Over the past decade at the helm, John Galliano—with his ultra-feminine style and provocative showmanship as tools—has invigorated the Christian Dior label to be the jewel of the Bernard Arnault’s LVMH fashion powerhouse, but after a brush with bigotry that was publicized to the point of mortification, LVMH decided that fashion’s bad boy and his anti-Semitic outbursts were a bit too much of a liability for the company name. Once on par with French legends like Paul Poiret and Jean Paul Gaultier, it is Galliano’s arrest and dismissal from his women’s fall fashion show in March that has dominated media attention. Though some personnel at LVMH vied for a second chance for the fashion heavy weight, who attributed his self-destructive faux-pas to multiple addictions for which he has recently been persuaded into treatment, Bill Gaytten, the relatively under-the-radar designer who worked with Galliano for 23 years, has been named the creative head of John Galliano’s namesake label. Though it has yet to be decided which talent will be plucked to hold the reins of Christian Dior, murmurs can be heard that Gaytten will be chosen to head this billion dollar label, as well.
Amber.Stardoll- It’s not uncommon that celebrities use their fame to live out their dreams of creating their own perfume or bag collection. Almost every celebrity has collaborated with a fashion label or shop, but some celebs have taken it one step further and actually designed the clothes! Check out our favorite celebs that have also worked as designers! Maybe these celebs were born to be designers and not singers and actors? Which fashion label do you guys like the most?

- Cameron Diaz is on a big tour promoting her new movie, Bad Teacher. We've seen Cameron in A LOT of short playsuits and thigh-grazing dresses. Cameron recently wore this little black and white Chanel dress and we just aren't sure what to make of it...
The dress is half black and then merges into a graphic black and white design. The hemline is a bit ragged looking, but it's supposed to be that way. And the top part of the dress is pretty see-through. Maybe this look would work if the hem was straight or if it was on someone younger, sorry, but Cameron is almost 40! She looks great (and not like 40) but the dress is still a bit too young. Do you agree?

- Rachel Weisz and our favorite Bond, Daniel Craig, recently tied the knot in a top-secret New York ceremony. The couple were married with just four people in attendance including Rachel's son, Henry, and Daniel's daughter, Ella. Rachel and Daniel met in 2010 so their romance hasn't been long, but when you know, you know!
We think they might be the most beautiful couple ever! Congrats you two, we're super happy for you! (people)

- It takes a bold woman to wear a bold color, especially when that color is head-to-toe hot pink! Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is currently promoting her new film, Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon, and was spotted wearing this shocking pink, Micheal Kors, silk jersey dress. We really love this color and think it makes for such a statement dress. Rosie played it smart and kept her hair, makeup, and accessories simple. But what do you guys think, do you think she pulled off such a BRIGHT color? Or would you rather see her in something a bit more neutral?

- This spring was all about nudes, pale greys, soft pinks, and creamy whites. And we loved it! But we'll admit we're now a bit tired of our muted wardrobe and super excited to play around with summer's brights!
This summer is all about bright colors! Shocking pinks, apple greens, sunny yellow, and cobalt blues. Embrace color this summer! If you usually choose darker, more subdued colors then wear a bright accessory like a neon yellow bag or a bright green scarf! Do like these celebs and amp up your wardrobe with a bit of color!

The event is held in celebration of menswear that helps fund the Foundation’s AIDS research programs. Sleeping Beauty star Emily Browning arrived with boyfriend Max Irons and opted for a matching black-and-white get-up. Unlike the other guests, the 22-year-old Australian actress did away with draped ball gowns, dazzling jewelry, and a fancy hair-do. Instead, she dressed comfortably in a Louis Vuitton fall 2011 playsuit complete with a gem-cut LV clutch and peep-toe pumps over knee-high tights. The rather somber and gray attire left Browning standing in the shadows of the brighter-dressed, like Diane Kruger in a fiery red YSL gown, and even Fergie who also sported an all-black LV ensemble.

- There seems to be a lot of changes in Jennifer Aniston's life these days with her new boyfriend, Justin Theroux, by her side. One of these changes just so happens to be a tattoo! Yup, Jen got inked! The tattoo is on her right foot and reads "Norman" after her beloved dog who died back in May. It's Jen's first tattoo and is a good way for her to remember her pup. What do you guys think of Jen's tattoo? Would you ever get your dog's name tattooed on you? (people)

- It seems this year’s resort looks are just what we’re wanting for the sunniest season of the year—hair wise. Casual, tousled waves made an appearance at a staggering number of shows this season. Frankly, we think it’s fantastic that such a languid hair style has been the style of choice. It’s summer, and we don’t want to put any more work into our hair than necessary.

- Some of our fave celebs have been rockin' peep-toe shoes and we love it! We love how the peep-toe shows off a hint of your foot (and your cute pedi) but is more structured than the usual pair of strappy heels. Do you want to know how to style this shoe trend? Check out these celebs that loves the peep-toe shoe and how they wear them!
