It’s a yearly honoring of Hollywood’s fairer sex, and last night ELLE Magazine held the 15th annual “Women in Hollywood” Tribute at the Four Seasons Hotel.
When Nicole Kidman showed up on the white carpet, everyone took notice of her fabulous belted green shimmery dress and pink open-toed heels. The “Moulin Rouge” is the November cover girl for ELLE.
When it comes to getting paparazzi attention, Elizabeth Hurley knows what she’s doing. And last night she was the belle of the ball at the Asian Women of Achievement ceremony.
The “Austin Powers” hottie was spotted leaving her London home, looking stunning in a purple floor-length gown with a plunging neckline that had every guy within a 1-mile radius drooling.
The Wall Street Journal launched a new section on its website today, Journal Women. It's a separate but equal page for ladies—just like synagogue. Yet, according to the lead article in their new section, the separation may not be necessary: "Conventional wisdom says women and men want different things out of their jobs. But a new study says that's not true — women want the same things as men, they just don't get them." But here's an article on high heels—did we know? They're a total bitch to commute in. The following excerpt on this topic leads me to believe... boy, maybe we do need our very special, remedial section of the Journal.
Selecting just-right shoes for the day is a Juggle taxer for women... Like most New Yorkers, I spend a decent chunk of time on the pavement getting where I need to go. So as I ponder each morning what to wear, I try to factor in how much walking I'll need to do. Not much, and I can pull off the skirt with heels. A lot, and maybe I'll go with slacks with more-comfortable shoes. Problem is, you can't always predict.The sad fact of the matter is: looking good, for women, almost always includes an element of physical pain. It's because Eve gave Adam the apple.As for getting to work, I wear "function" shoes in transit, and switch to "form" once I arrive. But there are complications. If I need to get around town, there's the stress of deciding whether to stay in the office shoes or switch and tote. And where to make the switch out of the sneaks? Sidewalk? Ladies room? Subway?
Sure, summer can be easier. A gladiator sandal or ballet flat (are those still in style?) can be both sleek and comfortable. But they still might not deliver needed support on city streets.
It’s an honor many women hope to achieve, and this year Megan Fox was awarded the title of FHM magazine’s Sexiest Woman in the World after nearly 9 million votes were cast.
The “Transformers” hottie (who is dating 90210 stud Brian Austin Green) reached the summit of the list relatively early (she’s only 21), after coming in at #68 in 2006, and #65 last year.
When it comes to all the pomp and circumstance in Hollywood, Uma Thurman usually tries to steer clear. But at the Wings Worldquest 2008 Women of Discovery Awards Gala last night, she was front row and center.
The “Kill Bill” babe pulled off a conservative-yet-sexy look that kept the flashbulbs flashing, sporting a black pants suit with a little hint of cleavage beneath her beaded necklace.
Remember Laura Bennett from last season of Project Runway? She was flip and sometimes great and sometimes horrible and always pregnant? Now she has a comic strip on iVillage called "Case Clothed." A funny title unless you, like me, have a lisp in which case people are too polite to ask whether you're making a pun or if you have a problem with sibilants. Anyway, Bennett answers all your fashion questions with responses that only make sense if you are as loaded as she is! Which you probably are if you're married to a quirky architect who apparently loves to impregnate you.
Case Clothed [iVillage]
The Lincoln Center in New York City was definitely the place to be last night. Glamour’s Women of the Year 2007 was in the house, and some big names showed up for the festivities.
Abigail Breslin was named the first ever Girl of the Year. She’s been a huge hit ever since “Little Miss Sunshine” made its way into theaters. And with the success of “No Reservations,” Breslin is on her way to a serious career in film.
If you’re the proud owner of two “X” chromosomes, you’ll be happy to know that Elle Magazine was, once again, paying tribute to the fairer sex with their annual “Women in Hollywood” celebration last night.
And it was a who’s who of leading ladies, along with a legendary director. Those women being honored were director Julie Taymor ("Across the Universe"), and actors Lauren Bacall, Diane Lane ("Unfaithful"), Kate Bosworth ("Superman Returns"), Jennifer Connelly ("A Beautiful Mind"), Amy Adams ("Junebug") and Scarlett Johansson ("Lost in Translation").
