Vogue’s newest cover girl!

Monday, February 6th, 2012

Here at LA, we don’t usually like to have a similar topic so close together in our blogs but when it comes to a cover of Vogue we feel like this is one not to be missed!

Lana Del Rey is going to be on the cover of Vogue March looking very Liv Tyler-esque it must be said!

LDR’s unique voice & equally unique style has been putting her at the top of everyone’s list for people to watch this year. “I am many of the thousands of people enraptured by the throaty, seductive voice of Lana Del Rey,” says Alexandra Shulman in her editor’s letter. ”Once I had seen Lana play at a small event in London, I was convinced that she would be a great Vogue cover girl, even though she is probably one of the newest stars in her field that the magazine has ever had on the cover.”

SAG Awards 2012

Monday, January 30th, 2012

With less than a month to go until the 2012 Oscars, Hollywood awards season is in full swing and the stars were out in force for the annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.

A celebration of the best small and big screen stars, the night’s big winner was The Help - a hot tip for the Academy Awards, too – with Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer winning the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress accolades respectively, while co-star Emma Stone dazzled in a black Alexander McQueen prom dress.

Despite edging towards the spring season, black dominated the red carpet, with Angelina Jolie, Stacy Keibler and Amber Heard choosing the neutral hue, while colour came courtesy of Michelle Williams in Valentino red and Emily Blunt, in a vibrant Oscar de la Renta jade gown.

Kate Winslet picked up the Female Actor in a TV Movie or Mini for her performance in Mildred Pierce and despite the Oscar rumours The Artist‘s Jean Dujardin won the Male Actor in a Leading Role ahead of The Descendants George Clooney.

Golden Globes 2012

Monday, January 16th, 2012

Well last night sure was a night to stay parked in front of the t.v, with Hollywood buzzing between the Golden Globes and Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show there was definitely no shortage of glamour on our screens!

There was a ripple of surprise when it was announced that controversial comic Rickey Gervais would be once again hosting the ceremony after his somewhat questionable performance last year. Hollywood was not too impressed with him after insulting pretty much the entire movie industry last year with quite a few tense moments as his sense of humour went down like a lead balloon.

As always the first thing people are already talking about is the fashion on the night, lining up for best dressed we have stars like Guiliana Rancic, Salma Hayek & Kate Winslet who all looked absolutely stunning!
Where we have the good, there is always the bad to go with it. Those tipped for worst dressed this year include Dianna Agron, Sarah Michelle Gellar & Debra Messing. It’s always a shame to see stars who usually have such impeccable style falling flat but hey? Someone has to do it!
Rising star Rooney Mara was top of everyone list for people to look out for this year. After bursting onto our screens with her incredible performance in Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Rooney is quickly becoming Hollywood’s hottest actress.
Angelina Jolie turned heads in this stunning Atelier Versace gown showing off a more feminine side compared to the usual sexy looks that she goes for. Of course with looks like hers & Brad Pitt on your arm who could possible look bad?
Our favourite look of the night? Salma Hayek in Gucci!
Let us know yours!
