & marc jacobs wore the same prada fur coat to the great gatsby premiere last night.  teen vogue editor in chief, amy astley, posted the picture to instagram saying "new york's finest #annawintour @marcjabobsintl wearing @prada #thegreatgatsby screening. #bestfashionmoment.

queen of vogue

okay, maybe not queen of vogue....but, pretty close.  this morning, anna wintour was named artistic director of condé nast. she still keeps her titles of editor-in-chief of vogue & editorial director of teen vogue but now takes on some of the responsibilities of si newhouse jr., the chairmain & ceo of condé nast. according to the new york times, that will include advising editors on the company's other magazine, expanding those brands onto new platforms, finding new talent, & reinforcing aesthetics. the title was created especially for wintour. according to ny magazine, condé nast ceo charles townsend claims the company was willing to "go to great distances to avoid losing anna, particularly in the prime of her career."

metropolitan costume gala - 2012

the good:

anna wintour in customized prada. 

i'm not usually a fan of hers but i think she nailed it for the night.

lana del rey in altuzarra.

kind of love. very schiaperelli.

mary-kate olsen in the row.

i know she's getting panned but i LOVE LOVE LOVE this!  

seriously love. i'm all about granny chic.

cate blanchett in alexander mcqueen.

regal as always.

rooney mara in givenchy.

edgy but soft. i like her red carpet style.

linda fargo in schiaparelli.

jessica stam in dior by john galliano.

i bet this felt amazing to wear.

lily collins in valentino.

so loving the 70s valentino looks.

sarah jessica parker in valentino.

did i mention i've been into granny chic lately?  

marion cotillard in christian dior couture.

don't love this but she looks great.

camilla belle in ralph lauren collection.

i've really been liking ralph lauren again.

okay ignore the actress (emma stone) who looks like a 6 year old (sorry alber) - it's all about karlie kloss in jason wu.  tried to find a better picture but couldn't. love that the 17 year old looks like a vixen! 

bianca brandolini d'adda in dolce & gabbana.

okay she looks like a shiny midieval maiden but i kind of like that she went balls to the wall.

the short:

carey mulligan in prada.

shiny. shiny. shiny.

kristen wiig in stella mccartney.

i normally don't love her on the red carpet but i think this shape is quite flattering on her.

kate bosworth in prada. 

stella tennant in chanel.

the risk-takers:

anja rubik in anthony vaccarello.

i guess if i had her body i would go for it as well.

florence welch in alexander mcqueen.

again this is getting panned but i kind of really love it. i mean why not? you're going to the met costume gala, why not just go for it?  i bet she feels absolutely wonderful in this.

chloe sevigny in miu miu.

not my thing but she is rocking it. and not boring.

the boring & safe:

(but can't say they don't look good)

jessica alba in michael kors.

amber valletta in prada.

amy adams in  giambattista valli.

sofia vergara in marchesa.

julianne hough in carolina herrera.

 the couples:

l'wren scott & mick jagger.

james murphy & christina topsøe.

i would totally wear her dress.

james franco in gucci & marina abramovic.

david byrne & sally singer.

jessica biel in prada & justin timberlake.

the bad:

kirsten dunst in rodarte.

mrs. claus?

gwyneth paltrow in prada.

this is doing absolutely nothing for her.

kate winslet

josh hartnett.....hello hotty - where have you been hiding??

he looks smoking hot!

last night mario testino was honored at the el museo del barrio annual gala at cipriani's in new york.
"he has a way with things, to do whatever he wants," donatella versace told style.com "we know he will talk us into doing absolutely anything for him," kate winslet said in her introduction. "when mario turns to you and says, "it's beautiful, but i think it would be better naked, no? ' i wonder how can one refuse?"
during his closing statement from the dias, testino whipped out his camera & took a snapshot of the fashionable crowd prompting them to give him a huge round of applause.
new york magazine took the opportunity to ask carine roitfeld about her upcoming work when they bumped into her. "i'm doing an entire issue of v magazine with mario testino, and we'll start the shooting tomorrow," she said. when asked who was on the cover she responded, "kate winslet." they asked her if there were any truth to the rumours that she's starting a magazine and she said "maybe," coyly laughing, "now i have freedom like a butterfly, so i can go from one place to another."
