Eva Mendes bares her boobs, sucks her own toes, and strikes both submissive and dominant poses, all in the name of fashion, in the latest issue of Italian Vogue. The pics have set off a firestorm on the Internets, sending traffic through the roof, and some nervous Nellies wondering if Eva has gone off the deep end and ruined her career! At least in this country. In Italy, famous actresses taking it all off and pushing sexual boundaries rarely elicits even a single “Mama mia!”
If this year’s contentious Democratic primaries have taught us anything, it is that like-minded people can still disagree. About health care. About religion. Even about rompers. Today Stylehive editors LisanneBee and BreeBee face off over the one-piece in our inaugural Style Fight. Click READ MORE to see our worthy adversaries duke it out for the sake of style. Who wins? You be the judge!
The senior prom is always a memorable experience, but for Marche Taylor, “memorable” isn’t such a good thing. The Madison High senior was refused admittance into her prom after school officials decided her revealing attire violated school dress codes. Her friends even tried to wrap the more modest part of her dress around her to make it more appropriate, but she still was not allowed to enter the ballroom. She demanded her money back, and at one point, police were called and the teen was escorted out with some shiny new jewelry: a pair of handcuffs. At least she accessorized!

It’s a good thing last night’s episode of Gossip Girl was so explosive. Had my heart not still been racing from all the drama they packed into that one little hour- a breakup, a breakdown, a startling revelation, a web of lies - I may have lapsed into a coma during the snoozefest also known as the Hills finale. To match the banality were the equally bland ensembles worn by the cast to the finale party. Lauren wore a black strapless dress (yawn), Whitney wore a slightly funkier version of the dress Lauren was wearing (smaller yawn), and Audrina kept it safe and predictable in a green minidress (major yawn). While we can usually count on Heidi to shock us with her skimpy barely there ensembles, the aspiring singer was just that - barely there. I’m torn as to what was more disappointing, the lacking episode, or the lackluster ensembles.
At the London premiere for the most anticipated movie in the history of the world, Sex and the City (obviously!), star Sarah Jessica Parker made a splash, to say the least, dazzling the crowd with her ultra-fabulous, head-turning, avant-garde style. The pale green chiffon dress by Alexander McQueen was impeccably crafted and looked beyond stunning on the svelte star, the Fred Leighton diamond jewels- including a 1930’s diamond corsage bracelet with over 75 carats, European-cut diamond drop earrings (7.5 carats each!), and a delicate 19th Century diamond cluster ring- were simply out of this world . However, none of this could compare to the larger than life peacock feather hat by Philip Treacy perched atop SJP’S blonde head. Complete with green roses and yellow butterflies, this interesting confection managed to get people talking and leave them speechless at the same time.
It seems like only yesterday she and her twin sis were dodging the secret service to hit up the bars for some alleged underage drinking. Now first daughter Jenna Bush is all grown up and generating some positive buzz with her white wedding! The 26-year old former party girl got married this weekend in a private ceremony on the family ranch in Texas. Bridesmaids and sister Barbara wore custom Lela Rose gowns in crinkle-silk chiffon backed with cotton voiles in seven colors based on Texas wildflowers. But the bride kept it simple and elegant in a long beaded custom-made gown by Oscar de la Renta, a favorite of first lady Laura Bush.

Stylehive is not a competition. It’s a community, where you get to express your individual style, and check out others’ favorite stuff for new style inspiration. That said, we do have some REALLY popular Stylehivers - you can tell by how many new followers each gets each week. And this week, our Most Popular 3 include our own Honeybee and BreeBee (our San Francisco and New York style editors) and AuntBee, one of our most active and coolest members since Stylehive hit the scene. I thought it would be fun to compare their recent bookmarks and see whose style YOU like the most!
Stylehive members add hundreds of shoes to the Hive every day, and today, these three heavenly heels have risen to the top of the crop. It must be getting close to the weekend, because all three - from Chanel, Sergio Rossi, and Prada - are made for stepping out in style. But only one shoe can be named Top Sexy Stilt!
