STYLE DRAMA

We love when Eva Mendes strikes a pose in fashion ads and magazine covers, and are really pleased with her latest cover shoot. Eva, appearing in a stunning raspberry Gucci Fall 2008 draped gown, landed the September cover of Marie Claire.

Here are some extracts from her interview with the magazine:

On women’s strained friendships with each other:

“I don’t understand women who don’t like being with the girls. They say they’d rather be with the guys all the time? That it’s just so much easier? I’m calling bulls— on that.”

On Annette Bening being a true role model:

“She reminds me of one of those women back in the ‘40s and ‘50s. She’s a broad, and I want to be a broad. I mean, she’s like Ava Gardner or Bette Davis or Katherine Hepburn. Those women were broads. They said it like it was.”

On her life growing up:

“I was raised by parents who didn’t have much. We didn’t use whole pieces of paper towel. We shared, or used rags. Mom didn’t even want us flushing all the time.”

On believing the public doesn’t need to know everything about where she lives and how long she’s been with her boyfriend:

“Think about what this whole culture of celebrity has done to movie stars. It’s made them extinct. Actors used to carry films because people would have to actually go to the movies to see them. It was the only place. But now there’s none of that mystique, and so there’s less of a reason to buy a ticket.”

Helena Bonham Carter is facing a real style drama by wearing this weird pair of shoes.

The 42-year-old actress stepped out in spring-heeled shoes called Z-CoiL Mary Janes. The spring heel, supported by a 3in steel coil, is designed to act as a shock absorber. The rounded toe at the ball of the foot has a 3/4in cushion which lessens the impact of walking and prevent wear and tear on ligaments.

Though we respect people who choose comfort instead of fashion, we can’t stand these UGLY shoes.

Blake Lively appeared on the set of Gossip Girl in a Ralph Lauren costume that reminded us of Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady.

Brad Pitt is a photographer? What surprising news!

Fashion Week Daily reports the new papa photographed Angelina Jolie and family last week at Chateau Miraval in the South of France for the cover of the November W .

This is Pitt’s first time creating a cover, although photography has been a longtime hobby of his. Not only did he appear on the March 2007 cover of Interview wielding a camera, Jolie reportedly gave him a Littman 45 single camera as a birthday gift. In 2005, Pitt collaborated with friend Steven Klein to create a photo portfolio of Jolie and Pitt in the feature “Domestic Bliss” for W Magazine.

This tennis ace is stylish not only on the court, but on the red carpet too! At the Empire Hotel Friday night in New York, during  the Player Party presented by Heineken, Maria Sharapova made a bold statement in a juicy Stella McCartney tiered dress.

Hilary Swank, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Orlando Bloom, and Christina Aguilera attended The Trump International Hotel & Tower Dubai event in Los Angeles last night, but our eyes were on Ali Larter and Lucy Liu, who were the best dressed ladies on the red carpet.

Lucy Liu as usual, opted for a designer dress, this time she chose  an elegant Balenciaga number and completed the look with YSL tribute pumps.

Ali Larter stepped up in an amazing blue strapless pleated dress.

The worst dressed lady, to our surprise, was not Christina Aguilera, but 19-year-old Hayden Panettiere, who styled a little strapless leopard-printed dress along with matching Louboutin heels. An overdose of animal prints is never a fashion ‘do’.

Katy Holmes boyfriend jeans epopee continues, and this time she wore the same jeans as her hubby Tom Cruise. Hollywood’s beautiful pair appeared in public in matching PRPS jeans.

We’d never thought we would ask this, but tell us, who owns it: Katie Holmes or Tom Cruise?
