Megan Fox, Blake Lively
Two very similar dress concepts taken two (way) different directions. Megan Fox comes across like Angelina von Teese in her hot-pink strapless sheath dress at last night's Moscow premiere of 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'. Blake Lively, on the other hand, achieved classed-up California beach babe in Michael Kors at the CFDA Awards.

Proenza Schouler designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez achieved a major milestone this week by being named Accessory Designers of the Year at the 2009 CFDA Awards. Today, the Belgian publication A Magazine's ninth issue, which they guest edited, comes out. They're the first Americans to do the job, so not bad.
A different guest editor oversees A Magazine each season, and the Proenza boys aren't shy about pointing out their milestone. Martin Margiela, Yohji Yamamoto and Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy (all of whom show their collections in Paris) previously have edited, but never made an effort to represent their respective countries on the pages.
"When we were asked to do this, it happened to be during the election, when America was having, for lack of a better word, a revolutionary moment," says Hernandez. "It was so cool to be American." And cool is exactly the word we'd use to describe the Old Glory-esque Chloe Sevigny cover, plus features ranging from Bruce Weber to Abraham Lincoln.

Well, Justin was the cover for our 'Most Stylish Men' issue. And Kanye was inside. We could have had Kanye on the cover and Justin inside, but we did decide that this year, it was Justin. So I guess we made our choice.

We have details about her ring and hen party, plus more about nuptials for Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone. Did we mention that the mega-designer is set to get hitched this month?


Well, shorter than his kneecaps, anyway. The newly crowned winner of the CFDA Swarovski Award for up-and-coming womenswear designs, Alexander Wang, showed a bit of leg at the ceremony and later at The High Line's Opening Summer Benefit presented by Calvin Klein.

Tracey Ullman and Diane von Furstenburg
Comedienne Tracey Ullman hosted the 2009 CFDA Awards last night in New York, and despite a poorly received joke about Kiefer Sutherland headbutting Proenza Schouler designer Jack McCollough, the ceremony went off without a hitch.
Ullman, while honouring First Lady Michelle Obama with a special tribute, mentioned that President Barack Obama shouldn't have worn a cardigan to meet the Queen. Should she have worn that dress?
