Retired at 10? Cindy Crawford's Daughter Steps Away From Modelling, At Least For Now

20110708_kza_kf3_338That's one heck of a gene pool...

Kaia Gerber, daughter of Cindy Crawford, recently made headlines for her modelling debut at the tender age of 10. The Cindy look-alike was hand chosen to front Versace's new line for kids and her mom agreed, stating at the time that she was "so proud of her".  Less than a month later, however, it appears as though we may not see Kaia pose again for some time.

The model mogul told The Daily Front Row that, at this point, her daughter is too young to pursue a career in front of the camera. She does feel as though Kaia was the right choice for the Young Versace shoot, but allowing it may have had more to do with Cindy's relationship with Donatella than a desire to push modelling on her daughter. "I think Donatella thought it would be fun because I had worked with Versace so much in the eighties and nineties," Cindy stated. "She shot with Mert and Marcus, and I thought if she’s ever going to do anything, that’s about as good as it gets."

Celebs I'd Love To See Go Brunette

20120212_kza_km0_176
Few people can bounce from dark to light hair, yet celebs - mostly due to movie roles, I suppose - seem to make the switch all the time. For many, it works out shockingly well. For others, however, not so much.

Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Scarlett Johansson, and Nicole Ritchie are just a few of the blonde celebs who have worn brown well - really well, in fact. But there are a few more names that I would love to add to that list.

Does Rainbow Coloured Hair Expire With Age?

20120129_kza_kb6_313

At what age does brightly coloured hair get old? According to Kelly Osbourne, it's 30. The E! Fashion Police co-host was recently quoted saying, "Once you're 30, you look like a right idiot walking around with rainbow, bright colour hair."

Madonna: The Former Innovator Is Starting To Look A Little Desperate

6097841
A screengrab from the "Give Me All Your Luvin'" music video.

Hot pants, knee high boots, midriff baring top, and a leopard print bra—this might be an apt description for a prime pop star like Rihanna, but rather it describes a woman 30 years her senior: the original Queen of Pop, in her new music video for "Give Me All Your Luvin'", the first single from her upcoming album, MDNA.

It was Madonna's big weekend: first the football-themed music video was released on Friday, the same day as the wide release of her film, W.E., which won her the Golden Globe for best song, and then of course there was the big halftime show at the Super Bowl. Listen, the woman looks good. Really, really good no matter what her age. And that Super Bowl performance was non-stop entertainment. But why does she seem to be the only woman in the 45-55 range who can get away with dressing like a teenager unscathed?

Somehow watching her bop around in a bodysuit in the new music video feels a bit sad to me. In her desperate push to stay relevant, Madonna is pulling out all the stops. There's the vowel-less album name, which…don't get me started, but then there's her scantilly clad style. Rihanna, Gaga, Beyoncé - they don't wear pants, so look - neither will I! (And let's face it, she only covered up for the halftime show to avoid a Janet Jackson-like wardrobe malfunction.)

Is Matching Back In Thanks To Angelina Jolie?

20120115_kza_ka2_1944
The minute Angelina stepped onto the Golden Globes red carpet in a white silk Atelier Versace gown with a cherry red folded collar and matching cherry red lips and clutch, the Twitterverse was convinced that matching is once again chic.

Cameron Diaz's Crazy New Hairdo

Screen shot 2012-01-23 at 2.12.36 PM
There was a lot of chatter on the web about Cameron Diaz looking hot at the Versace Haute Couture show, so like any good celebrity follower, I clicked on the pics to see. Did they forget a word in there? Cause I think she looks a hot mess. Not to be cruel, but honestly I don't get it.

Is Changing Outfits Anna Dello Russo's Full-Time Job?

20111004_zaf_i90_100What's up guys? Do I look expensive enough? Should I change?

Socialite, fashion icon, street style phenom, and oh right, Vogue Japan editor Anna Dello Russo told The New York Times this week that she changes her outfit up to five times a day. I think we can all agree: that's excessive. For Anna, however, fashion is art and so she fittingly refers to these wardrobe flips as "performance".

Was That A Red Carpet Or Amateur Hour? Golden Globes Fashion Fails

As you know, I don't like to be mean, but when it comes to celebrities, I think it's fair game. They have all of the money and the means to look their best all of the time—the sheer unfairness of that makes me think it's okay. Between the stylists, limitless budgets and fashion designer BFFs, there's really no excuse. That's why I'm happy to take this opportunity to call out the major fashion failures from last night's Golden Globes.

Honestly, I didn't think anyone looked great - Salma Hayek, Claire Danes, and Julianna Margulies looked pretty, sure; Michelle Williams' vintage headband might have deserved its own statuette (more on this hot accessory tomorrow), but her velvet dress was reminiscent of Grandma's curtains; which is all to say that no one knocked it out of the park. Therefore I get to be mean. Here goes:

Best David Bowie Impression: Tilda Swinton
She's always daring on the red carpet and high five for that, but this risk reaps no rewards. Straight up - Tilda Swinton looks like David Bowie cross-dressing as the mother-of-the-bride. I mean, baby blue satin…really?

Colin Firth's Wife Takes On The Green Carpet Challenge, Round 3

20110227_kza_kw1_609Livia wearing a sustainable gown at the Oscars last year where her husband accepted the award for best actor.

Awards season goes into full swing this weekend with the Golden Globes (airing Sunday night) and while everyone debates who should and will wear what, you can rest assured that one red carpet vet will be draped in green.

Livia Firth, wife of the Academy's current best actor title holder, Colin Firth, has taken on a green carpet challenge for the third year in a row. The challenge is not literal in colour, but refers to her commitment to wear eco-friendly fabrics throughout her husband's tour de force.

A Wedding Dress For Drew

20110606_zaf_u99_224Drew Barrymore and fiancé Will Kopelman.

There was a buffet of celebrity news over the weekend from Beyoncé and Jay-Z welcoming their baby girl Blue to Sienna Miller announcing that she has a bundle of joy on the way with boyfriend Tom Sturridge. In all of the gossipy goodness, one piece of news was breezed over by many blogs and that is the engagement of Drew Barrymore. The reformed party girl is settling down with her beau of one year Will Kopelman.

Drew's look has changed drastically over her many years in the spotlight, so which side of her side of her style will show up to walk down the aisle? Here are a few friendly suggestions from the Spring 2012 collections.
