On Sunday morning, Hollywood awoke to the news of the sudden passing of fashion designer Alber Elbaz, who died at 59 in Paris from Covid-19. The one-time creative director of Lanvin counted Natalie Portman, Kim Kardashian, Meryl Streep and Harry Styles among his A-list fans.
But just as the fashion world mourned the loss of an icon to the pandemic — a harsh reminder that the virus is still wreaking havoc across the globe — it simultaneously provided a wondrous, fleeting respite from the realities of the last year in the form of a glamorous, socially distanced red carpet at the 93rd annual Academy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon.

Avoiding wardrobe malfunctions and slip-and-fall mishaps are not the only concerns celebrities have on the red carpet.
While the Golden Globes are one of the biggest nights of the year for the entertainment industry, it’s also one the biggest night for fashion houses hoping to land their designs on the Best Dressed lists. But for some designers, their foreign or unconventional names don’t always roll off the tongues of the famous faces donning their apparel.

Hey there, Alber Elbaz: Welcome to the club! After years of holding out, the famed former Lanvin creative director is now on Instagram. Until this point, Elbaz was among the few designer greats left to have not traversed into the social media world.

And first and foremost, that's starting with a growing online presence. "Huge hugs+Big thanks to all of you around the world for showing me so much [love]. The day after my last show in Paris , I met with Kevin Systrom, the co-founder of Instagram. I joked and told...

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West sat front row together at the Lanvin runway show during Paris Fashion Week on Thursday evening and proved just how much your significant other's behavior can rub off on you. Kim was clad in a black, cleavage-baring frock from the collection, while her husband, Kanye, showed off his own impressive pecs in a low-cut blue silk shirt; it's not hard to see how Kanye could have been inspired to show some skin, as Kim has pretty much perfected the art of putting her assets on display. Kim and Kanye have been taking in the runway shows this week after arriving in France with their baby daughter, North West. The family was all smiles when they attended the Balenciaga show on Wednesday, but their overseas trip hasn't been without drama. While heading into the Balmain show on Thursday, Kim was attacked by notorious red carpet prankster Vitalii Sediuk,...

Cleavage, meet heavage! Kim Kardashian may have shown up to the Lanvin fashion show wearing just a tuxedo jacket with not much on underneath, but it was her husband’s own cleavage that commanded the most attention. When Kanye West arrived at the Alber Elbaz fashion show in Paris on Thursday, Sept. 25, the rapper was wearing a midnight blue short-sleeve button-up with jeans that were slashed at the knee. The high-fashion look appeared simple and understated, but by the time the “Yeezus” rapper took his seat, things took a turn for the [...]...

Trying hard to score the perfect ensemble, Kim Kardashian made modifications to her getup for the 2014 Met Gala all the way up to the moment she stepped onto the red carpet.
While she initially wore a thick black belt, leather wrist cuffs and minimalist sandals as she embarked on her commute to the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday (May 5), the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” cutie arrived without the wrist accessories and with black t-strap heels and a slimmer belt.
Kim took to her blog to explain the last-minute changes- "Last night was an amazing time at the Met Gala. I was in love with my Lanvin strapless dress. Alber Elbaz helped Kanye and I get ready for the evening, which was a perfect fit because he also dressed us for the cover of Vogue."

It was noticed after the fact that Kim Kardashian hadn't entirely settled on her complete look for the 2014 Met Gala until the last minute, because a photo taken while she and Kanye West were on route to the ball showed her with chunkier accessories and different shoes than the ones she ultimately wore at the event. Knowing she must have raised a few questions, Kim took to her blog this afternoon to explain. "Last night was an amazing time at the Met Gala," Kim began.

Six years after he died, the 'truth' over Yves Saint Laurent's hedonistic and tortured life is being fought over by two new films
In 2001, seven years before he died, Yves Saint Laurent agreed to be filmed by documentary-maker David Teboul for a rare behind-the-scenes look at his work. In the opening scene, watching a slideshow of family photographs, he grimaces: "J'ai joué le 'grand couturier'…" His voice is both sad and self-mocking; the voice of an old man looking back across a great distance at his frail 16-year-old self, head bowed over his lavishly dressed paper dolls.
Growing up in 1940s French Algeria, the young Yves Henri Donat Mathieu-Saint-Laurent dreamed of Paris: a bullied outcast at school, he escaped into fantasy at home – devouring his mother's fashion magazines, sketching endlessly, and predicting (in the safety of his adoring family circle, at least) a future of spectacular fame.
