TRENDING: Peplum

We couldn’t help but notice that hips were a big deal on the spring 2012 runways. We suppose a little extra flare never hurt anyone. As Shakira once said: hips don’t lie. read more…

HEADLINES: Wooooo! Wu Teams with Target, Ungaro Survives Plague Lohan, and The Ugg Boot is the New Grinch That Stole Christmas.

Look books and runway shows no longer cut it in this business; now you need a film! Not just a video, a film! Here’s the latest from Miu Miu, a film by Bruce Weber entitled “Portrait of Hailee” featuring the breath-taking Hailee Steinfeld. Seriously, I think I just fell in love (as much love as you can be in with a 14 year old minor).  (Fashionologie)

Wowza! Kristen Stewart looks stunning on the cover of GQ UK rocking a black retro bikini and her darker Snow White locks. See you don’t need to show your lady bits in order to be sexy; this is sexy and she’s basically wearing granny panties. You hear me Snooki? (PopSugar)

Well, it turns out she bent the shit out of the place, but did not break it. Emanuel Ungaro was able to find life after Hurricane Lindsay as was displayed yesterday at their runway show in Paris. This is an unbelievable feat; I mean really, how do you recover from star shaped pasties? (Style.com)

Joe’s Jeans is celebrating 10 years of making kick-ass jeans by making EVEN MORE kick-ass jeans. Their anniversary Joe’s Wild Collection will offers a mix of their best-selling styles in a limited-edition leopard print fabric. Betcha Khloe Kardashian already has 7 pairs! (In Style)

The Cut isn’t messing around. With all the hoopla (yeah, I said “hoopla”) surrounding Kanye West’s fashion debut, The Cut has paired down all the bullshit into an easy to read point form verdict: what he did right and what he did wrong. The number of pros and cons are pretty equal; however, one of the pros is that he didn’t name his line “Kanye’s Kollection” so … you know. (The Cut)

They just won’t die! The latest rebirth of the Ugg-ly boot is in the form of an Ugg boot Christmas stocking. Seriously mates? Can someone please just order a hit on these things and be done with it? We’ve suffered enough. (Refinery 29)

After unparalleled success with Missoni, Target has announced its next collaboration will be with Jason Wu. Woooo! I smell another crash coming. The collection is set to debut in February of next year. Gahhh five months will seem like a lifetime! (Elle)

Reese Witherspoon is More Badass Than I Thought, Katie Holmes’ Pants Make Me Wanna Puke and Justin Bieber Tanks for Vanity Fair. These are Today’s Style Headlines. You’re Welcome!

Uh oh, you’re so totally busted! Reese Witherspoon was in Malibu celebrating with the fam yesterday, wearing white shorts and a denim shirt. Clearly she was trying to hide something but the wind was not her friend. Kinda badass though. (Socialite Life)

Lily Allen covers Elle UK’s August issue and gives an honest but predictable interview. Celebrities don’t eat and they take Speed and Adderall to suppress their appetite, the singer said. This we know, but thanks for coming out! (Amy Grindhouse)

Oh God! Katie Holmes really does not know how to dress. Between her own ‘designs’ and this ill fitting pair of black pants I’m convinced Tom has taken over as her personal stylist. How freaking hard is it to get a pair of black pants right? Girl that’s fashion 101 shit. (Just Jared)

The August cover of Vogue features “Mrs. Jamie Hince” looking demure. Yes, demure! (Vogue)

LeAnn Rimes is just one of those girls. You know the ‘never put my phone down, take a million selfies pics, look at myself in the mirror every 5 mins, flaunt my crotch tattoo even though my step-kids are around’ kinda girl. (PopSugar)

What’s with this movement towards rubber and plastic shoes?  I can literally feel blisters forming just looking at these Jason Wu for Melissa shoes. (Fashionologie)

Good to know there are still some arenas in which Justin Bieber does not thrive. Our Canadian kid could use a reality check. (The Cut)

Damn Dior just can’t catch a break. I’m sure these negative reviews are making Galliano a happy camper this morning. (Huffpost Style)

Style headlines exist because of Jessica Di Clemente. So check her out. Now.

THAT ’70S… STYLE

Farrah Fawcett would be proud, THE ’70S ARE BACK! From king-of-cool designer Marc Jacobs to Fergie Ferge, the ’70s are trending HARD. So gather up your wide leg pants, classic neutrals, wooden platforms and colourful florals from the back of your closet (or your mom’s) ’cause baby, the good ol’ days are back! read more…

Arnold Schwarzenegger is a Dirty Cheater, Jason Wu Thinks Twitter is for Birds Only, and Topshop Wants its Customers to Stop Getting Naked. These and Other Style Headlines:

Surprise, surprise Arnold has a love child. Please – I predicted this years ago. Now I’m just waiting for all the mistresses to come out the woodwork. When will these sleazes learn? If you can pay a girl for sex you can also pay her to spill her story. You actually think these home wreckers are into you because you have a sparkling personality? (E! Online)

Ralph Lauren will be interviewed for the first time in 20 years … by Oprah! Of course he is. I don’t get why all these celebrities trust Oprah, and only Oprah, to interview them. I mean she’s no Larry King, girl still insists John Travolta is straight and that the Black Eyed Peas are talented. (Fashonologie)

Anna Wintour’s doppelganger is set to replace Valerie Salebier at Harper’s Bazaar. First of all: is anyone actually still reading HB? And is it just me or does it seem like it’s ‘firing’ season. Somewhere Donald Trump is smiling. (The Cut)

The fashion world isn’t so keen on social media. Jason Wu is no exception. J thinks you actually have to be a bird to tweet. Ah sweetie, no. (Styleite)

The Queen of New York declares her support for gay marriage in her city. No not a drag, just a Queen. (Refinery 29)

My girl Hailee Steinfeld has been named the new face of Miu Miu. I really like her, so let’s all pray that she doesn’t resemble her predecessor Ms. Linnocent Lohan at all.  (Vogue)

Oscar de la Renta’s resort collection pays homage to Picasso and his Cubism. Don’t worry no models were chopped up, analyzed and rearranged in the process. (FabSugar)

Ladies, thanks to Kinect, you can now try on clothes with out getting naked. Finally! … I think. Ten bucks says this technology isn’t as user-friendly as it seems and people end up just getting naked anyway. (HuffPost Tech)

Written by the witty & opinionated Jessica Di Clemente.

+ If you like funny things: CHECK OUT MORE HEADLINES. If you don’t, you probably hate puppies, too.
