Gwyneth Paltrow (pictured) was honored at the fifth annual Can-Do Awards dinner given by Food Bank For New York City. She told a reporter, "I grew up in this city, and I worked in soup kitchens throughout high school, so being back here is like a full circle. I'm just thrilled to be here and to help in any way I can." Yeah, yeah, but what about the outfits? Gwynnie looked divine in a graphic patterned wrap dress, and Helena Christensen — who was also honored — looked gorgeous in a sugary pink dress. But not every star was good enough to eat. Stanley Tucci, Lorraine Bracco, Christy Turlington, Petra Nemcova, Rachael Ray and more in the Good, the Bad and the Ugly, after the jump. More »

Fashion Rocks: The 2008 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
Last night in New York, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted its latest members — and Madonna officially became a legend, bitches! But some of our other all-time favorite musicians were there last night, as both honorees and performers: Iggy Pop, Patti LaBelle, Leonard Cohen, John Mellencamp, Lou Reed, Joan Jett, Ben Harper — seriously, this is like half of my iTunes, no joke. Hollywooders — Tom Hanks, Chevy Chase, Michael J. Fox, Ed Burns — were also there, and on the whole, everyone rocked the red carpet. Except for Madonna. (Oy.)

Naomi Campbell Is Still Mad That Ethnic Models Aren't Working
- "Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington would go to big designers and say: 'If you don't want Naomi to be in your show, then I don't want to be in it'...Women of colour are not a trend...That's the bottom line." — Naomi Campbell, still fighting for the cause of models of color. [Vogue UK]
- Speaking of women of color: Liya Kebede is looking to diversify! The model will be launching a children's clothing line made in Ethiopia but sold in the United States. [Chic Report]

amFAR Fashion Week Gala Is The Stuff Nightmares Are Made Of
Last night in New York, French Vogue editor-in-chief Carine Roitfeld was honored alongside Julian Schnabel and Bobby Shriver by amFAR for "their vital and distinctive contributions to the global struggle against AIDS." It being the eve of New York Fashion Week, we totally expected the attendees at the gala to make an effort with their outfits — plus, they were going to be in the presence of La Roitfeld herself! But let's just say that Natasha Richardson, above, was the only highlight of the evening, and that we're pretty sure we're going to be having nightmares about most of the dresses on display. (Jesus, even Christy Turlington dropped the ball!) The full good, bad, and ugly, after the jump. More »

Chanel's "Night Of Diamonds": Pretty Lovely, Despite Ellen Pompeo
The Chanel Night of Diamonds dinner held last night at The Plaza Hotel in New York (which, btw, is no longer a hotel, but a bunch of really expensive condos) was yet another excuse for Chanel to toot its own horn. Seriously, is there any other way to rationalize a black-tie dinner in honor of a jewelry collection? One thing's for sure, we're damn thankful that the stars who turned out for the event know how to dress themselves! (Sure - they didn't really dress themselves — most all of them were in loaners handpicked by Chanel PR, but who has time to nitpick when there's an opportunity to drool over the gown modeled by Gossip Girl star Blake Lively. [Moe disagrees, saying "it looks like Nightmare On Goth Prom Street". -Ed.]) Then, of course, there was Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo. Seriously, we haven't seen a red carpet disaster this bad in ages. See for yourself with the full good, bad, and ugly, after the jump. More »

Tyson Beckford Played A Pivotal Role In Fashion History
- Tomorrow night the new Bravo show Make Me A Supermodel premieres. It's hosted by Niki Taylor and Tyson Beckford, the latter of whom is um not exactly humble:"I used to shut the malls down. I was ahead of my time. I made the model a celebrity. It wasn't the celebrity that made the model but the model that made the celebrity. I used to pack kids into a mall and that's the frenzy I want to create with this show." Um, we were kind of more excited about Niki? [Fashion Week Daily]
- Seriously, we can't tell Penelope Cruz apart from her sister Monica in their new ads for Mango. But whatever, they both look fucking gorgeous. [Daily Mail]

Marc Jacobs: Starting His Show Two Hours Earlier Next Year*
- You may not recall this inconsequential blip on the screen of recent fashion history, but chronically-late designer Marc Jacobs showed up more than two hours late for his September New York fashion show, and a handful of people were annoyed, and so now Marc has apparently thought up a solution: taking an earlier slot next Fashion Week , when the Marc Jacobs show is slated to begin at 7 p.m. [WWD, 1st item]
- Meanwhile, Marc Jacobs on the holidays: "I'm not really a Hanukkah person and I'm only a part-time Christmas person. We try to have a non-denominational holiday window every year." [WWD, 1st item]
- Isaac Mizrahi, though, loves the Hanukkah! "My boyfriend got a Jack Russell-Beagle mix named Deano over the summer and he's very difficult to find presents for. So for Hanukkah I'll be getting Deano a Kosher bone, a Star of David sweater and a Dreidel chew toy." [WWD, 2nd item]
*Yeah, wink wink. Somehow we're guessing it really doesn't begin till 9:30, but Marc had to read it in the trades before he'd believe they'd actually changed the slot on him. More »
