Sarah Jessica Parker Squeals In Dismay Over Time Out New York Cover

Jessica — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 13:30:00 EDT

Remember when we said we wouldn't talk about Sex and the City anymore? Obviously, we were full of shit. (As evidenced by this post and its predecessor.) On Friday night, Sarah Jessica Parker and writer Michael Patrick King appeared on Charlie Rose talking about the myriad magazine covers with the SATC stars' visages slapped on 'em. They were thrilled to pieces about the Vogue cover, delighted about the New York Magazine spread, but they were distinctly displeased about the Time Out New York cover depicting Carrie and the girls with duct tape on their mouths. Michael Patrick points out that no one was putting duct tape over Harrison Ford's mouth when he was doing scads of press for Indiana Jones. "Is it really that Sex and the City should shut up, or that women should shut up?" King wonders. Is the cover really sexist, or are King and Parker just upset about bad press?

At Costume Institute Gala, The Good Superheroes Took A Fashion Flight Of Fancy

Jennifer — Tue, 06 May 2008 10:30:00 EDT

Okay let's cut to the chase: Last night. Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala. Theme was "Superheroes." Everyone and their brother was there. I've broken the photos down into Good, Bad, and Ugly for your viewing pleasure. The Good — including Victoria Beckham, Christina Ricci, Diane Kruger, Iman, Mischa Barton, Amanda Peet, Scarlett Johansson, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Tilda Swinton and Claire Danes — begins after the jump; the Bad and Ugly to come later.

The Good:
Christy Turlington glows in a red dress in an unexpected silhouette.
Emily Mortimer went a little gladiator for the superhero theme.
Stella McCartney and Kate Moss shine perfectly.
Camilla Belle looks wrapped in clouds.
If I were Christina Ricci, I would never ever ever take this dress off. Ever. It is one of the greatest things I have ever seen. Love. Speechless. Sigh.
Diane Kruger looks a little bit like the Tin Man, but I love that she went for a short dress. Also, love love the shoes.
Iman. Always perfect. What else is new?
Kate Mara! Yellow! Yes! Yes!
Tom Cruise looks weirder than normal, but Katie Holmes looks fantastic, which of course I hate to say. But there's no denying all that red.
Dear Mischa Barton: Strip and give me that dress right now. Kthanxbai.
Please God let my face age like Natasha Richardson's.
Rachel Bilson looks like a total freak and I love. Clearly, she mistook "superheroes" to mean "Morticia Addams."
ScarJo is simultaneously old school and somewhat infantalized in her D&G but she looks hot, so good for her.
I still am not entirely sure who Taylor Swift is, but I like her chainmail-esque dress.
Sorry, you just can't hate on Victoria Beckham.
Emmy Rossum is a head-turner in this black-and-white floral frock.
Claudia Schiffer's dress is downright ethereal. Valentino is downright orange.
Ellen Barkin manages to always play it classy.
Jessica Stam is sorta a bad ass!
Michelle Trachtenberg? Or Liza at Studio 54?
Molly Sims must know my weakness for the color yellow.
Call me a crazy motherfucker, but Wendi Deng looks incredible.
Almost-goth Amanda Peet is fabulous.
Um, I love that Amber Valetta's dress has wings.
I totally heart you and your kick-ass black dress Ashley Olsen.
Can we discuss how awesome it is that Barbara Walters is there with Charlie Rose?
Claire Danes is sorta channeling Angela here, no?
This is seriously the best I have ever seen Fergie look.
Yeah, same for Hilary Duff.
Lake Bell went for it.
Lauren Bush is one class act in royal purple.
Margherita Missoni: Crazy-awesome.
Michelle Monahagan should only ever wear copper. Wow.
Paula Patton: Pretty.
Sofia's shiny drop-waisted number is delightful.
Tilda Swinton? Or Mr. Roboto?
Vera Wang and Karolina Kurkova play their metallics en suite.
Be my flamenco dancer, Ingrid van der Bosch.
Maggie Gyllenhaal knows you gotta go big or go home.
Venus Williams is a beacon of light.
Be still my heart, Zoe Kravitz-as-a-Clara Bow.
Bee Shaffer's dress is phenomenal. But why is Andre Leon Talley relegated to straightening her train?!

Retro Fashion: Marc Jacobs Tells Charlie Rose About His New Job At Louis Vuitton

Slut Machine — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 18:00:00 EST

In the late '90s, Marc Jacobs' star was rising quickly, and LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault decided to take a take a chance on "fashion's bad boy" and hire him as creative director for Louis Vuitton. In this 1998 interview with Charlie Rose, a then 34-year-old Jacobs shares his excitement and anxiety over designing the first ever ready-to-wear collection for Louis Vuitton. It's clear from listening to him talk about it that he was kind of freaking out about such a large undertaking, but 10 years later, he still has the job, and LVMH seems to be pleased as punch with his work.