I just completed a rite of male passage - I built a deck with my dad. And we’re still on speaking terms! But now all I think about is putting furniture on it. And then lounging on said furniture. Furniture that’s not the crappy plastic garden chairs I’ve had since 2002 that just will not die. So, I am turning to my Stylehive friends to help me pick the new look for my new deck. Here are three looks I’m into at the moment.
TomKat, tofurkey, skorts, mullets...these are all examples of hybrids gone wrong. Just like high heels and sneakers. They’re like oil and water - they just don’t mix. For some reason, they seem to be making a comeback in creations from L.A.M.B., Sketchers, Steve Madden, Ash, and even Pierre Hardy. Sneakers are meant to be comfortable and not heinously high. Rubber soles + laces + high tops + heels/wedges = tacky. We need to stick with combinations that work. Like KFC/Taco Bell. Oh yeah, baby. That’s what’s up.
What do you do when your first fashion collection gets slammed as hooker-wear that, according to New York Magazine, “No self-respecting grown woman should allow herself to be seen in”? Well if you’re Heidi Montag, you flaunt it! The Hills star stepped out launch party for the Scarlet HD TV Series the other night (arch nemesis LC was also there, as was her former nemesis from the Laguna days, Kristin Cavallari- drama, drama, drama!), in skin tight jeans, a sheer top, and glaringly loud red bra. On the one hand, you gotta give her credit for doing what it takes to get some attention. On the other, you gotta wonder what in the world was she thinking!
Who needs seaweed, primrose oil, or different kind of fruits when you can have feces on your face! New York Magazine recently came out with an article introducing the “Geisha Facial” available at Shizuka New York, a high-end Japanese spa in New York. This special facial uses all natural ingredients in addition to the “uguisu no fun” (sterilized nightingale droppings), which back in the day, 18th century geishas and kabuki actors used to clean heavy white makeup off their faces. In the modern day, Shizuka’s poop apparently “makes the porcelain beauty of this Japanese icon accessible to the everyday person.” At $180 for a 50-minute treatment, all I gotta say is “Holy crap!”
There’s a new hot mama in town and she’s definitely giving other hot mamas like Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow a run for their money. I think you might know her- it’s the impossibly flawless, age-defying (she’s 41!!) Halle Berry. The Oscar winner stepped out at the Silver Rose Gala and Auction Sunday night flaunting her new post-pregnancy assets in a daring v-cut leopard print dress. Animal print is one of those controversial trends that will never fully disappear despite having a bevy of staunch opponents. On the one hand, the look can be sexy and funky if executed properly,however, it’s a very slippery slope and crossing over into ‘trashy’ territory is a little too easy with this style.
What do YOU think?
Fringe is back, baby, and not all of it is in the style of classic, vintage Clara Bow, but more in style of David Bowie‘s Ziggy Stardust procreates with Judas Priest at the rodeo. It’s a fringe festival in the fashion neighborhood, with Prada, Fendi, and Roberto Cavalli at the forefront of it all. On the runways, bags, shoes, boots, even stockings...I’m sure there’s a way to rock it, but in general it seems like it just makes expensive things look cheap. There are no fringe benefits in my book.
There must be something in the water in Hollywood. Seriously, can a guy and girl even look at each other in that town without it resulting in pregnancy?? Hot on the heels of the announcement of their engagement came the not-so-shocking announcement that Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz are (allegedly) HAVING A BABY! Ashlee has been through her fair share of fashion phases. Maternity-chic, however, is unchartered territory for the songstress with a constant need to update her look. Pregnancy style is super important in Hollywood, if you let yourself go during this time, you might never be able to get yourself back (case in point: Britney!). Tons of celebs have made it through the perils of pregnancy without letting it effect their style or hotness in any which way, so Ash won’t have to look far for inspiration to help her get it right.
