For the cover of AnOther Magazine’s Fall 2012 issue, actress Carey Mulligan has quite literally been photographed by Craig McDean within a giant plastic bubble. Styled […] Read more Keira Knightley is a Knockout in Chanel at the World Premiere of Anna Karenina (Forum Buzz)Keira Knightley might be a bit camera-shy in her private life, but she really knows how to turn it on for the red carpet, and if her most recent appearance is any indication, the press tour for Anna Karenina will be fun to watch. Keira showed up to the worldwide premiere of the film in London […] Read more The Latest in Designer Musical Chairs: Stefano Pilati Lands at Zegna (Forum Buzz)In the latest round of Designer Musical Chairs, with Raf Simons leaving Jil Sander to take the helm at Christian Dior post Galliano-gate, and Hedi Slimane taking over Yves Saint Laurent (which he promptly changed to Saint Laurent Paris), only the ousted Stefano Pilati seemed left standing with no chair to fill. It seems at […] Read more Gwen Stefani Gives Us the Blues on the Cover of Elle UK’s October Issue (Forum Buzz)Gwen Stefani herself looks good (as usual) on the cover of Elle UK’s October issue as photographed by Matt Irwin, but according to forum members, there are a few too many coincidences with last month’s September issue featuring Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. “In terms of first impressions, it doesn't really seem that different from the previous cover […] Read more Naomi Watts and Kate Hudson Get Nude in Venice (Forum Buzz)Naomi Watts and Kate Hudson attended the premiere of The Reluctant Fundamentalist and the Opening Ceremony of the 69th Venice International Film Festival wearing nude toned gowns with varying degrees of success.

On paper, it […] Read more Elizabeth Olsen Covers Bullett’s Romance Issue (Forum Buzz)Elizabeth Olsen covers Bullett Magazine’s Fall 2012 “Romance Issue” as some sort of pastel/cotton candy ice queen in a feature shot by photographer Jeff Bark.

Shot by Steven Meisel, as usual, Carolyn Murphy portrays a multifaceted woman (look close and you’ll see she actually appears twice) among a bevy of masked women. “I've always had a weird affection […] Read more Katy Perry Goes Red for L’Officiel’s September Issue (Forum Buzz)Katy Perry claimed on the cover of Elle’s September issue that she couldn’t “be the candy queen forever,” so is she finally attempting to show us that? Her cover for L’Officiel Paris’s September issue is decidedly un-candy-like (unless she’s moving into the orange sherbet, circus peanuts, or taffy category) and Katy looks almost unrecognizable as […] Read more A Glimpse of Maison Martin Margiela for H&M (Forum Buzz)Forum members have been anxiously waiting for weeks (or months, really since the collaboration was announced in June) for a look at the Maison Martin Margiela collection for H&M. Finally, this weekend, a scan from French Elle afforded the first preview, showing a red draped dress with a flowing asymmetrical hem. “I want this,” chloesaab […] Read moreFashion Insiders Make Forbes’ 100 Most Powerful Women ListForbes has officially released its 100 most powerful women list for 2012, including several international fashion industry insiders.

She's had fans in the Fashion Spot forums long before her noteworthy appearance on the April 2012 issue of Dazed & Confused, and their devotion is still going strong. The […] Read more Jamie Bochert Also Gets Pop’s Disappearing Limb Treatment (Forum Buzz)Sui He wasn’t the only one who received Pop’s disappearing limb treatment for its Fall 2012 issue; Jamie Bochert also lost her arms (and the majority of her torso), and it turns out that the lack of limbs thing kind of suits her. Where Sui He’s cover is soft and floaty with clouds and silky fabric, […] Read more Stylology 101: Cool Class Lands at The Drake General Store in TorontoEven if heading back to school is just a sentimental memory, embrace the prep that pervades the run-up to September and take a look at the wares on offer at The Drake General Store.

Kidman clearly enjoys being a chameleon and takes pride in the transformations she’s willing to go through for a role, but this one […] Read more Pop Magazine Thinks Limbs are Overrated (Forum Buzz)Pop is one of those magazines that marches to the beat of its own drum, and that’s the way we like it.

Sui He’s lower half also seems to be […] Read more Carmen Kass Brings Vogue Mexico’s September Issue to Another Level (Forum Buzz)It’s always great when Carmen Kass lands a magazine cover, because when she’s given the opportunity she really knows how to turn it on and remind us of how awesome she is.
