Name That Baby! Part 2

Posted by Addie S. 02/09/10 4:29pm GMT



This one might be a little tougher ...

Again, this actress is a triple-threat: She acts, she dances and she's got a heck of a voice. In fact, she got her start by singing and dancing on Broadway before making her way to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. (She's a New York native.) And one final hint: Gossip columns have had her dating one of her costars, but she said it never happened.

Can you name that baby?

Dare to Wear: Jessica Alba

Posted by kgranero 02/09/10 3:04pm GMT



While stars like Jessica Biel and Jennifer Garner were laying on the romance at last night's "Valentine's Day" premiere, Jessica Alba seized the opportunity to channel her inner peacock/flapper in a feathered Proenza Schouler dress.

While I appreciate the flirty nature of the dress (peacock has been on the rise since last spring), its lack of shape and the pairing of those navy and green corked Marc Jacobs platforms look somewhat ammature. Hey, it would make a good Halloween costume.

Would you dare to wear this look?

Red-Carpet Recap: More Romantic "Valentine's Day" Dresses

Posted by Kim M. 02/09/10 2:40pm GMT



Well, not all of the dress that were spotted on the stars (and celeb guests) of the new rom-com "Valentine's Day" were lovable.

Julia Roberts' lace Dior LBD is perfect for a quiet date night, while her niece and actress Emma Roberts' youthful Jenny Packham number is ideal for flirting at cocktail parties. And while I just adore the always glowing Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon, her edgier Versace design is best left for the rock-and-rollers.

Jessica Alba was a miss in dark mussed hair, retro platforms and an unflattering A-line Proenza Schouler dress, but Demi Moore made up for it in a fitted Chanel hit. And Rebecca Gayheart, in a sumptuous silk jersey gown that shows off her pregnancy curves, is just as stunning.

Recreate Jennifer's "Valentine's Day" 'do with this step-by-step guide, courtesy of her stylist Adir Abergel:

Step One: Lift Your Locks
First, prep the hair by applying Fekkai Full Blown Volume Lifting Hairspray at the roots. Next, blow dry the whole head with your hands to create texture and bring out the natural wave.

Step Two: Create Curls
Follow by taking a round brush and blow dry the bangs forward and to one side. Continue with a 1’’ curling iron, curling hair away from the face but leaving the ends alone.

Step Three: Texture Your Tresses
After curling the hair, mix Fekkai Coiff Océanique Tousled Wave Spray with Fekkai Coiff Magnifique Ultra-Light Finishing Crème, and apply to the ends to create a tousled look. Finally, to hold the look for the entire evening, finish with the Fekkai Coiff Sheer Hold Hairspray all through the hair.

Style Showdown: Rihanna vs. Kat DeLuna

Posted by kgranero 02/09/10 1:10pm GMT



I was not expecting this sponge-colored Christian Siriano dress to show up again on the red carpet so quickly (primarily because it's just so distinctive), so when I saw it on Rihanna at the Pepsi Refresh Project Kickoff Party in Miami Beach just weeks after it was worn by Kat DeLuna to the Scott Barnes book launch, I felt a tad giddy.

Both leading ladies manage to pack a lot of personality into the already playful dress, but I prefer Rihanna's nude, strappy sandals over Kat's bowed peep-toes. I'm also falling for her jumbo earrings.

Which celeb makes a bigger splash in Christian Siriano?

Posted by Addie S. 02/09/10 1:07pm GMT


How well do you know your favorite celebrities' baby pics?

We'll give you three hints as to who this chubby-cheeked cutie grew up to be. First, she's a triple threat: She can act, sing and dance. Also, she's rumored to be dating one of her former costars (from a movie). And finally, not only does she have a hit movie in theaters now, but she's also on a mega-popular TV show!

Can you name that baby?

Are you ready for "Valentine's Day" -- the movie? At the star-studded premiere of the celeb-packed new film, Jennifer Garner, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Biel showed off their dress picks for the big night.

Garner glowed in a sexy Valentino strapless style that oozed sex appeal (the mommy to two still has it!), while Hathaway went even shorter with her sassy Marchesa mini. And Biel revealed a more over-the-top gown (in V-Day red) by red carpet dress master Oscar de la Renta.
