Calvin Klein TV commercial

Calvin Klein has a tv commercial for Spring 2011. within the last year, we've seen promo vids for new collections from clothing lines like Burberry and brands like Topshop. but using a tv commercial to promote an apparel collection is very rare. Calvin Klein's CEO and president Tom Murry expects to keep it post-Spring:

"We feel it has a fairly extensive shelf life and we can run it again this year, or next year. This is iconic Calvin product. We can run it in Milan or in Tokyo, or around a store-opening event, for instance. It really has multiple usages."

2010 Costume Institute Gala

my favorite picks are...

Jessica Szohr in Atelier Versace

(no Ed Westwick by her side. hmmm... her skin is glowing so beautifully though!)

Nichole Richie in Marc Jacobs

Joshua Jackson in Calvin Klein

(why does he look so good?! he's come a long way since his days on 'Dawson's Creek' and 'Mighty Ducks'. lucky girl, that Diane Kruger...)

Gwen Stefani in L.A.M.B. with Gavin Rossdale

(i swear she looks good at any age. there is a reason why she's been my hero since the third grade and still is... her hubby, Gavin, is gorgeous... as always.)

Brooke Shields in Michael Kors with Michael Kors

(yet another woman who looks good at any age. her brows are still worth dying for!)

Sienna Miller in Emilio Pucci

(one of my major style icons! she looks so adorable and sexy in this dress, all at the same time. no one else can do what she does. those shoes are killer... must find out who they're by.)

Vera Wang in Vera Wang with Mila Kunis

(though Mila's dress is a little distracting, Vera Wang looks stunning.)

Blake Lively in Marchesa

(so age appropriate, and so fresh. love it.)

Clavin Klein X

For the ladies.. and my Gay Gay ;)

The Grammys

I was disappointed Lady GaGa didn't win as many as I thought she would have, but at least Beyonce beat out Taylor Swift. Mind you, I don't hate the cute blonde goddess. She's great... for a model, that is. But honestly, that's all I see in her. So she won the award for Album of the Year. Great. She has a huge teen fan-base. But when I saw her performance at the Grammys last night, I had to look away in remorse. I've never heard anyone as pitchy as she was other than that one time when I saw The Starting Line in concert, but then again they were guys trying to sing like they were 14 years old, screaming to reach that high note their post-puberty vocal chords can't possibly reach. (now that I think about it, if she was to audition for American Idol, her clip would be in the "fail" collection.) I saw her perform live on SNL, and on other award shows and it's all the same. She was pitchy and off-key. I felt really bad for Stevie Nicks, who had to perform with her for one number. Ouch. No legendary music artist deserves to perform under such harsh conditions. It was like needles going through my ears.

Buuuuut, on the other hand, she looked absolutely stunning in her Kaufman Franco. She always looks her best for the red carpet and that is pretty much the only reason why I like her; she has great style. Plus she's actually v. cute. Once she comes into her own, I can see her doing a handbag ad for an edgy Louis Vuitton editorial spread in Vogue (think Madonna), or even a raw Marc Jacobs ad photographed by Terry Richardson with minimal makeup and less perfect curls. I love that girl for her blonde curls and sensible style, but as a music artist? Forget about it.

Anyhow, I rounded up some of my favorite dresses and suits for the evening. And on a side note, I was v. impressed by Kings of Leon's attire. It was v. unexpected from a rock band as theirs, and they looked really good.
