Noah Wyle Slowly Turning Into Woody Allen

woody allen project 4 310709

There’s a certain style we associate with Woody Allen, the rumpled, professor look that he’s made his trademark has been working for him for forty years. The khakis, the jacket, the bucket hat he wears while directing, they’re all signature Woody. Which is why we want to warn him that, just as Roman Polanski usurped the title of most pervy film director, Noah Wyle is trying to steal his style. Wyle, seen here at a Lakers game last night has gone from cute emergency room doctor to neurotic New Yorker with just a few key pieces (Converse All-Stars excluded.). Maybe he wants to be Woody’s next muse… [Photos: Splash News Online/WENN]

Claudia Schiffer Stole Her Look From Our Nana

SPL162401_001

Who knew that the housecoat our Nana wore every time we visited her would eventually become high-fashion? Claudia Schiffer did, apparently. Schiffer has taken grandma-chic to a new level, as seen here in a photo taken of the pregnant supermodel strolling the streets of London. Schiffer is a paparazzi favorite in England and is photographed regularly doing her kids’ school run in the morning, and she usually looks great, but we’re not feeling this look. Sure, our Nana never dressed up her look with tights and boots, but even those can’t make up for this bold-printed disaster.

Demi Moore Is Hotter Now Than She Was At 26

5412894

Back in 1989, Demi Moore was seemingly at the top of her game. Married to Bruce Willis, the 26-year-old’s star was on  the rise to the point where she was forgiven (and possibly even lauded) for her fashion choices like the awful dress/bike short number she wore to the 1989 Academy Awards. Seriously. That Spanx-y look was stylish back then.
More than twenty years later, Moore is now married to Ashton Kutcher and looks better than she ever has. Case in point, her appearance last night at the Pre-Oscar Domino Hollywood Gala Benefit in a gorgeous blue gown that makes her look gorgeous (and not quite so dated like her other look). No one’s going to look back on that outfit and complain, that’s for sure. [Photos: Getty Images]

Nicky Hilton From Day To Night

59804888

As Hilton’s go, Nicky is the one who seems to have her life together, and we’ve always admired her sense of style. Take for instance her effortless, cool leggings look (we like the outfit, which is a shock considering we fall into the “leggings are not pants” camp), with a leopard coat. We love the whole ensemble, especially her red ballet flats. Unfortunately, her chicness didn’t translate when she got dressed last night for the Domino Pre-Oscar Hollywood Gala Benefit. Hilton showed up in a droopy, 80’s-inspired dress that’s just one puffed sleeve away from being part of the Dynasty wardrobe. Her heavy diamond necklace (which we don’t doubt is real) might be worth a lot, but it adds a “My Nana lent me her jewels!” aspect to the entire thing too. The funny thing is that we’d probably be complimenting Paris Hilton on her modesty if she chose to wear the same exact thing. [Photos: Getty Images/Splash News Online]

Renee Zellweger Loooves Her Workout Pants

59197048

Curious thing we’ve noticed in the past couple years: Renee Zellweger rarely leaves the house in anything but workout clothes. Sometimes this includes sweatpants and a puffy coat, sometimes a sweatshirt, but 99.9% of the time, she’s out and about while wearing her most prized possessions, the cropped Lycra pant. We watch a lot of makeover shows on TV and have learned a lot from style gurus like Clinton Kelly and Stacey London and their predecessors Trinny and Susannah, and the one thing they always say is even if you’re just doing errands, dress appropriately. Do yourself a favor and wear something flattering, something you don’t wear for the express purpose of wicking away sweat, even. Alas, Renee marches (or jogs) to the beat of her own drum and no matter what city or country she’s in, she has the same uniform. Let’s take a look at Renee and all her various pairs of cropped stretchy pants, shall we?

