Scarlett Johansson Engaged to Stone Fox French Journalist
Scarlett Johansson is officially engaged to Frenchman and too-hot-to-be-a-journalist journalist Romain Dauriac, her rep confirms. "They're very happy... they haven't chosen a date for the wedding." After faking us out numerous times this past year with non-nuptial diamond rings, her actual engagement ring is "a vintage…
See-Through Dresses and Flesh on Display at the AmFar Gala
It was around 26° last night when the amfAR New York Gala kicked off Fall 2013 Fashion Week. For some attendees, it was important to be somewhat weather-appropriate. Other folks just went right ahead and wore sheer dresses and showed plenty of skin, hypothermia (and good taste) be damned.

Well, this is interesting: Carine Roitfeld, who was deposed as editor of Vogue Paris in late 2010, has taken a position at Harper's Bazaar. Roitfeld, who just published the first issue of her new project CR Fashion Book, will be the Vogue competitor's "global fashion director."

Carine Roitfeld has this to say about makeup: "I don't like it when makeup looks very try-too-hard. I like it when makeup looks like you have more important things to do than to look at yourself.

Carine Roitfeld confirms in a new interview what we already knew back in 2008: those rumors that she, a barely-English speaking editor then in charge of a publication with a circulation of around 130,000, would be tapped to replace Anna Wintour at the helm of the behemoth that is American Vogue were totally false, just …
