Sarah Jessica Parker lit up the East Room of the White House yesterday wearing a stunning red dress by Victoria Beckham. The Sex and the City actress was recognized by President Obama during the National Medal of Arts and National Humanities medal ceremony, which also honored Clint Eastwood and Bob Dylan. Parker's dress from Beckham's Spring 2010 collection was the perfect choice to meet First Lady Michelle Obama, who also looked stunning in one of her favorite go-to dresses-a violet polka dot dress by Jason Wu. This isn't the first time one of Victoria Beckham's designs have hit Washington-Jennifer Lopez wore a Beckham creation during her visit last September.

Runway Look of the Day: Prada

Imaxtree
I am loving all the cozy knits at Milan Fashion Week! This Prada look managed to be refined and comforting at the same time. The early 60s vibe of the beautiful hair and makeup, along with the sexy pointy shoes, also accentuated the interesting and fresh contrast.

Back in December, we told you about Carrie Underwood's engagement to NHL player Mike Fischer-and we've got more pre-wedding buzz for you today. The Grammy winner is having a custom pair of faux lashes designed by celebrity lash expert, Stephen Moleski! "I sent lashes to her makeup artist, Melissa Schleicher. Carrie wore my lashes to the Grammys and fell in love with them," Moleski says. "Melissa and I decided to create a custom pair based on Carrie's favorite elements of existing styles." The special set will be a mix of Moleski's New York, Nashville, and Miami lashes ($13.50/each, smokeandmirrorsbeauty.com). "It's a tapered feathered lash-shorter on the inside corner, thick and fluffy everywhere else," he says. The good news for you? As soon as Underwood and Fischer tie the knot, the lashes will available to the public on Moleski's site.

Natalia Vodianova’s Charity Necklace

Last night in London, supermodel Natalia Vodianova hosted the star-studded Love Ball, where proceeds from an auction benefited The Naked Heart Foundation, her charity that builds playgrounds for children in Russia. The most coveted item of the night? The Magic Moment necklace she co-designed with De Beers. The necklace’s name is inspired by an Alexander Pushkin love poem and features delicate diamond-studded chains and two pink-and-white heart shape diamonds. “Designing this piece with De Beers was an experience I will treasure forever,” Vodianova said. We love the versatility of the piece, which can be worn encircling the body (left) or as a pendant (right).

UPDATE: The De Beers Magic Moment Necklace designed by Natalia Vodianova raised $277,000. In total, the Love Ball raised more than $1.54 million for the charity.

EXCLUSIVE PHOTO: '70s Makeup from The Runaways

Courtesy of Linson Entertainment

In the Joan Jett-inspired movie, The Runaways, Kristen Stewart plays the music legend, Dakota Fanning plays band member Cherie Currie-and they both look incredibly '70s chic in this exclusive, never-before-seen photo from the set. "I designed The Runaways eyes around Make Up For Ever shadows," said Robin Mathews, makeup department head. For Stewart's smokey eyes, she smudged a mix of black liner and metallic taupe and brown black shadows on the lids. Fanning's eyes were rimmed in navy blue liner and topped with copper and blue shadows. The movie comes out March 19th, but for more tips straight from Mathews and a chance to hit the New York City premiere, check out these how-to videos.

Jean Paul Gaultier's Target collection mixes elements of edgy rock and roll with Hollywood glamour-and we can't get enough of it! (Not to mention, the $17.99 to $199.99 price range is easy to get behind.) For a tailored look, we love the pinstripe double-breasted jacket and matching shorts (far left), which pair casually with the gingham bustier and shrug (second from left). Mix patterns with the classic striped tank and the full floral skirt (third from left); for night, try the lingerie-inspired polka dot dress under the classic, yet ultra-cool trench (far right). Check out the entire collection before the line hits stores on March 7th.

No, Angelina Jolie didn’t get a new stylist-just a costume change. The star was spotted at a cafe in Paris in a cream pencil skirt, ladylike wrap and elegant coral scarf filming her new movie, The Tourist, which is out sometime next year. As the actress worked, Brad Pitt took Zahara and Shiloh on a girls-only shopping trip to exclusive boutiques on the Left Bank.

Claudia Schiffer Dishes on Her Career and Karl Lagerfeld

Courtesy of Fashionair
In Fashionair.com's new Supermodel video series, Claudia Schiffer curls up on a couch and dishes on her journey to stardom-which started at a nightclub in her hometown of Dusseldorf. "If I hadn't gotten discovered at that nightclub, I wouldn't have become a model. I didn't think that would be an option for me," Schiffer said. Her introduction to Karl Lagerfeld was another career-making moment: "I was so scared to meet him because I had such respect and admiration for him. But he was so lovely and generous." Lagerfeld then asked the German beauty to walk in the Chanel Haute Couture show in 1990, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Agyness Deyn Makes Fashionable Film Debut

Quentin DiDonna
In her first short film, Mean to Me, British supermodel Agyness Deyn plays a 1930s courtesan faced with tough decisions in Manhattan. Her Zac Posen gowns, Mikimoto pearls and Guerlain makeup, however, are anything but hard knock. "I'm deeply inspired by 1930s cinema, and I wanted to create a story in which the female protagonist is a beautiful, glamorous woman with an intense, multi-faceted personality," said director Peter McGough. Deyn used his guidance to inspire her performance in the 13-minute film: "Seeing [Peter's] passion for the 1930s was like jumping into a time machine. He provided huge insight into the time," said the model. Mean to Me screens at NYC's Cheim & Reid gallery on March 4 before making the rounds at international film festivals.

Hollywood's Top Colorist Dishes

Frank Trapper/Corbis; Ciao Hollywood/Splash News; Frank Trapper/Corbis
What's the secret to Hollywood's best hair color? Perhaps the question is really who. Meet Rita Hazan, a New York-based colorist responsible for tons of celebrity strands. For our March issue, Hazan dished on her top clients:
1. Jennifer Lopez's sunny highlights: "When I started working with Jennifer in the '90s, I thought it would be fun to experiment with honey highlights. I had no idea it would become such a big part of her look," the colorist says. Now Lopez gets "inside highlights" that show when she flips her hair.
2. Rachel Weisz's bold espresso: Hazan gives Weisz a cool brown to avoid brassiness. "If it starts looking too inky, I'll break it up with subtle highlights," she says.
3. Jessica Simpson's buttery blond: "The first time Jessica came to see me amp#91;at age 18amp#93; was to fix a bleached-out platinum dye-job," says Hazan. Now Simpson receives a base of golden blond with paler blond highlights.

SJP NYC's breezy ad, which features Parker in a floral Oscar de la Renta dress, also embodies her inspiration. "I wanted to capture a freeze frame in Carrie's life.
