Reproductions of the four original Black Swan costume sketches, designed by Amy Westcott (and created by Rodarte), are on sale now, from this Sunday, February 27 through Tuesday,... 

The 82nd annual Academy Awards aired last night and now that all the awards have been given out (special congrats to Mo’Nique and Katherine Bigelow!), it’s time to focus on the fashion winners and losers. On the red carpet there was the usual array of flowy, beaded gowns but a few were great hits and as usual there were some major losers. Check out our top 8 best and worst in Oscar’s...

Though most attendees played it ‘safe’ with their Academy Awards dresses, a few spiced up the carpet with colorful jewel toned gowns. A pregnant Jessica Alba wore a plum-colored strapless Marchesa empire-waisted gown that concealed her baby bump. Access Hollywwod host Shaun Robinson chose an emerald colored satin gown. Kelly Preston’s orange-gold strapless Roberto Cavalli gown accented...

Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus looked age-appropriate in a full-length red Valentino gown. Heidi Klum rocked a risky, voluminous gown designed by John Galliano, which will be auctioned as part of the Heart Truth campaign. Anne Hathaway combined another red...