Peaches Geldof Couldn’t Be More Bored While Modeling Lingerie

SPL145820_010

In the world of people famous for doing nothing, children of celebrities reign supreme. What’s funnier about the fame that’s been handed to them though, is when they actually try to get paid for doing work and prove their ineptitude. Take this most recent example of Peaches Geldof, mostly famous for boozing and feuding with Kelly Osbourne and Lily Allen (who are both members of the Children Of Celebrities club themselves), but who is now modeling lingerie. For whatever reason, the Ultimo lingerie brand opted to hire Peaches and her vacant stare to model its latest line. We’re not experts, but we think this girl might need a Top Model lesson in how to smize. Or at least how not look like a Weekend At Bernie’s-style walking corpse. [Photos: Splash News Online]

Dakota Fanning’s Style Restores Our Faith In Teens

59759094

It’s like a breath of fresh air, seeing a former child actor seamlessly transitioning into polished young adult, and that’s exactly what Dakota Fanning is doing these days. Not only are we impressed with how classy she looks here at the Cinema Audio Society awards, we’re just impressed with her poise in general. Sure, she’s allowed to make an occasional fashion misstep (like the Jenny Humphrey-esque birthday ensemble she was spotted in last week) but at in general, we want to give this girl a hug and tell her we appreciate her modest but still pretty awesome style.

Former Idol Contestant Throws Us For A Loop

59698570

At first glance, we had no idea who this beautiful, seemingly sane woman attending the Changing Hands film premiere in L.A. was, and then we were stunned when we figured it out. She’s none other than Tatiana Del Toro, the resident crazy-pants from last season of American Idol who was obsessed with Paula Abdul, obsessed with sharing her voice with the world, and obsessed with steamrolling anyone that got in her way. It’s definitely a step up from some of the skintight nightmares she wore last year on the show. If only she had gone demure back then, maybe she would have had a fighting chance. Wait, hold on, we’re remembering her laugh…yeah, we’re glad she got kicked off. [Photos: Getty Images]

Tyra Turns Her Hair Into Leona’s Beret

59698173

We thought Leona Lewis‘ black beret and vintage-looking ensemble was striking when she wore it to the ELLE Style awards this weekend, which is why we thought for a quick minute that Tyra Banks was trying to rip off her look.

Ty-Ty went a little old-school glam as well when she showed up on the red carpet for the CW “It’s A Reality” television event in New York last night, and for a second we thought she opted for a beret, too…until we realized it was just her hair. Both women look chic, but we’re going to to give this one to Leona purely because she’s inspiring us to jet off to Paris for the weekend (in our film noir fantasy world). [Photos: Getty Images]

Scott Disick Is Patrick Bateman From American Psycho

59673847

Kourtney Kardashian’s on-again-off-again boyfriend and baby daddy Scott Disick isn’t the most beloved person on Keeping Up With The Kardashians for many reasons. Some might be put off by the way he handles his relationship with Kourtney or his alleged infidelity, and some might think he’s just a jobless ne’er-do-well. Our main reason for hating on Scott, however, is that the guy dresses exactly like one of the scariest villains in recent memory, Patrick Bateman from American Psycho.

Bateman, as played by Christian Bale in the film from 2000, was a slick, homicidal Wall Street type who loved Huey Lewis and The News and killed pretty much everyone he encountered. Disick seems to think there’s a chance he could fill the role too, judging from the way he was dressed at the Dash Fashion Show that Kourtney was hosting in Las Vegas this weekend. Some may call it dapper but to us, it’s just plain scary. One key difference between Disick and his murderous inspiration: instead of carrying a nail gun around to blast through people’s skulls, he carries a Kardashian.

UPDATE: Here we were thinking we were the only ones who caught the resemblance, but funny enough, Kourtney Kardashian herself just blogged today about Scott’s resemblance to the American Psycho character.  Kourtney wrote on her blog that she and her sisters were asked by Celebuzz to create a dream cast for the currently non-existent film version of Keeping Up with the Kardashians: The Movie. And what did she say about Scott’s screen self?  ”Scott’s favorite movie is American Psycho and everyone says he looks like Patrick Bateman, so Scott would definitely be played by Christian Bale.” That explains so much! By the way, Kourtney thinks Penelope Cruz should play her, and says Jennifer Lopez would make a good Kim, and Khloe should be played by Mandy Moore.
