LONDON, UK — Scarlett Johansson was in London last week (7/31/2009) promoting Dolce & Gabbana make-up line at Selfridges department store. Yes, her make-up/face looked flawless. The 24-year-old actress said, “I like the line’s modern classic makeup because I like a modern classic look. When I go out, I always pay homage to the golden age of Hollywood.”

Scarlett was dressed in a floral print blouse and a peachy high-waisted skirt, naturally, both were by Dolce & Gabbana.

There’s no conflict of interest in the fact that Johansson has been promoting Dolce & Gabbana and Mango (Spanish clothing chain previously endorsed by Penelope Cruz) simultaneously, right? With her movie career lagging a bit, Scarlett made smart move towards profitable product endorsements…

MILAN, ITALY –  Madonna is in Italy with her Sticky and Sweet Tour and her Brazilian model boyfriend Jesus Luz. While in Milan, Madonna had an opportunity to socialize with old pals, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. The designer duo went to see Madonna in concert last night after which Madonna, Jesus and D&G went to posh Restorante Gold for a dinner (D&G own this restaurant).

Madonna was dressed in a Dolce & Gabbana leopard print dess ($2395 at Bergdorf Goodman) and Christian Louboutin shoes. Interesting, would Madonna have worn the dress if she knew that Whitney Houston wore the dress a day earlier in London at her album listening party? We couldn’t help but link to WhitneyWorld to show the picture below. Thanks guys!

NEW YORK –  Check out Teen Vogue web site for behind the scenes look at Ed Westwick Teen Vogue March 2009 fashion photo shoot. 

In an exclusive interview the 21-year-old Gossip Girl bad boy revealed plans to start a musical movement in New York. Perhaps he was talking about putting together another rock band as his old British garage rock band The Filthy Youth is now defunct (they actually played pretty cool music).

During the interview Westwick called his personal style casual and cool. He said that his style is influenced by musical art – by different forms of music. Photo on the left shows Westwick during photo shoot wearing Dolce & Gabbana blazer, black Victor Glemaud henley, Tim Hamilton striped t-shirt, Acne jeans and Lady Grey necklace. So, this is how you wear henley sweaters. Cool.

No need to look further than Spring/Summer 09 fashion ad campaigns to see how much the fashion industry depends on celebrity mannequins. Better yet is to see all the campaigns in one place. Well, we just wanted to see ‘the big picture.’ Click the small pictures below.

Victoria Beckham has followed in the footsteps of her husband, David Beckham, and lended her immaculate body for Armani Spring/Summer 2009 underwear campaign.

Katie Holmes is the muse behind Miu Miu Spring / Summer 2009 ad campaign. Her looks were reportedly inspired by the works of famous Italian film director Federico Fellini.

NEW YORK – Bride Wars — the movie starring Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway — opened this past Friday to horrible reviews. It’s not doing great in the box office either, but there’s a lot of great fashion in the movie. So, one more time we turn to Bride Wars for inspiration.

The coats in the movie are utterly fabulous. On the right, Kate Hudson wears a Burberry trench coat. There’s a similar style available from Burberry web site for $749 (originally $1495). Kate accessorized with Tod’s T Bag Media Tote.

Anne Hathaway wears a green trench coat from Lavander Label by Vera Wang. This coat appeared in multiple scenes. It is impossible to find or back order this coat as the movie filmed last spring. Perhaps Urban Outfitters UK offers the best match LUX by Sara & Aimee Berman High Collar Trench for 79.99GBP (original 169GBP). GAP is offering a $78 green trench coat that is nothing like the one seen on Anne Hathaway. There’s another green trench from Target by Merona for $39.99. By the way Anne Hathaway paired her green trench with a brown Coach Gigi tote bag (not shown).

There are couple more coats worth mentioning.

Kate Hudson is in a black Dolce & Gabbana coat, and Anne Hathaway is sporting another trench coat – burgundy Hugo Boss.

.The two LBDs below play particular role in the movie.

Hudson’s character, Liv, is a lawyer. Liv (pictured in Marchesa dress) has money, loves clothes and can buy what she likes. Hathaway’s character, Emma, is a teacher, and her budget is not limitless. Emma, who has strong sense of style, wears the same clothes over and over again but every time accessorizes them in a new way. Here, Anne Hathaway’s character is dressed in a J. Crew black dress.

Photo below shows Emma in a Marc Jacobs dress while Liv wears black Club Monaco dress. Right photo features Emma in a floral blouse by Zara combined with 7 For All Mankind Jeans. Liv is wearing Hudson jeans and brown UGG boots.
