Guggenheim + Cate Blanchett

Last Saturday night I went with some friends to a wonderful “one night only” performance of Right You Are (If You Think You Are) held at the grand rotunda of the Guggenheim. The show, a re-staging of the original Luigi Pirandello by celebrated Italian artist Francesco Vezzoli, not only featured a star-studded cast, including Cate Blanchett, Natalie Portman, Peter Sarsgaard, Abigail Breslin and Ellen Burstyn, but drew an audience to match. Mary Kate Olsen, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Lucy Liu, Brook Shields and Uma Thurman all took seats near the stage, while other spectators (many of whom waited for an hour or more to get in the door!) snaked their way up along the museum’s signature spiral ramp.

Though only appearing in the last few pages of the three-act performance, Cate Blanchett certainly proved her star power, captivating the packed house in a Dior Couture outfit. I couldn’t take my eyes off her!

Fendi + The Great Wall

Next level stuff.

Karl Lagerfeld showed his new collection for Fendi at the Great Wall of China. Damn.

I totally lifted these photos from another cool girls blog, a Brooklyn-based PR/Marketing/Writer named Linyee. Check out her other sweet posts on…

Olivier Theyskens brings his European savior faire to La La Land

Olivier wowed the ladies of Beverly Hills with his impeccable design and fashion forward sensibility. The fashion show, produced by Genevieve productions, showcased the Nina Ricci Spring collection. In conjunction with Neiman Marcus and Couture Cares (Revlon/UCLA Breast Center), the ladies were wooed by Olivier’s practical designs with a rock and roll juxtaposition. Olivier felt the limelight of Hollywood: “I feel like a rock star this week, especially, when I’m going from city to city with my entourage and groupies,”

Last night I went to an amazing performance of Dita’s at the Hollywood Palladium. If that wasn’t enough, I also got to see the Silversun Pickups (HUGE fan) as well as The Foo Fighters.

Great turnout all around- check out the people who showed face last night!
