The latest film recreation of Tennessee Williams’s play, The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond, starring Bryce Dallas Howard as troubled southern belle Fisher Willow, drips with debutante glamour and French-American flare. The film’s costume designer, Christi Karvonides-Dushenko, who says she was inspired by everything from Elizabeth Taylor to 1920s Sears Roebuck catalogs, told us that “Diamond was a costume designer’s dream!” Among her favorite pieces in the film are Willow’s cotillion gown, which she discovered in a friend’s private collection and immediately sketched, and, of course, the custom-made teardrop diamond earrings inspired by a pair belonging to Marie Antoinette. But filming wasn’t without a few hiccups: “We filmed down south and the humidity was so intense… the vintage clothing was so delicate, it would disintegrate!” The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond is in theaters now.

We're having a Giada moment! With a new line of affordable and lustworthy kitchen tools launching this month at Target and a new book, Giada at Home out in March, de Laurentis makes it easy to entertain with style. Enjoy an exclusive look at one of our favorite recipes from the cookbook, cheese-stuffed dates with prosciutto:
Ingredients:
1/4 cup (2 ounces) goat cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup (2 ounces) mascarpone cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
16 Medjool dates (12 ounces)
8 thin slices prosciutto, halved lengthwise
In a small bowl, mix together the cheeses and basil. Season with salt and pepper. With a knife, make a lengthwise incision in each date. Gently open the dates slightly and remove the pits. Spoon about 1 teaspoon cheese mixture inside each. Close the dates around the filling. Wrap a piece of prosciutto around each date and secure with a toothpick. Arrange the stuffed dates on a platter and serve with a crisp white wine as the ideal before-dinner tidbit.

Hollywood brought the glamour last night for the 13th Annual Unforgettable Evening benefiting EIF's Women's Cancer Research Fund held at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. Taylor Swift, who did an acoustic number during the ceremony, looked chic in a one-shoulder red minidress from Valentino’s resort collection and Christina Applegate glowed in a silk Dolce amp Gabbana dress. The breast cancer survivor was presented with the Nat King Cole Award for her dedication to the cause. “I hate that having to be a cancer survivor was a way to open up the eyes and ears of women across the world. But, going through it and starting my foundation, Right Action for Women... was my gift, and the tragedy became a blessing,” the actress said.

Gaga Ooh la la-it looks like Karl Lagerfeld has a new muse. At the Chanel Haute Couture show in Paris yesterday, models sported "heart" hair that looked remarkably like Lady Gaga’s famous bow hairstyle. Maybe he's returning the love? The singer has made no secret of her favor for Chanel, wearing a black suit from the designer for her interview with Barbara Walters, and expressing worries that Mr. Lagerfeld might not dig her style: “Then I’d be upset. Because it’s Karl Lagerfeld!” she recently told People.com. We've been hotly anticipating what Gaga will wear for Sunday night's Grammy awards, and after seeing Chanel's latest lineup, perhaps we have a sneak peek!

Hats, high altitude, and freezing cold weather do not a good hair day make. And those are the exact conditions stars are facing at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. Luckily, celebrity stylist Patrick Melville is set-up at the Aveeno Style + Shine pop-up salon for impromptu
touch-ups-and Kristen Stewart, Malin Ackerman (left), Renee Zellweger and America Ferrera have been taking advantage. What look did Melville give rocker-chic Stewart? "It?s a simple blow dry with a little pomade and spray," he said. As for Ackerman, she just came in for a freshen-up. ?I flipped her head over, put in some Aveeno Volumizer hit it with a blowdryer and finished with shine spray for instant gloss and volume."

Scarlett Johansson made her Broadway debut Sunday night in Arthur Miller’s A View From the Bridge and, according to The New York Times, she melted “into her character so thoroughly that her nimbus of celebrity” disappeared.

"The audience let out a cheer when she entered for her curtain call," he added. Naomi Watts, Hugh Jackman and Ellen Barkin were part of the star-studded audience on hand to witness her debut. The actress celebrated that evening at the play's opening night party, where she glowed in a Dolce and Gabbana floral dress and glittering jewels.

