Who Was the Fabulous Woman Who High-Kicked on the SAG Awards Carpet?



Amid all of the glitz and glamour on the step and repeat at tonight's SAG Awards, there was one star who approached red carpet posing a tad differently. Hollywood stuntwoman and actress Zoë Bell, who is from New Zealand, stole the spotlight when she performed an impressive high kick (in stilettos!) instead of a traditional hand-on-hip stance. The action film-worthy move had the paparazzi going wild.

Bell’s chic outfit certainly made enhanced the unexpected red carpet moment. She impressively flexed her fighting skills in a tasteful white wrap dress design by Leave Her Wilder, a bridesmaids and resort wear label. She accessorized it with gold jewelry by Cathy Pope Jewellery, a gold clutch, and clear PVC stiletto sandals that she, somehow, was able to kick well above her head.

You've likely seen Bell's work, even if you're unfamiliar with her name. She has appeared in many Quentin Tarantino’s films, most recently in Once Upon a Time ... In Hollywood. She also served as Uma Thurman’s stunt double in Kill Bill, and had a leading role in Tarantino’s film Death Proof (one of the best heroine roles in a Tarantino film, hands down). Her karate-worthy pose on the carpet tonight, however, cemented her status as one of the industry’s coolest chicks.

Katie Holmes’s Birthday Suit Includes Her Favorite Winter Coat



Yesterday, Katie Holmes celebrated her 41st birthday. The stylish actress marked the special day by taking to the streets of New York City—she is a true New Yorker, after all!—for what we hope was some shopping and celebrating. And for the occasion, Holmes chose one of her favorite winter coats to tackle Manhattan’s unexpected snow squall. (Seriously, watch the ominous time-lapse video of it.)

The star’s coat of the moment? That would be Max Mara’s teddy bear shearling coat. Holmes wore the luxurious faux fur style earlier this month with checkered pants and low-tops; yesterday, however, she really leaned into its warm, cozy factor with a matching hoodie and sweatpants set in gray. (Consider it a primer on how to dress up a sweatsuit in the city.) Her sleek leather tote, crisp white sneakers, large sunglasses, and refined beanie helped elevate the look. Holmes: 1. Winter: 0.

Kylie Jenner Upgrades Athleisure With Vintage Chanel



The billionaire beauty mogul Kylie Jenner has a knack for glittering up even the most “casual” fashion moments with designer gear. She recently posed for a few Insta snaps wearing some seriously fancy athleisure.

Jenner’s off-duty ensemble began with a classic pullover sweater, a rare vintage style by Chanel logo’d with lipstick and a compact. (A fitting motif for a beauty mogul.) Then, she added another athleisure staple—leggings—though hers were a more fashiony pair, complete with a split-open detail at the ankle, which showed off her white stiletto pumps. No comfy sneakers here!

To finish it off, she piled on luxurious accessories, such as her 2000s-esque Chanel sunglasses and a discreet Prada shoulder bag. Her ultimate accessory, though? That would be the sleek, expensive-looking silver car (one of many she owns).

Priyanka Chopra Captures Fall’s Biggest Trends in One Outfit




While a fashion trend may start on the runway, its first real test is whether well-dressed celebrities will carry it into the streets. This season, Katie Holmes, the Hadids and other trendsetters have introduced us to a bevy of must-have jeans and accessories. And yesterday in Los Angeles, actress Priyanka Chopra highlighted many of the season’s biggest trends in one single outfit.

Chopra built her outfit around a pair of high-waisted, wide-leg jeans in white—the trending denim silhouette for fall, as worn by stars such as Margot Robbie and Katie Holmes. Overtop, she added a chic floral-print wrap top by Reformation with capped sleeves — the kind of romantic flourish that was seen all over the catwalks during Fashion Month. Then, she finished off the look with accessories that were of-the-moment, too, including plastic sandals—a major summer trend transitioning into fall—a structured cross-body bag by Bulgari, and retro sunglasses. Looks like someone has done their fashion research this season.

Amal Clooney Finds a New Power Color for Fall


Fall may conjure thoughts of neutral colors and falling leaves, but yesterday in New York, Amal Clooney made the case for a more vibrant autumn wardrobe. Spotted en route to the United Nations General Assembly, Clooney wore lime separates from Burberry’s Fall 2019 show; dubbed “Tempest,” the collection dove into political territory with references to climate change and Union Jack flags adorning its statement streetwear. Never one to go casual, Clooney gravitates towards polished pieces with an office appropriate vibe—and her brightly colored pencil skirt and overcoat reflected both the sophisticated look she’s become known for, as well as her high powered career as a human rights lawyer.

The beauty of Clooney’s look lies in its simplicity. When the shapes are classic, and the details understated, a bold color choice doesn’t necessarily seem showy; verdant green is just as valid as taupe, rust, or any of the other shades traditionally associated with the fall season. Complimented by patent square-toed pumps, a Dior Bar tote, and tortoise shell sunglasses, the look was as confident and refined as we’ve come to expect from the Clooney.
