The 2012 Golden Globes Red Carpet Is Here!

Christina Perez — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 16:13:30 PST

>> Here they are - the best of the red carpet looks, straight from the 2012 Golden Globe Awards. Early on, the arrivals hit a high note with a bevy of striking - and somewhat surprising - ensembles: Claire Danes - who later won best actress in a television series for her work in Homeland - wore a graphic, backless J. Mendel; and Piper Perabo turned heads in voluminous Theyskens' Theory. From there, the gorgeous dresses just kept coming - with lots of designers turning up multiple times. There was Vera Wang for both Sofia Vergara and Madeleine Stowe, Prada for Zooey Deschanel and Freida Pinto, Lanvin for Emma Stone and Natalie Portman, and Dior for Charlize Theron and Mila Kunis. There was also plenty of Zac Posen, which was worn not only by Reese Witherspoon, but also by Elle Macpherson. Click through to see all those - plus looks from Rooney Mara, Angelina Jolie, Michelle Williams, and more - here, in our 2012 Golden Globes roundup.

Charlize Theron Designs Shoes to Benefit South African Charity with Toms

coutorture — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 14:13:17 PST

Blake Mycoskie, founder of feel-good accessory label Toms shoes, has co-designed a limited edition men's and women's collection with Charlize Theron. The two styles were created to celebrate Mycoskie's donation of over 10,000 pairs of Toms shoes to children in Theron's native South Africa.

Inspired by the South African baobab tree, the shoes, which have been made from vegan materials, feature the tree pattern embroidered over dyed canvas in blue and orange and are lined with Theron's own charity logo-that of the Charlize Theron African Outreach Project.

A portion of all proceeds will go directly to the African Outreach Project. If you need help remembering why (or how) to give Toms this holiday season, watch this video.

Happy socially-concious shopping!

Dior Taps Mila Kunis

Christina Perez — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 11:44:49 PST

>> Mila Kunis has been named the new face of Christian Dior. The actress - who also appeared on some of the top-selling magazine covers of 2011 - will front Dior's 2012 worldwide media plan, including the Spring ad campaign. Photographed by Mikael Jansson, the campaign will debut in China on January 15, and will hit the US January 29 when it appears in The New York Times. "Mila Kunis is a very talented young actress; she embodies the true modern woman." Delphine Arnault, deputy general manager at Dior told WWD. "We are looking forward to a long relationship with her."

Kunis agrees. "I find that Dior is an incredibly grounded house. I always thought what Dior does is so sophisticated, feminine and beautiful," the actress said. "They made me feel incredibly comfortable. I can’t say it was the hardest thing to do."

Kunis joins a long list of acclaimed actresses - Natalie Portman, Charlize Theron, Marrion Cotillard - who have served as the brand's models and ambassadors. "Christian Dior designed several costumes for the movies and maintained personal relationships with such actresses as Marlene Dietrich, Rita Hayworth, Ava Gardner, Sophia Loren, Marilyn Monroe, Liz Taylor and Grace Kelly," Arnault explained. "It is thus only natural for the house of Dior to continue to develop a very specific and personal relationship with actresses."