We may be fashion-obsessed during awards season, but according to designer-turned-director Tom Ford, the red carpet doesn't reflect the season's hottest trends. "Awards clothes don't ever represent what's happening with fashion," he told People.com at last night's SAG Awards. "Most girls are terrified to wear anything that has too much character because they're afraid they'll end up in the 'Don't' section of a magazine. [Award show dresses] are pretty much the same." That being said, Ford still did have a pick for the night's best dressed. "Meryl Streep looks pretty great," he said.

Brad Pitt, Robert Pattinson and Jon Hamm have three of the most chiseled and most photographed faces in Hollywood-but lately, they've been shrouded in heavy facial hair! But no, the stars aren’t using their beards to dodge the paparazzi. Pattinson's look, which debuted at Friday night's Hope for Haiti Now telethon, is reportedly for his role in the upcoming film Bel Ami with Uma Thurman. Pitt's lengthy goatee is also in preparation for the movie The Lost City of Z, in which he plays a British colonel exploring the Amazon. As for Jon Hamm, facial fuzz seems to be an off-season look, which he's happily flaunted on the red carpet. The Mad Men actor still looks dapper, but we can’t help wonder: What would Don Draper think?

Loss of a Teardrop Diamond Style
The latest film recreation of Tennessee Williams’s play, The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond, starring Bryce Dallas Howard as troubled southern belle Fisher Willow, drips with debutante glamour and French-American flare. The film’s costume designer, Christi Karvonides-Dushenko, who says she was inspired by everything from Elizabeth Taylor to 1920s Sears Roebuck catalogs, told us that “Diamond was a costume designer’s dream!” Among her favorite pieces in the film are Willow’s cotillion gown, which she discovered in a friend’s private collection and immediately sketched, and, of course, the custom-made teardrop diamond earrings inspired by a pair belonging to Marie Antoinette. But filming wasn’t without a few hiccups: “We filmed down south and the humidity was so intense… the vintage clothing was so delicate, it would disintegrate!” The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond is in theaters now.

"What John did today was take it to another, more extravagant and beautiful level," she told Fashion Wire Daily.

Barbie Gets A Designer Makeover
Mattel and the CFDA have teamed up to launch a special initiative called Barbie Basics, a new line that features mini designer accessories kits to accompany an LBD-clad Barbie doll. Twelve designers, including Justin Giunta, Tory Burch and Rachel Roy, were commissioned to adorn each Barbie with their essential accessories. Giunta festooned his Barbie with a stacked pearl and chain necklace while Burch styled her doll with a feathered necklace and a beaded clutch. "I love something sparkling for evening," Burch told WWD. "Of course, add a bold necklace." The special edition dolls will be auctioned on eBay starting this Thursday through February 7.

Tom Ford Dishes on Red Carpet Style
We may be fashion-obsessed during awards season, but according to designer-turned-director Tom Ford, the red carpet doesn't reflect the season's hottest trends. "Awards clothes don't ever represent what's happening with fashion," he told People.com at last night's SAG Awards. "Most girls are terrified to wear anything that has too much character because they're afraid they'll end up in the 'Don't' section of a magazine. [Award show dresses] are pretty much the same." That being said, Ford still did have a pick for the night's best dressed. "Meryl Streep looks pretty great," he said.

Beards Are Back For Hollywood’s Finest!
Brad Pitt, Robert Pattinson and Jon Hamm have three of the most chiseled and most photographed faces in Hollywood-but lately, they've been shrouded in heavy facial hair! But no, the stars aren’t using their beards to dodge the paparazzi. Pattinson's look, which debuted at Friday night's Hope for Haiti Now telethon, is reportedly for his role in the upcoming film Bel Ami with Uma Thurman. Pitt's lengthy goatee is also in preparation for the movie The Lost City of Z, in which he plays a British colonel exploring the Amazon. As for Jon Hamm, facial fuzz seems to be an off-season look, which he's happily flaunted on the red carpet. The Mad Men actor still looks dapper, but we can’t help wonder: What would Don Draper think?
