Who Cares: It's Only Fashion...

Ok, ok, yet another long absence, yet another long list of excuses, none of which I'll bore you with. Instead, I'll just offer you a showdown of epic proportions to make amends. A fashion face-off between Angelina and Jen is like the eternal struggle between good and evil, Darth Vader/Luke Skywalker, Jack/Locke, Danny Zuko and that dude he races in Thunder Road, Brenda and Kelly if you will. The former and current Mrs. Pitts both premiered movies on the same day this week. Angie with Salt in London and Jen with The Switch in LALA land. While Saint Angelina went for flowy, ethereal goddess - a very big change for the generally black clad Jolie - in silver Amanda Wakeley; girl next door Jen was showing off her  yoga'd physique in a two toned Lanvin.

Jen plays it nice and safe as per usual, going for universally flattering shapes and neutral tones - not to say the dress isn't lovely, she just looks like usual straight haired Rachel Greene. Like I said, playing it safe, she looks nice but nothing special.

Angie is for once channeling angelic sainthood. Now don't get me wrong, I love dominatrix Angie as much as the next gal, but seeing her looking so mother earth-like is just appropriate isn't it? A few gripes: Unlike Jen's figure hugging number, Angelina's is a big shapeless glittery sack. Not that I don't love that, but i wish it had been better tailored for her figure. Also, and this has been bothering me for months, there's something about that hair which is making me completely nuts - I think it might be how the bangs curl just slightly under, very 1980s, very old ladyish. Then again, where Jen sticks with her modern signature sleek do, Angelina always likes to do something that looks sophisticated, for a 70 year old. Get a straightening iron girl.

What do you guys think? Team Jolie or Team Aniston? Eh, at least Brad has a type - a slightly boring red carpet walker. Sidenote, I really want to see The Switch, well just because I have an eternal love of Michael Blooth.

Imagine my shock and awe when I came across this pic of the lovely Kate Bosworth walking around NYC last week. Not only have I been way too obsessed with the oversized "boyfriend" button down trend lately and was happy to see I'm not the only one, but Kate's wearing the EXACT same shirt I had worn a week earlier in an attempt to perfect this trend for a dinner out with my most favorite ex co-workers. Somehow I managed to wear the same item as one of the undeniably best dressed celebs out there even before she wore it!

Let's just start off by acknowledging the cool factor of our (mine and Kate's obv) mutual Topshop shirt.

Needless to say I didn't come anywhere near close to Kate's chicness with this look. First off her blonde hair did more for the taupe color than my very dark curly hair. Second of all she paired it with skinny jeans which kept it lighter, while I paired it with black skinny pants and a fair isle sweater (it was one of those unexpectedly cold days we've had in NYC lately).

First Camilla Belle, now this. My celebrity dressing 6th sense is really on a roll.

Get mine and Kate's look after the jump. more, more, more...

Nothing like a smidgen of celebrity street style to get our Spring/Summer juices flowing. Earlier today, Kate Bosworth, poster girl of the oh so casually cool movement, joined the legions of lovely ladies (god I love alliteration) sporting J Brand's 'Houlihan' skinny cargos on the NYC streets. Kate kept her trademark California girl cool in a tie dye Proenza Schouler tank, aviators and that "I just stepped out of the shower so my hair is still wet but I look better than you do after 2 hours at the salon" bun. Ok maybe all of that wasn't going through her head, but she still managed to look effortlessly chic as always.

These are apparently THE pants to covet for the summer, and the sight of Ms. Bosworth in them only makes them that more fantastic. If you're into that whole "I wear the genuine article no matter the cost" thing, rush over to singer22.com for your pair of the season's hottest pants.

Need further proof that the J Brand Houlihan skinny cargos are the IT pants of summer 2010? Read on...

So apparently my announcement that the Tribeca Film Festival was without fashion was a bit premature. Last night's The Killer Inside Me premiere had me eating my words and saying apologies.

Dear Jessica Alba,

My apologies for ever doubting how positively stunning you are. See, all it took was long flowing locks (those are the most real looking extensions I ever did see), naturally glowing makeup and a beyond lovely Chloe hippie girl dress to make me a believer again. This is your best hair to date. You've peaked my interest yet again.

Now on to Kate Hudson. See my advice to Jess Alba and follow it. What's with the Mad Men hair? Too frumpy makeup and logoed poncho? Remember when you were lauded for your natural beauty and bohemian style. Let's try to get back to that shall we? Think Penny Lane...

Fantastic or dubious, either way after a week of blah fashions up and down the red carpet, we finally have something to work with.

The Tribeca Film Festival fashions have proven pretty lackluster so far this year. So lackluster in fact that Kiki Dunst managed to grab the spotlight at the usually rather fashion forward week. Looking lovely in a floral Nina Ricci frock, Dunst ushered in Spring (no we promise, Spring's on its way) with an oh so fun / drop waisted 20's feeling. Like Gwyneth before her, she paired her light colored dress with a severe black shoe - in this case a pointy toed pump.

We would have preferred something along the lines of Chloe Sevigny's buckled wedges for Opening Ceremony in a neutral beige. Wouldn't that have just made this look over the top fantastic? Either way Kiks hasn't looked this good since Bring It On. Oh, it's already been broughten...
