Gwyneth Paltrow Praises Met Gala in Goop a Week After Bashing It

Sunday, May 19th, 2013

Oh, never mind! Gwyneth Paltrow — who very publicly dissed the May 6 Met Gala, telling USA Today, “I’m never going again” — has devoted her latest issue of goop to, yes, the Met Gala.

“The Met Ball, at NYC’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, is always the year’s most elaborate display of incredible fashion and this year was no different,” the actress writes. She then goes on to describe in detail just how her custom fuchsia Valentino Haute Couture dress, featuring a sheer panel just above the chest, was created. (For the record, it took two fittings plus last-minute, day-of alterations to get just the right look.)

PHOTOS: See all the dresses from the Met Gala!

Her stylist Elizabeth Saltzman also chimes in to explain her rationale behind the dress selection: “In thinking about what Gwyneth could wear, I didn’t want her to show up in a costume. So this look is all about anarchy — truly going against the grain and not wearing what everyone expects. That’s about as punk as you can get.”

In a post-Met Gala interview with Australian radio hosts Kyle and Jackie O, Paltrow, 40, complained about the event’s dress code: “I think we’re all a bit old to dress up punk,” she said by way of explaining her more conservative attire. “I just went as kind of normal.” (Her former bestie, Madonna, 54, on the other hand, went all-out in a racy fishnet body stocking, a studded jacket, and hot pink pumps.)

In the latest goop issue, the Oscar-winning actress also shares her favorite looks from the night, and true to her word, none were costume-y. Paltrow picked Carey Mulligan, in a black Balenciaga cutout dress, model Cara Delevigne, in a black Burberry gown with plunging neckline, and Miranda Kerr, in a revealing Michael Kors cutout number, as best-dressed.

The former Gossip Girl star spoke candidly about her transition from television to rock music in the May issue of Nylon Singapore. “There’s no acting, no character; this isn’t Broadway. It’s a rock band,” she said The Pretty Reckless, which is currently working on a follow-up album to 2010′s Light Me Up.

Momsen, who played high school wannabe Jenny Humphrey for four seasons, made a guest appearance in Gossip Girl‘s series finale in December 2012. Aside from that, she has no plans to ever return to the small screen.

“Acting is a weird thing to me,” she told the magazine. “Saying someone else’s words has always been a slightly torturous event.”

Emma Watson Wears Clingy White Dress at Airport in France

Thursday, May 16th, 2013

This time, no one would would have mistaken Emma Watson, walking through Nice Airport in France on May 14, as a child. The Perks of Being a Wallflower actress, who was assumed to be an unaccompanied minor this past December while going through customs at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, rocked a sexy, mature look for her travel day this time around.

PHOTOS: Emma Watson’s Harry Potter premiere style evolution

Clad in a tight, white skater dress by A.L.C. and slim ankle boots, a sunglasses-wearing Watson looked like the stylish movie star she is. In fact, the 23-year-old actress was on her way to the famously glamorous Cannes Film Festival, which kicks off Wednesday, to promote her new film, The Bling Ring, directed by Sofia Coppola.

PHOTOS: Harry Potter stars — then and now

The petite actress, perhaps most well-known for playing prim and proper Hermione over the course of eight Harry Potter movies, has been tweaking her squeaky-clean image of late. In The Bling Ring, based on a real-life gang of celebrity-obsessed teen thieves, Watson gets to play a bad girl, and on the cover of British GQ‘s cover this month, she wears a provocative cutout dress similar to the one Julia Roberts donned for her role as a hooker in Pretty Woman.

Indeed, Watson’s grown-up, sexy-minimalist style was also on display at the Met Costume Institute Gala earlier this month as well. The British beauty looked amazing in a midriff-baring Prabal Gurung cutout dress with a thigh-high slit.

On Sunday, the busy mom showed off a gift she received from 4-year-old son Bronx for Mother’s Day on Twitter. The single star, who split from Boardwalk Empire actor Vincent Piazza in November 2012, posted a picture of a beautiful bouquet of flowers that included the note, “Happy Mother’s Day! Love always, Bronx.”

