Hasta La Ideas

‘The only way to be perfect, is to allow chaos and madness into your life. Natalie has very few opportunities to express the dangerous side of her, and there’s a lot of colors there. She teases; she’s playful and sexy and so beautiful it hurts.’ – Director Darren Aronofsky on Natalie Portman€™s portrayal of Nina in Black Swan.

The elegant star graces the cover of the latest Vogue, is critically acclaimed in one of the hottest movies of the moment and we can’t get enough of her! Click to see the full interview and video of Natalie Portman from our friends at Couture in the City!

In a sneak peek at the visuals shot by Nick Knight and styled by Nicola Formichetti, Gaga is dripping in diamonds and pearls, as well as, painted in a glammed-out smokey eye that contrasts nude lips and platinum blonde locks.

‘The beauty of using rock stars … is that women of all ages listen to stars in a way they won’t listen to the surgeon general’, MAC AIDS Fund Executive Director Nancy Mahon told StyleList.

This past year, Gaga joined 80s music icon Cyndi Lauper in a frilly and fun coral lip campaign to rake in the most amount of money the lipstick series has ever made – over $32 million.

Cumulatively, MAC’s efforts have raised more than $190 million since it began the MAC AIDS Fund, which looks to spread awareness and blast stigmas surrounding the disease, as well as, provide help and resources for patients suffering from the fatal strain. In order for a vendor to sell the highly sought-after MAC line of products, Mahon says the store must be on board with selling the Viva Glam products – which benefit the MAC AIDS Fund in their entirety.

‘Retail partners like Macy’s, Nordstrom and Selfridges in London all give their margin back to us, so nothing is taken out of that $14.50 you pay for a Viva Glam lipstick. We owe a lot of our success to their generosity as well’, said Mahon.

Gaga will be going it alone for the 2011 campaign, and we’re dying to see what else the eccentric singer will flaunt in the photos. Will it be more heel-less shoes, a hair dress, or gravity-defying hat?

We wait with baited breath …

The hotly anticipated capsule collection by Justin Timberlake and Trace Ayala hits stores on Dec. 19 and is packed full of great jeans, jackets and leather outerwear – a big gift-giving item (as if you didn’t know by now).

The William Rast for Target collection includes jeans in skinny, boot-cut and straight-leg silhouettes, leggings and skirts. In addition, there are the uber-trendy military-inspired and plaid woven shirts, and the best part: the outerwear pieces made mainly in leather. There’s a motorcycle jacket, a cool tuxedo jacket and an amazing fringed jacket that combines William Rast’s signature tomboy fashion with feminine tailoring.

‘We’re excited to offer William Rast for Target just in time for the holidays’, Trish Adams, Target’s senior vice president, said in a statement, ‘providing women and men with one of the most exciting brands in denim at a great price.’

The items in this collection for men and women are a steal, ranging in price from $16.99 to $199.99 (regular William Rast sells for $50 to $700). Plan on hitting Target early because this collection will only be available through Jan. 22, 2011.

Angie Harmon looked like a sweet dream in a frothy lace skirt and fitted top. Paired with matching heels and a knotted belt, she kept her look simple and elegant. Even more popular was Ashlee Simpson, with her new short pixie cut ready to show of head-turning statement drop earrings.

But the loud and clear favorite with 50% of the votes was songtress and trend-setter, Rihanna. Her bold red skirt and grey corset combo was made more playful with an oversized bow hair accessory and simple jewelry. Rihanna’s look is youthful, spunky and full of sex appeal!
