Who has a lot of opinions about what Kate Middleton should wear the day she becomes a princess? Designers, that's who! From Karl Lagerfeld, who favors "high boots," to Christian Lacroix, who designed an Elizabethan bodice, everyone has a fantasy. More »

"Kind" Blake Lively Sued By Disgruntled Tailor

Blake Lively's being sued by a Brooklyn tailor who did $500 worth of alterations on her Teen Choice Awards frock. While the Gossip Girl star was apparently "extremely kind" during the fitting, she's yet to pay up. Now Blake's people say the tailor screwed up the dress and they're only willing to pay half. Sounds like a job for Judge Judy! [TMZ]
Heidi's peeps are saying Heidiwood wasn't discontinued; rather, the contract was only for one year! "We just felt that the one year was a great year for both of us, and we're looking into other options...We really found that we want to explore … what style really means to our girl … and that doesn't necessarily mean a celebrity brand. It really means fashion and comfort, and we can really accomplish that with our own brand." [New York Mag]

Holy underminer, Batman! Whitney Port on her clothing line: "I'm developing a clothing line. It won't be like Lauren's stuff, which I loved. Mine will be a little more high-end." [Radar]
"Fashion Victims: The Catty Catalogue of Stylish Casualties From A to Z" by Michael Roberts, fashion director of Vanity Fair, sounds like it will be fascinating to the fashionistas he skewers and completely stultifying to everyone else. "Roberts has written a poem for each letter of the alphabet, for instance P for "photographer": "Why am I so fabulous? What makes me truly great? What would life be without me? It's hard to contemplate . . . No billboards straddling city streets with body parts gigantic/Nor me with glass in premiere class crisscrossing the Atlantic." The accompanying illustration is a caricature of Mario Testino. " Sounds like a gas. [NY Post]
Early estimates place the price of Cindy McCain's RNC outfit at $300,000. Well, in fairness $280,000 goes towards her three-karat diamond earrings. [US News]

This Season's Bridal Wares Continue To Inspire Shock, Awe

Jennifer — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 16:00:00 EDT

Another day, another set of new bridal collections to judge. Lela Rose, Oscar de la Renta, and Carolina Herrera are all noted presences in the (non-bridal) fashion world, each offering their own take on classicism and femininity. As for their their bridal collections, each had varying levels of success. Lela Rose's dresses are good in concept, but the execution is a little meh. Oscar de la Renta (at left) offers something for every taste: Sheaths! Princess skirts! Pantsuits! Cocktail dresses! And while many are unquestionably beautiful, his Scarlett O'Terror look is a bad, bad idea. Carolina Herrera's collection was the most consistent, and definitely had moments of brilliance. But the Three Blind Mice-meets-Dr. Zhivago styling certainly isn't for everyone. (Or maybe even anyone.) The collections for your review, after the jump. More »

So, Jenna Bush is getting married this spring (which is a totally gross, opportunistic way to distract the American public from the war, btw) and her mama, Laura, has commissioned the biggest names in American fashion to submit sketches for her darling daughter's big day. (Think Jenna will get sauced at the reception?) After the jump, check out sketches of the contenders, with comments, suggestions and (not so) gentle urgings. Here stumbles the bride! More »
