Dressing like You’re In A Sofia Coppola Movie: A Comprehensive Guide


Source: Cinemafanatic

Isn’t it nice/jealousy-inducing when the children of incredibly talented famous people turn out to be just as incredibly talented as their predecessors? That’s what happened in the case of Sofia Coppola, the spawn/offspring/daughter of Francis Ford Coppola, whose movies we’ve never grown tired of even after watching them over and over and over (thank goodness for digital copies, our DVD’s are shot).

Sofia writes and directs female characters geared towards paths of ethereal discovery – something they happen to be doing in (often) incredibly awesome clothes. And seeing as how Sofia is BFF’s with Marc Jacobs, it’s safe to say that she is no stranger to ~fashion~, and her personal style is the instigator of that je ne sais quoi to the aesthetic of her films. If you’ve ever wanted to emulate her latest, greatest, and most lovely, read on for a comprehensive guide to follow along with the best style moments in her movies. read more…

What The MTV Movie Awards Nominees Will Look Like In 35 Years.

Emma Stone is the recipient of the 2012 MTV Movie Awards Trailblazer Award. Which got us thinking - we wonder what Emma will look like in 35 years, once the trail has been blazed, and the trail, in turn, blazes her. So, we did some research. And the results (see: above) got us wondering the same thing about the rest of the young Movie Awards nominees. So, we did some more research. Observe: read more…

TOP 5: Awesome / Talented / Fashionable Sister-Sisters

There’s nothing quite as strong as the bond you have with your sister (unless that bond is between you and the last pair of marked down translucent snakeskin Margiela boots… in the future, of course.) But in all seriousness, these sisters not only share the same great good-looking genes, but they’re also talented and wickedly fashionable. read more…

HEADLINES: Sponge Bob Makes a Comeback, Taylor Momsen Cuddles Porn Stars, and Ironically Courtney Cox Needs More Friends.

It was all about yellow last night at the Critic’s Choice Awards. Youngins Elizabeth Olsen and Elle Fanning were both pretty and on trend, however Diana Kruger trumped the kiddies; looking drop dead in a yellow & gray number and proving that nepotism doesn’t always win! (Popsugar)

I’m calling bullshit! Courtney Cox says that estranged hubby David Arquette is her “favourite person in the world” and her “best friend.” Your cheating, “sober”, fool of an ex is your bff? Girl you gots to get some better friends! Where are Phoebe and Rachel when you need them? (People)

Taylor Momsen has been filling up her Gossip Girl-less schedule with cuddle sessions … with porn star Jenna Haze. I’ve literally never been LESS surprised. (Hollywood Tuna)

When you are a celebrity you give birth in “birthing suites” not hospital rooms used by commoners. And when you are Beyonce, you give birth in a brand new suite nicer than the penthouse at the Four Seasons, constructed just for you. Ugh, B & Jay as parents are so … extra! (TMZ)

Why is it that Britney’s booboos never seem to age? I swear they’ve looked this way forever. I feel like Suri Cruise is aging rapidly in comparison. (Daily Mail)

Kristen Stewart will be the face of Balenciaga’s newest fragrance. The fashion house said they chose Kristen based on her “sensibility and intelligence” to which the vampire-humper responded, “The brand is just cool.” Wow brilliant insight. Somebody call Mensa! (Fashionologie)

This is Noel Gallagher’s daughter Anais. She’s eleven and she’s a model. Oh and she’s the next Kate Moss. Yawn. Just like every other blonde British model under the age of 18. Would the real next Kate Moss please stand up? (Fashionista)

This is what Pharrell Williams, Coco Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Jacobs, and Terry Richardson would look like if they were related to Sponge Bob. Really important journalistic stuff here. You’re welcome! (High Snobiety)

HEADLINES: Adriana Back Pedals, The Kardashians Lie – Yawn, and Jennifer Lopez is Dating This.

Former publicist to Kim Kardashian has blasted the star for staging much of her life in the last couple of years. Jonathan Jaxson told a radio station he even helped Kim stage publicity stunts between 2007 and 2009; like a fake proposal from Reggie Bush. They lie; are we really surprised? (Pop 2 It)

Sisters will be sisters. Elle and Dakota Fanning, the sissys of the moment, cover W’s December issue. The accompanying article details Elle’s frustration over not being able to steal Dakota’s clothes since she left for college. Sister problems! (Fashionista)

Jennifer Lopez is dating ANOTHER back up dancer; 24 year old Casper Smart. Yeah, cause that worked out so well the first time! I guess old habits die hard. Ugh, couldn’t she pick someone better looking? (People)

Adriana Lima is trying to back pedal on the details of her extreme dieting before the VS Fashion Show. She swears it was all a misunderstanding and pleads with the teenagers out there to, “Do not try this at home!” I’m sorry girl, you’re beautiful, but you are not fooling anyone! (Daily News)

Kat Von D took to her Facebook page (classy!) to slam her ex, and all around scumbag, Jesse James for cheating on her with 19 women. Shocker! At least she is aware that everyone told her so. People are idiots. (TMZ)

Pippa Middleton’s charmed life took a detour last week when she ended her relationship with Alex Loudon for good. The Duchess’ sister was apparently so upset she pulled out of a Society Masked Ball. It’s so sad when the kids social calendar suffers. (US Weekly)

Nikki Reed’s Career Plan – Step 1: Marry someone famous that is not better looking, or more popular than you to grab some attention. Step 2: Parlay your 15 minutes into a jewelry line; because you can.  Step: Be the face of a mediocre product and hope the twi-hards eat it up. (Style Watch)

My Favourite Girl Babes Play Cover Girl for ‘Love’, Tim Gunn School Hilary Clinton on Style and Jessica Simpson Thinks We Care About Her Wedding. Style Headlines for Everyone!

Carrera y Carrera, a Spanish jewelry line, has hired Olivia Palermo to be the new face and spokesperson for their brand. Just throwing this out there, but what are the chances that Olivia actually speaks Spanish? Mmm … slim to none! (Popsugar)

Love Magazine has been slowly releasing its Sixth Issue covers and so far so GREAT. They started with my fave little sis Elle Fanning followed by the young and edgy Chloe Mortez. I dare you to guess who came next! Why my favourite it-girl of the moment Haliee Steinfeld of course. Drool. Check them out if you can handle it, lace, tears and all. (Fashionista)

Fred Perry is said to be holding back on releasing its collaboration with Amy Winehouse. With all due sympathy and respect, that’s the worst business decision I’ve ever heard! (Vogue)

Code Red! Jessica Simpson doesn’t have a wedding dress yet! This Defcon 5 shit! (People)

Ooo gurl! Oh no you didn’t! Tim Gunn has fighting words for Hilary Clinton. (Dlisted)

First Sean Avery and now Amar’e Stoudmire! NY athletes cannot resist their city’s passion for fashion. (Styleist)

The U.K. has banned a L’Oreal make-up ad featuring Julia Roberts. Really U.K.? Really? No leniency for Jules? Did you see Notting Hill? Gutless. (Huffpost Style)