Perhaps her ex-husband, Pete Wentz, helped their son send the gift? The 33-year-old Fall Out Boy bassist recently praised Simpson for her mothering skills.

PHOTOS: Ashlee & Pete — the way they were

“I feel like we both realize that we’re parents and we’re in it for our kid. That’s made it really easy,” Wentz said on an Apr. 15 episode of Watch What Happens Live. “I feel like, as a mom, she’s awesome. She’s an awesome mom and we get along really well when it comes to our kid now.”

Mindy Kaling on Her Jewelry Obsession: “It Takes Me 30 Minutes to Get Through Airport Security”

Tuesday, May 14th, 2013

The Office‘s Mindy Kaling keeps her closet stocked with wardrobe basics from tried-and-true brands like Top Shop, Madewell and Club Monaco, but when it comes to accessories, the actress isn’t afraid to go all out and add a lot of extra sparkle. “I like jewelry that’s big. I like conspicuous jewelry!” Kaling tells Us Weekly of her M.O. on accessories. “For the most part, I like for my jewelry to make me feel dainty — not the other way around.”

PHOTOS: Celebs’ favorite red carpet ensembles

As the actress explains, her collection of baubles is so impressive that it often attracts extra attention. “At the airport, it takes me 30 minutes to get through security with all of my jewelry,” jokes the star, 33. One of Kaling’s favorite pieces in her collection is a vintage rose gold 1968 Rolex oyster watch. “It’s so decadent and gorgeous,” Kaling — also a fan of jewelry designers Jennifer Meyer and Vita Fede — tells Us. “I love mens watches because they fit loosely like a bracelet.”

VIDEO: Costume jewelry shopping tips

Kaling tells Us her style off-screen is based on ease of wear. “I have an overtly ‘new money’ aesthetic — I am the child of immigrants after all!” admits Massachusetts native Kaling. “But mixed with a healthy dose of Anne of Green Gables. That was my favorite show growing up. I love color, rhinestones, patterns, but I also love the overtly buttoned-up, long sleeved, layered feminine look of women from the turn of the century.”

PHOTOS: Stars who love retro fashion

Sums up Kaling, who calls Gwen Stefani and Chloe Sevigny her style icons: “I love fashion and and I have fun with it. Honestly I could talk about it all day!”

The season finale of The Mindy Project airs Tuesday, May 14 at 9:30 p.m. (EST) on FOX.

Kate Middleton Recycles Polka Dot Topshop Dress for Friends’ Wedding

Monday, May 13th, 2013

Kate Middleton really, really loves her polka dot Topshop dress, Ralph Lauren blazer and Episode “Angel” pumps. After wearing the ensemble during a Warner Bros. Studios tour in late April, the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge wore the same look for her friends’ wedding in England on May 11. She did change things up slightly, however, as she donned a new fascinator.

PHOTOS: Kate Middleton’s growing baby bump

The first-time mom-to-be and her husband, Prince William, were seen driving in a Renault Clio en route to Ewelme, a small town in South Oxfordshire. They watched with glee as William van Cutsem and Rosie Ruck Keen tied the knot. The bride and groom’s ceremony took place in the Ewelme Parish Church, which dates as far back as the 15th century.

PHOTOS: Royal pregnancies

Middleton, 31, has been friends with the van Cutsem family for years. She attended Rose Astor‘s wedding to Hugh van Cutsem in 2005, and six years later, their daughter Grace served as one of Middleton’s flower girls during the royal wedding.

Prince Harry, meanwhile, recently began his tour of the United States. Since his arrival on May 9, he has spent time with Vice President Joe Biden, First Lady Michelle Obama and Olympic gold medalist Missy Franklin. The 28-year-old royal has also met with wounded war veterans while making pitstops in Washington, D.C. and Denver.
